Design and Print Business cards on Canva + unboxing

Design and Print Business cards on Canva + unboxing

It was time for a new business card and I was running a Canva + Creativity course for my students so I thought I’d show them (and you) my Canva design process, how to order prints in Canva and then, how long it takes to arrive + the unboxing!

There are 2 videos in this set: the design and ordering and then the unboxing.
Enjoy!

designing and ordering prints

I ordered on the 5th of April and they arrived on the 11th of April. I didn’t request express post or pay for it but it has an express label on it. There were also 2 days of public holiday over Easter. 

They can and look exactly like the preview. 

In the button below is the Canva design I used if you’d like to use it too and below there’s the unboxing vid:

Got any questions? 
Have you printed using Canva before?

How to be magnetic and attract your ideal clients

How to be magnetic and attract your ideal clients

When you are sharing information about your offers, creating social media posts, sending emails and trying to grow your business, it is best to stay out of the grasping, clinging energy field.

Here is my tip for the best way to attract and magnetise your ideal clients.

Tell me what you think!

Why I’m never busy

Why I’m never busy

“How are you?”“I’m so busy” This is the most common line I hear in conversation especially with business people and mums. It’s definitely a thing I used to say a lot and now I try not to say it at all. If I feel like I am about to say “I’m busy” I take a moment to...

Are You Creative?

Are You Creative?

Are you creative?  I pose this question to you for reflection. I have my own opinion about it.  If you are alive you are creative.  If you are in business you are creative. The old paradigm of our society tells us that creative people make art and then that art gets...

There are already so many people doing what you are doing

There are already so many people doing what you are doing

I know it can be off-putting when you see how many people are doing the thing you are doing. There are already so many counselors, business mentors, astrologers, naturopaths, hypnosis practitioners, coaches, weight loss coaches, kinesiologists, sound healers and energy workers.

It’s all been done already.

But none of them is YOU.

You are the lens that the modality shines through.

Your particular set of:

  • Past experiences
  • Personality
  • Intelligence
  • Wit
  • Humor
  • Care
  • Intention
  • Energy
  • All culminate in the lens which is you. 

It is inimitable. 

It is important.

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST

These are all words.

Easy to say but sometimes hard to experience.

They became my lived experience when I did the Most Wuthering Heights day ever dance troupe one year. 

We all learned the choreography as a group – the same moves, the same song. Of course, the preoccupation is with getting the moves “right”.

One week, our guide asked us to break into 2 groups. One group would perform for the other half and then swap. 

When I sat down to watch the other group I noticed that some people were nailing the choreo and some were not. 

But that was not the gold. 

The exceptional beauty of the moment for me was seeing each woman interpret the dance through her own physique. Her own way of moving and her own expression of the dance.

Every single one of them moved me to tears because in that moment I could taste the essence of them as individuals based on the way that they were all different.

It’s the way that we ARE.

WE don’t have to do anything.

We just need to BE our actual selves.

It’s the same with you and your modality. 

Yes – there are already so many people doing what you are doing. 

But none of them is you. 

It’s what you bring to the process that is so delicious. Especially to your ideal clients.

When they see you in a video, or hear your voice, or read your writing, there’s an acknowledgement, a recognition.

“Here is the energy field I need to be immersed in to grow with on this next step in my journey”

Their inner knowing senses you – recognises  your energy and wants to move ahead with you. 

They don’t care about any other practitioner in the world. 

Their energy needs your energy to make the next transformation in their life. 

In science, each element combines with other elements to make new compounds. 

If I am lead, and you are zinc and the client is calcium, each of us makes 3 different, new compounds. And each of the compounds is important and unique. (I know nothing about science – I probably just set off a stink bomb 🙂

You don’t need to try to be lead. I don’t need to be calcium. 

When we allow the layers to peel off so we can be our most true selves and then share our true self online, our future clients can find us.

 

This is the work.

Your offer

Your offer

What do you offer your clients?

Your offer is the solution you deliver, and it’s also your service that you promote.

It’s the way you serve others and it’s the way you make money in your business.

Generally when I’m supporting women in business I’m seeing 2 things:

  1. Making offers all the time and not sharing content
  2. Not making offers at all and just sharing content

It’s ideal if you create regular content as a creative practice and act of service. 

Ultimately, you are going to have your own “Why” about creating content that will sustain you through any discomforts as you experience them (they will come!).

And so, if you are the number one kind of goddess, I would encourage you to consider a daily creation practice. Like my mentor George Kao says:

“Your content can be your public journaling to clarify how you feel and think about aspects of your work”

It doesn’t have to be perfect, but it is great if you can create some non-promotional content. 

If you post 7 days a week, maybe 2 posts could mention working with you. Otherwise, your audience will feel like your conversations with them are transactional and that you are always trying to get them to do your “thing”. 

If you aren’t making offers, number 2 goddess, I would encourage you to ALWAYS be mentioning one thing per week. If you aren’t clear on your paid service yet that might be your newsletter list sign up, a free trial session or a market research chat. 

If you are providing services, then you need to make a certain percentage of what you share with the world actually mentioning how people can work with you. They want to work with you and you are basically stopping their growth + evolution if you don’t tell them how they can work with you. 

Other concerns people have about their offer is around pricing.

I have spoken before about Compassionate Pricing. This can be pay what you can, or just affordable pricing that still allows you to feel fairly remunerated and feed your family. Read more deeply about Compassionate Pricing HERE

Other concerns that I have about people’s offers relate to: “how did you figure out what your offer is?”

Did you just pluck it out of thin air, or receive a download? Or did you base it on intel from your customers and prospective customers?

If your offer is not aligned with what your audience actually wants they will not buy. The easiest way to figure out what your audience wants is to ask them. I have a whole rant on using this important marketing tool HERE.

And if you have done market research, and the offer still isn’t selling, maybe you just need to keep experimenting…

I like to chunk my offers up and down. What do I mean? There are 2 options:

Break your offer down into a really small version like a 30 minute session, or an email consult. You can sell the first module of your program or the first chapter of the first module. You can sell one month of a six month program. Make sense?

Bundle your offer into a VIP package. Just like my 1-1 VIP package is a combo of web design done for you and 1-1 Strategy Mentoring with all the courses and a bush flower essence session. All of the courses are selling as self paced and it’s easy to pop them into the bundle. Which bits of your offer can you bundle up into a VIP package?

What other questions do you have about your offer? I would love to chat more about these so please comment or message/email me with more questions.
