This week I'm chatting about why I think REST is the key to changing the way we do business.
I'm talking about the different types of rest out there & some strategies to help you implement rest and time saving in your business.
If you just do one of these - I think the results will be HUGE.
My businesses only really started to priorities my thought awareness, mindset & rest.
If you want to chat about resting more - get in contact with me and we can have a free call & see if we're a match to work together.
And remember - the Resting Biz Face Programme is just about to start! This is for you if you're looking for a way to add more strategy, mindset and - yep - REST into your business, services or creativity!

This week I'm talking about support and why it used to make me feel meh.... sometimes... we're getting into introvert / independent territory here so this one is for all my 'I'll learn it myself' founders & all my lone wolf 'it's quicker if I just do it' service providers & creative peoples.
Oh, and if I convince you that getting support might not actually be as rubbish as we've sometimes found it before, then jump on a call with me and let's talk about how I can support you in your business or creative journey!
I'm still signing people up for the Resting Biz Face Launch Programme and we start on the 9th Oct! So there's still time to be involved!
Contact me to book a no pressure chat and I know you'll walk away with some tips & strategies to try in your business.... if you want that sort of thing.... or, you know... keep searching YouTube and learn it all from scratch. (I know you. I've been there).

This week I'm talking about the big word FAIL - and actually why I'm extending my launch.
I talk about the irony of having a Resting Biz Face ® Launch Programme all about the joy of launching 'fail' and what that means for the programme and the actual steps I'm taking next.
This weirdly is the most important podcast I've recorded yet - as it explains how I look at this launch without getting too much in my own head and in my own stories about it. It also talks about the steps I'll be taking to shout about the Resting Biz Face ® Launch Programme between now and the NEW START DATE 10th October.
So, if you want to learn about business, launching, and failing well from a business coach that is actually... you know, a human... I'm here waiting to jump on a call with you.
Drop me a line.

In this episode I'm talking about the power of pumping yourself up for that final two weeks of your launch campaign.
And, weirdly enough, the first thing we do is add some REST.
I'll be talking about visualisation and a little somatic work to shift your energy into celebration and positive possibility.
Remember, if this is helping you shift the way you're doing business - you're only getting a little taster here. I want to work with you in the Resting Biz Face Launch Programme and we start on 12th Sep!
Email me and we'll chat about you joining.

In this episode I'm chatting about how you can face objections and refocus on the benefits of what you're offering.
This is a hard part of any launch. It's especially hard when you're facing crickets online and the only responses you're getting are 'you're so inspirational'.
I know this episode will inspire you to get behind your launch again and readjust your course to aim for your goal!

In this episode I'm chatting about the tricky middle part of any launch.
This is that moment where you decide actually you'd be much better off retraining as a painter & decorator / gardener / fitness instructor (been there, got the certificates to prove it)
Look it's hard, I know.
But if I know anything it's that steady, consistent action over time really helps.
As does having a group to talk through the mindset and the strategies - so if all this is resonating with you - don't forget there's still time to sign up for the Resting Biz Face Launch Programme - my signature group coaching 12 week container the offers weekly coaching, workbooks, videos, strategies & mindset tools to help you reach your clients in a way that feels authentic and unique to you!

From the publisher's feed
Welcome to the Resting Biz Face Podcast.
Who said you had to pick just one thing?
If you're a writer, creative business owner or service provider who’s tired…
I’m Michelle Allen: writer, producer, creative consultant, and trainee personal trainer... aka the Infinite Upstart.
I’m also the co-founder of Ironclad Creative, a Community Interest Company supporting writers and theatre-makers in the business of making art.
I’m wildly neurodivergent, multi-passionate, and (surprise!) often very much in need of rest.
Resting hasn’t always come easy, especially when my brain wants to do everything all at once. But what I’ve learned, and what I share here, is that you can do lots of things your way, on your terms, and still build a sustainable, satisfying, income-generating life.
This podcast is about finding your rhythm, not someone else’s formula.
I’ll share mindset reframes, thought awareness tools, creative prompts, and business strategy that blend structure with spaciousness.
It’s about building a creative work life that’s actually liveable, one that makes space for ambition and rest, ideas and boundaries, doing and not-doing.
So if you’re building a creative life with a lot going on, and you want more income, more clients, and more creativity without the burnout, overwhelm or boredom, come rest your biz face here!
Let’s do it differently.
Together.
