Want to know what my word of the year for 2024 is?
FLIRT!
Lol!
I know. I know.
It lacks substance. Weight. Gravitas.
So how did I get here?
At first, I thought it would be LEAD.
I use the word LEAD as part of my decision making process in my business: Does this opportunity present a chance to lead? Lead a group? Lead my community? Lead others to lead themselves?
It's a very effective guiding principle, but the word itself doesn't spark imagination or joy in my body.
It feels too heavy handed. Prim. Serious.
So I played around with the word MOMENTUM.
January can set us up to feel like we have to start from scratch and recreate the wheel. MOMENTUM, however, is all about building on what we've already created.
It encourages us to start slow.
No rush or hustle.
Just deliberate, confident and hopeful action.
I love MOMENTUM and will use this word as inspiration throughout the year.
But it still didn't spark the way I want to feel.
So how do I want to feel?
I crave lightness. Play, pleasure, laughter. Even whimsy.
For once, to not have to deal, cope, grieve, make do, get over, or pivot.
The word that came to mind was FLIRT!
Flirt with people. With my business. With life.
To me it's about being open. Ready to joke. To find the mystery, delight and quirkiness of being human.
To make space for things I truly delight in: nature, walking, drawing, art, dancing, journaling, yoga, plants, reading, writing and all my glorious friends, clients, and colleagues.
FLIRT.
Ta Da!
My word of the year is FLIRT!
It surprises even me.
Listen.
Life's always going to throw unexpected challenges our way. Many things are simply out of our control. But we can still define what we want, set intentions, and sashay in the direction of our dreams.
Have you chosen a word? A direction? An intention?
Let me know in the comments.
And if you crave more wonder, pleasure and abundance in your life, book a consultation call for coaching here: https://calendly.com/lindadrosdowech/sales-call
I'll help you define what you want, create a strategy, goals, plans, and a daily schedule of habits that leave you room for self expression, self care and self love.
LEAD.
MOMENTUM.
FLIRT.
Happy New Year!

It wasn't a cold after all, it was Covid!
Thank goodness for an online business. I cancelled my clients to recover on the couch.
I was so tired all I could do was watch Friends reruns. The combination of being sick, Christmas time, and Matthew Perry's death, had me crying at any scene even slightly emotional. When Rachel's moves out so Chandler can move in...weep.
Time to get back at it...

I'm going to help you create a simple marketing plan with the 3 Step Marketing Plan Masterclass.
You're going to ask yourself daily:
✅How can I connect with 1 person today?
✅How can I set up 1 networking event this week?
✅How can I have a 1 meaningful conversation on social media today?
Your personal 3 Step Marketing Plan is going to eliminate the confusion about what you should do each day to market your business.
Simple, right?
But it doesn't mean it's easy.
🤨Reaching out to tell a friend about your new business takes a willingness to feel vulnerable and exposed.
😬Attending a networking event takes a willingness to feel awkward and uncomfortable.
😵💫Showing up on social media to continue the conversation takes a willingness to feel doubt and uncertainty.
None of these feelings are easy to feel.
Remember: Everything we want is on the other side of feeling an uncomfortable feeling.
You can do this! Even if it's not easy.

You know what doesn't create clients?
Finding the exact right font to use in your Canva post
What does create clients?
Connecting deeply with people so they know what you do, who you help and why.
Meeting more people so they can become a part of your community and learn from you.
Using social media as a way to continue the conversation with all these people.
When you wear the marketing hat in your business, ask yourself first:
How can I connect with 1 person today?
How can I set up 1 networking event this week?
How can I have a 1 meaningful conversation on social media today?

In the meantime, feel free to DM me to follow up to set a time for a consultation call.
Any other recovering perfectionists out there?
Let me tell you, I was the worst!
When I first started my business, I would plan everything out in excruciating detail: Content calendars. Elaborate follow up plans. Colour coded charts...
I thought I was being soooo productive until I heard someone describe my strategy as: "forever stuck at the whiteboard".
Ouch. Accurate.
I had to admit my inordinate amount of planning was producing very little actual doing (or clients!)
Planning was my safe space. No one could reject me or ghost me or criticize me there.
I was safe in my little bubble of coloured highlighters and sticky notes, but DUH! No one could hire me in my little bubble either.
I scrambled to learn how to ditch perfectionism. My mantras became: "Do B- Work" "Good enough" "Set a timer for 30 minutes, and when it dings, hit send no matter what"
I'm now an im-perfectionist. I get 'er done.
But here's the thing.
There are things I want to achieve in my business that require foresight and planning - ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO CREATING CLIENTS THROUGH MARKETING.
I can't effectively do this flying by the seat of my pants.
So I developed a loose plan: the 3 Step Marketing Plan.
It works for the over planner, the under planner, and the ones who just simply want to avoid any kind of marketing plan at all.
Step One: Deepen Your Relationships
Make coffee dates, get on the phone, have a virtual coffee chat. Tell the people closest to you what you're up to. Ask for help. I know this is a vulnerable thing to do, but it's the most effective way to get your message out there while you grow your business. Plus it's good for our mental health!
Step Two: Meet New People.
Networking is just hanging out with people in high ceilinged rooms, eating cheese, and trying to place where you know people from. You can do this! Plus there are so many more options to get to know new people that don't require nametags. Get out there!
Step Three: Social Media As Your Business Card
This is the place to continue the conversation with old friends, new people you've met, and connect to your community. It is not your first resort.
If this seems like a doable plan, and you want to learn how to implement it specifically for your business, join me for:

3 STEP MARKETING PLAN MASTERCLASS
For all you entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, creatives and professional types who HATE marketing, but looooove working with your clients and want more of them.
You have to MARKET!
But here's the thing.
Marketing doesn't have to suck.
I think somewhere along the way we got our priorities mixed up.
We think marketing is social media - sitting on our phones and trying to communicate with tiny graphics and text.
But we forgot marketing is about creating trust between people!
We forgot we're humans.
Oops.
Humans who love to, and need to, connect with other humans.
What if the first priority of marketing is to DEEPEN THE RELATIONSHIPS YOU ALREADY HAVE?
I know you're good at connecting and creating trust with people. Why not do more of that?!
Then, go meet more humans - who have human problems you're perfectly designed to solve.
Then; only then, connect on social media - your living and breathing business card - to continue the conversation.

You can go ahead and stop making complicated content schedules you know you're never going to follow anyway.
Start marketing from the heart.
Human to human.
Let's talk about how much you hate marketing!
LOL!
I've heard it all.
"I hate social media"
"I don't know how to describe what I do"
"What if I get haters? Cancelled?"
"What if someone says I'm fat? Or uncaring? Or annoying?"
We know intellectually that to sell our services we have to market them.
But our bodies are screaming: "Nooooooo! I don't want to!"
So we either show up haphazardly with no plan; communicating only sporadically...or we over-plan with perfectionist fantasies of posting three times a day; ending up overwhelmed and not posting at all.
So what do you do if you're the face of your business, and people want to see you in photos, hear your story, and trust your brand to be reliable?
Find a middle ground between no planning and over-planning.
Set a very small goal for the week. So small that if your brain says: "that's not enough" you're on the right track.
Here's some ideas:
1. Invite one person for a 20 minute virtual coffee and during the conversation tell them about the last person you helped
2. Post a three sentence tip on Instagram and ask your followers if they've ever tried it
3. Email one person you recently met and let them know you're taking on new clients and describe the results your clients get
Start small and build slowly.
I'm not saying you're going to suddenly looooove marketing. But you might learn to not hate it. Baby steps!
P.S.
I'm booking consultation calls all week. If you want to set up a time to figure out what's holding you back, where you want to go, and how I can help you get there, send me a DM
Which one of these 7 decisions you need to make to grow your business trip you up?
1. Offer: What are you actually selling? How much is it?
2. Habits: What habits do you need to make to support you making a lot of offers? What's in the way of making them?
3. Messaging: What simple language explains the value you bring? How do you want to package your offer?
4. Marketing: Who needs it and can afford it? Where are 3 places to have conversations with your people about your offer?
5. Vision: How do you want to play a bigger game to be seen, heard and take up space?
6. Sales: How will you ask for the business? What system do you use to get paid?
7. Delivery: How will you deliver your service or product and ensure your customers are happy?
I can help you make all these decisions so you can let go of confusion and indecision, and truly go for it in your business.
🎟️DM Me to book your consultation call to know what problems are holding you back, what the process to move forward looks like, and the results you can expect
Or use my calendar: https://calendly.com/lindadrosdowech/sales-call
The most common reason people don't sign up for coaching is: "I can't afford it right now".
Let's be clear.
I'd never suggest someone sign up for coaching if they're in financial distress. There are times when it really is too much money, and does not make sense to invest.
It is expensive...
And also worth it!
So when you do have the money and want to invest in coaching, here's what to expect:
☄️A thought partner and second set of eyes on your business to help you execute plans: "I don't have to do life alone anymore"
☄️Someone who believes in your capabilities, dreams and possibilities - often more than you do - and holds them with deep reverence
☄️A process to help you make decisions on your offer, messaging, delivery, marketing and sales strategies
☄️A delicious feeling of "She gets me" and "She's got my back"
☄️Knowing I'm there for you to help make your life easier, more manageable and more delightful
☄️Trusting I'll tell you the truth of what habits, thoughts and beliefs I notice getting in the way of getting what you want
It is expensive.
And so, so worth it.

Last week we challenged ourselves to play a bigger game by making offers, pitches and asks that felt beyond our reach.
We pushed through our fears of being salesy, reached out to people we were intimidated to pitch, and learned how to hear "no" and not fall apart.
Let's keep this energy going!
JOIN ME THIS WEEK ON INSTAGRAM LIVE FOR:
GET A "YES" | Ask for What You Want Challenge
November 13-17 (Mon-Fri) at 12:00 pm CT
To get what you want you have to:
✅Know what you want/be clear on your offer
✅Get over your fear of being greedy, pushy and selfish
✅Be willing to hear "no"
✅Repeat your ask over and over
✅Believe you deserve what you're asking for
Join me in this challenge so we can all get what we want!
These three tools will help you create the change you want in your life:
MOVE YOUR BODY
When we talk about artists we refer to them as having a body of work. For you to create a new habit, a new business, or a new direction, you have to step into your body and move.
Walk - preferably alone and in nature (Or whatever way suits your ability and safety)
MOVE YOUR PEN
Journalling slows us down enough so we can see the sentences - the thoughts - in our minds. We can notice patterns, concerns, hopes and fears, and set intentions to change.
Write - preferably three unfiltered pages in the morning with pen and paper
MOVE YOUR MIND
Taking time to notice our breath each day grounds us in the present moment. We notice our thoughts and see that not all of them are useful or true. We can decide to create new thoughts we want to think on purpose.
Meditate - preferably a couple minutes a day of paying focused attention to the breath
Walking, writing and meditating will help you access your own unique ideas. They will calm your nervous system enough to move forward with clarity.
Move your body, move your pen, move your mind to quietly, simply and powerfully change your life.
DM me to book a coaching consultation call

📌Attention: Friday Morning Meetup Friends
As you know, I adore our connections, community and collaborations.
I love meeting new people and finding ways we can all support each other as we grow our businesses.
But as I need more time for my growing client list, I've decided to switch leading our weekly gathering to monthly.
Friday Morning Meetups will now be once a month on First Fridays.
📌As per usual, they will be at the Forks, 2nd Floor from 10:30-12:00
📌I look forward to seeing you on Friday, December 1st!
In the meantime, send me a DM to book your consultation call for coaching or a coffee chat for collaborating.
Want to know the most remarkable thing about November?
Just how many times you'll hear: "I can't believe it's November"
Followed closely by: "I can't believe it's 5:00 and it's dark already"
LOL!
Let's challenge ourselves to make this month a bit more exciting!
For the next few weeks, I'm personally challenging myself to fill my 1:1 coaching roster.
(I plan to offer a small group Mastermind in the new year)
I'm going to continue with my consistent marketing strategies that nurture you to trust and count on me to feel safe to buy that include:
😍Writing my regular weekly emails and social media posts that speak to your struggles and give doable solutions
😍Sticking to one offer and inviting you to sign up for consultation calls
😍Networking, meeting new people, and online or in person coffee dates
I'm also going to add in special interactive events so if you're ready to buy, but want to get to know me even more personally, you can join me:
😍😍😍😍😍Facebook Lives - I'm going Live everyday this week at 12:00 pm CT to talk about the mindset of setting goals, rejection and selling
THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: Get 5 "no's"
You heard me right.
Instead of trying to get people to say yes to your offers, let's see what happens when you try to get a "no".
📌You'll make an ask that feels beyond your reach.
📌You'll pitch someone you've always wanted to work with but were intimidated to try.
📌You'll make an offer even when you feel salesy and pushy because you know your service would really help them.
Tell us all about your "no's" and inspire us all to take bigger and bolder actions by commenting on my posts.
Then we'll all remark: "I can't believe how many clients I signed this November" and step into 2024 feeling more confident and certain than ever before.
DM me to get on my email list to be first in line to hear all my offers
I took Bear; all 135 pounds of him, to get a dog bath.
He took one look at the tub, and leveraged his front paws and weight to push back: "I think not. If you want a bath so bad, you get in. I'll wait in the car."
I was sweating and pulling with all my might: "C'mon, you stubborn goofball."
One of the staff saw my struggle and came to the rescue.
She sat calmly with a bag of treats and patiently coaxed him up the stairs; one by one, ever so gently. When he was at the top, she threw a handful of the most potent smelling sausages into the tub, and he couldn't resist jumping in.
I could make this story about selling, and the power of offering people what they want in a gentle, persuasive way.
But what struck me after I profusely thanked her, and suggested she should start a business that uses her particular talents with animals, she said: "That's the plan. Someday..."
I told her: "Listen. I work with entrepreneurs and business owners. If there's one thing I would recommend it would be to start now. Don't wait until it's perfectly planned. Do it now. Be willing to do it badly at first. Make mistakes and learn."
You're not going to wake up and magically be confident, certain, and sure of yourself.
You're never going to have it all figured out in advance.
There's never going to be a perfect time.
Someday is today.
Just begin.
Business owners generally looooove the service they've created.
They know it's helpful, healing and beneficial. They know once their client tries it, they're going to get amazing results.
But, when they realize they actually have to SELL IT...damn, things fall apart.
"I hate sales"
"I don't want to be pushy"
"I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable"
They're picturing pushing their service on someone who really doesn't want it. They're visualizing convincing someone to buy who thinks what they do is a waste of time. They're imagining how hard it's going to be to get a naysayer to say yes.
All of this feels icky, icky, icky.
So they either avoid selling, or they focus their marketing on trying to convince skeptical people to become clients.
Not a good sales strategy!
Try this instead:
✍️Write your content to the people who are already a yes
📈Pitch to the person who knows they need what you're selling
📢Speak to the people who believe what you do is valuable
Can you feel the slight but important shift in your focus and energy?
It makes the world of difference for how your message is received.
Marketing and selling is waaaaay more fun when you believe there are people who can't wait to hear more about what you offer!
😄I know you can't wait to hear more about what I have to offer.
DM me to book your free consultation call to talk about how coaching can make your sales process way more fun and successful!
The amount of conversations I have with business owners who really, really don't want to show up on social media is staggering.
I don't want to be annoying.
I don't want to get judged or criticized.
I don't want to waste time putting in effort if no one is going to like my posts.
I don't like the way I look and sound.
I don't feel ready unless I have my grid, branding, and posts planned, batched and set to drop at the perfect time.
I get it.
The first few times I posted, I felt like the whole world was watching and waiting to pounce: "You're doing it wrong. Who do you think you are? You're too old, inarticulate, and inexperienced to belong in this space"
Yikes.
Social media is a challenging space. It can be harsh, judgemental, and unsafe - even more so for people in the BIPOC or LGBTQ2S+ communities.
Your first priority is to make choices that work for you.
If you do choose to use social media for business, but still struggle with the personal motivation to show up, try this:
Create your own personal mission statement for social media. Reflect on your values, goals and politics. You get to create the intentional set of rules you want to live (and post) by.
Ask yourself:
How can I lean into being the face of my business?
How can I create more know, like and trust with potential clients?
How am I creating a welcoming, beautiful, safe space for clients to easily engage with me?
Am I recognizing the privilege I hold if I'm white, able bodied, and straight, for showing up as myself?
Do I want to accept the responsibility of being an example for what is possible for others?
How can I balance privacy and wanting to get my brand known?
Remember: you’re the one in charge. It will feel lighter and more doable if you take the time to decide for yourself how you want to show up, what you want to talk about, and how often you post.
DM me, and we'll find a time to talk about coaching and embracing social media to land your next few clients.
What do you need or want to do this week that requires courage?
Is it speaking up?
("What if I get it wrong")
(Fear)
Is it taking time off?
("What if I step away and lose momentum")
(Worry)
Is it getting to work?
("What if people judge me for being thoughtless")
(Anxiety)
Is it asking for help?
("I can't look weak")
(Doubt)
Is it taking a stance?
("What if I hurt someone unintentionally")
(Shame)
Notice the thought and feeling that's holding you back, and ask yourself what you want to think instead to help you be brave, and to help others in need.
Being brave isn't the absence of fear. It's feeling fear and taking action anyway.
Take brave action this week. Whatever it looks like to you. Let me know in the chat what thought is keeping you going right now.
I'm here if you want to talk. DM me
Are you playing a supporting role to everyone else around you?
Making sure they shine? Making sure they realize their dreams? Making sure they get what they deserve?
It's time to be the main character of your own life.
"But I can't be the main character. My life's a mess. I'm all over the map. I don't even know what I want"
Hold on.
Have you seen the movie, "It's Complicated" with Meryl Streep having an affair with her ex played by Alec Baldwin?
At the beginning of the movie Meryl's character says to a couple celebrating their anniversary: "You two have led an extraordinary blessed life. For as long as I've known you, you've managed to always somehow do everything entirely right."
She then skulks off uncomfortably while her ex sidles up to his new young wife played brilliantly by Lake Bell.
Here's the thing.
The movie is NOT about the woman who has led a blessed life and done everything entirely right.
Hell no.
The movie is about the complicated, slightly unhinged woman making questionable life decisions by sleeping with her ex and getting high with Steve Martin!
She's the one we're rooting for!
She's the one we love who's messy, funny and stalking her therapist with pastries.
Sure, she's also super rich, and the whole plot is a fantasy for divorced women, but you get my point.
Main characters have obstacles. They have enemies. They have self doubt.
They're main characters because they don't give up until they win the race, learn the dance, get the law degree...
Conjure your main character energy.
You’re Elle Woods in the bunny suit standing in line with the computer in your arms.
You’re Rocky in the meat district punching cows.
You’re Baby learning how to dirty dance.
You’re going to get to the end no matter what.
