| 25 Jun 2024 | How to Inject More Personality In Your Business Brand with Eva Couto | 00:33:35 | |
Does your brand feel flat? Then your brand needs more of your personality. In this episode, I invited Eva Couto, a brand designer and strategist, to talk about how to make your brand feel more personal and stand out from the crowd with the right storytelling. Eva is a 26-year-old Brand Designer & Strategist born, raised and based in Porto, Portugal. She helps creative solopreneurs & badass small business owners (product or service-based) own their weird so they can take up space, stand out online and finally show their biz off to the world, secure in the knowledge that there’s nobody out there quite like them… and they've got the branding to prove it.

| 15 Nov 2022 | A No BS Chat about Online Biz, Marketing + TikTok with Copywriter Chloe Barnes | 00:57:51 | |
“The way that you speak is how you should be writing. If you focus on documenting your voice instead of writing from a blank page, you will find it so much easier to write.” Chloe Barnes aka @thewritechloe is a copywriter and personal branding strategist for bold, witty, fun brands. She helps people who are the face of their brand grow an audience of superfans, and in this episode of the podcast we decided to go on an in-depth meander through the weird, wild and wonderful world of online business and marketing. Chloe is probably the most refreshing business owner I’ve ever met, in that despite her success in both business and as a content creator (she has amassed a big ol’ following for her sharp, witty skits and advice on places like TikTok and Instagram) she doesn’t take herself or her work too seriously WHICH I LOVE. During our chat, Chloe shared a TON of interesting, thought-provoking views on the online business world and of course, tips to help freelancers and service provider navigate the muddy waters of this space without going insane in the process. Here’s a selection of what we chatted about:

| 28 Nov 2023 | People-Pleasing & Playing it Safe is Blocking You From Your Fullest Potential | 00:14:09 | |
Change is one thing that needs to happen in every business if you want to grow. However, there are many adjustments that you need to make for that growth to happen, including those little things that you may think you already stopped doing a long time ago. One of those things most people think they stopped doing from their earlier freelancer days was people-pleasing. But the truth is, most service providers have a hard time saying “no” to make clients happy no matter the cost, and the cost is often freelancer fatigue and burnout. Playing it safe is what gets most people a business running in the first place, but isn’t what will make that business scale to the next level. Listen and learn what other steps you can take to continue on your growth path to achieve a peaceful and successful business.

How comfortable are you with doing your accounts? My guest on the show this week is the fabulous Mary O’Brien, a qualified UK accountant who specialises in helping small businesses and self employed people feel empowered by their numbers instead of intimated.

Mary is also a lecturer and teacher, and this experience comes through when working with her accountancy clients. Uniquely, Mary isn’t an accountant who takes on clients who are looking to hand off their entire financial portfolio to her and focuses on education, reassurance and empowerment. Mary and I had a detailed chat about the nitty gritty elements of business finance, including: 💲How and when to register as self employed ✨When you need to hire an accountant (and when you don’t) 💲Your tax-free allowance in the UK ✨What a trading allowance is and how it works 💲The importance of getting a contract with payment terms in place ✨How to format an invoice 💲How to manage payment terms so you get paid on time ✨What payment terms to use for your business/products 💲How to get paid at the end of projects ✨IR35: what is it and what you need to know 💲Payment on account – what this means and how it works ✨HMRC Time to Pay + your options for paying tax in instalments 💲Allowable and reasonable expenses in your business ✨Business bank accounts 💲Pensions

| 17 May 2022 | Frankly Freelance: How to Work with Chronic Fatigue with Franky Shanahan | 00:55:01 | |
In this month’s Frankly Freelance episode I’m joined by experienced freelance copywriter and digital content creator Franky Shanahan who was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in 2016. Franky, also known as Love Audrey – her business name and long-time online moniker – creates beautiful, persuasive copy for clients as well as coaching them on how to create their own. For over ten years, Franky has written everything from brochures to blog posts and PR pitches to product packaging. As well as being a long-time fan of Franky’s artfully composed and lovingly written Instagram Stories, I really wanted to speak to her about how she dealt with learning to live with a disability – both to raise awareness of the condition and spotlight someone who I believe does a fantastic job at weaving her reality into the way she runs her business. We chatted in-depth about: ✹ Franky’s journey as a freelancer ✹ Raising small children around a freelance business ✹ Parenting and mother guilt ✹ Franky’s life-changing hospital visit and CFS diagnosis ✹ Navigating clients and deadlines with a chronic illness ✹ Managing energy levels and limitations day-to-day ✹ How Instagram Stories has helped Franky show up consistently for over 5 years Follow Franky Shanahan on instagram @loveaudrey83 Visit Franky’s website at http://www.love-audrey.com/ FOLLOW ME ON SOCIALS :: JOIN MY LIST Sign up for my weekly email series, Peaceful Service Pro – the no-BS guide to making more £££ in business on a chilled AF schedule. :: WORK WITH ME Offer Suite Oracle VIP Intensive :: Follow + Connect with Me https://www.instagram.com/ceels.lockley/ https://www.threads.net/@ceels.lockley :: Free Masterclass Learn more about the different types of offers and map out your offer ecosystem: https://ceelslockley.co/the-line-up :: Join my Community Sign up to my free monthly events for service pros, Sisters of Service: https://ceels-lockley.myflodesk.com/sisters-of-service :: Work with me Join my group program for service providers who want to design a profitable offer suite over 6 months: https://ceelslockley.co/dreamium Create an industry-leading offer ecosystem with me 1:1: | |||

| 24 May 2022 | 4 Steps to Creating More Accountability in Your Business | 00:19:32 | |
Do you struggle to work ON your business because you’re working heavily IN your business, i.e. devoting all your time and energy to client work? In this episode I’m here to walk you through the ways in which you can stop putting your own business to the bottom of the list and start creating progress on your goals one step at a time. Accountability for your personal and business growth is, I believe, just as important as having a website, a social media presence and even a decent laptop! Without accountability we can end up boarding the busy bus every day and forgetting the very reason why we went freelance in the first place – to create space, freedom and time to do the things that bring us joy. In this episode I share 4 ways that you can start creating more accountability in your business, including: ✹ What accountability is and my philosophy on how this should work for you ✹ Whom and what you’re going to need to help you stay accountable ✹ The importance of verbalising your goals ✹ Why visualising your goals is a powerful step to achieving them Loved this episode?

Let me take you behind the scenes of Fiercely Freelance in 2022. In this final episode of the podcast for the year, I share a frank account of my year, reviewing and reflecting on my business journey including the lessons and the wins along the way. 2022 was very much a year of two halves – in January my main client gave notice on our retainer and I spent the first half of the year scrabbling about for cash. By July, I’d taken on some part-time work to get my business back in the black, and since, have started to book more and more clients! I’m finishing the year feeling extremely happy for everything that the year taught me, and confident in the knowledge that I’m exactly where I need to be (and want to be) going into 2023.

| 12 Oct 2021 | The Fearlessly Freelance Philosophy + Mission | 00:13:51 | |
In this first episode of Fearlessly Freelance, I’m here to share my on-the-ground mission behind the podcast together with my ‘why’ in creating a dedicated community for freelance women. Discover what to expect from the podcast each week from both myself and guest experts, and learn how the Fearlessly Freelance movement can help support and guide you on your freelance journey. Fearlessly Freelance began as a simple podcast name and concept earlier in 2021, but has since grown quickly into a community and a movement for freelance women looking for connection, support and advice on their freelance journey. Having spent the last 20 years in marketing including mentoring freelancers informally for many years, I’ve always thought about creating a dedicated education platform for freelance women specifically. I finally realised that dream this year and launched Fearlessly Freelance as a brand and community in September 2021 with the podcast following in quick succession in October 2021. As well as my podcast and our online community, Fearlessly Freelance also strives to be a movement for freelance women. In a space where there are a lot of free resources and tips, my mission is to create a no BS space that brings women together so that they feel seen, heard and understood. A fearless freelancer is someone who is tired of feeling average: maybe you’re looking to create something extraordinary but you need strategy, support and inspiration. Fearlessly Freelance is here to hold space for women at whatever stage of freelance business they are at. This podcast aims to have the conversations that freelance women need to hear, celebrating women via three core values. Firstly, confidence – creating opportunities to help you to feel more confident in business by providing resources and systems that nurture you through the sometimes difficult process of building confidence. Secondly, Fearlessly Freelance is here to celebrate your uniqueness – helping you set your own rules, to be as individual as you like so you can stay in your own lane and avoid comparisonitis. And thirdly, to help you feel good about yourself by championing your authentic self by helping you share your voice, protect your boundaries and create a business and life that feels great. If you feel called to be part of our Fearlessly Freelance community, we would love for you to get involved – tell us what you want to hear on this podcast so we can have the conversations you want to hear.

| 05 Mar 2024 | 18 Months, £40K Revenue and 50+ Clients: Developing My Signature Offer Taught me THIS about Offer Strategy | 00:30:38 | |
Are you thinking of developing your signature offer or have already started? Then you’ll be interested in listening to my takeaways from developing my signature offer, especially if you want to increase your client list and revenue while having an offer that makes sense for your business. Creating a signature offer from scratch takes A LONG time and it is a process that never stops, even when you think you’re done. Signature offers have to evolve alongside the business and improve to reflect the changes in both, such as new models, tools, or processes, and, of course, new prices. While you listen to the episode and enjoy my hottest tips for a signature offer based on my personal experience in developing one, get ready for your pricing reckoning with my new pricing course, Rates Recharged – the doors are open now: https://www.ceelslockley.co/rates-recharged Thank you to our sponsors of this episode, Harriet Evans OBM – an operations agency specialising in streamlining systems and processes for service providers.
