"I booked a 1-to-1 coaching session with Nicola to discuss a sewing course I'm developing (I'm a one-woman small creative business). She's really professional, friendly and dead easy to talk to. The session was incredibly helpful, and we got right down to the specifics of pricing, publicity, and future plans as they apply to my own business. She's so good at..." Read more

"Nicola was full of really useful, practical insights into the mysteries of marketing a small business. Indeed, after two hours or so it is no longer mysterious. I know exactly what I need to do and have a clear idea of how to go about it. Thank you Nicola - you’re a ‘marketing star’. 😉"

"I can’t recommend Nicola’s VIP sessions enough – they have given me so much clarity on where my business is going. Not only does a session with Nicola fire you up with ideas, you come away with concrete plans on how to get there. Nicola is fantastic at what she does, it’s like looking at an oily surface without her, then Nicola comes along with the drop of..." Read more

"I can honestly say, Nicola Smith that joining the club has probably been the best thing I've done for my business. Since joining, I've actually felt like having a proper income from a business I've built is a real possibility and not just a pipe dream, and it's an amazing feeling."

"I have to admit I haven't had time to do three quarters of Nicola's trainings yet but the great thing about The Club is you can work at your own pace whenever you want. In my opinion I get my money's worth just from the Facebook group alone. Its a great place to bounce ideas around, get help on the things I really need help with, get support and company from..."

I found this such a worthwhile course to do, for me anyway because it takes the guess work out of what marketing works for my business. Not only did I enjoy the daily tasks, they were quite an eye opener. It has given my Marketing strategy structure. Hopefully, I will follow this to im..." Read more
