🔥FORGET EVERYTHING YOU THINK A BUSINESS EVENT SHOULD BE! 🔥

This isn't going to be a "sit and listen" kind of day. Your laptop will be getting a proper workout at IgniteHER Live on 4th July 2025.

We're busy creating a day for women in business that will actually move the needle – where you'll implement, not just scribble endless notes about things you "should" do someday (cos we know you won't😉 we do it too)!

This day is accessible to all businesses and will cover things like:

🔥Creative ways to tell your brand story that connects with real customers
🔥Practical content creation techniques that won't eat up your precious time
🔥Mindset shifts that clear the path for genuine growth
🔥Self-care practices that support sustainable success..and a goody bag because who doesn't love presents?!

Hosted by Victoria from Alpha Digital Marketing and me Dawn Hurd from Hurd and Co Academy we're bringing together everything we've learned about building businesses that feel good AND get results.

Seriously, this is the business day you've been waiting for – where implementation meets inspiration, and you leave with things DONE, not just planned!

Business Showcase spaces available too – perfect if you want to share your amazing products or services with other brilliant women.

Put July 4th in your calendar.

This is happening.

And it's going to be brilliant.

Tickets are now on sale 🙌

IgniteHER Live is a one-day transformative experience designed for women entrepreneurs who know their business has potential but feel stuck in the daily grind.

Are you using AI? I am but probably not the way you're thinking 🤔 As a small business extra pairs of hands are very welcome especially when they are quite the expert.
I have used AI to build out my workforce and its really helping grow my business.

Used well, it can help with:

👉Figuring out what’s working (and what’s just noise)

👉Actually use it to DO work for you

👉Use it as a powerful marketing tool

And generally giving you more brain space to run your business.

If you’re not tapping into it yet, or only using the odd bit here and there, you’re probably missing a trick and wasting time.

If you want to begin using it effectively for your business then...

Next week’s Mindful Marketing Clinic for female-led businesses is all about practical, real-life ways to start using AI as a support system in your business without needing a tech degree.

🤣 Honestly when I think back I don't know how I lasted for so long 🙈 I had no plan, no idea and definitely no confidence, does this resonate with anyone? Do you have a script you follow when you're sat behind your stall or are you awkwardly winging it? I'd love to know 😊

To ASSUME makes an
ASS out of U and ME 😏
Today someone signed up last minute to my masterclass because she said she ASSUMED it would be too expensive for her so was pleasantly surprised when she actually stopped assuming and asked the question ...."HOW MUCH?"
She could have missed a brilliant opportunity because she didn't have the facts 🫣
Hurd & Co WILL ALWAYS BE ABOUT COMMUNITY, I believe business isn't just about profit so when I get the chance to give back I do. My community knitting group has been running for 3 years in May, my training academy will be my next community giveback.
Affordable support for people just like me, running a home, a family and a business 🤩
