The CEO Show

Juicy updates and a BIG announcement incoming…In this episode I'm dishing the dirt on what's coming in 2025.

If people are enquiring to work with you, congrats! You've done the hard part.Whether they're emailing, DMing, filling out your forms or downloading your price guides - this is where the magic happens. However, it's also where things can fall apart FAST.Your first response to a new lead is single handedly one of the most important means of communication you'll have in the entire customer journey [no pressure!]If your response is a flop, you'll lose that sale. And honestly, too many people are missing out on $$$ because their responses are wishy washy AF.I've reviewed, edited, and revamped countless enquiry responses for my clients and in this episode, I'm sharing exactly what makes the difference between getting ghosted and getting booked.In this episode:Why you're getting ghosted: The #1 mistake business owners make when responding to enquiries.The sweet spot for length: Why both too-short and too-long responses are killing your sales.How to structure a winning response: What to include, what to leave out, and how to keep it fun and engaging.Simple fixes that increase bookings: Easy tweaks that boost your response rate instantly.LINKS:Apply for Freedom Empire [1:1 Business Consulting & Mastermind]Join the Offer Lab and build your premium, sell out offerGet my free AI Bot to create your million dollar offerConnect with me on Instagram hereLearn more about working with me here

Content creation always seems to be every business owners pet peeve.Not enough time, don't know what to post, stressing over the algorithm, feeling overwhelmed with all the chatter of content pillars, themes, buckets and all the things…The reason you're overthinking it is because you're likely drowning in a sea of social media ‘expert' advice that's making you think you need a fancy schmancy strategy.And when we're confused AF, we get paralysed and don't do anything - which means you're very likely not posting at all right now [and this is not a vibe!]In this episode I want to give you the confidence to tell the content pillars to f*ck off and just keep everything super simple so that you can stop stressing and start sharing!In this episode you'll learn:Why content pillars and complicated strategies are holding you back from showing up onlineHow to tap into your dream client's desires, struggles, and cravings to create magnetic contentHow to choose content topics effortlessly, even if you're in the middle of a launchHow to forget the ‘right' format and instead choose what feels fun and easy for YOU to shareLINKS:Apply for Freedom Empire [1:1 Business Consulting & Mastermind]Join the Offer Lab and build your premium, sell out offerGet my free AI Bot to create your million dollar offerConnect with me on Instagram hereLearn more about working with me here

Let's talk about actually enjoying your success.Because maybe you're already owning your wins. Maybe you're celebrating them, too. But then what?Are you actually kicking back and reaping the rewards of all your hard work? Or are you smashing the goal, ticking it off, and moving on to the next thing without pausing to soak it all in?This episode is for you if you've created success, but you're struggling to slow down, enjoy the ease you've worked so hard to build, or let your business truly support you.In this episode, I cover:Why so many high-achieving women struggle to enjoy the ease they've created.Signs you might be subconsciously sabotaging yourself when things start feeling simple.How I struggled to slow down and actually enjoy my 4 month trip to Europe despite spending 3.5 years building a business I could take anywhere.Why it's safe to let things feel easeful, calm, and simple - and how to lean into that.Fave Quote: "What's the point of all that effort if you don't actually stop to enjoy it?"If you're looking for a place to grow your business with personalised support, my mastermind Freedom Empire is open for applications.

In less than 12 months she hit her first $100k and then decided to start a second business which has skyrocketed to success.

Welcome to the Success Series!Over the next 8 weeks, we'll be diving ladyballs deep into the topic of success. I want this series to inspire you to really think about what success actually means to you, so you can start doing business [and life!] your way.I wanted to go a layer deeper than just the shiny highlights you see on social media - so this series is more about the messy, behind the scenes stuff that make's everyone's journey unique.I'm beyond excited to welcome my first guests onto the podcast throughout this series - some of my incredible clients who are sharing their real, raw stories of building their businesses. These conversations will give you a front-row seat to what worked, what didn't, and some of the wild moments they faced on their way to success.In today's episode, I kick things off by tackling a big question: What is success, really?For years, I struggled with this myself. In the corporate world, I thought you had to have a unique idea, be a total powerhouse, or hit millionaire status to be successful. And honestly? That belief held me back from taking the leap into entrepreneurship. I see this all the time - women doubting themselves because they're comparing their journey to someone else's.In this episode, I'm sharing how I redefined success for myself - what it looked like when I was building my wedding business versus what it looks like now, as a mum and a coach. I'll show you how I use my vision board to stay focused on my goals and not get distracted by shiny objects or what everyone else is doing.I'll also be talking about how success isn't static - it changes as we move through different seasons of life. What success looked like for me five years ago is completely different from what it looks like today. And that's okay. It's about staying true to what you desire, in this moment.So, if you've been chasing a version of success that doesn't actually align with who you are or what you want, this episode is your permission slip to stop. It's time to reset, reflect, and build your own version of success.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why success has no single definition and how to define it for yourselfHow external influences can distort your goals and lead you off trackMy personal stories of chasing someone else's version of success [and how it backfired!]The importance of regularly checking in with yourself to make sure your goals still align with your current desiresWhy having a mentor or taking a break can help you gain clarity and refocusHow to stay connected to your own vision of success using tools like vision boards, journaling, and moreMy favourite quote from this episode: When you keep working towards an outdated version of success, you'll always feel unfulfilled.If you're looking for a place to get personalised support to grow your business and achieve your version of success over the next 6-12 months, my mastermind Freedom Empire is now open for applications.

I've literally just wrapped up this year's [the first ever!] Bali business retreat, and holy shitballs! It was incredible.While I sit here reflecting on the most incredible week, I decided to hop on the mic and record an episode to share the lessons learned from spending 5 days with 12 other brilliant business women - learning, connecting, resting and resetting.This retreat was designed to be a blend of work, rest and play. Because I know that most female entrepreneurs never take time for themselves and rarely step away from the business.In the fast paced world of entrepreneurship, we often think that we have don't have time to slow down— I just have to respond to those emails, I just have to cross off one more thing from my to-do list, time is money, etc.However, what these women realised over the last few days is that slogging away on autopilot is not conducive to productivity or creativity. Because allowing your nervous system time to reset allows you to sharpen your axe and be the best business owner, and human you can be.This episode is all about the aha moments that everyone had during this retreat and some of the new perspectives they are taking into life and business, including:How to stop blaming yourself when things aren't working in the businessDifferent ways you can take time for you each day, week and monthThe power of being seen amongst a group of women who get itLINKS:Spots for our 2025 Bali Business Retreat go live in September.

Consistency is not a sexy word… but it's probably the most underrated strategy for growing your business.And despite people thinking that it's the fun, sexy stuff that will make them more money, it's often the boring, mundane day to day things that have the most profound effect.The trouble is, many entrepreneurs aren't willing to be committed. Maybe they try something once or twice and it doesn't work and then they give up.Business is a long game. And consistency is not sexy, but it's the thing that creates the results.In this episode I share:Exactly how I've managed to be consistent in my business over the last 4 years despite having two babies, being out of the country for months on end and dealing with a lot of personal stuff behind the scenes.The importance of implementing processes and systems in your business to keep the wheels turning even when you're MIA.How to create a supportive, but flexible routine you can actually stick to.And some tips for staying committed even when you have to do the boring tasks you hate, or you're not good at.LINKS:Freedom Empire Mastermind opens for enrolments very soon!

If you feel like you've hit the $5 - $7k month ceiling, this episode is for you.If this is you, then please know you're not alone! This is almost like a rite of passage for women in business and exactly the reason why I wanted to share today's episode with you.This is also something I faced when I first started this business back in 2021.Back then I was selling lots of different offers and providing heaps of different services because I thought selling more things = more money.Oh how wrong I was.I've since realised that the trick to hitting your first six figures is actually doing less, but doing it really fkn well. And this usually looks like going ALL IN on one core offer and making it as irresistible, highly converting and profitable as possible.In this episode I'll be sharing why having one core offer is your fastest route to $100k and how you can start to leverage your time and energy more wisely by committing to one thing for consistent income.LINKS:Want to learn more about Laura's mastermind Freedom Empire?

I want more followers! I want more likes!These are literally the only 2 things that people are concerned with when it comes to Instagram.And yes, it can seem totally disheartening when it feels like you're slogging your guts out showing up online and creating content and neither of these things feel like they are shifting.However, as I've learned from my own experience - the number of followers or likes you have have zero impact on the success of your business.And this is because there's a huge difference between the people following your account and those who actually interact and buy. So in fact, the aim of the game is to stop focussing on growing an audience, and instead build a community.In this week's episode, I'm sharing:The benefits of having an active community rather than a passive audienceWhy going ‘viral' should not be part of your strategyHow to use IG stories to increase engagement and interaction with your brandA seriously underutilised tool on IG you can use to create a VIP experience for your communityLINKSLaura's mastermind Freedom Empire is now open.

When it comes to your business, you are the expert.Despite this, when we face challenges in our business, being the expert can sometimes be a bad thing.When we believe we already know something, or perhaps we're a master - it can be really hard to think outside the box and get creative. And often, when we find ourselves in new, different or challenging scenarios, our ego can close us off from potential opportunities.In this episode I want to share the concept of a ‘beginners mindset' with you. In particular how this can enable you to find better solutions or easier ways of doing things to enable your business to flourish.This is a small but mighty episode packed with some great tips to get you thinking differently and opening up opportunities for expansion.LINKS:Book your personalised ‘secret shopper' audit HEREJoin Laura's FREE weekly newsletter for all the juicy BTS goodness, VIP access to new programs and all the special offersDownload the FREE Life First Business BibleWork with LauraTag me on Instagram @lauracanham_ to stand a chance to WIN!

If there's some aspects of biz leaving you feeling a little frazzled, it may because you need to tighten up your boundaries.Now you know for me, the aim of the game is always life first and establishing your business rules or boundaries enables you to focus on that.When done well, your biz boundaries not only ensure that you as the CEO remain happy and fulfilled, but also that your clients get the very best version of you and have a much better experience.Over the years I've learned this shit the hard way! I used to be the ‘yes' girl and the notorious people pleaser but it landed me in awkward situations time and time again. As soon as I got clear on my boundaries, and stuck to them, everything changed.In this episode I'm sharing with you the 5 things I stay true to, always. And I hope this is the permission slip you need to make some tweaks in your business.We'll be covering:Your personal capacity to actually be in the business, allowing for everything else in lifeYour availability to do the work and support your clients [this is different to your capacity!]Your response and turnaround times, and why you get to control this.Your communication process. How does this work specifically?The scope of your service.

I recently decided to secret shop my clients [and yes, before you ask, they fully consented! Lol]But the whole aim of this exercise was for me to act like a potential customer and see whether or not I would buy from them. This way I could really see what was working, what wasn't and where they could potentially be leaving thousands of dollars on the table…I reviewed their messaging. Did it speak to me?I looked at their branding. Did it entice me?How easy was it to learn more about them and their products?How much of a no-brainer was it for me to buy from them?Did they have a seamless customer experience?Literally everything that goes into both capturing the attention of clients and ultimately getting them to buy.And holy shit balls, was it an eye opening exercise for both them and me!In fact, I found 3 common things happening amongst the 36 clients I audited, and this is what I want to share with you in today's episode.I want you to take these lessons and implement them into your own business so you can essentially secret shop the shit outta yourself, and make more money!Tune in now to learn how to:Make your messaging clear AF on your website and Instagram so more people are likely to enquire or make a purchaseCreate a more seamless sales process so you don't lose potential clients along the wayShowcase your personal brand across your marketing platforms so you can build connection LINKSBook your personalised ‘secret shopper' audit HEREJoin Laura's FREE weekly newsletter for all the juicy BTS goodness, VIP access to new programs and all the special offersDownload the FREE Life First Business BibleWork with LauraTag me on Instagram @lauracanham_ to stand a chance to WIN!

You've probably all heard the phrase, you shouldn't work for free and exposure doesn't pay the bills. Well I disagree.Working for free is actually one of the things that's actually grown my business so fast and made me more money!Now I understand that exposure might not pay a bill right there and then but if it's done right, it sure as shit helps pay bills later down the track.And I think this is where people often get it twisted…Working for free is not a long term solution to business growth, obvs! Because you need money. But it is a means to an end… either as a way to kickstart your biz if you're brand new or pivoting into a new industry, or to grow your business strategically down the track.So this episode is going to cover all the benefits of working for free [so much so that you will be converted to this strategy by the end of it!]Plus some of the things i've done over the last few years for free and how they have had a positive impact on my business.If you're looking to grow your audience, reputation or income then I highly recommend having a think about ways you can start to do this and give back a little bit more.Here's some questions to ask yourself:Where are my dream clients struggling right now?What do they need support with?How can you help them?LINKSJoin Laura's FREE weekly newsletter for all the juicy BTS goodness, VIP access to new programs and all the special offersDownload the FREE Life First Business BibleWork with LauraTag me on Instagram @lauracanham_ to stand a chance to WIN!

I've coached hundreds of mums in business and every single one of them has felt the push-pull between life and work.Most of us are desiring both a successful career and being a present, loving mama. But let's face it, it's not always easy.Trouble is, most mums often find themselves in a state of overwhelm because they're trying to do business:The exact same way they did before they had kids.Like women who aren't mums.How they did things when their kids were small, but now things have changed.As a mum, it is possible to grow your business and your family at the same time, but you absolutely have to do things differently. You need a business model that supports this season of your life and prioritises what is important to you in this specific mama era.In this episode, I share with you some of the decisions I've made [the good and the bad] throughout the last 3.5 years of juggling motherhood and business. How I pivoted my business when I had my first baby, how I tweaked and refined my offers and sales process when I had my second. And how things are different again now I am working from Europe.To support you in refining your own business for motherhood, here's some of the questions I'm asking myself right now so I can make my business work for me:What is it specifically that feels hard, heavy or challenging right now?Is there anything I can press pause on right now?How can I better use the support of my team to take the pressure off?Where can I implement a new system or process to streamline things or save me time?Are there things I can ditch completely because they don't align with this season of my life?My new program Like A Mama is available now! If you want to learn a whole bunch of mama-friendly strategy, including how to work, create content, deliver offers, market and sell in motherhood, without pressure and overwhelm - this is for you.You'll get instant access to 30 audio trainings to help you refine your business and make things more supportive, easeful and impactful.Get the course hereLINKSJoin Laura's FREE weekly newsletter for all the juicy BTS goodness, VIP access to new programs and all the special offersDownload the FREE Life First Business BibleWork with LauraTag me on Instagram @lauracanham_ to stand a chance to WIN!

One of the biggest challenges with starting your own business is the shift from being someone else's employee to becoming your own CEO.And quite often, entrepreneurs who once spent many years working for someone else can very easily slip back into employee mode in their own business, and this can have huge impacts on your business growth and overall satisfaction in what you're doing.If you find yourself often slipping into the busy little worker-bee in your business, this episode is for you!In this episode, Laura shares:The risks of not shedding your employee mindsetWhy the 9-5 workday is old newsHow to ditch your corporate ‘accent'How to determine success when you're job involves more than working at a deskTips for embracing and embodying CEO modeLINKSJoin Laura's FREE weekly newsletter for all the juicy BTS goodness, VIP access to new programs and all the special offersDownload the FREE Life First Business BibleWork with LauraTag me on Instagram @lauracanham_ to stand a chance to WIN!

I'm back with another installment of ‘what Laura learned about business from her random bucket list of adventures' lol.This week is officially 5 years since I hiked to Everest Base Camp. It was definitely an interesting [read as: f*cked up!] experience to say the least, but as I was sat reflecting on this trip, I realised there were so many lessons I learned which can be applied to running a business.So in this episode, I'll be sharing a bit about the journey, the good, the bad and the ugly - all in the context of business.Tune in to hear more about what it takes to train for something like this, what mountain life is like and all the times I really wanted to tap out.

You might have heard the phrase ‘you can't manage what you don't measure'.And this basically means, if you're wanting to make any changes in your business, you need some data or information to guide you.And most entrepreneurs want to save time in their business, save money, create more flexibility or boost their income, but they haven't been gathering the data to inform them exactly how to do this.Maybe you've avoided it because it seems confusing. Maybe you're not sure where to start or find the right information. Or maybe you just feel like you're just not good at this stuff. Don't stress, this was me too!In today's episode I'll be sharing 3 things to be tracking across your business in order to make more money and create more freedom. Truly, these things guide every decision I make when it comes to marketing and sales.And as someone who is not a numbers gal, I want to show you how simple it can become once you have the right information and guidance.LINKS:Freedom Foundations is now open for enrolment.

Let's face it, we all want more time. It's the thing that none of us seem to have enough of, and we tend to blame time for all the things we didn't do… However, not all uses of our time are created equal!In fact, in business, there's actually 3 different types of work: foundational work, needle moving work and surface level work. And the trouble is, most entrepreneurs are only focussing on the surface level work - and this is what leads us to feeling ‘busy' all the time but without many huge shifts happening in the business.In this episode you'll learn more about these different types of work and where to put your focus for the biggest and best results.I'll be sharing:How to change your perception on timeThe difference between working ‘on' and ‘in' your businessHow to really maximise your results when you have limited time Freedom Foundations is now open for enrolment!In this 4 week live program you'll learn to master the back-end of your business so you can fast-track your impact and income.

What do I charge? The question that can cause so much debate and confusion.Truthbomb - there is no magic formula to setting the perfect price. It's actually all very subjective. And in most industries there is no hard and fast rule when it comes to how much to charge. So how do you account for your time? Effort? Knowledge and expertise?

Have you heard of the ick? It's a term often used in the dating world when we suddenly get a weird feeling and start to dislike the person we're dating.Now the business ick is very similar. It's a feeling that you get and you just know something isn't right. You start to dislike your business but you don't know why.And the trouble with the business ick is that most entrepreneurs let it fester. They don't address it and it gets worse and worse until they break it off and throw their business in the bin.Now obvs I don't want that for you! So this episode is all about how to identify whether you've got [or you're getting] the ick.

Since when did $10k months become the marker of success?This week's episode is a little spicy as I dive into where this $10k month trend has come from and why it needs to stop being everyone's business goal.I see so many entrepreneurs getting caught in the hype of wanting to be in the $10k club, without fully understanding their own financial and business goals, and instead blindly chasing a random number.When we aren't clear on what we desire, it can cause so many issues with how we run our business, our mindset, our profit and our happiness.Aligned & Abundant is happening on 19 March, make sure you register nowIn this free workshop you'll learn exactly how to understand your financial freedom number, and using the workbook and step by step method I provide, you'll be able to pull this apart and figure out how to actually create that income in your business this year.This is going to be a super interactive, practical session.

‘Business is easy'. Lol. This is by far one of the biggest lies you'll see online…Now, the definition of easy is when things are simple, uncomplicated, quick and no fuss, and let's be really honest - business simply is not that!But when this is the message we are constantly being fed online, it can be super harmful. Because it's starting to create a whole group of business owners who think they can do no work and get results, or that they can be making $10k months in their first week in biz.Let's call a spade a spade, business requires hard work. It requires dedication. It is never easy - if it was we would all be millionaires right?However, business can be easeful. And easeful is something I can get behind.In today's episode I share the inside scoop on my Freedom Empire movement, which has been having such a huge impact on my clients, not only in terms of their income and business growth but most importantly, their overall happiness and fulfillment - and that's what it's all about right?This is part one of a brand new 3-part series where you can learn how to create an easeful business - one with more flexibility, more family time and more fun!For today's episode:I kick off by debunking a few myths about ‘easy' business.I share a strategy for getting clear on your version of an ‘easeful' business and how to intentionally create more flexibility and flow in how you do thingsI give examples of how myself and my clients have intentionally refined our businesses to create more freedomMake sure you subscribe now so you don't miss an episode of The Freedom Series!And because I am so obsessed with this topic, I wanted to share even more goodness with you [without these poddy episodes being 2 hours long!].On Tuesday 19 March, I will be hosting a FREE workshop called Aligned & Abundant.In this session I'll be taking you deeper into the Freedom Formula, the signature framework I use with my clients to help them create more wealth, free time and creative capacity.

Manifestation is not just weird and wonderful woo-woo.Yes, a few years ago I was skeptical too because I didn't really know what it was or what I had to do. But now I've come to learn that manifesting is much more about getting aligned and taking action, and this is something I can get behind.I recently realised just how much stuff I've manifested since diving into this process in late 2021. From small shifts in my home life, to my big juicy financial goals and lifechanging trips - I have created it all.So in this episode I really wanted to share some more on this topic, and in particular debunk some of the manifestation myths, and showcase the level of strategy involved in making this stuff happen [it's more than just wishing it into reality y'all!]Tune in now to hear me:Talk through my personal process for manifestation so you can see how it's done practicallyRead out a snippet of my journal from 2021 and everything I managed to manifest from itExplain some of the things you might be doing to block your manifestations from becoming realityAND stick around till the end of the episode as I give you a sneak peek into a brand new 3-part podcast series which starts next week on all things FREEDOM!

In today's episode I am sharing a training with you from one of my recent programs ‘Idea to Income'.This part of the program was a huge AHA moment for so many people in terms of why their offer wasn't selling as much as they wanted it to. Because typically people focus so much on the ‘inclusions' of their offer, they overlook how it will be delivered. So you could have the best offer ever, with all these brilliant things included BUT if you're delivering it wrong - it could be putting people off purchasing.In this episode I share 3 different ways to deliver your offer so that you can choose the one that will get your clients the best results, create wider impact, bring in more income and most importantly, ensure it feels fun and easeful for you in this season of your business.I recommend grabbing a notebook for this one as I have lots of goodness to share!LINKS:Join Laura's FREE weekly newsletter for all the juicy BTS goodness, VIP access to new programs and all the special offersJoin the waitlist for the Bali RetreatDownload the FREE Life First Business BibleConnect with Laura: Work with Laura

What makes some women so successful?What is it that gets someone to consistent $10k months? Or to hit six-figure plus years?Over the last few years I've coached hundreds of women, and i've started to see some patterns emerge in how they show up in their business. I recently sat down and made some notes on some of the things they were doing and it became clear that there were 3 key traits they all had in common.In this week's episode I share about the importance of decisiveness, adaptability and emotional intelligence when it comes to scaling your business. And some tips for weaving those traits into how you do things so you can create the wild success you deserve.LINKS:Join Laura's FREE weekly newsletter for all the juicy BTS goodness, VIP access to new programs and all the special offersJoin the waitlist for the Bali RetreatDownload the FREE Life First Business BibleConnect with Laura: Instagram: @lauracanham_Work with Laura

Did I tell you that I once competed in a bodybuilding competition? Lol. I am not kidding.I don't think I've really shared this story before, so I'm really excited to talk about it more on today's episode. In particular, all the huge life and business lessons I learned from this crazy experience which I think you'll enjoy.Although I froth off getting out of my comfort zone, most people won't ever do anything challenging; either because they fear change or judgement. And this is the reason why most people aren't hitting their goals, or starting their business, or trying that new hobby - and that's a damn shame.I hope this episode is a humourous little pep talk for you, as I share the judgements I received when I told them I wanted to do bodybuilding. The lessons I learned from not drinking alcohol or eating any sugar for 9 months, the BS stories I told myself along the way and how I kept motivated even when it felt hard AF.LINKS:Join Laura's FREE weekly newsletter to catch photos of her itsy bitsy teeny weeny lime green diamante bikiniDownload the FREE Life First Business BibleJoin the waitlist for the Bali RetreatConnect with Laura: Instagram: @lauracanham_Work with Laura

My recent month away in the UK was a real pivotal moment for me. I realised that everything I'd been working towards in my business had come to fruition.Since having kids it's been my mission to have as much freedom and flexibility as possible. And most importantly, to build sustainable income that allowed for this.Most people operate within a business model of ‘do the work, get paid' but this is can create months or even long periods of the year when you've got $0 in the bank account.And yes, the title of this episode is a little clickbaity. Lol. But after seeing the shift in my own business during this trip, I absolutely had to share this topic with you today.If you're craving more security in your business. If you want to stop worrying about $$$ when you're on holiday, or take a random week off, or get sick… you'll love this episode.I share exactly how I've intentionally restructured my business to create more recurring revenue and passive income [the gold when it comes to sustainable business!] and give you some hot tips for integrating this into your business too.If you listen to this episode and you realise that maybe your business isn't sustainable or you'd love some support with building more recurring revenue or passive income in your business this year, flick me a DM on Instagram @lauracanham_ and let's chat about how to work together and prioritise this for you in 2024.LINKS:Join Laura's FREE weekly newsletterDownload the FREE Life First Business BibleConnect with Laura: Instagram: @lauracanham_Work with Laura

If you're anything like me you probably have a love-hate relationship with IG. I love the connections I can build with amazing people like you, but sometimes it's just so time consuming and creating content can feel totally overwhelming.I know that my dream clients are on Instagram, which means it plays a huge role in my marketing plan.

What should I charge? Should I increase my pricing? These are questions that come up daily for my clients, so I have so much to say on this.Because pricing creative services is mostly subjective - most people don't know what to charge. There's no set rules around pricing in this industry so people just don't know when  to increase their prices. And because of that - they don't and then it causes a huge impact on their income, their level of happiness in their work and everything else in the business.It's always so great to reflect on your prices towards the end or start of the year, whether that's the financial year or calendar year. It just feels like a nice clean slate and opportunity for change.To make it easier to see whether you need a price increase, in this episode i'm sharing 5 ways to know it's time. So I hope this episode is the permission slip you've been looking for to charge what you really want to charge!Want support to become the CEO of your business in 2024?

After 2 big years of growth, I could have very easily hit burnout. So one of the best decisions I made in 2023 was to implement a ‘CEO day'.So many business owners are spending far too much time as the worker bee in their business rather than the CEO, and this is why so many entrepreneurs tap out after a few years - because they end up a frazzled mess.It's so important to create time and space for you to step out of working in your business and actually work on your business. This allows you to get creative and strategic - all the things you need to make sure things are on track AND you're loving your biz!There's so many risks to not creating time to be the CEO, including wasting time on the wrong things or leaving money on the table by not being across your finances.In this episode I'm going to share a bit about why I started implementing a CEO day in my business this year, how I structure it and what happened as a result so you can see if this is something you want to prioritise in 2024.Want support to become the CEO of your business in 2024?

Not every year is going to be your ‘biggest ever'.And I know this is hard truth, and can be a bitter pill to swallow but that's what happens in business. You cannot be in a growth phase 24/7. Some years will be more about alignment, consolidation and refinement than the biggest income months.Because people's primary business goal tends to be money related, we link our success to the amount of income we've generated that month or year. But what about all the other epic, non-financial related stuff you've done?In Freedom Empire, we specifically focus on lifestyle freedom and creative freedom, instead of just financial freedom because all three of these aspects are equally as important.I wanted to record this episode to share what's been happening for me in business throughout this year and also let you know that you're not alone if this hasn't been your biggest year yet.
