In this episode I interview home interiors writer Rachael Hale.

Rachael talks openly and honestly about running a business around a family that needs you, how she has changed what she does as a result and found her passion too.

There's also tips on blogging and finding someone you can outsource your writing to if you prefer.

And of course we talk about her website (which I built).

In this interview I talk to Amazon expert Vicki Weinberg.

Vicki started out selling her own range of bamboo baby products and then began to help other product based businesses get started and sell on Amazon.

In this episode she talks about her business journey from selling products to helping other product based businesses, letting go of her original business and the mindset shift to realise she was the "expert" to help others. We also talk about investing in your business, juggling everything (and Vicki's tips for fitting it all in) and the importance of setting boundaries.

A brilliant conversation packed full of tips for any entrepreneur or small business owner.

Knowing how people are finding and using your website is an important step in getting more clients.

Using tools like Google Analytics gives access to a ton of data, which can be confusing and overwhelming. What should you be looking at? And what should you do once you have that data?

This episode talks through why you should track your website data, the data you should be tracking, what it means and where you can find that data (Google Analytics is not the only option)
