Listen Later

Shaa talks to visionary, coach, catalyst, entrepreneur and activist, Joanna Martin, about her incredible achievements in business and the lessons learned along the way, as well as the ways in which you can grow your business without feeling the heavy weight of overwhelm, and how to do so sustainably!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Having more women in positions of leadership, having parity of representation in every business space, is the key to unlocking social progression in the world.
  • In the past two years, women's representation has shrunk. The focus has been upon building back business, instead of providing representation, when in reality, the focus should be on building back business with women at the forefront.
  • Juggling successfully begins with having less balls in the air. Be as rigorous as possible about setting priorities, with personal health and needs up front. Look for what's essential, and structure accordingly.
  • Removing yourself from the home so as to work can be beneficial, as everything in the home communicates the jobs that must be done - the ones left unfinished. Removing ourselves, temporarily, can provide us with the focus we need to get business tasks completed.

    • BEST MOMENTS

    'We can't pretend like we could two years ago, that it's going to be alright, because in a lot of places it isn't'

    'We need to increase the impact of women in the world without burning out'

    'The world needs women to step up more'

    'You can have it all. You just can't have it all at the same time'

    MEET YOUR HOST

    Hi, I’m Shaa.

    I’ve been called a serial entrepreneur … but I’ve never been one for labels!

    I’ve done SO many things in my career, including starting and scaling multiple 7 figure businesses, and am grateful for being recognised with some lovely awards - most proudly, an MBE from The Queen “for Services to Business and Entrepreneurship”.

    I’ve been featured in major publications for my efforts (named one of the UK’s Top 20 Most Influential Entrepreneurs by The Sunday Times and one of the ‘Most Influential Women in the UK' by the Institute of Directors), and have written 4 straight-talking, bestselling books; Stop Talking, Start Doing; Stop Talking, Start Doing Action Book, Do Less, Get More; and most recently, How To Fix Your Shi*t.
