Hi, I’m so glad you stopped by!

I’m Annemarie Cross – also dubbed: “The Podcasting Queen” by my clients, colleagues, and podcast guests.

Over the last two decades, I’ve gained extensive experience across different arenas. In fact you’d probably be right in calling me a multi-passionate entrepreneur.

I LOVE learning, starting and launching new creative projects, and being involved in multiple things at a time. It’s been both a blessing and a curse. [If you’re a multi-passionate entrepreneur, you know EXACTLY what I mean!]

Thankfully, I now combine my experience and knowledge when helping clients become an influential voice in their Industry. [I’ve FINALLY been able to combine my diverse experience into one succinct message and offering, which I now help other multi-passionate entrepreneurs do too!]

My passion and expertise is within the area of brand and communications – both strategy AND tactics. You can’t have one without the other. You can have the best strategy in the world, but without the right tactics can still struggle to get the desired results. And, all of the tactics in the world without the right strategy – well, have you heard of the ‘bright shiny object’ syndrome?

More recently, I’ve been leveraging my 15 years’ experience in podcasting – specialising in helping clients create and launch a robust podcast strategy so they can build their reach, their reputation (as a Trusted Authority in their field) and their revenue – from their very first episode. [You can find out more over on my podcasting website: www.PodcastingWithPurpose.com ]

My training company is Industry Thought Leader Academy and my Podcast Network is the Ambitious Entrepreneur Podcast Network).

In 2024, following a personal passion of mine, I established the brand – RESTORE Rophe – Restoring Your Health – Naturally, which is a range of herbal teas and other natural products which we’ll continue to add to the range.

If you have amazing products and services that can transform people’s lives, yet no-one knows about you; or you find it hard to find new clients; or if you’ve managed to develop a database of clients yet you’re definitely not getting paid what you’re worth – you’re in the right place.

I know where you’re at as I was there myself. However thankfully, I’ve been able to turn that around.

And, now I teach these exact same strategies to my clients, which has supported them in doubling (and even tripling) their income.

You can achieve this too through my signature branding, online/offline marketing and money mindset breakthrough programs – with the mindset component, being the most integral piece.

You see, I’ve realised over the years that you can have the best products and services; you can have all of the systems and processes in place; you can the most impressive business and marketing plan too. But, if you don’t have the right mindset – all of the best business tools in the world won’t matter. Mindset matters! That’s why I incorporate a lot of mindset and money mindset elements in my work with clients. It helps them get rid of all the clutter (and crap) that’s holding them back – that’s holding YOU back.

Not only will I help you with your mindset – I also love to share simple yet powerful ways to help you get more clients booked, while boost your income – even if you have been in business for a short time. I’ll help you define and build a unique and authentic Signature Brand; I’ll help you transform your one-to-one services into lucrative information products and programs (or if you are only just starting out, I’ll help you get your first clients through your door) by getting your message out into the hands of your ideal clients.
