Here’s a glimpse of what you’re going to learn in this episode…

2023 is just around the corner! It’s that time of the year again…

A time to set new goals, a time to craft next year’s...

Events are back—and there’s nothing that compares to the energy in a room filled with creative, ambitious and like-minded people. It’s my love language in business (and that’s saying a LOT as an introvert!)

When deciding whether or not to attend an event, most people focus on the question “what will I learn?”, but today I want to encourage you to think differently about investing your time, money and energy by attending events. 

I’m sharing with you 5 event attending perspective shifts to calculate your ROI, plus my top 10 pro tips to help you get the most out of them.

When you think of writing copy for your launch or your newsletter, how does it feel? Light and east? Fun? Heavy and total chore?

How how do you feel when you sit down to write promotional emails or *gulp* a sales page?

 Whether or not you signed up to “be a writer” when you started your business, the truth is that clearly communicating your ideas through great copy is a requirement.

Between newsletters, blog posts, video descriptions, captions, lead magnets, promotional emails, sales and check out pages  (those last 3 are the money makers btw)  writing is part of building an online brand.

But what if you don’t consider yourself a great writer? 

What if you struggle to come up with ideas or “get into flow” when you sit down to type? 

And even if you can write great content, what if persuasive selling in copy seems like an unsolvable rubik’s cube? 

Today's episode will help you step into the role of writer and become...

I bet reaching more people and creating a meaningful impact is one of your aspirational goals. 

And as an online business owners, you’re trying to blend marketing strategies designed to reach the masses with a more personable, relationship focused approach.

So the question is: how can you truly connect with people through relationships AND grow at the speed you want? And if people don’t know who you are or what services you offer, how can you expect them to pay attention and to trust you? 

In this week’s episode, we’re looking in the rearview mirror to help you reflect on your visibility efforts and determine a strategy you can implement next year—one that is aligned, more intentional and will create a bigger impact in your business. Whether you've been doing visibility for a while but you haven't gotten much traction or you put it on the backburner, this episode is a must listen.

In this episode, we dig into…

• Building relationships...

When was the last time your confidence took a hit? Maybe a failed launch, or not getting enough views on your Instagram stories? How about unsubscribes from your list? Or a negative review.

Shaky confidence happens to everyone, especially entrepreneurs building businesses. 

Think about it. You’re quite literally building something you’ve never done before, constantly learning new skills,tech and tactics. Of course you’ll question yourself, feel like a fake or consider burning it all down, every now and then.

But what you do in those moments matters. Do you get back up quickly? Do you spiral out? Do you look to others for validation? Or push through reciting affirmations?

Confidence seems “fluffy and intangible, but often shows up in a physical manifestation. On today’s episode we’re talking about how confidence impacts your business, how to recognize the symptoms of lost confidence and what to do when it inevitably shakes.  

Episode...

In today’s episode, I’ll share with you my ridiculously simple strategy that’s going to help you generate more sales. So if you are not quite on track with where you want to be this year or are looking for a cash boost, this episode will be the fire to get you moving.
