Which path is right for your business?


After yesterday's program announcement, I've been having conversations with many of you about your marketing challenges.

What's clear is that while everyone wants more ideal clients, your journeys and immediate needs are different.

Let me share some stories that might feel familiar...

Sarah, a portrait photographer, creates beautiful, emotion-filled images that capture her clients' personalities perfectly. Yet her own marketing feels flat and generic. "I know exactly how to make my clients look and feel amazing," she told me, "but I can't seem to translate that same magic into attracting new clients consistently."

Emma crafts eco-conscious, natural body care products, from moisturising bars to plastic-free deodorants, each one thoughtfully created with organic ingredients. But her marketing doesn't capture the essence of her sustainable approach or the natural benefits that make her products special. Her ideal clients are buying mass-produced alternatives simply because they haven't discovered her yet.

These are just two examples of talented business owners whose work deserves to be seen and valued.

Maybe you relate to their stories.

Or perhaps you're like Claire, a jewellery maker who puts her heart into every piece she creates but struggles to find time for marketing between custom orders and managing her current clients.

The truth is, there's no one-size-fits-all solution to marketing. That's why, based on your feedback, I'm offering two paths forward:

The Complete Marketing Foundations Builder

For those ready for a comprehensive transformation:

• Full marketing foundation across all areas

• 90 days of implementation support

• All bonus features including AI marketing assistant

• Extended support period exclusive to founding members

• NEW BONUS: Lead Generation Package included

• £1,000 (or 3 payments of £400)

NEW: Marketing Foundations Essentials

For those wanting to focus on specific areas:

• Choose two foundation areas that will make the biggest impact in your business

• Option to include Lead Generation Package as one of your choices

• 60 days of implementation support (usually 30 days)

• £500 (or 2 payments of £300)

Both options include:

• Personalised draft deliverables created for you

• Implementation guidance

• Private portal access

• My support throughout the process

Investment Perspective

Think about it this way:

• If you're a portrait photographer, this could be covered by just 2-3 family photoshoots

• For a jewellery maker, perhaps 4-5 piece commissions

• For a natural body care creator, around 8-10 customer orders (considering most customers order multiple products)

• For a website designer, just one small business project

But the real value goes beyond these numbers.

Consider:

• The lifetime value of each new client (repeat orders, seasonal purchases)

• Referrals from happy customers

• Time saved on ineffective marketing

• Peace of mind from having a clear strategy

More importantly, what's the cost of continuing with marketing that doesn't connect?

How many potential clients are choosing your competitors simply because they found them first?

Which path is right for you?

The Complete Foundation might be perfect if:

• You're ready for a comprehensive marketing transformation

• You want all areas of your marketing working together

• You'd benefit from extended support and implementation time

• You're excited about having a complete marketing ecosystem

The Essentials package might be better if:

• You want to focus on specific areas first

• You prefer to build your marketing foundation step by step

• You have clear priorities for immediate improvement

• You're looking for a more focused starting point

Remember, there's no wrong choice.

Both paths lead to better client attraction - it's about choosing what feels right for your business right now.

Why am I offering both options?

Simple: Your success matters more than fitting into a prescribed package. Some businesses are ready to transform everything at once. Others prefer to focus on key areas first.

Both approaches can work brilliantly - it's about what's right for you.

What matters is taking that first step toward marketing that truly connects with your ideal clients.

Last Tuesday, I sat looking at my screen, cup of tea going cold. The blog post was written, and the featured image was selected, yet I couldn't bring myself to hit publish. Perhaps you know this feeling? That moment when everything is prepared, but something holds you back from taking the final step. It's quite normal, this hesitation. What I've learned, though, is that waiting for confidence rarely works. Action tends to come first. Let me share what's worked for me. A Practical Approach I...

The words hit me out of the blue. "It's hard because it feels like it's a temporary fix." I came across these words in an email from Shawn Twing, recounting his conversation with Copy Chief founder Kevin Rogers. They've been living rent-free in my mind ever since. Because they capture exactly what many of us are feeling right now, particularly about AI and the rapidly changing business landscape. Think about it. When was the last time you felt completely certain about your next business move?...

The hidden wisdom of nature offers profound lessons about growing your business sustainably in times of rapid change. Nature recently revealed an extraordinary case study in scaling: the marbled crayfish. This remarkable creature, non-existent mere decades ago, now dominates waterways across continents through an unprecedented ability - perfect self-cloning. Each marbled crayfish creates exact replicas of itself, multiplying endlessly without requiring a mate. At first glance, this appears to...
