Finding time for you & belly laughs with Abigail Langridge

Abigail is focused on enabling high-achieving women to live life seamlessly by being their wing woman. She works with her clients not for them, to enable them to claim back their personal lives whilst still fulfilling the professional and wellbeing elements of their lives.

Creating a successful, sustainable business that gives you flexible freedom - this is what I hear so many people want so in this episode I share 3 steps to consistent clients and income.

I share with you how to define your version of success and how I’ve built my business from being fully booked in just 5 months, recognising the need to change my business model and how I’ve evolved it over the years to hit consistent £5k+ months and then onto creating a 6 figure business.

It absolutely isn’t about doing ALL the things…it’s about getting super clear and intentional with your actions and I share with you how to do this.

How to be a leader to enable you to scale your business is a key growth learning curve. We talk about taking ownership on really understanding your numbers, being in alignment, having fun in your business and creating boundaries for success as well as understanding what you need and want in your business.

In this episode, I discuss why I think “work-life balance” is an outdated term. Many business owners are striving for success but that means different things for different people. None of us want to work all the hours of the day so I share with you how you can create a successful business that works for you to have the balance and flexible freedom you want. You get to choose how you run your business and ideally it should enable you to have the life you choose as well.

I also explore the other elements that make up “life” and how you can choose which to prioritise to get the results you want. 

You will also learn a quick 5 step process on how to identify areas you may want to change as well as HOW you can make these changes enabling you to create the results you want to have a healthy business whilst also feeling more aligned, have more joy and create more of the things you want in your life.

Mindset is a key component in growing your business and so is marketing. We discuss the importance of both and the link to your personal definition of success.

Key marketing pillars including how to build belief in your product or service, how to sell the benefits and how to identify what makes you different to enable you to sell with ease are discussed in relation to building a winning mindset for your marketing strategy.

Setting yourself up for success comes from having goals. Despite the uncertainty and unknown in the current climate I share why it’s important to have goals rather than just winging it.

In this episode I provide a simple 4 step framework for you to set your goals for success, get really clear on them and how to attach real meaning to them and why this is important. We also look at how to identify different pathways for you to achieve your goals as well as the support systems & resources you may need to help you take action to see the results you want.

It’s time to set yourself up for success and supercharge your results for 2022! But remember this framework can be used any time you need to re-set your goals or check in for realignment throughout the year.

We often worry about putting so many hours into our business so that our world doesn’t fall apart but what if you step away from your ego and look after yourself SO the world doesn’t fall apart. 

Feeling stuck can be hard and in my chat with Dani Wallace (aka The Queen Bee) we get serious, have a few laughs and discuss how she’s used her own struggles including domestic abuse, single motherhood, being homeless and on the breadline as a way to fuel her success and how she now supports others to show up, wise up and rise up especially if you want something different or something more than those around you. Dani shares many lessons from building resilience, overcoming self sabotage and taking ownership & responsibility to heal but also to make those changes to have the success you want by getting visible in a way that feels aligned to you so you can go on to create a ripple effect.

Stress can have a huge impact on emotional, physical and mental wellbeing but it can also play a part in how our business grows and the results we achieve. I bust the myths on slowing down to speed up and share which bits I’ve struggled with and how taking breaks is fundamental for success. I also share with you the 4 key elements of health and how being aware of these as well as small tweaks you can make to help you increase productivity, have more energy, make better decisions and of course accelerate your results.

We bust the myth that it is a corporate platform and share how you can use LinkedIn to grow your audience, make connections with like-minded people and build a network to have sustainability in your business. Growth mindset, being open-minded and creating meaningful conversations can lead to opportunities and accelerate your business results.
