The Unfiltered CEO
Welcome to The Unfiltered CEO, where we share real stories of the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. Your host, Abby Bradetich of IlluminEssence Creations, is a business owner, brand & web designer, content specialist, and your personal hype girlie always down for a dance party. In this podcast, we’ll dive into the authentic experiences of owning a business that you don’t always see online - the highs, the lows, and every spicy bit in-between. We’ll cover mindset, online presence, business, embodiment, social media, brand, and so much more as we turn our unfiltered stories into inspiring, actionable takeaways. In my corner of the internet, we say fuck the rules, aren’t afraid to make moves, and care more about things feeling good than comparing to what else you see online. No matter what stage of business you’re in, you’re welcome here! So grab a glass of wine or get out for your daily walk, and let’s get into it, girl!

We made it to the second half of the year! And as relieved as we all may be to have gotten through the madness that was the first 6 months, now is NOT the time to slow down 🔥
In today's episode, I walk you through how to set your business up for a successful end of the year (especially for the holiday/sales season) with website, content, energy, and marketing tips and advice to follow in Q3.
I cover lots of goodness like:
why you need to lay the foundations for your launch/sale NOW so you can be present & live your life during the end of the year
Q3 is THE time to book your brand, copy & website updates (and sales page builds!)
what to do to your website to connect with your ideal clients & convert them even more (hint, hint: grab a free website review!)
things to think about & update on your website (questions you need to answer!)
how to cut through the noise and warm up your audience through content NOW to be ready to buy in Q4 (easy ways to plan ideas!)
ways to position yourself as an authority & the solution to your clients’ problems through content
why July is THE time to create a new freebie to build your email list
how to easily make a lead magnet & workflow to warm up your audience as you lead up to a launch
you don’t have to be launching something new or running a sale in Q4 to work on your online presence now!
how new brand photos change your energy and inspire you to show up (and why now is a great time to invest in new ones!)
being open to working with people in different, creative ways
how and why I trade services with people (DM me if you want to chat about it!)

I don't know about y'all, but my fiancé and I are BIG Love Island fans - USA, UK, All Stars, it doesn't matter cause we're watching it! And one part I always find funny (but a lil lowkey inspiring too) are their intros... if you've watched, you know exactly what I'm talking about. It's where they hype themselves up, tell everyone they're the shit, and have this delusional confidence most people could only dream of having.
And it's time we bring that energy into our business content, y'all!🔥🔥 So in today's episode, I chat about:
having delusional confidence in how you show up online
believing in yourself and hyping yourself up (cause who else is going to?)
how to create a content strategy based around YOU - and allowing that to be enough
finding the sweet spot of what feels good to you internally AND what works for you externally
the importance of high-touch support for your content as you step into new eras and levels of your business
you are already magnetic - you just need support and space to reconnect with that and use it as your content strategy
a different kind of content membership
how to take advantage of the last half of the year in your content
the importance of starting with your energy and mindset when showing up online (and how to do that)
