3.5 — The Problem Isn’t Narrowing — It’s Not Being Understood
People keep repeating this outdated mantra:
“You need to shrink. Be more narrow.”
But small business owners don’t need to shrink —
they need to be understood.
Niches don’t convert because they’re small.
Niches convert because they’re recognisable.
Recognition is the currency of trust online.
If someone recognises their:
- world
- language
- internal patterns
- culture
- story
- rhythm
- experiences
…inside your words, you don’t need to shrink —
they’ll walk into the niche themselves.
The problem isn’t size.
It’s clarity.
The problem isn’t narrowing.
It’s identity match.
Once someone feels:
“This person gets my exact world,”
you don’t need to niche harder —
you need to express more truth.
