It's so easy, on the road of entrepreneurship, to go flying past your big (and small) achievements, without so much as a second thought. The pressure of pushing forward, achieving impressive goals and the ongoing pressure to generate revenue means that we can be left with a lot of achievements - and yet we still somehow feel like we're not doing enough.
In this Tea Break Episode of A Cup of Something Lovely, Laura talks through why it's so important to celebrate all of your wins - even the day-to-day small ones that don't seem so relevant. She talks through the psychology and the response in our brains when we do and don't give ourselves the recognition we SO deserve as business owners.
And towards the end, she introduces our brand new Rewards & Progress Tracker, a new digital download that we've designed to help you this specific problem.

In this episode of A Cup of Something Lovely, Laura is back for another tea break episode, tackling the topic of morning (and evening) routines. As an entrepreneur, it can be super challenging when you're feeling the pressure to craft the perfect and most idyllic OR hyper-productive morning routine.
For some, a more gentle start to the day might be more apt. And in this episode, we're sharing a different perspective. We also talk about the importance of dividing your day up into quarters, which can be a brilliant mindset hack when things don't go quite to plan.
And at the end, we'll introduce you to our brand new Productivity Planner, an amazing tool to support you in setting up your day the right way.

Procrastination is something that trips up almost every single person at some point in their lives, because after all, we are only human.

In this episode of A Cup of Something Lovely, Laura tackles all things procrastination, specifically in the context of entrepreneurship. She talks through some of her own experiences over the years, in her corporate career and in her business, along with sharing some hints and tricks on overcoming this.

On a recent episode of another wonderful podcast, I was interviewed about why sensitivity is such a superpower in business. And I wholeheartedly agree with this. But you know what I think is another incredible superpower? Introversion!
Introverted business owners, in my view, have a unique opportunity to craft purpose-driven and aligned brands from the ground up. Whilst certain personality traits and characteristics are often cast as negative things, I think everything that comes with being an introvert can be funneled into positivity - on your brand, on your business and on your impact.

In this episode of the podcast, I’m taking a deep dive back into the corporate world, and my goodness. What a trip down memory lane that was! It really made me realise just how far I’ve come with my self-confidence, and how much of a difference it makes when you build your own company culture from the ground up.
I’ve dedicated this episode to some of the absolute rubbish I was told in my corporate career - such as needing broader shoulders, needing to fundamentally change parts of my personality, and some of the other crazy expectations that were placed upon me. Brace yourselves, because I’m coming in with some MAJOR truth bombs in this one.

This episode of a Cup of Something Lovely was inspired by a request I had submitted by a lovely soul in one of the networking groups that I frequent. She asked - what’s it really like to be a founder… the myths vs the reality. I absolutely LOVED this question and I think it’s such a healthy conversation to open up on the podcast.
There are definitely a lot of preconceived ideas about what it’s like running a business, particularly when you’re in the early stages of entrepreneurship. So, we are getting into today - the good, the bad, and the downright untrue. Let’s get started.

This episode of A Cup of Something Lovely is going to be a big old permission slip. Having spent the last 3.5 years building my own business, I’ve come to a few realisations about how, as creative entrepreneurs, a lot of us can be very susceptible to overworking.
We tend to push and push ourselves, often to breaking point, and that’s usually to the detriment of our businesses, our personal lives and our mental and physical health. So, I’m breaking this topic down in more detail today, to give you some guidance around structure, boundaries and most importantly - rest.

A Cup of Something Lovely is a fortnightly creative business podcast.
I’m your podcast host, Laura Greenland, a thirty-something, former digital nomad, currently living in the south west of the United Kingdom with my husband Karl, and our lovely German shepherd Bear. I’ve been running my beautiful business since the end of 2019 and went full-time in March 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Having spent over ten years working in the corporate world, between digital marketing agencies and in-house for brands, managing marketing teams and departments, I was more than ready to take the leap into my own venture.
However, the pandemic caused me to leap a little sooner than I had intended! But truly, it was the best thing that could have happened to me. The business is thriving and this, combined with our adventures as van lifers for a year and a half, have left us in the best financial position we’ve ever been in.
We’ve supported over 120 entrepreneurs around the world over the last three years. Whether it’s via 1:1 support and coaching, in our beautiful membership space or at one of our in-person retreats, it’s always the most wonderful experience that brings an incredible amount of job satisfaction.
The podcast will bring you a brand new episode every two weeks, with a hybrid of solo episodes and hand-picked guests joining us for magical, aligned interviews. I’ll be covering a broad range of business topics, taking a holistic approach to helping you build a truly soulful brand, much like I do when I work with my clients. Marketing, messaging, sales, business structures, finances, , resource management, mindset - no topics are off the table as they’re all crucial to securing sustainable success. And we’ll of course be digging into recovering from corporate conditioning, whilst creating a freedom-fuelled life and business.
You’ll also be able to submit questions about your business to me via Instagram to feature the creative business clinic, a Q&A segment that will feature at the end of each episode. You can catch that from episode four onwards.
Keep listening for a few snippets from future episodes to get a flavour of what to expect. I hope you’ll subscribe and please, enjoy the podcast!
