You've read the success stories and seen those who seemed to have "overnight success."

Have you ever wondered what separated those success stories from everyone else? Or what separated those at the top from those who were on the struggle bus for years? (No shame here, I was totally on that bus for years.)

But the truth is, there are certain things that successful business owners do differently.

So today, join me on the podcast as we dive in! We'll talk about:
↠ 7 of the key things that successful business owners do differently from everyone else
↠ how the versions of success may vary, but the concepts and action steps are the same
↠ how to use failure to make your business, not break your business
↠ why who is in the room matters, and how you can use it to propel you forward

Each of these can be implemented into your own life and business, and you'd be surprised how quickly you can grow by incorporating them. Which one stood out to you most?

It's a term that's thrown around a lot, and one that can impact more than just your business.

It can also make it difficult to find any motivation to do anything in your business.

On this episode, we talk about:
↠ What burnout is (and how you can avoid it)
↠ What causes burnout to happen in the first place

Have you ever been sued?

Unfortunately, I have, and let me tell you… that is not a club that anyone wants to be a part of. It has caused an immeasurable amount of stress and cost me thousands of dollars in legal fees.

However, this experience has also taught me some incredibly valuable lessons. So in this episode of Scale the F*ck Up, I’m sharing what I am going through so that you can learn from some of my mistakes and then put things in place to hopefully protect yourself.

Does the day to day structure of your life or business truly light you up?
Or are you feeling stuck or unfulfilled?

It can be so easy to get on autopilot going towards something that society tells us to want or do. Or maybe you previously wanted it, but it’s no longer aligned.

Time moves quickly, and before we know it, weeks, months, or even years have just zoomed past.

So are you genuinely building the life or business that you truly want and moving forward in a way that actually supports your goals?

In episode 13 of Scale the F*ck Up, we’re diving into life audits and how they can help your business.

We talk about:
↠ Getting clear on what YOU actually want
↠ Building a life by design instead of by default
↠ How a life audit can help you up-level your life and also your business
↠ A step by step guide for utilising this powerful tool

Life audits are a great way to analyse all areas of your life instead of just thinking about business strategy.  They can help you figure out how the next stage of your life should look and to intentionally create the life that you desire.

Who doesn’t love a good goal-setting chat?

I know I do.

However, there is often a disconnect in the talking about, the planning, or the setting of goals with the follow through to make them happen. And we want to be able to move forward with our plan and take action so that our goals actually happen.

So in episode 12 of Scale the F*ck Up, we’re diving all into the one game changing thing that will help you reach your goals.

We talk about:
↠ Working ON your business not just IN your business
↠ Making sure you’re on the path YOU want for your business and your life
↠ The #1 thing you need to start doing NOW
↠ Four key assessments that can help you map out your next steps so that you can take action
↠ Living a life by design, not one by default

This is geared primarily for business, but as we know, our personal life impacts our business. So the vast majority of these takeaways, tips, and tactics can be applied across the board to your personal life, your relationships, your health goals, and of course, your business.

What was your biggest takeaway? I’d love to hear from you!

What happens when you feel stuck, unmotivated, or unfulfilled in your business?
 
This can be referred to as "losing your spark." This can happen for a number of reasons and is actually really typical for business owners of all levels - those starting out to those really well-established to those who have scaled to that multi-6 and 7-figure mark.
 
While this is not uncommon, it’s obviously something that you need to address so that you don’t wind up wanting to burn your business to the ground or just continue doing something that isn’t fulfilling you.
 
In episode 11 we’re exploring 6 strategies to move forward when you lose your spark so that you can do things you actually enjoy and things that bring you fulfillment.
 
We talk about:
↠ The difference between burnout and losing your spark
↠ 4 reasons why business owners can lose their spark
↠ How you can start taking steps to shift in a new direction
↠ 6 things you can do to reignite your spark
↠ How these points can be applied to your personal life as well as your business
 
Just know that if you have lost your spark in your business, this is totally normal and it’s totally something that you have the power to control and shift that. Tune in to the full episode to learn more. 

There are a plethora of reasons why people start their own businesses. Time freedom, financial freedom, the ability to travel the world, the opportunity to spend more time with your family, not having to answer to some shitty boss, being able to dictate how you live your life and not being chained to a desk.
 
But so many times I see entrepreneurs who end up trading their 9-5 for working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in their business.
 
Episode 10 of Scale the F*ck Up is all about how you can put things in place to not do that. And if you have in fact traded your 9-5 for a 24/7, we’ll talk about how you can start to take your time back without sacrificing your revenue.
 
We discuss:
↠ The two main reasons you may be working 24/7
↠ A common misconception around the business building journey
↠ The Pareto principle
↠ Why hustling all the time isn’t serving your or your business
↠ Ten key shifts to stop working 24/7
 
No matter where you are at in your journey right now, if you are working all the time or even more than you’d like, this episode is for you. Tune in to the full episode to learn more.

We read books that tell us how to hire so we can increase our profits. We hear podcasts that suggest that we outsource so we can enjoy working less while making more. We learn from mainstream gurus that looking to developing nations is THE answer.

But at what cost?

Today we’re chatting about something that is a little bit different than our normal topics. In this episode of Scale the F*ck Up, we’re exploring ethics and social responsibility in business and discussing why being awful doesn’t grow your business.

We talk about:
↠ Not exploiting those who support you
↠ Five big ways being awful impacts your bottom line
↠ What to do if you can’t afford to pay your team a fair wage
↠ Why ethics matters in your business

This is such an important topic and something that isn’t really talked about. Tune in to the full episode to learn more.

Have you ever felt like things were falling apart around you? Maybe you experienced a significant life change or event that you had no control over or things that just didn’t go as planned. Maybe you just picked up a cold, or your babysitter went on vacation. In these instances, life takes priority, and there just may not be enough time or brain space left to fully focus on your business.

As much as we would love to have super smooth sailing 24/7, the reality is that life happens to us all. It’s not a question of if one of these things will happen. It’s a question of when.

In these difficult seasons of life, it can be easy to let business fall by the wayside. After all, if you’re struggling to keep your own head above water, you’re probably not in that stage of enlightenment or hitting peak creativity that you can use for your business. And you may also just find it hard to show up for your business.

Now obviously letting your business fall by the wayside is not ideal. So that begs the question - how in the world do you keep maintaining business momentum even when life happens? That’s exactly what we’re diving into today.

We talk about:
↠ Why maintaining momentum is essential
↠ Knowing how much capacity you realistically have when shit hits the fan
↠ Four important strategies you need to implement before “life happens”
↠ How to prioritise your focus when you don’t have much to give

Wanna learn more about how you can get your business “life ready” so that you can maintain that momentum even when shit happens? Tune in to the full episode now.

If you’re a woman in business, you’re probably familiar with the phrase “it’s lonely at the top.” Often that means that successful and higher-up the ladder people (like CEOs) tend to have fewer friends or people to turn to, and they can experience a sense of loneliness the higher they rise.

So what does that mean for you as you scale your business to 7 figures?

In today’s episode of the Scale the F*ck Up Podcast we’re actually busting the myth that it's lonely at the top.

We talk about:
↠ The reasons why this sentiment exists
↠ Key areas to shift your focus so it doesn’t have to be true
↠ How to surround yourself with the right people
↠ Why you should empower your team
↠ Two essential areas to prioritize while you’re building your empire

If this is something you are struggling with, I would love to invite you to join my Mastermind. It focuses on helping you streamline and simplify in order to scale, but at the heart of it, it’s about surrounding yourself with other women who get it.

If you’re feeling lonely at the top in your business, I promise you we all go through it. But there is hope on the other side. You don’t have to go at it alone.

Welcome to episode 6 of the Scale the F*ck Up Podcast, the podcast specifically designed to help show you a real-life, behind-the-scenes look at what it actually takes to scale to 7 figures. Whether you are teetering around the edges of 6 figures, you’ve already busted through to multiple 6 figures, or you’re dancing on the edge of 7, this podcast has strategies and takeaways designed to support you.
 
I’m sure you’ve heard the expression "failing to plan is planning to fail". Over the years I’ve seen firsthand how instrumental planning can actually be. Be it in your life or your business, I’ve seen how impactful it has been for my clients, especially as they grow and scale.
 
December and January are fun times to look back on the previous year and plan for the year ahead. But statistics show that two-thirds of people abandon their New Year’s resolutions within a month. So what about the other 10 months out of the year? And how can you actually achieve the goals you set for yourself and your business? 
 
In this episode we’re diving into the biggest overlooked strategy to set yourself up to scale. 
 
We talk about:
↠ The best time to set your goals
↠ How to plan for success
↠ Cutting down on decision-fatigue  
↠ Quarterly North Stars
↠ The key planning strategy you may be missing
 
If you’re struggling with trying to prioritise what you should be tackling next, but you’re stuck and there is just too much happening, pop me a message. We can chat about a couple of simple shifts you can make to take things off of your plate (instead of adding more onto it) that can support and set you up to scale. 🔥
 
Thank you so much for tuning in, and I’ll see you next week!

A lot of my clients come to me when they are sick of holding all of the pieces of everything.  Often, they are at a certain income ceiling, and they can’t move past it because they are at capacity, or they are just burned out.
 
Something that I get questions about all the time is bringing on a team. When is the right time to hire a team? What is the best way to hire a team or team members, and what does that process actually look like?
 
When you are busting at the seams with too much work and there is just too much on your list, it can be a really sexy idea to hire someone else to shift it off of your plate and onto theirs. So in today’s episode of Scale the F*ck Up, we’re chatting all about when to hire a team to have the biggest growth opportunities in your business.
 
We talk about:
↠ The 2 main reasons why your support team isn’t working well for you (or didn’t work out in the past)
↠ The big questions you need to ask BEFORE you hire support
↠ Sneaky pitfalls to avoid when hiring
↠ How (and where) to find the right fit for your business
↠ The 3 main goals for building your team
 
If you are at that point in your business where you’re so busy you’re turning away work, you’re burning out, you haven’t taken a vacation in God knows how long, things are falling through the cracks, and you literally just can’t hold it all, pop me a message. I help business owners just like you simplify, strategise, and streamline in order to scale. 🔥
 
Thank you so much for being here, and I’ll see you next week!

Welcome to episode 4 of the Scale the F*ck Up Podcast – the podcast designed to help show you a real-life, behind-the-scenes look at what it actually takes to scale to 7 figures. In this episode, we’re chatting all about the secret weapon behind my 7-figure clients.

There’s a lot that goes into growing a business. There are a lot of trials and errors and growing pains and figuring things out as you go. Every single business is different, and every single business owner is different. Some of the learning curves and challenges you face will be different than what other business owners face. However, there is one thing that every single one of my 7-figure clients have that has allowed them to scale- their “secret weapon”, if you will.

We talk about:
↠ Overcoming the conditioning that many women face
↠ Balancing your business and personal life
↠ The secret weapon that is a total game-changer
↠ Finding the right support for your needs

If you’re ready to get off the hamster wheel of being burnt out and overwhelmed so that you can actually scale with ease, then this episode is for you. Tune in to the full episode to learn more!

Welcome to episode 3 of the Scale the F*ck Up Podcast. Today we are talking about the number one overlooked strategy for scaling.

You’ve probably heard a lot of noise in the online space about the importance of growth and client acquisition. There are all kinds of ways that you can work with and serve your clients, but traditionally speaking, you need more clients in order to grow your revenue, and subsequently, grow your business. And there are so many ways that you can get in front of your ideal audience and convert clients, which is an essential part of growing your business.

There is so much talk about getting more clients, but there is one key strategy for actually scaling that is often overlooked. And it doesn’t focus on client acquisition.

In this episode we talk about:
↠ The untapped asset for your business
↠ Thinking about your client experience (with two real-life examples and comparisons)
↠ 3 ways you can shift your focus so that you can scale your business with ease
↠ The strategy that is the most cost-effective (and typically the easiest!)
↠ Prioritising client results

You’d be surprised at how many businesses focus on just getting clients through the door but overlook this important strategy to scale your business.

Welcome to Episode 2 of the Scale the F*ck Up Podcast. Today we’re chatting all about the systems you need to support your scale, and I dive into the 3 systems my 7-figure clients are using.
 
If you’re serious about scaling your business, you need to become besties with systems.

When they are used properly, efficient systems can help you improve your client experience, reduce costs, increase revenue, free up your time, increase productivity, and support you to grow your business literally while you sleep. Seriously systems are amazing!
 
We talk about:
↠ Why simpler is better when it comes to scaling
↠ How to easily organise projects, track deadlines, and support your team collaboration
↠ Managing client relationships in one place and harnessing the power of automation
↠ The best way to communicate with your team and clients
↠ How implementing even one of these systems can free up time and support your business and clients in so many ways
 
When you’re able to get these systems up-and-running and really utilize them to their max, you will have more time, your clients will have better experiences, your team will be more organised, you will free up other resources in the business, and you can actually start to scale. 🔥

Welcome to Episode 1 of the Scale the F*ck Up podcast! If you don’t know me, I’m Rhiannon. I’m a business strategist for multi-6 and 7 figure entrepreneurs, and I have been supporting women to grow and scale businesses that light them up - not burn them out - since 2014. Thank you so much for being here!

For close to a decade, I have had the privilege to support countless clients. I’ve been able to see a lot of things that really work and help to grow a business to 6, multi 6, and 7 figures. And I’ve also seen a lot of things that don’t.

You have probably heard before that what got you to 6 figures won’t get you to 7, and that is definitely true. In this episode we talk about the number one thing keeping you stuck from hitting 7 figures.

We discuss:
↠ Finding the bottleneck in your business
↠ Areas of a business that can cause delays
↠ Identifying the things that are eating up your time
↠ The importance of having a solid support team
↠ How you can get unstuck so that you can scale

Once you identify the bottleneck in your business and follow these steps to get unstuck, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you can actually scale and start to hit that multi-6 and 7 figure mark. 🔥
