In today's episode, I’m joined by the absolutely brilliant Vicki Jakes.

Vicki Jakes is an online marketing and website optimisation consultant helping small businesses sell more stuff via their websites. She is so passionate about helping small businesses learn to love their websites and online marketing by bringing high-level easy to understand training in an approachable way.

We have a really fabulous discussion about:

The challenges of being a mum in the workplace and starting up your own business whilst juggling children and life.
The importance of choosing to do what makes you happy and recognising the value you have to offer.
Learning how to listen to your clients, and then pivot or adapt to give them what they really need and want from you.
The challenges and benefits of growing a remote team,
How to communicate effectively and create a sense of connection with your team all around the world, away from the coffee machine or cigarette corner.
Why you should be challenging the way you work and how you’ve always done things.
Manage expectations and set the scene for the project ahead through a shared project manifesto.
The importance of self-care, having time out for yourself and avoiding burnout by training your clients about how to work with you.
Adding value, showing you care and building trust and goodwill with your clients.
The best way to market your business is through word of mouth and connecting with real people.

And how important it is to get out of your comfort zone, talk to people and talk about your business.
