Why marketing writing fails
Ok, now I feel a strong need to re-write my whole LinkedIn and CV after doing this lesson in classroom! I thought they were pretty good already, but I am mistaken!! Also this lesson could be split over lots of pages and you should definitely be charging for it @Gareth Parkes it's brilliant!

Thank you Diana. I have a Gumroad where I will sell what I give away for free on Skool and for the same price as a monthly Skool Vault subscription.
From Noise to Navigation
Clarity doesn't grow in silence—it grows in conversation. Most business owners get lost in the noise. Business OS doesn't add more noise—we turn it into navigation. THE CHALLENGE Business owners are drowning in noise—endless "best practices," generic positioning, and scattered advice. Everyone sounds the same, and clients scroll past without remembering who you are. You're competing on price because you're invisible. Not incompetent. Not unqualified. Just forgettable. THE SOLUTION Business OS cuts through that noise. Not with more tactics. Not with polished jargon. With clarity, story, and systems that actually work. You come here to: - Find your voice (stop sounding like everyone else) - Sharpen your story (the one that makes you memorable) - Build presence (that creates clients, not inquiries) THE FRAMEWORK: CLARITY COMPASS This is how we move from noise to navigation: 1. NOISE → Recognition See the overwhelm. Identify the generic messaging. Admit you're invisible. 2. LINKING → Connection Connect the fragments. Your story isn't scattered—it's unorganized. We link the pieces. 3. WISDOM → Discernment Not everything matters. Learn which parts of your story actually resonate with clients. 4. NAVIGATION → Momentum Turn clarity into action. Practical messaging that drives retention, referrals, and revenue. THE OUTCOME You stop competing and start connecting. Your booking rate doubles. Your inquiries improve. Your clients stop asking about price. Not because you work harder. Because you're finally clear. THE INVITATION Business OS isn't about perfect execution. It's about momentum through clarity. Every module. Every template. Every framework. They all do one thing: Turn noise into navigation. From "I sound like everyone else" to "I sound like me." From "clients shop around" to "clients choose me specifically." From scattered to clear. From invisible to unforgettable. That's the transformation. Ready to navigate?

@Diana Berryman I already have some of the free tier completed and am working on a free tier interim Classroom offering with some really helpful info and getting the nuts and bolts together for the paid offering with high level tools and classroom.
Why Storytelling Alone Won’t Save Your Business!
🔍 Why People Don’t See the Problem - Perceived Connection vs. Actual Engagement Many businesses believe that telling stories automatically creates connection. They assume, “we’re sharing our journey, so clients must feel close to us.” In reality, connection is only meaningful if the story is relevant to the client’s own needs and aspirations. - Blind Spot in Self-Assessment Owners often equate likes, comments, or polite feedback with genuine loyalty. They don’t notice that while people enjoy the story, they aren’t motivated to buy, stay, or refer. ⚠️ Why Retention, Referrals, and Income Suffer - Stories Without Clear Value Transfer If the narrative doesn’t show how the client’s life improves, it entertains but doesn’t convert. Example: “Our founder’s journey” is interesting, but unless it’s tied to solving the client’s pain point, it won’t drive retention. - Lack of Emotional Continuity Storytelling often spikes interest at the start but fades if not reinforced. Without ongoing touchpoints (follow-up stories, client success narratives, community engagement), people drift away. - No Call-to-Action Embedded in Stories Stories inspire, but if they don’t guide the audience toward a next step (join, buy, share), referrals and income stall. Many hubs focus on expression rather than conversion. - Mismatch Between Story and Client Identity If the story reflects the brand’s pride but not the client’s self-image, retention drops. People stay loyal when they see themselves as the hero of the narrative, not just spectators. - Overemphasis on Connection, Underemphasis on Utility Businesses assume “connection” is enough. But retention and referrals require proof of results. Without demonstrating outcomes (better skills, savings, transformation), income plateaus. 🧩 The Core Dynamic They think they’re connecting → but they’re narrating from their own perspective. Clients want stories that mirror their journey, struggles, and victories. When the gap exists, people enjoy the hub but don’t feel compelled to stay, recommend, or invest further.
