Identifying Your 1% Authority
Thu Feb 05 2026
You don’t need to have the most experience to be seen as an authority. You only need to be 1 percent ahead of your ideal client!
Most people get mixed up with who they’re actually supposed to be speaking to in their content and end up feeling like they’re not good enough, simply because they’ve been trying to impress their competitors and not their ideal client.
Nadine breaks down what authority really means in business and why so many women underestimate the power they already have.
She introduces the concept of the ‘1 percent authority’ and explains why being slightly ahead of your ideal client is EXACTLY what makes them choose you.
