Hey Jill! I had the same problem as an artist too -- haha, I STILL have the same problem but I find that something that helps me frame my "brand" is to ask people (friends and people who've worked with me) what my "vibe" is. I got this suggestion from a business contact of mine and some of the answers were surprising and some of them were very revealing. This one woman said I was a young person with a wise soul, for example. I was really touched and it made me realize that I listen to people a lot more than most people my age (early twenties). Seems to be a strength that has helped me a lot in my work!

It might not solve ALL your problems but it might be a good start!

Danielle,
These are words of wisdom. I am at place in my life, where I'm trying to determine what my product is.
We could call it the mid-life whatsy-whos-its.
After 20 years of marketing, sales, advertising and being a writer and an artist as well, I find myself looking at my strange bag of tricks and not knowing what to call it.
Where would you recommend someone in my situation search out information so that I could determine my next steps?
Being completely fearless, I will only say no to something hideously boring.
So enjoy your writing!
Thanks,
Jill

Love this! it's a great companion to a post I read earlier on defining your target market from Itty Biz: http://ittybiz.com/identifying-your-target-market-or-why-i-don%E2%80%99t-want-a-monster-in-my-pants/

Thanks for the simple advice!

Again your perspective is inspiring. Now as a girl who would love to know the answer to these questions in her own life...I have much to write, think and ponder.

great questions that will make you go deep to the ground truth. The only challenge is that most of us will not go that deep with ourselves. I'm going to do these questions with someone and I like Erin's idea of doing them with a Mastermind group.

I love it. This is simple it's awesome. I heard about your through Kelly Diels in when I interviewed for a podcast called interviews with up and coming bloggers that I've started. I can see why she spoke so highly of you :)
