Never Start a Month
at Zero Again

Practical, down-to-earth ideas on memberships, recurring income, and building a business that doesn't need you to be "on" all the time.

Every month, thousands of brilliant women reset to zero and start selling from scratch all over again. There's a better way - and it starts with understanding how small, consistent recurring income adds up faster than you think.

Why these emails are different

Real membership insights and behind-the-scenes secrets

I've been running memberships since 2013, and in that time I've generated over £2 million in recurring income - not by having thousands of members or launching every five minutes, but by building something steady, manageable, and genuinely sustainable.

These emails are where I share what I've learned along the way. The maths behind memberships (it really is simpler than you think). The mindset wobbles I still get, and how I handle them. The small tweaks that made a big difference. The things that sounded brilliant but absolutely didn't work.

I write these emails the same way I'd tell a friend about something that worked - sitting at the kitchen table, probably with a cuppa going cold. Honest about what's worked, honest about what hasn't, and always with the maths to back it up.

"Forty members at £25 a month. That's £1,000 of recurring income - before you've written a single piece of new content."

Hi, I'm Claire Mitchell

I'm a business mentor based in rural North Yorkshire, and I've been helping women build recurring income through memberships since 2013 - well before "memberships" became the buzzword they are today.

I'm the author of Never Start a Month at Zero, founder of the Recurring Income Academy, and a firm believer that a good business should give you a great life - not the other way around. I keep chickens, drink a lot of tea, and strongly believe in the power of 40 members at £25 a month.
