Psst I made you something


Heyo,

If the last 90 days of marketing felt scattered and inconsistent, I've got something for you that will help the next 90 feel a lot more grounded and doable. It's Aligned & Adaptable, a quarterly marketing planner I built in Notion. And it's free at the moment.

Most of us fall short in following our marketing plans because we don't account for these 4 factors:

1) Days when we’re at low-capacity
If you’re a human with a period, a family, chronic health challenges, trauma brain, an inconsistent schedule…etc etc. your capacity goes up and down from one day to the next.

And we often create plans from a place of "I CAN DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING!!!" So we overestimate our bandwidth. And then boom, within the first week, we have a low energy day aaaand the plan goes on pause.


2) Our actual business goals
We need to know what we’re working towards so that our marketing moves support our goals. Otherwise, we’ll fall into the trap of doing a whole lot for no good reason and feeling pretty damn sour about it.


3) The marketing math
We don’t need to do any complicated calculations. But working back from revenue goal to leads needed can make a significant difference in how/where/how often you do the marketing. It gives you the clarity you need to create the plan and it paints a more realistic picture of the amount of work needed to achieve your goals (so you’re more likely to stick to the plan).


4) Our boundaries
If we don’t get clear on what we’re NOT willing to do to get to where we want to go, we end up burnt out and blaming our ambition when we actually just needed to define our boundaries.

My Aligned & Adaptable Quarterly Marketing Planner accounts for all of the above. It even does the marketing math for you. ✨

BTW the planner was previously only for workshop attendees who paid $147-$197. I do plan on putting a price tag on it at some point but it's $0 right now soooo...

“What does getting good at sales actually look like?” 🤔Tarzan Kay recently hosted a Q&A panel as part of the Girl Boss Apology Tour.And that was one of the (brilliant) questions that was submitted by an attendee. The question reminded me of two truths:1) I've always been good at sales—including when I followed traditional sales advice.2) I despise traditional sales advice.Back when I sold garbage removal at a premium price, I was one of the top performing sales peeps on my team.Their sales...

Last week, a LinkedIn connection, Breauna Dorelus, asked the solopreneurs in her network what they do to make running a one-person show easier.GREAT question.I'm a one-person show who is far from having it all figured out. But I left a comment sharing a few things that have made a big difference for me. My response seemed to land well so I thought I'd share it with you, too (these will be helpful even if you aren't solo):"Having a coach or even a peer as a sounding board has helped a tonnn. I...
