Part two of getting what you want with integrity. Emotions and frustrations run high as we dig into a recent scenario that highlight beautifully what gets in the way of acting with integrity and what trips us up when we're trying to get a good outcome. In this conversation we walk through some of the signposts that tell us we or others might be acting out of integrity. We explore how we manage maintaining equitable power balances and how the landscape changes when we're dealing with toxic relationships. It's a juicy one folks and as ever if you like please do rate, review and share away. Haven't yet caught up with us on instagram? come say hi @styleandsubstance_podcast

How to Get What you Want with Integrity - Part Two

Getting what we want in business isn't always easy and dealing with unreasonable demands isn't a walk in the park either. In this two part mini series we tackle all of that and more as we explore in depth and build aa model of how to get what we want with integrity. Let's get stuck in.

How to Get What you Want with Integrity

Let's be real. None of us have limitless budgets that allow us to do&nbsp;everything&nbsp;we'd like on our brand: we all have to make choices. But we do think there is a big difference between a bootstrapping&nbsp;mentality&nbsp;(saving money at all costs and compromising on quality as you go) and the&nbsp;reality&nbsp;of bootstrapping your brand (making smart choices that will move your brand forwards, however tight your budget).&nbsp;We dig into all of this and more in today's episode where Fi is sharing a wealth of advice and practical tips on where to invest, where to save and how to create the&nbsp;strongest&nbsp;impression with your brand whatever your budget. This is going to be one to bookmark and share and we are so excited to share it with you! Fi's brilliant and free "Where to start" course that we mention can be found here: https://thebrandstylist.thinkific.com/courses/creating-your-brand-course. Essential viewing if you are creating a brand from scratch, rebranding or wanting to make sure you are squeezing the potential out of your brand.

An International Womens Day Special

International Womens Day is coming up this week so it feels timely to explore this topic of Claiming Our Rightful Place as Women in Business and what we can do to step fully and confidently into our authority. We talk about the superpowers we uniquely have as women in business what might hinder our ability to take our rightful place and leave you with some profound words of wisdom from a much loved English treasure. Apologies for the slightly less than perfect audio quality in the first couple of minutes of the intro, we've sorted it for the main part of the episode so hopefully it won't deter anyone from listening on, and we really hope you enjoy the conversation.

International Women's Day - Call For Submissions

Creativity is the lifeblood of both of our businesses and we have both experienced the game changing impact for ourselves and our clients when we really feel the strong sense of identity as a creative in our bones. When you can really own your creativity and it is woven through the fabric of your life and work it is transformative and not just for the jobbing artists amongst us. For every business owner serious about having the edge and working in a joyful and empowering way, creativity is a skill to hone and a way of being that we both feel should take centre stage. In this episode we walk through how to embed a strong sense of creative identity and how it shapes our thinking, our relationships and the innovation possible with our businesses. Enjoy!

Why Owning your Creative Identity is a Business Imperative...and How To Do It

These days you can barely move for someone promising you a '7 figure income' while you sleep. But is it really the panacea it promises to be? Passive income is something so many ambitious entrepreneurs are chasing, but what does it really take? We are about to get deep, opinionated and personal in this episode where we explore Fi's passive income success story that paid the mortgage. How the pursuit of passive income shifts your experience of what it's like to run your business, the unseen effort that goes into 'passive' streams and more.We hope you enjoy the episode and if you do please like subscribe and share - thank you. In the opening of the episode I make a shameless plug for Jo McAndrews work. if you'd like to find out more about her her online course "The Magic of Warm Listening" you can find it here https://www.jomcandrews.com/warm-listening-online-course
