Confidence and clients come naturally when you’re clear on your business and brand.

I’m Beth Farris, a business mentor, brand strategist, and marketing coach for solo business owners.

Being a business owner is scary, exciting, frustrating, tough, rewarding, exhausting, but most of all – empowering.

When you create a business on your own terms and make a positive impact, it’s an amazing feeling. And I want that for you too!

My mission and method is simple. I help people start and evolve their own business through clarity on their unique brilliance, niche, business model, message and marketing strategy.

I worked in the corporate world in various marketing roles for 18 years. Then in 2017, I made the transition from employee to entrepreneur.

As a marketing consultant I worked really hard and tried to do everything for everyone. I learned that if the quality of your work is high and you can connect with people, you CAN get a certain amount of clients, repeat work and referrals.

BUT THERE WAS JUST ONE PROBLEM.

Although I landed some great contracts, working this way was not efficient. In fact, it was exhausting. Everything started to just feel… hard.

  • Spending hours on custom projects and proposals.
  • Feeling awkward and insecure explaining what I do.
  • Posting random content on social media because I lacked clarity on my niche.
  • Getting the wrong kind of clients referred to me.

The secret to getting more clients? It’s simple (not sexy). It’s getting your foundation right.

Here’s what I mean by foundation…

  • Clarity on the problem you solve or transformation you offer.
  • Understanding who you’re selling to, your ideal client.
  • Defining your unique approach and why people should hire you.
  • A marketing message your target audience can relate to.
  • A smart business model and pricing strategy.
  • Self clarity – what you stand for and want to be known for.

FUN FACT
I’ve been to 50 countries and counting, and recently started an Instagram channel to share some of my travels.

    HOW I ENDED UP HERE

    My husband and I spent a year backpacking around the world in 2014. One of the many places we visited was Amsterdam. I remember saying to him, “This is such a cool city, I could see us living here.” Once we were back, he saw a great job post on Reddit, applied for it on a whim, and got it. (ha!) So we had a big decision to make. But by then we knew we could adapt to a different country. And Amsterdam was a perfect fit.

      Specializing in “YES!” and “AHA!” moments.

      If there’s one thing that lights me up more than anything, it’s clarity.

      I love getting to know my clients, sharing knowledge and working in a way that leads to moments of clarity where you think, “Yes! That’s it. That’s exactly what I’m all about. That’s exactly the impact I want to have and how I want to run my business.”

        WHY WORK WITH ME

        I can organize your thoughts and ideas into a clear vision.
        My approach is personal and thoughtful. I have a knack for drawing out the answers and insight you need to build a business that’s aligned with your purpose, passion and skills. Then I give you practical steps to make it happen.

        I understand your struggles and know how to overcome them.
        I’m creative and multi-passionate, so I find it hard to be focused in my business. I’m an introvert and a perfectionist, so I struggle to put myself “out there.” I’m an expat and ex-employee, so I know what it’s like to start over and experience burnout.

        I genuinely care about my clients.
        Entrepreneurship can be a lonely road, but working with me is like bringing on a collaborative business partner. I take the time to get to know you and your niche. I’m rooting for you and can’t wait to see you succeed.

        Let’s make that business dream a reality.
