Shownotes

Five years in business feels like both a lifetime and a blink. 

In this episode, I share the five biggest lessons I’ve learned running my online business - from building it during lockdown while on Universal Credit to creating consistent multi–six-figure years that align with my values, not burnout. 

I’m talking about the truth behind readiness, resilience, and what it really takes to build something that lasts.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re doing enough or wondered if you’re too late, this one’s for you. Spoiler: you’re right on time.

 

Here are the highlights:

Why my 10k month meant more than money (03:15)

The moment I stopped waiting to feel “ready” (10:35)

How I learned nothing’s ever as bad as it seems (19:36)

The truth about client care and repeat success (24:20)

Why focus will always beat frenzy (26:45)

The biggest mindset shift behind long-term growth (28:45)
