She made £26,000 in the first 3 months of working with me

You know you talk about marketing too much when your phone auto-corrects “honestly” to “HubSpot”

🤣

I wrote a stupid post about pizza that got me a $2.5k client

(paid in full, in the DMs)

It also generated:

→ 54 comments
→ 21,529 impressions
→ 76 profile viewers
→ 33 followers

On Wednesday I’m gonna break down why it did so well in an email.

PS: It's a different picture of me with pizza.  Not this one.

Count yourself lucky - you've been treated to 2 pizza photos in 10 days.

2.5 years ago, I quit my job with no backup plan.

I’d only been posting on LinkedIn for 2 months.

My business wasn’t making profit, I had a tuned-out Instagram audience, and no idea if I’d make things work or not.

I was used to working 8 hours a day for the employed role, and then 2/3 hours either side of it on the ‘side hustle’. So like most people in the early stages, I thought:

“I’ll just work harder, post more content, send more DMs… and everything will fall into place”

But it didn’t...

Why? Because the work you put in, the content you post + the DMs you send don’t really matter if your offer isn’t right. And back then, my offer was all over the place:

❌ → It wasn’t clear enough, it wasn’t specific enough, and it didn’t solve my audience’s biggest problems. So, I went back to the fundamentals:

I stopped trying to do everything.

I got laser-focused on the who + the how, and I dialled things in so people couldn’t say no. Instead of value-centric, I went problem-centric. And the clarity I got from slowing down changed everything:

→ First £2,500 client.
→ First £250,000 year.
→ And 100+ clients served.

So know this: If you’re not getting results, it’s not the algorithm → It’s probably your offer, messaging or positioning.

Your content, your leads, your sales…
They’re all downstream from that one thing.

If what you put out there doesn’t make people think

“That’s exactly what I need…”
It’s time to fix it.

Has Alex Hormozi ruined offers for everyone? 🤔

Let me start by saying this…

I’m a massive Hormozi fan. The guy’s a genius, the GOAT.

And when he dropped his $100M Offers book… it changed the game.

But here’s the thing about being the GOAT:
People start copying you.

Cue the madness:

🚨 Hit $10,000 months in 7.5 seconds
🚨 Lose 50 pounds by thinking about salad
🚨 If it doesn’t work, I’ll refund you + buy you a private jet

The problem isn’t Hormozi’s framework → it’s how people use it.

Everyone’s trying to outdo each other with ridiculous promises, and the market’s now full of offers that look great on paper but leave burnt clients trying to trigger guarantees (with crazy clauses that they can’t escape).

So how do you stand out in the circus? 🤡

How do you build an offer that isn’t just hype, but actually sells?

Here’s my answer → Lean into YOU.

Hormozi says it himself:
Your unique edge is your best defence against competition.

→ What do you bring to the table?
→ What’s your experience, your style, your approach?
→ Why should someone trust you over anyone else?

Because no one can replicate YOU.

- - - - - - - -

This is what we dive into in my FREE offer training.

I’ll help you craft an offer that’s:

✅ Built on your strengths
✅ Aligned with your audience
✅ So clear, that it practically sells itself.

No nose strips required.

Let’s build something that signals how different you are.

(Can’t lie → Nose strips are amazing)

Cristiano Ronaldo misses 85% of the time 🚫

Yet here you are… sh-tting yourself when you only get 4 likes.

Let me spell it out ↴

Ronaldo’s one of the greatest footballers of all time.
But his shot-to-goal “conversion rate” is only 15%.

That means he misses 85% of the time.

And you know what he does?

HE KEEPS SHOOTING 🥅

Because he knows it’s not about perfection.

Perfection can’t be reached.
It’s about persistence.

Now, let’s zoom out for a second…

One post flopping doesn’t matter.

Neither does one going viral.

What actually matters is this golden question:

Are you taking enough shots?
Or overthinking every f-cking move?

Every flop is feedback.

So stop crying over 4 likes.

And keep shooting.

Please.

As Wayne Gretzky said: You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

I’ve just built a tool for our clients that turns long-form content into fully designed carousels in under 5 minutes.

No, you can’t have it. It’s for clients only!

But I can show you how it works...

Here's a 5 min overview → https://lnkd.in/ebghEz8m

One of our clients, timed herself making a carousel the old way.

It took her FOUR HOURS 🤣

That’s time she could’ve spent talking to leads, delivering to clients, or fixing something.

Content is a trust builder, not a full-time job.

Please don’t spend too much time on it.

I remember making a BANGER carousel about WImbledon tennis when I first started creating content

It took 3 hours + I got no leads 🤣

Carousels aren’t meant to be f-cking art projects.

So I built the C2C Carousel Creator tool… it breaks our clients long-form content (emails, transcripts, brain dumps) into carousel slides in a few clicks.

LEAVING SCHOOL WITH 2 GCSEs WAS A INTERESTING START BUT…

I have worked in education for many years and have held leadership roles in both the secondary and primary sectors. Most recently, holding the role of Principal for five years at a large inner-city primary school until finally moving into Executive leadership. 
 
PEOPLE MATTER AND NEED TO BE HEARD…

Throughout my journey of leading change, I have amplified the need for staff development, care, and well-being to achieve and sustain positive school culture. Coupled with the need to ensure consultation runs through the heart of any organisation - giving everyone a voice. With extensive senior leadership experience in education,  
we work with educational organisations that want to do things differently.
​
I WRITE…

In addition to my work as Founder of Leading In The Now, I am a regular columnist for a number of publications sharing my views and guidance on leadership, organisational culture and creativity, and I'm currently writing my first book to be published internationally in 2023
​
I TALK…

Further to this written work, I regularly speak nationally and internationally about leadership, education and school culture to a wide range of audiences. 
​
LET’S CONNECT…

There is always a different way of looking at things, an alternative way of working and, importantly, a fresh way of supporting and developing others in their role. It's time to make change happen.
