Hello and welcome to this week's episode of the podcast. As I mentioned last week, I am still in Nashville. I'm recording this at the same time as I recorded last week's and we're having another interview because of the fact of, well, one, I forgot to and didn't forget, I ran out of podcast episodes and I had to do some recording over here.

And because I don't have my normal setup and things, I didn't really want to do a solo. Because it requires me recording more and thinking more. And for some reason my brain isn't working today. So I'm doing some interviews, but these are great interviews. And you know what's funny? Because I pre-record the interview so far ahead, I literally have to go back and re-watch them to remind myself what we're talking about.

And. Finka's episode today, the lovely Finka who's being interviewed. We talk about coming from love when you're selling, thinking about service, when you're selling and doing things that align with our values and the energy in which we come from. So it's quite practical in terms of, you know, marketing strategies, but also it's a little bit woo woo in terms of like thinking about the energy that we bring when we sell.

And I recorded this at the point The Club was just per open permanently, and obviously now The Club has been open permanently for quite some time, and it's really interesting to hear some of those conversations and actually how some of those conversations have impacted me going forward on what I've done.

Today’s episode of the podcast is an interview with Amanda Warfield, who talks all about content, long form, short form and how to be consistent, whilst still maintaining quality.

Hello and a very warm welcome to this week's episode of the podcast. Now. If I sound a little different and if there's background noises that aren't all the same, it's because I messed up a little bit. And you know me authentic to the core. I will always tell you what's happening in my world and where I mess up because it's really important to know that because we are business owners, we make mistakes.

No one is perfect. And when we look at these people [00:02:00] online and think, Oh my God, they're so amazing. No, no, they're not. Like it's great show they're putting on, but everyone has failures, everyone makes mistakes. So I had a really busy couple of weeks. I had, well first I was off cause I had an operation, which I'm all recovered from.

All good now, which is great. Then I went straight into an in-person event that I held in Birmingham. Then from that event, I went straight into a week on of insider experience, which was phenomenal. So if you missed it this time, we're gonna do it again in January. So make sure as soon as I have the dates, I will get that in your diaries.

And then because I'd been off and had these various things, all my meetings and all my calls and everything got pushed into one week. And then I was going to Nashville the Monday this week. And I thought I was organized. And then I sat at the airport on Monday morning and turned right to my husband and was like, OMG.

I haven't recorded the podcast like I'm normally so far ahead. [00:03:00] The interviews are so far ahead, but I just like everything I'd done ran out and I hadn't recorded it. So I sat here in the lovely Mary Hyatt's

How you doing? Did you catch the two part podcast episode I did last week with Niki Hutchison. We decided just to mix it up a little bit and do a joint podcast. So half of the interview was me and the other half of the interview was on her podcast. Also, I've had some really lovely feedback about the podcast episode before, when we were talking about failing in business and the fact of sometimes you have to try things and they don't work. And you just do something else. So if you haven't listened to that one, purely from the feedback I'm getting, I think it's a good one. So go and check it out. This week I wanna talk to you about how I make personal connections with my community, even though I have an online business. Now, the reason I'm bringing this up is a few different things is one at the time of recording this last week. Was it last? No. Yeah. Last week was the Insider Experience. And the week before was my event, my in-person event. Like having those people around me is just phenomenal. Like they are the nicest, most amazing humans in the world. And it was so good to meet people in person, not only my existing members, but also new people who listened to the podcast or who followed me for a while. So that was so cool to actually meet people. And then this week, this last week just gone, we did the Insider Experience. And again, it was so nice to welcome all new faces into the club in order to show them what it was like. And lots of them have decided to stay as a member, which is ACE. And I love it so much. I'm so, so honored that that's the case. And I realized when I was doing part of the Insider Experience. Well, it wasn't part of the Insider Experience, it was actually this morning, we did it. We went Live in the group with a few of my members and someone asked a really good question in the chat saying, I obviously know my Executive Club members really, really well. Do I really know the Club Members as well. And. Do they still get that kind of relationship with me. And listening to what the members were saying. I kind of feel like it's a bit like a bit of a superpower maybe that I've got. And actually this falls in line with the fact of. I always suspected, but I'm, you know, fairly positive that I'm a, an empath and can feel, you know, I can feel things. I can feel people's emotions. I can feel people's moods and I can relate to them really quick. I don't know if you're an empath or if you just think I'm talking...

Today’s episode of the podcast is an interview with Niki Hutchison, and we are talking all about content, and how to be seen in as many places as possible, through organic reach; as well as sharing our thoughts around the online world. Niki has spent most of her career creating and implementing marketing strategies to grow businesses. She has helped hundreds of small business owners, as well as large organisations like The NatWest Group, The Scottish Government, The UK Space Agency to improve their marketing strategies and effectiveness. Her goal is for entrepreneurial women to enjoy marketing and the results that it brings.

How are you doing? So we've got a really cool episode today. It's something a bit different. We thought we would try. And I'm really excited about it. Today is an interview with the lovely Niki Hutchison. And we're talking all about content and we're talking all about how to be seen as many places as possible. And we're talking about organic, so things that you don't have to pay for. So it's a great episode, loads of good stuff in it. And we have some cool conversations about being employed and then being, you know, having your own business and what that's like. But what's super cool about this is we decided to do a two-parter. We decided that we would do like a podcast swap where half the episode was on my podcast and then to listen to the rest of the episode, you need to go and listen to her podcast. So we thought that would be a really cool idea. And obviously half of the episode is on hers and hopefully her audience will come and listen to this half and if you are from Niki, Hi, welcome. Nice to have you. So yeah, so we thought we'd do that. We thought it was cool. We had a great chat. We got on so, well, I really, really like her. Uh she's. She came to my September event, which is ACE and yeah, it was just so, so good to have a conversation with her. So many things in common. We loved it. So I'm really excited about this episode. It's a really good conversation. It's definitely a one of like, get your coffee, sit...

Today’s episode of the podcast is a solo episode, where I am talking to you about why I introduced a lower price option to my membership earlier this year, and then closed it just a few months later. I share with you what I did once I realised it wasn’t working and how I went about closing it, as well as the lessons I learned from the experience.   KEY TAKEAWAYS COVERED IN THE PODCAST

• There is not a single person in business who hasn’t experienced failure, or something that didn’t go to plan.
• If the only thing stopping you from making a decision is what other people will think, then stop worrying and do what fits best for your life and business.
• Just because something doesn’t work out how you planned, it doesn’t mean you’ve failed, everything is a learning experience.
• What the club looks like today, and what’s included at each level.

Hello, and welcome to this week's episode of the podcast. How are you doing? I hope you are well. This week. It's a solo one and it's a bit of a conversation this week. I wanna talk about the reasons behind me closing the lower level of the Club. Because I think it's super important to be honest about this stuff. I think. I don't know about you, but we watch a lot of people online.

We see a lot of people on Instagram and a lot of other people's businesses, and sometimes we can look at them and think, why is it all just so perfect for them? And isn't working out that way for me. Because let's face it. There is not a single person in business that has not had some failure or something go wrong or something not go as planned or, you know, not be perfect all the time. That just isn't business. That isn't true.

And I think the problem is when we don't see that people are honest about stuff, we start to think that we are the only ones. So, and I'm not saying that, you know, what I'm talking about today was a failure, but it certainly was a learning thing for me. And I certainly learned some lessons and I made a change.

So that's the first reason I wanna talk about, cause I want you to know that it isn't all sweetness and light and perfect and amazing and beautiful in business cuz it's so isn't. The other reason I wanna talk about it is I want to give you the knowledge and to empower you to know that if something's not right, you can change it.

It's up to you. It's your business. Don't care what anybody else thinks. Why anybody else might say if something changes or the fact that you think, "Well, I'll look a failure or I'll feel this or whatever." who cares? It's your business, your life. And if something isn't fitting for you and I've got some great examples of other people, who've done things.

If it's not fitting for you. Then don't do it. You shouldn't do it. So let me talk about the club and I talk about the club a lot, and this week as I record this, there's an open house in the club. So if you are listening to this on Monday and you wanna join the open house, you can still do that. Please come and see what we're all about.

I'd love it. It's called an insider experience, but I keep calling it an open house because I feel like you'll know what I'm talking about by an open house and our cool name of insider experience, although it's cool. And it

Hello, and welcome to this week's episode of the podcast. So as if I planned it this way, which I can assure you, I am not that organized. I was just back recording and I've just recorded the last week's episode. And this next week's episode, this next week's, as in today's episode fits really, really well, which I didn't intend it to do that.

How odd that it has, but how perfect. So last week we were talking all about values and why you need to know your values. We talked about heart centered businesses and coming from what makes you happy and your passion and your purpose and making sure you have a business around not making sure you have a business around that or how you have a business around it.

And this week I've got an interview with Emily K Thomas, who is a, I'm just gonna pick her like her proper bio and read what it says. She's an energetic advisor, podcaster, blogger, educator. And basically she helps people to be more in line with themselves and to her mission is to help you remember your soul's calling and my heart center.

Hello and welcome to this week's episode of the podcast. How the devil are you? I hope you're good. I hope you've had a great summer and I'm back. I'm back after doing the replay ones. I had some great feedback from them. It's just really nice to hear some of like the old episodes.

Some of the people I've interviewed before. I think probably the one I got the most feedback was Michael Hyatt's. So if you haven't been there, listen to that. You definitely, definitely want to, because it's a great episode. So before we get started today, I want to talk about something that's happening in The Club.

And actually it's, it's really relevant to today's subject. Because I am doing an open house in The Club from the 12th of September through to the 16th. And basically we're calling it the Insider Experience where you can come and see what it's like to be inside the Club for free with all the Club members.

So I am opening up everything in the Club that you can do. And we have got so many good things going on that week. And you can see it as like either a pick a mix. You come in and do the bits you want, or you attend as many as you can. But really the idea is. I get lots of people asking me questions. I get people joining the Club to see if it really is the way I say it is.

And if I'm the way I say I am, because I don't know about you, but I've been a member of other memberships and other groups where I've been swayed by the person who's the face...
