Sold Out Offers - LIVE Q&A: The Boundaries Edition

How many times has it happened to you that you get a message from a client late in the evening or maybe on a weekend and they’re asking you to do *just one thing*? And then you sigh, open up your laptop and do it? Well, I’m here to say NO MORE. In this live Zoom Room episode of the Peaceful Service Pro podcast, I’m helping you to brainstorm and set clear, strong boundaries to protect your time, sanity and energy.

Join me and a room full of powerful female service providers to discuss the boundaries that we already have and the ones that we need to set. I’m walking you through what boundaries are and why they’re so important. You’ll learn why your struggles with boundary setting might be as a result of conditioning by society. Listen out for my practical tips on the boundaries that’ll help you get paid on time and dodge that dreaded scope creep.

Thanks so much for listening love and don’t forget to message me on Instagram to tell me what 3 boundaries you’re pledging to set.

Sold Out Offers - Frankly Freelance: How to Work with Chronic Fatigue with Franky Shanahan

In this month’s Frankly Freelance episode I’m joined by experienced freelance copywriter and digital content creator Franky Shanahan who was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in 2016.

Franky, also known as Love Audrey – her business name and long-time online moniker – creates beautiful, persuasive copy for clients as well as coaching them on how to create their own. For over ten years, Franky has written everything from brochures to blog posts and PR pitches to product packaging.

As well as being a long-time fan of Franky’s artfully composed and lovingly written Instagram Stories, I really wanted to speak to her about how she dealt with learning to live with a disability – both to raise awareness of the condition and spotlight someone who I believe does a fantastic job at weaving her reality into the way she runs her business.

We chatted in-depth about:

✹ Franky’s journey as a freelancer

✹ Raising small children around a freelance business

✹ Parenting and mother guilt

✹ Franky’s life-changing hospital visit and CFS diagnosis

✹ Navigating clients and deadlines with a chronic illness

✹ Managing energy levels and limitations day-to-day

✹ How Instagram Stories has helped Franky show up consistently for over 5 years

How much is fear preventing you from chasing what you want?

✹ Embracing your authentic self

✹ Prioritising self-fulfilment and happiness above everything

“As soon as you stop caring what other people think – that can be life changing. The feeling that I don't have to please other people anymore is incredible.”

I really loved talking to Elissa, she is such an inspiring woman with such an awesome career story and fresh outlook on life. If you want to work with someone to help you get out of your own way and embrace your fullest self go and book a call with her!

Sold Out Offers - My 5-Step S.T.U.C.K Method Explained

One of the certainties of building a business is that there are going to be many, many times where you’re going to feel seriously STUCK. Over the course of working with hundreds of freelancers, I’ve developed a method to help you get out of the mud and get your running shoes on, so you can get ahead to where you need to go!

Now I always caveat that my advice should always be tailored to your needs, but I’ve used this method time and again with clients and it WORKS a treat 😉

I call this method my 5-Step S.T.U.C.K Method and in today’s episode I will talk you through the entire framework.

The acronym stands for:

S – Strategy: having a solid strategy

T – Time Management: owning your schedule and energy levels

U – Unique Offer: having a super clear, unique offer

C – Consistency: committing to a rhythm to keep up momentum

K – Kind to Self: protecting your feelings and boundaries

Listen to the full episode to hear how to apply the method to yourself and your business – I hope this helps you feel a bit better if you’re feeling stuck at all, and don’t forget to say hello or tag me on Instagram if this episode/method has given you a lift ✨

Hot Tip of the Episode:

“One of the reasons you might be feeling stuck in business is because your strategy needs a really good look at. If you don’t know who you’re targeting, why you’re targeting them, what their problems are, how you solve their problems, what you offer them, why you’re offering it, how you’re going to deliver it, what it’s going to cost and the result they can expect – if you lack that strategy, that’s going to stop you from doing the simplest of things.”

Sold Out Offers - How to Redefine Your Schedule + Manage Your Time More Effectively

Hi there babe! Which of these sounds more like you: You’re a fierce freelancer with iron-strong boundaries set around your free time so that you can do the things you love, OR that you’re a busy business owner who’s rushing around working all the hours under the sun, cramming in client work to get everything done? I know which one I want to be! So in this episode of Fiercely Freelance, I’m going to tell you about designing your Dream Schedule to ditch the dashing.

I explain why you might have weird feelings about trying to work fewer hours (hello, bullsh*t corporate culture nonsense). Then I ask you a few key questions to get you thinking about how you’d like to spend your time at work and outside of work. You’ll hear me introduce my Dream Schedule time management theory that lets you focus on you first and your freelance business after.

Hi there babe! Which of these sounds more like you: You’re a fierce freelancer with iron-strong boundaries set around your free time so that you can do the things you love, OR that you’re a busy business owner who’s rushing around working all the hours under the sun, cramming in client work to get everything done? I know which one I want to be! So in this episode of Fiercely Freelance, I’m going to tell you about designing your Dream Schedule to ditch the dashing.

I explain why you might have weird feelings about trying to work fewer hours (hello, bullsh*t corporate culture nonsense). Then I ask you a few key questions to get you thinking about how you’d like to spend your time at work and outside of work. You’ll hear me introduce my Dream Schedule time management theory that lets you focus on you first and your freelance business after.

If you want to learn more about redefining your schedule and making your time work for you, then book a FREE Offer Clarity Call with me here. I can’t wait to chat with you!

Sold Out Offers - Service Pro Spotlight: Creating a Profitable + Family Friendly PPC Consultancy on 24 Hours Per Week with Hannah Zora Strong

Creating your own business does not equal having to work a crazy number of hours each week. In this episode, Hannah Zora Strong joins me to discuss how her PPC consultancy business has allowed her to work only 24 hours per week and still profit over 6 figures without losing her passion for her business.

Hannah Zora Strong is a PPC consultant with more than 9 years of experience. She has survived 3 major UI overhauls, was there at the birth of Froogle, and lived through the rise and retirement of ETAs and Smart Shopping. After heading up teams at MediaWorks and Silver Bean in Newcastle and birthing two children, Hannah is flying solo under Zora Marketing.

This is the first episode of the Service Pro Spotlight series, where I chat with service providers who have created a business that brings peace and profit to their lives. In this episode, you will learn tips on how to achieve the profits that you seek with your business, such as capacity planning, saying yes to projects that will get you out of your comfort zone, and then learning how to say no if they don’t work for you.

You can get in touch with Hannah on https://zoramarketing.co.uk/ or follow her on https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannah-strong-ppc/

Sold Out Offers - Setting Up as a Service Provider? Here's Your Business Checklist

Whether you are just starting as a freelance service provider or have longtime clients already, you need to set up your business officially. In this episode, I prepared a business checklist with all the basics that will allow you to have a peaceful business with your own identity and offers.

To successfully set up your business and become a fully fledged service provider, you need to...

  1. Get yourself an accountant.
  2. Get contracts in place.
  3. Set up a payment gateway.
  4. Think about your niche and differentiate yourself.
  5. Create your offer suite
  6. Get a brand identity
  7. Get an email program and set up an email list
  8. Take messy action and don’t be afraid of doing things imperfectly.
  9. Be confident in yourself and what you are doing!
  10. Have a bit of consistency in whatever you do.

Listen in to have all the details for each of the steps and remember – a peaceful business is not only following a checklist but also having the right mindset.

Your offer suite should give you financial freedom AND a spacious schedule – without you having to earn more. Come and work with me over 4 months in my high-touch strategy mastermind, Offer Suite Oracle to double down on your client journey-based offer suite. Enrolling now for our April 2024 cohort:
