Hello beautiful people!
Our December 2022 meeting will take place on Thursday, December 15th at 11:30am PST at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85965793555 and its replay will live on this page within a day of the live mastermind session.
Reminder: We’re using the same Zoom link for all of our JFDI hotseat sessions. Keep it handy! And keep an eye on my events calendar for any changes to our dates (time will always be 11:30am Pacific). So excited for where we’ll GROW from here!
If you’d like a refresh on any of the JFDI with Bon curriculum goodness without having to comb through alllllllll the content we’ve covered since March 2020, check out this lovely orientation page over here. Yay!
AND, if you’d like more support or just some hang time each month, you’re welcome to join in for Connect with Bon (check for all the details here). No RSVP, no replay, no pressure.
Cool stuff we chatted through:
~ The 9 (Post) Grid at Instagram. Worth a look if you’re tired of lower reach with your POSTS than you get on your STORIES. It’s not 100% passive, but it’s something that supports a way scaled-back use of Instagram (which is not a bad idea).
~ Inflact for Instagram management if you’d like to go the other direction and invest money in your Instagram marketing efforts (I’m going to poke around for their “download the whole IG profile without watermarks” thing, because getting my best IG posts cross-posted at the blog for Google traction is always a project-in-progress).
~ Shop Studio Sisters are the ones who shared the link to that $9 IG download, and they’ve got some great resources and tips for online selling. They’re Etsy shop folks, but marketing tips work across platforms for the most part!
~ Systeme (ah! French spelling; thank you, Stephanie!!) for doing all-in-one email campaigns mapped out as sales funnels, nurture sequences, delivery-of-lead-magnet-goodies, evergreen webinar processes, etc., especially for those looking for an upgrade from Mailchimp-level emailing. NO IDEA how much this costs, but there’s a free tier, so worth poking around if this intrigues you. At the VERY least, consider the WHY behind each email. Is it a KLT-builder? An offer? A give-give-give to lead to a future sales pitch?
~ Reminder that you have full access to Connect with Bon as JFDI masterminders! Schedule and Zoom link will always be here for you. I love having this extra bit of connection without a topic or agenda.
BTW, I want to mention that I know (and I see you, and your shares about being low-energy, unwell, or just OVER so much of everything right now) it takes a lot of commitment and energy to keep a small business GROWING. Listen… I’ve been through it ALL in these 23+ years of running my biz. The good news is: It’s all worth it. Every bit of it. AND the whole point of having access to each other in these convos is to know we’re not alone. Please, do not let the parts of running a business that fatigue you STOP YOU. Just let them remind you that it’s time for a rest… and as a small-business owner, you can TAKE ONE. Then get back at it.
I am here for you! PLEASE let me know how I can best be of service as you do this work. Reminders for 2023: Ask yourself what is the mission statement for your business? What is IT here to do in the world? Get specific. AND what is lighting you UP right now? Be honest. It’s TOTALLY fine (and normal) to not be lit up about all parts of your business all the time. These are waves we’re riding. Let’s lean into what’s lighting us up and look forward to all the Jupiter and Venus yumminess greeting us in 2023! (I know, this isn’t the woo membership; it just means MOAR and MONEY.)
So much love to you all,
