Starting out in business it's easy to try and do everything yourself, but I've learnt over the years when you bring in people who are really good at the jobs you're not great at, your business will become more joyful and successful. Sam & I have been together through it all, from being £30k in debt to now where our lives look very different, so join us for this conversation about what success and happiness mean to us, and how we allow one another to work in our own zone of genius. What You'll Learn In This Episode: - Why trying to be good at everything is a false economy and the freedom you can gain from relinquishing control and allowing people with the skills to excel at their job. - Success and happiness can be intertwined but they don't always go hand in hand. For that reason, it's important to define your own version of success and not be influenced by what we see on social media. - How we've identified what success to means to us as a couple and a family, and the simple things that make us happiest. - The power of knowing what happiness and success mean to you and once you know what that looks like - do that every single day.

My latest launch grossed $2.9 million in sales, but you might be surprised to hear we didn't hit our targets and this launch didn't work out in the way we thought it would, but it was by far the most interesting launch I've ever done. I believe it's so important to debrief and evaluate after a launch, to look at what worked, what didn't and how to improve for next time because it's all the little things that you implement that make all the difference. What You'll Learn In This Episode: - Some of the common challenges that occur in every launch we do and how as a team we've learnt to navigate them. - We saw a new pattern of sales in this launch with clients taking more time to commit to buy. Here are some of the consumer trends I noticed and why FOMO is no longer a strong driver for sales. - I'll share with you what worked well partnering with affiliates and some best practices I've learned working with affiliates for successful launches. - How we have made our launches stress-free and fun despite the practical and mindset challenges they inevitably bring up.

Today I want to talk to you about retreats and how attending business retreats has helped me grow and get ahead in my own business. It's easy to think a retreat is just a fun trip, but there's so much more to it than hanging out in hot tubs, drinking and eating nice food. So how can you make sure you're getting the most out of every retreat? What You'll Learn In This Episode: - How to be strategic about the retreats you attend, who you want to meet, what you can take from a retreat that you can't get in group courses or 1:1 coaching and why you need to commit to implementing what you learn. - Why business retreats are an invaluable opportunity to network, build connections, and surround yourself with aspirational like-minded business owners that inspire you. - How to ensure you don't waste the opportunity to learn, ask for help and observe the challenges other business owners are facing. You might just be the perfect person to help them solve that problem! - Being open, vulnerable and friendly at retreats has helped me grow my business and improve my mindset, so whichever retreats you're booked on this year this is how to make sure you get everything you can from that experience. I'll be hosting Destination Motivation a 3-day retreat in New York this June, spaces are really limited but if you want to check it out and see if it's the right fit for you the link is below.

Today I have business coach and entrepreneur, Lesley Thomas joining me. Lesley not only runs a successful ski real-estate business with her husband but also helps serviced based entrepreneurs improve their relationship with money, so today I wanted to speak to her about the mindset you need to adopt to work with high net worth individuals.

What You'll Learn In This Episode: The 8 different money archetypes, the strengths and challenges that yours can bring and how this self-awareness can improve your mindset and relationship with money. How Lesley started working with high net worth clients, and how they treat every client the same regardless of their wealth. We discuss the direct correlation between your relationship with money & your sense of self-worth. Why you'll make more money when you change your relationship to it, and how to stop getting in your own way when it comes to earning more.

Today I want to talk to you about some of the different business models out there for selling your services and why it's so beneficial to have a multi-layered approach. I know it can get noisy online with everyone having an opinion on the best way to sell and how one method becomes a trend and then it disappears and something else becomes "the thing you must do to be successful." But here's the truth - there are a million ways to make a million pounds and no one way is better than the other. However, when you apply a multi-layered business model and build an eco-system where one offering feeds off another, you can stop hustling day-in and day-out and actually wake up in the morning with more money in your bank account than you went to sleep with. So let me tell you why you need a multi-approach business model and how to start building it. What You'll Learn In This Episode: How to structure an automated business model that takes clients from a free or low ticket price point all the way through to high ticket offerings. The importance of building a sustainable business that builds an ecosystem and moves you away from relying on stressful launches to turn a profit. Why having all your eggs in one basket won't help you reach your business goals, but building multi-layered models can. And why adding more income streams doesn't have to mean working longer hours and you can still maintain a connection with your clients while automating elements of your business.

Welcome back to the podcast, today is a solo episode and it's an episode I really wanted to share this week because I've just finished the launch of my membership You Can Sit With Us. It's really important to me that as a team we evaluate how a launch has gone straight away because that analysis allows us to identify what went right and what went wrong, and once you have that information you can put all those findings into practice and that's how you can improve on your launches time and time again. When it comes to teaching others I think it's key to be fully transparent, so we don't only shout about the good stuff, but share where we can improve as well, and I learned a lot from this launch because we actually didn't hit our targets and it didn't all go to plan. So join me on this review of my latest launch! What You'll Learn In This Episode: The gaps we identified in our messaging and how we didn't shout loud enough that the membership is now open to male and female business owners. My evaluation of a festival launch, what I learned and what I would do differently the next time we launch this way. The challenges we faced with third party software, how we utilised our email list and the role it played in our sales. Why I believe there really is no such thing as failure when it comes to launches, and why we must always be evolving our launch strategies.

I have a great conversation for you today, as I'm joined by Emma Clayton who helps entrepreneurs scale their businesses, and in this episode, we're going to explore the real cost of being a female entrepreneur. In recent years more and more women have been leaving employment in favour of self-employment for the flexibility and autonomy it can offer, but as we know, starting a business is not easy. The digital age has opened up so many opportunities, but we've not seen the same growth in support for female start-ups, and we deserve better. What You'll Learn In This Episode: - The true financial and emotional cost of being a female entrepreneur and how this compares to our male counterparts. - How the system is failing women with the gender pay gap and inflexibility for primary caregivers. - Emma's mission to see female founders better looked after enabling them to thrive and build successful businesses. - How to raise your prices in line with your worth, your goals and not sell yourself short. - What to do when you want to scale your business.

Today I want to talk about why we need to stop misleading potential clients online. I know that sounds controversial and I'm not here to shame anyone, but the truth is, if no one talks about these things, then nothing changes, and I frequently see misleading endorsements being used online to attract people to a business or service. I'm not talking about outright lying, because we know that's morally wrong, but I see a lot of subtle ways clients are repeatedly misled that have never felt right to me, so I want to shine some light on them today. What You'll Learn In This Episode: - What the 'pay-to-play' model is, how common pay-to-play offers are in the online industry and how they contribute to misleading potential clients. - The process behind some business awards and why I'm proudly not an 'award-winning business coach. - Marketing strategies to reach number one in the book or podcast charts can make for a great strapline, but on closer inspection, if these claims aren't legitimate it diminishes clients trust. - My experience of being asked to financially contribute to be a part of a TV show, and why it wasn't the right decision for me, despite its appeal. - That it's possible to make money and have a successful business whilst putting morals first.

Hello! I'm back for a bonus episode as the doors are now open for our rebranded, relaunched membership, You Can Sit With Us and I want to tell you a bit more about what's new, what's changed and why. I launched this membership 5 years ago because as a business owner working for and by myself, I was lonely and I knew I wasn't the only one who felt that way. I had an audience who wanted to build connections and learn from each other to elevate their business, so everyone paid a small amount and I got experts to come in and teach us - and this group really became my inner circle. We celebrated the wins together and supported each other in hard times, but over time I saw that the membership wasn't as inclusive as I wanted it to be. I wanted it to be a space where everyone felt welcome, comfortable, and no one felt like they didn't fit in. So, despite the membership working well, and selling out, I made changes so that it aligned more with my values. As I've evolved as a business owner, the membership has evolved and today You Can Sit With Us is a membership that includes, inspires and innovates. Not only is this membership great for the inclusive community, but you can also build your client base there, learn from expert coaches, take part in Q&A sessions, attend annual parties and take part in quarterly challenges. Doors are open until Friday, so do come in! This is somewhere you will belong.

The last 2 years have been challenging for all business owners, so today I wanted to speak with Raimonda about a period of adversity in her life, and the positive impact she found from being open with her audience about what she was experiencing.

In today's episode, I want to talk to you about growing a team, and how my business has grown from just me to now having 9 expert employees. Growing a team can be challenging and letting people into your business is scary and I'll be honest, I resisted delegating to others for far too long, but then I realised when you're doing absolutely everything in a business; the book-keeping, the marketing, the admin etc, you have less time for the things that you do best. The only way to have a successful business that prioritises freedom is to have the right people alongside you and for a long time I worried someone else couldn't do all the jobs as well as me - well spoiler alert, they do it better than me because that's their zone of genius. So having shifted my approach to how I recruit to look within my audience and network I've built up an A-team of superstars that's been a real game-changer. What You'll Learn In This Episode: How I recruited my business team and why I've never regretted a single hire. My goals and vision for the team in 2022, including how we plan to shift to a 4 day work week. How we've created an open work culture. Why I value attitude over skillset when hiring. What's been working well for us and what we want to improve in the next 12 months.
