073 The 5-Figure Brand Deal I Turned Down — And How It Helped Me Grow a More Aligned, Profitable Business
Manage episode 507855218 series 3573744
Not every opportunity is worth saying yes to - especially when it comes to your professional credibility.
In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a recent brand offer that looked amazing on paper… but didn’t align with my values. I’ll walk you through the exact red flags I spotted, how I handled it, and how you can confidently assess brand partnerships too.
Here’s what we cover:
- The 5 key filters I use to assess brand opportunities
- Why I turned down a five-figure offer (and what happened next)
- Red flags to watch for — especially as a regulated HCP
- How to protect your time, boundaries, and values
- What to say when you're not sure how to say “no”
PS — The best brand opportunities often come through your social media content. And if showing up online feels a bit like your winging it or it's overwhelming, or simply “not working”... then you might be interested in learning about my brand new course — Social Media Made Simple.
