In this week's episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, originally broadcast in June 2025, I'm sharing practical advice for new and aspiring women B2B consultants aiming to reach their first or next $100K in revenue - including a free resource just for you! I talk about the common challenges of defining your expertise, identifying your ideal clients, pricing and marketing, as well as the importance of taking action over endless planning! Tune in if you want to confidently build a successful consulting business and finally embrace your entrepreneurial journey. Quotes: "If you build your business right, it will not be difficult to make your first $100K in annual revenue as a B2B consultant." — Jessica Fearnley "I always say to my clients that the $0-$100K phase of a consulting business can actually feel like the hardest one to crack because you're validating the business. You're selling something sometimes for the first time in your career. And worse than that, you're selling yourself for the first time, which can feel so deeply uncomfortable." — Jessica Fearnley "So often I speak to women who want to plan it out so that it's perfect, and then when they know it's guaranteed to work, then they'll put it out in the world. And I have to say, with love - no, no and no - this isn't how entrepreneurship works. There are messy workarounds and creative gaps and best guesses that we road test in the real world by talking to people." — Jessica Fearnley Useful Links Free Guide: How To Get Your First B2B Consulting Clients Buy Jessica's book, Too Much, on Amazon Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Leave a rating and review for the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast Connect with Jessica on LinkedIn

In this episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, originally broadcast in December 2023, I had the pleasure of interviewing my amazing client, Alecia Huck. Alecia is the founder and CEO of MAVERICK & Company, a management consulting firm that specialises in working with the leadership teams of fast-growing companies. Alecia shared her inspiring business journey and the valuable insights she has gained along the way. We also discussed the importance of valuing the work we do over the amount of time we spend doing it, shifting from a time-based approach to a value-based approach to work less while achieving even greater results. As women entrepreneurs, Alecia and I also delved into the unique challenges we face in the business world. We discussed the importance of letting go of control and embracing collaboration, as well as the need for self-acceptance and gratitude in our professional relationships. Alecia's story is truly inspiring, and her insights are invaluable for anyone looking to grow their consulting business. In This Episode: [00:00:48] Jessica and Alecia discuss how they first met and decided to work together after a serendipitous LinkedIn post. [00:04:15] Alecia shares the journey of her business, from starting as an entrepreneur with no experience to finding her niche in working with leadership teams in fast-growing companies. [00:07:29] Working less and earning more, and the importance of shifting focus from time-based to value-based work. [00:12:43] The difficulties of breaking free from old narratives and habits that prioritise overworking. [00:16:13] Relying on others and allowing them to make decisions for the business or brand. [00:18:58] The need to let go of control, loosen up, and take action without striving for perfection. [00:21:37] The reality of entrepreneurship and how it often involves unexpected challenges and growth opportunities. [00:23:21] Big wins and personal growth. [00:26:07] The limitations of working more and the impact of self-acceptance on one's effectiveness. [00:29:27] Breaking out of old paradigms to achieve new results and make a difference in the lives of others. Key Takeaways: As consultants and coaches, the work we do can have a significant impact on businesses beyond just finances, such as employee happiness and team dynamics. Many business owners who have grown their companies organically end up feeling overwhelmed and trapped by their success. Alecia and I both advocate for a shift in mindset from being a freelancer who tracks time to being an expert who focuses on delivering value. As women entrepreneurs, we often rely on ourselves too much and find it difficult to allow others to help and make decisions about our business. It's important to let go and allow others to contribute - We don't need to control everything! Find a balance between working less and earning more. Pushing too hard can lead to burnout and limit growth. True brilliance comes from self-acceptance and being comfortable with yourself. Quotes: "We mix up time and value, right? Because time is really easy to quantify and value can be hard to quantify. And what I think is really great is that if you actually make this shift from valuing your time and talking about things in terms of time and focusing on how long you work… if you shift over to thinking about the value you produce, I think that's better for your clients." - Alecia Huck "I call them your snakes in your brain, the voice that's kind of negative, right? It's a little distracting. And you do something really great and it goes, 'oh, you're just a spotlight hog'. We all have snakes in the brain, and some of us have snakes informed by trauma and really, you know, intense things in our past and that can make them nastier and more subtle. But, this year was a year where I worked probably less than I ever had. And I want to be really clear, the results that I produced with my people were extraordinary." - Alecia Huck "I think that we often are so self-reliant, and there are often backstories that completely explain why we're like that, but I think for women entrepreneurs, we rely on ourselves aggressively. And we have to be told how to include other people and how to allow other people to help us, because actually, that's not something that comes naturally." - Jessica Fearnley Useful Links Alecia: Alecia's LinkedIn MAVERICK & Company Website Jessica: Buy Jessica's book, Too Much, on Amazon Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Leave a rating and review for the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast Connect with Jessica on LinkedIn Guest Bio Alecia Huck is the founder and owner of MAVERICK & Company, a management consulting firm that specialises in working with the leadership teams of fast-growing companies.

In this episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, originally broadcast in June 2023, Catherine Hamilton, the visionary behind Trestle Solutions, and I discuss what it looks like to consciously break your own rules and create the business and life you truly desire. Catherine initially sought my guidance as a business coach two and a half years ago, and it has been a privilege to support her business and personal growth since then. We delve into the challenges impeding women from creating a business and the restrictive rules that hinder their happiness once they have established their enterprise. Catherine is a walking example of how coaching has helped her expand in life and her business, and she offers valuable counsel for women who are still employed in the corporate world but aspire to venture into entrepreneurship. In This Episode: [00:00] Jessica and Catherine chat about how they connected. [03:24] Catherine discusses how she planned for her four-week business remote session. [06:48] Jessica and Catherine discuss how rules promote your journey, but are they made to be broken? [12:58] Catherine shares rules she recognized needed to be changed. [19:53] What has Catherine learned about herself since starting her business? [24:20] Catherine gives an overview of the dashboard she uses to chart her business. [30:40] Catherine has advice for women still working in a corporate setting, and she encourages women to reach out for the help they need through coaching or mentoring. Key Takeaways: A significant advantage of working for yourself is setting your schedule and realizing you should work hard when the situation calls for it but also permit yourself to walk away from the desk. Recognize in your business and life that you do not need to say yes to everyone. Fear of the unknown will keep a woman from starting a business. To overcome that fear, one should speak to other women who have moved from employee to business owner. Quotes: "When I was finished with corporate, I felt like, when I was working for myself, if I took time out for lunch or went for a coffee, I'm thinking, Ooh, I have to get back to my desk. And then I would laugh and say, well, I'm the boss. I had to learn to permit myself to lean into something like this." - Catherine Hamilton "We've talked previously about the tendency to overlay the corporate structure onto the business that we, as women, create because we don't know any differently. So it takes a bit of "deprogramming" or unlearning what has been decades of an approach to business." - Catherine Hamilton "When companies hyper-focus on creative, they miss the opportunity to make a new brand a catalyst for change within the organization. That's why we create a vision & strategy for implementing a new brand – to meaningfully move a company beyond, 'We've always done it this way.'" - Catherine Hamilton Useful Links Catherine: Connect with Catherine on LinkedIn Visit Catherine's website for more information Jessica: Buy Jessica's book, Too Much, on Amazon Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Leave a rating and review for the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast Connect with Jessica on LinkedIn Guest Bio: Catherine Hamilton, CEO & Founder of Trestle Solutions, partners with companies to evolve their Marketing after mergers or significant growth.

In this episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, originally broadcast in September 2022, Patty and I talk about the impact of wealth dynamics on your role and energy. Patty Caballero believed in herself enough to take the risk to leave the large corporate world to start her own small consulting business and recalls what surprised her when making the shift and some significant breakthrough moments in the process. You don't want to miss this episode as Patty shares some impactful pieces of advice for women looking to start their seven-figure consultant journey and answers the important question, "What does becoming your next-level self mean to you?" In This Episode: [01:07] Patty introduces herself and what she does. [02:23] The meaning of "big to small to big again". [12:01] Patty shares what she likes about running a consulting business and what has surprised her. [16:09] Patty recalls some of her memorable break-throughs. [18:47] Advice for women who are ready to start the journey to being a seven-figure consultant. [21:52] Patty explains what "becoming your next-level self" means to her. Key Takeaways: When branching out on your own, it can be tempting to play it very conservatively and keep it small. Grow into roles that energize you. It is satisfying when you can shift from a "revenue" mindset into a "what makes my business the best?" mindset. If you are going to start a consulting business, you should start it around what you are best at and what you enjoy most. Quotes: "Remember your best self because that's who you will be as a consultant. Think about the best work you've done that you have enjoyed the most that's been the most personally-fulfilling; that should be your consulting business." - Patty Caballero "It's not about making it look easy. It's about having confidence so it comes out naturally." - Patty Caballero Useful Links Patty: Patty Caballero LinkedIn Patty Caballero Consulting Website Jessica: Buy Jessica's book, Too Much, on Amazon Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Leave a rating and review for the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast Connect with Jessica on LinkedIn Guest Bio Patty Caballero is the founder of PSC Consulting, which helps growing healthcare companies find and amplify their voice.

In 1990, 55% of American adults reported having sex weekly. By 2024 that number had fallen to just 37%, and among adults aged 18–29, the share reporting no sex at all in the past year has doubled, from 12% to 24%. We are in the middle of a sex recession. And most of us have no idea why, or what to do about it. In this special episode of Good Is In The Details (recorded live at Podapalooza, a one-day podcast matching event) host Gwendolyn Dolske sits down with Xanet Pailet: nationally recognized sexuality educator and coach, somatic sexologist, and bestselling author of Living an Orgasmic Life: Heal Yourself and Awaken Your Pleasure, a former NYC healthcare lawyer who lived in a sexless marriage for over two decades before experiencing her own sexual healing and dedicating her career to helping others do the same. It's philosophy of intimacy, and genuinely useful psychology all in one conversation. What we explore in this episode: What's actually driving the sex recession, from smartphones and "bedtime procrastination" to the collapse of in-person socializing (young adults in 2024 spend less than half as much time with friends as they did in 2010) and what it means for our relationships. Why inadequate sex education and overexposure to pornography are creating unrealistic expectations and disconnecting people from genuine intimacy, and what healthy sexual education actually looks like. How bad early sexual experiences create lasting somatic patterns that shut people down, and what it takes to heal them. The common thread running through every healthy, intimate long-term relationship, and why most couples never talk about it. How to get unstuck in a long-term relationship that has lost its spark: practical, evidence-based, and compassionate strategies from a coach who has helped hundreds of couples. Why sexual expression is inseparable from emotional needs, and what happens to both partners when those needs go unaddressed for years. Whether you're in a long-term relationship that's lost its spark, navigating your own relationship with desire and intimacy, or simply trying to understand why an entire generation seems to be opting out of sex, this episode will give you a new framework for thinking about one of the most fundamental human experiences. About the format: This episode was recorded at Podapalooza — a live podcast matching event where hosts and guests connect in real time, no pre-research, no prepared talking points. What you hear is a genuinely spontaneous conversation. Sometimes the most honest episodes are the unplanned ones.

In this week's episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, I talked to Antonia Taylor, a PR, communications and content strategist with over 25 years' experience specialising in thought leadership and women's professional visibility. Antonia is the author of the powerful new report 'Being Seen: Women, Leadership & Visibility at Work' - a research-led exploration of how female leaders navigate professional visibility while driving systemic, sustainable change. This is our very first International Women's Day episode, and I couldn't think of a better conversation to mark the occasion. If you're a B2B consultant who knows you're ready for a bigger platform but something keeps pulling you back, this episode is for you. We get into why visibility feels so risky for high-achieving women, why the systems around us are broken (not us), and what it actually looks like to step into the authority and recognition you've already earned. In This Episode: [00:00] Why Antonia wrote Being Seen and what sparked the urgency behind it [04:00] How the pandemic disproportionately disadvantaged women and what the rollback of hybrid working means for consultants today [07:00] The 'visibility paradox' - why women are penalised both for keeping their heads down and for stepping into the spotlight [14:00] How Antonia gathered insights from eight senior women leaders and what the research revealed about safety, identity and nervous system responses to visibility [26:00] The reception since launch, the business impact of thought leadership, and why Antonia's white paper has opened doors she didn't anticipate [29:00] Practical steps for building a sustainable visibility practice - starting small, finding your place of power, and updating your professional identity to reflect who you are now [34:00] How collaboration, allyship and celebrating other women is one of the most powerful (and underused) strategic tools we have Key Takeaways: You don't need to be everywhere - you need to be visible in the right place: Antonia's advice isn't to post on LinkedIn twice a day. It's to find your place of power - whether that's a podcast, a newsletter, or a well-placed speaking engagement - and show up there consistently and authentically. Sustainable visibility beats performative visibility every time. This is smart leverage, not hustle. Visibility starts on the inside: Before you can be seen by the right corporate buyers, you have to update how you see yourself. Many consultants are still showing up online as the version of themselves from five years ago. Closing that identity gap - between who you were and the strategic authority you are now - is the real work. Your external brand should reflect your current level, not your starting point. Thought leadership is a business asset, not a vanity project: Antonia's Being Seen report directly changed the trajectory of her consulting business, generating speaking invitations, corporate partnerships, and expanded visibility with senior decision-makers. Getting paid for your brain starts with demonstrating what your brain can do. A well-crafted piece of thought leadership positions you as the trusted strategic advisor, not just another service provider. Quotes: "Find your place of power. If you like speaking, if that's your podcast, great. If you're a great writer, if it's your Substack - find your place of power where you can show up authentically and sustainably." - Antonia Taylor "I think that's why it's probably been quite successful because it's always been bigger than me. This has always had that mission of, you know, working towards creating cultures where women's visibilities and women's experiences, women's stories, are celebrated and they're supported and they're importantly safe as well." - Antonia Taylor "I have been able to remove a lot of the barriers that used to be in my way through doing my business... I've reached that tipping point where people tend to take me seriously more than they tend to dismiss me. It's the authority you build." - Jessica Fearnley Useful Links Antonia: Follow Antonia on LinkedIn Antonia's Website: antoniataylorpr.com Download Antonia's report, 'Being Seen: Women, Leadership & Visibility at Work' Jessica: Buy Jessica's book, Too Much, on Amazon Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Leave a rating and review for the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast Connect with Jessica on LinkedIn Guest Bio Antonia Taylor is a PR, communications and content strategist specialising in thought leadership and women's workplace visibility.

In this week's episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, we're doing something a bit different! My guest Sharath Jeevan, Founder of The Generational Success Lab at Oxford's Said Business School, is interviewing me as we approach the one-year anniversary of my book 'Too Much'. If you've ever felt like your ambition was 'too much' for the world around you, or if you left corporate because you needed a bigger playing field to run on, this conversation is for you. Sharath and I explore how I went from a rebellious teenager who wanted to be a rock star to building a seven-figure consulting business that finally gives me the container I need. We talk about the corporate exit, the early days of celebrating £3,000 months, and what it really takes to build a business around your zone of genius rather than what you think you're 'supposed' to do. This is a candid conversation about legacy, ambition and what happens when you finally stop trying to fit into someone else's version of success. In This Episode: [00:01:33] How Jessica's early ambition and 'too much-ness' shaped her path - and why entrepreneurship became the only container that could hold her [00:05:16] The violin, physics homework, and parental expectations: navigating the gap between what your family wanted and who you actually are [00:10:22] The corporate years at Sony and the moment Jessica realized she'd rather be made redundant than stay - and what came next [00:17:50] Building a £3,000/month business from the attic and how Jessica's husband became her biggest supporter [00:22:49] The pivot moment: when Jessica stopped trying to 'follow the business plan' and started listening to what clients actually needed [00:27:14] Getting past comparisonitis and imposter syndrome and why one client sale fixes most business problems [00:29:34] Reflecting on the book 'Too Much', writing as legacy work, and what's next Key Takeaways: Entrepreneurship was the only container big enough: If you've always felt restless in corporate, it's not because you're broken. You just need a playing field where you can run as fast as you want without hitting a ceiling. The power of low-volume, high-ticket consulting: One client sale can fix most business problems. Five clients can fix almost everything. This is why we build businesses where you're not making 500 sales just to stay afloat. Your ambition isn't the problem. The context is: Jessica spent years being told she was 'too much'. The breakthrough came when she stopped trying to fit into someone else's version of success and built a business aligned with her actual genius. Quotes: "Entrepreneurship has been the only thing that I found, the only container that can actually hold me, that doesn't make me feel kind of trapped or restricted and gives me a big playing field where I can run as fast as I want." - Jessica Fearnley "I always try and go with the path of least resistance, keeping the bar as low as it can possibly be, because then it's like, I may as well have a go. And you know, more often than not it goes well and it works." - Jessica Fearnley "I'm really passionate about how we can be intentional about our legacy. You've done that very consciously and deliberately, and I'm very passionate about how we can all try and find that whatever way makes sense for us in our lives as well." - Sharath Jeevan Useful Links Sharath Follow Sharath on LinkedIn Sharath's Website: intrinsic-labs.com Episode 112: Encouraging Yourself to Make a Bigger Impact with Sharath Jeevan Jessica: Buy Jessica's book, Too Much, on Amazon Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Leave a rating and review for the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast Connect with Jessica on LinkedIn Guest Bio Sharath is focused on helping Leaders across sectors futureproof success and build intentional legacy, with clients ranging from L'Oreal to the Barbican to the NHS.
