Business Tip for Culture Makers: Hire Them When They’re Hungry. Hire Them on The Way Up.
Income flow or lack thereof doesn’t tell me how evolved or talented someone is. We need to hire our emerging artists, activists and entrepreneurs.
#tbt Toes in the Sand but NO PEDI. Also, The Beauty Myth then and now.
The Female Lifestyle Empowerment Brand is the new beauty myth. It’s a movement that stokes female insecurity and shame and then pretends to ameliorate it.
A Quick Note About Ambition and Women
Women are the only ones shamed for being ambitious, and screw that. Ambition can be trained to serve your self-actualization and your great work.
Why I’m Writing About The Female Lifestyle Empowerment Brand
In the 90s, The Beauty Myth helped us deconstruct magazine images to decrease their destructive power. Now we need discernment tools for online media.
Five Egregious Internet Marketing No-Nos
Refuse to perpetuate or replicate in your marketing + sales funnels the authoritarian, predatory and abusive dynamics you want to disrupt in the world.
Feminism, Femininity and The Swinging Pendulum. A Question for You.
“The feminist pendulum has swung too far” is a common argument but it is an error to lay the devaluation of the feminine at feminism’s door.
The Price of Women’s Time, Because ‘Time is a Feminist Issue’
I have zero desire to continue cosigning inequitable systems or unprotested problems with my unconscious contributions and my uncompensated time.
Not Enough Compensation in the World
Empowerment is when we are in community with each other and working collectively. Because there’s not enough compensation in the world for anything less.
The Female Lifestyle Empowerment Brand. An introduction.
The Female Lifestyle Empowerment Brand is the modern incarnation of what Betty Friedan called The Feminine Mystique and Naomi Wolf called The Beauty Myth.
Women, Work, Creativity, Leisure and Time. Because Time is a Feminist Issue.
It isn’t that women are refusing to do leisure right. It’s that we’re part of a system that requires our labour to make the leisure of others possible.
There are 3 potent, money-making content shifts that can take you from posting for the sake of posting to posting to SELL...
....because there’s a precise framework built into posts that actually convert (and most of entrepreneurs are not using it).
This protocol is what I teach in my Social Money & Name It Money trainings AND in my high-proximity spaces, and it’s the reasons my clients go from spinning out on social media & spending months courting leads who are on the fence, to seeing their clients sign up on the spot from the power of one precisely designed post.
And when your post on social media actually make you money day in and day out, it’s a lot harder to hate it. (10/10 recommend). DM me for details.

Hating social media is NOT the problem.
Pseudo-selling IS.
RELATED: My kid was pushing the vacuum back & forth but the floor wasn`t getting cleaner.
I call that “pseudo-vacuuming”…
which is what happens when you don’t correct a process that isn`t working (like, say, stopping to empty the filter), which makes it seem like the stupid vacuum is broken and I’m the pickiest mother ever, GAWD…
I digress.
I used to do the same thing in my business: PSEUDO-SELLING.
In other words, I was posting A LOT on social media without increasing sales, so then I posted even more, hoping that volume was the trick…
But pseudo-selling was the real culprit, and it’s the reason you’re:
🚩Giving away your best ideas on social media & endlessly teaching free webinars hoping it will generate sales (but it doesn`t)
🚩Pouring massive energy into launches that do initially do well but then decline
🚩Wasting MONTHS throwing spaghetti-messages at the wall, hoping something will stick, instead of knowing precisely what to say to get clients to sign up on the spot
Here are the 3 ESSENTIAL content corrections that fix this, fast:
✅️Figure out what your client actually wants to buy. Hand to god, 99% of entrepreneurs struggling with sales don’t know what their clients actually want to buy, IN THE CLIENT’S WORDS. (Don`t feel bad, it`s universal). That’s why I developed the Speak Client So You Get Clients System: so you can uncover what your client actually wants to buy and then successfully SELL IT TO THEM
✅️Use the *The Systematize It Wordbank & Protocol* to translate the names of every single tool you teach into ones that that get your clients throwing their credit cards at you because these are EXACTLY the solutions they’re looking for
✅️Template your success by building your irresistible new names & unmissable client language into reusable blocks of sales copy that convert readers into buyers & offers into REVENUE
That’s the work I do in both The Name It Money Framework & Social Money and it’s the reason my clients stop pseudo-selling and start generating non-stop sales without being tethered to their laptops, hating social media, or living on Instagram 24/7. DM me for info

You don’t have a messaging problem.
The problem is that you don’t know WHY your clients buy.
(And you don’t have to feel bad because this is normal, routine & totally fixable, fast.)
Almost everyone who comes to me thinking they have a messaging problem usually isn`t clear what their clients want...
...and it’s a recipe for chronically working too hard for not enough sales.
If you don’t know what your clients want to buy, all the clever messaging in the world won’t get them signing up.
Not knowing what & why your clients will buy is the reason you’re still…
🥺Turning your best ideas & tools into free content on social media, hoping it will generate sales (but it actually undermines them because why buy the cow if the milk is free?)
🥺Wasting precious time & energy teaching free offers that people learn so much from that they do NOT need to buy the actual program you’re selling
🥺Constantly inventing new offers to fill revenue gaps
🥺Spending MONTHS nurturing leads instead of having clients sign up on the spot
Here’s how you change this, fast:
💸 Forensically uncover what your client actually wants to buy and then develop precise, irresistible, client-centred language THAT SELLS using the *Name it Money Framework* that transforms your readers into buyers and your offers into REVENUE almost instantly (watch your DMs blow up)
💸 Systematically translate every step & tool you teach into hell-yes let-me-buy-it-right-now names using the *The Systematize It Wordbank & Protocol* that rapidly generates outcome-signalling names that do the selling for you— so that your client knows, at every step, that you’ve got precisely what they want (because you do!)
💸 Instead of using broken sales systems that rely on you teaching your best work for free (that’s a recipe for over-giving, over-teaching and burnout and no thank you, no more), use *The Anti-Hustle What-Not-How Lens* to build your new outcome-signalling names into re-useable blocks of sales copy that actually sell without giving away any of your best how-to’s, EVER
This is the work I do in Name It Money & it`s the reason my clients stop over-teaching for free and start EARNING, ASAP. DM me for deets

It’s not the size of your social following.
It’s not whether or not you can afford a star coach.
It’s not differentiation or tech.
It’s not motivation; mindset; leadership; message or personal charisma.
It`s a business gaps problem, and that`s the reason your sales aren`t where you want to be AND the reason feel like you`re throwing spaghetti at the wall (instead of knowing exactly what WILL stick!), and having to scramble and send more emails, run more launches, invent more new offers and develop an exhausting, toxic relationship with Instagram because you`ve got to be there 24/7...just to hit your basic revenue goals.
So the problem most pre-momentum businesses are encountering isn’t a lack of founder talent, quality of work, being ‘bad at marketing’…
It’s simply that some of the pieces are missing AND they’re not working together, on-plan and by design.
The reason for hustle is business gaps. When a critical system is missing then you have to fill in the gaps with your never-ending effort.
Here`s how you shift this:
There are 6 core business competencies that EVERY business must have in place to financially flourish. Businesses that aren’t yet where their owners want them to be usually only have 1 or 2 of these competencies in place. You deserve all 6...and when you`ve got them, you get traction. Momentum. More sales & meeting or even exceeding your STRETCH revenue goals almost automatically, WITHOUT all the frantic effort. (Finally!)
This is the work Danielle Cohen and I do in our high-proximity space, The Bespoke Mastermind starting Sept 4. We only have 3 spots still available. DM me for details.
