Hello, I’m Claire, marketing & business coach and the founder of The Girls Mean Business®.

I live in the north east of England with my husband, teenage daughter and dog in our dream property with 5 acres of land, a river, lots of beautiful trees, a barn for my husband’s business and a cottage for my mum. 

I help business owners make more sales and more money through smarter marketing.

I also help business owners package up their knowledge and turn it into awesome online training products they can sell.

I love what I do and my customers get AMAZING results. 

Just writing some more of my tiny daily marketing tip emails. So far I’ve written about a tiny shop in Leeds, a rat in my greenhouse and the On Your Doorstep magazine that dropped through my door this week.

There are marketing lessons everywhere, if you know where to look! If you want my tiny daily emails you can sign up at the link in my bio.

I know so many business owners who stay stuck for weeks or months because they are overthinking their business.

❓ They can’t decide what product or service to create next.

❓ They can’t decide on pricing.

❓ They don’t know what marketing to do next (or ever).

❓ They question every decision they make, never sure if it’s the right one.

🤯 Which means they don’t actually make a decision, they just go round and round in their head.

😳 And that keeps you stuck, not to mention being completely frustrating.

Does this sound like you?

If so, you are definitely not alone.

The main reason this happens is because you have nobody to ask, who can give you a useful answer based on experience.

It’s lovely when you can ask friends and family, but they can only give you their limited perspective and opinion. It’s not always helpful.

Imagine being able to ask a whole group of business owners who have been there and done that and are happy to help speed you up and stop making the mistakes they made.

Imagine also having access to a business coach who’s been helping business owners like you to get past their blocks and nail their marketing for over 30 years.

That’s what happens in my group.

And if you need to learn how to be better at marketing, how to be more confident, how to get great at pricing, how to be more productive, how to get more referrals and how to make more money in your gorgeous business, my training vault has everything you could ever need.

If you’re sick of second-guessing yourself and overthinking your business decisions, come on over to my Dream Business Academy. You’ll get help, support and motivation. You could even get sales on our weekly promotional threads!

I send a lot of emails during a launch. I mean a LOT. Because I need to.

To get my message out to the people who need to see it, in their busy inbox, in their busy life I need to send lots of emails covering lots of angles.

And during one recent launch I got a reply saying ‘give it a rest with the promotion’.

So I deleted the email and unsubscribed her.

The end.

You’ll never please people who are a bad fit for your business, so don’t bother trying.

Love, Claire xx

Do you wish marketing could be easy?

That someone could show you what to do, and when, and why, so it works? I mean, let’s face it - you’ve tried loads of things that DIDN’T work so it’s about time you got a break, right?

Do you with you had someone to ask, who has been there? A marketing coach AND some fellow business owners who GET IT and can brainstorm ideas and share their experience with you?

And someone to make you do it? To hold you accountable so you grow this business instead of letting busy-ness and excuses and fear stop you?

Well, the great news is it exists and you’re looking at the sign-up page right now. I created the Dream Business Academy for exactly this reason, so you can grow your business as easily as possible. Keep reading!

Because, to make it even easier to get a handle on this marketing stuff, I’ve put a marketing treasure trove together for you so if you’re wondering how something works, or whether it might be right for you there is probably a bite-sized class or resource to help. And if not, you just ask the group and get your answers, fast.

Take a look, I think you will love it 🧡

If your likes and views aren’t turning into subscribers and sales, it’s time to look at your marketing. If you’re happily counting the views on your reels but not getting sales from them NOW, is that really building your business? Or just making your EGO happy?

Focus on growing your email list and making sales. Focus on moving the needle and hitting your targets. That’s how you grow your business.

It’s not just about including the cost of your ingredients or kit (yes, even the stuff you already ‘had in’), it’s about including the cost of your time and then adding a profit.

You shouldn’t end up out of pocket!

Value your time, value your expertise and market to people who value them as much as you. They are out there.

Build your email list. It means you have the contact details of people who have happily and willingly opted in to hear from you.

Not only does this give you another way to get your offers and content in front of potential buyers, it’s much more timely and reliable than social media.

I’ve seen people lose their social media accounts and lose their business as a result. Don’t let that happen to you.

This might sound like just another trite saying but I say it ALL THE TIME to clients and even when I’m working with Helen, my sister and business manager.

In other words, what you focus on is where things happen.

Want to grow your membership? Focus on growing your membership.

Want to get more engagement in your Facebook group? Focus on that.

Want more sales today? Focus on that.

Where it falls down is when you stop focusing on that one thing and start adding more into the mix, multi-tasking, hedging your bets or just getting distracted.

If you want magic to happen in an area of your business, put your focus and attention onto that area for the next 7 days, without getting sidetracked or chasing bright shiny objects or trying to do loads of other things at the same time.

See what happens.

Most of your potential customers haven’t seen your marketing yet. Do more marketing. Then do even more. It takes a lot more marketing than you think to show up and get noticed ❤️
