Ep. 27: 3 Marketing & Selling Essentials
4 days ago
4 days ago
I've been helping Joyful Selling members simplify the actions they take in their online marketing and selling by deciding ahead of time what type of content they are going to share regularly and why.
To start with I have offered two very simple definitions for the terms that traditionally a Creative Professional doesn't exactly feel enthralled by: 'marketing' and 'selling'.
Marketing is connecting to build trust.
Selling is serving to create comfort to buy.
Within both categories we focus on 3 essentials to action and I share examples that have come up as I've been running 1-2-1 bonus sessions with members who joined us in December.
Notebook and pen at the ready! This is a very actionable episode.
Enjoy!
Open enrolment is coming...
The Joyful Selling for Creative Professionals Lifetime Program is opening up for new members from 7th March to 13th March 2023.

Ep. 26: 3 Reasons We Feel Overwhelmed and 1 solution
Wednesday Jan 25, 2023
Wednesday Jan 25, 2023
In today's episode I explore 3 common reasons why Creative Professionals are feeling overwhelmed.
They are:
1, Lots of great ideas and not enough time.
2, You think you might not be good enough which triggers comparison.
3, The result you’re working towards isn’t happening quick enough.
I'm pleased to say that the one solution to all three is within your control. I share why it might feel outside of your control right now and what to practically do to empower yourself to ease the burden of overwhelm.

Ep. 25: Creative Fun Selling
Wednesday Jan 18, 2023
Wednesday Jan 18, 2023
I went to Crafty Fox Market in London in December and received the most joyful experience whilst shopping with an independent business called Raising Ravers.
The founder Annie DM'd me yesterday - without knowing I had recorded this episode - to check that Lola loved her jacket when I gave it to her at Christmas.
This level of thoughtful, insightful and connected service is what modern selling is all about.
As you listen to me share the nuggets of information Annie shared with me to make it a no-brainer for me to buy, think what YOUR nuggets are that land with your people.
Enjoy the story!
Join me for a free group coaching session on Friday 27th January at 1pm GMT. I'll be coaching on authentic marketing and creative selling to create your 2023 revenue goal.

Ep 24: Writing the Joyful Selling Playbook
Wednesday Jan 11, 2023
Wednesday Jan 11, 2023
In 2019 I wrote my first self-published book the Indie Roller Handbook and today I share my experience with that as I embark on writing the follow-up.
All the content for the Joyful Selling Playbook has been marinating in my mind throughout 2022 and I'm booked into the Standard Hotel for a week in January to mine my brain and commit words to paper.
I'm super excited to share how I get started with a new project like this and help you transfer over my experience to whatever you might be starting in 2023.
A digital version of the Joyful Selling Playbook will be made available for all current members from 1st March and printed copies can also be purchased by members. If you are joining us in our next open enrolment from 7th to 13th March 2023 then you'll be sent a free copy and we 'll ship worldwide for free. WOOP!

Ep. 23: Sentence of the Year
Wednesday Jan 04, 2023
Wednesday Jan 04, 2023
Ahhh this is such a fun episode to start the new year with!
We all have automatic sentences our brains offer us whilst we're working. Mostly, they'll be designed for self-preservation and rarely useful when it comes to independent business ownership.
Did you know you can choose which sentences you want to think whilst you work?
You can just make them up - like you do when your thoughts become things int he design process.
Then practise them to create your new familiar responses whilst working.
In this episode I walk you through how you can create your success sentences for 2023.
Please share, share, share this episode with all your creative professional peers because this is the work that changes the trajectory of a business and the experience of the human at the centre of it.
I'll be announcing the date of our free group coaching session for January by email SUPER SOON.

Ep. 22: Bold Moves of 2022
Wednesday Dec 28, 2022
Wednesday Dec 28, 2022
A much anticipated episode sharing some 'bold' moves I made this year including closing down my Facebook group and changing my business model from subscription to lifetime program.
Interestingly, these actions in my business haven't felt all that 'bold' to me yet many peers and clients have said this to me. So I walk through how self-coaching has helped me to incrementally work through these changes so they feel very natural and doable rather than big risky leaps.
I very much hope this episode helps you create safety for the business moves you want to make in 2023 and beyond.
If you feel yourself putting off or avoiding making 'big' decisions and you're not in the Joyful Selling for Creative Professionals program then make sure you're on my email list. I'll be offering another free group coaching session at some point in January and you'll want to be there to help you move forward unapologetically.

Ep. 21: Revenue Goal Setting the Simple Way
Thursday Dec 22, 2022
Thursday Dec 22, 2022
In today's episode I'm talking about one of my favourite topics: revenue goal setting.
I share how we do this in the Joyful Selling program, why we do it this way and what might stop you from operating with such clarity in your business.
You're not alone if you find the topic of money overwhelming so let's make sure we discuss this A LOT to normalise it because as long as you're running your creative business you'll be in the business of creating cash. So we might as well make it simple and fun. I promise you it's possible.
If you'd like to ask me any questions about your revenue creation ensure you're on my mailing list because a free group coaching session will go out to the email list in January.

Ep. 20: Joyful Selling Success Panel
Wednesday Dec 07, 2022
Wednesday Dec 07, 2022
This is my favourite episode that I record once every 3 months to catch up with 3 of our Joyful Selling members to chat about the success they've created in their selling.
Today I'm joined by Jennie Sergeant Designs who set out to create £1,000 revenue in her business in November and she closed the month at £1,039. Jennie talks us through how she coached herself through money worries to focus on serving her customers and delivered a successful pre-order.
Nona from Studio Pepita also joins us to share the financial success she has created from selling at in-person markets. When she did her first market she made £100 and when she took part in her most recent market she created £800 worth of sales.
And Michelle from Dora Does talks us through how she created £2,197 in pattern sales in November after setting a revenue goal of £1,500.
The thread that flows through this episode is the practise of celebrating every little win along the way and allow yourself time to sit in the success of creating the revenue you wanted.
We can easily think it was a 'fluke' or 'chance' and worry about not replicating the success when we don't make time to evaluate and celebrate.
Such an inspiring and joyful episode - enjoy!
Joyful Selling for Creative Professionals Lifetime Program is currently enrolling new members until Tuesday 13th December at 6pm.

Either way, listen along today as I walk you through our exact process that helps you create and increase sales in an intentional way that is driven by your own unique creative flair.

I know you’re going to love how we roll in business yet you might feel stuck sometimes or overwhelmed during the implementation. Basically, wrapping your head around failure, difficult emotions and often impatience when the result isn’t quick enough.

I not only teach you how to self-coach - the ultimate in self-empowerment - I am also on hand DAILY as your co-pilot to problem-solve in your inbox.
We create the result of staying in motion to create the sales you want.
It’s really rather joyful.

Ep. 18: The Accidental Business Owner
Wednesday Nov 23, 2022
Wednesday Nov 23, 2022
I want to speak to the portion of our audience who feel like they fell into running their business.
You might have created your first product for yourself, a family member or friend. Perhaps you shared on Facebook or Instagram or someone else did and the immortal words ‘you should sell those’ were uttered.
Perhaps you describe your business as starting organically? It felt so easy at first, make a few things and sell a few things.
Regardless of the results you've gone on to create since, your brain has stayed in the ‘accidental’ mindset. It feels like sales are a fluke and marketing opportunities are a stroke of luck.
In today's episode I help you move through this phase of business so you can start owning your results and thus feel in control of creating revenue.
If you want to feel organised rather than overwhelmed then it's time to let go of the accidental mindset.
Enjoy!

Ep. 17: Coaching Ella to Improve Selling Skills
Wednesday Nov 16, 2022
Wednesday Nov 16, 2022
Our final coaching episode features Joyful selling member Ella from Luna Lotus today.
Ella's coaching question is: How do I improve my selling skills and become more comfortable with selling?
We uncover that Ella's selling skills are already amazing and her growth area is to not seek comfort when selling. Selling feeling uncomfortable doesn't have to be a problem. When we don't make it a problem we automatically improve our overall comfort levels. Say what?
Don't miss this session. Joyful Selling Playbook at the ready to write down all your notes.
You're invited to my live group coaching session which is exclusive to my email list on Thursday 24th November at 1pm to 2pm GMT.
All you need to do is click the Zoom link at 1pm and it’s just me on screen. You can then raise your hand to be brought on camera for coaching, share your question in the Q&A box or follow along on your own.
There won’t be a recording so we can create a comfortable space for all of those who have not received coaching before.
To receive the Zoom link, sign up to my email list - https://bit.ly/JoyfulSellingTips
The welcome email will include the link to register for the Zoom. All in all it will take about 3 minutes.
See you there!

Ep. 16: Coaching with a Joyful Selling member
Wednesday Nov 09, 2022
Wednesday Nov 09, 2022
In today's episode another Joyful Selling member joins me for a mini coaching session.
Listening to a fellow creative business owner being coached helps you see two things:
1, You're not alone with the challenges you face, the majority are universal to our industry and being a human.
2, You can apply the coaching offered to your particular situation right now.
Coaching is simply problem solving.
Coaching helps you stay in motion rather than get stuck, put off or feel bogged down.
Our guest has opted to remain anonymous so we are using a made up name.
We are coaching today on a firmly held belief she has that she doesn't know how to sell.
If you'd like to come along to a group coaching session to see what it's like join my mailing list and receive an invitation to our next free session just for the email list.
