In order to grow your income and impact you need to identify and embrace your "core message."

A core message is like a life theme that is uniquely yours. It's formed by your experiences, temperament, talents, and gifts. If categories like topics, styles, and target audiences were flowers, your core message would be the root system connecting and feeding them all.

Some might call it your "why" or your "calling" or your "Inner Red Power Ranger" (just us?). Whatever you call it, you have to understand it so that your decisions can be guided by it and not by an anxious striving to pick the most marketable topic or technique.

Nicki Joiner understands the importance of identifying your core message. More importantly, she's in the thick of it herself. And her journey to identify it (and the insight she's gleaned along the way) are PURE GOLD.

In this episode, we'll get to the gold through:
