Today I’m chatting to Anna Neville of Kindslingo, Solopreneur Award Winner 2024.

We chat about Anna’s background and business journey and how she started her business providing language services for children.

We also chat about how Anna grew her business, how she investigated growth models and franchised it in 2013. Anna now has over 80 franchisees. Franchising is a very common model in the children’s sector.

We chat about how important it is to learn languages from a young age, so much easier than when we’re adults. It’s now more common for languages to be taught in early years curriculum in nursery school

Anna was a deserving Award winner.

Here are the Judges words:

“The true embodiment of a ‘solopreneur’ – with a drive for passion and understanding in her franchisee relationships, you could see the joy and sense of purpose Anna gets from her work. The magnitude of setting up a franchise business of this scale should not be underestimated. She deserves every success on her continued journey..”

Today I’m chatting to Julie Hughes of Hughes Probate Services, Solopreneur Award Winner 2024.

We chat about Julie’s journey into law and how she started her business providing probate services. We also chat about the difficult subject of death and how to make things easier for those we leave behind.

Julie works with bereaved families at one of the most difficult and sensitive times and supports them through the Probate process, plus a whole lot more. In fact, it’s spurred her on to start another business to support people during the loss of a loved one, bringing together all the services you may need.

Julie blew the Judges away in her interview for the Solopreneur Awards. In fact, these are their words:

“Although ‘death is her passion’, the judges weren’t afraid to name Julie a clear winner. Her courage, determination, humour, and work ethic helped her stand out. Julie’s skills and self-confidence make her business successful while helping deliver practical guidance with a human touch.”

Today is the follow up to last week’s episode #132 ‘The Risks Associated with Brand & Reputation’

This week I’m sharing my 10 top tips to ELEVATE your brand and reputation including some of my own examples.

It takes a lot of work to build a brand and enhance your reputation. However, by following these tips, you’re on to a winner.

You’ll hear me talking about storytelling, consistency, and engagement as well as collaborating with others (including my 100 collaborators list) and celebrating your achievements, my mantra. I also chat about being visible and nurturing your reputation.

You may have seen my blooper video, I don’t always get it right but I was happy to share the outtakes as it really showed the fun element of my brand as well as my attempts to be professional (check out the link below).

Finally, I remind you that ‘No’ is a full sentence and how to say ‘No’ if something isn’t aligned with your brand, to ensure that you don’t damage your reputation.

Chatting about energy with Charlotte Carter

Today I’m chatting to Charlotte Carter of I Dare to Leap, a global high performance coach.

We are chatting all about energy and energetics.

Charlotte has always had a real passion for helping people and shares her story, and how she started her business after working in the mental health space.

Charlotte says… “Your journey is by far your biggest guide”

I love how Charlotte refers to ‘energy drains’ and ‘energy radiators’. This is a fantastic conversation and I highly recommend you have a listen.
