This episode is a little different…

Last week, someone online accused me of being a scammer claiming I "prey on vulnerable people" by selling them hope.

They'd never met me. Never watched my content. Never worked with me. But they still felt entitled to make the accusation after seeing one post in a facebook group.

So today, I'm responding — not to them, but to anyone who's ever wondered whether online coaching, webinars or business mentoring is a scam…

Or whether what you want to build will be judged the same way.

In this episode, I cover:

• The 10 most common criticisms people make about online business coaches (and my honest responses to each)
• Why I do have an offer at the end of my free webinar — and why I stand by it
• What I believe makes a real coach vs a fake guru
• Why scepticism is healthy — but fear shouldn't stop you taking action
• How to trust yourself in a noisy online world full of bold claims and false promises

Whether you've questioned what I do, what you want to do, or if this space is "legit" — this one will give you clarity, confidence, and maybe even a bit of fire in your belly.

Chasing viral content might feel like the goal, but it could be doing more harm than good...

In this episode of Online Business Mastery, I break down why going viral isn't the strategy you think it is — and what to focus on instead if you want to grow a sustainable, profitable online business.

If you've been stuck in the loop of trying to "blow up" on social media but still aren't attracting paying clients — this is the episode you need.

Episode 21: Create Your Community (Feat. Mark Ellis)

In this episode, I'm joined by one of my Online Business Mastery clients, Mark Ellis – the founder of NeuroSpicyTrix – a brand-new community that's already gaining strong traction.

Mark shares his journey of launching a space specifically for neurodivergent adults, how he's growing the community organically and what's worked for him so far. Now he's at the exciting (and slightly scary) stage of figuring out how to monetise it – without ruining the vibe or alienating the audience he genuinely cares about.

Success in business isn't just about strategies.

It's also about the habits you build daily. The way you show up, the routines you create and the mindset you develop all play a huge role in whether your business thrives or fizzles out.

In this episode of Online Business Mastery, I'm breaking down some of the crucial habits that separate successful entrepreneurs from those who stay stuck.

These aren't just nice ideas, they're the daily actions that will move your business forward.

If you're struggling with inconsistency, procrastination, or feeling stuck in a cycle of "busy but not productive," this episode is a must-listen.
