When I ran my business, every single week I made my whole team stop and share a win. And some weeks people would say "I don't have one, it was a bad week." I wouldn't accept it. I'd push until we found something, even the tiniest thing. One week, one of the girls on the team genuinely couldn't think of anything. After a bit of digging, her win was that a client had bumped into her dad in the pub and told him she was doing a brilliant job 🤣 Everyone hated it, but I knew it worked it was the only part of the meeting we could all have a laugh and not be so serious. Momentum is built on small wins stacking up. If you wait for the big ones to celebrate, you'll be waiting a long time. Give yourself a pat on the back with something you done this week My win this week? I finally got a proper Irish breakfast after what feels like forever 🍳🥓 and even bigger, I'm moving to Belfast after the summer so there's plenty more where that came from! 🇮🇪 Now it's your turn. Drop your win from this week below (include an image if you can)👇 Doesn't matter if it's big or small. Applied for one job? Win. Updated your LinkedIn headline? Win. Got out of bed and opened your laptop when you didn't feel like it? Massive win. Let's hear it. 🏆

I've put together a hired in 60 days checklist — everything you need to go through across training, your CV and LinkedIn, and your actual job search. So you can see how far you've progressed as an actual percentage. 60 days is the benchmark, not the deadline. Everyone moves at a different pace and that's completely fine. Some of you have gone through the training. Others might take longer, especially if you're working or juggling other things. What matters is that you're actually moving through it and ticking off the boxes. Go through the checklist and see where you're at. Three sections: 📚 Training — the lessons inside the community are there for a reason. 📄 CV & LinkedIn — your profile is your storefront. If it's not set up properly before you start applying, you're making the whole process harder than it needs to be. 🎯 Applying & outreach — this is the daily work. 10 applications a day, tailored every time, hiring manager called, connections made. Consistently. Every day. 💻 Most importantly getting through the two 1-on-1 calls with me! Drop a comment below and let me know which section you're on or what you're currently finding hardest. Happy to help. 🧡

Had a conversation with a few of you yesterday. One person in particular was feeling really down about her job search, constantly hitting walls, getting rejected, wondering if she's doing something wrong and completely demotivated. If you're going through it right now, the silence after applications, the rejections, the "We regret to inform you" emails, I want you to hear this: It is not your fault. The job market right now is genuinely tough. You are not failing. You're just in a hard season. I shared this video from Vicky Owens (just got onto Forbes 30 Under 30 list 🔥) she talks openly about going through failed businesses and rejection after rejection before she ever saw real success. I'm not going to stand here and pretend I have it all figured out either. Yes, I built a business young and sold it. But right now? I'm dealing with issues with the seller over the accounts post-sale. And this group that I pour my time into every single day? I'm not making a cent from it. In fact I'm losing money on this with no guarantee it will turn into something big, which I'm hoping it will! Nobody's life is as clean as it looks from the outside. Social media can definitely add to this So if you're struggling — keep going. Everyone in here feels similar and that's why I made it a community 🧡

Most of you have the really impressive experience, but your packaging is holding you back from the roles you actually want. I’ve put together this Miro board to show you exactly how to structure your professional presence. If you want to stand out, stop making these three mistakes: 1. Your Portfolio is a Maze (or non-existent) 🧩 If a hiring manager has to hunt for your work, they’ve already moved on. - The Fix: Your portfolio needs to be extremely simple to navigate. I always recommend Lovable. - Organise by Skills first. As you can see on my portfolio example, a user should be able to click a specific skill and immediately see the projects and results tied to that skill. 2. Your LinkedIn is "Tell," not "Show" 🎥 Most of your profiles are just walls of text. We want to see a story emerge from your LinkedIn. - Spend at least 20 minutes auditing your profile and it will be 10X better. - Put your portfolio on the featured part of your LinkedIn. - Add images, videos, and projects. Visual storytelling proves your impact. 3. Your CV is an Autobiography 📄 Keep it tight. Even if you feel your experience is "too much" for one page—aim for one page anyway. * The Filter: Ask yourself: "What does the hiring manager actually need to see?" * Hard Metrics: Stop talking around your results. I don’t want to hear that you "helped grow the brand." I want to see: * What was the percentage growth? * How many leads did you generate? * How many sales were closed because of it? The Bottom Line: Hiring managers are busy. Make it impossible for them to miss your value by being clear, visual, and data-driven. Check out the layout in the Miro board and let's get those profiles updated! 🚀 P.s. Tomorrow I will talk about how to fix the issue of feeling like you don't have enough experience for a portfolio.

I always recommend everyone changes their CV and cover letter for each job they apply for. However, this can be quite time-consuming and thus most people ignore it. We want the hiring manager to look at your application and think "this person seems fully qualified for this role" and that's exactly what this does as our CV and cover letter are literally built for the role. I built this small tool to help automate this. Let me know what you think. https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/d78105d6-8bf1-46e1-8177-654236ac0c8b
