Just because someone has an inspiring origin story doesn’t mean they’re the right mentor for you — especially if you’re a solopreneur or small business owner. Learn why and learn 3 creative alternatives to the traditional mentor model.

You need THEIR story, not yours. Something that lets you into their world. Something that speaks to YOUR audience.
Here's how to do it. cathygoodwin.com/sharestory

What did I learn from building my new website (which is about copywriting and business storytelling for solopreneurs)?
I wrote a blog post about it (and I love getting comments on the new version). The new version feels more like "me." cathygoodwin.com/web-build
