One of the biggest superpowers we have as humans is the power to decide how we feel about our reality.

We can't always decide what that reality is, but we can decide how we react and how we feel about it, and the story that we tell ourselves about it. In this episode of Market Like a Parent (& Parent Like a Marketer), we’ll explore the power of reframing both in parenting and marketing.

You’ll Hear:

• The superpower of choosing your narrative in life and business
• Parallels between handling objections as a parent and as a marketer
• The concept of reframing
• The art of turning weaknesses into selling points
• The importance of staying centered and grounded when facing challenges

Do you wanna take a bath now or do you want to eat dinner first and then take a bath?

When we give our kids a choice we give them empowerment, but either choice gets you what you want.

You’ll Hear:

• The psychology behind giving choices
• How to use “yes or yes” options in your business (and why it’s not manipulative)
• Examples of offers that position choice
• The importance of risk reversal and making “yes” the safe option
