Client communication is key, especially during the go-live stage, where I discuss the benefits of transparently communicating with your clients and providing them with everything they need to share and promote their new website.

We dive deep into the importance of standing out in a crowded market and how being different is key to success. Haley shares her personal journey of feeling disconnected from the brands she worked with and how that led her to question her integrity and the quality of her work where work was completed without a brand strategy.

We explore the core services Haley offers, such as brand identity and website development, and how she has expanded her offerings to include SEO support and email marketing. She also emphasizes the value of helping clients with social media alongside SEO and blog posts.

In this episode, I dive into the topic of building confidence as a developer, a woman, a mum and a business owner. I reflect on my own journey and evolution, acknowledging that confidence is a never-ending journey. 

Impostor syndrome is a major factor that can hold us back, but it’s important to recognize that we all experience it. I encourage you to take risks, push through the discomfort, and do it scared. Do it anyway. 

As women, our confidence may have been affected by past experiences of failure, lack of belief, or being taught to keep quiet. I challenge you to reflect on specific instances that may have dented your confidence and break down the true source of those feelings. Getting through self-doubt requires trusting in yourself and the process, knowing that we have overcome challenges in the past and will continue to do so in the future. 

I share a personal example of how avoiding a situation out of fear led to a compounded problem, highlighting that often, the fear of doing something is worse than actually doing it. The key is to clearly identify the next step and take it, knowing that it will lead to growth and success.

In this episode of Women in Wealth WordPress, I dive deep into the importance of money mindset. I share personal experiences and insights on how our beliefs about money impact our business success, marketing strategies, and financial decisions. As the host of Women Wealth WordPress, I firmly believe that money plays a crucial role in our lives, which is why I am passionate about helping my students and clients make money. 

During this minisode, I walk you through the signs of a poor money mindset, such as feeling undeserving of high-paying clients, undercharging, and overdelivering. I also share a powerful example of a student who needed a mindset shift when it came to pricing her services. Additionally, I discuss the benefits of seeking input from others to gain a fresh perspective on your business practices. 

I share a personal realization I had and how it related to uncovering my own scarcity mindset. By unpacking our beliefs and recognising the need for change, we can develop a healthier money mindset that allows us to make smart financial choices and attract abundance into our lives.
