Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to common questions about Take Control’s services.
When does the Personal Brand Membership launch?
We’re officially launching in Summer 2025. Right now, I’m working with a small group to make sure everything’s perfect for you.
I’ve worked with marketing people before and didn’t get results. What’s different here?
I get that a lot. And honestly, it’s one of the reasons I started Take Control in the first place. Too many businesses are promised results with no real strategy, no follow-through, and no accountability. That’s not how I work.
I don’t sell generic packages or hand over a PDF and disappear. I get stuck in with you, building strategies that are tailored to your business, and then helping you actually implement them. I focus on clarity, consistency, and long-term impact. No fluff. No quick fixes. Just honest, hands-on support that moves your business forward.
What makes a great client fit for Take Control?
If you’re passionate about your business but feeling stuck or unsure how to grow, you’re in the right place.
The best fit for me is someone who’s open to ideas, ready to collaborate, and committed to taking action, even if they’re not sure what that looks like yet.
You don’t need to know all the answers. You just need to be willing to show up, trust the process, and be honest about your goals. I’ll bring the strategy, creativity, and support to help you get there.
If you want a hands-off, set-and-forget fix, that’s not me.
But if you’re ready to take control and work together on building something meaningful and effective, I’d love to chat.
What happens after I reach out?
Once you get in touch, I’ll personally reply within a couple of working days. If it sounds like we’re a good fit, we’ll book a free discovery workshop, in-person, to chat through your goals, challenges, and where you might need support.
There’s no pressure or hard sell. It’s a chance for us to see if working together makes sense and what the next steps could look like. Whether you’re ready to dive in or just exploring your options, I’ll make sure you leave our first call with clarity.
How much does it cost to work with you?
I focus on delivering real value in a way that’s genuinely cost-effective for small businesses. There’s no fixed pricing because every business is different, but I’ll always give you a clear, upfront quote and help you prioritise what will make the biggest impact within your budget.
If you’re open and honest about what you can spend, I’ll be just as transparent about what’s possible. I won’t sell you anything you don’t need, and I’ll always look for ways to make the most of your budget. No pressure, no upselling, just honest support that fits where you are right now.
