Choosing the right ideal client for your business

Did you know that defining your ideal client isn’t just a foundational piece of marketing strategy? It’s actually an energetic decision that shapes your content, your energy and often your entire business experience. 

In this episode of The Powerful Content Podcast, Mel Daniels takes you beyond the usual demographics and surface-level details to explore a more intuitive, aligned way of choosing who you work with. She shares three simple but powerful questions that will help you uncover the people who light you up, inspire your creativity, and make your business feel more fulfilling. 

This isn’t about ticking boxes or building a ‘perfect’ avatar. It’s about creating space for clients who energise you, so your content flows more easily and your business feels lighter. 

Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode: 

• The deeper reason why defining your ideal client is so important (and it’s not just marketing) 

• Why traditional avatar exercises often miss the mark for heart-led entrepreneurs 

• Three powerful questions to guide you towards clients who feel aligned and energising 

• Simple reflection prompts to bring clarity and confidence to your ideal client choice 

• How to use The Unboring Ideal Client Avatar workbook to take action right away
