And finding a niche helps you to navigate through all of these obstacles.
To niche down means that you will be able to marketing success because you create laser focus. So, instead of casting a wide net and hoping that people bite, you go straight to the warm shallow water full of the prospective clients you deserve.
You can then craft products, marketing, and messages towards them making them feel special and important rather than like everyone else.
