Let's be real. None of us have limitless budgets that allow us to do everything we'd like on our brand: we all have to make choices. But we do think there is a big difference between a bootstrapping mentality (saving money at all costs and compromising on quality as you go) and the reality of bootstrapping your brand (making smart choices that will move your brand forwards, however tight your budget).

We dig into all of this and more in today's episode where Fi is sharing a wealth of advice and practical tips on where to invest, where to save and how to create the strongest impression with your brand whatever your budget. This is going to be one to bookmark and share and we are so excited to share it with you!

Fi's brilliant and free "Where to start" course that we mention can be found here: https://thebrandstylist.thinkific.com/courses/creating-your-brand-course. Essential viewing if you are creating a brand from scratch, rebranding or wanting to make sure you are squeezing the potential out of your brand.

This special episode, created in honour of International Women's Day is a pulling together of just a glimmer of the wisdom held in our wonderful community of inspiring and empowered entrepreneurs. Rather than hearing from us, in this episode, we hear from you. Thank you to everyone who sent in a submission to be included we have tried to feature as many of you as we can, and whilst it hasn't been possible to feature everyone (we were inundated) we are so grateful to have read your stories and found them utterly inspiring.

Those women who's stories and words of wisdom shared can be found on Instagram here:

International Womens Day is coming up this week so it feels timely to explore this topic of Claiming Our Rightful Place as Women in Business and what we can do to step fully and confidently into our authority. We talk about the superpowers we uniquely have as women in business what might hinder our ability to take our rightful place and leave you with some profound words of wisdom from a much loved English treasure.

Apologies for the slightly less than perfect audio quality in the first couple of minutes of the intro, we've sorted it for the main part of the episode so hopefully it won't deter anyone from listening on, and we really hope you enjoy the conversation.

These days you can barely move for someone promising you a '7 figure income' while you sleep. But is it really the panacea it promises to be? Passive income is something so many ambitious entrepreneurs are chasing, but what does it really take? We are about to get deep, opinionated and personal in this episode where we explore Fi's passive income success story that paid the mortgage. How the pursuit of passive income shifts your experience of what it's like to run your business, the unseen effort that goes into 'passive' streams and more.

We hope you enjoy the episode and if you do please like subscribe and share - thank you.
