Then, her first post went viral.

Now, she has over 300,000 followers, goes viral consistently, and has built multiple million-dollar businesses off the back of LinkedIn content 🤯

Lara is a founder, co-founder, and investor with over 500,000 followers across platforms.

She runs Literally Academy, with 3,000+ members and co-founded Kleo (an AI writing tool that did $300,000 revenue in 3-4 months).

In this conversation, Lara reveals:

- Why she started posting on LinkedIn when she couldn't get a job (and how she went went viral immediately) 📈

- Why 80% of her revenue comes from email, not her 300,000+ social media followers

- The biggest mistake she sees most founders make (spoiler alert - this is the main distractor for young entrepreneurs)

- How she made $80,000 in one week with a bare-bones initial iteration of her offer 🎯

- How she positioned herself so well that a $300 million agency wanted to work with her (instead of her chasing them) 💰

- The framework for keeping an evergreen product selling year-round 🚀

- Exactly how she goes viral """"every day, every time"""" she posts

- How to make content so good people opt into your email list

Most content creators think their followers are their revenue source and constantly look for the next opportunity to scale.

Lara proves that email list is where revenue actually lives, that going deep on one thing opens more doors than chasing many things, and that refusing to settle for average means waiting longer but winning bigger.

Lara is an incredible entrepreneur, and this is one of the most tactical episodes we've recorded.

Lara breaks down exactly how she built three businesses by 28, the specific frameworks she uses to scale, and the strategies behind content that consistently goes viral.

Whether you're building a business, growing on social media, or trying to understand where revenue actually comes from, this conversation is packed with insights you can implement immediately 👀

They were living on £30 a month.

Their goal was to make £100,000 a year and pay themselves £50,000 each.

They hit that goal in 11 days.

Four years later, they're running a 7-figure agency 🚀

Niall is co-founder of Noticed, a B2B storytelling and marketing agency based in Manchester.

He's grown his LinkedIn to 60,000 followers, built the agency from zero to 7 figures in under 4 years, worked with clients like NHS and Ocean Beach, and more.

In this conversation, Niall reveals:

- How they hit £100K run rate in 11 days when potential clients started messaging them on LinkedIn 📈

- How they got through a 6-month plateau where the business just wasn't growing no matter what they tried

- The one perception shift that helped them work with enormous brands like NHS and Ocean Beach 🚀

- Why you're being lied to about inbound leads (They had 60K followers and even still inbound wasn't enough to fuel their growth)

- His EXACT cold outreach strategy that you can steal

- How they dropped payroll by £15K/month in December, added 3 new clients in January, and became £25K/month more profitable

- How AI completely transformed the agency model (same work output with dramatically less people)

- The commitment ladder Daniel Priestley taught him at dinner in Belfast (changed their entire outreach approach)

This is a masterclass in scaling fast and breaking through growth plateaus.

Niall breaks down the exact cold outreach strategy that took them to 7 figures in 4 years, how one perception shift helped them to sign huge enterprise clients, and why AI is changing the game for online businesses right now.

Whether you're building an agency, struggling with unpredictable inbound leads, or stuck at a revenue ceiling, this conversation shows the real strategy behind explosive growth 👀

A week later, she's hit her first 1,000 followers.

6 months later? 30,000 followers.

4 years later? 600,000.

WOW.

Sophie Miller built a 600,000-strong community as a student during the pandemic, growing it to become one of the UK's most engaged marketing communities - all starting from her spare room.

Sophie is the founder of Pretty Little Marketer, with over 600,000 followers across social platforms and 600+ paying members.

In this conversation, Sophie reveals:

- How she hit 1,000 followers in one week and 30,000 in 6 months without any strategy whatsoever 📈

- Why she waited 6 months before showing her face on the Instagram page

- What she learned from building without a strategy that now informs everything she does deliberately

- The brutal truth about her first year running a membership (and why she almost shut it down completely) 🎯

- Why 75-80% of her revenue comes from brand partnerships, not her membership

- The content strategy that got Kim Kardashian to engage with her post (she didn't even tag her) 🚀

- Why she's posting LESS content this year (and how it's actually working better)

- How to create content faster by answering three simple questions about your business

- How she gained 210 members in one week after restructuring her membership model

- Why she spends 3 days every week focusing on brand partnerships (and what the delivery actually involves)

- What happened when she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes mid-2024 whilst having her biggest revenue year

- Why her business saved her life when her world flipped upside down

Most creators think you need to monetise fast and post constantly to build a sustainable business.

Sophie proves you can build a huge community by serving first, that posting less is sometimes the best option, amongst a TON of other incredibly valuable takes.

This conversation goes deep into the reality of building solo - not hiring anyone for nearly 5 years, almost quitting when the membership wasn't working, and managing a life-changing diagnosis whilst having the biggest revenue year ever 👀

#DontWorkHarder #BusinessGrowth #SalesandMarketing

In that moment Amelia Sordell realised she'd built a prison, not a business - and spent the next 18 months deliberately ""unscaling"" the UK's leading personal branding agency to rebuild something aligned 💡

Now she's building Mother - a media company for women, by women - and teaching female founders to use their voice to gain competitive advantage in a space dominated by men.

Amelia is a personal branding consultant, best-selling author, and keynote speaker with over 250,000 LinkedIn followers and 70,000 on Instagram. She scaled Klowt to £4 million revenue with high overheads, generated billions of organic views for clients, then walked away because she couldn't scale a business built entirely around her personal brand.

In this conversation, Amelia reveals:

- Why she spent 18 months ""unscaling"" a successful agency 👀

- How building a brand exclusively around your expertise makes scaling really trick

- Why 80% of young people can't name a single female founder

- How she monetises social media with a highly profitable system (£79 course as paid lead magnet, 1,000 sales, then consulting at £5.5K/day) 🚀

- Why you need to separate your personality from your content

- The shift from masculine energy (""execute or don't, catch up or leave"") to building a business that doesn't deplete her at home

- How being a business owner brings out all the unhealed parts of you (childhood trauma, desperate need to be liked, hyperindependence)

Most personal branding experts teach you to scale your influence.

This conversation goes deep into the reality of burnout - living in stress, having nothing left to give at home, being a stressed parent, and the gradual process of dismantling something you spent 5 years building - for the greater good.

For founders who think they need to be perfect before they're ready or who tie their personality to their content performance, this episode shows what becomes possible when you build something truly aligned 👀

Jason spent 2 weeks mapping out a video so comprehensive that no one would need him after watching it.

He gave everything away for free.

And that's exactly why people paid.

Now he's financially free, runs a business he doesn't need, and is what he calls """"always free"""" 👀

Jason is a wealth enthusiast, trader, angel investor, and content creator with over 500,000 YouTube subscribers.

He achieved financial freedom at through trading, built a business model so passive he doesn't resent showing up, and created an oversubscribed program with 10,000 people on the waiting list.

In this conversation, Jason reveals:

- The YouTube video strategy that generated $12 million for his business 📈

- How he went from 50,000 to 390,000 subscribers in one year after 8 years of slow growth

- The 18 months he spent """"donating money to the markets"""" before the week that changed everything 👀

- The oversubscribed model he used to grow his business without ever placing an advert

- Why he gives 30-minute Instagram stories with A-Z solutions and no call to action (and how that builds trust better than any sales strategy) 🤯

- The exercise his mentor made him do that changed everything (calculating the TRUE cost of what you want, not just the price tag)

- Why he has no goals, no aspirations - because he knew what contentment was before he got there 👀

Most entrepreneurs think financial freedom requires hustle, scale, and complexity.

Jason proves you can build indestructible wealth through diversification and giving away lots of value for free.

Simon Ong went from a shy, introverted kid to securing book endorsements from Marie Forleo, Simon Sinek, and Ali Abdal 👀

Now he's a global keynote speaker, Penguin-published author, and has built a business with multiple revenue streams 🚀

Simon is a global keynote speaker, energy life coach, and the author of "Energize."

He grew his YouTube channel from 0 to 130,000 subscribers in 10 months and has built strategic relationships by connecting with people outside his industry - film directors, chefs, musicians, not just other speakers.

In this conversation, Simon reveals:

- How he built multiple revenue streams before the pandemic - and how he scaled his coaching income 📈

- How he designed his business to be extremely flexible so he can pivot and switch lanes fast when problems hit

- The voice note strategy on LinkedIn that converts nearly 100% of connections (and why it works better than text) 🎯

- The incredibly effective opening technique he uses for every keynote... inspired by James Bond 😎

- The huge mindset shift that he uses to take the pressure off networking and make it effortless

- What he studied before posting his first YouTube video (and how it led to 130k subscribers in 10 months) 🚀

- Why his "I'm 40 today" video got 4 million views and gained him 76,000 subscribers from a single piece of content 🤯

Most entrepreneurs think networking is about collecting contacts and making asks when you need something.

Simon proves that relationship building is a daily habit, that the best opportunities come from years of adding value before ever asking, and tells us exactly what to do to make that sustainable.

For entrepreneurs who think they're "not good at networking" or believe powerful relationships are out of reach, this episode shows what becomes possible with the right mindset 👀

And he came into the studio to reveal exactly how he did it 👀

Lewis Crompton is a financial freedom expert who’s built his success by doing the opposite of what most online business gurus preach.

He caps his mentorship groups at just 4–5 people and refuses to increase them - even when it would make him more money.

He’s taken revenue hits to serve his community better and built a business with less than 5% refund rates.

His success proves you can scale fast - without compromising what matters ❤️

In this value-packed conversation, Lewis reveals:

• How he went from £10K months to £2M in revenue while protecting quality over scale 🚀

• Why he taught for 6 years completely FREE before launching his paid company 👀

• The hiring mistake that cost him serious time and energy - and the one role he wishes he’d brought in earlier

• His exact strategy for hiring - even when he doesn’t feel ready

• How he built his two growth engines: his marketing machine and his sales machine 💰

• Why he refuses to expand group sizes - even when his team say they can handle more

• How he hires every single coach from his own successful students

Lewis has scaled by protecting what matters - even when it costs revenue in the short term.

For entrepreneurs trying to grow without losing their soul - or wrestling with the tension between purpose and profit…

Frankie James built Ideas Forum into one of the UK's most respected entrepreneurship platforms: the Great British Entrepreneur Awards - with 5,500+ entries at its peak!

Plus... she built Ideasfest - the 4,000-person business festival that Steven Bartlett called ""Glastonbury for business.""

Frankie has an incredible mindset when it comes to building a long term brand - she's turned down major sponsorship deals that didn't feel aligned with her values, and made the terrifying decision to cancel Ideasfest after selling 1,200 tickets - because she knew she couldn't deliver her best work.

Her approach challenges big assumptions that the entrepreneurship space makes about hustle culture, operating with strong values, and enjoying your work.

In this value-packed conversation, Frankie reveals:

- The one question that made her CANCEL a sold-out event - and why sometimes stopping is braver than pushing through 👀

- Why loving what you do makes knowing your limits harder - and the warning signs she watches for now 🙏

- The powerful sales skill that she learned from going door-to-door, that has become her secret weapon for landing big partnerships 💰

- How she gets 5,500 people to enter her awards for FREE - and still builds a profitable business model 📈

- Her exact advice for getting the attention of successful people when you don't have a big audience

- How she built a group of friends that TRULY understands and supports her through her struggles in business ❤️

- The reality of running huge events on tiny margins - and why her venue costs mean tickets barely break even

And so much more.

Frankie's built something massive with eight people because she's protected what matters for 12+ years - even when it meant walking away from money or pausing momentum.

For entrepreneurs who genuinely love their work but wonder how they can keep pushing without burning out... this episode shows what sustainable really looks like 🙌

#DontWorkHarder #BusinessGrowth #SalesandMarketing

Martin and Lyndsay built a content agency that generates seven figures with just 12 people.

Their clients routinely scale from £2,000 to £50,000+ per month.

And... their approach is pretty unique!

Martin and Lyndsay are the founders of Jammy Digital, a content marketing agency that's worked with Daniel Priestley, scaled using AI before other agencies caught on, and built a business that prioritises staying small and nimble.

They're also a married couple who've been in business together for over 10 years.

In this conversation, Martin and Lyndsay reveal:

- Their journey from working with Daniel Priestley as a client, to Martin becoming the CMO of Daniel's company Score App, to now launching an exciting business with him 🚀

- Their unique hiring philosophy - and why outsourcing early saved their sanity 📈

- The framework that lets them accurately forecast cash flow 6-12 months ahead (and how that makes hiring decisions simple)

- Why their membership with 100 happy members was actually the wrong business - and why they made the difficult decision to shut it down

- The wait list strategy they used to sell OUT their brand new service before it even launched 🤯

- How they deliberately start clients small - even if prospects want to pay £10k/month from day one

- Why they chose to cap growth at seven figures rather than scale to 50+ employees

- How they leaned into AI in December 2022 when other content agencies were fighting against it

- The ""video-first"" approach that now drives their entire content process 🚀

Most agency owners believe more revenue means more team, more clients, more complexity.

Martin and Lyndsay prove you can hit seven figures by doing the opposite - staying intentionally small, being selective about clients, and building systems that scale.

For entrepreneurs who want to scale a profitable, lean company - this episode is a gamechanger.

Tamu Thomas had a panic attack on her way to work one Monday morning.

She thought she was going to die.

That moment became the catalyst for revolutionising her approach to healthy ambition and toxic productivity.

Now she's a Hay House published author, who teaches women how to spot the signs of overworking - and helps them build a business where opportunities come to YOU 🙌

Tamu is the author of ""Women Who Work Too Much,"" a sought-after speaker featured in Forbes and Stylist, and a former social worker who burned out trying to conform and prove herself into exhaustion.

In this conversation, Tamu reveals:

- The crucial difference between being Type A and toxic productivity 🤔

- Her breaking point - the Monday morning panic attack that made her realise she needed to change

- The early burnout signs most people dismiss

- Why she closed her membership and group program WITHOUT guilt

- The ""lighthouse"" business model - stop running around the shore chasing opportunities, plant yourself firmly and let ships come to you 🎯

- Why she built a 12-month coaching program when everyone else did 3-6 months 👀

- The shift from working with individuals to building corporate leadership training - focusing on middle management and nervous system-informed work

- What should you do when you spot burnout signs in yourself ❤️

Tamu reveals how toxic productivity masquerades as ambition - and why the most powerful opportunities come when you stop overworking and start showing up fully in your authority.

For entrepreneurs who work incredibly hard but feel exhausted rather than excited and fulfilled, this episode is a complete game-changer.

#DontWorkHarder #BusinessGrowth #SalesandMarketing

Yasin Mammeri built Viral Video Club from zero to a projected £4 million in revenue in just two and a half years, teaching entrepreneurs to create viral content and grow their businesses on social media.

Yasin has over 650,000 followers on Instagram and runs a 90-day boot camp that guarantees 1 million views - or you get your money back.

In this conversation, Yasin reveals:

- What he learned from going homeless at the age of 27

- Why he shut DOWN six-figure agency, even though his mentors were begging him not to...

And why it ended up being the best decision he ever made 👀

- His boot camp launch strategy that brought him £120k worth of sales in 30 days whilst filming 90 videos, building the course weekly, and learning to sell on the fly

Instead, he cracked a GENIUS LinkedIn strategy that makes clients come to him inbound, and makes prospects arrive already wanting to work with him.

Sam is the founder and CEO of Kurugo, a personal branding agency launched in 2021 that's helped over 300 entrepreneurs become thought leaders in their industries.

His agency has generated hundreds of millions of views and tens of millions of pounds in revenue for clients including athletes, OBEs, and leaders from McKinsey & Co, KPMG, Lyca Group, and Genflow.

He built his own following from zero to 60,000 on LinkedIn, scaled his team to 19 whilst working fully remote, and charges a premium price for his services.

In this conversation, Sam reveals:

- The EXACT strategy that he uses to sign high ticket clients for his business through LinkedIn 📈

- Why he worked for free early on

- His batching system for high quality LinkedIn content (how to create content in less time, and bring in more clients)

- What he looks for to find A player talent for his team

- How losing a third of his business and 40% of his team in one week nearly made him quit - and what kept him going during the dark days 😩

- His end-of-day ""off routine"" that helps him actually switch off (all entrepreneurs should be aware of this)

Most businesses chase clients and constantly send cold DMs to try to grow.

Sam's approach is different - build credibility, let prospects research you first, then wait for them to arrive ready to buy.

Want to know his exact client attraction system? You NEED to watch this episode.

#DontWorkHarder #BusinessGrowth #SalesandMarketing

Join us as we reflect on an incredible first year of bringing you authentic conversations with entrepreneurs who’ve built successful businesses without simply “working harder.” 🎙️

We’re revisiting our top 10 most powerful moments from the past year - raw, honest conversations that challenged the hustle culture narrative and showed the real path to sustainable business success. ✨

We’ll show you some INCREDIBLE moments including… 🔥

How Lord Alan Sugar called Linda Plant to become an interviewer on The Apprentice and the serious responsibility behind the grilling: “Dig deep and give me good television” 📺

The moment Robin Waite broke down while cycling at 45mph and made the devastating decision to close his agency the next day, just weeks before his daughter was born 😮

Richard Moore learning resilience the hard way when his mum told him “you’re not coming home” while earning just £1,000 net per month with £800 rent 😬

Teresa Heath-Wareing’s powerful journey to sobriety and how getting sober felt like “cutting my arm off” - losing a whole part of her identity and brand 💛

Andy Lambert realising his “saviour mentality” was holding the business back and learning he couldn’t scale by being in every customer meeting

How Ryan Deiss accidentally “broke the internet” with a retirement announcement when Digital Marketer’s course sales dropped to just 20% of what they were 👀

The magic moment when Sinead Sharkey-Steenson and Lisa Strutt’s first event saw 150 people buy tickets for next year with no venue or speakers announced - and crashed their website 🎟️

Alice Benham losing £50k+ in recurring revenue overnight when all her direct debits were cancelled: “I gave myself 60 seconds to panic, then wrote a plan” 💪

Dani Wallace on the question that changed everything: “Who do I need to be in order to pull this off?” and learning to trust herself through every level of growth 🧠

Dr. Alka Patel ignoring the soft signals until they became loud shouts - ending up hospitalised for four weeks after pushing through burnout: “I met a 106-year-old who said ‘I’ve been kind to my body, so my body has been kind to me’” 🏥

Happy holidays from the Don’t Work Harder team! See you in the new year! 🎉

#DontWorkHarder #BusinessGrowth #SalesandMarketing

Dan Knowlton spent years grinding through project after project, constantly hunting for the next deal, until one realisation changed everything...

He was pitching the wrong type of work.

Then he made a single shift that took him from crisis point to running a highly successful creative agency with a lean team of 12 💡

Dan is one half of Dan and Lloyd (yes, with his brother), a creative marketing agency that's worked with brands like Nestle, Sunny D, BBC, Channel 4, and Euro Tunnel over 11 years in business.

In this conversation, Dan reveals:

- The unique framework that took them from working with local cafes to global brands - such as Euro Tunnel, Nestle and the BBC 📈

- Why they flipped their entire pitch structure on its head, and the new strategy they use to get prospects excited

- How they switched from constantly chasing projects to a much more sustainable model

- The decision framework for when to push through versus quit - Dan wanted to walk away from a demanding client after being told ""I'm disappointed,"" but his brother identified it was stress talking, not intuition (that client became their biggest retainer)

- Their 10-year goal setting strategy that will make sure they hit their specific revenue, profit, and team targets over the next decade 🎯

- Their team reward system that actually drives performance - including a team trip to Ibiza 🚀

- Why they promote from within almost exclusively

- Their long-game content strategy for reputation building and scaling

The online business world glorifies the grind - client after client, project after project, always hustling.

Dan's story exposes the flaw in that model.

This conversation goes deep into the uncomfortable stuff - Dan calling his parents crying after a corporate breakdown at 21, wanting to quit a major client mid-project because criticism crushed him, and admitting he's naturally bad at managing people and taking feedback.

For entrepreneurs who think success means working 80-hour weeks, or that going viral is the only way to win credible clients, this episode reveals a much better path 👀

- How to leverage masculine structure AND feminine flow to scale sustainably 🙏

For entrepreneurs who think once you hit seven figures you're home free, this episode reveals the truth.

Dr Tru is a personal branding expert, founder of the Multicultural Inspire Awards, co-founder of Black Business Magazine, and a whole lot more.

His network includes huge names from Judi Love to Usher, and he came on Don't Work Harder to teach YOU how to build an enormous personal brand to drive growth for your business.

In this powerful conversation, Dr Tru reveals:

- How to build media visibility without a PR agency

- The Twitter engagement strategy that gets journalists asking YOU to appear on the news

- The exact method for monetising your audience fast - that he used to scale to 30,000 community members and £10K with one simple offer 🚀

- Why being contrarian is your competitive advantage 👀

- How to gain a ton of support from your network without feeling like you're putting people out

- What to do when you're not present enough in your business or life

- Why he believes you can't be a FULLY ethical billionaire (and what he's trying to prove anyway)

- What happened when a trusted partnership fell apart and he lost six figures, and how he rebuilt it to something even better 💪

This isn't a story about avoiding failure - it's about what you do when failure finds you anyway, costs you six figures, damages your reputation, and tests everything you believe about yourself.

Dr Tru proves that your personal brand isn't built by playing it safe - it's built by being so authentically yourself that people can't look away.

From refusing to conform as a kid to becoming the voice journalists call when they need cultural commentary, he's mastered how to get opportunities and get seen by more people, and taught us how to do it step by step.

But this episode also reveals what happens when everything falls apart.

The partnership that went to court. The six-figure loss. The reputation damage. The moment he questioned whether he could continue. A

And most importantly - how, network, self-belief, faith and mindset turned his worst season into the dream business that's now scaling nationwide.

For entrepreneurs who want to build a personal brand that opens doors AND learn how to rebuild when things go wrong, this conversation gives you both blueprints. 🚀

Dr. Alka used to feel so guilty about taking bathroom breaks during her 10-minute patient appointments that she'd skip them entirely.

This episode teaches you how she made that incredible transformation.

Dr. Alka is a longevity doctor, lifestyle medicine expert, and founder of the Million Hour Club - where she teaches entrepreneurs and professionals how to live to 114 years old - and enjoy every minute of it.

Dr. Alka told Suman:

- The important principle that she used to land her first £10K client 💸

- How she confidently charges six figures for her most premium services

- Her lean business model: why she chooses to work with expert freelancers instead of employees ✍️

- How she made a big, brave move and reached over 500,000 people with her TedX talk 🚀

- Her interesting take on ""work-life balance"" as an entrepreneur - and her alternative option

- The signals of burnout lots of entrepreneurs ignores😬
