Coco Chanel founded an empire on one signature offer--The LBD aka The Little Black Dress.

It’s what has made Chanel one of the most recognizable luxury brands for more than 100 years and the most influential fashion brand on social media with more than 57 million followers today.

Your signature offer is the LBD of your business.

It can be in the form of an online product, program, course or 1:1 service. Some examples are high-end masterminds, workshops, conferences, a product bundle, and retreats. Your signature offer is the anchor of your business from which all your other upsells and down sells are attached.

First, let’s get clear on the goal of this blog post. If you have never heard of a signature offer before now or never considered it as a staple in your business, this blog post will help you see for yourself …

This subject is a can of worms and each of those worms are walking their own tight rope.

Cultural appropriation or cultural misappropriation are the same thing.Basically it is the adoption of one or more elements of a culture by members of another culture.

We do it ALL THE TIME.

So when is ok? & when do the worms fall off that tightrope?

Cultural appropriation is not so great when there is a power dynamic at play, where members of a dominant culture cherry pick particular elements of from a culture that has been systematically oppressed by that dominant group.

So, say you really like Chinese food but never want to set foot in China? Probs not so great.Or you wear a sari to fancy dress party but you are not interested in understanding the life experience of the people of India, you just bor…

Mmmmmmmmm, this subject is tetchy. I love it, men not so much

Some people run & hide & some people just don't even know why they think the words that they speak. This last statement can be true in many aspects of our life its called programming. Programming is what were are gifted with when we start breathing our own oxygen into our very own little lungs as we are squeezed into this incarnation. Thanks to mum, dad, extended family, school, friends (so their parents by default) It gets digitally downloaded from the news and any other people that regularly wave their influencer wands in our faces. In the olden days it was via the radio or the idiot box, that programmed language is courtesy of my dad lol. Today we have the Webbasorous Wrecks and Grammers who battle to be elevated to status of Insta Influencer.

I digre…

This week was a fat week. totally hideous, I sh*t you not. I actually asked the Circle K not to serve me if I picked up any mini Snickers, bloated & grumpy I did not feel good. The chocolate inhalation is always the giveaway.... So possessed was I by essence of sloth on Wednesday that I couldn't even practice giving my mat side eye like it was judging me!!! & boy was my self talk good that day NOT.

Then the lower belly pain set in the cerebral lights went on & oh yeah that time of the month. Bali is too hot to snuggle with a hot water bottle. Periods suck they are a source of annoyance & yeah sure we can deal with feeling like shit but the necessary kit tampons etc are still an expensive punishment. Not sure why we (read men) still think these things are luxury items a its a bloody girl tax in full effect. We (the co…

What does a baby have to do with your business and with business coaches?Well for many of us our business is like another child to us.When you have children you will remember what it was like when you just had your first baby.For me, it was like this….With my first one, I felt very insecure, I wanted to know for sure that what I did was right, I read books, I asked my mother and for the monthly check-ups, I always went to the baby consultation bureau. In my country, they are THE authority for monitoring the growth and well being of your baby.When the visit came closer I prepared the book with all the questions they wanted to know about my daughter. This was the book where they monitored her growth. I always took it with me. When I wanted to know something they were the people I would talk to and I took their advice very serious…

Rising Brand of the year, how did that feel? Why do you think you won?

It was an honor to receive the 2020 Rising Brand of the year from The Los Angeles Business Journal presented by fashion icon Ilsa Metchek. This award is for everyone who has been part of our communal growth. It felt great and we appreciated it very much. The Los Angeles fashion scene is a very tight-knit community intertwined with manufacturers, fabricators, media, models, events, etc. SITA Couture is very proactive within the community and within the industry. We have been giving back since conception and I think people see this involvement and passion and want to celebrate it.

If you are like most of us out there, 2020 has not been friendly with sales. So how are you preparing for Black Friday this year? I have some ideas that could help you shape your content for the upcoming mega sales event. With businesses vying for customers' attention, the competition is going to be intense. Hence your content should hit the mark and stand out from that of your competitors.

Provide a sneak peekBlack Friday sale events are on the radar of every retailer and buyer in the USA. So don't delay-start promoting your sale well in advance. Create a short preview that gives your customers a quick peek into the kind of deals and offers they would enjoy on Black Friday. You can share short videos or visuals to convey the same.

Create a gift guideBlack Friday is a great time to invest in good content as the spending spree lasts…

We all have those days. You are out of coffee, you tripped over the dog and now your toe has it’s own heartbeat, and you are fresh out of “get it done.” Don’t worry, I’ve got you.

Here’s what you do. Pick out two or three recent customers/clients, and send them a little email/text/whatever.

“Hey Laura,

Quick favor? Would you write me a google review about your recent experience with me? It doesn’t have to be anything profound, just a few words about what success looked/felt like to you. I would be ever so grateful! Here is the link: (insert link here).”

Now go and read Laura’s words. You helped another human. You gave of yourself, and the result was success for another person! Now get out there and add value to another person’s life today. Because you can, and it’s what you wanted to do in the first place!<…
