We all have those days. You are out of coffee, you tripped over the dog and now your toe has it’s own heartbeat, and you are fresh out of “get it done.” Don’t worry, I’ve got you.

Here’s what you do. Pick out two or three recent customers/clients, and send them a little email/text/whatever.

“Hey Laura,

Quick favor? Would you write me a google review about your recent experience with me? It doesn’t have to be anything profound, just a few words about what success looked/felt like to you. I would be ever so grateful! Here is the link: (insert link here).”

Now go and read Laura’s words. You helped another human. You gave of yourself, and the result was success for another person! Now get out there and add value to another person’s life today. Because you can, and it’s what you wanted to do in the first place!

When Lindsey began her coaching career back in 2006, she had no idea that she would spend the next decade learning all about building a brand the hard way.

After successfully launching her most recent venture, Lindsey Oaks Personal Brand Photography, Lindsey began to see that many of her clients had no idea how to seize the marketing power of their own personal brands.

As a professional coach, Lindsey found herself coaching her photography clients on how to create and maintain their personal brands over and over. Realizing that her unique experience as a coach provided her with the opportunity to help others reach their potential, the Personal Brand Academy was born.
