I've been having a few sh*tty weeks. Maybe you can relate.
Can I be real with you?
I have been having a sh*tty few weeks.
In the last 2 weeks, 3 members of my team are now no longer with us for various reasons.
Our ad costs went up by 400%.
Our webinar tech platform failed.
Our wedding vendors are now at the last minute trying to change our signed contract 2 months before the wedding.
And when I tried on my wedding dress, I didn't love it and parts of it were unfinished with uneven seams.
It just felt like everything was happening at once, even though I was trying to start 2024 with these big goals and new energy.
But like any entrepreneur, we all know that it's less about the day-to-day sh*tty moments, and learning to "ride the waves" of the highs and lows.
Last night, after a long 12 hour day, I had one of those beautiful moments that made all the sh*tty ones worth hit.
Last night's PR Starter Pack coaching call was one of those moments that reminded me that all the ugly cries, bad days, and those difficult years were 100% worth it.
Every small business owner who showed up, supported each other, made all of us feel seen, shared what was working for them in their business, and we celebrated their wins while cheering on those who are awaiting their "big break!".
Which is why our PR members are constantly seeing wins like:
—Samantha Ong, founder of Joeydolls, made it onto Buzzfeed just by applying what she learned from our program!
And she immediately used this to create a blog post for her own website, and social media content for her Instagram (where you can also see her other features in The Spruce, Good Housekeeping, and on podcasts!!)
One feature can lead to multiple pieces of powerful content when repurposed!!
We had another member on last night's call who was trying to get onto Buzzfeed as well, so Samantha shared her process! Sharing is caring!
She also found that many of her new customers are coming from Google! Which just goes to show how important your SEO ranking is!
—Dr. Misty Freeman who was featured in an amazing article about how biases in AI is deepening the digital divide :
—Clean beauty founder Marilou Hamer showed us the power of global PR with her French features below :
Considering we have so many Canadian members in our program, this is something to keep in mind--- VISIBILITY IS GLOBAL!
What do these founders who got incredible media wins have in common?
NO pay to play.
NO affiliate commissions given.
NO preexisting relationships with the media.
Just a commitment to their mission and vision and getting direct coaching and PR help inside of our our PR program.
