Tried everything but still stuck at the same income ceiling in your biz? I was too until I learned four simple steps. Fix your mind. Fix your money.

Hi, I’m Trish, business coach for overwhelmed midlife women. That’s Messy Minded Magic.✨ Retraining our brains to live the life we’ve longed for.❤️ Practical tips for non-scattered living with a beautifully creative mind. (AKA Harnessing those squirrels!)

Sometimes you just don't feel like working on your business.

You've done ALL THE THINGS. You posted, you tweaked the website, you made the pins, you FINALLY sent that email you'd been procrastinating on.

And then you waited for sales.

And waited.

NOTHING.

Not even your own mom liked your post. 😂

And now you're supposed to get up and do it all over again?

Here's the truth no one wants to hear.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO FEEL HAPPY TO BE PRODUCTIVE.

You don't have to be motivated, excited, or pretend life is sunshine and rainbows to keep your business moving. You don't even have to enjoy every minute of it.

But you DO have to keep showing up.💪

And there's actually a little science behind this. Taking that first small step can help your brain shift from avoiding a task to engaging with it. Once you've started, continuing often feels easier than getting started did.

That's why I tell my clients to stop waiting until they FEEL like doing the work.

One disappointing week isn't enough information to declare that nothing works. Maybe people haven't seen your offer enough. Maybe your message needs tweaking. Or maybe you simply haven't given your efforts enough time.

But when you get discouraged, disappear, and come back with a completely different plan every week, you're constantly starting over.

And THAT gets exhausting.

This is why I say FIX YOUR MIND, FIX YOUR MONEY.

Not because positive thinking magically puts money in your bank account, but because learning to work WITH your brain instead of constantly fighting it helps you build consistency.

And consistency gives you something to measure, improve, and eventually grow.

Do you want help doing the work, even when it feels YUCK?

You make $700 one week and $150 the next. Why?

Most small-business owners genuinely don't know.

Maybe you posted more. Maybe you finally sent the email. Maybe an old customer came back. Maybe Pinterest sent somebody over. Maybe you followed up with the woman who asked about the thing three weeks ago.

Maybe you actually TALKED ABOUT WHAT YOU SELL. 😂

Revenue is important. But the number alone doesn't tell you how to repeat it.

And this is something we're paying REALLY close attention to inside Messy Minded Magic this Q4.

We're having a whole Q4 party over there. 🎉 We're getting our businesses ready, opening the doors, talking about what we're selling and tracking what actually brings in the money.

But I'm realizing something as we're doing it.

Some women aren't standing at the edge of the dance floor because they don't know the steps.

They're still in survival mode.

They KNOW they need to post. They KNOW they need to follow up. They KNOW they need to make the offer.

But their nervous system is basically saying, “Girl, absolutely not. We are staying over here by the punch bowl where it's safe.” 😂

So we're not spiking the punch with a bunch of false bravado and yelling, “JUST PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE!”

We're calming the nervous system so you can actually get out on the floor and start dancing your way into Q4 sales and revenue.

Because if you're doing all the work and the money still isn't matching the effort, I want to know what's actually blocking it.

That's why I'm opening up a few Regulate to Revenue Calls. This is a $297 value, and in 30 focused minutes we're going to uncover your TRUE money block and map your next three money-making moves to take you from chaos to cash flow.

Drop REGULATE in the comments and I'll send you the link. 💰🎉

The Quarter 4 business party has started. 🎉

So here’s my quick question:

Can your customers actually SEE what you want them to buy?

You would never spend good money on a dress, fix your hair and makeup, and then stand in the locker room during the dance.

Okay, wait. Lots of us did. 😂

BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT. IT’S BUSINESS!

We have the product. We have the offer. We have the thing we really want to sell this holiday season.

And then we bury it.

If there is something you really want people buying this Q4, put the good stuff where people can see it.

You don't need another product this weekend.

You might just need to open the doors and let people see what you've already got.

🎉 We’re doing exactly that inside Messy Minded Magic this Q4. If you want to join the party, DM me the word PARTY and I’ll send you the details.

🎀 Are You Still Decorating Your Business?

I LOVED prom in high school.

Well... I loved decorating for prom. 😂

The whole “who’s going to ask me?” part? That sucked.

But decorating? I was in my GLORY.

We would take this big boring high school gym with basketball hoops and bleachers, a place that probably smelled like last week’s gym shorts and tennis shoes the day before, and completely transform it.

Lights. Crepe paper. Centerpieces. Florals. Confetti. Floor covering. We’d spend days hanging things, building things and covering up everything that screamed HIGH SCHOOL GYM.

And then came those last few hours.

Straighten this. Move that. Put the confetti on the tables. Turn on the lights.

Then you’d walk through those doors on prom night and it was freaking WOW.

You knew there was still a basketball court under there.

But tonight, it was a completely different place.

Here’s what I was thinking about this week:

When prom night came, we didn’t keep decorating.

At some point, we had to stop getting ready and open the doors.

Business owners are REALLY good at decorating.

We tweak the website. Make another graphic. Work on the logo. Rewrite the product description. Take another picture. Plan another promotion.

And some of that absolutely needs done.

But there comes a point when getting ready becomes hiding.

Especially in Q4.

People are already shopping.

Eventually, you have to open the doors, put what you sell in front of people and say:

“Hey. You can buy this.”

What are you still “decorating” that might actually be ready to sell?

And if you find yourself standing at the edge of the dance floor when it comes to talking about your business, come join me for Regulate to Revenue.

I’ll give you the tools to get out there, talk about what you sell, and make the most of this holiday season.

Comment REVENUE and I’ll send you the details. 🎉

I LOVE the feeling of knowing how Q4 is going to go down and it's the first week of October! It's not too late to get in on the action over here at Messy Minded Magic!

My clients are hitting the ground running, we've had Pinterest Training, Money minding tips (knowing your numbers), and creating great A and B roll content so far. NOW it's time to start selling!

Comment or reply "Holiday HELP!" if you'd like to know more!

We're throwing a MAJOR holiday party over the next 17 weeks.

And I'm not talking cookies and ugly Christmas sweaters. 😂🎄

I'm talking about your BUSINESS.

We're choosing what we're selling. Making it look like the gift somebody HAS to have. Taking pictures and videos while we're already working. Using AI to get the work OFF our plates.

Then we're inviting people to the party.

And WE SELL.

October, we sell. November, we sell. December, we sell. And yep, January too.

Every week we're adding another layer. We're not sitting around waiting for Black Friday to magically make us money.

The party starts NOW.

If you've been wondering what path to follow for your holiday marketing, you need your butt in this room. 😂

Oh, and the workbooks rock!🎸 If i do say so myself!😌

Comment Q4 HOLIDAY PARTY below or DM me, and I'll tell you how to get in on the action! 🎄🎁

If you own a business, I want you to try something this week.

Take pictures all day long.

Packing an order? Picture. Making something? Five-second video. Designing at Starbucks? Picture. New supplies? Picture. Wrapping an order? Video.

You do NOT have to know what you're going to do with it yet.

You're already creating content all day long. You're just forgetting to CAPTURE it.

Then stop leaving everything buried in your camera roll under names like IMG_8372. Create ONE folder in Google Drive and start putting the good stuff there.

And THEN we can bring AI into the picture to help us see what we've got, what we're missing, and turn those raw ingredients into actual marketing.

I've learned how to do ALL of that without leaving ChatGPT, in less time than it would take me to scroll my phone for five pictures, get distracted, and start messaging Aunt Ellie about her new sewing machine. 😂

For real.

This is what we're doing in our Messy Minded Magic holiday party this year, and we're already getting results.

We're not spending October getting ready to sell.

We're inviting people to the party NOW.

October, we sell. November, we sell. December, we sell. And yep, January too.

This week we're getting the kitchen organized.

Next week, we're sending out the invitations. 🎄

Want in on the party? Comment Q4 or message me.

When I was about 23, our pastor and his wife came over for supper.

I was young. They were coming to MY house. And I remember thinking I needed to make a nice dinner.

But I didn't make seven side dishes and three desserts.

I made a good, down-home meal. A few good choices and a whole lot of it.

And his wife complimented me on exactly that.

She told me how often people try so hard to impress company by making EVERYTHING, and she loved that I'd simply made a good home-cooked meal and made plenty of it.

I've remembered that for almost 30 years.

And this week, I'm teaching it in business.

Because some of you are heading into the holiday season with the equivalent of 47 casserole dishes on the table.

LOOK AT ALL MY STUFF!

And your customer is standing there trying to figure out what the heck she's supposed to choose.

Pick your Holiday Heroes.

Put your best choices in front of her. Show her who they're for. Show her why she wants them. Show her how they fit into her life.

Then serve the heck out of them.

You don't need 100 things to talk about this holiday season.

You need a few good choices and a WHOLE LOT of showing up.

We're about to throw one heck of a holiday party around here.

And we're just getting started. Want to tag along? It's not too late! Q4 starts tomorrow and I've got room for about six more clients. Type "I'm IN" in the comments below and I'll hop on a call with you to tell you how!

Before you make another freaking list for next week, I want you to make a DONE LIST. 🧠❤️

Your brain is very good at keeping track of everything you DIDN'T finish.

The product you still need to list. The email you didn't send. The Pinterest board that isn't perfect yet. The post you meant to write. The 14 things still sitting on Monday's list.

And if you let that brain trash run the show, you can end a productive week feeling like you accomplished absolutely nothing.

We're not doing that.

Look back at this week and write down what you actually COMPLETED.

Did you set up your Pinterest business account?
Create a board?
Pin a product?
Finish a listing?
Send an email?
Make an offer?
Follow up with someone?
Post when you normally would have hidden?

COUNT IT.

Then breathe. In for 4. Hold for 2. Out for 6.

Now choose ONE money-moving thing you're going to complete next week.

Not the entire Q4 plan. Not 47 things. ONE next thing.

This is how we keep moving without letting overwhelm send us into freeze.

Drop ONE thing you completed this week in the comments so we can celebrate the heck out of it. ❤️

The holidays are one of the BEST times of the year to make money in your business.

They're also one of the easiest times of the year to get so overwhelmed that you do absolutely nothing.

You know the drill. You need to work on your holiday products. You should be emailing your list. Everybody is talking about Pinterest. You haven't posted in three days. Someone says you need a gift guide. Someone else says you should be making Reels. Black Friday is coming. Christmas is coming. YOU SHOULD PROBABLY BE DOING ALL OF IT. 😵💫

And your messy mind goes, “Cool. Let's do none of it.”

That's not a marketing problem. That's overwhelm turning into freeze.

And piling seventeen more things onto your list isn't going to fix it.

This is one of the biggest things we're working on inside M3 Q4. Yes, I'm bringing in people like Shannon Marie Bennett to teach my clients strategies like Pinterest. But I'm also teaching them how to use those strategies without turning every new idea into 47 more things they suddenly think they HAVE to do.

One account. One product. One board. One next step.

Regulate the brain. Simplify the plan. Then MOVE.

Because the goal isn't to have the longest Q4 to-do list. The goal is to stay regulated enough to keep taking the actions that actually put your products and services in front of people who can BUY them.

If you're reading this thinking, “Yep. I'm already freaking frozen,” I've got something for you.

Comment STUCK and I'll send you my free Fix Your Mind, Fix Your Money Assessment. It will help you figure out what's actually keeping you from moving forward in your business.

And if you act fast, you may even be able to grab a spot on my calendar so we can look at your results together and figure out what needs to happen next. ❤️
