One of the biggest misconceptions about having a successful launch is that you need a huge audience of thousands of email subscribers and social media followers.

As soon as she returned to work after having a baby, Lorraine soon realised that she was being held firmly back by the glass ceiling.

She had seen it simply as a side-hustle, but it turned into so much more than th...

Tip #1: Make it easy on yourself I remember when someone told me at the very beginning of my business journey that I needed to build an email list. I had no idea what that even meant or where to start! It felt so overwhelming and made me feel paralyzed because it seemed like there was so much to do.
