272: The mindset required to stand out & scale

You can have the best strategy in the world and still feel like you’re pushing a boulder uphill if your inner dialogue is full of doubt. In this episode, I share a replay from my free Stand Out and Scale experience, starting with the real foundation of sustainable business growth: mindset, identity, and leadership. If you’ve ever thought “I just want the 10K months, why am I doing mindset work?”, this will land. We walk through my journey from starting this business in 2015 with two simple mottos (if you don’t ask, you don’t get, and say yes and figure it out) to discovering mindset work in 2018 almost by accident. The shift isn’t fluffy. It changes how you handle challenges, how you build self-belief, and how you lead when things feel uncertain. One line becomes a compass: with every moment in business, you either become bitter or become better. If you'd love to learn more about the work I do, check out my website here.

271: Fail fast, change your mind & know your numbers with Ceandice from Main Tax Co

This week I am joined by one of my amazing clients, who has had the most incredible start to her business journey. She first joined my world as a client when I did a multi-day virtual workshop during the pandemic, all about mindset. She was instantly hooked. In 2024, she messaged to say she was ready to start her business and wanted some 1:1 coaching to get started. She has truly hit the ground running! In this episode, we talk about - failing fast - it's OK to change your mind- the importance of knowing your numbers - why investing is key to growth Drop Ceandice an email here if you'd like to know more - ceandice@maintax.co.ukIf you'd love to learn more about the work I do, check out my website here.

270: The edge of momentum

Something shifts before it makes sense on paper, and I’ve learned to trust that feeling. It's a feeling I adore... Momentum.When I’m on the edge of momentum, it’s not just about doing more, it’s about protecting my energy so the right actions actually land. I talk through what it looks like to hold a “mixed bag” week as a coach: clients hitting huge cash milestones alongside real life challenges, and how emotional intelligence, mindset, and leadership skills help us stay steady through it all. I rewind to the moment things turned around for me in 2025 after an awful first half of the year and explain what I recommitted to: a non negotiable morning routine, movement, reading and podcasts, and flooding my mind with inspiring things. We also get practical about the rooms you choose. Being around high performing entrepreneurs can raise your standards fast, because a rising tide really does lift all ships, and it changes how boldly you show up, sell, and create content. Then we go deeper into energetics: how to get into optimism and self belief on the hard days, why language matters more than you think, and how tiny boundaries like decluttering social media or deleting a draining app can clean up your focus. If you want more momentum in your business, more consistent visibility, and a brand you’re obsessed with building, this is your reminder to be the thermostat, not the thermometer.

269: Chaos, resilience & building a £22million property portfolio along the way, with Sarah McDermott

I am VERY excited to share this conversation with property expert and author Sarah McDermott. I first met Sarah when we were both speaking at Magnetic Millions last year. When she shared her story from the stage, I was hooked, and knew I had to get her on the pod. In this very real, very raw and very honest episode, Sarah shares her journey from private investigator to property, how she navigated Covid, sky high interest rates and a gambling fraudster and how she's turning all that pain into purpose. She has recently launched her incredible book sharing the journey, Chaos, a book that blends her fabulous Yorkshire tonality with life-changing techniques because the truth is, we can't control what happens, but we can control how we react and respond. Get your copy of Sarah's incredible book on Amazon here or Waterstones here.Check out Sarah's website and resources here.If you'd love to learn more about the work I do, check out my website here.
