Weekly-ish Wisdom from Jennifer Kem

If you’re starting at zero today, don’t worry: So does everybody. I did too.

If you’re starting at zero today, don’t worry: So does everybody. I did too.

When I started my business teaching entrepreneurs to get seen, heard, and paid to be themselves, I’d already been in the marketing and branding space for 20 years. But I had no following. No email list. No products or programs.

Sure, I was booking gigs as a consultants for big corporations, but when it came to leads for the kind of stuff I really wanted to do (which is working 1-1 with people like you), I had to start from scratch.

I got into this business because helping entrepreneurs have more influence and impact, and create income that creates a legacy opportunity for them and their families, is my passion.

If you’re thinking “That’s awesome for you Jen, and you make it sound for easy — but it isn’t easy for me! Putting myself out there in public constantly scares me half to death.”, I hear you.

(Believe it or not, I’m a “secret introvert” myself. I’ll teach and serve from the stage, I’ll go to events, but at the end of the day, I need to retreat to my books and time alone.)

The good news is there’s a “system” for just that.

Successful Brands Know This Secret

I need to be clear with you about something:

You know all the successful brands you see (and maybe stalk a little) online — the ones with the beautiful houses, the tropical vacations, the teams and communities obsessed with what they do?

They aren’t at the top  of their game because they reached a certain amount of followers, customers, email subscribers, or Facebook group members and thought, “You know what? I’m done.”

Every single day, they’re in the trenches of their businesses building systems, testing new concepts, pivoting their strategy, and educating themselves on what’s coming next.
