"I need to add more to justify my price."Sound familiar? 🙋‍♀️In this episode, we're talking about the one thing that's making your offer worse... and it's probably something you're doing with the best intentions.What we cover:When that Wanky Thought whispers "you're not good enough, nobody will pay that much, you don't know enough", what do we do? We pile it on. More videos. More calls. More workbooks. More modules. More, more, more.But here's the thing. Your clients don't want more. They want the result. And in a world where everyone is overwhelmed, overstimulated, and already drowning in tabs they haven't opened since 2023... less is genuinely what sells.We dig into:Why bulking out your offer is a fear response, not a value addHow to audit your course, programme or 1-2-1 offer and strip it backWhy doing less often gets better results for you AND your clientsStop adding content to justify your price. Start delivering the result in the simplest, clearest way possible. That's what people pay for. That's what gets them results. And that's what gets you the testimonials that actually sell.GET IN TOUCH Message me at [email protected] Follow me on Instagram Connect with me on LinkedIn Watch this podcast on YouTube

In an AI age, being visible ain't an option... unless you wanna end up broke working in Greggs.If you want paying clients, you have to build trust, which means showing up, showing your face and talking on camera.Now whilst that might send shivers down your spine, you are forgiven for having this fear.Your dislike of videos or any sort of public speaking for that matter isn't your fault. Society's done a real number on you.You've been charged a "don't-be-too-much" tax your whole life. School, magazines, parents, society... all drip-feeding the same message: shrink, stay quiet, don't show off. No wonder showing up on camera feels terrifying. It's not weakness. It's decades of conditioning. And once you see it for what it is, you can start undoing it.In this episode, I'm joined by brand photographer and visibility strategist Abi Moore, and we are getting into it. We're talking about why so many brilliant women are hiding online, why selling feels icky when it really doesn't have to, and why the thing standing between you and your next client probably isn't your skills... it's your silence.Here's what we cover:🧠 Why your fear of showing up isn't a personality flaw... it's a billing errorYou didn't arrive at this fear on your own. It was built into you. And understanding that is the first step to undoing it.🎯 Why trying to appeal to everyone is killing your chancesYou are not a beige wall. Niche down, speak directly, and the right people will find you already half sold before they've even said hello.📹 Why done beats perfect... every single timeAccept it'll go wrong. Expect to forget your words. Do it anyway. Imperfect visibility beats perfect silence. Nobody didn't hire you because your hair was a bit flat.If you've been telling yourself you'll start showing up properly once everything's a bit more polished, a bit more ready, a bit more whatever... this episode is your sign to stop waiting.Go find Abi:📸 Instagram: @abbymooreuk💼 LinkedIn: Abby Moore BrandingGET IN TOUCH Message me at [email protected] Follow me on Instagram Connect with me on LinkedIn Watch this podcast on YouTube

Stop Blaming the AlgorithmIs the algorithm really the problem… or is it just the perfect excuse to stay invisible?Welcome to another episode of The Wanky Thoughts Podcast! Today I'm getting stuck into something I've been hearing so much lately everyone moaning about the algorithm. LinkedIn hates me. Instagram's got it in for me. Nobody's seeing my posts. Sound familiar?I'll be honest, the glory days where you put a post out and the whole world saw it are over  and I get why. But if you're scaling your business and you're terrified to be visible, you don't know what to say, or you're convinced that selling makes you sound pushy and salesy… the algorithm isn't actually your problem. I'm calling it out in this one.Tune in if you're ready to stop hiding behind the algorithm excuse and finally show up.GET IN TOUCH Message me at [email protected] Follow me on Instagram Connect with me on LinkedIn Watch this podcast on YouTube

You've studied the strategies. Followed the formulas. Done everything the "experts" told you to do.And yet the sales aren't coming. The visibility feels forced. And somewhere deep down, you're starting to wonder if you're the problem.You're not.The rule book is.In this episode, I'm sharing the story of a client who was doing all the "right" things and it was quietly costing her sales. GET IN TOUCH Message me at [email protected] Follow me on Instagram Connect with me on LinkedIn Watch this podcast on YouTube

I  swapped the car for her kitchen this week, and even blow-dried my hair because this week, I've got a guest! I met Vanessa Jennings at a networking event a couple of weeks ago and honestly, I could have talked to her all day.Vanessa is a brand strategist who helps people stop sounding like everyone else. She's also a Kiwi who moved to the UK at 22, a mum, a former fashion industry lifer, and someone who took five... five — redundancies before finally saying "right, I'm doing this for myself."In this episode, we get into all of it. Why it takes us so bloody long to leave jobs we hate. The "salary handcuffs" (and how I survived on plain pasta with tuna as a weekend treat). What actually happens when you launch something and nobody buys it. Why being told "you just don't want it enough" by a coach is one of the most awful things you can hear and why it's also nonsense.We also talk about AI-generated content (Vanessa is not holding back), why trying to look professional online can completely kill your business, and how the best thing I ever did was just prat about in my kitchen making videos with no plan whatsoever.If you've ever had a bad month and immediately gone back on LinkedIn to look for a job, this one's for you.Find Vanessa: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vanessaeves/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vanessa-eve-jennings/Website: https://vanessaeves.com/GET IN TOUCH Message me at [email protected] Follow me on Instagram Connect with me on LinkedIn Watch this podcast on YouTube

Ever felt like your brain is working against you the moment you step up to speak?I am literally recording this from the car on the way home from a networking event where I've just delivered a talk. And yes, my heart was pounding, my hands were jittery, and that wanky voice in my head was having an absolute field day.Because here's the thing, I teach this stuff, and I still get nervous. And for a long time I thought that meant something was wrong with me. It doesn't. And in this episode I'm going to tell you exactly why.I'm talking about why public speaking scares the living daylights out of most people, why your brain is literally wired to keep you small and quiet, and the exact technique I used today mid talk, to shut that inner critic up and get into my flow.Because true confidence isn't about never feeling scared. It's about knowing what to do when that voice pipes up and tells you you're not good enough.If you've ever stood up to speak and felt like your brain was working against you, this one's for you.And if you want to start tackling those wanky thoughts for good, come and find out more about the Wanky Thoughts Club.
