Hilary asked us what is going well in our business and life and what is holding us back? She shared with us the ReLaunch Recipe for Change and its formula which is the foundation and asked if our vision for the future is super clear. Hilary recommended we have a plan and know our WHY behind it. Of interest is 95% of our decisions are made by our subconscious mind and that we need to OWN our energy. We have the ability to change our thoughts and have 60,000 thoughts an hour and 2000 visual images. Questions to think about: 1. What we are propagating? 2. If we could re-imagine three areas of our business / life what would they be and what is one small step we can take? Hilary said that stress is fear and resistance and that we CAN go from transition to transformation!
Has the uncertainty of COVID left you feeling stuck, fearful and in doubt about your business? Is the fear of transitioning your business digitally left you feeling anxious?
The Grand Connection is thrilled to have Hilary DeCesare, CEO of The ReLaunch Co. join us from San Francisco to share her wisdom on mastering the unstuck mindset and transforming your business. Discover how to hit the reset button to become a powerhouse of possibility.

Kimberley Day demonstrated step by step how easy it is to create creative images with Canva to attract ideal clients. We discovered how simple it can be!
Kim said that lead magnets are an integral part of our sales funnel and need to be enticing and provide great value! Why? To build trust and authority. She told us we can start teaching our prospects, provide advice so they know, like and trust us and choose to go on our email list. To move them down the sales cycle.
Kim shared that we need to know our prospects’ pain points and how we can help them to have a quick win. She said we can create lead magnets with designing customized checklists, a Facebook Business Header or a full workbook on Canva.
Sherri-Lee Woycik shared that Facebook is a powerful tool to create relationships that last with these 4 steps. She shared that there are 2.2 billion people on Facebook with 60 million active business pages. She told us people want to be educated, informed and be distracted from real life. Her recommendation is for 80% of the content be engaging, fun and interactive and 20% to share your products, sales or promotions.
The 4 steps to attract more clients: The name of your page needs to speak to your ideal prospects and the outcome they want to achieve. Your profile image is best to be a clear picture of you. Your cover image can tell a story in pictures and is best to be changed every week. Sherri-Lee says the image can represent who you are, what you do and speaks to your ideal clients. For your content post everyday and stack up your newsfeed. Start with a quote, post engaging questions, inspiring content to get likes, comments and shares. Create connection and rapport and reply to all comments. And finally FB live for your educational and promotional post.
We all have something we want to sell, a book, our coaching, or ourselves. Judy will reveal how when someone on a plane asked her, “What do you do?” The way she answered that questioned netted her over $160,000.

Magnetize your Facebook Page to Attract More Clients With Ease! With Sherri-Lee Woycik – Facebook Ads and Marketing Expert
Facebook is a massive platform with over 2.2 billion active users, and so many people seem to be making so many connections and tonnes of money without putting in as much effort you feel you are… or so it seems.
There are many factors to consider when marketing on Facebook and you don’t even need to do all the steps, but without being visible, how will anyone even know you and your business page exist?
One of the first things you need to do is to make sure your Facebook page speaks to your ideal prospects, so that they know who you are, what you do and why they should like your Facebook page!
In this 30 minute presentation, Sherri-Lee Woycik will share with you the top 4 steps to take to create a client attracting magnet on your Facebook page, so you can spend less time and money marketing and really start creating meaningful connections with your prospects on Facebook.
In the Mastermind break out groups we will focus on sharing feedback and ideas regarding our own facebook pages and engagement.
Please come prepared with your one minute (elevator speech) for the Real-Time Connections and breakout sessions.
