A Smaller Niche Doesn’t Mean A Smaller Impact: How Narrowing Her Scope Helped Deb Blum Add Bigger Value
As entrepreneurs, and especially as women, most of us have a deep desire to ‘save the world’ and be of value to others, and that’s beautiful, but it can make niching down incredibly difficult.
The problem is, narrowing down the scope of what we do is the key to running a successful business that doesn’t consume every waking moment of our days, so we have to resist the urge to be everything to everyone.
However, that can be easier said than done. How can we possibly go deep on just a few things, and where do we begin to define what those few activities are?
In this episode, Founder of Age Awesomely, Deb Blum and I discuss how pinpointing her niche actually allowed her to provide more value to others.
“The information world is saturated, and that doesn’t mean you can’t stand out, but it does mean you won’t stand out if you don’t choose to build businesses around a specific problem people have.”

Do you ever feel like you need a coach to help you reach your goals? Of course you have, we all have, and you DO need support, guidance, and accountability. The challenge is that you have always believed that you needed to spend thousands of dollars to get the attention and guidance you need. UNTIL NOW!! (ok I always wanted to be super dramatic and say that)
But really, we built the Nurture to Convert Society to be the ONLY (and I really mean the only) group coaching program that offers a member-centric approach that provides so much more support and guidance than any program you have already paid for or hoped you could find.

A Boss Mom who knows that her beautifully unpredictable schedule isn’t something that needs to be fixed to be successful (because you can’t),
and wants to follow a system that will get results without sacrificing family time.
If you want to join a group coaching program that gives you specific (and flexible) guidance, makes you feel supported, gives you just-in-time decision support, becomes your new community home, and helps you reach your sales and marketing goals in a way that feels easy, fun, and not so time-consuming.
