Sue talks about the importance of taking a break and prioritising self-care, especially during the summer holiday season. Shediscusses the impact of stress on the body, highlighting the need to replenish essential nutrients like vitamin C and magnesium.
Sue also explores the concept of resistance to change, emphasising the role of the body in signalling discomfort and the importance of shifting from a scarcity mindset to one of gratitude. Additionally, the episode features a coaching session with a psychiatrist who helps you overcome limiting beliefs through a series of powerful questions.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Entrepreneurs and leaders need to prioritise rest to avoid burnout and maintain optimal performance.
- Stress can deplete vitamin C and magnesium in the body, leading to illness. It is crucial to manage stress levels for overall well-being.
- Downsizing and focusing on gratitude can help shift from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset, leading to appreciation for what one has.
- By acknowledging and addressing limiting beliefs through specific coaching questions, individuals can overcome self-doubt and take action towards their goals.
- Taking a break to plan and deliver high-quality content for the next season of the podcast shows a commitment to providing valuable insights and support to listeners.
BEST MOMENTS
"When you are stressed, your body burns through vitamin C and magnesium. So what's happening here? We're more likely to get ill."
"You don't have an attachment to the stuff, the things you have. You are a custodian of it while you need to use it and while you want to have it."
"The difference is we tackle one of these and we go into the depths of despair of where it all came from and how we can change this narrative and what's going on there to heal." -
"You're facing up to your fears. You're facing up to everything that you're stacking up against yourself and saying, yeah, in spite of all that, or as well as that, and yes, that's correct, I'm gonna do that."

YOUR HOST
Sue Parker is a mum of 3, entrepreneur, podcaster and global speaker. As a former tech leader and equality & diversity champion, Sue went from burnout to breakthrough. Her journey of becoming an entrepreneur has seen her take the highs and lows life has to offer. From her unspoken post natal depression to opening the WIT global conference speaking to 100k women in 50 countries.
She’s hit imposter syndrome, limiting beliefs and had to unlearn and relearn to start creating a life with more financial freedom and aligned to her values. Still working on her mindset today and supporting other freedom seekers, including side hustlers, career women and business owners. Sue shares her personal challenges, the key lessons and wisdom we can all use to manifesting our life by design.
Sue studies the concept of the drama triangle, also known as the Bermuda Triangle of disempowerment, and how it keeps individuals stuck in repetitive cycles. The episode explores three key characters within this triangle: the victim, the rescuer, and the persecutor. Through personal anecdotes and examples, Sue discusses how these roles manifest in everyday life and hinder personal growth and fulfilment.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Understanding the roles of the victim, rescuer, and persecutor in the drama triangle can help identify patterns that keep individuals stuck in disempowerment.
- Recognising the importance of setting boundaries is crucial in breaking free from the cycle of being a rescuer and allowing others to overstep personal limits.
- Practicing gratitude and focusing on what one has, rather than what is lacking, can shift the mindset from victimhood to abundance.
- Realising that persecutors often project their own insecurities and challenges onto others can help individuals detach from seeking validation or permission from them.
- Empowering oneself to make decisions based on personal fulfillment and happiness, rather than seeking approval from external sources, is key to breaking free from the Bermuda Triangle of disempowerment.
BEST MOMENTS
"When you're stuck in Groundhog Day and you're not progressing, it can feel like you're stuck in this Bermuda Triangle going round and round."
"You don't need their permission anyway. This is your life."
"We're too busy trying to tell other people how to live a better life, how to earn more money and have more material things and a bigger house and a bigger car and forgetting about happiness, purpose, fulfilment on the journey of creating more freedom."
"You don't need their permission stop taking their advice."

Sue discusses the power of visualisation and how it can be used to manifest one's dream life. She covers the importance of getting clarity on what one truly desires in life, the science behind visualisation, and the surprising fact that humans cannot differentiate between reality and imagination.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Utilise the power of visualisation to manifest your dream life by getting clarity on what that dream life looks like.
- Start by deciding who you want to be, then take actions like that person, and eventually, you will have what you desire.
- The brain cannot differentiate between reality and imagination, allowing visualisation exercises to prime your brain to respond to stimuli in the real world.
- The reticular activating system filters and selects information, focusing on what is deemed important, similar to noticing more of a certain car after purchasing one.

BEST MOMENTS
"Most likely for you, tick boxes. The one that says, get this college qualification, get this job, get this car, get this house, check, check, check, check, check, check."
"The results showed that whether it was imagined or perceived stimulation or actually real on the screen, they couldn't tell the difference."
"The most significant piece of visualisation that you can do has got to be around you taking action."
"So you can't skip straight to the visualisation that says, I have everything I want, but I didn't, I wasn't it, I wasn't being it, and I certainly wasn't doing any of the work."

Sue discusses five key areas that individuals can work on to develop a high performance mindset, including having a growth mindset, using the mind effectively, embracing failure and feedback, taking consistent action, and building resilience.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Having a growth mindset is essential for a high performance mindset. It involves believing in one's ability to learn and grow.

- It's crucial to handle failure and feedback positively, learning from mistakes and not letting them break you.

- Building resilience is key to maintaining a high performance mindset, as it allows individuals to bounce back from setbacks and challenges.

"You've gotta make sure it's completely trained for what it is you're looking for and taking the necessary action." -
"High performance mindset accepts that failure is a given, that we have feedback and that we learn from the failure and feedback without putting our ego in the middle of it."

For this Monday Mindset show, Sue delves into the topic of perfectionism and its impact on personal growth and achievement. Drawing from personal experiences and observations with her children, she discusses the detrimental effects of striving for perfection and the importance of embracing a growth mindset.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Struggling with perfectionism can hinder progress and prevent ideas from being brought to fruition.
- Perfectionism often stems from societal expectations and upbringing, particularly for women who are taught to be "good girls" and not make mistakes.
- Perfectionism is a zero-sum game, where individuals believe they must be either perfect or a failure, leading to self-criticism and comparison with others.
- Embracing a growth mindset involves recognising progress on a scale rather than viewing achievements as all or nothing.
- Celebrating small improvements and growth each day is essential in overcoming perfectionism and fostering a positive mindset.
BEST MOMENTS
"Perfectionism is one of the key things holding you back."
"That comparison game, is it ever serving you?"
"Your perfectionism is somewhere on that scale."
"It's an endless possibility of what you are capable of."
"When you show up and do something at a level two, and then the day after you show up and do something at level six, that's to be celebrated."

Sue Parker is a mum of 3, entrepreneur, podcaster and global speaker. As a former tech leader and equality & diversity champion, Sue went from burnout to breakthrough. Her journey of becoming an entrepreneur has seen her take the highs and lows life has to offer. From her unspoken post natal depression to opening the WIT global conference speaking to 100k women in 50 countries.
She’s hit imposter syndrome, limiting beliefs and had to unlearn and relearn to start creating a life with more financial freedom and aligned to her values. Still working on her mindset today and supporting other freedom seekers, including side hustlers, career women and business owners. Sue shares her personal challenges, the key lessons and wisdom we can all use to manifesting our life by design.
Sue interviews Dr. Hosein Kouros-Mehr, a physician scientist and author of the book "Breakthrough: Master Your Default Mode and Thrive." Dr. Kouros-Mehr delves into the concept of the default mode network in the brain, explaining how it impacts mental health, productivity, and success.
He also discusses the importance of recognising and understanding the default mode network to heal and utilise it effectively, as well as managing stress, loneliness, compassion, and retraining the brain to shift from the default mode to the central executive network.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The default mode network is a key part of the brain that can contribute to anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues when overactive.
By cultivating the observing mind through practices like mindfulness, meditation, and journaling, individuals can retrain their brains to spend more time in the central executive network, leading to increased peace of mind and productivity.
Stress is a significant contributor to physical and mental health problems. By engaging in relaxation exercises that promote GABA production, individuals can counteract the effects of stress and prevent the stress response from occurring.
Loneliness, a common issue exacerbated by the default mode network, can be reversed by cultivating compassion, empathy, and gratitude. These practices can help individuals break down walls of separation and reduce feelings of loneliness.
Parenting can be a source of high expectations and self-criticism. By embracing compassion, surrendering to love, and being present, individuals can navigate the challenges of parenting with more peace and understanding.
BEST MOMENTS
"We all need a healthy DMN to get through our day to be successful. But for many of us, the default mode is on all the time, and it prevents us from being present and it can get in the way and really contribute to things like anxiety, depression, addiction, and a host of other mental health problems."
"I feel like everything we learn about the evolution of our brains and how we work. I feel like everything tells me it worked in the past, but it doesn't work in modern life."
"There are times where my default mode is on all the time."

Her journey of becoming an entrepreneur has seen her take the highs and lows life has to offer. From her unspoken post natal depression to opening the WIT global conference speaking to 100k women in 50 countries.
She’s hit imposter syndrome, limiting beliefs and had to unlearn and relearn to start creating a life with more financial freedom and aligned to her values. Still working on her mindset today and supporting other freedom seekers, including side hustlers, career women and business owners. Sue shares her personal challenges, the key lessons and wisdom we can all use to manifesting our life by design.
Sue delves into the topic of releasing stress, anger, and frustration through primal therapy techniques.
Drawing from personal experiences with her children and a recent stressful morning, Sue discusses the potential benefits and drawbacks of releasing emotions through techniques like screaming into a pillow. She highlights the importance of understanding one's emotional intelligence and reactions to avoid escalating negative emotions.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Stress, anger, and frustration can be overwhelming emotions, but it's essential to acknowledge and address them in a healthy way.
Primal therapy, such as screaming into a pillow, may provide temporary relief by releasing endorphins, but it may not be effective for deep emotional issues.
Engaging in rage or venting sessions can trigger the sympathetic nervous system, leading to fight or flight responses and potentially escalating negative emotions.
It's crucial to assess how venting anger impacts your emotional state; prolonged venting can exacerbate feelings of anger and frustration.
Seeking support from a trained therapist is recommended for addressing underlying anger issues and developing effective coping strategies for achieving calm.
BEST MOMENTS
"You see when you scream and express anger and frustration and start punching and lashing out you're triggering your sympathetic nervous system."
"They found in their studies that some people actually became more aggressive by using rage rooms."
"You've got to speak to a therapist for those sorts of things and maybe you need to deal with some bigger anger issues."

Sue explores the concept of the motivation myth and looks ats where motivation truly stems from. Drawing insights from Tony Robbins and Mark Manson, Sue explains that motivation doesn't precede action but rather follows it.
By taking that initial step, overcoming resistance, and creating momentum, individuals can cultivate the motivation needed to continue their pursuits. Sue highlights the cyclical nature of motivation and the importance of consistent action to maintain momentum and addresses common challenges like perfectionism and the fear of negative feedback, encouraging listeners to push past these barriers and prioritise taking action!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Motivation is not something that comes before taking action; it actually comes as a result of taking action.
- Overcoming inertia and resistance by starting with small actions can lead to building momentum and motivation.
- Consistency is key in maintaining momentum; missing a few days can make it harder to get back on track.
- Perfectionism can hinder progress, as taking imperfect action is necessary to build motivation and momentum.
- Taking action, even when not feeling motivated, can lead to a positive feedback loop of motivation and progress towards goals.
BEST MOMENTS
"If he waited to feel like it, he would never have done anything."
"This idea of motivation coming first is a complete myth. It starts with action."
"You don't need to feel good to get going. You need to get going to give yourself a chance of feeling good."
"The action inspires you even more that you then get the result of motivation."
"You've got to push through that resistance, that friction to get moving again."

I’m a successful career mum turned entrepreneur (soon to be author..) and speaker.
I was one of a few corporate women in tech who was successful to reach a level before hitting my head firmly on the glass ceiling. All while I was constantly having to choose between my kids and my career. I was burnt out, overwhelmed and unfulfilled.
I wasn’t living, I was surviving and this outdated corporate career path wasn’t serving anyone.
I took everything I learnt about systems, data and technology and created my first online business empowering leaders through training, webinars and coaching. Before finally accepting my calling to help others escape the outdated 9-5 and create a business that works for their life. Leveraging mindset and technology.
Sue looks into the topic of dealing with the fear of uncertainty when pursuing life goals such as leaving a nine-to-five job, starting a business, or moving to a new country. She explores the concept of embracing the journey and finding joy in the process rather than solely focusing on the outcome. Drawing on examples from personal experiences and research, Sue discusses the importance of being present, practicing mindfulness, and attaching meaning and purpose to one's actions.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Instead of fearing uncertainty about the future, focus on being present and enjoying the journey towards your goals.
- Incorporate mindfulness practices such as meditation, being present in the moment, and creating space to help cope with the stress of uncertainty.
- Attach meaning and purpose to your actions and goals to withstand challenges and find fulfilment in the process rather than just the outcome.
- Fall in love with the process of pursuing your goals, whether it's a business idea, a passion project, or a life change, for the sake of doing it and finding joy in the journey.
- Share valuable content and insights with others who may benefit from learning to cope with uncertainty and finding fulfilment in their pursuits.
BEST MOMENTS
"Over the last year or so, I have really been coming across a lot of mindset issues with new entrepreneurs, people in their nine to fives, looking to escape, people wanting to create more freedom."
"We all need to figure this out. If we don't figure that out, we're not gonna achieve anything."
"With meaning, a man can withstand any how."
"What if there's something about your business idea, about escaping the 9-5, that you just want to do for the sake of doing it, for being in the process."

Sue looks into the concept of self-sabotage and provides four simple ways to overcome it and stop hindering progress towards life goals. She discusses common self-sabotaging behaviours such as imposter syndrome, procrastination, perfectionism, and compulsive spending, attributing them to a comfort zone determined by a "temperature gauge."
Sue also examines the importance of tackling limiting beliefs, practicing self-love, addressing the fear of success or loss, and changing habits to achieve personal growth.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

- Use questions to reframe limiting beliefs by questioning their truth, absolute certainty, impact on reactions, and envisioning oneself without those beliefs.
- Build mental strength and resilience by fostering self-love, empowering oneself with positive affirmations, and setting boundaries to prevent disempowering behaviours.
- Overcome the fear of success by acknowledging and managing how changes in oneself may affect relationships and how others perceive those changes.
- Develop small, easy-to-implement habits aligned with personal values, celebrate small wins, and gradually increase goals to shift out of the comfort zone and combat self-sabotage.
BEST MOMENTS
"It's like the time that I have referrals coming at me for my business and I didn't follow them up."
"Procrastination is a form of self-sabotage."
"When you do the work on you, when you feel better, it rubs off on people around you."

Sue talks to Chloe Bisson, a successful book publisher and coach, about the process of writing and publishing a book and how it can energise your business plans. Chloe shares her personal journey of overcoming depression and transitioning from a corporate career to starting her own coaching business. She explains how writing a book became a pivotal moment in her career and offers valuable insights on the purpose and promise of a book.
Chloe emphasises the importance of creating a book that serves the reader's needs and provides practical tips for outlining and preparing the content. She also discusses the role of AI in book writing and highlights the significance of marketing throughout the publishing process.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Writing a book can be a powerful tool for establishing credibility and attracting clients.
- The decision to write a book should be driven by purpose and the desire to provide value to readers, rather than solely for financial gain.
- When writing a book, it is important to strike a balance between sharing personal stories and providing valuable content that resonates with the target audience.
- AI can be used as a tool for generating ideas and overcoming writer's block, but it should not be relied upon to write the entire book.

BEST MOMENTS
"I started my business being a coach and a mentor because I left the corporate world after going through severe clinical depression."
"The one thing I get frustrated with, with the coaching mentoring industry, if you will, when it comes to books, is it's like, oh, I'm going to publish my number one bestselling book."
"Your book's not about you, but it must include you. So have your book not about, it's about, it could be perhaps about what you teach, like what does your reader really need?"
"Writing a book is the same as marketing because you've got to sell the thing at the end of the day and a lot of people don't think about marketing their book until the end."

Sue delves into the art and science of goal setting, addressing the common mistakes that hinder our progress. She begins by emphasising the importance of not expecting to achieve goals as our old selves, but rather embracing a new identity that aligns with our desired outcomes.
Sue also highlights the significance of setting specific and clear goals, as well as the importance of focusing on a few goals rather than spreading ourselves too thin. Additionally, the episode explores the power of belief and the need to overcome limiting beliefs that hold us back.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Mistake 1: Expecting to hit your goal as your old self. To achieve your goals, you need to up-level your identity and become the person with the discipline and habits of the person you want to be.
- Mistake 2: Writing down vague goals. It's important to have specific and clear goals that provide focus, motivation, and prioritization.
- Mistake 3: Having too many goals. Scattering your energy and focus across multiple goals can hinder progress. It's better to prioritize and focus on a few goals at a time.
- Mistake 4: Setting goals that are too high. Setting unrealistic goals can lead to frustration and lack of belief. It's important to set achievable goals and have a range or ABC method to allow for flexibility.
- Mistake 5: Not knowing your why. Understanding why you want to achieve a goal is crucial for motivation and fulfillment. Going seven layers deep in questioning your why can help uncover the true meaning behind your goals.
BEST MOMENTS
"You've got to set the right goals, the ones that you're going to actually achieve."
"Your old self that is not doing those things, that does not have those things, needs to change. Your identity needs to grow."
"If you try and picture it like this, I think it will just give you that idea of making progress towards it while enjoying, playing in the clouds, metaphorically, to get there."
"Your beliefs are there in your thoughts. So everything you're thinking forms a belief in your mind."

Sue discusses the ins and outs of making money flipping houses, revealing her top five secrets for successful flips and emphasising the fact that anyone can get involved in this business, regardless of their background or experience.
Sue also highlights the importance of doing thorough market research, securing financing, and understanding the value-adding aspects of a property, as well as when to make the decision between flipping or renting a property
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Flipping houses can be a profitable venture, even without a large amount of cash or extensive time commitment.
- It is important to do thorough market research and understand the demand and pricing trends in the area before starting a house flip.
- Financing is a crucial aspect of flipping houses, and it is important to buy below market value and budget for refurbishment costs.
- Location plays a significant role in the success of a house flip, and buying the worst house on the best street can yield higher returns.
- Knowing what adds value to a property, such as bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens, is essential for maximising profits in a house flip.
BEST MOMENTS
"You don't have to be a builder. I'm not a builder. You're probably going to say Sue your husband's a builder. Well my husband would argue not!"
"Even in this market right now, some areas are not declining, believe it or not. But if they are, you can always do a five year forecast and see what the situation is then."
"The longer that you hold the property, the more it costs you. However, if it doesn't value up or the market is in a downturn, holding onto it and renting out could be an option for you."
"The rule of thumb is the worst house on the best street. I have never failed when I have bought in prestigious roads. We have bought the worst houses on prestigious roads."

- Work expands to fill the time you give it, so it's important to be mindful of how you allocate your time and avoid overworking.
- When faced with overwhelming decisions and advice from others, it's important to zoom out and see the bigger picture to gain clarity and perspective.
- Identify and drop any distractions or commitments that are taking up your time and energy, allowing you to focus on what truly matters and align with your long-term goals.
BEST MOMENTS
"Work will expand to fill the time you give it."
"You can't solve a problem in the mind that created it."
"Those other little goals, they're a distraction from what you should be doing."
"Quitting is a big decision...if it's the right decision, lean into that big picture."
"When we focus too much on the goal and forget to lean into the process, that's when we get stressed."

I’m a successful career mum turned entrepreneur (soon to be author..) and speaker.
I was one of a few corporate women in tech who was successful to reach a level before hitting my head firmly on the glass ceiling. All while I was constantly having to choose between my kids and my career. I was burnt out, overwhelmed and unfulfilled.
I wasn’t living, I was surviving and this outdated corporate career path wasn’t serving anyone.
I took everything I learnt about systems, data and technology and created my first online business empowering leaders through training, webinars and coaching. Before finally accepting my calling to help others escape the outdated 9-5 and create a business that works for their life. Leveraging mindset and technology.

"The problem with most passive income is that there's a period of inertia...you've got to put in all this effort."
"The mistake most people make is that they constantly take this earned income and just increase their outgoings."
"The first way to get started is by loaning an investment amount to a property investor...completely risk-free and doesn't take any of your time." - Host

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Conflicting goals are a common challenge for lifestyle entrepreneurs, especially when it comes to balancing work and family responsibilities.
- It is important to prioritise and choose the most important goal that will bring you closer to the life you want to live.
- Sometimes, one goal can feed into another, and pursuing one goal can actually help you achieve another in the long run.
- It is essential to recognise that life is in seasons, and certain goals may take precedence at different times.
- Trusting your intuition and making space and time to evaluate your goals can help you determine which one to focus on and when to pursue others.
BEST MOMENTS

Sue explores the topic of finding one's purpose, discussing the feeling of being lost and lacking meaning in life, and the importance of understanding one's why.
Sue shares her own experiences of searching for purpose and the mistakes many people make by focusing solely on making money. Inspired by Simon Sinek's book, "Start With Why," Sue delves into the concept of the Golden Circle and how it applies to solopreneurs. She emphasises the significance of values and identity in building a personal brand and finding fulfilment.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Finding your purpose is essential for feeling fulfilled and aligned in your life and business.
- Focusing on what you sell to make money can limit your identity and prevent you from diversifying.
- Your purpose and values should be at the core of your business and guide your decisions and actions.
- Your identity and the identity of your future self play a crucial role in shaping your purpose and vision.
- Journaling and reflecting on what brings you joy, what makes you emotional, and what feels like your biggest values can help uncover your purpose and why you do what you do.
BEST MOMENTS
"The biggest mistake that we make is the focus on what we sell to make money. It gives us no opportunity to diversify. It's hard to brand any old digital course, especially harder if the course itself is actually the wrong packaging."
"Your identity in the reality that you're in now and the identity you project to the world and the identity of your future self are two very different people. You wanna be an altogether different, more grown, expanded person in the future and you wanna bring that identity to your purpose."
"Your power is actually in your why because that's going to give you longevity. It's going to give this business that you're creating the why behind it will allow you to create a plethora of different what products and how you do it."
"The most valuable thing that you can do is to journal out these three questions: What brought me joy today? What made me cry, feel angry or get fired up? What feels like my biggest values today? After a few weeks, you'll start to notice a pattern."

As the year comes to a close and a new one begins, many people feel the urge to quit what's not working and start fresh.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Sue emphasises the importance of not giving up on our dreams, even when faced with challenges and setbacks., sharing stories of successful individuals who faced rejection and failure but persevered to achieve their goals.
- Tune into their intuition and assess whether their dream is truly aligned with their values and desires.
- Evaluate whether you are sacrificing too much in other areas of their life and if adjustments need to be made.
- Breakthroughs often come after periods of difficulty and challenges. Stay committed to their dreams and remind them that their biggest successes may be just around the corner.
BEST MOMENTS

"Nobody joined his either. Nobody believed in him and his message either. But look at where he is now."
"If other people are doing it, then you can too. You'll be different. You'll come from a different perspective. You'll be you. This is like your USP."

Sue shares a personal realisation about the importance of prioritising one's own goals and aspirations. She discusses the societal expectation for women to constantly support and care for others, often neglecting their own personal development. Sue also encourages listeners to schedule and communicate their own needs and desires, without seeking permission from others.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Prioritise making time for your own personal development and goals, rather than constantly prioritising the needs of others.
- Communicate your needs: It is important to communicate your needs and schedule to others. Letting them know when you need time for yourself or for specific activities can help set boundaries and ensure that you have dedicated time for your own goals.
- Stop asking for permission: Stop seeking permission from others to pursue your goals. Instead, take ownership of your own aspirations and make them a priority without waiting for validation or approval from others.
- Schedule and commit: Make a firm commitment to yourself and your own growth.
BEST MOMENTS
"There are very few people I find in the world who you can have a true deep connection with who you click instantly with almost as if they're family and you would do absolutely anything to support them."
"No one can ever write that on my gravestone because I battle with it all the time. How much do I give of me and empty and pour my cup out to everyone else to support everybody else versus feeling resentful myself that I didn't have any time to do my self-care, my growth, my development."
"You are going to schedule it and you are going to communicate it to the rest of the world, that it cannot be moved. It will not be moved. It's on the calendar. You're doing it this week, this time, for this long, for this duration."

Sue discusses the importance of building your own community and relying less on social media platforms, highlighting the challenges of reaching and engaging with audiences on platforms like Facebook, where algorithms can limit visibility and notifications.
Sue stresses the value of collecting contact information, particularly email addresses, to connect with your audience directly, and explains the benefits of email lists and how they provide a more reliable and personal way to engage with your audience.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- It's vital to build your own community and collecting contact information from your audience. This allows you to connect with them in a more direct and reliable way, rather than relying solely on social media platforms.
- Email is still a widely used and effective communication channel, and it allows for direct engagement with your audience on a regular basis.
- Relying solely on social media platforms for communication can be risky, as changes in algorithms or platform policies can negatively impact your reach.
- By collecting email addresses from your audience, you can protect your business and maintain direct communication with your subscribers. This allows you to reach them directly with offers, launches, or important updates, even if your social media groups or pages become inactive or inaccessible.
BEST MOMENTS
"The reliance on social media and getting people off those platforms is something quite strategic in your business."
"These algorithms are not helpful to you and they're controlling the voice."
"Email will continue to be a used, a long form, used way of connecting with your audience."
"Imagine being able to say hey to your audience, your direct consumer, but also being able to give them a deeper level of connection."

Sue encourages lifestyle entrepreneurs to set big, audacious goals, drawing inspiration from the likes of Walt Disney and other successful individuals. She questions why society often limits dreams and aspirations, using personal examples of being told to be realistic, and stresses the importance of setting goals that truly excite and motivate, rather than settling for mediocre or safe options.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Setting big, audacious goals is important for achieving success. Think beyond mediocrity and aim for goals that excite and motivate them.
- We should question why we have a tendency to limit our own aspirations and encourages listeners to believe in their capabilities.
- Role models like Walt Disney, Jeff Bezos, Marilyn Monroe, and Beyonce serve as examples of what is possible when we set ambitious goals. Their success shows that with determination and belief in oneself, anything is achievable.
- As an entrepreneur, you have the power to determine your own goals and the level of success you want to achieve. Unlike in corporate settings, where promotions and goals may be limited, as an entrepreneur, you have the freedom to set your own standards and push yourself to achieve greatness.
BEST MOMENTS
"Why is it that we have to limit their dreams? Why do we have such a limiting view of them?"
"But what if from now on we set goals and we mean it just like Walt Disney? Because let's be honest, if he did it, why the hell can't you?"
"I wanted to be on the board. Yeah, that was my level of ambition. But I'd always, you know, tailor it down because I'm a woman and because, you know, it's never going to happen."
"If your goals aren't big enough, let's up level them. We're going to set Walt Disney level goals today, folks."

Sue reflects on the challenge of competing with someone who excels at one specific thing while being busy with multiple tasks. Sue shares a case study about a company that shifted their focus to specialise in high-value and complex deliveries, which resulted in increased profits.
She also stresses the importance of discipline in sticking to that one thing and teases the next episode on achieving "monks mode" to minimise distractions.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- It's important to focus on one thing and do it exceptionally well, rather than spreading oneself too thin.
- We should encourage reflection on whether one is trying to do too much and try to identify the 20% of efforts that yield the most significant returns.
- There is a need for self-discipline in sticking to the chosen focus and avoiding distractions.
BEST MOMENTS
"How can we possibly compete? How can you compete with somebody doing everything?"
"You're trying to do everything. You're trying to do lots of things when you should really be focusing on one target market, one niche, one product, one service, one thing."
"Everything else is like a distraction and we don't see it at the time. We're getting into things and we don't see how much of a distraction everything else around us is."
"Without feeling empowered, it doesn't matter if you know the how-to. It doesn't matter if I give you a done for you sales funnel. You ain't gonna promote it, you ain't gonna show everybody, tell everybody, you're gonna believe in it. So it is never gonna happen."

Sue discusses the concept of mental time travel and how it can either hinder or help us in achieving our goals. Drawing from the work of Benjamin Hardy and Daniel Sullivan, the host introduces the idea of "The Gap and The Gain." The Gap refers to the distance between where we currently are and where we want to be, while The Gain focuses on acknowledging and celebrating the progress we have made.
By shifting our mindset to focus on the gain, we can build mental strength and a growth mindset that propels us towards our goals.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Visualising your future self and building a clear picture of where you want to go is important for lifestyle entrepreneurs.
- Mental time travel can either hinder or help us. Focusing on the gap between where we are and where we want to be can be discouraging, while focusing on the gain and acknowledging how far we have come can build mental strength and a growth mindset.
- Daydreaming and using imagination are valuable tools for achieving success. Walt Disney, for example, was likely a daydreamer, which helped him create his vision.
- It is important to be mindful that the future vision or goal is not yet a part of our identity. We should detach ourselves from the outcome and be open to the possibility of something even better than what we initially wanted.
BEST MOMENTS
"You know, you probably already know I am a massive pro on visualising your future self and building that picture of where you wanna go."
"We can either be focusing on the gap, which is where you want to be and where you are now and the fact that you're not there and there's all these things missing and you've got this in your goals that you're trying to strive for."
"Look at where I am now. Look at everything we've achieved and how we've done it. And feel good about it."
"You might feel like nothing's changed. You might feel like you haven't changed but I can promise you you are a different person than you were ten years ago and in a good way."

Sue discusses the challenges of balancing the use of mobile phones as a busy mom and entrepreneur. She explores the guilt associated with constantly checking the phone for social media updates and emails, while also acknowledging the importance of being active on social media for business purposes.
Sue introduces the concept of "monk's mode," a trend aimed at reducing distractions and increasing focus. She shares tips and strategies for entering monk's mode, such as using apps like Headspace and creating a distraction-free work environment.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The concept of "monk's mode" is introduced as a trend to help individuals focus and minimise distractions. Sue suggests using apps like Headspace, One Sec, or Cold Turkey to enter monk's mode and limit phone usage.
- By understanding the why and what of their tasks, individuals can prioritise and focus on the most important tasks.
- Creating a conducive environment is highlighted as a key factor in achieving monk's mode.
- Rewards help maintain motivation and make the work feel more fulfilling.
BEST MOMENTS
"Now, apparently we check our phones every four minutes on average, as 58 times another study said a day. Wow, that is an addiction, isn't it?"
"When you start a business or when you're trying to build up your personal brand, you're on social media because you have to be. But it's like a catch-22 because you're often in the middle of other things that you're trying to do."
"Removing things out of plain sight will really help you. Like take the biscuit tin away from the side in the kitchen, whatever it is that's distracting you."
"I make sure my environment is such that I have my water glass, I have my laptop open, my gear is set up, my mic is always permanently set up, attached and connected to everything that it needs to be. The light is there. It's all there. I don't need to come and set it up every time."

Sue delves into the different ways speakers can monetise their speaking engagements, including selling from the stage, paying for self-promotion, and corporate speaking opportunities.
Sue also discusses the potential for speaking at universities, colleges, and schools to educate and build credibility, emphasising the importance of knowing your audience and having a clear funnel for further engagement beyond the speaking event.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Monetising public speaking by methods including selling from the stage, paying for self-promotion, and corporate speaking engagements.
- Headline speakers draw in the audience: Names such as Lewis Howes and Mel Robbins, command a significant portion of the event budget and are paid for their keynote speeches.
- One way to monetise public speaking is by selling products or services during the speaking engagement. This could include high-ticket programs, digital courses, or other offerings.
- Another option for monetising public speaking is by paying for the privilege of speaking at an event. This can be seen as an advertisement or promotional opportunity, allowing the speaker to showcase their expertise and attract new followers or customers.
BEST MOMENTS
"The headline speaker like Lewis Howes, like Mel Robbins, like Gary Vee who command most of the budget."
"You're not getting paid for the speaking, it's just an opportunity for you to sell your services or products."
"If you're speaking to like a head of department usually like a head of HR or something, they've got a discretionary amount that they will be able to sign off on without seeking further director approval or even CEO approval."
"If you in your industry are up to date, you can offer an immense amount of value to any program of study at a university, college or school."

Sue is here to provide Monday motivation, beginning by reflecting on a moment of doubt she had about her progress and commitment to her personal growth experiments, particularly her podcast.
Sue shares her struggle with feeling overwhelmed and questioning if she is meant to take her business to the next level, by asking herself the question of whether she is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve her goals helps put things into perspective. She also discusses the importance of focusing on intrinsic motivators rather than being too attached to external outcomes.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- "Will you do whatever it takes?" and examine your commitment and determination to achieve your goals.
- Sue stresses the importance of intrinsic motivators and values, rather than being solely focused on external outcomes and goals.
- Find contentment and fulfilment in the present moment, rather than constantly striving for future achievements.
BEST MOMENTS
"I was struggling with procrastination and a bag full of postnatal hormones, I'm not gonna lie to you."
"What is a truly financially free life worth? What is your dream life worth?"
"The problem is if you're too attached to that outcome, when you don't achieve it, you are a failure."
"You have everything you need right now. It's intrinsic, it's within you."

Sue shares three non-negotiable principles that have transformed her life and can do the same for you!
She begins by acknowledging the common struggle of starting new habits and resolutions, only to have them fizzle out over time, then reveals her three principles: a 10-minute morning meditation, never skipping a habit twice, and "eating your frog" by tackling the most challenging tasks first. She explains the benefits of each principle, backed by science and expert advice.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Incorporating a 10-minute meditation into your daily routine can lead to increased calmness, resilience, and a stronger connection to your goals.
- Avoid skipping your daily habits or routines more than once. Even if you miss a day, make sure to get back on track as soon as possible.
- Overcoming procrastination can be achieved by tackling the hardest or most dreaded tasks first thing in the morning. This can lead to a sense of accomplishment and productivity.
- Consistency is key. By following these non-negotiable principles consistently, you can transform your life and improve the way you live.
BEST MOMENTS
"You never skip twice. Skip once, never skip twice."
"Eat your frog. It's a famous book by Brian Tracy."
"That's eating your frog, showing up on social media, putting something out there on LinkedIn when you're still in your job."
"If you just live by those rules, 10 minute meditation a day, never skip twice and eat your frog, you'll just massively transform the way you live your life."

I’m a successful career mum turned entrepreneur (soon to be author..) and speaker.
I was one of a few corporate women in tech who was successful to reach a level before hitting my head firmly on the glass ceiling. All while I was constantly having to choose between my kids and my career. I was burnt out, overwhelmed and unfulfilled.
I wasn’t living, I was surviving and this outdated corporate career path wasn’t serving anyone.
I took everything I learnt about systems, data and technology and created my first online business empowering leaders through training, webinars and coaching. Before finally accepting my calling to help others escape the outdated 9-5 and create a business that works for their life. Leveraging mindset and technology.
7 Fundamentals to Creating an Irresistible Membership for Recurring Income
Sue explores the topic of creating recurring revenue through memberships. She shares her insights and principles for building successful membership programs, drawing from her own experiences and expensive coaching.
The episode covers various types of memberships, such as subscription boxes and online platforms like Netflix, and emphasises the importance of simplification, gamification, and progress tracking in keeping members engaged. Sue also discusses the value of changing things up, offering different tiers of membership, and fostering a strong community within the membership.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Simplification is key: Memberships that overwhelm or have too much content often lead to cancellations. Keep it simple and focus on providing value that simplifies your members' lives.
- Gamification and progress: Incorporate elements of gamification to keep members engaged and motivated. Show their progress and offer rewards to encourage continued participation.
- Less is more: Avoid overwhelming your members with too much content. Focus on quality over quantity and ensure that they feel they are consuming and benefiting from what you offer.
- Change it up: Keep your membership fresh and exciting by adding new elements, challenges, occasions, or events. This helps prevent boredom and keeps members engaged and motivated.
- Tiers and choice: Consider offering different membership tiers to give members a sense of choice and customisation. This allows them to select the level of access and benefits that best suit their needs and preferences.
BEST MOMENTS
"Because isn't that the ultimate time, location and financial freedom?"
"Let's just learn the real top principles that work in this session."
"What problem are you solving? How are you simplifying people's lives or making them progress towards a goal quicker and more easily than they would do on their own?"
"If I can see the benefit of doing it, I'll stick with you."
"Less is more. Make them feel like they're engaging in it, they're using it, they're making progress, and it's fun."

Sue is joined by Meghan Dwyer, a financial planner and host of the podcast "Money Isn't Scary," to discuss why money is such a scary topic for many people, especially women.
She highlights the lack of financial education in schools and the cultural messages that women receive about their ability to handle money. Meghan shares her own experiences and struggles with money, including imposter syndrome and feelings of unworthiness. She also discusses the importance of self-reflection, self-compassion, and aligning financial decisions with personal values.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Money is often seen as a scary topic because it is not taught in schools, leaving many people feeling unprepared to handle it.
- Cultural messages, particularly for women, can contribute to a fear of money and a lack of confidence in managing it.
- Scarcity mindset can limit potential and prevent individuals from investing in themselves or taking risks in their careers or businesses.
- Developing a healthy relationship with money requires self-reflection, awareness of personal values, and working through beliefs and stories about worth and self-deserving.
BEST MOMENTS
"We're not actually taught anything about money… we don't give kids and young adults going out into the real world the right tools to feel comfortable and confident with their money."
"Women are too emotional and women are not allowed to… they don't have the rational understanding around money to be able to do this, quote unquote, the right way."
"Scarcity was absolutely holding him back from doing what he wanted to do… it took a lot of convincing somebody… when you're in that mindset, you have no idea how much it's actually holding you back."
"If we don't feel like we are good enough for ourselves, we're not going to be good enough for anybody else either, because we project that out into the world."

Sue discusses the concept of financial freedom and how it can be achieved by leveraging one's skills and passions. She shares her own journey of leaving her nine-to-five job to spend more time with her children and explores the mistakes often made when transitioning to self-employment. Sue also offers insights on how to package one's services or products to create more scalability and reduce the dependency on one-to-one work.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The goal of achieving financial freedom is to have more time and freedom to pursue passions and spend time with loved ones.
- To achieve financial freedom, it is important to package what you do in a way that allows for scalability and leverage, such as group coaching or appointing coaches and mentors.
- Consider exploring other types of investments, such as property investment, to create passive income streams that can take the pressure off your main source of income.
- Networking and connecting with like-minded individuals who have achieved or are on the same journey towards financial freedom can greatly accelerate progress and provide valuable insights and support.
BEST MOMENTS
"That level of financial freedom, it just gives you that edge to be able to do what you want."
"Learning to package what you do in a way that gives you financial freedom… You don't have to deliver every single element."
"I've realised that the property side of things is one of the goals that is going to help us with financial freedom and give me the freedom to do my passion project without the pressure of earning money."
"Networking is really important… Having that connection, starting to network and talk to other people about what they've achieved, how they're doing it, is a massive accelerator on our progress."

Sue shares a personal story about feeling overwhelmed and the challenges of balancing multiple responsibilities as an entrepreneur. She recounts a frustrating morning where even the simple task of making coffee seemed to go wrong, adding to her stress.
Sue also discusses the concept of hustle culture and the importance of rest and recharge for productivity and mental health, stressing the need for clarity on goals and avoiding distractions that can derail progress.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Rest and recharge are essential for productivity and mental health. Taking time off from work and completely disconnecting can lead to better focus and creativity.
- Avoid getting overwhelmed by distractions and shiny objects. Stay focused on your major goals and prioritize tasks that align with them.
- Clarify your three major goals in life and identify the one task that, if achieved, will make the biggest difference in your life.
- Avoid merging work and personal life. Create boundaries and detach from work during rest time to improve effectiveness and productivity.
BEST MOMENTS
"Rest, reflection, time out, complete disconnect from work, vital for effectiveness, mental and physical health, not to mention your stamina in entrepreneurial pursuits."
"Sometimes those distractions take away from our main goals, the clarity on what our goals are because you start to drift into other directions."
"What is the one right task that will make everything faster, everything easier, everything better?"
"It's knowing which ones apply to your goals and which ones are simply providing noise and filling up space."

Sue explores the challenges of staying focused and achieving deep flow work amidst distractions, focussing particularly upon the concept of flow state, where one becomes completely immersed and engrossed in a task, and how it can lead to increased productivity and enjoyment.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Flow state is a state of deep focus and immersion in a task where distractions are minimised.
- Flow state can be achieved by engaging in activities that are challenging but not too difficult, and that provide a sense of novelty and curiosity.
- Flow state is enhanced by pleasure and dopamine hits, which can be achieved through gamification and finding intrinsic motivation.
- Autonomy and pursuing one's purpose are important factors in achieving flow state.
BEST MOMENTS
"Getting into flow state allows you the release of your self-consciousness, the self-consciousness that says, I've got a problem here or I can't do this."
"Flow state is enhanced by pleasure. The more we experience the pleasure, the more we desire doing it."
"Curiosity sends you down a path that before you know it you've just binged two hours of content. You've gone into flow state because of curiosity."
"I believe that if we can just focus a little bit more on our purpose, on that mastery we're trying to build, on our curiosity, and maybe we can delve into that intrinsic motivation and get into our flow state even more."

Join me as we answer the question: 'Can you turn your passion into a profitable business?' Using a proven model we explore some examples. And whether passion is necessary for business success and I share a clear model to determine if a passion can be monetised.
Using examples of sand art and a personal trainer specialising in fitness for women's cycles, Sue explains the importance of finding the overlap between passion, skills, and market demand. Using a Venn diagram model we explore whether you can turn your passion into a profitable business.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Passion alone is not enough to create a profitable lifestyle business. While it is important to have a passion for the work you do, it is equally important to consider other factors such as skills and market demand.
The key to creating a profitable lifestyle business is finding the overlap between your passion, skills, and market demand. This can be visualized using a Venn diagram, where the middle represents the ideal niche for your business.
Market demand plays a crucial role in determining the profitability of your business. It is important to research and understand if there is a market for your passion and how you can cater to that market.
If there is limited market demand for your passion, it doesn't mean you have to give up on it completely. You can explore alternative approaches, such as selling related products or services, teaching others, or finding passive income streams to support your passion.
BEST MOMENTS
"I've definitely battled with do I need to be passionate about my business do I need to be passionate about the work I do and feel purpose and meaning to it in order to make it grow and make a success of it and be profitable."
"Is it possible to take any passion, no matter how obscure it might seem, and turn that into a profitable online business?"
"Passion, like all the things that you do."
"So there's a limited buyer market. We've got passion, we've got skills, but the market demand is really low."

I had the privilege of sitting down with my best friend Vicky, and delving deep into her remarkable journey of leaving her cozy life in the UK to embark on a new adventure in France. Where she shared her initial fears and doubts about the move, along with the overwhelming sense of loneliness and isolation she experienced in a foreign land. The bureaucratic hurdles in France didn't make things easier either.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Don't let fear hold you back: Despite feeling scared and uncertain, Victoria took the leap and moved to France. She encourages others to push past their fears and pursue their dreams.
- Seek support and ask for help: Victoria initially struggled with asking for help and felt like a failure for not understanding the bureaucracy. However, she learned the importance of reaching out for assistance and found that people were willing to offer support.
- Embrace change and adapt: Moving to a new country and starting a business brought many challenges for Victoria. However, she learned to adapt and make the most of her situation, even during the pandemic. She reframed her mindset and found ways to appreciate her new life.
- Value relationships and community: Throughout her journey, Victoria realised the importance of family, friends, and building a supportive community. She found comfort and strength in connecting with others, both in France and back in the UK.
- Live life to the fullest: Victoria's ultimate message is to seize opportunities and make the most of life. She encourages others to pursue their dreams, no matter how big or small, and to avoid regrets by taking action and enjoying every moment.
BEST MOMENTS"I think it was ever going to happen… I just thought this is something he's got this idea in his head… it'll run its course… but it didn't.""I think it's just the experience… life's too short… grab it if you can do it… just do it because I've… spoken to friends, family… that have wished they'd done something… and regret it.""I'm the biggest wimp… if I can do it, anybody can… if there is a little dream… just do it because you don't want to get to that stage where you… regret it.""It's not altogether happy… there are so many life lessons… she talks about her regret, her fears… but also about how COVID… helped her to flip that into being courageous and positive about making the most of her life's opportunities.""You've got to somehow figure it out for yourself… it's just taking that leap of faith to go… I'm not perfect… I just don't know because this is completely alien to me."

In this episode of the Lifestyle Entrepreneur Show, host Sue Parker interviews Felicity Lee and Daniel Colman, who live in an off-grid house in France. They discuss the concept of off-grid living and why it is worth considering.
They also talk about the misconceptions surrounding off-grid living and provide insights into the practical aspects of generating power, collecting water, and maintaining a comfortable living environment. Additionally, they discuss their upcoming off-grid living course, which aims to empower individuals to create their own self-sufficient lifestyle.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Off-grid living is about creating autonomy and freedom, rather than completely isolating oneself from society.
Living off-grid allows individuals to have more control over their energy consumption and reduce their reliance on traditional energy companies.
France is a favorable location for off-grid living due to its liberal regulations on materials and the availability of affordable land.
Off-grid living does not mean sacrificing modern comforts. With proper research and planning, it is possible to have running water, hot water, and electricity through solar panels.
BEST MOMENTS
"We want to live autonomously but sort of cherry pick our favorite parts of society."
"If you want water hot on tap 365 days a year, it's an expensive system that you can't maintain yourself."
"We feel like we're losing all this stuff, but actually, it's liberating."
"We have no technical background in building or any of these systems whatsoever, yet now people are coming to us for guidance on how to create these same systems."
"We want to show that it's achievable and give people a taste of what that looks like."

In this episode, host Sue Parker shares her idyllic experience in the southwest region of France and encourages listeners to appreciate the beauty around them. She then delves into the topic of why people may not be buying your offer as a lifestyle entrepreneur. Sue discusses the importance of sales and marketing, even if it may feel uncomfortable or icky. She highlights the strategies used by successful entrepreneurs like Amy Porterfield and Jenna Kutcher, emphasising the need to build awareness of the problem, solutions, and trust with potential customers. Sue concludes by urging listeners to implement these strategies in their own businesses to serve and transform lives.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Sales and marketing are necessary processes for lifestyle entrepreneurs to deliver their services and transform lives. It's important to view them as a positive way to serve and add value to others.
- Building no like and trust is crucial in the sales process. Offering Q&A calls or social media messaging to engage with potential clients can help establish a personal connection and build trust.
- Educating your target audience about the awareness of their problems and potential solutions is essential. Many people may not even realise they have a problem or that your offer can provide a solution. It's important to guide them through the stages of awareness.
- Nurturing your email list is valuable, even if only a small percentage of subscribers are ready to buy. Continuously providing information, updates, and success stories can keep potential clients engaged and interested in your offers for future dates or opportunities.
- It's crucial to overcome any discomfort or ickiness associated with sales and marketing. Recognise that by selling your offer, you are ultimately helping more people and transforming more lives. Embrace the process and find ways to reframe sales and marketing in a positive light.
BEST MOMENTS
"Life is happening for us, not to us.""If you don't sell your offer, you're not helping anybody.""Let's normalise sales and marketing as a necessary process to deliver our service and transform lives.""25% of buyers are not ready to buy, so nurturing and informing them is crucial.""People need to go through the phases of awareness of the problem, solutions, and trust before making a purchase."

In this episode, Sue reflects on the challenges faced by lifestyle entrepreneurs, particularly mumpreneurs, during the school holidays. Discusses the struggle of balancing multiple goals and the constant pressure to hustle and do more. Introduces a powerful model for success, emphasising the importance of focusing on one goal that will make everything else easier. Encouraging listeners to reflect on their own goals and prioritise the one that will have the biggest impact. Exploring the concept of taking consistent steps in one direction, rather than spreading oneself too thin. Concludes by urging listeners to consider what actions they can take today that their future selves will be grateful for. Overall, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice for achieving goals and building a dream life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Focus on one goal: The transcript emphasises the importance of choosing one goal that, if achieved, would make everything else easier. By narrowing your focus and avoiding distractions, you can make significant progress towards your desired outcome.
- Avoid spreading yourself too thin: Trying to pursue multiple goals simultaneously can lead to little to no progress. Instead, concentrate your efforts on one direction and take consistent steps towards that goal. This approach allows for greater focus and increases the likelihood of success.
- Consider long-term impact: Rather than seeking immediate results, think about what actions your future self will be grateful for. Start implementing habits and practices today that will compound over time and benefit you in the future.
- Reflect on your current path: Take time to evaluate whether the path you're on aligns with your desired dream life. If necessary, make adjustments and course corrections to ensure you're heading in the right direction.
- Share and seek support: Sharing the podcast episode with someone you love can help grow the podcast and provide valuable resources for others. Additionally, reaching out to the host or seeking a coach can provide guidance and support on your journey towards achieving your goals.
BEST MOMENTS"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.""If you have more than three goals, then you have none.""If we take 20 steps in 20 different directions, then we make little to no progress.""What one goal, one goal that if you were to achieve it would make everything easier?""What is the one thing that you can do today, every day, that your future self will thank you for?"

Sue explains how modern society creates overwhelm and focuses on money as a measure of success
As Sue explains there is another way, The “New Work” philosophy is a social and economic theory that means people can live with the freedom to choose what they want to do and add value to others.

- Leave the overwhelm of the outside world to seek your inner peace and higher self
- New work philosophy is about a more minimalist approach and doing the things you want to do and the things you love.
- You can spend more time doing the things you want to and have the time to give back and learn more
- We have moved from the industrial revolution to creating a rat race
- Redefine your work-life balance and access your inner peace and higher self
BEST MOMENTS
‘We have so much on our plates but still feel we are lacking’
‘What will your life look like if you only work a few days a week?’

Felicity Lee and Daniel Colman moved to France to avoid the debt trap, embarking on a strawbale building project to create the home they wanted
They talk about their journey, why owning your time is critical and discuss why they want to empower others to take bold steps to shape their own destiny, engage in self-enquiry and refine their deepest convictions about purpose, life, earth and love
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We wanted to create a house which we had to co-exist with, and it’s grown with us over the last few years
- With this approach, you can potentially free yourself from spiralling energy costs
- Starting with nothing allowed us to build systems that grew with us
- The house has a rhythm, it needs to be lived in and it needs you to participate in it but what you get back from it is enormous
- The 90% rule means that when you can compromise on the 10% you will exponentially end up with a simpler system that serves your needs

- There are lots of moments of peace, emptiness and spaciousness throughout the day

ABOUT THE HOST
I’m a successful career mum turned entrepreneur (soon to be author..) and speaker.
I was one of a few corporate women in tech who was successful to reach a level before hitting my head firmly on the glass ceiling. All while I was constantly having to choose between my kids and my career. I was burnt out, overwhelmed and unfulfilled.
I wasn’t living, I was surviving and this outdated corporate career path wasn’t serving anyone.
I took everything I learnt about systems, data and technology and created my first online business empowering leaders through training, webinars and coaching. Before finally
accepting my calling to help others escape the outdated 9-5 and create a
business that works for their life. Leveraging mindset and technology.

ABOUT THE HOST
I’m a successful career mum turned entrepreneur (soon to be author..) and speaker.
I was one of a few corporate women in tech who was successful to reach a level before hitting my head firmly on the glass ceiling. All while I was constantly having to choose between my kids and my career. I was burnt out, overwhelmed and unfulfilled.
I wasn’t living, I was surviving and this outdated corporate career path wasn’t serving anyone.
I took everything I learnt about systems, data and technology and created my first online business empowering leaders through training, webinars and coaching. Before finally
accepting my calling to help others escape the outdated 9-5 and create a
business that works for their life. Leveraging mindset and technology.

- The brief is vital in the process, a poor brief will result in poor copy, and a good brief will result in good copy
- A good copywriter will ask the right questions
- Redrafts, corrections and working on copy are all part of the process, it’s a collaborative process

ABOUT THE GUEST
I’m Sam and I spent a long and happy period leading part of a marketing agency. As Head of Digital at a prominent UK HubSpot partner I was responsible for our entire digital offering; from ads, to tech, to strategy and content. Whilst I was there I helped businesses to grow and prosper using HubSpot and more traditional marketing methods and activities; like sharp audience-specific campaigns and great copywriting.
Hopefully I can do some of that for your business as well.
These days I’m a freelance consultant and copywriter, working with businesses to provide marketing and project direction, or just that little bit of extra help, where it’s needed.
If you need a few killer blogs writing then I’ll happily spend a day helping you out with that. If you need someone looking after the full roll out of HubSpot within your organisation then I’ll happily spend some weeks helping you out with that too.
The short of it is: as a HubSpot expert and experienced copywriter, who frequently ghost writes for some very senior people, I help businesses to get results from their inbound marketing, at a fraction of the cost of most HubSpot agencies.
