Winging it? In this economy!?


Listen, I'm a profesh winger who loves the freedom that comes with acting on impulse.
But we just don't have the luxury to do that right now.

Here's what I'm noticing in my business and my peer's businesses:
People are pre-occupied by disturbing political events.
Buyers are being extra cautious about who to trust.
Sales cycles are looonger.

Right now, winging it isn’t freedom—it’s risky. It's expensive.

If you've never made a marketing plan before, I suggest you make one.


It doesn't need to be rigid or hustle-heavy. Personally, I refuse to follow plans that are either of those. So I created a system that is built with my business goals in mind and flexes with my bandwidth.

Tomorrow and Tuesday I'm leading Aligned & Adaptable, a Q4 marketing planning workshop where I'll walk you through my system so you can build your own plan with my guidance.

There will be replays if you can't join us live.
Price: $147 or $197 for a week of extra support for personalized Q&A.

Sign up ASAP if you'd like to attend.
Or if you have questions you'd like to address before you buy, just hit 'reply'.


See you there,
Natalia

First, a personal life update: The family emergency situation seems to be settling down a bit but life is far from back to normal.Things are still...a lot.And somewhere in between all of it I'm slowly transitioning back to tending to my business. I know I'm not the only one who's in a season of running a business while facing hard things. I know because many of you shared that with me in response to my last newsletter. And for every one person who shares their story, there's gotta be at least...

Read time: 1 min 30 secLet’s talk about one of the most manipulative sales tactics out there:Identity hijackingIt’s when a business implies: “If you were a [desirable trait] kind of person, you’d buy this right now.”You’ve seen some variation of this on sales pages. You've heard it on webinars.Or you've been confronted with it on a sales call—which is less common cuz most people wouldn't dare do this in an actual conversation.“Top leaders invest in themselves.”"Are you gonna be the one who...
