How much time are you wasting on jobs you hate? And what could change if you actually let someone give you a hand?In this bite-sized episode, I dive into the real ROI of investing in support, whether that’s a VA, a community, or simply giving yourself permission to stop doing it all alone. Getting help isn’t a cost, it’s a catalyst.Here’s what you’ll hear:Spotting and ditching your “admin drains”How confidence grows when you stop working in a bubbleWhy my Monday group is still the best-value support aroundA short meditation on receiving help without guilt👉 If you’re ready to work out where support could make the biggest difference, book a Focus Call with me @geraldineheadley.com and let’s nut it out together.

Truth is, your clients don’t want perfect, they just want you.In this episode I’m chatting about how to find your natural voice so your posts feel real and why that’s exactly what your clients are looking for.We’ll cover why showing up as yourself builds more trust than copying anyone else, and how simple touches of your space and personality help clients feel at ease. You’ll also learn why teaching first (and selling second) works best, plus easy ways to reuse content without reinventing the wheel.This week’s challenge: Share one story or tip that shows your personality and expertise.

“I can’t charge that” or “I shouldn’t profit from this”.That’s a money block talking.
