Something different this week -you're getting  two opinion pieces from me.
Today's topic - what is appropriate to share for free and what would you hold back inside of your paid services. In a world where you always here "give more value" how much is too much and when do you cross a line into giving away your best kept secrets?

Trying out something new this week, I uploaded nine FAQ's to my phone, shuffled them and then read them out blind and answered them on the spot (picture in the style of celebrities reading out mean tweets, but a lot less mean girl vibes.)

This week I've gone back to the coaching archives and decided to share (with permission) snippets from an anonymous frameworker's 90 minute zoom session.  This wasn't all we discussed in her mentor session, however it felt like a hugely beneficial part that could really help others feeling pressure to post and who just need a striped back and simple strategy to approach consistency on Instagram,  

This mentor session included a pretty universal brand strategy for intentional marketing. 

There are a few little glitches where I've removed names and brands for anonymity but I'm sure you can forgive those for a real fly on the wall experience with coaching. 

If you want your own 1;1 session to work on a strategy for your own business get in touch anytime on [email protected]

This week I’ve gone agony aunt style and unpacked some of the questions I get asked the most. These questions usually always start with ‘this is probably a stupid question but…” and yet they are not silly questions - especially while you’re working with hypothetical clients and trying to nut out what documents you need and what you offer etc. 

Let’s unpack 

•  Investment guide versus welcome guide - what’s the difference anyway? 
•  What is the difference between a Mood board. Versus concept boards
• What is the deal with trade discounts? How do I pass them on to the client? What to do when you client ghosts you at time of full payment?
• How do I handle criticism without taking it personally?
• How do I say 'no' to a project or client?
• How Do I Deal With 'Design by Committee'?

Don’t forget to get on the waitlist for the framework and let’s crush 2024
