Defining Your Expertise: 3 Questions For Choosing Your Best Branding Path

By Vickie Sullivan, Contributing Editor

Most rainmakers have an embarrassment of riches – talented and energetic, they have many ways to brand their expertise. It's supposed to be easy to choose. Just focus on what you love and on your perceived strengths and the money will follow, right? Not necessarily.

Or worse, experts get seduced by initial success in a niche that pays current fees, only to find out later that these clients will drop out at the first price increase.
