You don’t need thousands of followers or years of experience to be taken seriously by big brands. You need to back yourself confidently and know what makes you unique.

Nadine is joined today by Anna, UGC expert, business coach and founder of A Plus Socials, to dismantle the myth that you need external validation before stepping into authority.

In this episode, Anna shares how to build a personal brand without social proof, negotiate higher rates with confidence, overcome self doubt and turn your so called flaws into assets.

Anna shares how she built a profitable UGC business working with over 800 brands including L’Oréal, TikTok, Microsoft, Maybelline and Fiverr, and how she now helps women build sustainable creator businesses without burnout.

You say you want to be known for your work… but are you actually ready for what that level of reputation requires?

Nadine is chatting today about what it really means to build a reputation that speaks for itself in business. The kind where your name becomes associated with a specific result, a feeling, a standard.

But she’s not just talking about the good side of building this kind of reputation. She’s saying it how it is and speaking about how, when your authority grows, so does the pressure.

Nadine discusses the emotional and psychological shift required to move from being liked to being respected and breaks down why higher level clients do not want more access to you. They want clarity, confidence and direction.

You don’t need to have the most experience to be seen as an authority. You only need to be 1 percent ahead of your ideal client!

Most people get mixed up with who they’re actually supposed to be speaking to in their content and end up feeling like they’re not good enough, simply because they’ve been trying to impress their competitors and not their ideal client.

Nadine breaks down what authority really means in business and why so many women underestimate the power they already have.

She introduces the concept of the ‘1 percent authority’ and explains why being slightly ahead of your ideal client is EXACTLY what makes them choose you.
