  Ever wonder if it really is time to get a proper job? A few years ago my online fitness business was stuck. I was putting in all of the hours but never seemed to make the money I wanted each month. Nobody was buying from me. Surely it shouldn’t be this hard. Well, what if I told you that it doesn’t have to be? You can have a business where customers are thrilled to buy from you. Where you can have a consistent monthly income without working all the time. And would you believe you can have ALL of this in place in just 2 months from now? I’ve spent my life bringing people together to achieve a shared goal. In 2013 I turned my popular blog into a business and nurtured a community of plus size runners enabling me to have my first 6 figure year as a coach. My Tribe Builder blueprint for creating and monetising online communities helps solopreneurs to successfully do the same for their business ventures. In the past 5 years… • I’ve leveraged my brand story to secure PR in more than 50 countries worldwide, having a 6-week segment on ITV’s This Morning, and appeared on The Today Show driving millions of potential clients to my website. • I’ve used my award winning blog and online community to attract hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of funding and sponsorship, as well as exciting travel opportunities and high end products for both me and my customers. • I’ve empowered existing clients to become brand ambassadors, to develop joint ventures and become associates to help build my team and boost growth By revealing my business model and marketing strategy I show that it doesn’t have to take a whole heap to time and money to get a fast return on investment and recurring monthly income that makes a massive difference to how you run your business. If you are a coach, speaker or blogger who wants to grow your customer base, make more money and have a business you can be proud of then get in touch to discuss how we can work together Show less
