Being a Business Owner

Ever catch yourself wondering..."Am I really living my version of success?" Now success isn't a one-size-fits-all deal, it's as unique as you are. From climbing career ladders to finding joy in simple moments, there's no 'right' or 'wrong' way to define it. What matters most when it comes to success is embracing your own fulfilling path, which is exactly what I'm exploring on the podcast!   In thi...

Wondering whether the career you've chosen is truly what you're meant to be doing? You're not alone, as I've been there too! Many of us go through life faced with a nagging feeling that something isn't quite right - that the career we once loved no longer fits who we've become. It can be daunting to acknowledge this disconnect, especially when it means considering a whole new path after years of h...

Ever feel like the financial side of your business is just a little out of your depth? You're got everything else under control, but when it comes to understanding cash flow and profit, it seems like a whole different game. I've seen so many business owners, get tangled up in this financial jargon as if it were a whole other language. But what if handling your business finances could be as straigh...

Ever feel like your workday just doesn't stop - you're constantly juggling client needs while trying to find time for yourself?

I've faced this struggle many a time before and have often wondered "What if we could work in a way that actually fits our life?" A workday that's de...

If you're tired of feeling like life's throwing curveballs at you left and right (no matter how much you try to prepare for them) then I hope this episode will be your guiding light through the storm. Lately, I feel like I've been navigating the waves of unpredictability in both business and life, but wanted to share a little bit of my experience not only to normalise these emotions but offer a ne...

If you're thinking of going down the path of passive income to create "easy money, fast", then I urge you to listen to this podcast episode first! There's no denying that there's much content out there online promising "60K in 6 Weeks", giving you hope that it's possible for you too - but in my opinion, this is unrealistic and a pretty sleazy marketing tactic that is doing more harm than good.   I...

Ever felt like you're riding the rapids of life, just trying to stay afloat? Well, that's the vibe that I've been channelling lately.

But let me tell you, it's got me thinking about so much more than just dodging rain showers and holding onto inf...

No one can quite prepare you for the challenges that come with being a business owner, imposter syndrome being one of the biggest of them all! It's that voice in your head making you doubt yourself, even when you're doing well. The doubt that impacts our confidence, despite the amazing milestones we've reached.   In this week's episode, I discuss; • The meaning of imposter syndrome and how I exper...

In a world dominated by social media, it's easy to fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others and letting their opinions dictate our happiness. However, this constant comparison can often lead us down a path of self-doubt and prevent us from living authentically. It's important to remember that our self worth is not defined by the curated lives we see online!   In this weeks epsiode, I di...

Yes, you read that right!   In the Summer of 2023, my team and I had the honour of working with a 100-year-old company to relieve their retiring treasurer of their financial duties by taking all of their paper-based accounts digital (with the help of Xero of course) . Not only do they now have access to streamlined financial management but also the necessary connections to HMRC and Nest Pensions f...

I was GOBSMACKED when someone recently said "I wouldn't trust anyone in a hoodie to be doing my accounts" - sorry, what?!   After the initial shock wore off from this off-the-cuff remark I found myself really reflecting on how impactful people's perceptions can be, the way we react to these beliefs and how powerful shaking off that need to always please can be.   In this episode, I discuss: • Batc...

For the longest time, I used to believe that "sitting on the fence" was a bad thing and that if I wanted to be seen in the online business space then I would need to vocalise big beliefs and opinions. However, after many years in business, I've learnt that isn't the case! In fact, positioning myself in the "middle ground" gave me a much wider perspective to create a greater impact on myself and th...

The digital space is filled with online business advice, making it tough to know what to "buy into". I spend a ton of time on social media for work and fun, and let's just say, not everything clicks with me.   But, I've actually found some things that I do really agree with. So, in response to my episode "4 Things I Disagree With In The Online Business Space" here are some of the things I do agree...

We all have to start somewhere in business and I've been lucky enough to have started, managed and grown my business, to what it is today, from an amazing co working space in Caerphilly. However 4.5 years on, after building my clientele and expanding my team, my accountancy business needs a place to truly call home - which is why we are investing in our own office space!!!!   But why have I taken...

Let's face it, there is A LOT of business information to digest in the digital space - some of which is valuable, while others are a little more questionable. As an avid social media user, both personally and professionally, I've found myself recently consuming content that I just can't bring myself to agree with - so instead I've decided to bring them to the podcast to chat with you about. (And o...

To all my fellow Millennials, born between 1981-1996, you may be feeling the pressure to "keep up with the kids" on social media. Whether that be mastering the latest TikTok dance, staying on top of the ever-evolving Instagram trends, or even getting to grips with the latest Facebook features.   Well, today I wanted to share some of the ways I navigate social media, as an almost 40-year-old woman,...

With a limited number of hours in the day and a never-ending list of responsibilities to action, from managing your business to navigating family life, it can be hard to do it all!   We are often told how important effective time management can be for our business and mental wellbeing, but I know it's not always the easiest of things to "master".
