Is The Fear Of Change Why You Are Still Holding On? [Video]

Are you holding on to the wrong things in your business because of the fear of change? Let’s use clothing as an easy analogy. Holding on because of fear of change can definitely be debilitating for any business growth. Yet holding on does have it's merits... I started thinking about holding on to things you love for the right reasons in different aspects of life and business. About holding on to things because you're just used to holding on and you are afraid of change and when to let go. So, let's use my sweater as an analogy today now that I've rediscovered it. Watch my recent live video to hear more: A lot of times, especially in style because

[True Confession] What’s in a brand name?

Perception...In all honesty I was thinking about changing my instagram handle from @focusonstyle to my name, Sharon Haver.I started to feel like after 2O years online and having a syndicated newspaper column that went out to 400 papers with that name before it, it was time for change.Not necessarily just for me…But because the word “style” seems to REPEL a certain audience and ATTRACT another. (Don’t even get me started about what some people think about real stylists.)Yet STYLE is your FINGERPRINT in everything you do and how you are perceived.It’s not just fashion, beauty, home, brand, business, but style is your vibe… your individuality… your essence.WHAT DOES STYLE MEAN TO YOU?Granted I’m using my MARKETING brain more openly but

The Best Way To Promote On Social Media Without Being Salesy? [Video]

What's the best way you can promote on social media without being salesy? Celebrity Hack Ahead: Are you afraid to reveal too much personal info or be hardcore selling on social media? If you are, you’re right on both. Here’s the thing, people come to social media to be social. So if your feed looks like a classified ad with zero character, no one will pay attention. Conversely, if you have a bad case of TMI and are over-sharing personal details, if you’re not talking to real friends, no one really cares. But there is a golden mix! I started to observe the feeds of celebrities who also have products. People like Bethenny Frankel and Kim Kardashian. Here's what I

How Branding Is Like Your Favorite Old Boots [Video]

Are you a shoe lover too? Stay with me and you'll see how old boots are a lot like your business.Did you ever have a favorite pair that you loved so much but you knew it was time to put rest?Check out my bad mamajama high heel western boots that I rocked while pushing my son's stroller- about 19 OMG years ago.In Europe, the style is peeking its way back on trend so I decided to dig them out of the closet and rock them a different way today.Style is cyclical.Pretty much: something becomes "the" thing, it gets overdone so it fades away until, in due time, comes back in a similar tweaked way that appears fresh to your eyes.Same

You Have The Power To Be True To You

I’m going to get frank… does this resonate with you or someone you know?? I’m afraid. I’m scared. I’m not worthy. What if….? Little stabs against your self worth, little punctures of your strength… inflicted by your own hand. I see so many women coaches, entrepreneurs, business owners— many younger— who have personally taken their own power away. They’re so afraid to get out there. So afraid to simply just be themselves that they have paralyzed themselves from ever rising to their goals. Yesterday was a weird juxtaposition… I was speaking with a women who was traumatized to show up as her brand- full of excuses and fears that she was making herself sick from the emotions involved in hiding.

The Hidden Costs Of Speaking Vs. Online Marketing? [Video]

Is Speaking right for you? Let's get real on speaking vs. digital. Okay, fess up... are you a little afraid of the online world? Do you think public speaking is a better choice because you're not that techie? Maaaaybe not so much. Listen as I share some numbers and expenses and where the rewards and targeted results come from. You may be surprised. I meet so many women entrepreneurs and coaches who totally buy into the 'speaking thing' without realizing the hidden costs... emotional, physical, and monetary from pursuing the dream. The results are not nearly as targeted (unless you can sell ice to an Eskimo) and you end up in a viscous circle of maybe the next one will
