| 197: Client Showcase: Understanding the Impact of Trauma on Success and Connection with Sherry Lukey | 17 Mar 2025 | 00:39:14 | |
In this week’s episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, I interviewed my wonderful client, Sherry Lukey, an extraordinary executive and life coach who helps successful professionals worldwide unlock their full potential, cultivate meaningful relationships, and create a life of purpose, peace, and presence. Sherry shared her inspiring journey into the world of coaching, emphasizing how trauma can significantly impact both personal and professional success. We talked about the disconnect between outward success and internal struggles, especially within corporate environments, plus the importance of creating safe spaces for healing and exploring how the subconscious mind plays a crucial role in shaping our beliefs.
In this episode:
Key Takeaways:
Quotes: “It's certainly something that I think all of us as coaches see, we have clients who come to us and they are so outstanding as individuals. They have this amazing potential, and quite often they have things that are already going really well. But for whatever reason, there are these deep traumas sometimes really holding them back and old narratives that don't serve them, but everything just feels completely tangled up and they can't move forward.” - Jessica Fearnley “We can heal trauma and we can have patterns that have plagued us for decades. You always kind of know that you're destined for great things, and every time it's in front of you, you manage to swerve. But to actually be able to heal those patterns, it changes everything.” - Jessica Fearnley “When the subconscious perceives a threat, whether it be real or perceived, that stress response comes on and then your options are fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. And fawn being people pleasing, which is one of the things that women really, really tend to do.” - Sherry Lukey “What people don't realize is that really a trauma at any level has three ingredients. One is shock, it's sort of like you've been blindsided, something that just totally came out of nowhere, a feeling of isolation and a feeling of powerlessness. And if you have those three ingredients, you end up with trauma.” - Sherry Lukey “People have to break down to break through. And so by you taking that on, you're actually preventing their breakthrough. And it completely turns it on its head to be like, ‘oh, this is a massive disservice to take this on for someone’ because you subconsciously and energetically, you're actually saying to them ‘you're not capable of handling this. So I'm going to handle it for you’.” - Sherry Lukey

| Join my Book Launch Party! | 10 Mar 2025 | 00:02:43 | |

| 190: Beyond the Finish Line: What Happens After You Achieve Your Goal? | 09 Dec 2024 | 00:11:41 | |
In this week’s episode, I’m talking about what happens after you achieve significant business milestones, such as reaching a seven figure revenue goal. There are many emotional and psychological aspects of success, and often our minds like to try playing tricks on us when we’ve finally achieved something we’ve been working towards. I share more about the importance of radical self-improvement and self-acceptance, encouraging you to recognise your value and celebrate your achievements without seeking external validation.
Quotes: “Alongside actually hitting the goal, the thing I became aware of right away was this feeling not of achievement, but of numbness. Like, I don’t feel the way I thought I would.” “If it’s been a big struggle, there is the exhaustion of the journey, but also the refusal to admit that this leg of the journey is over and it’s time to rest, it’s time to refocus on something new.” “These milestone moments are often a little bit mixed. There’s the thrill of achievement. The satisfaction of thinking, wow that’s exactly what I set out to do and I’ve actually done it. Yay for me! And yet, it can feel like an anticlimax because it’s not like a football team winning the world cup in a stadium full of fans. These victories are often deeply personal.”

| 114: How to Ease Growing Pains as You Build Your Team with Karen Sergeant | 07 Mar 2022 | 00:26:24 | |
When your business takes off and you start growing a team of people to support you it’s exciting - and challenging. You’ve always been the CEO of your business, but now you have more management responsibility than before, and you have to learn how to work with more people in your business. It used to be that you only needed to communicate with one or two people, now you need to share your vision with several people. And you have to field questions from them. It’s a stage of business where you can be unused to the amount of chaos that suddenly gets generated. You’re figuring out who is doing what and what needs doing next, onboarding clients, keeping on top of customer service. You can feel like you’re suddenly spending a lot of time firefighting when your days didn’t used to be like that. My guest on the podcast this week is Karen Sergeant, a Team Growth Strategist and advisory Chief Operating Officer (COO). She helps small business owners survive their growth-spurts, grow their teams — and build a strong culture based on consent and accountability. She offers short intensives and ongoing consulting engagements that empower owners and leaders to build strong equity-centred business practices and teams. She’s based in Tucson and works with clients around the world. We talk about:

| 113: How to Tell When You’re Out of Flow | 28 Feb 2022 | 00:12:42 | |
Are you feeling unhappy, overwhelmed and demotivated by your consulting business? It can be very unsettling. You’ve put your heart and soul into building your consulting business and now you find yourself wishing it was different. It’s likely that all the things you wanted to do when you started your business still light you up. And you know your work is well received by your clients. Why do you feel like work is such an obligation each day, instead of something to look forward to? It is likely that you are doing tasks which take you out of flow. There’s the work you set out to do and love, and then there are all the things which go with it. According to Wealth Dynamics, when you are in flow, you are 5 times more productive than when you are out of flow. That equates to achieving a week’s worth of work in a single day! In today’s episode of the podcast, I am talking about how to tell when you’re out of flow. I discuss:

| 112: Encouraging Yourself to Make a Bigger Impact, with Sharath Jeevan | 21 Feb 2022 | 00:26:22 | |
It can be extremely scary to put yourself out there. When you run your own business you have to make big decisions. You started your business for a reason, but in the early days, you can lose sight of that as you focus on getting the work in. But then you get to a point where the impact and difference you make to your clients becomes tangible. You can see the change you have made just by being on the planet and doing the things you feel led and called to do. When you are in your younger years, it can feel like a big burden that people always tell you that you have potential. How do you live that out? How do you make sure that it's something that is big enough? And you can circle back to that. How can you make a bigger impact? You have to encourage yourself to take these bigger steps. How do you have the courage to do that? You’re going to get some great advice from this week’s podcast guest, Sharath Jeevan OBE. He is one of the world’s leading experts on reigniting our inner drive (intrinsic motivation), and the author of “Intrinsic”. He was awarded an OBE in the 2022 New Year’s Honours and advises a range of organisations on motivation related challenges, from L’Oreal to the London School of Economics to national governments. He founded and led STIR Education – arguably the world’s largest intrinsic motivation initiative. STIR impacted 200,000 teachers, 35,000 schools and 7 million children across a number of emerging countries. Sharath is currently the Executive Chairman of Intrinsic Labs, which supports organisations all around the world to solve deep motivational challenges, from governments to leading UK universities and high-profile corporations.

| 111: Getting to Seven Figures On Your Terms - And With Ease | 07 Feb 2022 | 00:13:10 | |
Getting to six figures as a consultant is a really good validation of your service, market proposition and your ability to sell. Now you’ve set your sights on the next level and you might think seven figures in revenue, one million dollars or pounds or Euros, requires huge amounts of hard work and hustle. But reaching seven figures doesn’t have to be scary. It doesn’t mean even longer hours. Or making yourself do things that make you uncomfortable. It does involve making some changes behind the scenes. When you’re at the low six figures, so 100, 200, or 300 thousand in revenue or thereabouts, this is often a really important turning point for a consulting business. If this is where you are now then this episode of the podcast is going to expand your thinking about what is possible for your business. I discuss:

| 110: Unlocking the Power of Sleep with Amanda Slinger | 31 Jan 2022 | 00:30:34 | |
Are you good at switching off from work? Or do you find yourself working into the evenings, or even, in your ‘free time’ thinking, ‘Oh I could just do [insert work activity here]’. When you love what you do, you can get absorbed in it. It can be hard to switch off. You get used to overworking, just as you get used to being a little bit sleep deprived and stressed. You might even feel like something is wrong if you don’t have that background stress. Then, when you do take time off, you can find yourself wondering what to do with yourself. So you turn the laptop back on, and suddenly it’s midnight again and your morning routine demands you’re up at 6am. This week on the podcast, we’re talking about sleep and winding down. My guest is Amanda Slinger, a Sleep and Courage Coach for female entrepreneurs. She helps clients to sleep divinely and wake recharged, and to align their biorhythms for peak performance so they can have the impact they need to be truly successful (without the hustle and burnout). Amanda has over 25 years’ experience as an entrepreneur and is the Founding Director of two seven-figure businesses, with a third on the way. She is also host of Courage On Fire, a podcast and community about living courageously, about dreaming big and taking action on what’s really important, instead of allowing fear and uncertainty to get in the way.

| 109: Embracing the Path of Least Resistance in your Consulting Business | 24 Jan 2022 | 00:14:02 | |
We so often believe business growth has to be hard. All too often as high achievers, we have cultivated a deep belief that we need to put in the hours, the blood sweat and tears, to get the results. If we can do everything perfectly - or to the highest standard possible - we will get the grades. That’s how school and university, and to a certain extent, our corporate careers worked, right? Except when it comes to business - it doesn’t work like this any more. The title for this week’s episode of the podcast is Embracing the Path of Least Resistance in your Consulting Business and it is a total game changer when it comes to self-care and business growth. I’m going to share how the path of least resistance has a huge positive impact on your business growth plans. I discuss:

| 108: Starting a Business Alongside Your Corporate Role with Lauren Widrick | 17 Jan 2022 | 00:34:23 | |
Are you thinking of quitting your corporate role? Or maybe you’ve got an idea for a business, but you don’t know whether it will support you and you would like to test it. A way of bridging the gap before you leap full time into being the CEO of your own business is to start a ‘side hustle’, a business you run alongside your job. If this is the first you have heard of it, or you know people who have done it but wondered how they were juggling the two, then listen to this episode of the podcast. I’m talking to Lauren Widrick, who is a Side Hustle + Sales Expert. She helps people escape their soul-sucking corporate jobs by starting smart, sustainable side hustles. Lauren made the leap from Investment Banking to full-time entrepreneurship, and she’s got the process down to a science.

She’s the host of the Grab Life by the Goals podcast, a wife, mum to two daughters, a professionally trained coach, and proof that you can disrupt and expand in every area of your life. We discuss:

| 107: Getting Acquainted With Your Seven Figure Future Self | 10 Jan 2022 | 00:16:46 | |
I’m going to let you in on a secret: you don’t have to be a Seven Figure Business Owner to start thinking like a Seven Figure Business Owner. You might have done a double take at that, and thought, ‘but Jessica, that gorgeous country house with a swimming pool isn’t going to buy itself’. Or, ‘it’s all very well for you to say that, I’m currently in the low six figures’. I get it but this isn't about spending cash you haven't got yet. Getting to seven figures can sometimes feel like you have a mountain to climb. Some things you want might seem a long way off. One of the biggest hurdles you will face on the journey to seven figures is you. This week on the podcast, I’m talking about getting acquainted with your Seven Figure Future Self and how that will help you build your business more easily. I discuss:

| 106: How to Create Revenue Generating Relationships in Your Business, with Evona Niewiadomska | 04 Jan 2022 | 00:32:42 | |
Do you love to surprise and delight people? Or would you like to, but don’t know how to go about it? Some people are super good at buying presents for people, but for many of us, it can be fraught with uncertainty. What if they don’t like it? What if they think it’s weird to get a gift from me? Perhaps you are simply wondering what to send in the first place. If you see other people giving (or receiving) gifts and wonder how the sender went about doing that, then this week’s podcast episode is for you. I’m talking to Evona Niewiadomska, founder of Gifting Made, about how to create revenue generating relationships in your business.

| 105: A Different Way to Network for Women Building 7 Figure Businesses, with Meghann Conter | 13 Dec 2021 | 00:33:40 | |
You know when you go to your favourite cafe with your friends and just have a laugh and set the world to rights, wouldn’t it be great if business networking was like that? Far too often, it’s a soulless room with people thrusting business cards at you and asking what you do. And then blatantly losing interest as soon as they discover you’re not their ideal client and moving on. You’re standing there in your best business outfit hoping for an interesting conversation. Instead, you’re listening to 60 second elevator pitches. For a start, it’s not a fun way to spend your time. It’s also not a great experience for consultant women building 7 figure businesses. You’re not wondering how to get started. You’re not asking about how to get leads from Instagram, or where to find your first clients. Your business is working. You’re looking to talk to women on the same path as you. My guest on the podcast this week is Meghann Conter, founder of The Dames, an international community that celebrates women running and leading 6 & 7-figure companies or divisions. If you’ve been wishing for a different kind of networking, you’re going to love our conversation. We discuss:

Do you get a slight feeling of panic and overwhelm when you look at your diary for the week ahead? You’ve got to do so much in a tight time frame. It feels as if your consulting business requires you to operate at 100% capacity all the time. You’ve got to the place you really wanted to get to - your consulting business is taking off and you’re experiencing that level of success. But you have the urge to escape. You’re not feeling excited or fulfilled by what you’re doing. What’s going on? I’m talking about why you might be finding your consulting business so draining on the podcast this week. I discuss:

| 103: Creating Leverage In Your Consulting Business | 29 Nov 2021 | 00:35:25 | |
Are you reluctant to ask for help even though you are overstretched? So often we can be reluctant to pass on the baton. Rather than thinking about the fact we’re not so keen on an aspect of running our business, or that bringing on additional team members is going to help us, we see it as cheating in some way. At school if you had outsourced your homework or asked another child what the answer was during an exam, you would have been in big trouble. We carry that with us. Asking for help, or bringing in someone who excels in an area we do not, is not cheating in business. In fact, it’s the way to get ahead. I’m talking about creating leverage in your consultancy business with Doug C. Brown on the podcast this week. Doug is CEO of Business Success Factors and international best-selling author of the book Win-Win Selling: Unlocking Your Power for Profitability by Resolving Objections. He is a nationally recognized sales revenue growth expert and consultant who has consulted with companies such as CBS Television, Intuit, and Proctor and Gamble. His proprietary system has generated over $500M in sales, and he helps companies optimize their sales process and increase their sales by over 850%. We talk about:

| 102: Are You An Overthinker Surrounded By Underthinkers? | 22 Nov 2021 | 00:14:48 | |
What do you think when people talk about ‘overthinking’? If you’re like me, you’ll be puzzled about why considering all the angles and focusing on the details is considered a bad thing. When you run your own consulting business, even if it isn’t your name on the invoices, it’s your reputation, framework and processes people are getting. That matters and you want to be sure every client is getting the best experience. Whether you are delegating service delivery, or relying on team members to support you in other areas of the business, you will have thought through everything involved. You will know how you want the work delivered. If it’s something you did before you reached capacity and brought someone in, you will have your own way of completing the task. It can be difficult to work with a team when you have effectively kept every aspect of your business in your head. The result can be that you are still carrying the weight of all those tasks and decisions, despite not being the one delivering the work. Your team is not using their initiative, instead they are relying on you. In this week’s episode of the podcast, I am talking about being an overthinker surrounded by underthinkers and how this can affect your team dynamics and your ability to switch off. I talk about:

Do you talk down your desires? You’ve built your business to a comfortable level and you know you want to do more, but it feels greedy somehow. You’d like more time, more fun, and a 7 Figure consultancy to make that happen without feeling like you have to work long hours speaking to clients all day, every day. You have a vision of what your life could be like. How do you bring more of yourself into what you do while enabling your business to run without you? This week on the podcast, I am talking to Shayla Boyd-Gill about how to luxe your business.

| 100: Two Questions About Building A Team That Have Been Blowing My Clients’ Minds This Quarter | 08 Nov 2021 | 00:16:41 | |
Many of the women I speak to come to the topic of building a team from a really negative place. There are lots of reasons for that but if you have aspirations to grow past 7 figures, you are going to be working with a team. Often we are thrown into leadership situations without any preparation or experience. As you transition from a solo consultant to a CEO your leadership style and performance will be something you intentionally work on. But how do you know who to recruit? Who is going to be a good fit for your consultancy? In this week’s episode I am sharing two questions about building a team that have been blowing my clients’ minds this quarter. I talk about:
This is episode 100 of the podcast! Thank you for listening. I am super excited for our NEXT 100 episodes as I feel like we are only really just scratching the surface of what it takes to get to Seven Figures as a Woman Consultant.

| 099: Writing Sales Copy With Love, with Michele PW | 03 Nov 2021 | 00:33:53 | |
Some things in business we are led to believe are ‘the way’ to get results. One of those is writing sales copy where you focus on your clients’ pain points. You think about what’s keeping them up at night and then you emphasise that negative and present your solution. One of the things my clients say most often when we talk about copywriting and marketing is, I've seen it done this way and I don't want to do that. Do you feel like that too? That go for the jugular, masculine style of hitting people where it hurts just doesn’t sit well with you. There is an alternative. You can write sales copy which feels positive and supportive and still sells your services. My guest on the podcast this week is best-selling, award-winning fiction and nonfiction author Michele PW. She is the author of 5 books in the "Love-Based Business" series that share how to sell more with love and build a solid, profitable business on a foundation of love. In addition, she owns a copywriting and marketing company that has sold nearly $50M worth of products and services. We talk about:

| 098: Realising the Potential of Your Seven Figure Business, with Paige Goss | 18 Oct 2021 | 00:33:38 | |
Are you wondering what it’s really like to run a Seven Figure business? Are you also asking yourself whether it’s possible to do that at the same time as having other commitments and interests outside work? Reaching Seven Figures can feel like a mountain top. It’s up there, in front of you, something to be conquered. You might picture yourself always working, or completely the opposite, off enjoying yourself leaving your team in charge of the day to day. To give you a realistic picture of what it’s truly like to run a Seven Figure business, this week on the podcast I’m talking to Paige Goss who has grown her company to over 10+ million in revenue in 4 short years. Paige is founder and CEO of Point Solutions Group, a technology and engineering professional services firm based in Denver, Colorado. She started the firm in 2017, while her wife was pregnant with twins! She also invests in and advises multiple women-owned and lead firms. She is co-founder of Precursa, a SaaS platform.

| 097: Breaking the Rules of Everyday Scarcity | 11 Oct 2021 | 00:16:18 | |
Scarcity can be all around us. Just read your news app and you usually get a huge dose of scarcity to get you going in the morning. At the moment the UK papers are all full of stories about the petrol shortages - that’s gas for my friends in the US. They’re also warning us that there’ll be no food in the supermarkets this Christmas. But scarcity isn’t something that only exists in the media. It’s instilled in us as children and we can create it for ourselves. Sometimes this is obvious. Every time we tell ourselves a client won’t pay for our services, or decide that we will carry on doing tasks which should really be outsourced, that’s scarcity in action. But it also hides in unlikely places. Tackling scarcity is important for personal and business growth. If you can spot everyday scarcity, you will enable yourself to create the life you want more easily because these roadblocks will not be in your way. This is a key issue for women consultants whatever stage of business you’re at. This week on the podcast I’m sharing how you can break the rules that make us think life and business have to be hard.

| 096: How to Post for Engagement on LinkedIn and Build and Leverage Your Network, with Donna Serdula | 04 Oct 2021 | 00:39:00 | |
LinkedIn is a platform that can feel a bit like Marmite. I've known many women who say, I posted a couple of times, and no one commented or liked what I wrote. I felt like a loser. So I gave up and I hate LinkedIn because it doesn't work. However, I know from my own experience that LinkedIn can be incredibly effective for building your business. I became a LinkedIn Top Voice in 2019 and it’s been an amazing experience. But before that happened, I was using LinkedIn effectively to build relationships. Do you want to know how you can post for engagement on LinkedIn and build and leverage your network? Then listen to this week’s episode. I am talking to Donna Serdula who pioneered the concept of LinkedIn profile optimisation. Donna realised early on that the LinkedIn profile was so much more than just an online resume. She created her own methodology for how to use the platform in a manner that really provided results for the investment of time and energy. Donna and her team of over 40 writers have helped thousands of executives, entrepreneurs, sales stars, business leaders, and professionals from around the world create professionally branded LinkedIn profiles. She is the founder of Vision Board Media and LinkedIn-Makeover.com, and wrote “LinkedIn Profile Optimization For Dummies,” published by Wiley. We talk about:

| 095: What Changes When You Hit Seven Figures In Your Consulting Business | 27 Sep 2021 | 00:15:20 | |
Did you know that a business can have up to 50 employees and still be considered a small business? Or that a small business is defined as having a turnover of less than $50 million? When you think about how ‘big’ a small business can be, it puts quite a different lens on what for many women consultants can seem a lofty dream - reaching Seven Figures. So much of the online business world is geared around getting to Six Figures. But it all gets a bit vague after that. There’s not much information out there about hitting your first $1 million and beyond. That’s why in this week’s podcast episode, I wanted to lift the lid on what changes when you hit Seven Figures in your consulting business.

| 094: Happy High Achievers with Dr Susan Bernstein | 20 Sep 2021 | 00:39:15 | |
Many women consultants find they have created a business which exactly replicates all of the things they didn’t enjoy when they worked in corporate. They might have left saying, ‘I will never...’ but fast forward a year or more later and there they are. They were going to create a freedom lifestyle, instead, they are working long hours. Often as high achieving women, we have got where we are by pushing ourselves really hard. We continue to do that in our consultancy businesses. And we can be the worst boss we have ever had. Not just working late, but forcing ourselves to overwork, not letting ourselves have time off, giving ourselves short deadlines, and expecting perfection. You might think work is always like this and the anxiety that goes with it is just the way it is. If this resonates then this episode is for you. My guest is Dr Susan Bernstein, who cultivates cultures of happy high achievers. She teaches individuals and organizations to craft their work and workplaces to be full of joy and fulfillment that ripples out to everyone. We talk about:

| 093: Estimating Time and its Impact on Your Consulting Business | 13 Sep 2021 | 00:12:44 | |
We are so often rushing to keep up with ourselves. There are constant demands on our time, from our clients, our own business, and other people in our life. Plus we want time to exercise, see friends and actually take a break. We’re supposed to get plenty of sleep too! How on earth do you fit it all in? In today’s episode of the podcast, I am talking about estimating time. I am the friend who is always running 10 minutes late, and I know from conversations with some of you that estimating time is an issue that resonates for you too. Estimating time is such an important aspect of running your business. It enables you to know whether you can take on that client, or whether you can take that day off. It can also signal that you might need to make changes in your business. This is my first solo episode for a while. I’ve missed sitting down for my usual weekly slot with you. I talk about:

| 092: Creating Connection By Telling Your Stories, with Johanna Walker | 06 Sep 2021 | 00:44:50 | |
When you think about talks you have watched or listened to, which ones stick in your mind? Did the speaker tell you a story? It might have been about them, about someone they worked with, something they saw, or they might have used a story to get you to think about how you respond to a situation. Whether you do public speaking all the time, or you’re summing up the courage to give it a go, storytelling helps you put together a compelling talk. You don’t just want to speak to your audience, you want to deliver a message which resonates with them. And ideally, one that has them keen to find out how they can work with you. How do you go about doing that? And how do you handle your nerves? Perhaps there is something you want to share but you think you can’t. My guest on the podcast this week is speaking coach and storytelling expert Johanna Walker. We talk about being an introvert and how that doesn’t stop you from speaking. We also discuss other reasons why you might not be sharing your voice. There is something in here for everyone, even if you don’t think you will ever stand on a stage. Johanna is a keynote speaker and workshop facilitator, she’s presented for corporations, non-profits, start-ups, community organizations, and the TEDx stage, helping audiences develop authentic presence as speakers, find the ideas they want to be known for, and craft those ideas into compelling presentations that attract clients and make bigger impact. She’s also the founder of Craft Your Talk, a transformational speaker coaching program for emerging speakers, and The Speaker’s Playground, an unconventional training program where entrepreneurs and community leaders become confident and memorable speakers.

| 091: Channelling Confidence with your Brand Photography, with Carrie Roseman | 30 Aug 2021 | 00:43:43 | |
Do you ever stop to take stock of how your life has changed? If you could go back and speak to 21-year-old you about her dreams, what would she think of your life now? What would she celebrate? What things would she tick off as done? Our lives change constantly and often without us realising. We look at ourselves and find we have evolved. Perhaps you are taking on bigger contracts, are attracting clients who are more suited to you, or have found new joy in your leisure time. How has your view of yourself changed? And who do you want people to see? This is all part of stepping into the next level version of yourself and it’s a journey we go on as entrepreneurs. We always think, ‘it's my business that needs to grow’. But actually, it's you who needs to grow first. I am talking about this transformation and personal growth with portrait photographer Carrie Roseman on the podcast this week. Carrie is known as ‘The Posemaster’ and she is a photogenic coach. She works with clients who are on a personal growth journey and creates legacy artwork for their walls and their brands. If you haven’t had a brand photo shoot yet, or not had one for a while, you will find out a lot about what happens during one. Regardless of whether you are considering getting photos of yourself taken, this is a wonderful discussion about how we see ourselves and our personal growth. We talk about:

| 090: Soul Sales and The Missed Potential of Growth Inside Your Comfort Zone with Lisa Dadd | 23 Aug 2021 | 00:39:27 | |
Do you feel you’re being pushed outside your comfort zone as you grow your business? Perhaps you’re following someone’s formula and that means doing an activity you find really uncomfortable. It might even be giving you sleepless nights. I talk a lot about growth on this podcast. When things grow, it’s because they have the optimum conditions available to them. They’re in the right place, with the right resources and they’re able to take that energy and use it to bloom. It’s the same for you and your business. It’s hard to grow if you’re trying to be someone you’re not. It’s hard to grow if you’re on a path that doesn’t suit you, or you’re doing something you don’t believe in. Looking at where you thrive and what works for you is vital to building a seven figure business on your terms. When my guest this week, Lisa Dadd, came up with the title for this week’s episode I knew we had to share this conversation. It’s all about soul sales and the missed potential of growth inside your comfort zone. Lisa specialises in teaching non-sales people how to sell. She spent 15 years working in corporate healthcare before becoming an independent consultant. Leveraging a diagnostic tool called Soul Language, Lisa now works with innovative leaders to integrate an awareness of who they are at their core, into the way they do business. We talk about:

| 089: Building Joy into Your Business with M. Shannon Hernandez and Amy Hager | 16 Aug 2021 | 00:44:03 | |
On a scale of 1 to 5, how much joy is there in your working life? We have this idea of business as being grey and serious, don’t we? When you worked in corporate, there was an expectation of what your day looked like, how you would behave, what work would be like. And now you sell to corporates, you’re probably still following those same rules. We get told all the way through school that we need to knuckle down and work hard. That narrative stays with us, doesn’t it? It’s almost as if we have this rule that says if something is enjoyable, that’s a hobby or not a ‘real’ business but if something makes money, that involves hard work. And yet, when you run your own business, you are choosing what that looks like. You decide what your services are, who your clients are, what hours you work, how you make sales. My guests on the podcast this week are M. Shannon Hernandez and Amy Hager who are both all about that joy in life and business. They are known around the globe for the Joyful Marketing Methodology. They work with online coaches and consultants, teaching them how to grow a highly profitable business that includes abundant time off. We talk about:

| 087: Using Webinars to Attract Corporate Clients, with DeKesha Williams | 02 Aug 2021 | 00:36:35 | |
Have you ever hosted a webinar? I hear all sorts of comments from women about why webinars will not work for their business. And lots of misconceptions about what a ‘successful’ webinar looks like. And I get it. I am the classic introvert entrepreneur - when I first heard about webinars, I thought there is no way I am doing that. But now, they are a key part of my marketing strategy. And they could be part of yours. Yes, webinars can work for consultants serving corporate clients! To tell you all about how you can be making use of webinars, I invited Webinar Queen DeKesha Williams onto the podcast this week. DeKesha is CEO of Vizions Consulting, which helps small business owners who struggle with growing their list, building a tribe and making money online using webinars to launch their signature offer to the masses.

| 086: Choosing To Be In Your Genius, with Debra Sunderland | 26 Jul 2021 | 00:44:14 | |
What do you hear people saying they struggle with that you find really easy? Or things people look at in wonder that you think are ordinary because you’ve been accomplished at them from an early age? Often, we don’t realise that the things we’re naturally good at can be hard for other people. When you are naturally good at something it is very easy to minimize that. You tell yourself, ‘everyone can do that, that's not a thing. That's not something that people pay money for’. I speak to women who do this all the time. You have talents you might be keeping hidden, or that you do not realise are valuable to others. My guest on the podcast this week is Debra Sunderland who is on a mission to awaken people’s genius. Debra challenges leaders by inviting them to create a collaborative, vibrant, responsible, and joy-filled culture, which fosters highly desirable results. We talk about:

| 085: How to use Brand Archetypes to Amplify your Business, Brand, and Bottom Line, with Stephanie Gunther | 12 Jul 2021 | 00:36:34 | |
We are hard wired for storytelling. We learn through stories and we teach our children through them. That doesn’t stop when we are adults, or become business owners. Our stories influence our brands and the messages we send out about what we do and our values. One of the issues so many people struggle with is figuring out ‘who’ is the business and how much of themselves to put into it. This is where brand archetypes come in. They help you define your brand so it stands out and attracts the right people. To find out more about this, I spoke to branding expert Stephanie Gunther on the podcast this week. Stephanie is on a mission to educate her clients on the sheer power of implementing and strengthening the many facets of branding: from the visual look to the brand messaging to the personality of a company and the people in it. She is President and CEO at Wax Creek Inc and takes already successful individuals and companies to a totally new level by developing a unique, memorable and shareable brand. We talk about:

| 189: The Three Stages of Getting to Seven Figures | 11 Nov 2024 | 00:10:12 | |
Did you know that getting your consulting business to seven figures actually happens in 3 stages? In this week’s episode, I’m sharing my insights into how women B2B consultants can reach the milestone of a seven figure business. I’m sharing each of the three achievable stages (and you may have hit one of them already without even realising!). It’s important to view your business and your achievements from different perspectives and set realistic but expansive goals. Add in the crucial role of mindset, strategic pricing and profitability, and a seven figure business is absolutely possible for women consultants. Tune in to discover the three stages in the journey to seven figures and how you can get there with ease, not struggle.
Quotes: “It can feel so big and so far away on the horizon that we treat it like this giant chunk of a goal that feels untouchable and insurmountable. But like with any goal, it becomes more manageable when you break it up into smaller pieces.” “Play with the variable of speed. You haven’t made zero dollars in your career or your business. Play with that number, whatever it is, and work out how you can make that same amount appear but faster.” “I speak to women all the time who are doing amazing things but they won’t acknowledge it to themselves because it’s like a competition with a panel of judges and ‘Oh sorry, you haven’t met the judging criteria for this category’. There is no panel of judges.” “7 figures in profit doesn’t need to feel like a pipe dream. It can be a very small step on from 7 figure turnover.”

| 084: Creating Cash Flow That Enables You To Spend, with Connie Vanderzanden | 05 Jul 2021 | 00:34:12 | |
How do you feel about the cash flow in your business? Is there more going out than coming in? Are you actually paying yourself a salary you feel happy with? You’re working hard, you’re bringing money into your consulting business, and you want to be able to use that cash. You started your business for financial freedom as well as to build the lifestyle you want and get results for your clients. But when you have revenue coming into the business, but not in the quantity as money is flowing out, that cash flow problem is really hard to face. Balancing those two things is a challenge for so many of the women that I speak to. The good news is that you can get to grips with your cash flow and sort this out. My guest on the podcast this week is Connie Vanderzanden who makes numbers easy for people by seeing a different way of how cash flows through your business and creating a different relationship with money. She is on a mission to help entrepreneurs live the lifestyles they desire by learning the simple steps, structure, and discipline to create and save money. With 35 years of accounting and bookkeeping experience, a variety of industry knowledge, and her own real-life business growth journey since 2001, Connie developed the Going Beyond Revenue Cash Handling System, focusing on cash flow planning that creates profitable and sustainable businesses.

| 083: Are You Hiding Your Magic? With Michelle McGlade | 28 Jun 2021 | 00:35:27 | |
What do you bring to the table that nobody else does? When you start a business it’s so easy to try to fit in. You can find yourself effectively saying, ‘tell me who you want me to be and I’ll do it’. But there’s a reason why you didn’t fit into the corporate box. You have an energy and a sparkle that you bring to your work. You do things in a way other people don’t. Maybe you see things differently, or you have your own framework. What you bring to your business, audience and clients is your magic and I see so many women consultants who hide this away. They don’t want people to discover the real them. But when you uncover her and let her shine, that’s when magic really does happen for your business and your clients. This week on the podcast, I’m talking to Michelle McGlade who believes success is an inside out game and leadership of self is the key to building teams and unlocking your next level growth in business and life. Michelle is an award-winning CEO, best-selling author, speaker and podcast host. We talk about:

| 082: Building A Seven-Figure Business And An Alternative Lifestyle, with Sumeena Gupta | 21 Jun 2021 | 00:36:19 | |
Do you dream of a different life? Perhaps you want to live in another country, or build a business which allows you to have lots flexibility to enjoy yourself. So many discussions around building a seven-figure business are focused on the balance sheet, and doing the work. But you didn’t start your consulting business to work around the clock and never see your friends or family. Maybe you had a bigger dream. Maybe it’s a dream you are thinking will always be a dream. This week on the podcast, I’m talking to Sumeena Gupta who took a sabbatical after 10 years working in the City and went travelling with her husband. They ended up building a new life for themselves in Indonesia and a seven-figure business. I met Sumeena at an online retreat last year and when we were chatting we realised we are from adjacent towns in north London. Sumeena has built multiple successful hospitality businesses over the last 15 years and now works with women as a business mentor. She helps women build businesses that allow them to have freedom, impact and build wealth, with the ultimate result of generational change. She's on a mission to be part of the change she wants to see in this world! We talk about:

| 081: The Limiting Power Of ‘Realism’ In Your Consulting Business | 14 Jun 2021 | 00:13:25 | |
Are you growing your business accidentally or intentionally? Sometimes we can feel more comfortable with ‘accidentally’ doing it. That champagne moment when you land a contract which makes a significant change to your bottom line without purposefully seeking it. Intentionally growing your business is when you work towards a big picture you have in your mind. But I see so many women who do this: you might have a goal in mind but you shy away from writing it down, or telling it to anyone. And then when you do talk to someone about it, or you start to think about that goal, you find yourself saying, ‘but I suppose I have to be realistic…’ And you make it smaller. If you have found yourself setting a goal and then dialling down your expectations of what is possible, then this episode is for you. I am talking about the limiting power of ‘realism’ in your consulting business. I discuss:

Have you got more money in your bank account than you have ever had before? Or are you predicting that this is going to happen in your consulting business soon? Do you know what you are going to do with it? I don’t mean going on a shopping spree or buying a dream property, but how you will manage that wealth. A sudden change in fortune can be destabilising. What can feel like a piece of the puzzle slotting into place can open up a new section of the board as you take decisions you haven’t had to make before. Wealth brings new decisions and you might find it difficult to talk about those with friends and family who are not in your position. There's also such a cultural discomfort with women and wealth. My guest on the podcast this week is Kaitlyn Carlson, who is President and Founder of Theory Planning Partners, a boutique wealth management firm for women in business. We talk about:

You tell yourself that busy is good, it shows you’re being productive. But are you spending your time working on the right things? If you are a regular listener of the show you might have been surprised to see the title of this episode because one of the things I almost always say is that I don’t really believe in time management. That’s still the case.

You know those days when you wake up knowing exactly what you’re going to do in your business and you start working and you just don’t have the energy. You feel flat. You know what you should be doing but no matter how much you berate yourself for not getting on with what’s on your task list, work is slow. You don’t feel like this is what’s right for you. Your body is saying no, while your head is saying, ‘you had a plan! A timetable! Get on with it!’ And then there are times when you get a really good feeling about doing something but your logical brain isn’t so sure. You know, your heart or gut says go for it but your mind says, ‘no’ or ‘wait’. What is happening here? Why do we go off course? Well you might not be. You’re trying to do things while ignoring your energy.

| 077: Honouring Your Boundaries As Your Business Grows | 24 May 2021 | 00:17:42 | |
As you start to charge more for your services or when you deliver larger projects and contracts for higher profile clients, something unexpected happens. Actually, several things. But the one I’m talking about today is that you can find your boundaries are tested. You might have various rules that you stick to like no work after 6pm or no replying to emails at the weekend. But then you get a gig that has you jumping around the room with joy and when you get an email on a Saturday about it, you find yourself replying. After all, it’s a big client, you want to show them you’re on it. Suddenly, you find you’re working on the weekend, because it’s never just replying to one email is it? Your boundaries are an important part of your business, not just for you but for your clients. In this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about honouring your boundaries as your business grows.

When you set up a consulting business it’s often just you delivering the work at the start. But if you want to sell it or make it less reliant on you being present every day, you need something other than your expertise to sell. Whether you plan to exit by selling your business or not, it’s really good to understand what makes for a good sales proposition. This changes everything about how you approach your business. You might be thinking, ‘but there’s only me, I don’t have anything else to offer’. My guest on the podcast this week is Erin Austin, who is a lawyer and consultant using her experience in big law and corporations to help consultants identify the hidden assets in their business.

| 188: Seven Figures Club vs Limitless Coaching | 21 Oct 2024 | 00:20:15 | |
In this week’s episode, I’m talking about something a little different! I’m sharing about my top two coaching programs for my women consultant clients - Seven Figures Club and Limitless. I talk about how the programs work, who they’re for, and what’s involved, including sharing about our amazing transformational retreats and what makes working with me different to other coaching programs. Both programs are designed to provide deep, hands-on support, empowering ambitious women to scale their businesses without losing sight of their personal values or work-life balance.
Quotes: “I’ve always wanted my business to be that port in the storm for ambitious women who don’t buy into the idea that if you’re a woman, you have to struggle as an entrepreneur.” “It’s a powerful thing knowing that there are other women out there going on the same journey to seven figures. I think that often it can feel like a lot of women entrepreneurs don’t aspire to 7 figures or are actually really triggered by 7 figures. This is why my company is called Seven Figure Consultant Ltd, because I have always known that consulting is an excellent avenue for women consultants to make the amounts of money they couldn’t in their corporate careers.” “The reality for consultants is that you can get to 7 figures on 10 clients or less. Several of my clients do $200k engagements as standard. 5 of those and boom.”

| 074: Stepping into Abundance | 13 May 2021 | 00:09:06 | |
Abundance can be a loaded word for lots of us. Life doesn’t always feel abundant. We can grow up full of fear, convinced the world is a hostile place and that we are going to have to fight hard to make something of ourselves. This week on the podcast I am talking about stepping into abundance after a client got in touch with me following Episode 71 when I discussed what to do if your client is stuck in scarcity. She asked, ‘how do I know if I’m stepping into abundance, or just making really reckless financial decisions in my business?’ It’s such a great question and this is the conversation we’re having this week.

When you step into the role of being the CEO of your consulting business, you need a team you can trust to make everything run smoothly. That brings with it a whole lot of questions and mindset issues as you let go of parts of your business and ask other people to step in. Whether you have started hiring a team, have hired and then had second thoughts, or you know you need one but don’t know where to start, this episode is for you. I am talking to Lauren Goldstein, who is referred to by her clients as “The Business Doctor”. She is founder and CEO of the award-winning and globally recognized boutique business strategy consulting firm, Golden Key Partnership. As a trusted advisor to CEOs of some of the fastest growing businesses for over 10 years, Lauren has helped owners go from business operators to business owners. In doing this, these owners find they have more time and freedom, are able to create more profitability, enjoy their businesses again, and have a bigger impact with their customers. Golden Key Partnership helps businesses get off the hire/fire cycle, helps teams work more cohesively and efficiently for maximum impact, and tunes up operations to consistently and predictably raise the bottom line of the business.

It can often reveal the personal development we need to do on the journey to become the version of ourselves we want and aspire to be.
