Welcome!
It’s great to see you here. Let’s get to work . . .
Things To Remember
Please note the following:
- Please bookmark this page or make a note of the page address.
- I absolutely want you to get the most you possibly can out of this workshop so I have a special bonus for you: a one-to-one coaching call where you and I will discuss anything you want about your marketing and business growth plan. Details below.
- If you struggle to understand and remember everything we cover – just focus on the core principles – they will guide through your decisions.
- Do the work and reap the benefits. It took me years of making most mistakes you can think of to finally discover what works and what doesn’t. Use my experience as a shortcut and get to your end goals faster.
- Unsure about something? Ask. I will record an FAQ video in a week or two.
- Be proud of your decision to go into business for yourself. You have so much knowledge, wisdom, and experience. Let’s get you out there helping as many great employers as we can!

Resources
More resources will be added to the folder here.
NEW: Referrals Planner (Hot 30 Referrers spreadsheet) – You can do really well with just five or six good referrers who regularly send strong business leads your way. However, Pareto’s 80/20 law says that only 20% of your contacts will bring in 80% of your referrals. So how do you manage that? By having enough possible referrers so that at least one in five will refer you new clients. To make it happen, you need to keep in touch with them and build a relationship. Use this planner to keep track of your Hot 30 referrers list – the 30 people to maintain relationships with so that one in five of them regularly refer you new clients.
NEW: Interview With LinkedIn Expert – Here’s an as-yet-unreleased podcast episode on how to get more clients from LinkedIn with expert, Nigel Cliffe.
