Every week, I get up for a ParkRun. Okay, most weeks. It's not for good reason that I'll often miss a ParkRun (yes, having your hair done the day before is a good reason) and I'll even visit other ParkRuns is I'm somewhere else in the country to make sure I don't miss out. But this isn't just about fitness. Showing up to the parkrun, seeing my time…

Picture this: you're about to make a presentation at a networking meeting, and you're asked by stranger "do you have any jack leads?" —how do you spin that into a compelling story? That's where the power of storytelling in podcasting comes to life, something I'm constantly fine-tuning on my own journey. This episode is a deep-dive into the art of c…

I've been a teacher since 2014, when I started training in schools, and since 2022, I've been transitioning from education to entrepreneurship. Online, it's easy to see everyone talk about the success of their business and quitting their old industry. But I'm here to normalise doing it slowly, one step at a time, and to validate that finding a comp…

Big visions drive me. I've always had big ideas, whatever role I'm in. Mixed Attainment Maths curriculums in teaching, building a community of single women to end loneliness, and changing the way the world thinks through podcast, and those are just the career ones! And sometimes life demands come into play, and in the interest of doing at least one…

It's always easier to look back and say "here's how to start a podcast" once you've already started one. The Single Girl's Guide to Life podcast started over 3 years ago, back in July 2021, and this podcast, Big Vision Business Owners, started 6 months ago. So from my two experiences starting a podcast, I'm gonna peel back the content to reveal how…

When you put yourself out there online in the ways I do, it's a funny side effect when somebody knows you before you know them.

And in this episode I'll share why those in-person, real-life connections, that come as a …

When you first start a podcast, it's the dreaded fear of every entrepreneur turned podcast host - what if nobody listens to my podcast? And from there, the overthinking begins... Are my messages landing with the right people? Maybe I'm not "expert" enough. Why would anyone listen to me? The numbers are low and you don't know what's working yet - an…

People are always really shocked when I tell them I network at least once a week. That's my average. I head to at least one event every single week, mostly in person, to network in the local community, or further afield if I'm heading to a conference or training. And that's because networking, at the startup stage of my business, is pivotal for my …

I hear it all the time - "How do I get more downloads on my podcast?", "How can I make it to the top of the charts?" And I get it - these metrics are the only measures we're automatically provided with when it comes to podcast hosting platforms and the public perception of how successful your podcast is doing. But with nearly three years of podcast…

Early into the "I Haven't Made It Yet Series" self doubt crept in as the sales hadn't yet. (You can head back to Episode 2 to find out about it).

I didn’t know it before this year, but until recently, I’d been playing it small in my business. When I first jumped across from teaching to business, I was thinking about hourly rates, what would cover my working, and adopting a self-employed model, working from my previous experiences as a freelancer in theatre. But over the past 2 years, I’ve re…

When I first started building a business from scratch, I didn't realise how completley alone I would be. I had jumped from a busy, full-time teaching job, with various additional responsibilities, to no job at all - just me, myself and time in my business. All that time, surely I was loving it?! WRONG. Despite the excitement and adventure of pursui…

This week, I had a moment of doubt creep in. As somebody that is inherently optimistic, positive and energetic, this is an infrequent experience for me. The toll of business however, can get the better of me and it reminds me of the human being that I am, and how it can't always feel breezy and that even with bouts of resilience and positivity, the…
