This is a different episode to the usual one—because it's my last episode for a while! That's right, I'm packing my life into storage, getting behind the wheel of a van and I'm taking a mini-sabbatical. So in today's episode, I'm sharing *why* I'm taking some time off and how I'm reshaping my business as I move forward.
- Why taking some time away is the best thing for me right now—even though I buried my head in the sand for months.
- How making some really big decisions about my life has meant some really big changes are on the horizon.
- The reasons behind pausing this podcast (and it is just a pause, not an ending!).
- The one way that you can continue to work with me while I'm on my mini-sabbatical.

If you're not launching, then you still need to be selling. Live launching is a way to get things done in a relatively short time frame so that you can have some time and space instead of the constant sell. In today's episode, I'm sharing how live launching has created so much more freedom and ease in my business compared to when I was doing 1:1 client work.
- What live launching really means for you, your business, your sales and your audience.
- How live launching can help you to create more freedom in your business structure.
- The consequences of NOT live launching your offer/s.

It's easy to get caught up thinking that your business needs to grow B-I-G into some giant empire. But what do you really want? The thing about huge business growth is that it comes with a whole lot more responsibility. In today's episode, I'm sharing more about my journey as my business grew and why it's totally okay to be happy with where your business is at right now.
- Why growing your business means you will have a lot more responsibility (and how that may show up for you).
- How business growth also means stepping up and into your personal growth too.
- Why building your business around someone else's (Instagram) vision may land you in a place you don't even enjoy.
- Why doing more is not always the solution, especially if you're already an overachiever.
- When you don't stop to recognise what you have achieved because you're already looking ahead to what's next.

Today, I'm answering a question from a listener who has multiple offers within her business already but is stuck on what to launch next. As her current offers are at a lower price point, she's questioning if the next product should be positioned at a higher price point. In this episode, I'm sharing my suggestions for her next steps.
- How evaluating your business to take stock of where you're at will help you to understand what gaps exist in your offer suite.
- Why getting really specific on the problem your offer is trying to solve, or transformation they're seeking, will help you to create the next offer that your audience needs.
- The importance of researching your audience before you launch your offer.
- Why launching your idea first will give you so much information on whether people will *actually* buy it—before you put everything into creating something that doesn't sell.

Are you struggling with your pricing? This is one of the toughest decisions faced by business owners—grappling with the question of what to charge for their offers. In today's episode, I'm revealing the tendency for business owners to undercharge, rather than overcharge, and the signs to look out for.
- Why falling into the trap of undercharging, particularly at the beginning of your business journey, can be a fast tack to burn out.
- How undercharging can attract the wrong clients to your business, instead of the right ones.
- How finding the "uncomfortable price point" can promote action, especially when your audience doesn't value your offer enough to commit to it.
- The hidden message behind hitting your income ceiling and the value in reviewing your offer suite.
- When pricing does not accurately reflect the effort you're putting in and value that you're providing to your clients (and so resentment sets in).

Live launching is definitely an important part of my online business—and can be a great addition to most online businesses—however not all offers require a full live launch. In today's episode, I'm sharing 3 others ways you can sell your offers to your audience.
- The importance of a 60-90 day pre-launch nurturing process and which digital products are most suited to living launching.
- The benefits of evergreen offers and the value they can add to your audience as instantly accessible problem solvers.
- How "limited time launching" of a high ticket offer to a small, highly engaged audience can provide a positive cash injection to your business.
- Why offering existing or past clients an opportunity to continue their journey with you, using "next step offers" can increase the lifetime value of your clients.

Today I am coaching Carolyn, a naturopath and yoga teacher who sees clients 1:1 and virtually. The challenge that Carolyn faces today is how to create more programs without jeopardising her main offer. In this episode, we workshop different ideas to create a group version of her 1:1 program that doesn't sacrifice client results—or value.
- How transitioning from 1:1 to group programs can be challenging, while also offering opportunities for balancing personal interaction and creating community.
- How creating shorter programs that complement a longer program can make results more accessible, without compromising the personalised approach that clients value.
- Why building your program as you go means you can co-create it with your clients based on their needs and their feedback.
- The importance of exploring alternative options to provide 1:1 client access, like messaging apps and office hours.

I've spoken about niching a lot on this podcast—but here's the thing: Niching down is one of the simplest ways to shift who your business attracts. So if you're struggling to stand out and find that you're getting people shopping around for the cheapest option, rather than seeing the value in what you sell, it could be that you need to switch up what you offer. In today's episode, I'm sharing some new ways to think about niching.
- The common link between the niche you serve and your offers.
- The answers to the most frequently asked niching questions, such as "how niche is too niche?" and "won't niching limit my business?"

Our world is overflowing with free content and it's *way* more than we could ever consume. And as more social platforms pop up to share your content on, you're at the mercy of the ever-changing algorithms as trends come and go. In today's episode, I'm sharing my 3 top tips for creating standout content in a noisy online world.
- Why choosing your platform is more about being consistent than the platform itself—there's no one "right" platform to use.
- The importance of being intentional and strategic with your content, while focusing on your business goals and vision.
- Why sharing what other people are sharing is a sure fire way to get lost in the crowd—while it probably won't get you any haters, it won't get you any true fans either.
- The value of meeting your audience where they're actually at, rather than where you *think* they're at.
- How creating content for education is much more effective than content created to entertain.
