Ash In The Wild

The truth about impact 💥 My first step to writing for the internet (and eventually starting this business) was starting my blog in 2018. It felt very "ew cringe" at the time. But every week, I'd write personal essays about alll the feelings and wanting to be a Creative. The whole time, it felt like I was writing into a void with no one reading and no one taking me seriously. (And some weeks, I'd even let the self-doubt and lack of "views" stop me from publishing anything.) But I continued writing and building my body of work. Eventually, my first blog post landed me my first client... And sparked a chain of events that led to me starting my copywriting business full-time in 2020. Sharing this because when we first start creating or pivoting into something new... And it feels like we're gaining no views. No comments. No validation. And even losing parts of an existing audience... It's tempting to believe that what we're creating doesn't matter and we should give up. But earlier this year, I got an email from someone who stumbled on an old blog post then binge-read the rest. (Swipe to see*). The posts that I believed were reaching "no one" were actually finding their way to the screens of the people who needed to read them the most. If I'd let the self-doubt (and imaginary nay-sayers) stop me, I wouldn't have the business I have today. More importantly, my words would never have found their way to the people it was supposed to. I've said it before and I'll say it again (mostly to remind myself): 1) Your creations have impact - even if you can't always see it. 2) If you want to be a creative for the long-haul, you have to create. Even when the numbers fluctuate. Even when it feels like you're speaking into a void. Even when all the mud you're throwing at the wall just isn't sticking. Because you never know who will end up reading and passing your creations on to the next person who needs them. *shared with consent #freelancewriter #creativeentrepreneur #launchcopywriter #freelancingfemales #coursecreator #creativehobby #smallbusinessowner #entreprenuership #creatives #writersofig #onwriting #contentcreator

While it looks like I've got my snorkelling sh*t together -- not pictured is the literal sink-or-swim situation I found myself in 10 mins beforehand. On our first snorkelling stop - I found myself battered by the choppy waves, choking on mouthfuls of salt water, and forcing my cramping arms to paddle like my life depended on it (because it did). And I was ready to retreat to the safety of our hotel’s paddle pool.  But afterward, we went to a more serene snorkelling spot where the fish practically pose for selfies with you. There, I could rest. I had time to appreciate the coral and remember why I loved snorkelling so much. And I could even practice my duck dives! This wild snorkelling adventure got me thinking about what it's really like to be a business owner. I've spent the majority of my self-employed era diving into more sink-or-swim situations than I can count. From my first project, to my first launch, all the way to trying to find the right contractors to hire — I've had to dive head-first outta my comfort zone and into the deep-end, and then paddle vigorously to stay afloat. And I bet you have, too. Most of the time, it can feel like the tide is working against us. And when there’s no immediate lifeboat in sight, it can be tempting to throw up our arms and give up. But while getting out of our comfort zones is crucial for becoming a better business owner (after all, smooth seas don’t make skilled sailors) — I’m realising it’s ok to slink back to calmer waters every so often. To rest. To find the joy and remember what we love about business and why we got into it in the first place. So if you’ve been battling rough seas where it feels like the tide is always against you — don’t abandon ship just yet. Take it as a sign to drop anchor for a while, float on serene waters, an and rediscover why you started in the first place. Remember, every ebb has its flow. . . . . . . #freelancewriter #creativecopywriter #launchcopy #digitalproductlaunch #coursecreators #creativeentrepreneur #launchcopywriter #bali #snorkelling #onlinebusinessowner #businessadvice #freelancingadvice

Celebrating 6 months of married life with my partner in crime ❤ When people ask me what married life is like, I say: "It feels both utterly surreal and completely normal all at the same time." Surreal because I'm amazed at all the events that led us here. And normal because it feels like Ben has always been by my side. The past 6 months have been filled with new discoveries about each other's quirks. Escaping on many holidays. Binge watching tv shows in one night. Arguments over dishes, laundry, and who hogs the blanket the most. (PS. Our solution is to have 2 blankets). And while it's only a teeny, tiny toe dip into the pond of married life -- I can't wait to experience more surreal and normal moments life throws at us.

When I first started my business, I used to be so scared of selling. Which is kinda ironic because as a launch copywriter who's really good at helping others sell their courses, you'd think I'd be good at this too. But for a long time, I would curl up into a ball and hide. I didn't want to be annoying or alienate my audience. So I'd try to do it as subtly as possible and hoping that *one* caption would somehow convince someone to buy from me. But because I wasn't marketing or selling... I wasn't getting as many clients… Which meant I didn't get the revenue I wanted… Which meant I spent more time worrying about how to make money instead of focusing on what I *really* wanted to do - which was to make an impact. But then I heard this mindset shift that really helped me: Selling, when done ethically, isn’t bad. Selling is just a conversation between you and your prospect. It's all about empathising with the challenges they're facing and laying out the reasons why your course or product will help them. Because think about it: If you knew you had an amazing product that you *know* is going to transform someone's life for the better - why would you hoard it and keep it all to yourself? So if you've been scared to sell your courses or services, remember that selling isn't bad. It's about having empathy-driven conversations and getting your solution in front of more of the right people so you can change their life for the better. And if you've been wondering how to translate those conversations^ into your launch assets and sell in a way that doesn't give you the ick... My launch packages are all about pinpointing exactly what your audience needs to hear, identifying the best stories you should share, and creating empathy-driven sales assets that make your audience understand why you're worth buying from. Now booking for August.
