The mindset behind increasing your prices can be a complicated one, and we often fear that we're going to alienate our current client base if we start to charge more. However, it's so vital to detach your self-worth from that of your business and your pricing, in order for your business to keep growing. Talking us through the do's and don'ts of raising your rates, finding clients who are right for...

Sales - a vital part of business, but one that so many people hate. If you feel sleazy, icky and gross just thinking of the word, know that you're definitely not alone! Thankfully, with just a few simple mindset shifts, you can learn to love sales, feel good at selling and actually stop dreading those discovery calls that get booked in! Today's guest on the podcast is L'areal Lipkins, who is a top...

If you've been in business for any length of time, you'll have heard the phrase "be consistent with X, Y, Z". And, so often we find ourselves scratching our heads at this, because it doesn't really explain much to us! After all, consistency is different for everybody and so my guest today is going to be discussing with me all about finding the level of consistency that works for you, the content t...

I love nothing more than finding another business owner who understands how hard it can be to run a business as an introvert when the whole world is shouting at you to hustle, have no boundaries and even "do video!". In this episode, I'm talking about all things introverts love - running a business that works for you, using automations to save time and energy, and sticking to your principles and b...

2023 has genuinely been like no other I've experienced since I started my business 17 years ago - with the cost of living crisis and the summer slump being so much worse than normal, this year I really did think I was going to quit my business. Spoiler alert - I didn't! Wondering how I managed to shift my mindset so that I was able to keep on going? In today's episode I'm opening up and sharing wh...

When I find a guest who loves productivity tips as much as me, the result is always a totally amazing conversation! Today's podcast is extra special though, as our guest still works her full-time job as a Spanish teacher while maintaining balance with running her coaching business on the side. My guest is Lindsay Dollinger, a women's business coach, podcast host of the Purpose and Pixie Dust podca...

Previously, I released a podcast episode where I did a round up of all my favorite business tools, and I got a lot of questions about Pabbly Connect - my automation tool, and a Zapier alternative. So, today's episode I'm going deeper and talking you through why I'm using it over Zapier and some specific workflows so you can see how it really works inside my business! I really do love using it in s...

I left Instagram a while ago now and it was honestly one of the best things I could have done. No more pressure to post for the sake of it, no more random engagement and no more backlog of DMs to reply to! I don't feel there are lots of us around who are totally happy having let go of some form of social media for business marketing, so when I recently connected with Robyn at a summit we were spea...

I am a BIG Black Friday fan! I love running offers myself and I also love shopping others' offers too (with my aim this year to be more intentional where my money goes, I think I might need a budget!). Now that the fall is here and Black Friday is only a few weeks away, this episode is here to inspire you that it's not too late to plan something if you think Black Friday is something you'd like to...

"What if I told you that 80 percent of your stress could be eliminated with a solid documentation structure?" - yes please! Almost all of us have been in the situation where we've been on a team with no structure or processes and had practically no idea how to get our work done properly. This is where SOPs (standard operating procedures) would come in and help your business and team to run in a sm...

Social anxiety affects so many different parts of my business and it can be really difficult to manage how I show up and give energy on a daily basis. One of the things I've shared before on this podcast (episode 41!) is that I don't think you need to push yourself outside of your comfort zone in order to grow as a person. Today on the podcast, I'm sharing about a situation I was in recently where...

It's so easy as a service provider to focus on your clients, prioritizing making them happy, to the detriment of your own business. We put our marketing efforts to one side, let admin pile up and never make time for ourselves - but today's guest has the perfect solution: CEO Days. This is simply a block of time you set aside to work on you and your own business. She has "3 R's" that need to be inc...

Did you wonder where I went?! In this episode, I'm catching you up on why I didn't release any episodes in September and explaining why I'm still in love with the podcast - it's definitely one of my favorite parts of my business and it's important to me that every episode has a point to it, not just me listening to my own voice for the sake of it! I've got some plans to feel fully refreshed in thi...

Hands up if you found me via a summit? There's probably a lot of you! I love hosting my own summits (such as the Introvertpreneur Summit) and participating in others' as a speaker. Hosting your own summit can be an absolutely amazing way to grow your business, email list and bank account! It's obvious, though, that hosting a summit is a lot of work, and so it can feel terrifying to get started if...

I've talked about this on the podcast before, but I often get asked how I manage to do so much - from the podcast, blogs and Facebook content to new products, offers and programs! People often talk about techniques like repurposing and batching, but sometimes it can be hard to know where to start. In this episode I'm explaining my take on these techniques (and a few others, too!) which you might f...

If you've followed me and my business for a while now, you'll know I love to do A LOT of different things! I don't like to be niched down into a little box, and so I'll often on the spur of the moment come up with new ideas for offers and products which I want to launch straight away. However, should I throw all of my plans away to chase after the shiny new idea? If you've ever found yourself thin...

Cold DMs are a bit icky, right? Well, maybe not - on LinkedIn they're actually welcomed! If you're sick of spending hours engaging with people on Instagram in order to attempt to pivot the conversation to your offers, you might find that you're better off focusing your marketing efforts on LinkedIn instead. Don't really know where to start? Today's guest can help you there! She's Nickia Walker, th...

People often ask me how I manage to get so much done, and what it really comes down to is systems and processes, mapping things out properly, and following my energy. Using these three things is how I was able to get my group program up and running in just four hours! If you're thinking, "even with all the systems and project management and energy in the world, I still couldn't do that?!", today's...

If you've ever thought to yourself, "I should be more outgoing", "I should be more approachable", or "I need to put myself out there more", you're definitely not alone! Flipping these thoughts on their heads and viewing the traits you have in a positive light are vital for discovering and embracing your introverted superpowers - amazing traits you'll have naturally, for example active listening, e...

If you're on my email list, you might remember recently I shared a breakdown of ALL of my business expenses! I love to share this with people (and I also love to read others'!) as not all tools are created equal and I'm always on the hunt for the best tech and lifetime deals to support me in running my business. If you missed out on the email, well never fear, as in today's podcast episode I'm rec...

If you've bought from a business that utilized unethical, shady marketing tactics, you'll know how it can make you feel a little bit icky. I would hope that most of us don't want our customers and clients to feel the same way! So how should you handle it if accidentally, you've picked up any of these techniques, such as fake countdown timers and saying there's only two spots left when really there...

If you've been wondering what personal branding actually means, think back to the days of high school where you were just trying to find out who you really were! A personal brand is, in essence, this but for showing up for your business instead. If showing up in front of an audience and putting yourself in the spotlight sounds daunting, that's okay. Today's guest is aiming to help you with that! S...

Warning: This episode covers the loss of both of my parents in 2012. If you don't want to hear about this or think it would upset you, please do skip this episode!    A few weeks ago, I introduced you to the first chapter of my book! I'm going to read chapter 6 to you today, and I knew it would be the hardest chapter to write. And it was definitely even harder to read. In case you didn't know, in...

I'm willing to bet that you've purchased a $9 offer recently - they're kind of all the rage right now! Does that mean you should create an ultra-low ticket membership model in your business? Not necessarily. There's a lot of things to consider when creating a membership and whether running one is going to be sustainable for you. Today's guest is guiding us through all the important things to think...

If you've ever felt like once you'd purchased something, you were just a number to the business owner, they likely didn't have a great customer experience. If you want to make sure your clients and buyers don't feel this way, you'll want to take an objective look at your own courses and programs with a fresh perspective. It can be hard to do this, as you're so close to the program itself, but it's...
