Clodagh Meiklejohn invites you to “Discover the Pivotal Shifts and Strategies that Created Massive Income for 6/7 Figure Female Entrepreneurs.“ Meiklejohn says that the series delves into the “strategies and ‘how to’s’ for creating big income breakthroughs…as well as the mindset, energetics and everything else that are part of the journey.”

Do you want to skyrocket your business to your most profitable year yet ? Then you should sign up for the ‘Quantum Leap Your Business’ Masterclass series!

My friend, Clodagh Meiklejohn, has brought together over 20+ leading women experts and influencers (OR 6 & 7 figure female entrepreneurs) to share their insider secrets. They'll reveal the pivotal shifts and strategies that propelled them into their most profitable years. Here are just some of the things you’ll learn:

🔹Key strategies to take you to 6 figures and beyond.
🔹How to dramatically increase visibility/exposure to new clients.
🔹How to automate your business and free up to 80% of your time.
🔹How to build teams and systems for 7 figure CEOs.
🔹Common money blocks/how to break through them at any level of business.
🔹The future of digital platforms/how to leverage them for exponential success.

Just one takeaway from a single interview has the power to be a COMPLETE game-changer for you and your business.

And you can get access to all of it by staying tuned for the email blasts!

There is more exciting news on the jazzpreneur manifestation front. See the fortune cookie inspiration I had delved into for positivity and intuitive manifesting below.

What am I talking about? Re: Manifestation?

In 2024 I became the Creative Innovator Award recipient from the Women of Influence 2024 WIN Awards and #1 in Nanaimo on the 9 million user business platform Alignable.com and ranked as the 20th woman in North America on that platform. I am a jazzpreneur, and business owner currently designing courses and workshops, while promoting my film and music projects. 

More details:

I hope to release a future historic jazz album just of a portion of my past historical work, so I used Toronto’s Eric Alper as my publicist for the film details to get out to the music crowd.

Re: writing, (podcasting), blogging…An additional note is that many of you know that I wrote in the past for the USA's top jazz music magazine, DownBeat. I still judge their critic's poll, and I often write for All About Jazz from time to time and yes recently I wrote extensively about Jim West - what a label! I have just written two recent music-focused articles for INSPIRED 55+. See my website bio for more about my TV and radio work.

I was very happy to recently appear on Paul Finkelstein’s OMG Talk Podcast, omgtalk.com, and I spoke twice (about the Joy of Music & Improvisation, and about Empowerment), at the Women's Spirit Festival in March 2024, from March 8-21.
