It’s time you stop copying what your competitors are doing. 

The fact that they’re in the same nich as you doesn’t mean you’re playing the same game. 

Your business, your values, your brand and your audience are diffrent. 

Their business might be all shiny on the outside but scamble on the inside. 
There’s no way of knowing what’s really going on behind the scenes. 
Their “transparency” might be just an act. 

I don’t think I need to spend much time on explaining the difference in values and branding. Your values can be very similar but you embody them in a different way than someone else would which also changes how your audience perceives your brand. 

The audience you attract will differ from the audience that your competitors attract. 
We’re all different humans. All with unique traits. All click with different humour, style and personalities. 

So if you try to copy someone else’s marketing because you THINK it’s successful, you’re not doing yourself any favours. 

I’m not saying that you need to re-invent the wheel and never look around for a bit. I encourage that. Do your research. 

But please don’t copy what you see to the detail.

It’s not original. It won’t resonate the same way as it did for them. And it isn’t guaranteed to work for you just because it did for them. 

Research but put on your critical glasses before you copy&paste. 

If you’re planning a sales campaign that will work for YOU and YOUR business but don’t know how to shape it message me ‘SPRINT’

My plan for the first day back:

→ Remember what I was doing before I logged off for Christmas.
→ Look through all the notes I wrote for myself.
→ Start diving into work and running a biz again.

2 weeks break was much needed and very well spent.

Now, it's time to get back to a routine.

PS: Happy New Year everyone 🥳

How are you finding getting back to a routine in the New Year?

In 2026, I'm creating the spaces I wish to see in the world.

I'm from Slovakia.
And if you know nothing about the country at all, know this - we do NOT do small talk.

It's something that's not really in our culture. And we avoid it like a plague.

When I met Karis Gill last year, we clicked instantly.

Like me, she doesn't do small talk.
We want to connect.
On a deeper level.

Without the chitchat that makes all my body hair go up when I find myself in a small talk conversation 🤢

That's why we're creating a space for more of you who feel the same.

The fun online networking for founders that's fun and skips the bullsh*t weather talk.

If you are like us, come and join us for the first time: Screw The Small Talk

It's free, and we had 5 people join us before we even launched this on socials. Whohooo 🥳

The first session is hosted on the 14th of Jan at 12PM (UK)! 
Are you coming?

Here’s what most business owners forget about and the reason their revenue goals stay on paper and don’t become a reality.

In January, everyone’s coming back with BIG goals for the year.

Ready to publish your campaigns on LinkedIn:

You post.
You tweak.
You hope.
And somehow… nothing moves.

If that’s you, this isn’t a discipline problem.

You’re not lazy.
You’re not inexperienced.
You’re not “bad at selling”.

You’re operating without a campaign structure.

No clear buildup.
No final push.
No system for when it actually matters.

Posting more won’t fix that.
Consistency without intent is just noise.

Hope is not a strategy.

That’s exactly why I created LinkedIn Profit Sprint.

You don’t need a full rebrand.
You don’t just need a content overhaul.

You need a short, focused strategy designed to turn chaos into control and silence into signal.

Calm instead of scrambling.
Clarity instead of last minute panic.
Real conversations opening instead of quiet inboxes.

If this is landing, DM me the word SPRINT.
No pressure. Just a conversation.

I've been excited for this for weeks, and The HoLT Directory is finally live  🥳
(And I'm the founding member)

Most of us got burned at some point in running our business. 
And hated the disappointment creeping in after.

That's why I'm so happy this idea came to life.

Easy to use and free to access.

It's a directory filled with 100s of trusted expert small business owners offering all sorts of services. 

The best part? 
You'll find no knobs on the list. 

If you're looking for reliable experts you can actually trust, this is a link you need to bookmark.

(Did you find me there?)

PS: Lea 🌈 Turner and Robyn MacMillan thank you for putting this together.

Let me guess - the last time you launched on LinkedIn:

✅ You started with high energy
✅ You had a big vision and even a bigger goal
✅ You felt like "this is IT!"

You posted daily and checked your DMs at least 7x a day, feeling like something SHOULD be happening by now.

You re-wrote your posts at night because they didn't do as well as you'd have hoped.

The only engagement you got was from peers, friends and AI.
Yet, no one buys.

You tell yourself you'll push harder tomorrow.

Then halfway through your launch, you quietly lose momentum, call it and tell yourself that people aren't buying right now. Hoping the next launch will be better.

And that's when doubt creeps in.

Is the offer not someting my clients want anymore?
Are people bored of me?
Is LinkedIn still working?

That's not the problem.

People still need your help.
They aren't bored of you.
Yes, LinkedIn is still working for business owners.

Your real problems are:

You don't have a clear campaign strategy.
You're not pacing yourself and looking after your sales energy.
You don't understand the buyer's behaviour and when to push harder.

There is a different - BETTER - way to do this.

It's exactly what LinkedIn Profit Sprint is built for.
If this felt a little too accurate, DM me "THIS IS ME"

Founders: 
🗣️ Is LinkedIn really working for service based business owners? 

Meanwhile, my client’s words:
🗣️ Any service-based business that is looking to grow their revenue and isn’t on LinkedIn is mad. Like wtf are people even doing if they’re not selling and closing on LinkedIn? 

Made me laugh 😂 
(Her words not mine)
