81. The Power of Unique Positioning: How a Copywriter's Unconventional Process Transformed Her Business with Maria John

In this episode of Soulpreneur Scaling Stories, I chat with Maria John, a website copywriter who recently completed a rebrand of her signature offer, "Lights, Copy, Action." Maria shares her journey from being an "accidental entrepreneur" doing work she didn't enjoy to building a business centered around her unique copywriting process that delivers exceptional results for clients.

Maria reveals how her distinctive approach - a 3-6 hour narrative workshop with clients before writing their website copy - initially caused her to feel self-conscious and hesitant to promote it. Over time, she came to recognize this difference as her greatest strength, leading to more aligned clients and remarkable results, including one client who increased prices tenfold after implementing her copy.

This conversation is packed with honest reflections on the entrepreneurial journey, including Maria's experience with burnout, her decision to walk away from profitable but unfulfilling work, and the year-long process of rebuilding her business around work she loves.

Key Points Covered:

✨ Why rebranding an existing offer can dramatically change how you feel about your business
