We think Paige’s words sum up perfectly what Launchpad can be about.

When Paige joined us, she had creativity, ambition and plenty of ideas, but wasn’t quite sure which direction to take them. Through workshops, 1-2-1 support and guidance from the Launchpad team, she’s built her confidence, developed her ideas and found a way forward that works for her and her family. 🍑

We shared Paige’s story recently, but if you missed it first time around, it’s well worth a read.

📱 Struggling with what to post? Let’s make content easier.

Staying visible online doesn’t have to mean constantly coming up with something new.

Join us for Creating Engaging Marketing Content, a practical Launchpad session designed to help you plan ahead, get more from the content you already have and take some of the stress out of marketing your business.

📅 Wednesday 11 November 2026
⏰ 10:00am – 1:45pm

We’ll look at understanding your ideal customer, spotting gaps in your existing content, creating a content calendar, using keywords for inspiration, exploring different content formats and - importantly - how to repurpose one piece of content across multiple platforms. There’ll also be time to ask questions and get tailored advice.

👉 Book your place: Creating Engaging Marketing Content – https://enterprisingbarnsley.co.uk/events/creating-engaging-marketing-content-2026-11-11-10-00creating-engaging-marketing-content-1

☕ THE SUNDAY SLOWDOWN SERIES

There's always another email to answer. Another idea to explore. Another job that could just quickly get done.

When you're building a business, the to-do list rarely has an end.

But here's your Sunday reminder: you don't have to finish everything before you're allowed to switch off.

Some things can wait until Monday. And that's absolutely fine. 💛

💛 Behind every business is a person. And that person matters.

The person juggling a hundred things. The one quietly worrying about the next step. The one celebrating the little wins while carrying challenges nobody else sees.

Running a business can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be tough.

This World Mental Health Day, a little reminder to our business community: your wellbeing matters just as much as your ambitions.

Take time for yourself. Check in on someone else. And remember, you don't always have to have everything figured out.

Look after the person behind the business. 💛

What a lovely bit of feedback! 💛

We recently welcomed another group to our Marketing Masterclass, hosted by the incredible Laura – and we couldn’t resist sharing this comment from one of our attendees:

💬 “One of the best presentations I have ever attended (and I’ve seen a lot!). Full of useful information & well paced.”

That’s exactly what we want our Launchpad sessions to be – practical, useful and packed with information you can actually take away and apply to your business.

A huge thank you to Laura for delivering another brilliant session, and to everyone who joined us and got involved. 👏

Keep an eye on our upcoming Launchpad workshops – you never know what you might learn next! 🚀
