Each day I'll email you full details of that day's action by lunchtime GMT this often will have a Challenge Playsheet so make sure you're signed up with your best email and that you add una@creativeflow.tv to your address book.
Have a look at that day's action(s) and do as much as you can on your own.
Then later each day I go live on the CreativeFlowTV Facebook page at 8pm GMT / 4pm EST / 1pm PST for training and Q&A on that topic. Join us live where possible so that you can do the actions there and then and/or ask questions in the comments.
Each day your instructions will be added below.
On the last day (Friday 23 March) I'll also do a Challenge Q&A where I'll answer your questions on any aspect of the challenge.
To get started and discover how you could be in to win one of the great prizes up for grabs click the 'General Instructions' tab below.
Note: If you signed up via Facebook messenger but didn't add your email address, please scroll back your messages and do that or you won't get the daily Challenge Playsheets.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR PARTICIPATING IN THE CHALLENGE AND COLLECTING POINTS
The LIVE challenge begins on Monday 19 March and runs for 5 days.
However if you are joining part way into the challenge, that’s great too!
You can join the fun at any time and take it at your pace! No deadlines, no pressure! (No prizes either, however the results of the challenge will be reward enough! LOL)
Each ACTION has a #DANCE reference so I can easily tell you which action I am talking about. :-)
You go post your 'Playwork' on the Facebook post making sure that your daily hashtag and answer are in your own comment - not as a reply to somebody else's.
Do your best and the results will come! If you want to skip an action because you’ve already done it before, that's totally okay too.
Just do ensure that you’ve done it to the level that I’m talking about. ;-)
And you don't have to finish the challenge actions for that day on the day, if the timings don't work out. Just by the end of the challenge - I'll announce on the Friday what is the deadline for the completed actions.
BUT.... Don't let this be an excuse NOT to take action and to fall behind. Keep your eye on the prize. ;-)
And most of all - have fun!

DAY 3 - #RUEDA - HOW MUCH DO THEY WANT IT? (10 Points)
You can do the best work in the world, be the best at marketing your offerings yet if your clients don’t REALLY want it then none of that matters. :-(
Work through the Playsheet you were sent and then…

Day 5 - #SAMBA - BECOME A SALES SUPERHERO! (10 Points)
The last few days have been all about getting in front of your ideal high-level prospects and bringing them to the point where they are ready to invest with you.
The sales call is where you get to add the final piece of the jigsaw...
Go through the sales call structure sent to you and look at how you can address any gaps to make this work for you.
Create a bullet point list with the different stages and questions in such a way that it is adapted for YOUR business and core offer. This doesn’t need to be pretty, just effective for you. ;-)
Then use this on every sales call to become a Sales Superhero!
(Note I am unable to give feedback on these, due to time constraints and because this is something I reserve for my clients.)
Then add a comment saying you’ve sent me the message with the hashtag #SAMBA on the POINTS MEAN PRIZESFB post.
DAY 5 - #REGGAETON - VIDEO OF YOUR CHALLENGE TRANSFORMATION (10-30 points)
Have you had AHA’s, insights and and transformations during this 5-Day Challenge?
I would love to hear them!
RECORD a downloadable video of yourself (length doesn't matter) and send it to me via email to una@creativeflow.tv. (You will probably want to use wetransfer.com if it’s a big file size)
Please mention 3 things:
1. How you found the experience over the last 5 days (share before/after) 2. What were your biggest wins - please be specific and include mindset shifts, realisations, identification of gaps, sales numbers, followers numbers , fears overcome, personal gains/wins - ANYTHING. The more specific and thorough you are, the more chance you have to get 30 points as opposed to 10. 3. How you found me as a teacher/coach, what you learnt from me and my strategies and what you will take away.
These will help me improve the challenge in the future.
Go add that you sent it on the POINTS MEAN PRIZESFB post with the hashtag #REGGAETON
Also… Please know that I will use those transformations as future case studies so if you don't want to appear in my marketing material, don't send me one.
And if you do, I really appreciate it! *hugs*

I'm very excited for you to get the most out of this challenge. And as with any challenge in life or business there may be times you're all "I got this!", and other times when you're "why am I doing this again?"
So I thought the following would be a good reminder for you. ;-)
8 Reasons to COMPLETE This Challenge:
Clarity - on you and your business to take focused and inspired actions
PRIZES! - incentives (worth up to £2000) to get you motivated.
Daily Deadlines - if you're like me having deadlines makes a BIG difference! LOL
Accountability - you can get matched with an accountability partner (see the #TANGO task above).
Have FUN! - there's something about working together to overcome a challenge that is fun and inspiring.
Raise Your Prices; WITHOUT Pushback - if you’re too busy to grow your company yet aren't achieving your income goals, then perhaps you're in the right position to increase prices. We'll discuss this during the challenge.
Work ON Your Business - too often day-to-day gets in the way and your longer term ideas don't get implemented. This challenge is a chance to get focused on your future and achieving your goals.
Get Clients Minus Icky Salesy-stuff - discover how to have sales conversations that feel as natural as talking with a friend.
PS Watch this space...
The "Creative Success Code" is my one-to-one coaching programme that my clients use to help them to confidently and profitably stand out from the crowd and attract 4- and 5-figure contracts with their dream clients.
Lotus Seed Life (LSL) is an amazing tool for releasing negatives blocks, beliefs and patterns that could be holding you back from your next level.
Stay tuned for how you may be able to benefit from either or both of these...
"Thank you Una. This whole process has been so brilliant - I could never had got to this place on my own!"
You gently helped me to confront what didn’t work for me and to discover new ways of working that do. Even when I initially didn’t think my ideas were financially feasible, we’ve been able to create a business model and plan that ticks all my boxes.
What a transformative process! With understanding my natural strengths I know now where I fit in ~ I'm more accepting of myself too. Now I feel comfortable in my own skin, and that’s priceless. My new business will build on this and be so much more successful as a result.
Our coaching has been a real eye opener.

"I have not been alone in realising that others have the same fears, issues and brick walls..."
I attended a Group Coaching Programme with Una and a bunch of fellow creative business owners and found the whole experience to be enlightening, both in a personal and business way.
It helped me see what my business has to offer, and as importantly, HOW to offer that.
It's like a mentor programme, but with the added advantage of group work. I have not been alone in realising that others have the same fears, issues and brick walls to get over in order to make my business work in the way I really want.
I already have recommended Una to people I have met since.

“I've already noticed an uptake in my bookings.”
I feel I have benefited in many ways from the Group Coaching including:
* A safe space to ask questions/seek direction
* Re-focusing my energy in the right way
* Finding out my personality profile has helped when tackling jobs I am less than enthusiastic about
* The sessions (Q&A/accountability calls) are like a kick up the backside that are wrapped up in a lovely snuggly blanket. It's only when you take away the blanket that you realise the kick was there pushing you in the right direction.
