Recording from the November meeting
This week’s mini-masterclass was all about clarity. We set out to answer questions such as… What am I about? What is my message? Is my message reflected in my bio? Who is my message for? What do they feel and what do they want?

Hello! I just wanted to say how helpful this mastermind class was. I have completely revamped my messaging on my Substack pages following the class. Now, the pages read much more "like me" and the reader who I hope to attract, versus a generic listing of what I do or write about.
Thank you for the guidance and the confidence to tackle this element of Substack "back-of-house" content.
Cheers!
