2%! Only 2% of women business owners break the one million mark!   Not because they don’t want it, or they don’t dream about it… mainly because they don’t believe in it.

And also because the climb is much steeper for them.

In this episode, I will talk about something special that will help you prepare for your 2023…

In this episode, I will share something magical about planning.

Now, many people who do not understand the power of planning believe that it is a business activity… Like bookkeeping or marketing or sales calls.   The unimportant or too complicated strategic stuff… The reality is, yes planning is a business activity, but actually, it is also much more than that. Planning is a mindset activity… Planning is like building a bridge between your dream and your today's to-do list. Planning is a way of calming your fears, and your resistance, it is the only thing that will make you say “fuck   off” to your lack of self-belief and all that. Planning is magic, and now I will share with you this magic!

In this episode, I share some stories and some facts that reveal a very best-kept secret of success.

Recently I read Harvey Colemen, the best-selling author of Empowering Yourself, The Organizational Game Revealed. According to Coleman, success is based on three key elements: Performance, Image, and Exposure (PIE).

It sounds pretty basic, right… but actually, it is not. How much each one of them participates to our success is mind-blowing.

I   also share what as a woman business owner you usually tend to do and what kinds of small changes would drastically change your results.

How do you build an IG account that reaches thousands while raising your 3 kids? 

In this episode, Emily Williams, a content creator and influencer on IG who I have been following for the last 6 years on Instagram is sharing with us her journey as a business owner and mum of 3 young children. 

What she is doing is unbelievable, and I am so fricking happy to meet her in person and have her on She is Awesome show:) 

On her IG account, Emily loves sharing both her motherhood journey and passion for fitness through honest, relatable and fun content.  She is a qualified PT and specialist in Pre & Post Natal fitness. She really walks to talk and helps her followers to work on their fitness ‘despite life’s little obstacles.

I started to follow Emily years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter, and back then Emily was also pregnant (a few months more than me and had only a few thousand followers… ). I loved her account because she was sharing pre-natal work outs which were perfect for me. 

Since then, Emily didn’t only grow her child but also her family… She had 2 more gorgeous kids (now she has 2 absolutely stunning daughters and one baby boy Neo - who joined our chat). Alongside her family life, she also grew her Instagram platform from a few thousand to 38K…

Our interview covers all the aspects of her journey into motherhood with 3 kids, becoming an influencer while also launching her new business the #10minute method.

You can reach Emilie on her IG account @emilywillims_world 

Seriously follow her... It will feel like having a lovely friend motivating you to move your butt :) while sharing hair, fashion and motherhood tips:)

This episode is a special one… why? Because I have been triggered several times recently and went through a little upleveling myself.

This episode is different… this episode will not give you action points, acronyms or strategies as I usually do. You don’t need to take notes …

All you need to do is to listen actively … with intention and give your attention … then,  sit and watch yourself and how you react to it.

It might trigger you a little, and it’s great if it does because… trust me it’s where you will find your growth… Today’s episode is for you if you feel like your business is not there, it is stuck, you are stuck… You kinda want things, but they are not coming to you.

Well, if you are there, tune in now and be ready to get triggered.

“Will my business be impacted by the recession? How much  will it be impacted? What shall I do? I am worried that the recession will be difficult… “Do these sound familiar to the voice in your head? Do you feel  the need to switch off the news when you start hearing about how the recession will impact this and that? Do you repeat to yourself “Seriously, can we stop now? Can we have a break coz since 2020 it has been a bit too   much!” Are you feeling a bit disarmed about what to do? Shall you be saving money, should you keep investing in marketing activities or not, and how can you make sure that your customers continue buying from you…?

Seriously my friend… you are in the same boat as the rest of the UK business owners. If you don’t count Covid, the last time UK ( and   the majority of the works) was in the same situation was in 2008 and we all know that it hit like a big asteroid and a lot of businesses had to close down.

I recorded this episode with the hope that it can give you some sort of direction and guidance on how you can think about your business and the best practices you should be adopting right now to protect your business and also to make sure that you would come out of the tunnel stronger than ever;)

So if you have been asking yourself “what the heck should   I do now”… tune in up.

Why are we able to make some of our dreams happen and not others? Same person, same life… but for some reason, some dreams seem so far away…?

Our brain plays an essential role in our successes as well as in our failures and wouldn’t it be great to understand how to manage it to increase our human potential?

Well, this episode is a little eye-opener on the power of your brain on your achievements and how you can direct your mind to increase your   chances of winning in this game of life.

Dr. Jennice Vilhauer, is a psychologist in Los Angeles, the developer of Future Directed Therapy (FDT), and the author of the book Think Forward to Thrive.

She has held numerous leadership roles as the director of the Outpatient Psychotherapy Programs at Emory Healthcare in Atlanta, GA, and Cedars-Sinai   Medical Center in Los Angeles, and as a managing consultant at Korn Ferry   International.

She is a featured expert for the magazine Psychology Today, and she has almost two decades of experience helping clients recover from depression and regain their emotional well-being.

Dr. Vilhauer received her undergraduate degree in psychology at UCLA and her doctorate degree at Fordham University in New York City, and she completed her postdoctoral training in clinical research at Columbia University.

And I had the honour to interview her and pick her brain on how to reformat our brain to believe and expect that we can achieve what we really want;)

This episode is for you if you are in that place of blur…   

You feel slightly disconnected, uncertain, unclear, lost… You don’t know why you are doing what you are doing, or you feel like it is taking too long to build your dreams…You can’t see the fruits of your efforts, you are annoyed with yourself. The self- doubt, negative talk have been all at the party lately, which is not the thing you need but they all seem to be right… You feel like you are failing.

I call this the "Business Vortex"… You are in it! You are spiralling and I am sure that this episode will be there to hold you tight:) 

In this episode you will hear about my magic formula… and   more importantly what do you need to do to not lose touch with the magic formula.

I established some rules for myself, my business, my teammates   and my clients-These rules are here to help us get less lost or at least find   our true north easier… I separate these rules in 3 categories which is based   on one formula.

Also, if you are in that place of “lost, overwhelmed and unclear” we have exciting news!!!

We have the solution! Continuous planning is the REAL tool to make sure that you are always clear about your goals, focused in your priorities and taking the right actions to get there!

We decided to give discounted tickets to our listeners for our Quarterly Strategic Planning sessions that we have specifically developed for women solopreneurs like you:)
