Jeanette from Money with Gospage — how to pay yourself consistently

Jeanette Gospage is a financial coach who spent 25 years working in financial markets. She set up Money with Gospage to help people and small business owners feel more in control of their money. We talk about how to pay yourself consistently, why so many women never put their prices up, whether cash under the bed is a good idea, and why everything takes longer than you expect.

“We're running businesses, we need to be competitive, but we also need to remember our value.”

Tracy from The Therapists' Coach — 10K followers, not enough clientsEP 0246:00

Chessington · Business coach for therapists and wellness practitioners

Tracy from The Therapists' Coach — 10K followers, not enough clients

Tracy Vinnicombe is a business coach for therapists and wellness practitioners, and has been a hands-on therapist herself for 21 years. Covid shut her treatment room for six months, so she rebuilt her business online. We talk about why 10K Instagram followers didn't turn into clients, using AI as an assistant rather than a replacement, a launch that didn't work, and what 20 years of ballet taught her about hearing no.

“For the first time, when I asked someone for help, I cried after. It was like a failure. Now I love asking for help.”

Jessica from Nibble & Feast — from actress to setting up a catering business

Jessica runs Nibble & Feast, a catering business providing grazing boards and grazing tables, hand-crafted and delivered across Surrey. She's been hustling since her teens (from bandanas to pesto and hummus), has never spent a penny on marketing, and still says no to freebies. We talk about the motherhood juggle, being unemployable and why she'll never write a five-year plan. Oh. And insurance. That's very important.

“I have no five year plan.”
