SECTION A1

Hello Big-Hearted Friend!

Are you ready for a fresh and meaningful experience that will undeniably transform your life and business?

Is it time for something MORE?

More of the true-to-yourself YOU? More clarity? More freedom or clients you truly LOVE?

More action toward bringing your vision to life? More purpose & profit? More confidence in yourself and what you’re putting out into the world?

SECTION A2

LET US INTRODUCE YOU TO:

The Small Business Bay

our 8 month, high-touch program

to help female entrepreneurs refresh, reimagine, or build-out a deeply-meaningful business, brand, & marketing path

for rewarding results.

Read below how this

HYBRID program

(a unique experience of group + 1-on-1, hands-on support)

is like none other (and might be exactly right for YOU).

SECTION B

It’s time to set you up for the next impact you were made to make in this world.

You’re thinking about new POSSIBILITIES & meaningful GOALS

(on your terms).

And you sense that some hands-on support is what’s going to help you get there.

SECTION C1

Whether you’re a bookkeeper or photographer, life coach or business consultant, interior designer or product creator, fitness instructor or therpaist…

You care about helping others through what you do.

And you’re sensing it’s time to bring more to the world, update what you’ve started, or even make a major pivot…

YOU MIGHT BE FEELING TIRED OF…

• Not having the courage, time, or motivation to “go for it” with that next big thing, step, or life-changing pivot

• Comparing yourself to others, and wondering how you can stand out in the sea of businesses online

• Constant overwhelm, like you just can’t “keep up”

• A lack of clarity for what you should really be doing, who you should be serving, or what you should say online

• The pressure to feel salesey or awkward on social platforms

• Not having a grasp on your marketing or social

SECTION C2

AND MAYBE YOU’VE TRIED…

• Copying others methods, or following all the “shoulds”

• Piecing together multiple plans to try to get a grip on your content creation or brand & marketing online

• Bringing a business to life, but still feeling like you’re living in the shadow of what you could be bringing to the world

Maybe you even know where you want to head…

…but don’t feel equipped with the tools, clear path, accountability — or hey, even just COURAGE — to take action.

And Friend — you’re not alone

SECTION D

In fact, most women struggle with these things as they try to reinvent, build-out, or get a grip on their business and online marketing!

And sadly, many programs, coaches, and courses (even well-intentioned, good quality ones!) are part of the problem…

Because they:

• take you through part of a process, but not the whole journey (so you skip crucial elements, start in the middle, or do things in the wrong order)

• teach you methods that worked well for that coach or mentor, but aren’t aligned with your personality (so you end up confused, burnt-out, feeling pressure to implement things that don’t feel aligned, or serving clients you don’t love)

• teach you how to do something, but leave you without any hands-on help — and let’s face it, you’re not great at everything and would welcome someone taking parts of design, copywriting, or tech off your plate!

• leave you without the accountability or grace-fueled motivation you need to keep moving (because some days are hard)

• sell you on “shiny” marketing methods that won’t work for you yet, because you haven’t built out a foundational brand story first (most people skip this entirely!)

• get you stuck on indecision, because you don’t have any real-time feedback on your effort so don’t move forward

• make you feel discouraged when you can’t keep up (because hey, sometimes you can’t!) so you just end up quitting on the course or program anyway

The Small Business BAY was designed to counteract EVERY ONE of those common struggles.

We want you to have the best possible chance

…to incubate your business for success!

SECTION E

You want the freedom, time, & path to cultivate (and feel PROUD OF of)…

a business you love…

with a brand strategy, marketing plan, and online presence that is designed exactly right for YOU

— your own personality, gifts, joys, and expertise —

In the right order, at the right time.

(And hey, with some hands-on support and even done-for-you elements!)

So you can calmly & confidently gain valuable new clarity, showcase what sets you apart, serve your clients & customers with joy, and step into whatever that next big thing is ahead.

SECTION F

And look forward to saying

HELLO BEAUTIFUL FUTURE!

>>>>>

WHAT IF THIS WAS AHEAD,

BIG-HEARTED FRIEND?

1. meaningful clarity on the direction you want to take your business or vision (and the legacy you’re leaving with the work you do)

2. knowing exactly who you want to serve (& dream clients coming to you)

3. feeling proud of your online presence, visuals, and what you’re bringing to the world

4. feeling in control of your simple & meaningful marketing and content creation routine, even the parts that seem confusing right now

5. collaborations, features, & other new opportunities knocking on your door

6. doing that next brave thing (like speaking, leading, or writing a book)

7. being able to raise your prices or see more profit

   …or even to give-back beyond your wildest imagination!!

SECTION G

Wouldn’t it be great to feel confident in how you (& your business) show-up online — in a defined, beautiful, dream-client-compelling kinda way?

(With a marketing plan that won’t wear you out?)

And Psst… you don’t have to be the loudest voice online to get the attention your business needs.

And you can do it all without feeling awkward or salesey — let your deeply-rooted brand story do the heavy-lifting for you!

SECTION H

I see you, Beautiful:

You’ve lived enough life to have some experience and expertise

(even if you still doubt your own capabilities at times — feel ya!)

Maybe you wear other hats — listening friend, caring caretaker, wife or mom, dependable volunteer, chief laundry-doer (does it every end!?) — or even have another career or business role.

And yep — you probably feel the weight of the world at times (it’s heavy out there!).

But you’re still sensing it’s time to step into SOMETHING MORE

(or bring more of yourself or your business ALIVE ONLINE).

In a refreshed way that feels good to you — like never before.

Whether that’s with your quiet personality, your skilled expertise, your sense of humor, your creativity, your knowledge, your boisterous joy, or your compassionate soul.

SECTION I

Because only YOU can bring exactly what you offer to the world.

You want to do life (& business) with intention & integrity.

You don’t want to leave big dreams on the table (regrets are the worst!).

You value your income, but also a world-changing impact along the way…

(Whatever that looks like for you — within your family, in your business, or giving-back beyond your wildest dreams!!!)

and we want to see big-hearted women like you get all the tools you need

In one beautiful place!

SECTION J

That’s exactly why we created

THE SMALL BUSINESS BAY

A place to “tuck away from the waves”

while you transform what’s possible for you & your business

in one calm, beautiful EXPERIENCE

Enjoying the JOURNEY as much as the destination.

SECTION K

Imagine for a second…

When you think of a BAY, what comes to mind?

For me, it’s calm waters, cozy corners, beautiful scenery, new places to explore, the expertise of locals, that exhilarating waterside lunch with friends, awe-inspiring nature, and rest from the waves (while soaking up the sunshine).

How does that sound about now, Beautiful Friend?

That’s exactly how we want you to feel inside The Bay

(with an entrepreneur twist, of course!)

SECTION L

Ultimately,

we want you to GIVE YOU A HYBRID EXPERIENCE THAT INCLUDES:

-group coaching alongside 1-on-strategy

-teaching alongside elements of done-for-you support

-community alongside accountability

-anything-is-possible mindset alongside grace-fueled authenticity

and TRANSFORM YOUR BUSINESS SO YOU:

-feel the part (clarity & confidence!)

-look the part (visuals)

-sound the part (messaging)

-live out the part (meaningful marketing & beyond)

SECTION M

Because the truth is

no matter how good you are at what you do (and I know you have skills, Friend!)

or how great your idea or vision is…

No one will KNOW you’re ready for that taking on that perfect client or collaborating in that dream experience … unless your online presence communicates that you are!

Which is why we created this beginning-to-end experience…

• gain fresh, freeing clarity

• cultivate a foundational brand story

• create an elevated online presence

• and implement a simple, meaningful marketing plan

Want to see what we mean?

SECTION N

Does this sound a little exhilerating?

Wondering if you belong here?

If we haven’t met, I’m Shannon

Owner here at Feather Blue Studios and founder of The Small Business Bay.

I’ve run multiple small businesses over 15+ years, in more than one industry.

I’ve transitioned, rebranded, & pivoted more than once…

And now feel so deeply called to serve women like you through this unique coaching + creative experience.

I have had to face all-the-fears, feel all-the-feels, and take lots of just-do-it action.

SECTION O

In this crazy online world, there’s a lot of pressure to “keep up,” embrace every trend, or hustle non-stop in order to get attention…

…but that’s not a viable marketing path for most small businesses to keep up with.

Through my own experiences, I’ve uncovered a method to grow followers & clients online that connects me to clients I love, exhilarating collaborations, speaking opportunities, and being able to give-back!

(All within my busy schedule, multi-hat-life, the right fit for my personality, with limited but intentional social, and permission to “grow slow or in bursts” depending on my season of life).

And the fun part is — you don’t have to do marketing just like me for it to work.

I’ve created a flexible path that you can pick and choose from to ensure it works for you.

SECTION P

• I have found my own balance of courage-meets-privacy online (yours might look different)

• figured out how to use social media without wearing myself out (introverted here)

• embraced that everything-is-figureoutable

• and chosen boldness in baby-steps (my purpose is bigger than my fear!)

(AND HEY, ENJOYED A LOT OF CHAI-TEA, DARK CHOCOLATE, & FAMILY TIME ALONG THE JOURNEY).

Along the way, I have been creating our signature curriculum

that’s unlike anything else out there

(at least that’s what I’m told by the women who go through it!)

SECTION Q

With all the calamities of recent years (in our lives & online) I felt compelled to create a calm yet fiercely motivating space where women with big-hearts could set aside the worries of the world and build out their reimagined brand and business.

So they could take courageous action

It’s been a journey — with a large dose of my own ups & downs, growth-moments, and hard work — but without a doubt, I know this space matters.

thE BAY is MY BIG VISION TO SERVE you & your business.

to help you see the big goals, on your big-heart, realized.

SECTION R

Is it time to SAY YES to this kind of transformation, Friend?

Are you committed to getting there?

Are you ready to put in the real effort, so you can make the impact you want to make in this world?

SECTION S

LET’S GET SPECIFIC…

Here’s what you actually GET when you join this 8 month program, inside The Small Business Bay…

SCROLL THROUGH THE INCLUSIONS

>>>>>>>

SECTION T

That’s a crazy amount of VALUE in one place, right?

INVESTMENT COMPARISON & VALUE

YOU COULD hire any (or ALL) of this expertise ONE BY ONE…

Going that route, you might hire:

• A business coach - for $1500 to $10,000

• A marketing team - for $2,000 to $5,000

• A mindset coach - for $1000 to $5000

• A money coach or financial team - for $1000 to $3000

• A brand strategist - for $1500 to $5000

• An accountability group - for $500 to $2000

• A copywriter to review your work - $500 to $5000

• A graphic designer - $500 to $2000

• A tech support desk to help when you get stuck - $500 to $1000

• Loads of stock photos, templates, and more - $100 to $3000

• Not to mention a lawyer you get get questions answered on foundational business admin or start-up issues? - (see disclaimer*) - PRICELESS!!!

You could easily spend a total of: $9000 to $40,000+ to get all of these services, separately.

And even then, you’d have to start fresh with each new consultant, taking the time to explain your personality, your brand story, your purposes, your style…

(do you know how many intro questionnaires to fill out that is!?!?)

Let me tell you, the time & energy that part takes is FOR REAL, Friend!

SECTION U

The good news is…

even with a collaborative TEAM of women serving, teaching, and supporting you inside The BAY,

we’re not going to ask you to invest anywhere near the $9000 to $40,000 that you might otherwise…

SECTION V

We want to help you use both YOUR TIME & MONEY wisely

All while keeping you at the level of focus, motivation, and let’s face it — emotional energy — you need to put the time in and make it all happen!

AND save you MONTHS — if not YEARS…

Of trying to do this all on your own, or piece by piece, or mis-matched course by course…

(not to mention all the potential wasted dollars!!)

APPLY NOW & LET’S CONNECT!

When you apply, we’ll review your application to make sure we feel we can genuinely help you.

You’ll have the option to request a free, no-pressure connect call before you commit, or let us know you’re ready to dive right in!

SECTION Y

AND HEY, WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE investment IS a factor as you make a wise & discerning decision

We ABSOLUTELY want you to make solid financial decisions as you invest in your future.

But do you know what’s an equal consideration to the cost?

• The COST of waiting.

• The COST of being exactly where you still are in 1 year. Or 5 years. Or 10 years.

• The COST of wasted time and back-tracking when you do things in the wrong order.

• The cost of piecing multiple things together on your own.

• The COST of not being able to serve those who need you, because they didn’t know you existed.

Every day you wait is more time & money LOST of your dreams, legacy, impact, and income — not to mention the regrets!

Rarely does anything new feel like “the right timing” — but the good news is, you can choose to make things happen.

SECTION Z

And until you truly COMMIT to seeing a reinvented future (with your time, finances, and accountability)…

the finish line might just be a fleeting thing

(and we don’t want that!)

In fact — more than anything,

we want to PROPEL YOU FORWARD.

To see you be a bright light in this world, changing lives through what you find joy in doing!

Making more progress than many people ever will.

SECTION Z1

Ultimately Friend, what you’re really investing in is both the JOURNEY + THE FINISH LINE.

You want to find JOY in your experience, but also see end-results.

It’s more important that ever that you earn TRUST & CONNECTION ONLINE with your brand (in seconds, no less!)…

And if your business isn’t putting the right elements and messaging out into the world (in the most compelling way possible)…

you’re doing a disservice to the audience that needs you the most

Meaning >>> you CAN’T help the people who you truly have a heart to serve!

.

SECTION Z2

We get it… the world is constantly changing, and

none of us know the future.

But I know, without a doubt, that YOU MATTER.

And when things MATTER…

…it just makes sense to take good care of them.

Which is why I’d love to help you plant or water, tend & cultivate your business inside The Small Business Bay.

SECTION Z3

Feeling the tug that the Bay might be right for you?

Excited but a little scared?

Feel ya.

But please don’t let uncertainty, fear, or doubt rob you of the vision, the calling, the business, or the pivot you have in your heart and mind.

Excitement mixed with FEAR is normal Friend.

And I’ve been there too.

Leaning into courage (while still feeling the fear) has been one of the most impactful things I’ve ever done.

ASK YOURSELF:

“Could what I want to ACCOMPLISH be on the other side of this experience?”

If the answer is YES, you have nothing to lose by applying…

APPLY NOW!

SECTION Z4

We’re ready to welcome you into this

calm & inspiring space…

…where you can sail your ship (aka you!) to shore for a WHILE, park in the bay, anchor, re-fuel

…and build-out (or rejuvenate) this whole online business thing.

With deep purpose & real results.

(And, quite honestly, someone to talk through decisions or hand things off to once in awhile.)

SECTION Z5

Want to talk to SHANNON DIRECTLY TO GAUGE IF THIS might be THE right FIT for you?

No problem, when you apply you’ll have the chance to book a no-pressure call or video chat if you’d like, or simply let us know you’re ready to go!

SECTION Z6

And if you’re wondering…”Do I really need EVERYTHING here?”

SURE, YOU MIGHT NOT NEED EVERY ELEMENT in The Bay…

(in fact, you might already be an expert in one of these areas!)

BUT THE VALUE IS great…

EVEN IF YOU ONLY USE HALF OF WHAT WE’RE OFFERING!

SECTION Z7 (all of note)

A PERSONAL NOTE

FROM SHANNON’S HEART

Dear Big-Hearted Friend,

Let me wrap up this page by speaking to you very personally for just a minute.

First of all, I created The Bay because I felt called to serve you — help you bring the most confident and fulfilling version of YOU to your life and brand. No matter what you believe — I deeply believe your talents and personality are unique gifts from God, who designed you with purpose — and I want to see you live those out that purpose to the FULLEST — for your own joy and for the good of those around you!

I know that making big decisions can feel scary at times (I have been there!). I know that taking a leap feels like jumping out into the unknown.

But what if… what if that “unknown” and brave choice started you along an astoundingly beautiful journey, so much more meaningful & impactful than you could possibly imagine right now?

What if your future, your confidence, your impact, your legacy could look wonderfully differently — in the very best of ways?

Let’s get something straight…. I am in no way “better than you” or “have it all figured out.” Goodness, no. We’re all in this thing called life together, helping each other along the way.

I’m also NOT naturally BRAVE, in case you were wondering. Courage is a growth process, one that I have intentionally chosen, because I feel passionate about using my gifts & talents in this world to help others (rather than hiding them).

I can say in all honesty, the most personal & business growth I have ever experienced happened when I:

• invested money in myself & business (the motivation)

• surrounded myself with community & accountability (the joy)

• had a deadline / finish line in sight (the commitment)

I wanted to a create a feel-good, safe space with not only all three of those aspects, but also a plethora of additional support along the way — because I can’t emphasize enough how much I want to see you follow through, grow, and succeed (in whatever capacity that looks like to you).

I have thought deeply about how to put all of what you need into one cozy space — and while I am always adding or improving (trial & error is ok!) — The Bay is about as close as it gets to the space I’ve envisioned for serving big-hearted women like you.

Cheering you on!

With Purpose & Joy,

Shannon

SECTION Z8 (all of give-back section)
