    Claire has been an amazing support.

I'm much more motivated and feel like I am slowly gathering all the tools I need to help me through it. Claire has been an amazing support, she can relate exactly to where we are at and offer really helpful advice and strategies to simplify the most overwhelming tasks.

My private conscious business circle membership is specifically designed for...

  • SUSTAINABLE BRANDS

    This membership is designed for emerging and established sustainable fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands, labels and businesses.

  • ETHICAL BRANDS

    This membership is designed for emerging and established ethical brands, fair trade brands and consicous founders.

  • CIRCULAR BUSINESSES

    This membership is designed for emerging and established circular brands, recycled businesses and upcycled designers.

  • PURPOSE-DRIVEN RETAILERS

    This membership is designed for emerging and established purpose-driven retailers and stores of fashion, beauty and lifestyle products.

Running a sustainable business is hard. This makes it easier.

I'm running a business and feel so busy already. Will I have time for the masterclass calls?

You can fit this membership around your existing work week. Tune in LIVE or watch the replays when you get a chance. You can come back to the recordings again and again whenever you need a refresher. Calls are recorded and your once-off joining fee gives you lifetime access. Calls include strategies to improve your business and save you time too, so you might feel busy now but with a little help, you'll feel a lot better soon. I'm handing over my templates, how-to guides and plans to help you cut down hours and create work-life balance. This is about making more sales and working less.

I don't have an advertising or marketing budget. Will I have to spend on Facebook ads to grow with these strategies?

Nope! I grew a six-figure business with a zero-dollar budget, and I made my first $500,000 in sales without spending a single dollar on Facebook advertising. I know how to make sales without a marketing budget and that's what I'm sharing with you - the free strategies I used to grow my business. We host a Facebook advertising masterclass for those who are ready for that step, but the rest of the teachings include organic growth methods. You can learn about Facebook and Google Ads if you want to. Take what you need, and leave what you don't need! Everything else you'll learn inside is free to implement; you'll just need to apply a little time and elbow grease.

I'm not tech savy. Do I have to use a complicated online program to access this community?

Nope! I've made this super easy for you. You'll be emailed all the links you need each month to tune into our calls, along with your video masterclass and tutorial recordings. Just follow the links in your email - easy! It's hosted on a platform called Skool and it's all in one place: calls, your calendar, the replays, the forum, everything. It's easy to use and easy to follow, so masterclass calls are recorded in a step-by-step format that you can re-watch, and downloads are delivered directly to your inbox to re-read, or revisit as much or as little as you need. Easy!

Is this for new or established businesses?

Both. You're in the right place if you're new to running a business and you're also in the right place if you've been running your business for a while too! This is designed for ethical and sustainable businesses of all sizes. You'll learn through a step-by-step process with videos, tutorials, workbooks, and downloadable templates, so it doesn't matter if your business is a month old, a year old or a decade old, you'll find the strategies and resources you need to increase your sales and improve your business. Business can always be better, no matter what stage of business you're in!

I've tried online courses and they haven't helped. How is this different?

Spending money on growth is a big step, especially when the budget is tight, so I understand your hesitation. I've been disappointed with other online courses too, which is why I've created something truly unique. Our masterclass calls include only valuable information and you'll receive all the business blueprints you need. I'm here to make the world a better place through business - and that means helping you as much as I can by giving you everything I know, because your success means more of a positive impact! This is also specifically designed for sustainable businesses, ethical brands, circular businesses and purpose-driven companies. I'm not sharing general information; I'm sharing industry-specific, niche-specific information. I'm an award-winning business operator, an award-winning social media marketer, and an experienced CEO in charge of multiple businesses, so I know what works and what doesn't. Most online courses are taught by people who operate out of a textbook or people who have never actually owned and operated a business, but I'm teaching tried and tested, real and reliable industry-specific strategies for growth. It's real experience, not textbook or internet theory.

Specifically for ethical, sustainable, circular and conscious businesses, brands and labels.

Learn how to make more sales and make the world a better place with your sustainable business.
