Hey! I’m Désiré Mirelux, and I help people and businesses get seen by the right audience, by repositioning their brand.
I’m also podcaster and keynote speaker and obsessed with helping people who have smaller businesses, so I built a platform to stay accountable, gain better visible and feel supported every day.
It’s called TILT NEXUS – and it may change how you work and think about your business.
We’re already seeing people land new clients, raise their visibility, and finally get consistent with their business habits – just from being in the room with us.
The BIG reason you want to join the subscription is the volume of coaching you get for £47/month. It’s an unbeatable offer with 18+ hours of on-camera, live coaching and support to answer any of your questions.
And then if you have artwork or posts you want feedback on before you hit publish - we have a 24/7 presence for NEXUS+ members, ensuring that you get the support when you need it, how you need it.
These kinds of platforms can sometimes feel like just another thing to join. But we’re already seeing people land new clients, raise their visibility, and finally get consistent with their business habits – just from being in the room every day.
It’s free to try, and you can join at your own pace.
