In January I launched a membership called The Sales Copy Club...and then created it in one day. In this episode I'm sharing why I created the membership, how it went, what I've learned, and exactly what I'm changing going into Q2 of 2024.

I'm hosting a live training called "Outline Your Sales Page" on Thursday, January 18. Register here: https://rulebreakersclub.lpages.co/spk-webinar-live-registration-page/ 

The reason why you get writer's block is because you don't have a process! Listen to this 10-minute tip episode to learn the 7-step writing process I've been using for more than 15 years!

2023 did not go as planned– to a comical degree.

To be honest, I’m still processing it. I’d love to say that I have some big, grand lesson to share, but I’m not sure I’m at the end of this chapter yet (though I sense I am). 

I don’t mean to be cryptic, and I promise to share more details, but the shift I have experienced is hard to describe. It feels like my identity has changed at a deep level affecting every area of my life in ways I never expected.

I spent 2023 experimenting. I knocked things down. I made a mess. I canceled what was supposed to be our biggest launch ever right in the middle of it. I launched an e-commerce site. As I’ve said many times, this year I was the Goldilocks of business models.

It was humbling. Oof. In the best possible way. And not just in business.

On this week's episode, I am sharing my absolute #1 copywriting tip for coming up with language that connects on a VISCERAL level with your target audience.

We are talking about the psychological phenomenon called the Curse of Knowledge that is preventing you from connecting with your ideal clients on a deeply, emotional, visceral level!  Unless you step outside of your point of view, your marketing messaging is going to come form your  point of view. To step outside of your point of view requires empathy. 

In today's episode, we're specifically covering

• The Curse of Knowledge
• What empathy actually is
• How to connect to audiences you don't relate to
• The Empathy Journal
• Putting yourself in the shoes of your ideal client

Goal setting is a hot topic this time of year! I love planning and it has been a part of my business for the last 10 years. But traditional planning methods frustrate me. There is a lot I hate about the goal setting we're "supposed" to do in our businesses.

Setting giant, wild (and sometimes unrealistic) goals is an exciting exercise for our brains. I call these Unicorn Goals; I love visualizing what it looks like to smash these insane goals. However, I use Unicorn Goals to fuel my creativity and excitement about my business. They are not set-in-stone markers of my success.  

Many business owners and entrepreneurs make the mistake of thinking their Unicorn Goals are the same as their realistic goals. It's important to have both magical and realistic goals as you plan out the next year of your business.

Dive into this episode where I share why traditional planning doesn't work for me (and why it might not be working for you!), as well as my Anti-Planning strategy that you can use for your business going into 2022! 

In today's episode, we're specifically covering:

• Why I dislike traditional planning and goal setting
• The problem with setting a goal without making a plan
• Toxic positivity in planning
• The difference between realistic goals and unicorn goals
• The breakdown of where your revenue is going to come from
• How to calculate your revenue numbers
• How to hit your targets
• Why you need to refine your marketing and sales process
