What is success? Does it have to mean the same thing to all of us? And how can we break away from society's definition of success and forge our own - especially when what we feel "success" is may be daringly different to other people?

These are questions I want us to tackle in this episode.

If you…

1. Are currently at a 9-5 job that completely drains you and you dream of starting your own online business

2. You’re in your first few years as a freelancer but you’re struggling to book clients, or

3. You book enough freelance clients and you’re ready to scale to six figures (without burnout)

… Then this episode is perfect for you, because today’s guest has navigated all of those situations!

Mistakes and failures are a normal part of running a business. We ALL mess things up sometimes.

But not many of us talk about it.

When we open up Instagram, we’re mostly faced with a sea of other business owners raving about their latest launch, posting their glowing testimonials, or sharing how perfect their life is.

Don’t get me wrong - I LOVE seeing other people win.

But I think it would be helpful if more business owners shared the ugly side of business, too. Not all the time (because wouldn’t that be gloomy!) but sometimes. Because let’s face it - we all feel better about ourselves when we see that other business owners have ups and downs just like we do.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• My top 5 mistakes when I started my business

• The top 5 mistakes I made last year, after 9 years of being an entrepreneur and over six figures a year in sales

• The difference between problems you encounter when you first start and problems you encounter when you grow

• The difference between struggles you face when selling a service, and struggles you face selling a product

• The 3 things you must have in place before you even think about selling an online course

In today’s brand new podcast episode, I’m talking about a topic I’ve always shied away from before:

How I Built a Six Figure Online Business (& Saved £110k by Age 26.)

This might be nothing to some business owners, and it might be a lot to others. But either way, I’m proud of what I’ve done and what I’ve achieved in my business by my mid-twenties. Especially considering I don’t have a degree, I come from the fourth poorest town in the UK, and I was a Pizza Hut waitress and retail worker before starting this online business.

Does this sound like you? —>

• Your projects finish but your clients keep bombarding you with questions (and they’re usually all asking the same things!)

• Your clients are regularly late providing files, feedback and payment.

• You tried using a project management tool with your clients and they totally rejected the idea. They’d prefer to just email.

Which one resonates with you the most? 1,2 or 3?

The easiest and fastest way to solve these issues? Create a welcome page.

A welcome page is a webpage that outlines everything your client needs to know to work with you effectively. It guides your client through your policies, boundaries and processes, setting your projects up for success - not the confusion, disrespectfulness and lateness you’re used to.

Tune in to this week’s episode of the podcast to learn how you can use a welcome page to:

• Establish boundaries with your clients

• Set your clients expectations

• Help your clients clearly understand your process

• Clarify your processes (like your late payment policies!)

If you're wondering how to succeed and desperately juggling multiple clients at a time, then this is the episode for you. Today’s guest is super special because she is one of my very own students! In this episode, I interview Jade Rennie, who has used my course to go from working with 4 clients at a time to working with eight clients at a time with ease.

I have a question for you. If you stop working, will your business stop working too?

That's what you and I are going to be discussing today. If you're dealing with anything difficult in your personal life right now, and you're trying to keep your business afloat while slowly dying inside, or maybe not dying inside, but struggling with something, this is for you.

Whether that is heartbreak, breakup, illness, loneliness, grief, or something else, whatever you are going through, my heart goes out to you and I really hope that this helps you.

There's a time to work hard at your business, and there’s a time to work on yourself and on healing yourself. I want to make sure that when this hard time comes for you, whether that is now or in the future, your business can survive without you being so hands-on.

I want you to be able to look after yourself and still come back to a functioning, profitable business.

I have a secret that, when revealed on my Instagram Story a while ago, blew peoples mind.

Ready for it?!

I only work 3 days a week.

Yep! But here’s where it gets interesting…

I make more money working 3 days a week than when I worked 5 days a week.

If you’re curious how I made that happen, listen to this episode using the player above or read this episode below!

We’ll cover exactly how I made sure my profits went up even though my work hours went down, how you can do the same thing, the planners I use to help me be super productive on the days I do work, and so much more.
