Growing Your Business And Getting PR Just By Naming Your Business

As I claim my shed as my studio office for here and Katie James, Inc. projects (and I mean really claim, more so than in before at the start of the pandemic), it occurs to me as I hang my Katie James tin shingle made by the artist Tin Fish in Maine, that this sign is where Tin Shingle got its name.

Back when Sabina and I had to rename our company because a big magazine who is all about entrepreneurship came after us when our name was ‘Preneur (it’s not your fault, @heyfeifer it’s corporate). That cease and disuse letter was the best thing to happen to us, because it made us rethink and commit to what we really offered creators.

Business owners are creators. It’s a more fun word to say sometimes than “business owner.” We realized we are really only about getting the word out. Yes, we taught how to do that in different ways: PR, Website Design and Content, and Social. But that education plus our special sauce of empowerment was what made Tin Shingle what it is.

Sabina and I each went on our own now, and you can see Tin Shingle’s latest video TuneUp about that back in our Member Center on the Tin Shingle website. But that’s the story of how this sign I had made for my fist, core, and namesake business, Katie James, Inc., influenced this, my second business, Tin Shingle. Both my children.

Ok. Carry on! Let’s get some PR and grow your business. Join Tin Shingle today to get into the groove! >

TuneUp: Mindset: On Being Crazy and Embracing Fantasies To Build Success, With Sabina Hitchen

Business creators are called a lot of things. Crazy. Delusional. A Hero. A Visionary.

How do you know when one of those names is right?

When you’re starting something, you’re dreaming big. Your worst fears are banging upside your boat constantly as frothy waves. Eventually, as you grow more confident with the undertaking, those waves of fears turn into lapping ripples gently hitting the boat, reminding the business creator to stay sharp and smart. To prepare for the worst while enjoying the sun and clear skies.

Tin Shingle’s Katie Hellmuth Martin and Press For Success’s Sabina Hitchen for a rare come-back tour on this TuneUp. Katie and Sabina created Tin Shingle together, and eventually flew away in different directions.

One of Sabina’s core strengths is recognizing the power in facing fears, discomfort zones, and supporting others. She believes: “Recognizing scary and stressful situations takes away some of their power.”

Katie and Sabina talked about how business creators must be crazy to make big things. Not everyone has these dreams. Not everyone makes the effort to take action on these visions.

“Everyone thinks it’s crazy until it’s done,” says Sabina.

Learn how to embrace your fantasies, face your fears, and experience what happens on the other side of the cloud of doubt.
