The Strategy Hub with Nicola

I will be honest, I felt less than enthusiastic about January. I spent the last couple of weeks of 2023 feeling ill and new year wasn't so much as a "new me" situation, just more of a "normal me" aspiration.

So, I am declaring January a bit of a "tester month" and I am going all out for February, because it's not so much about WHEN you start to make change and take control, it's more about JUST MAKING A START and staying consistent.

February is a Leap Year this year so, I felt that was the perfect opportunity to fall in love with myself, help others get to know, like and trust me, and for me to say "I Do" to opportunity and prosperity.

I will be spending the entire month of February leaping into my visibility, blowing my horn and raising my profile in a series of organsied ways and I would love for you to join me.


My programme for February is "LEAP into Visibility: The 29-Day Profile Raising Sprint" and I would love to help you do what I do, consistently for 29 days, to see just how much you can raise your profile, bring new connections in to your business and create a whole new group of warm leads to sell your products and services to.

So, take a look at my new LEAP Into Visibility Programme HERE, its £1 per day and the goal is to go all in to grow your audience, be it your community or your mailing list or even just your profile followers as much as possible. Let's sprint through February together!

Who do I know here on my friends list who live in the Black Country, besides Donna Braden??

My newest SMASH AGENCY client is based in that neck of the woods and I'd love to:

🤩bring new followers to their page Tividale FC Sports Bar

❤️see some "LOVE" on their posts

😘see some shares of their events announcement.

Who's out there who can give me some support?

So fed up of all the “judgy” Black Friday posts this year.

The majority are completely misunderstanding how to create a Black Friday offer in the first place.

I love you if you’re doing Black Friday ❤️

I love you if you’re not doing Black Friday ❤️

Let’s all crack on.

I have different clients doing different things, some are doing a Black Friday deal, some aren’t. It’s entirely up to them.

We looked at their marketing and their market place, asked ourselves was there something that would work and if we got to the point where we were creating something just because we felt we should we stepped away from it and agreed that it’s not for right now.

I have a Black Friday bundle. ❤️

It’s my most popular “starting point” product for most of the people who come in to my world.

It’s genuinely designed to give new clients the best extra incentive they need to take the first step to working with me.

It’s a bundle, it’s 2 products that I offer and they are clearly at a bundle price that shows a massive saving.

People who need it are seeing it and buying. ❤️

People who don’t need it are scrolling on by. ❤️

It’s only on offer today.

If you want it then have a look at the link in the comments✅

If you don’t want it then that’s absolutely fine. ✅

Either way, have a great day!! ❤️❤️

Money education is a necessity for everyone and I love the way Claire Sweet brings everyone into the mix

I know quite a few people on my list are the parents of TEENAGERS, UNI students or live at home 20-somethings... so I thought I would share this like as you might want to sign THEM up to the Pause & Ping challenge!!

It's a way to build GOOD money habits and to START their financial CONFIDENCE journey AND you can rest assured that the info is going to be accurate, relevant and easy to understand... rather than some of the stuff they'll see in the online space!

This is suitable for people at ALL levels (I’m doing it)- and it takes a commitment of just a few minutes a day - WHO do you know who might want to FIND more money each month to put towards something they dream of.

Holiday, New Car, HOME of their own... let me hold their hand!

So, I wanted to write an epic sales post today, but my mind is blank so I need you help…

Just think of something amazing that you need to know about your business, something you need to implement to attract more leads and make more sales, bring more income and see more profit.

Ok, now put it in to words below.

Im pretty sure I will have a service to cover it.

Let’s go…tell me below what you need?

Who’d like me to create a lead magnet for them, with a set of social media post and emails to use to push it out?

Are you thinking “New Year, New You”? 🤔

Well, you maybe don’t need to be that drastic!

What if I said “New Year, New Revenue Stream” or even “New Year, Brand New Business or Side Hustle”? 🤩

Would that get you excited? 😜

The POD FOMO is real!!!

We have seen so many people jump in to the POD 123 workshops in both London and Manchester, especially since we announced the location of the London event will be in the EPIC WESTMINSTER ABBEY!!

Actual message I received this morning made me chuckle…

“I hummed and hawed over it for a day, wondering if I should add another string to my bow, I also had FOMO 😂 So I just went for it”

This is so amazing to see, it means people really are getting the idea that this can be an additional revenue stream, it can be a complimentary addition to your existing business AND it can be a completely new and separate business that stands alone and more or less runs it’s self after set up.

If you’re up for a new way to create income, that’s not a dodgy pyramid, and isn’t going to cost you an arm and a leg to set up, has no requirement to start renting warehouse space, and can give you a really great way to grow a small business for yourself from day one, then this is it!!

Come and join us at “THE ABBEY” in London on the 28th Nov or in Manchester (central location to be confirmed any second) on the 29th Nov, meet the Jo Wildsmith, Marie Walker and I and

It’s November, so grateful to have survived October.

As predicted, my inbox is full of the Black Friday announcement.

If you’re about to start, and you are still thinking you know how it works, and don’t feel you need to watch my masterclass or jump into my BLACK FRIDAY group workshop then I am still here for you.

My tip tips for getting your offer out there are:

1. Don’t dumb down in your values, the “ideal client” rules still apply.

2. Make the offer a good one: offer 5% discount and expecting a frenzy won’t work.

3. If you want to create excitement, be excited. If you’re message isn’t inspiring then neither will your sales be.

4. Bundle over discount: make it a deal, not a sale

5. Make a limited time/limited quantity offer for the ultimate FOMO.

6. Be clear on Ts & Cs, selling period, delivery times, and when offers start and finish.

7. Don’t paint your socials black, a tick with your branding colours as you want to stand out!

8. Don’t use the words “Black Friday” in every subject header in your email marketing…predictable marketing isn’t disruptive!

If you need help then I have lots of resources, as me for a link.

And so it begins!
