I've sat at tables with incredibly brilliant entrepreneurs, great at what they do but still feeling completely stuck. In this episode, Lauren unpacks the difference between being good at your craft and actually being known for it, and why that gap is what's keeping so many faith-led service providers from the growth they're working so hard for. If you've built your business mostly through referrals, you'll definitely want to tune in and learn why that model has a ceiling. In this episode: Why referrals alone will never give you a stable, scalable business The real difference between visibility and self-promotion Why marketing done right is about connection, not selling How to start showing up strategically without entering the content rat race Three reflection questions to help you reframe how you think about visibility in your business I pray this episode blesses you!    Follow Lauren on Instagram
