| 118 | How to prioritise freedom in your business | 31 Oct 2023 | 00:14:29 | |
It’s easy for solo business owners to find themselves in ‘hustle mode’, trying to get more work & clients, only to find themselves overworked and on the edge of burnout.

| S2 E5: Morning & evening routines (improve your productivity with better sleep) | 12 Aug 2019 | 00:15:05 | |
It sounds dramatic, but during sleep our bodies and brains restore themselves, and if they're not able to do that properly, a whole range of issues can occur such as... Mood swings / anxiety / depression Microsleeping (where you fall asleep without realising - extremely dangerous if you are driving!) Your immune system won't have time to rebuild which will leave you vulnerable to more illness It is easier to become overweight as your hunger/fullness hormones are affected by sleep Higher risk of Type 2 Diabetes due to higher levels of insulin in sleep depravation Cardiovascular and blood pressure risks Scary, right? As you can see, lack of sleep isn't just a productivity issue. Yes, sleep depravation will reduce your functions and make you far less productive, and have a negative effect on your work, but for some reason this isn't enough reason for many people to treat it seriously! In this podcast I'm sharing my best tips for a relaxing night time routine and high quality sleep. | |||
| S2 E4: Understanding personality types (Myers Briggs & Enneagrams) | 06 Aug 2019 | 00:15:59 | |
When you discover what your personality type is, you can get a better idea of your natural strengths and weaknesses, and how your personality affects the way you work. Once you realise that actually you’re someone who naturally prefers a flexible, less-structured routine, for example, then you can change the way you were to better suit your strengths. Or if you’re finding that you’re more introverted than you thought and you’re ending up exhausted at the end of the day, perhaps you could try working from home rather than being in an open plan shared space? Meanwhile with your Enneagram, it’s very much about what you’re motivated by, which can help you understand how to be more productive and what’s going to be the driver behind what you do. For me, I know I’m not motivated by power, or perfectionism, for example - what motivates me is maintaining my inner calm and leading a joyful life - which means I always analyse any opportunities to make sure that this will fit with my goals. In this episode, I'll be discusses both tests and how you can use this understanding in your business. | |||
| S2 E3: How to create the perfect About page on your website | 22 Jul 2019 | 00:20:06 | |
Your ‘About’ page is where your customers go to form a connection and a reason to trust you. Don’t let them down! So many people end up writing up a lengthy essay about their childhood and biography, slap it up on their About page with a vaguely relevant image and call it a day. But the honest truth is that no one will read ever read all that. In this episode I'm sharing my best tips from working with many freelancers over the years on their websites, to create the perfect About page! Interested in doing an audit of your website?

| S2 E2: Being introverted & dealing with anxiety as a freelancer (feat. Olivia Bossert) | 15 Jul 2019 | 00:30:17 | |
Olivia Bossert (fashion photographer) and I sit down in this episode to talk frankly about what it's like to be self employed whilst being an introvert. We also speak about having anxiety, and while the two aren't directly related by any means, they can sometimes go hand in hand, and are both worth discussing! Here we'll share our own experiences plus our tips for overcoming feelings of anxiety when it comes to all things freelance. | |||
| S2 E1: Why you need processes in your business | 08 Jul 2019 | 00:20:57 | |
One of the best things I’ve done for my business is define ‘processes’ for everything really clearly. It sounds a bit boring and potentially intimidating to those of you for whom staying organised is not a strong suit, but trust me when I say that having defined processes in your business will not only save you heaps of time, it will save your sanity too!

| S1 E12: Taglines, brand statements, missions, elevator pitches & more | 15 Apr 2019 | 00:20:34 | |
Let's get clear on the language around your brand!

Each of these things have their own use and meaning, and are all super helpful for getting clarity around the personality of your brand and the message you're trying to get across.

| S1 E3: Target Customer Profiling - Get to Know Who You're Serving! | 04 Feb 2019 | 00:15:23 | |
There’s a reason why ‘understanding your target customer’ is the first step in pretty much any business or marketing related activity. They are the key person in your business - the hero in the story your business is telling. Did you know that in some countries, businesses are required to submit a customer profile in order to register as a legal company? Yeah, that's how important it is. WHY IS CUSTOMER PROFILING SO IMPORTANT? Without understanding who your customer is, it’s nearly impossible to communicate your business and market your products and services. Having a clear idea of your target customer, including their demographics, preferences, personality, background etc., means you can know: -What publications they read so you can advertise to them In this episode I've included tips on what your Target Customer Profile should look like, plus how to get that information and data to create one.

| S1 E1: Meet + Greet (My Freelance Story) | 20 Jan 2019 | 00:19:01 | |
Hello and welcome to The Freelance Fix! In this episode I am taking the opportunity to properly introduce myself and explain a little about my background and 'freelance story'. I’ve always been interested in creating my own business. Even age 10 in Primary School I was trying to start a ‘playground’ biz selling my keyring making services to my friends. When I quit my uni course in Hospitality, I thought I wanted to work in Marketing, but I soon realised I was truly passionate about working for myself. I left my job doing marketing for a software company back in 2016, and since then have been steadily growing my website and brand design business to a place where I have a really well-balanced lifestyle that I love. This is what I talk about in more detail in this podcast episode. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to my first ever experience of podcasting. It's a little daunting but I'm really excited to be publishing regular episodes over the next few months. Stick around for more on the topics of marketing, branding, design, productivity and freelancing! | |||
