Chelsea Quint is The Business Whisperer, an ex-corporate marketer turned messaging strategist who helps brilliant founders get their genius offers seen and sold. After cutting her teeth in marketing for major brands like Pilot Pens and Party City, she now uses her marketing expertise to help entrepreneurs break through the noise with crystal-clear positioning, magnetic messaging, and cult-status offers that convert. Chelsea specializes in crafting emotionally resonant sales campaigns that build trust, spark desire, and skyrocket sales without chasing trends or dumbing things down. Her approach treats business building as both art and science, focusing on the strategic storytelling that transforms best-kept secrets into bestselling offers. When she's not helping clients design sales systems that book out their services (or sell out their digital products), you can find her on the East Coast with her chef husband, corgi, and two cats, probably trying to eat Mexican food for every meal and improvising songs about what her pets are thinking.
healthy narcissism required?

Chelsea here, reporting live from the first day of my birthday month, which means you're getting a giddy, over-the-moon version of me sliding into your inbox. Chelle and I were on our content meeting (along with our incredible VA, Amy) when she told me she loved the reel I'd shared earlier that morning. "Oh, I love the reel you just posted!" Chelle told me. "Did you see the other one I did? The one before that?" I asked because frankly, I was delighted by the content I'd created. I watched it multiple times in the creation process, and several more since posting. This is the one I'm talking about if you're feeling curious. And while part of me wonders whether you'll judge me if I admit how much I amuse myself with my content, this almost 33 year old just can't be bothered to care about being judged by things that delight me. Besides, as I've often said before, starting and growing your own business requires a bit of healthy narcissism if you're going to stick it out for the long haul, and I'm not afraid to cultivate that in myself. One of the most delightful things we've discovered since going into business together instead of doing it alone is how much easier it is to love our work. To feel like what we're doing is enough. And to stay motivated to keep going and keep doing the things because we aren't bogged down by all the thoughts of self-doubt, not good enough, and insecurity. Unfortunately, not everyone has a dream business partner waiting in the wings, or a collaborative business idea they're ready to go in on. Chelle and I were very, very lucky in that department. But while we can't all start a business with someone we respect and adore, we can cultivate a similar experience by creating a circle of co-conspirators, cheerleaders, support unicorns ready and waiting to tell us that yes, that reel was amazing, and the fact that it didn't get its due means you'll need to tweak it and share it again in a few weeks. That person or group of people is invaluable to your long-term success. Whether it's in the form of a business bestie or accountability buddy, a coach, a mastermind, or a coworking circle, we hope you'll get yourself around people who help you feel that little bit of delulu energy that we all need to make it in this wild world of entrepreneurship. With that, this delulu Pisces girl is off to celebrate my birthday. x Chelsea & Chelle Our Iceberg is Melting: Our Iceberg Is Melting is a simple fable about doing well in an ever-changing world. Based on the award-winning work of Harvard's John Kotter, it is a story that has been used to help thousands of people and organizations. This book was a surprising addition to my favorites list. It's a fable about a colony of penguins faced with the impending challenge of their home melting away. It's also a textbook in my Master's degree class on Leading Through Change. I love how the author took a deep and complex issue such as corporate change management and turned it into a fun to read picture book. Birthday Magic: I (Chelsea) am celebrating my 33rd birthday on Monday, and for many years I used to do flash sales on sessions for my birthday, because getting to talk to you is honestly one of the greatest gifts. I haven't had the capacity to do this over the last few years, but I have a little more time now which means we've got 5 sessions open at 50% off. Use the code BIRTHDAY. Oura Rings: since we started The Business Whisperers, we created a 'Circle' where we share our daily Oura scores, and earlier today confirmed that each of our partners has also decided to take the Oura plunge. If you don't love data and nerding out over how you take care of yourself, this may not be your jam, but if you want a tool that helps you take care of yourself as you grow your business, we cannot recommend this more.

So, there is a very particular kind of founder I see a lot in my world... largely because I tend to connect with folks who are EPIC at what they do, but still not hitting the level of consistent, dependable, and frankly life-changing money they want to be making from their business. That was me for the first 3 years of my business... And it's the thing where you're not confused about whether you can sell. When you are in a room with someone, or talking to them in the DMs, or on a sales call,...
I had a chat a few weeks ago with a newer client whose business sells digital products and courses who said something I hear constantly, especially this year… “I can sell… but only when I’m like fully in it. When I’m fully on.” Fully focused. Fully energized and healthy. Fully clear on and connected to the offer. When there’s a full plan, and the visibility has been on lock, and you’re feeling yourself because damn, you did actually do all the things you said you were going to do. When she...
Okay, I did it. I leaned back from my computer after hitting send on the email. The one I wish I was organized enough to have written last week, then scheduled so I wouldn’t even remember when it was sending, and I’d be surprised and delighted when the Stripe notifications started rolling in. But I didn’t write the email last week, so here I am, sitting in front of my laptop, deeply aware that I just sent an email that is supposed to drive sales. I pick up my phone. No notifications. Hmm…...
