Extra help that I will need can be asked in the re..." Read more

I've typically been getting email click rates of less than 1%, I followed Nicola's advice, this week my click rate has jumped to 5% Thanks Nicola. Next challenge..." Read more

"What can I say about Nicola Smith that wouldn’t sound clichéd or far too sweet & sugary to be wholesome? Well it wouldn’t matter what I said or how I said it, there aren’t enough adjectives to describe this lady who is an absolute wizard at turning YOUR business into proper earnings IF you follow her advice and teaching. I knew nothing about the business wo..." Read more

"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

But the new me thinks like a business owner, values her skills for what they are worth and has confidence that others..." Read more
