    I’ve been dreaming of this new blog series for a while. I read a LOT of amazing stuff online. Content that really inspires, that pushes boundaries, that leaves me with many an “a-ha” moment (and a ton of blog post ideas). My plan is that each month, I’ll round up the good and the great […]

    Is there a perfect way to structure a blog post? The internet seems to think so. I’m always seeing articles about what your articles should look like. But is there definitively one way to do it? No, of course there isn’t. Nowadays we hear a lot about weaving a story into our posts too – […]

    Why is it that we just can’t say no to a daily challenge? I’m a bugger for them. It’s not even like I just SEE these super-fun challenges on the interwebz and decide to hop on. Oh no. I insist on creating my OWN daily challenges all. the. time. And you know what? I never […]

    Last week I braved London. The moment I heard Elizabeth Gilbert was headed to the UK, I knew I had to be there. I don’t even care that what should have been a 3 hour round trip, ended up being 8. So worth it. I’ve read a few of her books (namely Eat, Pray, Love […]

INSTAGRAM KNOWS ME BEST

Here's what had to shift for me to start doing bus Here's what had to shift for me to start doing business ON PURPOSE

a.k.a. MY way

a.k.a. without deferring to an "expert"

a.k.a. without always seeing myself as less than, and other coaches as people who have it easy

👊I had to let go of working with clients who needed me “on call” 24/7... even though they were paying me well.

👊I had to anchor the belief that NOBODY knows my business the way I do (even my fave biz coach)

👊I had to lean into my Manifestor aura, honouring my rest cycle and using my voice without fear or filter

👊I had to hold the faith in my long-term vision - even when something didn’t seem to be working in the present

👊I had to stop bullshitting about my values. I had to get real and bring the things that matter into my biz model

👊I had to prioritise my own healing at every turn instead of leaving it for after I’d done a certain thing in my business

👊I had to be discerning about my investments and stop choosing things that promised an outcome I was desperate for

👊I had to let go of friends I thought were lifers when I realised how much worse they were making me feel about myself

👊I had to stop compartmentalising my work, health, relationships, emotions, spirituality, etc and realise they’re all connected

And here's the thing: I did it. Despite all my resistance. Despite my ego throwing many a tantrum. Despite all the distracting life stuff I had to deal with.

Which means you can too.

Stop treating Voxer support like a random add-on t Stop treating Voxer support like a random add-on to value-stack your offers and start using it as a tool with the power to *double* your clients’ results. 

I am a big fan of offering Voxer support, but it looks different depending on the “thing”. 

My 1:1 clients get unlimited access. My mastermind and minimind clients get M-F. I do pop-up groups for group programmes, and office hour days as bonuses for different things…

Voxer is not there just for the sake of it. 

It’s not there to make it look like people are getting more personalised attention than they are. 

It’s not for the group to just make friends with each other. 

It’s not the spot for customer service queries.

It’s an intentional space purposefully created to help every single client receive the support they need personally and professionally so that they can follow through with their goals as quickly and easily as possible. None of this happens by accident. 

Here’s what I do 👇

🧡 I set the stage for how my Voxer space should be used and explain exactly what you can come to me with.

🧡 I hold my own boundaries and make it clear that it's not your job to worry about overstepping - you can take up all the space you need.

🧡 I make sure my energy is right before I respond to anything because you deserve my best.

🧡 I balance answering questions honestly with challenging you to think about what's best for YOU.

🧡 I share any extra resources that I think will support you with the specific thing you're working on or through.

🧡 I pay attention. I take notes. I remember what you've said. That way I can come in hot with the tough love and big picture reminders (and you don't have to give me a whole recap every time we talk).

Let me tell you a little secret... The "key" to m Let me tell you a little secret...

The "key" to making sales DAILY is building yourself a hot audience of people who love your content so much that they come to you - they seek you out, they beg for your payment links, they get up in your DMs asking how they can work with you...

And your standard sales scripts and calls-to-action model is not the way to go about it.

I can't believe this even needs saying (again), bu I can't believe this even needs saying (again), but YOU are responsible for your own business.

Being supported by coaches and mentors is *amazing*, but it does not strip you of YOUR ability to choose the next best move for yourself.

Anyone you hire to help you with biz growth should *absolutely* be showing up and delivering what was promised, but ultimately, you are still the boss.

You can't sit there sulking and blaming them for things not going to the plan.

YOU are in charge here. Act accordingly.

There is still PLENTY of time to bring a solid chu There is still PLENTY of time to bring a solid chunk of income into your business before 2023 wraps. 

And you can do so without having to orchestrate a full-on launch, without having to dream up a whole new offer, and without having to sacrifice any quality time with your mulled wine and Hallmark movies.

You can get smart with your sales strategy, and use the 2024 plans you already have as a catalyst to make more sales before the end of the year.

💸 Let people secure a spot in your schedule ahead of time

If you offer any kind of live events or live rounds of your different offers, get clear on the dates that these will be taking place in 2024, and offer your people the opportunity to book their place now. 

You can give them the option to pay in full, or create a payment plan to help stack some of that delicious recurring revenue.

💸Create an exclusive bonus for anyone who purchases a specific offer this month

Choose any offer in your product suite that you’d love to get more clients into (and genuinely feel excited to talk about) and create a simple bonus that they’ll get access to in January. 

Something that would be both easy (for you) and impactful (for them) would be to offer a day of Voxer office hours, during which they can bring any questions relating to the product they’ve purchased.

💸 Create your own Hot Witch Winter (the crazy sale I run every December)

Put together a one-week cash injection with the wildest, most generous deals they’ll have seen all year. You could bundle up some of your favourite self-paced products, pre-sell a selection of live things that will be taking place in 2024, or sell one-off calls that they can book at any time before the end of Q1.

💸 Offer credits

If you’ve had anyone purchase a “one-off” thing in 2023 offer them that investment as a credit off something ongoing. 

Go do your thing!

Some context 👇 I recently announced a brand ne Some context 👇

I recently announced a brand new (paid) masterclass in which I’m going to be sharing EVERY strategy I’ve experimented with in 2023 *and* talk all about everything else that has impacted the growth of my business - both positively and negatively.

This kind of scary because it means I have to put my ego to one side and get really honest (and detailed) about everything that didn't go my way this year.

It's not always comfortable talking about what you did wrong... but it's necessary.

I see it as my responsibility to be honest about this stuff.

As a business coach, I can share all of the exciting ideas and strategies in the world, but it means nothing if I don't also show you how to navigate the ups and downs.

This is not just about getting gossip and seeing how I fucked up.

This is about me showing you how to continue thriving personally and professionally EVEN WHEN nothing seems to working the way you wanted it too.

If nothing else, this masterclass will help you make more informed and intentional decisions about your own business in 2024...

Because you really (really) don't have to make all the same mistakes I did!

Lock in these mindset shifts for a KILLER end to 2 Lock in these mindset shifts for a KILLER end to 2023 👇

⚓ Every day deserves your best.

Your best won’t look or feel the same day-to-day but that’s not the point. Just do your best with the time and energy you have available.

⚓ You don’t have to earn your downtime.

Simply by being born you unlock the right to feel well taken care of. It’s not a privilege you earn through hard work or productivity.

⚓ You don’t owe ANYONE your time and attention.

You have the power to surround yourself with people who genuinely respect you, lift you up, and want you happy. You also have the power to create distance with anyone who does not tick those boxes.

⚓ You are not in competition with other people.

You’re in competition with that bitchy inner voice telling you you’re not enough. You’re in competition with the thoughts and habits that limit your progress. You’re in competition with your tendency to overcomplicate things.

⚓ There is no time of year when people don’t buy.

Everyone is out there paying for stuff every day of the year. Stop telling yourself there’s no point trying to sell your work around the holidays.

⚓ Feeling squirmy about challenging yourself is not a reason to pull back.

Pushing against the edges of your comfort zone doesn’t always feel fun. That doesn’t mean you’re not in alignment. It means you’re stretching yourself, and that’s a good thing!

⚓ Mimicking someone else’s levels of productivity is only going to slow you down.

The smartest thing you can do is start understanding your own energy cycles and use those insights to decide how to spend your time.

⚓Past experiences do not determine future results.

You are not doomed to repeat past mistakes. You are not doomed to keep feeling disappointed by the slack of return on your efforts. You are constantly evolving. So is your business. So are your results.

⚓ You deserve to get paid generously for the amazing work you do.

You don’t have to feel guilty for wanting to be paid well. You can be a good person who creates positive change AND have an overflow of money sitting in your bank account.

Are you making this mistake, too? 👇 Choosing p Are you making this mistake, too? 👇

Choosing polish over personality.

It's understandable. When you start sustaining that kind of generous income month on month, you'll be tempted to invest that back into your business, into things like:
• A more cohesive visual brand
• Pro photo and video shoots
• Outsourcing your content
• Automated sequences and systems

None of these things are bad things. In fact, each and every one of them can support the growth and longevity of your business.

BUT sometimes the obsession with looking "professional", like "a success", like someone who "has their shit together" means you lose the things that got you where you are today...

The personality that makes you so likeable.
The obvious values that make you trustworthy.
The soul that makes people feel safe with you.
The weirdness that makes you relatable.
The intimacy that makes your people feel seen.
A.k.a. the human element 

Without that human element, at best, you'll plateau. But that growth you've been experiencing recently? Gone.

By all means, make your upgrades. Invest in better equipment. Get your better visuals sorted. Outsource the things that don't fall into your zone of genius/interest.

Just don't sacrifice the messy, magical, magnetic side of your business: YOU.

The long-term growth of your business is riding on The long-term growth of your business is riding on way more than your next influx of sales.

By all means, give your attention to selling your work, but don't neglect the other bits.

A business with longevity NEEDS a high standard of service. It NEEDS a product suite with a point of difference. It NEEDS systems to make it whole thing work seamlessly.

Sales are just one element.
