Tired of waking up and wondering, "What should I post today?" ✋ We've all been there—on the content hamster wheel, feeling behind before the year even starts, and trying to be on every platform at once. But here's the truth: You don't need a bigger team; you need a better focus. I'm officially on the mend and so excited to share how we are kicking off 2026 with total clarity. Today, we're putting the pieces together to create a realistic 90-day marketing plan that works with your life, not against it. Here is the 3-step framework we're using for Q1: Identify Your Core Offer: Stop splitting your energy across ten different ideas. Pick the "Big Rock" you want to launch this quarter and let that drive your revenue. The 3-Part Content Strategy: Connection: Share your mission, values, and story to build trust. Awareness: Address the myths, mistakes, and "whys" behind your offer. Video: Let your audience see you and hear you. It's the fastest way to build a real relationship. Design a Weekly Rhythm: Create a simple checklist (like my 15-minute Instagram routine) so you can execute even when you're exhausted or busy with the kids. Ready to dive deeper? Tomorrow, we officially start our High-Conversion Marketing 90-Day Boot Camp inside the Corporate Rescue Plan. You'll get our best training, tools, and templates to make 2026 your best year yet. ⏰ THE DEAL ENDS TONIGHT: You can join us for just $19. That's all the recordings from this challenge PLUS the full boot camp. Click HERE to grab the $19 deal before the doors close at midnight! 🥂 P.S. I'm also heading back to my "blogging roots" on Substack! I'll be sharing the behind-the-scenes of motherhood, purpose, and how I plan our family weeks.

🚀 STOP THE CONTENT HAMSTER WHEEL: Your 2026 Social Media Strategy Are you tired of staring at a blank screen, wondering what to post? Or maybe you're posting daily but feeling like you're shouting into a void? We're on Day 2 of our 2026 Launch & Plan Mini-Challenge, and today is all about moving from "haphazard posting" to a repeatable content framework that actually drives sales while fitting into your real life. The 3 Content Pillars for Results To see growth in 2026, you only need to focus on these three types of posts: 1. Connection Content: Share your "why," your mission, and your real-life lessons. Build the trust that turns a stranger into a fan. 2. Awareness Content: Highlight the mistakes, myths, and frustrations your audience faces. Use social proof to show them that you are the solution they need right now. 3. Video Content: Stop being a "content machine" and start being a person. Video is the fastest way to build a relationship and show your expertise. 💡 Pro Tip: Use AI as Your Inspiration, Not Your Replacement I love using ChatGPT to brainstorm 26 common myths or 14 curiosity-driven hooks. It saves time and beats writer's block every single time. But remember: start with your story and your values first. 🔥 JOIN THE BOOT CAMP (Doors Close Tomorrow!)

Are you tired of the "junk drawer" approach to your business? You know what I mean—the last-minute scrambling, the random launches, and that constant feeling of "hustle burnout" because you don't have a clear map for the year.   My goal for you in 2026 is simple: Clarity. Focus. Confidence.   We aren't just launching to stay busy; we're launching the right way. Whether you're a career coach, a mindset expert, or a product creator, you need a framework that allows for "Big Bang" moments and essential rest periods. Here is the 2026 Launch Secret: Quarterly Focus: One core focus per 90 days. Color-Coded Capacity: Mapping out "Purple" (Big) launches vs. "Mini" launches so you never hit a wall. Built-in Margin: Planning for creative downtime and family (like my Nature Club and homeschool days!) so you have the energy to serve your clients at the highest level. You don't need more complexity. You need a simple framework that turns your ideas into consistent income without sacrificing your sanity. Ready to clean out the junk drawer? For just $19, get the templates, the scripts, and the 90-day roadmap to make this your most successful (and restful) year yet.   https://classycareergirl.thrivecart.com/high-conversion-marketing-bootcamp/

Melanie Smith runs TWO businesses simultaneously: A Recruiting & Staffing Agency (TRG) A Coaching & Consulting Business AND she is finishing her undergrad degree. AND she is a mom. If anyone had an excuse to say "I don't have time," it was Melanie. But she joined the Classy Career Girl® Career Coach Certification anyway. Why? Because she needed structure to stop the overwhelm. Before certification: She was "serving everyone" and felt scattered between her two businesses. After certification: She has a clear "Recruiting Lane" and a "Coaching Lane." She uses the 90-day planning method to manage her time and has successfully launched sold-out VIP days. Melanie's advice? "We have a lot of issues with 'starting over,' but when I really look at it... you get to take all that experience with you and turn it into purpose." Don't let "busy" keep you from "fulfilled." Congratulations on your graduation, Melanie! We are so proud to have you representing CCG in Turks and Caicos!

🚨 Launch Your First Digital Product Before Black Friday! 🚀   I'm SO energized by your interest in this topic—it's truly awesome and important. Creating your first digital product is the single best way to go from employee to entrepreneur, and the time to launch is NOW!   💡 The Simple Truth: It All Starts with One Product.   In 2012, I was in my corporate cubicle, but dreaming of more. I launched my very first digital product: The Get Unstuck Boot Camp. I did something scary: I sold it before it was fully created. When that first sale came in (a $97 purchase from the UK!), I knew I had a market. I recorded it live, turned it into an evergreen course, and that single digital product became the foundation for everything: My business, Classy Career Girl, founded in 2010. The Corporate Rescue Plan membership. Helping over 6,000 women go from employee to entrepreneur. I'm teaching you my secret: The Profit and Purpose Framework to make an impact and income!   🎯 Your Goal: A Quick Win for a Big Transformation.   Your first digital product isn't about perfection; it's about progress and delivering a quick win. It should be the first step in your process—the thing your clients are always asking about. Stop waiting for slides, a fancy website, or a huge audience! You need Clarity and Courage.   🔥 My Recommended Launch Strategy: Sell It LIVE!   Create a 90-minute live workshop, sell tickets in advance (cash flow!), record it live, and then instantly repurpose it into a self-study course that sells forever. This validates your idea before you put in endless effort. (I once created 30 videos for a product no one bought—never again!)   🗓️ Black Friday is Your Deadline!   Why aim for Black Friday? Built-in Urgency: It provides a deadline to get your product done. Buyer Mindset: People are ready to buy—it's the easiest time to get your first sale! Instant Credibility: It positions you as a real brand. Cash Flow: Get a financial boost before the holidays. You don't need a huge list. You don't need complexity. You need a simple, clear offer!   📢 Ready to Stop Dreaming and Start Selling?   We're hosting the Black Friday Launch Challenge inside our Corporate Rescue Plan membership to get your first (or next) digital product ready to launch. In just 3 days (Nov 4th-6th), we'll help you: Clarify your offer and pricing. Write your sales emails and social media posts (using my 10+ years of templates!). Map out your full launch calendar. This support is all included in the Corporate Rescue Plan membership for just $39/month (you can cancel anytime!). Plus, members get our annual planning workshop! Don't let this perfect launch window pass you by. You can start making sales right from your laptop—just like I did in my cubicle. 👉 Join the Challenge & Start Launching!
