I’m Ashlie, business coach, sales strategist, NLP coach, and marketing agency owner, and each week I’m sharing the lessons, strategies, mistakes, and breakthroughs that help freelancers and agency owners scale to £15k–£20k months.


From sales and marketing to mindset, client growth, pricing, and scaling, we cover the real conversations most people aren’t having.


This is for service providers who want to stop winging it, build a profitable business, and grow with strategy, not burnout.

Because here's the truth: saying yes to the wrong things isn't playing it safe. It's playing it small.

Ashlie shares the real story behind a recent business decision that didn't feel aligned and why she said yes anyway. She unpacks the fear that sits behind those misaligned yeses, why service-based business owners and coaches are particularly susceptible to it, and what it actually costs you when you keep overriding your own gut.

This episode will make you think differently about every opportunity that lands in your inbox and give you permission to trust yourself more than you trust the fear.

In this episode:

  • Why saying yes to the wrong things is a safety net in disguise
  • How to recognise a misaligned opportunity before you commit
  • The real cost of ignoring your gut in business
  • What saying no actually opens up for you

The 1% difference isn't always about doing more. Sometimes it's about doing less of the wrong things.
