Business Survival for Creatives

Business

As I sit here staring at the curser, I keep wondering how can I be of value now more than ever. How can I help you create strategies for business survival while working from home.
 
There is so much going on in the world and I for one didn’t think we’d be going into 2020 with a global crisis, did you?
 
I was optimistic, dare I say Brexit was kind of behind us and the future was looking bright, okay, okay, better. But now how do we plan for the unknown. Or how to be plan our business strategies while working from home with so much uncertainty.
 
We all know that being freelance or an entrepreneur brings many highs and lows. For some this may be the first blow, but for many, who are still recovering from the last economic crash, it is more than we can bear.
 
It does leave you wondering what should you be doing in a time like this. How do you survive this time, even thrive, thinking of ways to future proof your business.
 
All I can think about is how this is affecting every type of business, the frustration, fear and anxiety that many are feeling, that I am feeling.
 
Determine to be of value, I wanted to share my thoughts, and give you the encouragement and support you need to take the steps required to keep moving forward in this troubling time. I kept thinking, how can working from home help you create strategies for your business survival?
 
Let’s use this time as a resource to pivot, grow and expand. Look back over your business and see the gaps. Use this time to fill them, take this crazy, scary circumstance that we all find ourselves in, and use it as an opportunity to breathe and dream again.

 

I’ve created a little business survival guide to help with ideas, tips and social planning during this uncertain time.
 

Tips for freelancers and entrepreneurs

 

You are not alone

 
Now more than ever is not the time to hide away, especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed, confused and lonely. Now is the time to seek a community. A place where you can vent, ask questions and plan for when this does pass. There are many ways to do this, join a Facebook group, create a weekly webinar with like-minded people, do live shoutouts on Instagram. Get creative and stay active.
 

Update your business platforms

 
The only downtime freelancers and entrepreneurs usually get in January. The rest of the time we are so busy working, that our admin, personal projects and updates get left to the wayside. Now is the time to look over your business platforms, website, social media, LinkedIn, and start to fill in those gaps.
 
During this quieter period, you could revisit your contracts, email templates, web copy, portfolio…all those things you’ve meant to get around too. Stay positive, get prepared for when things get busy again, remember how hectic daily life and your business can get.
 

Don’t shrink away

 
What do you post in this uncertain time, it’s hard right now, for everyone, but it’s essential to show up and stay connected. Continue to share, post content that lets people in, share your vulnerability, and life on the inside of your business. Your presence matters and people are interested in you and your business; I KNOW it’s hard, scary, overwhelming, but you can it.
 
You don’t have to rush in, share a little each day. Support others, offer your services, share alternative perspectives, work through challenges that are inevitable during this time. Vulnerability is what connects us all at this moment in time.

What Makes This Different:

Let's Cut the Fluff
and Get You Moving

Look, you already know what you're supposed to do. Post consistently. Raise your prices. Show up on video. Network more. Build systems.

The problem isn't knowledge; it's actually putting it into practice.

That's where I come in. My coaching isn't about giving you more tactics to add to your overwhelm. It's about figuring out what's actually stopping you (usually it's psychology, not logistics) and dismantling those blocks.


Here's how it works:

EMCC Award Winner | 25 Years Self-Employed | Dual Master's in Psychology & Coaching | England-Based

We spend 90 minutes digging into what's really holding you back. I'll ask the questions you've been avoiding asking yourself. We identify the root cause, not the surface symptom.

Then we build your action plan. Not a 47-page strategy doc you'll never look at. Three to five specific actions you'll take in the next week. With accountability.

You'll also receive my resource kit, which includes the actual systems, templates, and contacts I use in my business. Plus 7 days of access to me on Slack to keep momentum going.

Fair warning: I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear. I'm going to tell you what you need to hear.

NOTES

SOCIAL MEDIA CONFIDENCE CREATOR 

Louise  - COACHING

I cannot thank Jerri enough for helping me find my way when setting up my new beauty business. Not an easy business to set up in the middle of a global pandemic!!!!
Her enthusiasm for business and marketing is second to none. Her knowledge in social media blew my mind and helped me engage in a wider audience and even gave me the confidence to do my first ever live Instagram.

The coaching she provides just fills you with excitement and positivity. I cannot recommend Jerri’s coaching program enough. I promise you will not be disappointed

GAYLE - BRAND SHOOT


Jerri, I honestly can't thank you enough for today. It was amazing to be in such a positive environment. You've given my confidence a real boost and I'm beyond happy with these visuals they are going to transform my blog, site and socials.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!


CONFIDENCE CONTENT BOOSTER

Anna- Coaching

Before meeting Jerri, I was struggling to get my new creative shop off the ground, but since our meeting she has moved my business forward by helping me to build my confidence with promoting, marketing and finding my customer base, all these essential elements which unknown to me were important for my business to be a success. I found her attitude very professional, and she made it fun and easy to understand, I can now use all the knowledge to help my business continually grow with confidence. I would happily recommend Jerri to anyone who is stuck in moving forward or looking for new creative ideas in getting their business on the map. I am extremely grateful for her support and guidance.

HOLISTIC BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT 

GAME CHANGER FOR MY CONTENT

LIZ - BRAND SHOOT

These images are a game-changer for my content and they're legit made me feel excited about the next stage in my business!!! These feel so aligned with the 'next level me' so grateful.

Trisha- COACHING

 "Working with Jerri was a very opening and supportive experience. I was completely stuck in my business, holding down a family, and two jobs made me an emotional wreck; each day, I was anxious because I didn't want to waste time focusing on the wrong steps. Jerri provided space for me - showing empathy and understanding - which was powerful. The session allowed me to confront my fears, work through barriers and provide actionable steps to move me forward. It was so helpful to work with someone genuinely passionate about helping others achieve their dreams. Thank you, Jerri, for your encouragement and expertise -
 I will be forever grateful."


PRICING, PACKAGE AND CULTIVATING CONFIDENCE

Rachel -COACHING


"My session with Jerri was precisely what I needed to build my confidence and show up online during live chats. Jerri helped me develop creative and easy-to-follow ideas to help promote my business. Hearing her angle gave me the motivation I needed to open and express myself online freely and in alignment with my personality. The call was just the beginning, and I'm grateful for the coaching, support, examples, tools, insights, and compassion delivered by Jerri."



SHOWING UP WITH CONFIDENCE


I was trying to launch my beauty business in the middle of a pandemic and had no idea where to start with marketing.

After working with Jerri, I did my first Instagram Live with confidence, expanded my audience significantly, and am now fully booked. Jerri's social media expertise and coaching style filled me with excitement instead of dread.
