If you didn’t notice, it's been nearly an entire year since my last episode…but I'm back!

The irony is not lost on me that when I last shared on the podcast, I talked about staying consistent - and then stopped releasing podcast episodes for an entire year. But, business has been running along as usual this whole time and I’ve been consistent in other areas.

So today I’m back to re-launch the podcast and update you on everything that’s been happening behind the scenes.

Social Media Hiatus

In addition to pausing the podcast, I’ve also been completely off social media. Without going into the details, things were happening on the personal front as well as professionally, which led me to make the choice to scale back in order to preserve the quality of my work in other areas.

Taking the 30,000 Foot View

Having run my own business for 16 years, I know why it’s so valuable to understand the mechanics of business and how I can pull different levers at times to suit different stages and phases of business. We don’t always have to do the things we think we do.

I like to think of it as having a 30,000 foot view. When you’re up high, you can see all the wheels and cogs working together and how different things affect each other. When you have that outlook, you know which leavers to pull during different seasons of your life so that your business can keep running without having to pour time, money and energy into every aspect.

Booked Out Business Without Social Media

Someone asked me the other day how I’ve managed to market my business without social media. The thing is, my business has been fully booked out working in a variety of ways with my existing clients.

All I had to do was send two emails to my existing clients, offering personalised ways that I could keep working with them. Again, this is one of those levers that I knew I could pull and I’ve really enjoyed working with these clients during what was a challenging time on other fronts.

Launching Programs for 2024

As I make my grand return to the podcasting world, I’m also launching two coaching programs in the coming months.

I’ll soon be opening the doors to the ninth iteration of The Fierce Salon, which I’m really excited about.

This program is for anyone in a leadership position who wants to go from good to great by letting go of what you no longer need and going to the next level.

I’ll also be launching The Bloom Business Incubator, which is my program for mission-based business owners who aren’t yet making their first 5k to 10k months consistently and sustainably.

This is a group coaching program where I’ll be talking about taking that 30,000 foot view in business so you can make really strategic decisions. It’s going to be amazing.

I’m so excited to be back here with you all again.

Remember, life's full of ups and downs, but it's how we navigate them that matters. So, here's to staying curious and taking the high view.
