    S3. E10. The fear and shame around money conversations. We're owning up.

    10 episodes talking about the money and there were so many things we didn't get to. This week we open up about the money conversations we DIDN'T get into and we explore our reluctance to chat on certain subjects. Clients asking for their money back - cringe. The trend of sharing income reports and the fear of being judged for how much we take in - double cringe. Admin, pensions, financial planning - ooh la la - and the big ole' shame we feel around financial illiteracy. Please tune in to this season's final episode and enjoy!

    S3. E08. Q1 review - Checking in with goals. Preparing your strategy.

    Do you work in "quarters"? In the business world, many companies set revenue goals every 3 months. We can borrow this for solo and small business to break up a 12-month goal into less scary targets. Our approach today is based on the money, but we take it a little further and use that stability to explore free time and the impact we are actually making with our clients. We talk about our approach to working in quarters and give you a few prompt to create your own end of quarter review.

    S3. E07 - Getting clients online in 2022. How can we show up and sell?

    Showing up online to sell your services has felt a little off lately. After a prolonged period of pandemic, with the outbreak of conflict in Ukraine... and so many other world-shaking things going on globally and personally, it seems tone-deaf to carry on, business as usual, post and promoting. We have a slightly different episode for you this week. It's a replay of a group call with fellow solo, service-based businesses. We discuss the  showing up authentically on social media the brand decision to comment on world events or not the sensitive approach to publicly sharing about donations you've made as a business  and how the world of social media feels like a marketplace, where the 'friend request' immediately lines you up for a sales pitch! Thanks to everyone who joined the call.
