Let’s be real, many entrepreneurs sound… just fine. Not bad. Not great. More like the beige wallpaper of the business world. We use language that feels “professional” but often comes off as polished and neutral—think corporate speaking at a family reunion. The result? Our content blends in, our messaging resembles elevator music, and the right people scroll right past.
The Problem: Not Knowing Your Voice
It’s not just about getting seen; it’s about figuring out your actual voice. Too many of us drown under the weight of expectations.
The Solution: Owning Your Brand Voice
Your brand voice isn’t something you invent—it’s something you own.
An intentional brand voice sounds like you on your best, clearest day. It reflects your values, your experience, and the way you naturally communicate.
1. Stop Performing Professionalism
Professional doesn’t mean personality-free! Your audience wants clarity and authenticity, not corporate buzzwords or fluff. Find that balance, and watch your voice get more compelling and strong.
2. Speak to One Person, Not Everyone
When speaking to everyone, your message loses power. Instead, aim your words at one person—make it personal and intentional.
3. Let Your Experience Lead
You don’t need to sound like an expert—you already are one. Speak from lived experience, not comparison.
4. Stay Consistent, Not Cookie-Cutter
Consistency builds trust. But sameness? That just puts people to sleep. Find the right mix to keep your voice punchy and engaging, not like a monotone robot reciting the phone book.
The Bottomline
Your voice is one of your strongest business assets, so use it! Start talking and writing as if you’re chatting with your funniest friend; that’s where the authenticity lives! The moment you stop trying to sound like everyone else is the moment the right people start paying attention.
Your Challenge
It’s time to get honest: if your audience heard you speak out loud, would your content feel like a cozy blanket or a stiff lecture? Let’s be real—genuine connection comes from clarity. If your answer isn’t a confident “absolutely,” then it’s time to get to work on your true voice!
🎯 If you’re done running in circles, it’s time to lead with clarity.
