I took this photo of the moon last night, sharpened and refined it a little and thought I'd share the result.

It has zero to do with business or marketing.
BUT, I did take it from Swadlincote, so that counts, right? 😅

Anyway, I thought it was pretty cool so I'm sharing it 😎

Anyone else been enchanted by the sky this week? 😍

It's January 2nd.
Right now, you have a choice.

You can spend 2026 hoping things work out for your business, reacting to whatever comes your way, and wondering why others seem to get ahead faster.

Or you can take control.

Hoping for success isn't enough.
Manifesting your next big sale isn't enough.

Success is built on strategy, not luck.
The businesses thriving now didn't get there by accident. They planned. They committed. They made it happen.

And that's exactly what we're doing on January 20th.

It's time to stop wishing and start doing. Write down those goals, transform them into actionable plans, and establish real accountability for your success.

Ready to push your business forward in 2026?

Join our focused (but relaxed and friendly 😉) morning session where you'll discuss, share, and plan your strategy with a supportive group of business owners ready to help you get there.

🗓️ Back to Business Goal-Setting & Growth-Planning Morning
📅 January 20th | 10am - 12pm

Walk away with a concrete plan, and the accountability to make this your year.

Spaces are strictly limited to ensure meaningful discussions and dedicated attention for every single participant.

The time to act is now. Not next month. Not when you "feel ready." This could be your year.

👇 Book your space now and make it happen in 2026.

Right now, your feeds are flooded with other small businesses celebrating their wins this year.

And that's wonderful.

Unless your business's future feels uncertain.
Unless you haven't found what works.
Unless you're pouring everything into it, every ounce of energy, every hour and still, the results aren't coming 😣.

I hear people's stories, trust me, you are NOT alone.

Social media lies. We all face setbacks. We all CHOOSE what we share and what we keep hidden.

Instead of drowning in the overwhelming workload ahead, do this instead:

Write down one clear goal for next year.

What's one small, achievable thing that would genuinely move the needle on your profit?

Now ask yourself: what skill do you need to make that happen?

THAT'S your focus for 2026

Let it be the year you develop yourself and master that one skill. So that this time next year, you're the one posting your wins.

Don't forget: success and wealth are NOT the same thing.

You started a business despite everyone questioning whether you should, whether it was the right time, whether you had what it takes, but you did it anyway.
And you're reading this right now because you're determined to make it work.

No one stumbles into success. You have to find the path yourself and it takes many wrong turns to get there

2026 could be your breakthrough year. Your home straight.

So give your fellow small businesses a like for the success that they celebrate, it hasn't been an easy ride and it definitely isn't the whole story, but they achieved something and they deserve to be proud.

Here's a Christmas feel-good story for you:

I finally made it to one of Swadlincote's favourite attractions last night - Grinch Cottage.

Chatting to Jonathan Fulford (aka Grinch) a couple of weeks ago on the Delph, he told me his story and how he believes every child should have the opportunity to take part in fun Christmas events, as well as see Santa but unfortunately the hefty pricetag of festive events means a lot of children miss out.

Jonathan put a stop to that, with a free event welcoming 100s (1000s?) of local children and their families to a wonderful experience, meeting the Grinch, discovering his cottage, and visiting Santa at the end where they received a gift.
The effort that they had gone to was so impressive, and the whole team of volunteers were committed to their roles in making the experience as fun as possible.

At the end they welcomed donations where all proceeds went to Wishes for Kids ❤️

I'm in awe, honestly.

Thank you Jonathon and team for making a difference in our community and reminding people what Christmas is all about.

Also, a little birdie tells me we may see Grinch again when it's a little warmer... Keep your eyes out people 👀 ❤️

5 days to go!!! 🎄

I've had a marathon few weeks trying to get ahead with all client work so that I can step away and enjoy Christmas with my family - and I'm nearly there!

I still have a final few things on my to-do list but I'm certainly feeling the Christmas spirit now and embracing all the sights, sounds and family time that Christmas brings ❤️

How are you all getting on? Do you 'break-up' for Christmas?

Have you signed off already?

And if anyone has recommendations of super Christmassy events or must-visit places locally now that the kids have broken up, please drop them in the comments ☺️ 🎄

Yes, this is potentially the most chilled I've ever been, but I promise I was actually working!!

Last week, Kera Robson Photography and I spent the morning with Kerry Thornewill , who is in the process of launching her rebranded business. I mapped out her marketing strategy and social media content plan while Kera captured shots that aligned with her website and marketing goals.

When Kerry needed a 'client' for her facial treatment photos... well, I wasn't going to say no to that, was I? 😎

This is what happens when you invest in getting your brand right - strategy, visuals, and apparently very relaxed marketing consultants 🤣

Kerry is all set with a library of stunning images to reuse and repurpose across all her marketing, plus a goal planner to keep her priorities on track and a tailored content plan designed to capture every stage of her customer's journey.
She's got lots of exciting updates coming soon, but I won't give too much away. I know she'll absolutely smash it and I can't wait to follow her progress. ☺️

Here's something most people don't realise: that 30 seconds it takes you to leave a review? It can change everything for a small business.

When you review a local shop, that coffee place you love, or the person who fixed your car, you're not just leaving stars on a screen.

You're telling other people, "this is worth your time." You're helping someone's business appear when neighbours search online. You're giving them something to smile about on the hard days (and trust me, there are hard days).

Small business owners pour everything into what they do. They remember your order, they stay late to get things right, they genuinely care when you walk through their door and in my experience, they rarely ask for reviews so as not to inconvenience you. 😢

But here's the cold, hard truth: reviews are how small businesses compete with the big chains. They're how we survive algorithms that favour companies with endless marketing budgets. They're proof that we matter to this community.

Reviews are VITAL for small businesses - not only for building trust with real people, but also for signalling to AI that we're worthy of a recommendation.

So this Christmas, if a small business made your life a little better, helped you choose a meaningful gift, gave you great service, solved a problem, or just made you feel welcome - leave them a review.

It takes less time than wrapping a present, costs you nothing, and means absolutely everything.

With love, from small businesses everywhere xx
