Self Employed Strategist & Speaker | Brand Messaging Expert | Jeffrey Shaw

As a thought leader on the topic of small business and self-employed success, Jeffrey is available to deliver content as a keynote speaker, breakouts, workshops, and webinars. Jeffrey believes in an integrative and immersive approach to applied learning and loves to be a collaborative partner to design precisely what will best serve those you serve.

Being Self-Employed: Unconventional Business in a Conventional Business World

If you’re bold enough to start your own business, you’re the innovative thinker, the freedom seeker, the one who feels boxed in at a corporate job, or seeking more purposeful work. You have experience, a talent, or a skill set that you can build a business on.

 

You set out in business wanting to blaze a new path yet find yourself following the same ole tried and true strategies of business which feel inauthentic and just tired at this point.

 

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Those conventional ways of thinking need to be translated into unconventional ideas that actually work to grow your business and feel aligned with who you are. The old adage “Business is business, don’t take it personal” doesn’t work for you.

 

Learn how to flip conventional business ideas upside down that result in specific action steps you can apply in your business right away as well as feel like you have finally discovered a way to be in business that feels good and is aligned with all the reasons you went into business for yourself in the first place.

Designing Your Self-Employed Life: Build a Business that Supports The Lifestyle of Your Dreams

We go into business for ourselves for freedom, flexibility, and control over our futures. Yet we often end up feeling like we’re trying to fit our life into our business instead of having a business that fits into our life. We keep thinking it will change when we get to some point. It’s true at every stage of business–whether we’re building the business or the business takes off. 

 

We love what we’re doing but we seem to lose ourselves.

 

Just imagine it being different. Imagine a business that supports the lifestyle of your dreams. Where every business decision is first a lifestyle choice. Imagine only doing the work that matters most to you with more time spent in your zone of genius. Imagine less tension between your work life and home life without guilt or the feeling that you’re falling short in areas of your life.

 

Imagine not feeling stretched too far and finding out this feeling of being overwhelmed is actually an indicator that your next level of success awaits you–if you intentionally design the lifestyle you are dreaming of.

 

Learn actionable strategies from Small Business Coach Jeffrey Shaw to gain control over your circumstances, time to focus on the work you most want to do, set boundaries to improve your performance, and get to have the lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of.

Be Irresistible: Brand Messaging that Attracts Ideal Customers (and filters out the rest)

Do you know how we often waste time trying to satisfy some customers that will never be satisfied? Or we chase down potential customers to no avail? Or they demand the lowest price?

Then there are those customers that are a breeze to work with, enjoy the best customer experience, and are often the most profitable. You want more of those customers, right?

​It turns out, it’s not our job to prove our value to anyone. It’s our job to find the customers that already value what we do. The most efficient way to grow a business is to work only with your ideal customers. The ones that value what you do and are the easiest and most profitable to work with. We do that with brand messaging and marketing that speaks the lingo of your ideal customers in order to attract them and filter out the rest. When that happens, your ideal customers feel like you “get” them and they fall in love with your business!
