One of those is writing sales copy where you focus on your clients’ pain points. You think about what’s keeping them up at night and then you emphasise that negative and present your solution. One of the things my clients say most often when we talk about copywriting and marketing is, I've seen it done this way and I don't want to do that. Do you feel like that too? That go for the jugular, masculine style of hitting people where it hurts...

Are you also asking yourself whether it’s possible to do that at the same time as having other commitments and interests outside work? Reaching Seven Figures can feel like a mountain top. It’s up there, in front of you, something to be conquered. You might picture yourself always working, or completely the opposite, off enjoying yourself leaving your team in charge of the day to day. To give you a realistic picture of what it’s truly like to run a Se...
2021-10-1833 minSeven Figure Consultant with Jessica FearnleyBreaking the Rules of Everyday ScarcityScarcity can be all around us. Just read your news app and you usually get a huge dose of scarcity to get you going in the morning. At the moment the UK papers are all full of stories about the petrol shortages - that’s gas for my friends in the US. They’re also warning us that there’ll be no food in the supermarkets this Christmas. But scarcity isn’t something that only exists in the media. It’s instilled in us as children and we can create it for ourselves. Sometimes this is obvious. Every time...
2021-10-1116 minSeven Figure Consultant with Jessica FearnleyHow to Post for Engagement on LinkedIn and Build and Leverage Your Network, with Donna SerdulaLinkedIn is a platform that can feel a bit like Marmite. I've known many women who say, I posted a couple of times, and no one commented or liked what I wrote. I felt like a loser. So I gave up and I hate LinkedIn because it doesn't work. However, I know from my own experience that LinkedIn can be incredibly effective for building your business. I became a LinkedIn Top Voice in 2019 and it’s been an amazing experience. But before that happened, I was using LinkedIn effectively to build relationships. Do you want to...

Or that a small business is defined as having a turnover of less than $50 million? When you think about how ‘big’ a small business can be, it puts quite a different lens on what for many women consultants can seem a lofty dream - reaching Seven Figures. So much of the online business world is geared around getting to Six Figures. But it all gets a bit vague after that. There’s not much information out there about...
2021-09-2715 minSeven Figure Consultant with Jessica FearnleyHappy High Achievers with Dr Susan BernsteinMany women consultants find they have created a business which exactly replicates all of the things they didn’t enjoy when they worked in corporate. They might have left saying, ‘I will never...’ but fast forward a year or more later and there they are. They were going to create a freedom lifestyle, instead, they are working long hours. Often as high achieving women, we have got where we are by pushing ourselves really hard. We continue to do that in our consultancy businesses. And we can be the worst boss we have ever had. Not ju...

There are constant demands on our time, from our clients, our own business, and other people in our life. Plus we want time to exercise, see friends and actually take a break. We’re supposed to get plenty of sleep too! How on earth do you fit it all in? In today’s episode of the podcast, I am talking about estimating time. I am the friend who is always running 10 minutes late, and I know from conversations with some of you that estimating time is an issu...

Did the speaker tell you a story? It might have been about them, about someone they worked with, something they saw, or they might have used a story to get you to think about how you respond to a situation. Whether you do public speaking all the time, or you’re summing up the courage to give it a go, storytelling helps you put together a compelling talk. You don’t just want to speak to your audience, you want to d...

We have this idea of business as being grey and serious, don’t we? When you worked in corporate, there was an expectation of what your day looked like, how you would behave, what work would be like. And now you sell to corporates, you’re probably still following those same rules. We get told all the way through school that we need to knuckle down and work hard. That narrative stays with us, doesn’t it? It’s almost as if we have thi...

Or things people look at in wonder that you think are ordinary because you’ve been accomplished at them from an early age? Often, we don’t realise that the things we’re naturally good at can be hard for other people. When you are naturally good at something it is very easy to minimize that. You tell yourself, ‘everyone can do that, that's not a thing. That's not something that people pay money for’. I speak to women who do this all the time. You have tal...

We learn through stories and we teach our children through them. That doesn’t stop when we are adults, or become business owners. Our stories influence our brands and the messages we send out about what we do and our values. One of the issues so many people struggle with is figuring out ‘who’ is the business and how much of themselves to put into it. This is where brand archetypes come in.

You started your business for financial freedom as well as to build the lifestyle you want and get results for your clients.

When you start a business it’s so easy to try to fit in. You can find yourself effectively saying, ‘tell me who you want me to be and I’ll do it’. But there’s a reason why you didn’t fit into the corporate box. You have an energy and a sparkle that you bring to your work. You do things in a way other people don’t.

Sometimes we can feel more comfortable with ‘accidentally’ doing it. That champagne moment when you land a contract which makes a significant change to your bottom line without purposefully seeking it. Intentionally growing your business is when you work towards a big picture you have in your mind. But I see so many women who do this: you might have a goal in mind but you shy away from writing it down, or telling it to anyone. And then when you do talk to someo...

No, this isn’t an episode about how a tidy desk means you are super organised and set for success. It’s about people’s perceptions of us and focusing on what matters. As you’ll hear, it’s inspired by a conversation I had with a business friend and I realised it had quite a few business lessons I’m going to share with you. You’ll have guessed from the title that I have a messy desk and...
2021-05-1713 minSeven Figure Consultant with Jessica FearnleyStepping into AbundanceAbundance can be a loaded word for lots of us. Life doesn’t always feel abundant.

It’s a classic scenario that women in all walks of life end up in. You’re stuck in resentment because you’re serving this huge audience but you, the shoemaker, are going barefoot, and it becomes a negative cycle of resentment and negative emotions and aspirations.

Here in the UK, schools are poised to go back and this intensely difficult phase is coming to an end. Women have been disproportionately affected by childcare and home-school responsibilities during lockdown, and it’s been more pronounced for self-employed women who have often ended up cutting back their paid work, and then falling through the cracks of the government grants for the self-employed. That may have been the case for you, or it might have impacted your work and home life in ot...

This time around, there’s more of an emphasis on continuity. We want things to be as normal as possible. Your B2B clients can’t afford to stay on pause for another 6 months.

Perhaps there is a nagging doubt that you have done something wrong or that you are about to get ‘found out’ and will be asked to leave, or to give a client a refund. You are not alone.

It needs you, your expertise, and your presence. It needs the world to keep working the way it does. Perhaps it is reliant on one or two big clients. This can put your business at risk if something goes down in your sector or industry, with a particular client you work with, or even within your own business. You are extremely vulnerable if you only do one thing. Adding revenue streams to your business means adding a corresponding service, or maybe even a new service, to...

And then as it grows, the amount of money coming in gets bigger, but the amount of time you have available gets increasingly smaller. And because of that, your workload and the pace the business moves at are continually increasing. You know, the hamster on the wheel, it just runs with its little paws faster and faster.
