Caroline Thompson Notable Quotes
“Once you come out of your certification program or you’re just starting your business, the last thing you want to do is just start throwing money at ads or purchasing all of these tools for advertising. Creating content is a free way for you to promote yourself.”
– Caroline Thompson
“Another thing I tell people is nine times out of ten, your ideal client is you, but like a year ago, or six months ago, or two years ago. Because it’s easy for us to get in that mindset of, ‘Okay, this is where I was before, and this is how I overcame it.’”
– Caroline Thompson
“The more you hone your craft and the more people you work with, the more confident you become. It’s definitely not something that comes naturally to anyone, confidence is the last thing that shows up, I can promise you that.”
– Caroline Thompson
