Nail Your Message & Find Your BIG IDEA

(Finally!) nail your message, package your work into a big idea, and craft the perfect words to differentiate yourself like a QUEEN (even if you’re in a similar field as everyone else and have no idea how to stand out & sound fresh)

Does Your Message Sound Like a Mouthful of Jargony, Rambly Goop? (And You’re Like, Haha, Joke’s On You, I Don’t Even HAVE a Message, Champ.)

Trying to figure out how to package your work into one BIG IDEA can feel like mission impossible—especially if you’re just starting out and trying to get a grasp on what the heck you want to be known for. (And how on earth to describe it in a way that’s fresh, interesting, and succinct.)

Do any of the following sound like your current nightmare? 😅

1. That whole 15-second pitch thing? Sounds more like a 10-minute ramble of doom.
You have a general idea of what you want to say, but you’re still missing clarity and it’s painfully noticeable every time you try to describe who you are and what you do. There must be a more elegant & powerful way to put this?! (PLEASE, LORD DICTIONARY.)

2. You tried writing the copy for your website, but HAHAHAH, (a) Torture, and (b) It all kinda sounds like a bigggg, meandering, long-winded digression.
“Welcome to my website, hardy har har har har!”—anndddd then you face palm. You’re lacking direction & succinctness, which totally happens to EVERYONE at this stage. When you don’t have a clear message, you end up wandering all around the page and your ideas get lost. (And so do your darling readers.)

3. You don’t want to sound like everyone else, but you also just don’t know what else to say to sound fresh, compelling & interesting.
You’re supposed to “differentiate yourself,” but how? Everything has been taken, or at least it feels that way. You worry you aren’t original enough to get noticed. But, you also don’t know how to solve that problem.

4. You’re totally overwhelmed by perfection paralysis.
Not being able to nail this is seriously getting in the way of your progress. You can’t move forward until you nail your messaging, but right now it feels like you might be waiting another 100 years before you finally figure out the perfect way to “word it.”

5. You’d rather eat giant, hairy cockroaches than read your own bio aloud.
Yup. Say no more. Writing about yourself only serves to highlight your own uncertainty about what in the living hell you are doing or why anyone should care. 🥴

Oh, and let’s not forget lucky number 6: Not being able to nail your messaging is delivering a serious blow to your confidence. Imposter syndrome is kicking in harder than ever, telling you that your business idea isn't going to work out. But, that’s just because you haven’t figured out how to talk about that idea yet. But, once you do? All that confidence runs right back into your veins. Turns out, how you describe your work not only affects how valuable others perceive it as, but how valuable you perceive it as. Not being able to talk about your idea = massive source of imposter syndrome.

Isn’t that the ugly, sebum-filled truth? (Ugh, sebum.)

A memorable, sticky message is often the missing piece of the puzzle: it doesn’t matter what you do, the way you package what you do is a game-changer. There might be one-hundred other people in your sphere who do the same exact thing as you, but you know who’s going to attract all the followers, fans & clients?

The person with the message that excites the most.

When you have an exciting, buzz-worthy message, it produces an instant chain reaction: way more Instagram followers, way more clicks, way more subscribers, way more interest in your work, way more clients, way more fanfare, way more word-of-mouth, way more reputation, and, of course, way more money.

Your messaging does the heavy lifting for you. 🏋️‍♀️

And you know what else happens when you have an exciting message that’s memorable & sticky & soundbite-able?

  • On average, customers spend twice as much every year 2️⃣.

  • They recommend your stuff 1.5 times more!

  • They’re wayyyy less price sensitive: they’re 2.3X more likely to pay premium rates—and not balk at the cost (a game-changer if you’ve struggled with push back for even basic invoices)

  • Your brand gets shared all over the internet without you even having to do anything 🔥

  • You get invited to speak, contribute, be on podcasts, dance with the wolves (that’s code for “attend fancy retreats in Norway")

  • Your reach explodes with far less effort—and zero ad spend, if you’re really hardcore

  • And, your average annual revenue goes through the ROOF *makes sign with fingers*

*From a study from The Harvard Business Review titled The New Science of Customer Emotions.

A Cohesive, Brilliant Message Will Rev Your Confidence, Crank Sales Up to 90mph & Make Customers Line Up Around the Block—But Without That Message, the Same Person Doing the Same Work, With the Same Level of Talent, Will S-t-r-u-g-g-l-e 😾

Great! Yes! Count Me In! I Need to Package My Work Into a Juicy, Meaty, Message Steak! (Once I Figure Out What That Is, Ahem.)

Chances are, you may have struggled with your message meat* in the past because:

  • You’ve lacked clarity around your offer—and therefore are having big-time trouble describing it 🤔

  • You don’t have a ton of experience yet, so you’re not entirely sure what your message IS (“ummmm, hire me???????”)

  • You aren’t necessarily that much “different” from other people in your field, so how are you supposed to be unique? (This leads to you picking a frivolous niche, like “copywriting for birdhouse makers and other aviary enthusiasts,” as a way to solve that problem—but then you’ve pigeonholed yourself, and you use bad bird puns to top it off)

  • You don’t really address why someone should come to YOU, specifically, out of all the other options in the world (mostly because you aren’t really sure)

  • You’re trying to compete on “better” instead of giving yourself your own category with no competitors (this is a common problem with an easy solution, once you know how this works)

  • Your message fails the “see, touch, poke” test—essential for crafting a message that emotionally resonates with an audience

  • You focus too much on what makes you awesome, rather than your results, so you end up sounding like a desperate teenager trying to be liked

  • You don’t have any results yet (though you do have heaps of imposter syndrome, thanks)

  • You have no idea what your brand positioning should be

  • You have no idea what your value proposition is

  • You didn’t know you needed to determine those things, first 😅

  • You’ve taken a million and three stabs already but now you just feel like you’re going in circles and you’ve lost all perspective and what was your name again??? The Real Slim Shady is collapsed in front of the computer.

*Meanwhile, the other Slim Shady just said “message meat” on a sales page.

“By the end of the bootcamp, I had my homepage, bio, lead magnet and contact pages written! Ash is not only a magician with words, but she inspires you to give your best. When Ash comes to you with an invitation to join her in whatever crazy thing she is doing, please, do whatever you need to do and give yourself one of the most beautiful gifts you can give yourself: a time to be your most creative self.” —Tarot Consultant Jasmin Fernandez

When You’ve Got a Sticky Message, You’ve Got 1,000x More Internet Horsepower

A sticky message does the selling for you online.

It’s clients automatically wanting to work with you without even speaking to you first. It’s premium rates customers are excited to pay. It’s a wait list that goes on for a year. It’s no push back, no questions, just show me where to sign. It’s magazine editors wanting to feature your work. It’s literary agents calling you on the phone. It’s getting invited to speak on stages, at companies, on retreats. It’s like having a thousand people working for you 24/7, telling the world how wonderful you are. (That’s called social media!)

It’s the difference between being viewed as a dime-a-dozen freelancer, versus a thought leader in your field.

It’s the difference between being known for what you do, and being invisible.

It’s the difference between small success and BIG success.

And it’s the difference between getting online and getting BANK.

 FAQs

 
  • Your message is one cohesive BIG IDEA that you use to package your work & differentiate yourself in the marketplace. It’s that BIG IDEA you want to be known for, which elevates you from hundreds or thousands of competitors doing the same work. For example, while Brene Brown is a psychologist, she’s known for The Power of Vulnerability. That’s her main message—and it’s what she’s built her empire on. Everything from her copy to her talks to her products is built around this idea. That’s what gives her such a massive reputation. Jen Sincero’s YOU ARE A BADASS is a similar concept: the book inside is really just a self-help book that could have been packaged any which way. But it was the packaging of the concept of “BADASS” that made the book a massive bestseller. That’s the message: the backbone of your business. You then use that to build everything, from your copy to your offers to your talks and beyond. It’s sort of like a theme, if you will, that’s worded in such a way that makes people instantly “get” it, love it, want it. Without a solid, compelling message, you run the risk of disappearing into the crowd and being invisible, particularly in an online landscape that depends on your ability to stand out from the noise.

  • You bet! This program is like two programs in one: first, we work to find your message, then we figure out how to put it into words that’ll instantly resonate, and then we take that theme and use it to flesh out all-new copy for your website. Inside, we cover your homepage, homepage headlines, homepage crossheads, your opt-in and newsletter, your sales pages, your product descriptions, your contact page & footer, and—drum roll—THREE versions of your professional bio: long, short and micro for use on a variety of contexts, i.e. your About Page, your social media, your Linked In, when someone asks you to send over your bio for a podcast, etc. 🌟 In fact, there’s over 4 hours of training on this alone!

  • YUP. You’ll get instant access to the entire bootcamp upon purchase. You can go through it at your leisure, on-demand style.

  • Video screencast! You’ll walk with me “over my shoulder” through all sorts of writing exercises, explanations, transformations, and examples. Then, I’ll prompt you to try it out for yourself! It’s like being there next to me at the computer.

  • All students are entitled to a thirty (30) day refund from the date of purchase.
