Having a great solution to a problem or a great service is not enough.

You need to create visibility (drive traffic) for it and this is one of the biggest challenges for solopreneurs.

Marketing (inkl. social media) advice is too often not tailored to solopreneurs and leaves out effective support for the emotional resistances behind the scenes that we all face (there are marketing experts of big companies who struggle marketing their own offers- it’s human and left unnadressed can keep you in research mode) – you need a breakdown of the most effective marketing (and sales) actions you can take today.

Get insights into relevant trends for LinkedIn and how to stay consistent without being non stop online. Lern the biggest risks to avoid and the biggest opportunities at your fingertips.

Wir alle haben eine Vorstellung davon, wie Älterwerden geht. Wir entwickeln solche Bilder bereits früh in unserem
Leben. Und später, wenn wir dann tatsächlich nicht mehr jung sind, entfalten sie ihre Wirkung: Indem sie uns
beflügeln oder auch hemmen.

Im Mutlabor laden wir dich ein, die Autopilot-Erzählung deines Älterwerdens mal auf den Prüfstand zu stellen. Du
wirst entdecken, von welchen Bildern du geleitet wirst. Und die Erfahrung machen, dass du sie verändern kannst.

BOLD Generation ist eine Community von Menschen, die nicht mehr jung und noch nicht alt sind. Wir sehen das »
Midlife» in der Schlüsselrolle, wenn es darum geht, tradierte Altersbilder und Altersstereotypen zu überwinden, in
unseren eigenen Köpfen, in den Unternehmen, in der Gesellschaft.
Denn Impact kennt kein Alter.
