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...

Can we stop pretending like our frameworks are the final word?We need to do a better job of prioritizing the person over the process.We need to leave room for the possibility that our method miiiight not work for certain brains, cultures, personalities, circumstances.That truth doesn't necessarily mean anything about your method, btw.It's just that you can't possibly have one method that works for everyone and every situation. Yet so many of us pretend otherwise. Hey, I used to do that, too....

I once taught dance in a city full of dance studios—but still managed to fill my classes from day one. 💃🏽 The only marketing I did was on IG when I had around 800 followers.Other local dance teachers were locally and IG famous.The only training I had was dancing in my bedroom. 🤭Other dance teachers were WAY more skilled and highly trained.I pulled that off cuz I offered something different: dance classes for ordinary people.

The problem with experts is they think they're supposed to know everything. Not because they necessarily have huge egos.I think it's more so because of the programming. Somewhere along the way, we decided that “expert” meant: -always certain -always confident -always having the answer Because if you, the expert, don't know...Won’t people lose trust in you?I believe the opposite is true, actually. I'm writing this email after an initial chiro appointment. Chiro Doc: "Most people with frozen...
