The Mindset Shift That Helped Me Book More Clients

2024/01/21

Ok Guys, I recorded this episode fresh off the plane from the USA and I was in a super productive, thriving mindset. I had even unpacked my suitcase and cleared my emails! I hadn't felt like this in a long time, so it made sense to record this episode on mindset. TBH the New Year's fever hadn't hit me and I was just too tired to set my goals and forecast the year. And I think we just need to give ourselves permission to relax, take it easy - we don't need to subscribe to the New Year hype

Outsourcing vs Hiring a Coach

Dishing Up Digital with Ellen Mackenzie ·

2024/01/14

Today is all about Outsourcing vs Hiring a Coach. I, in no way, prefer one over the other, but instead it's more about the timing of them. You guys know I'm an advocate for outsourcing and how essential it is for business owners who want to scale. Any time I've reached an income cap or I haven't been able to reach a certain goal, hiring a specialist or a contractor has been the way to help me break through that boundary. However, I think that hiring a coach can be another way to break those

What is a UGC Creator vs a Social Media Manager?

Dishing Up Digital with Ellen Mackenzie ·

2023/12/10

This year the use of the term UGC has skyrocketed in the marketing world. If you haven't heard of it before, UGC stands for user generated content. Typically this has referred to brand-specific content made on social media by customers. For example, I bought a new handbag this year from one of my favourite brands, Strathberry, and I posted a little unboxing on Youtube shorts. This isn't a sponsorship, I'm just a customer sharing what I bought. Brands have long known the power of this kind
