Reading minds is the real superpower I always wanted


Hey Reader,

When I was about 10, I was obsessed with Sabrina the Teenage Witch. (Nickelodeon fans unite!)

I actually rewatched it recently—still holds up.

But I digress.

One thing I always wished for, thanks to Sabrina, was the ability to zap things into place. You know, like the TV remote from across the room when I was too comfy to move.

Big dreams, I know.

But the real superpower I wanted? Reading minds.

Not for anything sneaky. Just to know exactly what people wanted so I could make them happy. Imagine knowing what your dream client is thinking, what they’re struggling with, and exactly what would make them say, “This is perfect. I need it now.”

Because let me tell you, before I got good at understanding my audience, my business was basically a mess.

I was flinging out offers that didn’t land:

  • I created PDFs as lead magnets that no one downloaded (or even understood).
  • I launched a podcast for an audience that preferred playlists over talk shows.
  • I sent email after email, only to hear, “You’re amazing, but I don’t think you work with people like me.”

And honestly? That stuff stings. It made me feel like I wasn’t enough or that I was just destined to be misunderstood.

But here’s what I learned. It wasn’t me. It wasn’t even my offers. It was that my messaging didn’t make it crystal clear who my services were for or why thy were perfect for them.

>>You don’t need a magic spell to get your dream clients to say yes<<

Once I figured that out, everything shifted.

This is exactly why I created Leads Actually.

In Module 2, I’ll teach you the O.F.F.E.R structure; a framework designed to help you hone in on one audience, one problem, one solution, and one message at a time. It’s a repeatable process that ensures every offer you create in the future lands with the right people—so they don’t just see your work; they feel that it’s made for them.

No more posting random polls and content. No more chasing the wrong audience. No more wondering why your dream clients aren’t saying yes.

Here’s what’s waiting for you in Leads Actually:

✨ The confidence to know exactly what your audience needs to hear.
✨ Messaging that feels magnetic, not confusing.
✨ Offers so clear, your dream clients can’t help but lean in and say, “This is for me.”

This isn’t just another course to add to your digital dust collection. It’s a business breaker and rebuilder. And I’ll be right there with you, helping you refine and rebuild your business into one that doesn’t just tick along, it thrives.

Doors for Leads Actually open 13th January. Ready to stop guessing and start creating offers your audience can’t resist?

👉 Messaging that clicks means clients that commit—are you ready for that?

Smooches,

Zoë

In September 2023, my brother and I had an idea. For 100 days, we’d spend 100 minutes a day working on our businesses and see what happened. That was basically the whole idea. 100 days. 100 minutes a day. Work on your business. I invited some other people to do it with us, because apparently if I’m doing something slightly ridiculous I need witnesses. The important bit is that I wasn’t telling people what they had to spend those 100 minutes doing. It wasn’t 100 minutes of sales, or marketing,...

Whale hello there, Reader, Have you heard of Rate My Chives? It's an Instagram account. A very serious Instagram account. People, and not just home cooks, we're talking actual chefs, submit their chive-chopping for rating. And the ratings are... completely unregulated. A 6.6 here. A 7.4 there. No apparent rubric. No explanation. The comments section is full of professional chefs nodding gravely and offering their thoughts on the chop. The thing that got me though, was what happens BEFORE the...

Can I tell you something I’ve been sitting on for a while? I want to start a sweatshirt business. Not “I’ve looked into it a bit.” I mean I have an actual list of ideas for fun, punny, printed sweatshirts and I am doing nothing with it because one half of my brain is screaming “JUST START” and the other half is going “Zoë, concentrate on the business you already have.” So for now, the list lives in a my notes app, haunting me. (Would you like to see some of them? Maybe that's my IG post today...
