Today I am delighted to introduce an incredible Coach I’ve been working with this year, her name is Kirsten Roldan and she is a powerhouse who has scaled to a $1million business with a small email list, small following, and a lean team of contractors using email to market her business.

She specialises in helping Coaches and Service Providers to create social media optional businesses using email marketing inside Million Dollar Email, which is the program I’m in and has changed the game for me this year.

If you’re on my email list, you’ll know I’m a damn good emailer and not only my emails, but my offers and messaging have only gotten better this year because of what I’ve learnt inside MDE. 

Plus, she is opening the doors for Million Dollar Email for the last time this year on Sunday 29th October and I highly recommend you join, or at the very least join her email list and watch her email mastery play through!

Join the waitlist for MDE here - or just be nosey and see how she emails!

Debbie and I have always spoken our minds, to each other and to our clients and community.

So when we decided to lift the lid on our recent launches, we thought we'd do it in true us style - raw, radically honestly with swearing 🌶️, giggles 😂 and passion ♥️.

There's no point in being honest if we weren't going to be ALL the way honest with you.

🤭 So between cackles, giggles, support and a million Whats App voicenotes, this is us laying bare our launch strategies, what actually happened and how we handle it when it doesn't go to plan. 

Honesty is therapy and this podcast episode is everything you need to hear today as we'll share every single juicy detail and especially the things people don't normally share, plus the things we've learnt and what we're changing and what we're doubling down on.

You will learn and laugh with us - And I'm so proud of us, we truly hope this opens up more realness and honesty that's so needed in our industry.

So put the kettle on, pour that coffee, take that walk and press play.

And when you've listened, tell us what you think and if you'd like more of this from me, Debbie or us.

Come and find me on Instagram.

In this episode, we're diving into a client case study - how Kate went from an 'everything' VA with a large list of services to a clear and slick Creative Agency serving bold creative types with marketing and creative done for you services.

She came to me initially overwhelmed, she wanted consistency in clients, financial stability, and clarity in her messaging.

Kate's story is one many can relate to - trying to be the "everything" provider to attract clients but ending up feeling lost. She felt compelled to accommodate client requests. But this led to her doing too much in areas that no longer brought her joy.

She was hiding her gold under too many services, and doing things that weren’t her joy!

I’ll walk you through the exact steps and framework I took Kate through that led to lightbulbs and clarity and how she was able to rebrand as a Creative Agency. 

The results? Kate felt lighter, clearer, and rekindled her passion for her business. Sometimes, we're too close to our business to see what needs adjustment.

Today I am busting myths and diving into why niche-ing’s not the bad guy and why it’s the BEST thing for your business and your bank account.

I’m talking about…

• Why niche-ing is the secret sauce to turbocharging your business growth.
• The "Avocado Effect": Listen to a little Bali story and learn how specialising is the golden ticket to set you apart and magnetises dream clients towards you, and marketing just feels easier because of it.
• How to simplify to thrive: why niche-ing helps not hinders and lets you do what you love, earn more, and work less.
