Hey Circle,
Welcome to July!
It’s been a big month – we welcomed a bunch of new members, I closed the Circle doors for a few months, and we’re heading into the second half of 2025.
The cold winter winds are blowing down here in the Southern Hemisphere, while those of you in the North are enjoying the balmy midsummer days!
Did you set any goals or intentions for the second half of the year?
I set my quarterly goals on the winter solstice. It’s a good time to let go of things no longer serving you – which is why I decided it was a good time to ‘break up’ with my niche over on my YouTube channel so I can talk more broadly about living a creative life!
If you missed my announcement, where I explain what I’m doing and why, you can watch it here.
It’s a risk – both creatively and financially! – but what’s life without risk?
Do you have any creative risks you’ve been yearning to take?
See you in the Circle,
Jess x
We’re starting a NEW course inside the Thriver Circle today!
It’s called Marketing Fundamentals
We’ll dive into more detailed things like social media, social proof, PR etc. later in the year, but we’re going to start with the basics.
There are 4 modules, and 4 lessons:
- You Don’t Have to Market the Way Everybody Else Does
- Discover Your Ideal Customer
- How to Discover your Ideal Keywords
- Craft Your Ideal Marketing Plan
By the end of this course:
- You will be clear on your Money Mindset, and how that might be holding you and your business back
- You will have assessed your current financial position and how you are managing and tracking your business expenses
- You will understand the art and science of pricing handmade goods
The course is available now, so you can do it all in one day, or spread it out over the month – it’s up to you.
We will be discussing and focussing on this course here in the Circle throughout July – including 2 live coaching calls with me and your fellow Circle members (dates and times below).
If you have any questions or thoughts you’d like to share that pop up while you’re taking this course – make sure to come over and share with us in the private members-only Facebook Forum!
