If you’re a creative business owner, you know that you can’t just launch a website and sit back and wait for clients and customers to come knocking on your door.
There are many tools and software to help you create your product or service.

Because without leads, you don’t have a business.
In today’s episode, I’m going to explain what a lead-flow strategy is, why it’s crucial for any creative business, and how you can implement one that consistently brings in new clients without feeling overwhelmed or salesy.

If you’re ready to end this year on a strong note, and gain the necessary skills and strategies so you can live your best life, I am going to share 5 reasons why it’s not too late to believe in yourself, and your dreams.
In fact, right now is the BEST time to take action.
Here are 5 reasons why it’s not too late to create the home and life you want
I’m going to share a favourite quote from James Clear which is in Atomic Habits:
‘All big things come from small beginnings. The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision.’
This is a little reminder for any of you who have big dreams – for yourself, your home, your life.
We often think that we make those dreams come true with a big and dramatic action. But often it’s a small step. Saying ‘yes’ to something that’s important to you, or a step in the right direction.

Have you ever considered how the energy of your home can effect how you live, and the results that you get in your life? Feng Shui works on the principle that everything is energy. And that everything carries information: from the things in your home to the people you interact with, and the things you choose to do. Today’s guest, Julie De Ronde, says that what we choose to have in our home can not only give you energy, but cost you energy too. I'm excited to share my interview with Julie, who practises a modern version of Feng Shui, and in doing so helps people to create a home that makes them happy. Every person and every home is unique, and she knows exactly what each and every one of them needs to create balance and harmony.

Styling is how we can make the most of our space. It’s a way to create a home you love. It’s not about spending lots of money. Often it’s about using what you’ve got. And it doesn’t matter if you live in a rental or a place you plan to renovate ‘one day’. That’s because styling is the art and science of arranging objects. And it’s how you can enjoy your space every day.

Initially I was unsure of whether to record this episode, but then a black woman from my course said something that changed my mind. And now awareness is leading to action.

Let's start with one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves. And right now it’s never been more important to think about how we spend our days, and live our lives.
I’m going to borrow the words of American poet Mary Oliver, because she expresses it so beautifully. And I always think, if there’s an opportunity to add a little more beauty into our lives, then we should take it.
“Tell me, what is it you plan
to do with your one wild
and precious life?”
This idea of how you are going to live your life informs every decision that you make. From where you live, and the type of home you create, to the work you choose, the decisions you make within your family. And it can also inform how you choose to engage within your local community. And whether you want to have a positive impact on this world.
Join me as I explore this idea, and share some of the biggest lessons I've learnt.
