Hi, LinkedIn. It's been a minute... 👋 I had a recent experience on a Discovery Call that I wanted to share more about. I was meeting with a potential client for my agency, Running With Strategy, and had a life-changing moment as a business owner... I was discussing all of the possibilities that can be had for an online coaching business. This business is ready to scale, but the owners are admittedly unsure of what direction to head in when it comes to expanding and growing from where they are currently. I was oversharing, of course, in the best way I know possible: Passion. I had ideas quite literally just being shot off in my mind. Whether it was for their social media accounts, website, or even their email list, I felt the call to share with them the potential their business holds for their audience... I paused between ideas and my prospective client looked at me over Zoom and simply stated, "Chloe, you're going to make me cry." . There is something so special about serving others in the marketplace. I feel honored that each and every day, I am able to take what knowledge I have, and what passion I have, and implement it into marketing strategies that businesses have not yet considered... When your passion fuels your fire, you feel unstoppable. I am eternally grateful that I have been blessed with the gift of serving others. Whether it be social media strategy, email list building, or even landing page copy, there is something so unique that we can offer to others. We have the gift that allows businesses to grow... To expand... To build their network... And ultimately, to serve their purpose. Are you serving your purpose when you think of your job? Are you feeling fulfilled when you complete another client project? If not, how can you use your skills, knowledge, and expertise, to change the lives of those around you? #digitalmarketing #socialmediamarketing #smallbusinessowner #agencyowner

10 years ago I stumbled across the world of Network Marketing. I had no idea what it even was at the time. All I did was find a product I loved and told people about it and got paid when they started too. I remember thinking what an ingenious business model as I was always recommending things to people but the difference was I got paid when I did. At the time I was working long hours, had 2 small children aged 2 and 6 (it’s crazy that they were that young). I wasn’t looking for a business, in fact I had reduced my hours at work as I was chasing my tail and struggling with anxiety and had lost my confidence as a Physiotherapist. But when I saw the business model I thought “oh I can do that when the boys are in bed” and so that’s what I did. In the day I was Physio or Mum but at night I stopped watching shit on TV and scrolling on fb and started to build a business. It took discipline but it was 100% worth it as what started as a side hustle to earn a bit of extra income turned into replacing my income which turned into completely changing my life in every single way. I will be forever grateful someone shared network marketing with me and have and will continue to pay that forward as Network marketing was the life line I needed 10 years ago and could be someone else’s too. A few weeks ago I started part 3 of my Network Marketing career as I walked away from a company I loved and still do on to a new adventure. Just a few weeks in and this chapter looks set to be the best one yet as now I enter into this part of my life stronger than ever before, healthier than ever before but with all the lessons learned and experiences gained to pay forward as we grow and expand into the UK Market. The momentum is building and the energy is shifting and will continue to do so as we continue to grow and look for pioneers and UK Founding Members to partner with us. Whether you have been in Network Marketing before or not this business is for everyone. If you are curious I would love to chat to you 😘 In the words of Robert Kiyosaki “Network marketing gives people the opportunity, with very low risk and very low financial commitment, to build their own income-generating asset and acquire great wealth”

I just received an email from my network marketing company that it is my 5 year anniversary. While I have been with network marketing for 7.5 years, 5 years is really time spent fully invested in my business. I did NOT go right to the top. I had shown up with consistency to move my business forward for a long time. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I still have to show up even more than I did before, work harder now than I did to get here, because this business isn’t easy. But I can tell you it is so worth it. It is hard for me still to this day to watch people join and leave, or join and never start. Not because I’m mad, not because it’s a disappointment, but because they don’t see what this can be for themselves. I believe so deeply in everyone that joins me, because I was once you. I doubted myself, I doubted this industry, but people believed in me, showed up for me and showed me what was possible. I am still nowhere near where I want to be in network marketing. The top 2% is great don’t get me wrong, but I want to be the top 1%. Why? I mean money is awesome, but by me going to that place that means that others have gone with me. Other’s going with me means that they now have more options in life because of the income this opportunity can provide. I want that for people. Life is expensive, life will throw things at you that you don’t expected. This economy is rough. Making a decision to change your circumstance or add to the greatness of your circumstance is always a smart decision. Do you have a back up plan? Truly if you were to lose your job or get hit with a massive expense, what is your plan? If you don’t have one I highly recommend checking out network marketing. It is not for everyone, but for those that it is for, your life can change forever. Not to mention I have met the best people and new friends because of this company. I will make the next 5 years something to remember. I can’t wait to help other network marketers flourish!

Can I tell you a secret? There’s a reason why most of the personal branding gurus peddle impressions as a success metric. Meet Bob 👴🏼 Bob wants more clients. He’s only getting 100 impressions on his posts. So he scours the internet until he finds someone that promises to skyrocket his LinkedIn presence and get him 20 hot leads a day. Enter Destiny 🧜🏻♀️ When Destiny writes a post for Bob, the first thing she’ll do is engage with it to give it a boost. This pushes the posts out to HER audience, and Bob’s average views jump from 100 to 6,000 overnight. He also gains 1500 new followers along the way. The graphs are all green. Bob is creaming himself thinking of all the revenue to come, whilst Destiny immediately wraps this initial “growth” up in a case study and starts pushing it as proof of success. But there’s a problem. Bob doesn’t actually sell personal branding. He sells enterprises level software to the CTOs of legal scale-ups. The once small but highly relevant feed he had before has been replaced with cheat sheets, motivational quotes, and AI- generated platitudes from halfway across the world. Fast forward 6 months, and the tsunami of qualified leads has not followed as promised. When Bob questions Destiny about this, she shows him the impression numbers. Bob responds by showing his empty bank account. Destiny realises the jig is up. It’s been a good run of cash, and she’s already managed to use Bob’s stats to snare another poor unsuspecting soul with shallow knowledge and deep pockets. She lives to fight another day. Meanwhile, Bob is 25k down and now has a very large fatberg clogging his pipeline. And so the cycle continues until the end of time. Don’t be like Bob. Always ask to see the metrics that actually matter. If they tell you it’s “impressions”, run away as fast as you can. #PersonalBranding #LinkedIn #Marketing

Pay attention to THIS! Not only will this post Show you the exact steps to follow, But it will also show you secret techniques To create “Brand Awareness” even before the actual LAUNCH! I woke up one day and decided To start “The Marketing Healer”. No! (I planned it for 6 months) And I was wanting to do this since 2023. I won’t say it happened instantly I’ll tell you the TRUTH. I was told that my position at my company was no longer needed and I was on 2 months Notice Period. I had the habit of updating myself Therefore I had marketing related resources But they were scattered. I started reorganizing them. I followed 12 Newsletter's And gathered courage to Actually Plan. I was stuck numerous times. I would: - Read guides, articles on how to start a business - Watch YouTube videos - Note important points in my diary (I’m old school) - Make an excel of steps to follow - Find free tools to use - Learned prompt engineering (I gathered1000+ prompts) Then I started the process: - Decided the Name and registered Domain Name - Bought Hosting services after analyzing 20 providers - Designed my company Logo - Did competitor analysis by using tools - Analyzed 20 websites (Canada) and 20 (India) - Learnt what audience was enjoying reading - Started writing website content - Discussed my website design and started working on it - Did keyword research and shortlisted 50 keywords - Started crafting blogs using relevant keywords - Made my LinkedIn company page - Started posting content and launch offers The result? - Great views on LinkedIn - Have 100+ followers from across globe in 4 weeks - 5 inquiries about the launch offer - Increasing people engagement - Audience is already excited about launch Its essential to focus on planning: ✅It helps you in navigating your end goal within your budget ✅ It makes you feel more confident and less doubtful Plan, Implement and Start. That's the way. P.S.

Why you don't need a fool-proof strategy Can we get real for a second? I know that one of your biggest desires is to have a marketing strategy for your business that just works. It gets you the results you want. You don't have to think about it, you just do it. A strategy that is fool-proof. Works every time. Right? Wouldn't that just make life so much easier? Except... It doesn't work that way. Nothing is 100% fool-proof. Your audience changes, the industry changes, society changes (remember 2020?!) And when we get fixated on the idea that there is one method for you and you won't rest till you find it - you will always be searching. And always feeling disappointed. Because nothing works consistently the way you want it to. Algorithms change, platforms come and go (remember Blab, MySpace, Google Plus?), how we consume information changes and how we buy changes too So instead of trying to find the 'one' method that will be the answer to all your problems and get you all the clients you need, I recommend being open and curious about what would work for you right now. - What do you have passion for? - What are you curious about? - What would you like to try out? Get curious and start from there. Because here's the thing no-one talks about... When you do find a method that works for you - you evolve and change too so what worked for you 2 years ago might not work for you anymore. Keep what works but also keep it fresh for you - that's where the real gold is! Yasmin xxx P.S. Have you registered for my masterclass next week? As someone who had zero knowledge about marketing when I started my business 12 years ago, I am now evangelical about getting out there and sharing your message. That's marketing! And the marketing I love is marketing that draws people towards me. No chasing or hustling. And that's what I'll be teaching in the masterclass - how to attract more clients with magnetic messaging. PLUS in the 3 days before the masterclass, I'll be dropping audio training in our private Telegram channel so you're going to be fully immersed in magnetic messaging for 4 days!

Being able to travel to Mexico and visit family I haven’t seen in 15 years while still running a company is something I never thought I would be able to do. 🥹🇲🇽❤️ I would have to constantly choose between having to book a vacation that wasn’t approved by my 9-5 or stress about not being able to go. Now I choose my own schedule. I wake up and organize my own days. I have freedom of my time & earnings & no longer depend on a 9-5. The thought of waking up 20 years from now and being in the same place was a sickening feeling that I needed to change something. 👉 You can either scroll & waste time like average people…. 🙅🏽♀️ 👉 Or get paid from your own brand and build an empire just being online. 💰 Your content has one job.

Tú voz es tu poder. 🗣️ Create a marketing psychology strategy that allows you to build a life proof business so you can be the best coach you know you are. 👉 Show up & share your story. 👉Create a solid proof lead gen strategy. 👉Learn sales skills like a pro that allow you to sign on clients seamlessly.
