Don’t have the time to read all the marketing news, blog posts, announcements, and other content related to SEO/social media/online marketing published each week?
I’ve got you covered.
I sift through trillions (well, hundreds) of online publications to stay on top of marketing news that might affect your online business.
Let’s start with the news from Traffic Generation Café.
At TrafficGenerationCafe.com
You know that feeling you get when you imagine what life would be like if you could just get your business functioning at the next level?
And then you look at your results, the slow progress and wish you could get it sorted faster?
Frustrating, right?
Well, you’re not alone.
Laura Leigh Clarke has worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs and business owners to help them live the life they really want, and this frustration is a common feeling amongst *ALL* movers and shakers.
It’s the feeling of being STUCK.
And in helping them get unstuck, Laura has found there are 7 core themes in the experience of being STUCK.
- Don’t know how to go about getting what you want
- Doing things that aren’t aligned with your true passion
- Doing things that don’t suit your personality
- Letting past dramas talk you out of what you really want
- Picking projects that are doomed to failure
- No process to continually assess how to stay on track
- Not knowing how to monetise your projects
Maybe some of these themes resonate with you?
They certainly have done with me over the years…
And I keep connecting with people who feel stuck.
And these aren’t dumb people.
Far from it.
Most are pretty smart and pretty switched on.
They just haven’t got the business and money thing nailed yet.
They’re motivated.
They care.
And they put their heart and soul into building their business – into creating a good life for themselves and their families, and into making a meaningful contribution to the world.
They also work so hard!
(Is this sounding familiar yet?)
And the things that they think should work (and that they put their time and energy into) – just don’t.
Then they get cynical.
They stop trusting the supposed “experts”, and don’t want to spend money on course after course that promise it all and deliver nothing.
And I can understand this…
It wears on me too.
So, when I heard what Laura Leigh Clarke was doing, I had to know more.
Over the last couple of years Laura has been taking our world by storm, helping hundreds of aspiring entrepreneurs to achieve true success both online and off.
She uses practical methods to help people work out the things that are flat-out going to work for THEIR personality…
And what I love about this is that there is a system to it.
She actually wrote a book on her methods, which was published by Hay House back in 2012: “Wire Yourself for Wealth”. Since then she has honed the process to make it EVEN MORE effective!
Laura reached the point where she’d just had it seeing people struggle when there was a way they could get the momentum they crave in their business.
So last year she put on a couple of very special no-cost training events for her readers, to teach them the truth about how things really work, what “common knowledge” advice they should ignore, and what they really need to do to be successful, given their personality.
And she blew them away!
The feedback from many of the people who were on those calls was that they were the most powerfully transformative trainings they’d ever experienced.
And now it’s your turn.
I’ve made arrangements with Laura for an exclusive webinar for Traffic Generation Café readers to show us how to…
- get over feeling stuck,
- zero in on things that we actually enjoy doing while growing our businesses,
- AND make money off those things.
All you have to do is register, and show up at
2pm Eastern, 11am Pacific, 7pm UK Time
on Thursday, September 11th – sharp!

Disclaimer: Yes, there’s a product attached to this webinar – Laura Leigh Clarke’s all-inclusive Get Unstuck 12-week action program. Laura gave me access to it to analyze it from every angle to see if it’s a worthy match for Traffic Generation Café readers.
(I’ve been going through the program for the past week, analyzing my money making situation at Traffic Generation Café, and realizing why I don’t make nearly as much money as I should. And boy, was I in for a rude (but refreshing!) awakening! Look forward to implementing what I’ve learned from Laura…)
However, this webinar is so valuable in and of itself that you can’t afford to miss it – whether you decide to go forth with Laura’s course or not.
If you do decide to purchase it, Laura will share her glorious earnings with me. (Remember I said I was putting into practice what I’ve learned from Laura?…)
Either way, you’ll greatly benefit from this webinar, so come hang out with Laura and me this Thursday, September 11, at 2 pm EST:
