Feedback from a few people I've helped 🫶

"

How do you thank someone who stopped you from giving up on your business and helped you discover your true purpose?

For years, I was held back by a missing link that I couldn’t identify—until I worked with Steph Blake.

She helped me find it in a Mastermind where we shared our businesses, fears, and mindsets in a safe, supportive space.

Despite never having met Steph before, the experience was transformative. I’ve worked with countless coaches and invested significant time and money without seeing results, but none understood my mission and passion like Steph.

She grasped my "why" almost better than I did.

What makes Steph unique is how much she truly cares. She listens deeply and finds the simplest, most effective strategies to help you start or scale your business.

Thanks to Steph, I now believe I can build the business I’ve always envisioned. The outcome exceeded my expectations.

Testimonial from Huguette Charles, sharing how Steph Blake helped her find her true purpose and provided transformative business guidance in a supportive mastermind, resulting in clarity and belief in her ability to build her dream business.

When I found Steph, I had already spent 8 months searching for how to grow from an unprofessional blogger to a professional, recognizable business in my industry.

No one seemed to offer that 'secret sauce'—the guidance you need when you're trying to grow, but don't have enough time to do it all yourself or the money to hire help.

When I saw a bundle that she hosted, I immediately thought, 'This is the woman I need to learn from.'

And I was right!

Steph provided exactly what I had been searching for all year but couldn’t find anywhere else.

She’s been the missing piece I needed to take my business to the next level!"

Hey, I'm Steph Blake 👋

I'm that crazy woman who is obsessed with working less than 20 hours per week & making a full-time income 🤪

...AND I WANT TO HELP MAKE THAT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TOO!

It's really easy to fall into the trap of overworking & not getting the results you want.

With over 20 years of experience in marketing and 10 years running my own business, I’ve been there—I worked the 80+ hour weeks chasing the elusive “6-figures per year” goal.

But when I found out I was pregnant with my first son, I realized that I needed to figure out a way to leave my 9-5 job and go full-time in my business.

So I created a SIMPLE solution that my ADHD brain could understand & implement...quickly!

For the past 6 years, I have taught this method to thousands of people, retired my husband in early 2022 from his 9-5 job & consistently work <15 hours/week while making 6+ figures.

Unlocking Business Success with Strategic Brand Positioning

January 19, 20254 min read

"Brand positioning is not just about having a logo; it’s the foundation of trust in your business. Understanding how you want to be perceived by your audience is key to achieving bigger and better results." - SUSAN FRIESEN

In today’s fast-paced business world, standing out isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a must. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been in the game for years, finding your edge can feel like an uphill battle. But here’s the good news: strategic brand positioning can make all the difference.

It’s not just about looking good—it’s about creating a brand that resonates with your audience, builds trust, and makes people want to stick around for the long haul.

Recently on The Simple Business Show™, I sat down with Susan Friesen, founder of E Vision Media and a brand strategist with over 25 years of experience.

We dug into what brand positioning really is and how it can transform your business. Spoiler: it’s so much more than just a logo or color scheme.

What is Brand Positioning?

Brand positioning is all about how your audience perceives your business. It’s the story people tell about your brand when you’re not in the room. It’s not just visuals—it’s the promise you make to your customers and how you deliver on that promise.

Susan shared that successful brand positioning starts with clarity. If your audience doesn’t instantly understand who you are, what you do, and why you’re the best fit for them, you’ve got some work to do.

Building a Brand That Works

Here’s where it gets interesting. Susan emphasized that for new entrepreneurs, your first step should be understanding your audience and refining your services before worrying about the aesthetics of your brand.

Yes, making money is important, but building trust through thoughtful brand positioning can set you up for sustainable growth.

For those of you further along in your business, it might be time for a brand refresh. Ask yourself:

  • Does my current brand reflect where my business is now?

  • Am I attracting the right clients?

  • Does my messaging feel outdated or misaligned with my goals?

If you answered “no” to any of these, it might be time to realign your brand strategy.

Navigating Trends Without Losing Your Identity

We’ve all seen the rise of TikTok, short-form video, and the constant pressure to jump on the latest trend. But Susan’s advice was clear: you don’t need to rebrand every time a new trend pops up. Instead, test the waters.

Does this platform or trend align with your brand values and your audience’s needs? If not, keep moving.

Your brand should evolve, but it should never lose its essence.

How to Measure Brand Effectiveness

Wondering if your branding efforts are paying off? Here are a few ways to track your success:

  • Are sales and leads steady or growing?

  • Is your audience engaging with your content online?

  • Do customers understand your offers, or do they seem confused?

If things aren’t aligning, it might be time to reassess and fine-tune your brand positioning.

Why Brand Positioning Matters

At the end of the day, a strong brand isn’t just about standing out—it’s about creating a business that aligns with your goals, connects with your audience, and supports your growth.

If you’re ready to take a closer look at your brand strategy, tune into this episode of The Simple Business Show™. Susan and I dive deep into actionable strategies that can help you position your brand for success.
