So often we carry around limiting beliefs around with us about our abilities - especially when it comes to creativity.
I myself have carried the limiting belief that I can't draw or paint for around 30 years! But no more, I've set myself a challenge to draw and paint every day for 30 days - will you join me to face your creative demons? You just need to do whatever scares you creatively for 15 mins a day for 30 days.
Tag me in your progress on Instagram with #creativeslurpchallenge. Let's smash those limiting beliefs holding us back creatively and mentally! And follow my progress to see if I can change how I feel about my artistic abilities!

You DON'T have to be on social media for your business.
Yup, I said it. I’m a marketing coach, but I don’t believe posting on social media should be a foregone conclusion for a business.
How did that make you feel?
I see so many small business owners bogged down by the obligation of making content for social media - totally burnt out by the amount of content they need to create, and then it’s not actually making a difference to the bottom line. And the reality is there are so many other ways of finding customers - many of them better - yet people still stay stuck in a kind of self-imposed social media jail without actually thinking of whether it’s adding value to their business.
The job of social media is to attract new customers to your business, to help them get to know you better and to keep you front of mind...is it doing that for you? if not, there will probably be other marketing channels and tactics that can do that better. Be open to new ways of working and give something else a go.
In my latest episode of Creative Slurp Podcast I give my views on social media:
- I explain why it’s not the be-all and end-all
- I talk about the big businesses that have already gone social free
- I show you how you can still get the benefits of social media without even having an account
- I spill the beans on two other methods of attracting customers and building your brand that I consider to be better
- I empower you to make the choice about social media that’s right for your business.
I'm not ‘anti-social media’ and yes, I do have social media accounts. But I also want to help business owners be intentional about making the best decision they can around their marketing strategy and where they spend their time.

If you hate talking about yourself, then approaching writing an about page for your website is probably way, way down on your list of priorities. It's probably on that list of things you know you really have to do. But really, do we have to do it right now? Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after that. And you know what? We all know that tomorrow never comes.
So why is writing an about Page so difficult? Well, if you're an introvert, as so many creatives are, it can be really hard trying to sell yourself when you're trying to put yourself out there and it can feel really uncomfortable. So in this episode, I'm going to talk about why you do need a good about page and a few tips on how to create one.
To find out more about my about page writing service (where I actually write it for you!) or when I'm launching my About Page mini-courses, then just drop me a line. You can get in touch here.

Episode 16: How to find YOUR brand voice
Story Slurp
04/05/22 • 18 min
What is a 'tone of voice'? It's the personality that we inject into our writing, to help people feel a certain way. Now, why is this important? Because when we market our businesses, we want to attract our perfect customers. And we also want to repel the ones we don't want because you can't appeal to everybody. I know it sounds counterintuitive, but there will be people who just don't resonate with you. And if they don't know you're not the right fit for them, they might start sending you email inquiries, come on calls with you or whatever. And that would just be a waste of both of your time, really, frankly, if they're not a good fit.
So the best way to avoid this is to create a tone of voice around your business and brand which will attract the right people.
Find out in this episode how to create and hone your very own unique tone of voice.

We all have a lot of baggage around writing emails to our customers and so many of us know how effective they are. We know that stats say that emails are 40 times more likely to sell our products than social media. We've heard how amazing email is at selling products, but for some reason we don't seem to be able to get ourselves started and put ourselves out there.
And I was the same when I started on email. I had this feeling that I was bugging my customers. I didn't want to be sending them an email every single week just saying here's a product, here's a product, here's a product, because it just felt so cold and empty and I just didn't want to be feeling icky when I was selling my products.
And to be honest, I didn't have that many products. So if I was going to be selling constantly, I didn't have that much to talk about, so it would get pretty boring. That's why I resisted sending emails to my customers for a long time. And what changed everything for me is realizing that I could talk about anything in my emails.
Find out how I write emails that my customers love in this episode of Creative Slurp.
