Feedback from a few people I've helped 🫶
"
How do you thank someone who stopped you from giving up on your business and helped you discover your true purpose?
For years, I was held back by a missing link that I couldn’t identify—until I worked with Steph Blake.
She helped me find it in a Mastermind where we shared our businesses, fears, and mindsets in a safe, supportive space.
Despite never having met Steph before, the experience was transformative. I’ve worked with countless coaches and invested significant time and money without seeing results, but none understood my mission and passion like Steph.
She grasped my "why" almost better than I did.
What makes Steph unique is how much she truly cares. She listens deeply and finds the simplest, most effective strategies to help you start or scale your business.
Thanks to Steph, I now believe I can build the business I’ve always envisioned. The outcome exceeded my expectations.

When I found Steph, I had already spent 8 months searching for how to grow from an unprofessional blogger to a professional, recognizable business in my industry.
No one seemed to offer that 'secret sauce'—the guidance you need when you're trying to grow, but don't have enough time to do it all yourself or the money to hire help.
When I saw a bundle that she hosted, I immediately thought, 'This is the woman I need to learn from.'
And I was right!
Steph provided exactly what I had been searching for all year but couldn’t find anywhere else.
She’s been the missing piece I needed to take my business to the next level!"

Hey, I'm Steph Blake 👋
I'm that crazy woman who is obsessed with working less than 20 hours per week & making a full-time income 🤪
...AND I WANT TO HELP MAKE THAT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TOO!
It's really easy to fall into the trap of overworking & not getting the results you want.
With over 20 years of experience in marketing and 10 years running my own business, I’ve been there—I worked the 80+ hour weeks chasing the elusive “6-figures per year” goal.
But when I found out I was pregnant with my first son, I realized that I needed to figure out a way to leave my 9-5 job and go full-time in my business.
So I created a SIMPLE solution that my ADHD brain could understand & implement...quickly!
For the past 6 years, I have taught this method to thousands of people, retired my husband in early 2022 from his 9-5 job & consistently work <15 hours/week while making 6+ figures.

Simple Strategies to Get Press for Your Business with Jon Mest
"Technology is for disrupting things that need to be disrupted, and we'll talk a lot more about the public relations industry in general and what it has been and what it will be."- Jon Mest
In today’s crowded business world, getting press coverage can feel like trying to run uphill in roller skates—awkward, exhausting, and full of stumbles.
But the good news? Modern PR strategies are changing the game, making it easier (and less painful) for small businesses to grab the spotlight without hiring expensive agencies.
On a recent episode of The Simple Business Show™, PR expert Jon Mest shared actionable insights to help you build brand awareness and connect with your audience in ways that actually work.
The PR Landscape Has Changed (And It’s About Time)
Once upon a time, PR was synonymous with pricey agencies and secret handshakes with exclusive media contacts. Today, things are different.
According to Jon Mest, PR has shifted into a more open, DIY-friendly landscape where businesses can connect directly with journalists, influencers, and bloggers.
This democratization of media means that you—yes, you with the brilliant business idea—can tell your story and reach the right audience without breaking the bank.
How to Leverage Influencers and Micro-Media
Forget chasing national news outlets if you’re just starting out. PR success often lies in finding your niche. Jon emphasizes the power of influencers, bloggers, and podcasters who connect with your ideal audience.
Not sure where to start? Think local.
A wedding photographer might pitch to a local wedding blogger, while a health coach could target fitness influencers who focus on specific age groups or lifestyles.
The key is to focus on quality over quantity. A loyal audience of a few thousand can often drive more impact than a faceless crowd of millions.
Crafting a Winning PR Strategy
Here’s your crash course in small business PR:
Identify Your Audience: Who are you trying to reach, and what media do they consume? Narrowing this down will save you time and effort.
Tell a Story That Matters: Journalists don’t care about your sales goals—they care about stories that will hook their audience. Share a unique angle, a surprising insight, or even a quirky customer success story.
Plan Ahead: A PR strategy isn’t about winging it. Map out a 12-month calendar to align your pitches with seasonal trends, product launches, or relevant industry events.
Pro Tip: If your business slows down during the summer, pitch stories in advance that will keep your name in the spotlight when things heat back up.
PR is About Relationships, Not Transactions
Jon couldn’t stress this enough: PR isn’t just about landing one killer story—it’s about building long-term relationships. Personalize your pitches, engage authentically with journalists and influencers, and focus on providing value.
When you make these connections, you’re not just earning media coverage; you’re building credibility that can compound over time.
Earned Media > Paid Media (Most of the Time)
While there’s a place for paid media, earned media often packs more punch. Why? Because it feels more authentic. People trust a genuine feature in their favorite blog or podcast way more than a flashy ad.
Jon’s advice: Focus your efforts on earning coverage by delivering value and solving problems for your audience. Save the paid media for when you’re ready to scale.
How to Take Action Today
Getting started with PR doesn’t require a degree in journalism or a massive budget. Here’s how you can dive in:
Start Small: Write a pitch around a compelling aspect of your business. (Hint: Focus on how you’re solving problems or making an impact.)
Use Tools Wisely: Platforms like Just Reach Out can help you find media contacts and manage your outreach.
Keep Going: Persistence is key. Not every pitch will land, but every connection you make brings you closer to your goal.
