From Accidental 17 Hires to Intentional Community: Hub Launch, Networking Wins, and Your No-BS Xmas Marketing Playbook

Drowning in dead-end networking, chaotic socials, and already seeing Christmas in September? Same. That’s why this week we dropped something big, laughed at ourselves (a lot), and gave you a clear plan to sell by Dec 1, even if you start today.We’ve launched the Rebel Directory inside the Rebellious Business Hub (finally!) so you can be found, seen, and hired by the right people without shouting into the void. We also shared wins from rebels who launched their own events and started converting fast. And yes, we tackled the “is it too early for Christmas?” question with a real strategy you can actually use.📌 Topic #1: Rebel News — Hub + Directory LaunchWe revealed the Rebellious Business Hub and the brand-new Rebel Directory: searchable profiles, AI-powered common ground, link blocks for your lead magnets, and a simple way for rebels to actually find and hire you. It’s £5/month, and yes, it’s as good as it sounds.📌 Topic #2: Shoutouts, Wins & Wild Stories– John Drinkwater is buzzing, launched multiple live Zoom events and built serious momentum (LordZoom.com).– Matt Black launched The Network Shortcut (Mon lunch network), got sign-ups, engagement, and actual referrals from event one.– Plus: we unpacked an all-time classic Spill It story,“I accidentally employed 17 people”and laughed our way through tech hiccups and dating app chaos. You’re welcome.📌 Topic #3: Christmas Already?! Your Dec 1 PlanOur take: Not too early to plan. Too early to be cringey.Here’s the move: build a Connection Funnel now, run live events, warm your list, and stack conversations that convert. Then roll into Black Friday and Dec 1 with a warm audience and a simple, passive sales email sequence. No cold-pitch panic. No beige content.Start today, sell by Dec 1. Done.✨ Got a Question?
