from OfferMojo™ Show | Online Marketing Strategies for Coaching and Expert Led Businesses · host Lori Young | Offer Strategist and Holistic Business Coach

You've heard it a hundred times. Probably more. And every single time, something inside you cringes a little."Just niche down."In this solo episode, I'm talking about why that advice falls short for experts with layered backgrounds, and what to do instead. Because after years of working with coaches, consultants, and subject matter experts, what I've found is that the goal was never to niche down. It was to position up.I share my own story of being a marketing generalist for over seven years, the moment I realized I had to reposition or risk going out of business, and what it actually looked like to choose a lane without throwing away everything else I'd built.You'll learn:→ Why "niche down" is targeting advice, not positioning advice (and why that distinction matters for experts with layered experience)→ What the research says about specialists vs. generalists in 2025 and 2026 (including a stat that stopped me in my tracks)→ The two-step Positioning Up Framework: how to find your Core Transformation and map your Expertise Layer→ Real examples of experts who led with one clear lane while keeping everything else as their differentiator→ What changes in your business when your positioning gets specific: sales conversations, referrals, content, and ratesIf you're ready to stop trying to fit your layered expertise into a box and start leading with the one thing that makes everything else make sense, press play.Ready to turn your core transformation and expertise into positioning that actually converts?
