1 Assess your skills and passions

The first step to finding your niche is to assess your skills and passions. What are you good at, what do you enjoy doing, and what problems can you solve for your clients? Think about your previous experiences, education, training, certifications, and feedback. Also, consider your personal interests, hobbies, values, and goals. Write down a list of your strengths and passions, and look for patterns or themes that emerge.

Above skills and passions, finding (through trial and error) those things in which you not only have great confidence but also the things in which you find people stopping and listening to you with interest and excitement. You'd be surprised at how your natural abilities come across with ease and confidence.

2 Research your market and competition

The second step to finding your niche is to research your market and competition. Who are your potential clients, what are their needs, challenges, goals, and preferences? How can you help them achieve their desired outcomes or overcome their pain points? What are the current trends, opportunities, and gaps in the market? Who are your direct and indirect competitors, what are their strengths and weaknesses, and how do you compare to them? Use online tools, surveys, interviews, social media, and industry reports to gather relevant data and insights.

3 Validate your niche idea

The third step to finding your niche is to validate your niche idea. This means testing your assumptions and hypotheses about your niche, and getting feedback from your target audience and peers. You can use various methods to validate your niche idea, such as creating a landing page, offering a free consultation, launching a minimum viable product (MVP), or running a pilot project. The goal is to measure the demand, interest, and satisfaction of your potential clients, and to refine your niche based on the results.

In reality, you already know whether your niche is validated or not before hanging your "open for business" sign in your virtual window. Strategy is only strategy if it is transformative and gets people to look at problems in different ways.

4 Define your value proposition and brand identity

The fourth step to finding your niche is to define your value proposition and brand identity. Your value proposition is a clear and concise statement that summarizes what you do, who you do it for, and how you do it differently or better than your competitors. Your brand identity is the visual and verbal representation of your value proposition, such as your name, logo, slogan, colors, fonts, images, tone, and style. Your value proposition and brand identity should communicate your niche clearly and consistently, and resonate with your target audience.

Start wide, go narrow. The path to self-employed strategy brilliance isn't a crowded highway; it's a niche alley. Dive deep, specialize, and be the go-to strategist in a specific domain. It's not about appealing to all; it's about dominating one.

Consistency above all. Keep on showing, regardless, in so doing, you build trust of many watching you from afar, and not too long they will reach out with a good offer. Having your brand, defining your value proposition and all can make more meaning when you don't give up showing up.
