Mandie Holgate

Who's joining us?

I love a few hours inspiring and empowering business owners and charities to great things!

October Essex Networking and business growth events - Face to Face Unique, productive, fun, networking and business growth - INsiders can gain new business at EVERY EVENT - can you?

3 members of the INsiders who have been networking with me since 2010, 2013 and 2015 emailed me to say "Hey Mand, you used to do discounts for us loyal networkers, where are they!"

So here they are.

Thanks for reminding me.

I don't like take money off of hard working business owners, I much prefer making money with you.

Don't worry if you aren't local to me, I find the virtual events even more productive and profitable and our members are from Italy to Scotland!

Do join us.

How do you innovate? I mean REALLY invent better ways to work, to be productive, to serve your customers, to make your staff happier?
Did you know we've become a professional world scared to take risks?

Our ability to take well thought out risks is at an all time low, which means we are becoming more reliant on small wins that are less likely to make any lasting change to team, business, management or you.

So how do you think differently AND TAKE ACTION?

I start with crazy.
I get teams to dream big and daft.
I ask "If anything would help what would you do?"

In one session a team suggested they have Puppy Friday and while that's totally unrealistic on further probing they realised they just needed a bit of space and time. And that could easily be achieved, and thus Cake Friday was launched. Once every 2 weeks for 1 hour they talked about anything but work and ate cake - the knock on effects with the coaching process we used was phenomenal!

Another client was working long hours and things in their industry are so fast paced they were struggling to learn the new AI, market their company, look after their growing teams needs (and their training) and not get home at midnight! We didn't actually clone the client, or double the staff but we did look at the layout of the office and how it didn't benefit them, their team or their communication and all because we started by talking about making it Christmas every month!

Another occasion the boss made it clear to me before hand "Mandie, there is NO MORE MONEY, so don't talk money." So we talked money.....as the boss glared at me like I was hell on their head, by facing the elephant in the room we could start to see what money would do for the team. And what that team really wanted was to be seen.
To feel valued.
The bosses was now grinning at me as they told me that this was easily achieved. They loved their team and so things were put into place so the team knew how much they were appreciated - and profits went up as a result. We hadn't even started with profits as our primary goal!

You see, when the mind is allowed to wander and not stay in the depths of the problem, it will invent solutions.

So if you want puppies in the office, the real question is, what does that give you? What does that solve? What does that stop you from looking at?
What really needs fixing?

Reframe the ahit out of anything!
And I mean anything...

The good news about a healing eyeball is I'm ready for the mega short day (so I rest that eyeball back to perfection!) in minutes.

Can't wear eye make up.
Need the hat to block out light so pointless doing my hair.

And how to reframe that ?

I haven't got to look at me!


🤣🤣🤣

REMEMBER its a lot harder to get through s**t if you aren't calm. Not this high energised positive bulls**t that's shoved down our throats

Calm.
Calm...I've got this.
Calm....breathe.
Calm...trust it will get better.
Calm...nothing stays the same.

Calm....a things possible.

Calm enables good thinking.
Which gives you solutions and healing and innovation and happiness. Now. Not later on...right now!

"Know on a good day how to get through a bad day"
The above has been an essential strategy for years!

Everyone should build a mental health toolkit so they can get through anything!

Insiders look after each other. I know you will.
I've an ulcer on my eyeball so playing eye drops every half hour for 24 hours after a fun night out at A and E.

C u on the other side!

Not coming back to FB for at leat 48 hours. Sorry.

Halloween wasn't a walk the streets deal for my family, it was always a family day and for the last years the children were home it was usually in Disneyland Paris dressed up and pretending to be scared!

Today I really wish you could be here Sophie Holgate and Harrison Holgate I miss you.

So I'm not in the mood for scary crappy lazy marketing DMs and emails so this witch won't be holding back today.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Sorry.....not remotely sorry.

INsiders will get the polar opposite and a day of this witch super charged using the magic of this day (whatever you believe) to make great things happen.

Ask and you will receive!

I'm going live on the INsiders to share how to make a sale in 5 minutes...I never delete content so watch at your leisure.
Make a sale fast though, or I will be very sad!

Some of my favourite words to come out of a leads mouth are...
"That's enough stalking, Mandie let's do it."

Today I get to work with that person.
Happy place!
Happy place!
Happy place!

INsiders I will be about after 11.40. # # #

Did you know that UGC will be an essential form of marketing for most companies into 2025?

Did you know that hyper personalisation is not just for big business and how you can benefit?

Did you know there are £850 billion in physical assets in UK homes and how this could be become big business (for you) in 2025?

Did you know the biggest concern to UK residents is not immigration?

Did you know the UK stand to become big players in EdTech in 2025 and why?

Did you know the worlds middle class is growing and what that means for business?

Did you know the 10 fastest growing industries, why and how to get involved?

I know the answers to these questions and many more.

Over 20,000 pages of trend reports researched and studied to save you time and a trend report written by me and reviewed by Paul Hutton and Stephen Harvard Davis (who I hold in the utmost esteem).

This event is not to be missed!

The INsiders Trend Report - For those serious about sustainable 2025 growth Understand how global, national and regional events & issues ripple through to every aspect of life - Even down to people’s buying power.

I realised in a conversation with a client yesterday that I'm pretty cruel.
I don't faff and that can look harsh, however to me if we faff you do get more time to off load however you also spend more money with me. (And I never want clients or INsiders spending a lot of money with me.)

I want to get to the situation where many aspects of the way you think, the way you act or tackle goals and obstacles becomes second nature so that I'm unemployed.

Yes because I genuinely care about every INsider like their business, staff and goals were my own, so I am always learning and keen to ensure everything I learn is shared with INsiders.

In recent times I've read a lot on dialectical behaviour therapy, research papers on resilience, equality, human dynamics and far too many reports on global trends and their butterfly effect through to every one of us and marketing trends and the changing needs of consumers and how to maximise on this knowledge.

For instance did you know Russia is getting rich having a war and consumers globally are paying one of the many prices for that?

I dont always bring sexy conversations and some of the things I share are harsh and in your face so I guess I'm not for everyone, however I know that no matter what we face we can and will grow businesses. We have to know the risks and obstacles to navigate them right?

It's really quite easy with me and as my client yesterday said;

1. Mandie I have to give you £25 a month.
2. I have to tell you and or the INsiders who we need to connect with and what we are working on or struggling with.
3. I have to actually rock up.
4. I have to actually do what you say.
5. Bingo it works, it's not f**king rocket science (my client is as straight talking as me!😁)

Ready for non rocket science does does what you need Mentoring and support in your business and life?
Join the INsiders, we've a lot of exciting developments coming up and INsiders always get the best possible price on everything.

I don't want their money, I want to help them make a lot more of it!
