Today on the podcast we're looking at what you should actually register as a trademark. Most people know that trademarking the name of their business is a crucial step in establishing legal protection over your brand, but should you delve a little deeper and register other components of your business? If you do, which components should you consider registering including is it worth registering your own name for a trademark? All of these questions and quite a few more are answered in this final piece of the trademark training trilogy.   In this episode: [2:18] What is the main thing you should consider trademarking within your business? [3:40] Under what circumstances might it not be possible to register?  [7:00] What can you do if trademarking your business name isn't possible? [9:18]  What are 3 major things to consider registering for a trademark outside of your business name? [13:40] Can you register your own name and surname for a trademark, and is it worthwhile to do so?  [25:15] How much does it cost for a trademark registration in the UK?   Please note: In this episode Suzanne refers to a workbook and pop up Facebook group which were only available during the live Trademark Implementation Sprint earlier this year.     If you would like to listen to all of the replays and receive the downloadable workbooks from Suzanne's Trademark Implementation Sprint sessions go to: www.suzannedibble.com/podcastresources   The contents of this podcast are provided for information purposes only and are not intended to amount to advice.

Today, on the podcast, Suzanne discusses the value of owning a registered trademark in the second of her trilogy of podcasts taken from her highly successful Trademark Implementation Sprint.   In this episode she covers:   What is a brand?  What are your brand values? What are the main benefits of owning a registered trademark? If someone copies your trademark how easy is it to stop them using it? Clarity on jurisdictions and classes. How much does it cost to register a trademark and how long will it take?   If you're unsure, or you've been sitting on the fence, about applying to register a trademark this is definitely an episode you're going to want to listen to.    In this episode: [5:00] What is your brand and why is it important to protect it? [12:29] What happens if someone were to copy your registered trademark?  [16:30] Why trademarking your brand can lead to licensing opportunities, which can be of great benefit to your business. [21:30] Do you need to register your trademark in each jurisdiction you plan to trade within? [27:37] What are the costs to register a trademark?  [29:31] How long does the process of registering a trademark take in the UK?   Please note: In this episode Suzanne refers to a workbook and pop up Facebook group which were only available during the live Trademark Implementation Sprint earlier this year.     If you would like to listen to all of the replays and receive the downloadable workbooks from Suzanne's Trademark Implementation Sprint sessions go to: www.suzannedibble.com/podcastresources   The contents of this podcast are provided for information purposes only and are not intended to amount to advice.

Today, on the podcast, we're doing something a little different. For the next 3 weeks we'll be focusing on a topic that Suzanne is asked about time and time again … trademarks. Earlier this year over 3000 people registered for Suzanne's Trademark Implementation Sprint and since then she's helped hundreds of people in actually going forward to register their trademarks.  In this episode she shares the 5 vital checks that you need to carry out before you think about using any name for your business whether applying for a trademark or not.   Business name, name of a programme, membership site, course, book or methodology, anything you're naming for your business needs to be run through this checking process if you want to avoid someone with the same name accusing you of copyright infringement at a later date.   This really is a must listen for anyone thinking about naming anything in their business!   In this episode: [5:00] Suzanne recounts the case of a client who was set to run an event in two days, only to be informed that she was infringing on another person's trademark and with that came costly implications. [7:05] What's the worst that could happen if you don't carry out these 5 vital checks?  [9:03] Which 2 vital checks are the most important to perform first? [12:20] What are the other 3 vital checks that you need to carry out before choosing a name? [18:10] Is there a registry for business names that are not company names? [22:52] What should you do if you discover that somebody else is using your proposed name? [35:53] Can you stop another business from using your name?   Please note: In this episode Suzanne refers to a workbook and pop up Facebook group which were only available during the live Trademark Implementation Sprint earlier this year.     If you would like to listen to all of the replays and receive the downloadable workbooks from Suzanne's Trademark Implementation Sprint sessions go to: www.suzannedibble.com/podcastresources   The contents of this podcast are provided for information purposes only and are not intended to amount to advice.

Today on the podcast, Suzanne is delighted to be joined by Sara Price, the founder of Actually, a business that supports purpose-led business owners to achieve their business dreams through marketing and strategy support. She was also the co-founder of one of London's leading independent PR agencies.   Sara shares her experience of choosing to start a business at a time when the economy was recovering from the financial crash and, despite the odds, turning it into a huge success. That success brought with it rapid growth. The company then had to be restructured a few years later leading to some staff redundancies which meant negotiating all the complexities and legalities that came with it.   Suzanne and Sara discuss some very important distinctions between employees and freelancers, and the rights and regulations that come into effect with each type of relationship.    They then go on to talk about the worst that could happen in Sara's business - the ever- present threat that someone will steal Sara's Intellectual Property, and what happens if someone decides not to pay their bill.     As always, Suzanne has practical advice on all of the subjects discussed in this episode - particularly timely as anyone in business tries to navigate through these very challenging times.   In this episode: [3:50] Sara recounts her story of starting a business within a recessive period and having massive success during that time. [5:00] Sara talks about having to restructure her business after that growth period, and how that led to making some of her employees redundant. [7:52] Suzanne highlights some of the intricacies involved in letting employees go, and how to avoid major consequences. [9:50] Suzanne and Sara discuss the differences between an employee and a freelancer, and why that definition matters when it comes to governing the professional relationship. [16:26] Suzanne shares resources to help you determine whether or not you have an employee, or have hired a freelancer. [21:41] How Sara intends to grow her team moving forward. [27:00] Sara presents Suzanne with the worst thing she feels could happen in her business surrounding non-payment and IP theft..    Learn more about Sara: https://actually.world   Find the resources mentioned in this episode! www.suzannedibble.com/podcastresources   The contents of this podcast are provided for information purposes only and are not intended to amount to advice.

Today on the podcast Suzanne is delighted to be joined by Danusia Malina-Derben  - author, podcast host, mother of 10 (yes 10!), global leadership consultant and trusted advisor, and founder of DMD Global/C-Suite Consultant.   If that's not compelling and fascinating enough, Danusia also brings with her two fascinating stories…   Danusia tells us about the time she came up with a new concept for a television show and pitched it. The pitch went very well, what followed turned into a fascinating legal experience as her show format was essentially stolen from beneath her.    In this gripping episode Danusia chats to Suzanne about how she was able to regain ownership of her show by auditioning for, and winning the expert spot she had been removed from in the first place!   Suzanne and Danusia then go on to discuss the worst that could happen in her business, only in this episode it isn't hypothetical, it actually happened. A major bank, a contract with a CEO who suddenly passed away, and a very interesting resolution… listen in to find out more.   In this episode: [2:01] Danusia shares some of her life and accomplishments, including enjoying a long academic career, building a successful business, writing books, and hosting podcasts. [3:44] Suzanne and Danusia talk about the fact that Danusia did everything listed above while also giving birth to 10 children! [7:01] Danusia talks about the exciting and very unexpected opportunity to pitch a TV show she had written, and how it ultimately led to her show idea being stolen. [12:38] Danusia tells a story about how she attended an audition for a show that sounded alarmingly like the one she pitched, and how that audition presented the legal opportunity to regain ownership of her show.  [22:58] Suzanne asks Danusia about the worst thing that could happen in her business, and it turns out that it had already happened.  [25:16] Suzanne explains how Danusia had left herself legally exposed, and Danusia shares how the issue was resolved surrounding a contract that could no longer be honored because of an unexpected death.   Learn more about Danusia:http://www.danusiamalinaderben.com/   Find the resources mentioned in this episode! www.suzannedibble.com/podcastresources   The contents of this podcast are provided for information purposes only and are not intended to amount to advice.

Today on the podcast we're excited to have Liz Melville make a guest appearance. Liz is a Facebook Ads and Launch specialist with an impressive list of carefully selected VIP clients that would make most business owners envious. She helps her clients achieve excellent launch results through strategy and paid traffic. The issue with paid traffic is that it doesn't always perform as expected, and when that happens the blame occasionally falls to Liz instead of the ads themselves, and when you're talking about launches that are worth multiple millions of pounds, it can become a lot of responsibility very quickly, which is why it's been paramount for Liz to get her legals in order.   In this episode Suzanne and Liz discuss what happens when ads don't work out the way they're intended to, and how Liz has gone about protecting herself against that scenario. They also share their thoughts on trademarks, and why it's important to trademark not only your business name, but also your courses or programs in a timely manner. Finally Liz shares her concerns around defamation and reputational damage that could arise, and whether or not it would spell the end of her business. If you work with paid ads, or run a business in which you are the face of the business, this is definitely an episode worth listening to.   In this episode: [1:22] Suzanne asks Liz to share the names of some of the high profile clients she's worked with, and how she came to win James Wedmore as a client. [6:36] Liz shares how she works with clients one to one, but also the 2 programs she runs to help clientele with their overall launch strategy, and then taking it a step deeper to focus on the paid traffic element of the launch. [8:25] Liz talks about how the world of paid traffic, and the unpredictable nature of paid ads, has led her to not only appreciate contracts and agreements, but to see them as a crucial and necessary step in any professional relationship. [10:11] Suzanne relates that most legal issues come from a place of the client and the provider having mismatched expectations, and how to ensure that doesn't create an unpleasant legal scenario in your business.  [13:53] Liz shares a story about a trademark she obtained, and how it really changed the way she viewed and thought about trademarking not only her business name, but also the names of her programs and courses. [20:50] Liz talks about her fears around defamation, and reputational damage as possibly the worst thing that could happen within her business, and Suzanne gives her insights on protecting yourself against someone who has decided to run a campaign against your brand.

Today on the podcast we're having a bit of a change … instead of Suzanne interviewing a guest, she shares her personal experience of what happened in the early days of setting up her own business and how, due to being too busy and not thinking that something would happen, she ended up not having the right legal protection in place, which almost ended in financial disaster.  Suzanne trained and practiced at the world's largest law firm, specialising in mergers and acquisitions and private equity - a field that notoriously involves a lot of hard work, massive amounts of adrenaline, long hours and endless late nights.  Knowing she wanted to start a family, Suzanne quickly realised that working 20-hour days was unsustainable and not conducive to her having the work life balance she dreamed of. Having always had an entrepreneurial streak, Suzanne thought long and hard about what she could do which would work hand in hand with looking after a growing family. So, the Small Business Legal Academy was born … and quickly thrived… as she gained a reputation as the small business go-to legal expert with a primarily female focussed audience gained through a powerful network of mumpreneurs. However, an early spanner in the works – a non-payment of a £5,000 invoice - meant make or break for Suzanne's fledgling enterprise and, ultimately, the possibility of returning to the corporate world – one which made her feel sick to the core. In this episode, Suzanne shares exactly what happened… as she recognises herself  -  this was a real wakeup call -  one that she learnt from and, as a result, has never repeated, by putting in place a very simple but watertight clause in her contracts. She also shares some tips and insights on effective ways you can get paid if you're also running into issues with your invoicing, and how, especially today in a time of economic uncertainty, to put in place the tools to help you get paid in full, on time, every time.   In this episode: [1:04] Suzanne shares the story of how she trained in the world's largest law firm, why she left, and how she decided to get into business for herself by starting her own legal consultancy. [3:00] She explains how she went about growing her consultancy with debilitating morning sickness and an ever-growing baby bump, and why she very quickly became successful in doing so. [5:50] Suzanne talks about the one thing she didn't consider when working with a client of hers, and how an invoicing issue ultimately led to her losing £5,000.  [9:28] There were a few things that Suzanne could have done differently in this situation to avoid said loss, and she shares them with us to ensure we don't make the same mistake. [14:00] Suzanne shares insights on how she structured her payment model moving forward to avoid any other issues in the future. [16:15] She also gives tips on how to get your invoices paid with less hassle and chasing after people.   Find the resources mentioned in this episode! www.suzannedibble.com/podcastresources   The contents of this podcast are provided for information purposes only and are not intended to amount to advice.

Today, on the podcast, Suzanne is delighted to be speaking with Dan Bradbury, owner of a mentoring business and investor in growing businesses, with an extensive business career spanning over 15 years. Today he helps business owners turning over between £500,000 to £5 million in revenue to scale profitably.  He has founded, built and sold two companies for seven figures, invested in over a dozen other companies as well as purchasing five businesses outright. In this episode, Dan recounts tales of what he describes as “legal carnage” from his early years as an entrepreneur, Cease and Desist letters from a famous person, and a business acquisition that went bad. Dan and Suzanne's conversation brings levity and fun alongside education and experiential wisdom.  Dan says that a fool learns from their own mistakes, while a wise man learns from the errors of fools, so let's take this opportunity to learn from Dan!   In this episode: [2:14] Dan recounts the good, bad and ugly schemes of his youth, and how his entrepreneurial journey led him to buying and selling businesses, and helping larger businesses to scale profitably [4:40] Suzanne asks Dan about his approach to risk, and how it differs from when he started business to now. [11:53] Dan receives a Cease and Desist Letter from someone very famous.  [15:11] Suzanne talks about how to avoid needing to seek out a lawyer at the first sign of trouble, and some great steps to take before you do. [20:07] Dan shares 2 stories: 1 about a copyright infringement claim and how he came out of it relatively unscathed, the other about a massive deal that resulted in being sued for millions in consequential losses! [32:21] Dan and Suzanne discuss insurance, and a specific type that Dan uses to give himself peace of mind were anything to happen to him. [35:57] Dan talks about shareholders agreements and gives insights as to why they are so crucial to have in place.

Today on the podcast, Suzanne is delighted to be joined by Bryony Thomas of Watertight Marketing. Bryony is author of Watertight Marketing “the book on marketing that makes sense of the rest”. Since beginning her business in 2008, Bryony has shifted from marketing consultancy to a licensing and training business, and is now moving on to marketing planning software as a service. In this episode, Suzanne kicks things off by chatting with Bryony about some of the issues she's faced surrounding Intellectual Property protection. They then move into a very open discussion in which Bryony describes the termination of a joint venture, the ramifications of this at a particularly challenging time for her personally, and the legal challenges that were involved in the process.  Finally, they chat about what's the worst that could possibly happen in Bryony's most recent venture as she offers software as a service, and how she's made sure she's fortifying herself against potential problems from the outset with a watertight contract. A great episode for anyone with IP to protect, looking at a joint venture or starting a software as a service (SaaS) product  – listen to this episode first – there are real lessons to be learnt… In this episode: [3:10] Suzanne and Bryony discuss her time as a marketer, and how her business has evolved and changed since 2008. [8:20] Bryony describes her experience with a joint venture that went belly up, and how she navigated the legalities of that process. [15:34] Suzanne shares insights into Joint Venture Agreements and why they are so vital to have in place when you begin to collaborate with others. [19:35] Bryony discusses her software as a service venture and the interesting approach she's had to take in getting started that potentially leaves her open to greater risk than normal. [23:58] They talk about negotiation and how it can be an excellent experience that leaves both sides feeling great about working together - if done right.    Learn about Bryony www.watertightmarketing.com   Find the resources mentioned in this episode! www.suzannedibble.com/podcastresources   The contents of this podcast are provided for information purposes only and are not intended to amount to advice.

Today on the podcast, Suzanne speaks with Richard Woods, former finalist on the hit TV series The Apprentice and founder of the Million Dollar Sprint, a growth accelerator for expert businesses.    Richard talks about his experience of pursuing debts in the small claims court and why he would always recommend avoiding that process at all costs by having watertight contracts in place that get you paid in full and on time, especially pertinent at the moment in these uncertain times.  If you're currently having problems getting your invoices paid, or if you're considering that you might take somebody to the small claims court, then this is an episode to listen to.    Of course, no episode would be complete without talking about the worst-case scenario that could happen in Richards' business which he considers to be non-payers.   Suzanne also gives her opinion on what could be Richard's worst-case scenario, which is what would happen if something happened to Richard being the face and the main trainer of the accelerator that he's running. So, if you're also the face of your business and providing most of the delivery, this episode will prove insightful and thought provoking.      Richard also shares some behind the scenes stories about what it's really like to be on The Apprentice, facing Alan Sugar across the boardroom table doing your utmost to dodge those immortal words “You're fired!”…   In this episode: [4:43] Suzanne asks Richard about his experience in starting a business directly out of university on a graduate loan and what it was like building an import business in his early 20's.

Welcome back! Today, Suzanne is speaking with digital marketeer extraordinaire Kimba Cooper who has spent a decade successfully managing online marketing channels across an impressive array of channels.     Kimba is the master of gamification, taking all the fun and exciting aspects of games and applying them to everyday things to make them more enjoyable, enticing and rewarding.  If used well, gamification can be used to help reach business goals, by helping your customers to achieve theirs - working out their motivations and amending your course/challenge/affiliate launch / social media content to help them achieve their objectives in a way that works for them. It's intriguing!   In this episode Kimba chats to Suzanne about some of the legal issues she's faced including negotiating freelance contracts and trademarking her brand name. And of course, they discuss the most dreaded subject of all – what would happen if Kimba were to commit to helping a client gamify a major launch and not get the results?  Here, as always on What's the worst that can happen?

[22:01] What is the worst that can legally happen to Kimba Cooper if her gamification strategies don't work, and how could a consequential loss clause help negate the possibility? [31:06] Kimba discloses that she is a semi-professional hula hooper, and does a little myth-busting on the subject!   Learn more about Kimba Cooper! https://kimbadigital.com   Find the resources mentioned in this episode! www.suzannedibble.com/podcastresources   The contents of this podcast are provided for information purposes only and are not intended to amount to advice.

[00:19:35] Matt shares ones of his favorite quotes and then he asks Venia what’s the risk of measuring, especially with vanity metrics, where you provide an incentive for things that we don’t necessarily want to incentivize?

Are you putting off launching an email newsletter because you don't know what to put in it? Or perhaps you started sending an email newsletter...and then hit ‘pause' because you weren't sure if the content was right for your audience? If that sounds familiar, you'll love this podcast on how to create an email newsletter that people actually look forward to receiving. In it, I cover:  What to include in your email newsletter  How often you should send out your email newsletter  The ideal word count for your email newsletter   The best layout for your email newsletter   How to get people to subscribe to your email newsletter And a whole host of other useful tips and tactics to create a successful email newsletter {Click on the player above to listen to the podcast episode and/or read on for a detailed overview. Scroll down to the bottom to read the show notes including all the links mentioned in this episode}   First off, the most important thing you need to know about your email newsletter is that it's not about you. It's about your ideal customers/clients. So - unless you have a Kardashian style audience of people who are fascinated by your daily life - your email newsletter shouldn't be ‘news' about you and your business. It should focus on your ideal customers/clients problems.  What is an email newsletter? While this may sound obvious, a lot of people get this wrong. A newsletter is any regular email you send out to your current/prospective clients. It doesn't have to contain pictures or a fancy layout (although it may). It can just be plain text. The key thing is it must add value and help you nurture the relationship. What makes a great email newsletter? Your newsletter is, effectively, a lead magnet i.e. a piece of content you create to attract your ideal customers/clients (or nurture your relationship with existing ones).  A great lead magnet solves a specific type of problem for a specific type of customer/client, offers a transformation, gives a quick win and (crucially) leads your subscribers towards a paid product/service. Learn how to create an effective lead magnet for your business.  For example, the Instagram expert Sara Tasker has a monthly newsletter where she shares new and interesting Instagram hashtags that will be useful for her audience. I look forward to receiving it because I know I'm going to get some fab new hashtags to try.  It solves a problem for me because researching hashtags take time - and is not the most enjoyable job (which is why I look forward to receiving it). So Sara is saving me time on something I don't like doing. She has an online course specifically for Instagram growth, so her email newsletter is perfectly aligned with one of her paid offers.  Entrepreneur Marie Forleo sends out a weekly email about her latest Q & A Tuesday YouTube video - which contains valuable tips on business and marketing. These free videos add value and build trust, so when she launches her online marketing programme B-School, people are queuing up ready to buy.  Remember an email newsletter isn't just about attracting new customers/clients. It can be about nurturing your relationship with existing ones.  I send an email every Friday morning to update my audience about my latest podcast episode. And anyone who buys my Media Diary - an A4 desk that includes key dates and awareness days you can use to plan out your content for the coming year - also gets a monthly email newsletter. This includes additional awareness dates and news of new films, books and TV shows (things we wouldn't necessarily have been aware of when creating the diary) to spark content ideas. Because this email newsletter is adding value, subscribers often email back to thank us for sending it. You Are the Media founder Mark Masters, sends a weekly email (every Thursday at 6am GMT/BST) with news, ideas and inspiration around content marketing and audience growth. Amongst other things, this email helps him nurture his relationship with existing and prospective attendees of his annual You Are The Media live event. I spoke at the event in Bournemouth in June and it was clear this weekly email was instrumental in filling the room at that live event.  Pro tip: Remember that solving a problem for your subscribers doesn't necessarily have to be offering tips/advice. Solving a problem for your audience could be making them laugh or giving them something beautiful to read during their coffee break (the very reason I subscribe to Alexandra Franzen's newsletter). Whatever adds value for your audience.  How to find out what you should include in your email newsletter? If you already have an email list, ask them what they'd like to hear about. Don't ask them an open question e.g. ‘What would you like me to include in my email newsletter?' If you do this, you're asking them to think really hard - which means it's far less likely they'll reply.  Instead, give them three or four ideas you have for your email newsletter content and ask them to choose the one that feels like the best fit for them. This way, they have to do less thinking, which means they're far more likely to reply. Once you've got them in a conversation, you can always ask further questions to find out if they have any ideas of their own (some will volunteer anyway). If you don't have an email list, follow exactly the same process with five to ten of your ideal clients/customers. And/or ask your social media followers. Do remember that the only way you will truly know what your audience want to hear about is by putting content out there and seeing how they respond. This can be scary, but it's the only way to truly find out what kind of content your subscribers really need.  How long does your email newsletter need to be? The rather unsatisfactory answer is...as long as it needs to be.  I subscribe to some newsletters that are just a few lines long but solve my problems. Others are more in-depth. Make it as a long or short as it needs to be for your audience.  Does an email newsletter have to include pictures/or have a fancy layout? If you've got the resources to do it and you think it would work for your audience, go ahead and do it. But plain text is absolutely fine. In fact, there is a lot of research to show plain text emails actually perform better than those with images.  And remember an email newsletter doesn't have to be completely text-based. You can share video, audio, infographics, for example.  It all comes back to what your audience needs from you.  How often should you send out your email newsletter? The rather unsatisfactory answer is: as often as you feel that you need to and probably more often than you think.  The key thing is that you're adding value and you're tracking your results and tweaking and adjusting as necessary.  For example, Kennedy teaches entertainers to get booked out with clients. He sends a daily email to his followers and makes a paid offer for his membership/events in pretty much every email. It's delivering consistently good results for him.  Your email newsletter is only too frequent if it's not delivering results for you.  Don't panic if you get a few unsubscribes from your newsletter (or even one or two people who email to say your emails are too frequent for them. What is too frequent for one person is often fine for another). You only need to worry if it's happening regularly.  Bonus tip: Always try to provide an opportunity for people to ‘talk back' to you if possible e.g. ‘hit reply and let me know what you think about x or y.' The more conversation you can generate, the more effective your newsletters will be.  How do you get people to subscribe to your email newsletter? The key thing to remember is that no one wants to subscribe to a newsletter. Another piece of junk in their inbox that they probably won't open. So don't ask people to subscribe to your newsletter. Instead, sell the value e.g. ‘Sign up for my monthly hashtag newsletter and save yourself tons of time on hashtag research.'  or ‘Register for our monthly Media Diary newsletter to get additional awareness days and key dates you can use to help with your content planning.'  Here's 39 surprisingly easy ways to get people to join your email list.  What kind of email newsletter can you create if you have a product-based business? Many product-based business owners think the only email newsletter they can send is one with discounts/offers. If the only thing you're doing is offering discounts, you'll have no trouble getting people to sign up to your email newsletter. But you may struggle to get people to build the kind of loyalty that results in repeat sales.  A more savvy approach can be to think about how people might be using your product. A good example of this is my Media Diary newsletter.  Sending a monthly newsletter with additional awareness days and ideas not only adds value, it also reminds people that we exist - so other relevant products go on sale, I'm already top of mind. So don't just send information about your products, send information about how people can use your products (or products like yours).  For example, if you sell garden offices, send tips on how to style your garden office, how to keep it warm in winter or cool in summer. This is a practical content for past clients and aspirational content for prospective clients. If people see you as a source of useful information - rather than someone who is trying to sell them stuff all the time -  they're far more likely to want to buy from you. If sell homeware and gifts like my client Penelope Hope founder Nadia Newton, you can create seasonal content that helps your subscribers - and helps you make sales.  The great thing about a newsletter is that you can make it seasonal. For example, Nadia recently launched a range of beach bags. Creating a summer newsletter than includes a round-up of the most stylish beach accessories of the summer (that includes her beach bags) would be a great way for Nadia to add value and sell more of her beach bags.  She could also do similar round-ups for Mothers' Day gifts, Teachers' leaving presents and, of course, Christmas gifts.  Bonus tip: Don't be afraid to include competitors' products in your round-ups. While it might sound counter-intuitive, if you position yourself as a helpful person/brand, you'll build loyalty and trust - making people far more likely to buy from you.  If you have a product-based business position yourself as an expert in the type of products you sell - rather than someone who sells stuff. That is what will keep your customers coming back to you - time and time again.  Should you sell in your email newsletter? Absolutely yes. If it's appropriate, do make offers in your newsletter. But make adding value your number one priority.    Podcast shownotes Why your email newsletter is not about you (2:20) What is an email newsletter (and why it can just be a simple email) (3:48) What makes a great email newsletter (and why it's like a lead magnet) (5:03) Four things your email newsletter needs to do (6:58) Examples of some great email newsletters (7:52) Creating an email newsletter that solves your ideal customer or clients problem (14:28) How to present your email newsletter and how long should it be?

PLEASE NOTE: The Rise & Shine Society Website has now been changed to THE AUDACIOUS BABE (like the podcast). New Website: https://theaudaciousbabe.com ----- In today's THE AUDACIOUS BABE PODCAST episode I'm chatting all about GDPR - the general data protection regulation. As you all know by now as of May 25th, 2018 the new data protection laws - GDPR came into effect Europe-wide. There has been a big panic all over the world and a big confusion to what this means to us small business owners. A lot of false information has been circled around and everyone has been scrambling. Unless you are a lawyer who understands the jargon, most people where just left being confused really. Enter people like Suzanne Dibble. Suzanne is a lawyer who specialises in small businesses and she set herself the task to demystify GDPR for us. She established a Facebook Group for small business owners, which has since exploded to over 33k members and Suzanne made it her mission to post one video a day until the deadline May 25th. She also interviews people to discuss certain GDPR related topics that she herself is not an expert on ie. IT security. Over the last few months, I've embarked on this massive task of understanding GDPR and really deriving with an action plan of what I need to do to make myself compliant. When I first started with this task, I understood I needed a Privacy Notice on my website and apparently some check boxes, but that sure can't be all, can it? No it can't. There is lots more to GDPR than this. However, ones you get more into the nitty gritty of GDPR, it is actually not that complicated, just a bit of work to do on our end to make sure we are in compliance. So,I started by watching all the videos Suzanne provided in her Facebook group and researched lots of more info on the ICO website itself. However, once I've acquired all this knowledge, I kind of felt like I need to put it somewhere. So I've decided to do a podcast episode about it and share my findings with all of you. :) Even if this topic is the most dry topic it can be for photographers, this is essential and affects all our couples, our clients and our business. So I can only highly encourage you to take it seriously, not just because you can be fined and your reputation can be destroyed, but also just to increase your awareness and put your customers at east and their minds at rest knowing you are on it. Listen to the full episode to hear more details about GDPR, its 7 key principles and my 7 step recommendations to bring you closer to compliance.   DISCLAIMER: I am NOT a lawyer and all the information I am sharing in this podcast episode, is just my understanding and interpretation of the findings on the ICO website as well as watching all video material via Suzanne Dibble's Facebook group and so on. My recommendations in the podcasts are again just personal recommendations and by no means are necessarily legal obligations or even if they are, it is up to the listener's discretion to decide whether to integrate/follow any information/advice given.    Website: https://theaudaciousbabe.com Episode 27: https://theaudaciousbabe.com/podcast-episode-27-gdpr-lets-shed-some-light-on-it   Follow us on Social Media: Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/theaudaciousbabe Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theaudaciousbabe  

Joining Philip Nothard today is Suzanne Dibble, former ITV and Virgin Group lawyer who is an expert in the minefield that is GDPR. Suzanne offers practical, actionable tips on how you can ensure compliance and dispels some of the myths around GDPR.

I am sure that you’ve heard about General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which it came into effect on May 25th, 2018. It’s basically a stronger set of rules on EU data protection, which changes how businesses handle their customers' personal information and as a result, people have more control over their personal data. But what does it mean for your online business? When GDPR came into effect, everyone was freaking out about it because nobody really understood what it meant. So, to ease everyone’s fears and clear up some of the confusion, I invited data law protection expert, Suzanne Dibble, onto the show. Suzanne used to work as a business lawyer at the largest law firm in the world – literally. In 2010, she switched her focus from keeping household names and huge multi-nationals out of trouble to helping small business owners protect and scale their business. She’s a natural entrepreneur at heart and always provides practical and relevant advice to each of her clients. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: GDPR is a supercharged data protection law that replaces the previous 1995 Data Protection Directive Data is the world’s most valuable asset – so it’s important to protect it The maximum fine for a GDPR data breach is €20m or 4% of your global turnover in the last 12 months You must have a lawful ground for processing data which includes consent, contractual, legal and legitimate interests You don’t necessarily need to get an “opt-in consent” from existing customers to continue to market to them Your privacy notice must clearly state that people can object to the processing on the grounds of legitimate interests Use this opportunity to clean up your email list and sort out the subscribers who engage with you from those who never open your emails GDPR has amplified the standard of consent. There must be an affirmative action by the individual that signifies their consent It’s not mandatory that you need to have a double opt-in, but you may need it when dealing with special category data or sensitive data (such as health information) Don’t bundle all of your consent boxes together - you need to give people real choice and control Controllers can only use processors and virtual assistants outside the EU if they are GDPR compliant Much, much more!

Are you ready for GDPR? Wondering how it will affect your agency and/or your clients? Even if you’re not in Europe, you are required to be in compliance with these new data privacy regulations. In this episode, learn what you need to do to protect your agency and stay in compliance with GDPR. In this episode, we’ll cover: What is GDPR? What does GDPR mean for agencies? 3 Steps to GDPR compliance. What happens if your agency is non-compliant? I’m super excited to talk to today’s guest, Suzanne Dibble the small business law expert based in The UK. She’s got 20+ years experience and has worked some big time entrepreneurs, like Richard Branson. She has been living, breathing, and consuming everything related to GDPR and how it affect small businesses for the past 3 months. Suzanne is on the show today to explain the ins and outs of GDPR so you can keep your agency in compliance and continue to generate leads despite stricter guidelines. What is GDPR? The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is a set of rules imposed by the European Union (EU) who seek to create a harmonized data protection law framework across the EU and aims to give back to data subjects, control of their personal data. GDPR imposes strict rules on businesses hosting and processing this type of data, anywhere in the world. Suzanne says GDPR comes from a place of good intention, and isn’t just a new set of regulations to make our lives miserable. The good news is that there’s just a few steps to take that will keep you compliant by May 25, 2018. And the really good news is that there’s no enforcement agency waiting to haul you off to prison for non-compliance. :) What Does GDPR Mean for Agencies? Basically, this will affect your lead magnets and automated marketing campaign sequences. It’s all about transparency. Under these regulations, when people opt-in for something (like a lead magnet) that’s the only thing you can send them. If you want to continue to use their email address for marketing purposes, this will require additional consent. 3 Steps to GDPR Compliance Compliance does not have to be an overwhelming process. Suzanne top lined the three steps we can take to make sure we stay compliant: 1. Decide whether GDPR is relevant to your agency. It affects businesses who either (A.) process data of people in the EU with the intent to offer goods or services, and (B.) businesses monitoring the behaviors of those in the EU. If you’ve answered yes to either of these criteria, then you need to send a re-consent email to your lists to those recipients in the EU. 2. Determine if you have lawful grounds of processing data. There are 6 criteria that fall under the definition of being lawful under GDPR, though most small businesses will fall under one of the first four. Consent. The real issue is obtaining re-consent after May 25. With that, you have lawful grounds. Contractual agreement. If you’re already under contract with a client, you’re all set and new consent is not required. Compliance with the law. Record keeping or maintaining data on clients, employees, and contractors is consensual and therefore no new consent is required. Legitimate interest. Many of us will fall into this category, where you’re marketing to someone with legitimate interest in your service you can lawfully process their data with consent to do so. Vital interest. Public interest. 3. Write a new privacy policy and a cookies notice. Under GDPR you must be completely transparent about what you data you’re holding and why. Additionally, you must rationalize what you’re doing with any data, where it comes from, where you’re transferring it to, etc. GDPR has 13 points that must be addressed in your privacy policy so be sure you’re fully covered. Cookies are considered an extension of personal data. Therefore, businesses are also required to be transparent with their use and handling of cookie data with a cookies policy. What Happens If You’re Non-Compliant? As Suzanne explained, there’s no governing agency that’s enforcing these regulations or hunting down offenders. Basically, it just all comes down to a risk analysis. The real risks are to your brand reputation. Breaking compliance may upset people who are knowledgable on the subject. They may choose to take direct action and make a legal claim. And even if they don’t take action, you risk losing their trust and respect. There are over 250 pages to the Articles and Recitals of GDPR. If you are unsure whether this relates to you, or you’d like to dig in deeper you can learn more in Suzanne’s exclusive GDPR for Online Entrepreneurs Facebook group.

IN THE SHOW Where or how have you felt most alive this week? Sue’s been taking new VIP clients through the ‘I Gotta Be Me’ intensive coaching experience and has been inspired by each client bringing the very best of themselves into the coaching and also their commitment to their personal and business growth in the year ahead. Sherry has signed up to a 26 mile hike across the South Downs in July and has been inspired not only by registering for the main event but by her first training session in the pitch black! (01.50 – 06.10) How have you been challenged? This week we talk about the power of taking action. We explore why taking action is important, the distinction between being and doing in business, and the differences between taking consistent steps and making inspired leaps. Whilst consistency, motivation and momentum are important factors in moving our business forward, it is also critical that the actions we take are focussed and in line with the strategic direction we want to move in. We share how we do this, who/what has helped us along the way and what we do when we get stuck. (06.11 – 29.15)         So where are you building momentum right now? As we keep saying, momentum is critical in getting past the Tipping Point. Sue’s been through a mini re-brand following the virtual conference in December and she’s really on a mission to explore ‘Mission Unstoppable’ and how she can support clients with discovery, design, development and delivery of their mission. Sherry’s excited about her new Career Confidence Membership Hub which is currently in development to make her career development resources openly available and more accessible to support a much broader audience online. (29.16 – 36.22) How have you been inspired this week? Sue’s been overwhelmed by the response to a single tweet looking for guests for a new podcast series where she will be interviewing inspiring ‘mission makers’  - people who are on a mission to make a difference in some way. Sherry’s been inspired by one of our guests from On The Tipping Point LIVE! Suzanne Dibble is a business leader who really knows how to take action and has taken the implementation of GDPR by the horns by establishing a Facebook community for small business owners which has grown exponentially due to the quality & clarity of advice, information and reassurance being released on a daily basis. (36.22 – 41.55) What else or what next? Sue concludes with a quote from Mark Twain: Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the things you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.   Sherry reflects on the discussion and notices how exciting she finds taking action and how constantly complexed she can be by those who don’t take action.  How wonderful we are all different!

On today’s episode, my guest and I will be talking all about GDPR. What exactly is it, and does it affect you? I’ve invited on my friend Suzanne Dibble, who’s a business law expert in the UK, to break down what you need to know and do about the EU’s new General Data Protection Regulation. It seems as though not many people in the United States are talking about GDPR, but for those of us with online businesses, this is something we need to understand and act on. We’ll be covering how it applies to Facebook ads and the Facebook pixel, and Suzanne will be sharing the steps we need to take to be GDPR compliant. She’ll also reveal what effect it has on how we collect opt-ins, as well as what we need to consider with our email CRMs and other software we use daily in business. There are a lot of legal terms in this episode, but Suzanne provides all the resources we need to get our heads around this topic. It’s such an important discussion to have, because I think this is going to be the new norm for business and data protection going forward. On the Show Today You’ll Learn: What the intent of GDPR is (and isn’t) How data controller and date processors differ, and the various responsibilities of each An example of a behavior that might get you into trouble… How adhering to this new legislation can give you a competitive advantage Whether or not you can tell if company is GDPR compliant Why pre-ticked boxes and opt-outs might not be enough now – and what to do instead What potential fines and consequences will exist after May 25th, 2018

If you're doing business in the EU - or with anyone living there - you need to be aware of new data protection regulations (known as GDPR) that come into force in May. In this episode, legal expert Suzanne Dibble, explains what you need to know about GDPR and how it could affect your business....

In this bonus episode we depart from our normal format and share the highlights from our recent virtual conference On The Tipping Point LIVE! where we talked to 13 extraordinary female entrepreneurs to discover their stories of getting past the tipping point in business. There was SO much helpful advice and experience shared that it’s impossible to get it all into one episode, so here we reflect on five of the most consistent messages we heard from our speakers about building success in business.  We hope you find them helpful too! IN THE SHOW … We start with a few moments discussion to put our own thinking into context, in particular looking at what makes these five messages relevant to both of us.  (1.27 – 6.20) 1 - Being You – be more you than you have ever given yourself permission to be before. This popped up in everyone’s interview in some way, and the specific examples that stand out for us are in the following interviews (6.20 – 9.20): Lucy Whittington: how to recognise your ‘thing’ in business and the difference between running ‘a’ business and running ‘your’ business. Susan Payton: owning your story and being who you really are in your business. Alison Jones: choosing to lead, being more of who you are and being ‘unapologetically you’. 2 - Stepping Up – the continual expansion of your comfort zone through being prepared to lean in to your fear and take action regardless. So many examples of this one! Here are some of the key stories that stood out for us (9.20 – 22.30): Alison Jones: the moment she discovered no-one gives us permission to lead in our business – we have to make the decision to step up. Cara Sayer: being prepared to make mistakes and learning from what doesn’t go to plan. Lottie Moore: celebrating what we want to replicate in business, no matter how small the win. Also remembering that everyone’s ‘Everest’ is a different height. Sarah Arrow: choosing between a rock and a hard place. Lindsey Fish: never settling – being willing to fail in order to learn how to succeed. Bryony Thomas: anything of long term value has a component of struggle. 3 - Taking Action – the importance of making opportunities happen, not wait for them to come to you. Here we also reflect on the many wonderful discussions during the conference about what we can learn from nature – from cultivating potatoes to building fire! Our key stories for taking action are (22.30 – 34.35): Lindsey Fish: being persistent and consistent in the face of adversity and not giving up. Kat Dever: the years of work that go into being an overnight success, and the importance of building our business in the right Nicola Huelin: what we can learn from planting and cultivating potatoes, and the learning that comes from a burning platform. Sarah Arrow:  how she tripled her income by showing up consistently in her business. Vee Smith and Veronica Pullen: taking action when perhaps you feel stuck, and how to move forward from a place where you can imagine all your emotional and material needs are already met. 4 - Masterminding – the importance of challenge and support, in growing both yourself and the business – and the business benefits of gathering high quality, collective wisdom and new perspectives.  This was or had been a key factor for all of our speakers – and the key stories for the benefits of masterminding are (34.36 – 45.35 ): Suzanne Dibble: the personal value gained through investing in business mastermind groups – the shared journey between like minded people. Kat Dever: holding the vision for each other with the highest intention 5 - Personal and Business Investment – investing in ourselves, valuing and celebrating who we are, and investing in our personal growth. Here the key stories are (45.36 – 54.00): Suzanne Dibble/Kat Dever: making our choices out of hope (or investing in our faith) not our fear Lottie Moore: investing time and money in the same place in our business We conclude with a personal learning or two, and we share the details of our On The Tipping Point Mastermind Group – launching in January 2018!
