The Honest Truth About £100K Months (And Why They’re Easier Than You Think)

If talking about £100K months makes you feel uncomfortable, triggered, or like it’s “for other people,” this episode will shift everything. Dawn breaks down why scaling to £100K months is far more achievable than most founders believe and why the real barriers aren’t strategy, the market, or the economy… they’re mindset, conditioning, and business models that were never built to scale.

5 Ways to Boost Brand Awareness on Social Media

In this week’s episode, we're going to focus on one of the most important things in business, which is how to boost your brand awareness on social media. I'm often asked, “how did I grow my network on LinkedIn into the tens of thousands?” On LinkedIn, I have 30,000 direct connections and the same in followers. I didn't grow that audience overnight, it didn't just happen. I've been using LinkedIn since it first started way back in 2002, even before Facebook, which arrived in 2004. LinkedIn is often the one that we misunderstand and is not leveraged to its biggest value.

How to Start Your Own Podcast

In this week’s episode, we're going to talk about how to start your own podcast. Now, I think when I first started out I definitely felt like a podcast was something that was on my agenda, but it definitely wasn't at the forefront of my mind. I knew that a podcast would bring amazing value to my business and in turn, probably drive some revenue, but it wasn't going to be a quick win. I really enjoy doing it, talking about all of my passions and providing value and tips and insights and trends and tools. I love the feedback that we get from it, but it is a slow burn. It's not something that started and changed my world literally the day it launched.

Four Steps to Stepping Into Your Self Worth

In this week’s episode, I'm going to be talking to you about stepping into your self-worth which is something that I have to work on constantly.

What do we need to do to really find self-acceptance, the whole understanding of what we are worth as an individual? I think we get so used to trudging on through life that we don't stop and think about, "Are we actually operating and performing and giving ourselves the rewards that we actually deserve?"

How to Take Back Control of Your Business

In this week’s episode, we're going to look at how to take back control of your business. It sounds weird because you might think, "Well, I am in control of my business." If you are a business owner, you might feel like you are the driving force that you've got everything in place, but something I've been struggling with quite lately, and to be honest, probably since I started my first business at the age of 21 is the pressure of others. This is not just to do with looking online, seeing people, believing that they're doing bigger and better things than you. It's not FOMO. It's actually the pressure of others and their opinions. To be able to get control of your business you really need to understand what you want and what your ultimate goals are. You need to have clarity around your mission and vision.
