OH EM GEEE IT`S HERE!

It`s been a long time coming. This is my BIGGEST THING since the Big Girl Knickers bootcamp and dare I say....IT`S BETTER than BGK. *Gasp*

I am so excited for this. I know it`s what you need to help you get out of your own way, making money and growing your business.

You can find out ALL about it at www.mymarketingbootcamp.com

This is SO good.

Love, Claire xx

If you don`t know where you`re going with your business, how are you going to get there?

If you don`t know what success looks like, how will you know when you achieve it?

How are you going to know if you`re on the right track?

How will you know if you`re moving forwards and getting closer?

Once you figure out what success looks like for you, you can get a plan together to help you hit that goal.

Once you do THAT, success is nearly inevitable.

Love, Claire xx

PS: you can get my help to work out YOUR version of success AND get a plan together, in my MARKETING BOOTCAMP! Come on over!

Reasons you might not be marketing your business:

- You`re too busy
- You don`t know how
- You don`t think your business is good enough
- You don`t think you are good enough
- You feel overwhelmed
- You don`t know where to start
- You are worried about judgement
- You are scared of criticism
- You don`t want to offend or upset anyone
- You don`t know if your prices are right
- Someone said something horrible to you
- You`re scared of rejection or failure

The thing is, if you`re not marketing your business then nobody will know about it; you won`t show up in Google searches for what you sell and you won`t make money.

Businesses exist to make money. If you`re not making money because you`re not marketing then you`re not running a business, you have an expensive hobby.

If you start marketing and keep marketing, even if you don`t think it`s working, it`s working.

The more visible you are, the more people know about you. The more people know about you, the more likely they are to buy from you when they are ready (and refer you to others).

None of this will happen if you don`t market your business. Start today.

My amazing extroverts, I love you but I couldn’t be you. 😆😆😆 Anyone else?

Love, Claire xx

I know this is true because I see it in action every day. I call these people my lovely lurkers 😆. They see my posts, they take it all in, but they hardly ever say anything or engage.

Then, one day, out of the blue I’ll get a message or an email, a testimonial or a purchase from my shop and it’s one of my quiet ladies who felt the time was right for them, and decided to act.

You will have people like that too. Just because nobody is talking, doesn’t mean they aren’t watching.

Keep doing your thing, keep marketing, keep being you. You’re awesome 💕

Love, Claire xx

OK Facebook, you can stop it now, thanks. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I know, it’s tricky to keep motivated when you’re running a business, seeing to the kids, working other jobs, trying to keep on top of housework and keep everyone fed and watered, that`s without adding in all the business tasks too 🤯⁠
⁠
One way to help you break that productivity block and kick-start your motivation is the Pick-a-Sticky-Note method – it’s great if you’re prone to procrastinating and overthinking.⁠ ⁠
⁠
Get a pad of sticky notes and write each task on your to-do list on a different sticky note (if you use erasable pens you can reuse your sticky notes many times). Then stick them all on a wall, then pick one. Don’t look at it, just close your eyes and pick one THEN DO IT.⁠
⁠
When you’ve done it, if you feel up to it, pick another one and do it. That way there is no room for overthinking, you just take pot luck and let fate decide.⁠
⁠
No swapping them out either, if this method is going to work you have to take what you get and crack on.⁠
⁠
It’s very effective and when you run out of work time, gather up those that are left until next time you have a spare hour.⁠ ⁠
⁠
I’d love to know if you think this will work for you - let me know in the comments 💕⁠

Love, Claire xx⁠

🎉 You could wait until the New Year to get stuck into growing your business.

👍 Or you could get a head start on everyone else doing that and start NOW.

📮 If you`re in the UK, you could let the postal strikes stop you making money.

💡Or you could think about what you could sell right now despite the strikes.

🎄 You could tell yourself nobody will buy this time of year, that they are all focused on Christmas.

📈 Or you could market your business like you mean it and stop buying into that belief.

🙄 I see so many people saying `oh I`ll wait until the New Year`.

❓ Do you know what happens in the New Year?

😟 We get bombarded with New Year offers and while that`s fine, wouldn`t it be better to sneak in now and sell people what they are waiting for? Not everyone is Christmas shopping. Life goes on!

👛 People are still buying.
✅ You could be taking pre-orders.
✅ You could be creating online products.
✅ You could be selling experiences or VIP days or vouchers.
✅ You just need to be open-minded and think about what your customers need right now and how you can help.

😎 Just like I`m doing here.

🙂 If you`re happy winding down for 2022 that`s cool.

🔥 If you`re ready for more, I have what you need.

💥 Join me in the Dream Business Academy now and let`s grow your business while all around you are slowing down. This is a GREAT time of year to make the magic happen.

💥 Currently the Dream Business Academy is just £99 PER YEAR for access to a treasure trove of amazing classes and courses, a fabulous Facebook group full of tips, advice and business know-how and monthly classes and Q&A calls.

💥 In fact, our December class is this week when I`ll teach you how to grow your business without social media.
Want a head start?

Since 2015 it`s been a rocky road for me. Menopause brain fog crippled my decision making and confidence. It`s only THIS SUMMER that it`s finally gone and I can think again. I really missed being able to think.⁠
⁠
Don`t get me wrong, over the years I had some clear times among the foggy times and I found a couple of coping strategies, which is how I created some of my amazing courses, but this year?⁠
⁠
This year has been hard. My brain fog was the worst it had ever been and I spent days, weeks trying to work around it and failing miserably despite help from my amazing doctor.⁠
⁠
You will have seen me chopping and changing business names and ideas, desperately trying to get clear on what I do. I knew I was doing it and it was my way of trying to find MY WAY. It wasn`t fun. And I got a lot of kickback during it but I couldn`t do anything about it.⁠
⁠
Finally this summer we got an HRT recipe that works for me and I feel reborn - honestly, that sounds dramatic but when you`ve been really struggling for a long time and you can finally trust your brain again it feels like you can start your life over.⁠
⁠
I`m not completely back to the old me. The old me used to love doing her daily podcast. For the new me this is a struggle. But the old me cared too much about what people think. The new me, not so much. It`s all balancing out.⁠
⁠
And although this is personal stuff I wanted to let you know that if you`re feeling like this you are not alone. I also wanted to share that if you`re going through it, it`s not the end of your business.⁠
⁠
You can have a bad couple of years, lose your way, make mistakes, fall out of love with your business and STILL COME BACK MORE POWERFUL THAN EVER.⁠
⁠
Love, Claire xx⁠

PS: Chloe`s teachers got in touch a few months ago and said they are pretty sure she has ADHD. My brain-foggy self did not see it. My clear-headed self was like `oh my goodness, now it all makes sense`. Mum-guilt was huge but Chloe is happy being her super-cool, quirky self and it`s just another stage in this adventure called life!⁠
