“Wanna buy an Eye Hole?” ^It’s one of the sillier sentences I’ve uttered in my 33 years, but silly as it is, it’s one that I’ve said over and over again. One of my first experiences in small business was selling a product called an “Eye-Hole.” It was my aunt and cousin’s company, and believe it or not the company actually did reasonably well. But why did it do well? To skip to the end, the answer is messaging, paired with some serious tenacity. The product itself looked like a basic adjustable necklace, at best. 🙄 No one on the planet was walking around saying, “gee, if only I had an eye hole!” No one knew what an Eye Hole was. So I could’ve run ads and sent cold pitches and started a podcast and been making Reels with trending audio and hidden keywords every single day and still gotten little to no sales. Fortunately, we knew that there WERE people walking around saying, “ugh, where the hell did I put my glasses now?” Lots of them. And those people? They liked the minimalist, chic look of an Eye-Hole much better than those glasses holder strap things. When the messaging works, sales pop. The name, the product, the number of sales calls we did or posts we made, none of it would have mattered if we didn’t get clear on exactly who we were talking to and exactly what to say to connect with those people. That’s what magnetic messaging gets you - clarity and connection. What would be possible for your business if you felt clear on what you were saying, and if you opened your inbox to more and more connections with potential customers? If every day you felt more and more connection on your digital marketing channels? If you knew exactly what to say or share to get a launch going, or to sell a new offer you’re so excited to get out into the world? ​All of that is on the other side of your Magnetic Message.​ ​Discover yours with us in the Lab this week.​ x Chelle & Chelsea PS if you know you prefer more personalized attention and want to do a 2:1 Magnetic Messaging intensive, hit reply and we’ll send over the details! ​INSTAGRAM | TIKTOK | WEBSITE​​ | CHELSEA'S ​INSTAGRAM | ​BOOK A SESSION​ |

So last week I posted a story about how my latest podcast would help folks with content creation for the end of summer, and, well… I got a few DMs about the fact that it’s early August and summer is very much not ending. Which like yes, hi, true, and I do apologize for coming in with that violence. And but also… I want to tell you what I told them. I released that podcast in early August to make sure we’re all prepped, sorted and supported for whatever juicy sales activities we’re dreaming of...
Last Christmas, my sister-in-law got me a delightful paint by numbers kit. It was made by a company called Breathe People, and included digital resources to make the painting situation into a lovely little meditative experience. And like the small business nerd that I am, I creeped on their website as soon as I opened the box last weekend to get my paint on. Which leads me to the marketing + lead gen idea I want to share with ya. On their site, they have a Let’s Collaborate link that heads...
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,...
