đź‘€ that time I sold Eye Holes...



“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.

​Tenacity you’ve got, and once you join us in the Magnetic Messaging Lab you’ll have the messaging, too.​

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.​

I knew I needed to talk to Jonathan about the fact that I wouldn’t be able to contribute as much to rent this month. I’d known it for weeks, as my launch didn’t fill as quickly as I’d hoped, and person after person told me they were interested in the next round. Then, a 1:1 client’s payment failed, and I felt my body go rigid. I was terrified. I knew I needed to reach out to the client, but couldn’t do it from such a freaked out place. I knew I needed to make a plan for how we were going to...

“So I was just looking at joining this new program, have you heard of it?” I was sitting across from one of my good friends, a former client turned business bestie turned IRL friend, talking about our businesses and the things we were seeing in the online world, when I felt the pang of not-enoughness flush across my face. “Oh, yeah… I’ve heard of it, but I actually don’t follow her,” I took a gulp of water as my friend tilted her head, confused. “I just… whenever I see her stuff, it reminds...

Welcome to Emotions Are Expensive: the emotional cost of doing business and how to stop paying it. When I was thinking about how I wanted to talk about my new 1:1 offer The Empathy Edge, I kept thinking back on all the shit that has gotten in my way (and my clients’ ways) when it comes to making the kind of money we want to make in our businesses. And the biggest one isn’t messaging, it isn’t a shite offer, it isn’t a small audience… it’s the gnarly emotions and mind drama that come with...
