You are going to LOVE today’s conversation! I sat down with journalist-turned-copywriter Nicola Moors for a fascinating and insightful chat about all things copy and launching.

We dig into how copywriting is a DATA driven process (which surprised me because I think of writing as a creative thing). 

Writing copy that converts was one of the most intimidating tasks in my business when I started marketing digital programs and I immediately wanted to outsource… maybe that’s you too? 

If so,  you might be surprised by Nicola’s recommendation. She helps coaches and course creators have profitable launches fuelled by data and research. Her data-approach to messaging and funnels has won her clients above-industry-average results.

In this episode, we dig into…

• The things you should consider before hiring a copywriter in your business
• The importance of knowing your numbers (and why a lot of people would shy away from that)
• The real...

In this week's episode, I asked my Business Coach, James Wedmore, to share the real behind-the-scenes stories of building an 8 figure online business.

James has been teaching ambitious online entrepreneurs how to skyrocket their businesses for the past 15 years—and doing it himself for even longer (you’ll hear how he really got started in business inside the interview) 

We explore parts of James’s story that he rarely talks about publicly, geek out of communication and how to show up more effectively as an online brand, plus dig into…

• The bomb he dropped in the first 30 seconds of the interview that SHOCKED me about his past
• A specific, tactical activity you can do TODAY to kickstart your breakthrough
• Why we should stop referencing impostor syndrome (and how to view it instead)
• The two core things all entrepreneurs need beyond strategy 
• The #1 mistake business owners make that keep them on the content creation hamster wheel (and how to fix it)!

We’ve been conditioned to believe that the more we work, the more we earn. And often we use "busy" as a badge of honor – we equate success with working more hours and how hard we put effort into our work.

But I bet, there’s not a single person in the world who wouldn’t like to work less and make more money at the same time. And maybe like me, you probably started your business because you wanted to have ownership and control of how you spent your time. You do not have this dream to be chained to your desk all the time and work ridiculous hours.

So what does it really take to GROW YOUR INCOME and INCREASE YOUR RESULTS while actually WORKING LESS? And Is it really possible?

Listen to today’s episode – it’s a podcast takeover with my business coach, James Wedmore. He shares with us what it really takes to build a...

Have you ever felt super motivated to create a plan for your business, but a week later when it’s time to do the work you ghost on your scheduled lives, abandon your content batching blocks and end up in front of Netflix with all the snacks?

It’s confusing because sometimes you’re on FIRE and in flow, then the crash of the entrepreneurial roller coaster has you questioning EVERYTHING.

We feel these highs and lows. And you might be thinking this is just all part of our journey as an entrepreneur.

But when was the last time you really questioned that and leaned into what feels right for you?

And what if I tell you that this is just how your body is intended to run naturally and that your cycle is playing a big part of it.

What if I told you that you could amplify your results, creativity and magnetism by making one simple change?

What is it? It’s your sleep.

Think about it.  When was the last time you woke up feeling rested?

Like really well rested.

Not ‘slam the snooze, feel like you got hit by a freight train (aka your toddler’s midnight kick boxing) start the day guzzling coffee’ morning.

The kind where you wake up and feel clear, energized… good.

Many say that building a business takes sacrifice— but for women who don’t want that sacrifice to come at their family’s expense, they cut back on their “me time”.

Except they didn’t really have “me” time, so they cut back on sleep time.

Sound familiar?

Are slides necessary in a presentation? Does virtual versus in person change that answer? And what do you do if you don’t have a great eye for design?

Slides reinforce what you're saying and to help with understanding.  And when used well, they’re a powerful tool for delivering your message more effectively.

Can narrowing your focus really create more opportunity? The term “niche” has become common lingo in online marketing, but surprisingly many business owners still resist, thinking, if I get too specific I’ll turn people away.  So to debunk myths around niching, I brought in business growth strategist for female consultant coaches and service providers, Jessica Osborn.
