Episode Details

I was asked a question in a recent live session that I think applies to every creative business owner. Whether you're service-based or selling products through stockists, does focusing on a specific ideal client actually matter if you don't control who buys from you?

The answer might surprise you. It's not about demographics. It's about values. And once you understand that, everything can shift.

Key Moments:

• [00:00] The question that started this conversation 
• [04:58] Why saying "everybody" was the worst answer I ever gave
• [07:25] Why demographics told me nothing, how i got specific, why my buseness then took off
• [15:40] Why this matters even more if you sell through stockists 
• [19:07] How to actually figure out who you're for

Notable Quotes:
