How 302 Business Cards Led to My First Seven-Figure Contract
I walked out of one conference with 302 business cards. Within six weeks, they helped me land my first ever six-figure contract. Two months later… That turned into my first ever seven-figure contract. And there’s a MASSIVE marketing lesson in this. You probably already have access to far more opportunities than you realise.

Why Fear of Looking Silly Is Holding Back Your Business Growth
People tell me all the time: “Sarah, I’ll do ANYTHING to grow my business.” Anything? Brilliant. You’ll walk across hot coals. Jump out of a plane. Climb the highest mountain barefoot. Swim across an ocean. Ride a goat naked into the sunset if that’s what it takes. Fantastic. Will you post a 12-second video pretending…
How to Stop Leaving Money on the Table: The Power of Automated Follow-Ups
Now, before anyone panics… You absolutely CAN market your business without fancy funnels and automations. But once you’ve got your basic marketing working, this is one of the areas I’d be building next. Because getting someone’s attention is only the beginning. What happens AFTER they click? What happens after they give you their email address?…
Why Teaching People How to Use Your Software Is Your Best Sales Strategy
Here’s one of the biggest mistakes SaaS businesses make: They spend all their time trying to convince people to buy… Instead of showing people what the software can actually do.

And meanwhile, you feel like you’re working twice as hard for half the result. After more than 20 years in business, I’ve learned something important: Business growth isn’t usually…
How to Build an Authentic Personal Brand That Actually Stands Out Online
Let’s get over ourselves for a minute. Seriously. We spend SO much time worrying about looking professional, polished, intelligent, credible and perfectly put together that sometimes we completely edit the HUMAN out of our personal brand. But what are we actually here for? To help people. To connect. To teach. To make an impact. And…
How to Use Collaborations and AI to Reach More People Without Spending a Fortune on Marketing
One of the fastest ways to grow your business isn’t advertising. It’s borrowing trust. And one of the best ways to do that is through collaborations. Now, I much prefer the word collaboration over partnership. The word partnership makes me want to run for the hills. But collaboration? That’s different. A collaboration can be as…
Memberships Are Not a Get-Rich-Quick Scheme (And Anyone Who Says They Are Is Lying)
Let me be very clear. I am not the coach who is going to tell you: “Start a membership and you’ll be at $100k a month by next quarter.” No. That is fantasy marketing. Memberships are one of the slowest growth business models you can choose. And that’s exactly why they’re powerful. 1️⃣ It Takes…
How to Get Your First Paying Clients When Starting from Zero
Starting a business from scratch can feel overwhelming. You look around and see people with huge audiences, polished websites and years of momentum behind them. Meanwhile you’re sitting there thinking… “Where on earth do I start?” If I had to start my business all over again tomorrow, here’s exactly what I would do. 1️⃣ Get…
How to Use AI to Respond Faster, Win More Clients and Stop Losing Sales Opportunities
Have you ever lost a sale simply because you didn’t reply fast enough? I have. And recently I experienced it from the customer’s side too. I was looking for a clinical hypnotherapist.
