[Legacy post: Small Business Talent] Most independent professionals would love nothing better than to build a business around their core strengths. That’s why I asked an expert on this subject to join me on the podcast today for an in-depth interview.
My guest is Steve Woodruff. Steve specializes in helping solo professionals and business owners to discover their “core fit” in a specific marketplace. His unique approach is called “Clarity Therapy”. Why? Because it’s like working with a psychologist and a branding agency rolled into one.
Step-by-step, Steve helps his clients to unpack what they and their business are really all about. This includes getting clear about a number of elements, including your Company DNA, Key Offering, Market, Story, Message and Analogy.
Isn’t it time to take a fresh look at yourself and your work? If you said yes (or even maybe), then you’ll find this interview very interesting. Scroll down to the Podcast Player now and have a listen!

14 Years as a Solopreneur. 14 Lessons Worth Pondering.
Late in the summer of 2000 — I made my leap to self-employment. Just for fun, today I’m sharing 14 lessons that I’ve learned over the past 14 years:
- Studying human nature leads to a lot of useful insights.
- As usual, Benjamin Franklin was right: “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”
- Doing business with people whose values you admire is uplifting.
- Doing business with people you don’t respect is never worth it.
- If you’re wrong, take full responsibility and apologize immediately.
- If you’re right, making the other person feel wrong is counterproductive.
- Developing a sales process that compliments your strengths is smart.
- Accurately grasping the wants and needs of your customers is essential.
- Marketing triggers sales conversations, but it seldom replaces them.
- Making other people feel important improves relationships.
- Making other people feel unimportant creates resentment.
- An appreciation for humor makes business and life a lot more fun.
- The art of enjoying your daily challenges is well worth mastering.
- The years will fly by quickly. You’re here for a short time, act accordingly.
