BO-SS by Bronte

“You’re too expensive.”

Three little words that can send even the most confident business owner into a spiral.

But before you start questioning your worth or slashing your prices, there’s a conversation you need to have.

In this solo episode, Bronte breaks down how to navigate pricing pushback, back yourself in client conversations, and know when to hold your ground versus when to rethink the scope.

Because the difference between losing a lead and landing a client might come down to what you say next.

What actually happens when you stop undercharging, start backing yourself and build a business that works without you doing everything?

Chloe Jade of Chloe Jade Marketing went from launching her agency straight out of uni to building a team, securing an office and tripling her monthly revenue. And it all started with a few small but game-changing shifts.

We’re talking pricing, client retention, hiring your first team members and the systems that turn a solo service provider into a scalable agency. If you're ready to stop winging it and start building a business that can grow with you, this one's for you.

18 months on, Abbie May has built a team, scaled Better Collective and started landing the kind of opportunities she once only dreamed about.

We’re talking rejection, risk, money, betting on yourself and why sometimes getting thrown into the deep end is exactly what you need.

She started with a few clients on the side. Then came the moment she realised this could actually be a business.

In this episode, we’re talking about what it really looks like to back yourself, turn your skills into something bigger, and build a business from the ground up without waiting until you feel completely ready.

From knowing when to make the leap, to finding the right clients, building a team and navigating the very real fear that maybe the industry is already too saturated, this is an honest conversation about betting on yourself and figuring it out as you go.

Because sometimes the biggest thing standing between you and the business you want… is just doing the thing.

From social media manager to tech founder, Natalie Barbu is the woman behind Rella, the platform changing how social media managers and agency owners run their businesses.

We chat about turning a problem into a business, building Rella from the ground up, navigating the leap into tech, and what it really takes to back an idea before you know where it will take you.

If you're curious on how you can use Rella to take your social media management business to the next level then this is the episode for you.

In this episode, Bronte shares a powerful mindset shift that could completely change the way you think about growing your business.

If you've been feeling stuck, frustrated or convinced that getting more clients is the answer to everything, this conversation might challenge what you've been focusing on.

Bronte dives into a common mistake many social media business owners make when it comes to growth, confidence and consistency, and explores what may actually be holding you back from reaching your next level.

This episode will leave you thinking differently about your business, your priorities and the way you approach attracting new clients.

There is a moment in business where everything changes.

Not because you get a dream client. Not because your pricing is perfect. Not because your Instagram suddenly takes off.

But because you decide to stop treating your business like something you’re “just giving a go” and start treating it like something you are actually here to build.

In this episode, Bronte shares the turning point that changed everything in her business journey from working with a few small clients and fumbling through, to locking in, investing in her brand, building a team, attracting premium clients and creating the kind of business she always wanted.

This one is for the girls who are ready to stop guessing, stop playing small and start showing up with real boss energy.

This week, I’m joined by Nikita from Cosmic Connections, a social media manager who’s sharing the very real, unfiltered side of building a business in this industry.

We dive into what it actually looks like to run a social media business behind the scenes: setting up systems from day one, building a personal brand, partnering with agencies, navigating client cancellations, and redefining success when business doesn’t go exactly to plan.

Nikita opens up about a client shift she had in January, the mindset shifts that came with rebuilding from the ground up, and why subcontracting with an agency became one of the best decisions for her growth, confidence and sustainability.

Inside this episode, we cover:

• The systems every social media manager needs from the start
• Why “doing it all” isn’t a sustainable business model
• The truth about client cancellations (and how not to take them personally)
• Building a personal brand as a social media manager
• What agency subcontracting actually looks like behind the scenes
• Different ways to grow your business beyond retainers
• Honest advice for SMMs who are questioning whether to keep going

If you’re a social media manager navigating growth, burnout, rebuilding, or figuring out your next move then this one will feel like a big exhale.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Georgia from Set Socials, a social media manager and content creator who has spent the last 12 months building a business that actually feels aligned, structured, and premium.

We chat about the reality of starting out in the industry, the imposter syndrome that comes with charging properly, and the mindset shifts that helped her stop undervaluing herself and start backing herself as a business owner.

We also dive into:

• why confidence comes before the results
• the backend systems that changed everything for her business
• creating content packages that clients actually want
• launching a second wedding content brand
• balancing creativity with structure
• and why community & accountability matter so much when building a business

If you’re in that stage of business where you know you’re capable of more but feel overwhelmed, messy, or unsure of your next move then this episode will feel like the pep talk you needed.
