  • How to Step Out of the Salon and Scale to Seven Figures

    How to Step Out of the Salon and Scale to Seven Figures
    Nov 3 2026
    Natasha sits down with Sasha Cowell, founder of The Salon Owners Club, to unpack the transformative journey from burnt-out stylist to thriving, hands-off business owner. Sasha opens up about the harsh realities of hitting the VAT threshold, racking up £25k in debt while fully booked, and taking the bold £18k leap into business coaching that changed everything. Discover how salon owners can stop being hostages to their appointment columns, set boundaries with clients, implement bespoke high-ticket offers, and build sustainable enterprises that run—and profit—without them. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being Fully Booked Does Not Equal Being Profitable: You can have a two-page waitlist and a packed schedule yet still make zero profit if you don't understand operating costs, pricing, and financial thresholds like VAT. Treating Your Craft and Running a Business Require Different Skill Sets: Great technical artistry builds an initial client base, but scaling sustainably requires learning financial planning, systemisation, and operations. Transition in Stages to Protect Time and Energy: Stepping out from behind the chair doesn't have to happen overnight; phasing down client days (e.g., from six days to four, then three, then two) creates essential capacity to work on the business rather than just in it. Be Wary of Whose Advice You Follow: Solicit guidance only from people who have successfully walked the path you want to take, rather than well-meaning friends or family who don’t understand industry-specific pressures. High-Ticket Offers and Clear Positioning Drive Freedom: Implementing high-value, "profitable irresistible offers" alongside magnetic messaging attracts ideal, loyal clients and provides predictable cash injections without endless hours behind the chair. BEST MOMENTS "We put clients first before ourselves, before our family, before our own needs... we then become trapped and we become the hostage of our own success and our own business." "I led every decision through an emotional decision... rather than actually looking at my business as a business. It's like, Sasha, you've got to make decisions with a business head, not an emotional head." "You can only go so far with what you know. It’s what you don’t know is what takes you to the next level." "Do not listen to people that aren't where you want to be. Because quite often we go to family, we go to friends for advice, that have never actually walked our path." "People can be loyal to their need of you, but not actually loyal to you."

  • Stop Giving Your Power Away: Shift Your Paradigm and Create Lasting Success

    Stop Giving Your Power Away: Shift Your Paradigm and Create Lasting Success
    Jun 1 2026
    In this insightful episode, Natasha sits down with Elena Apalkova, the CEO and founder of Mindset to Results. Elena shares her deeply personal journey of achieving massive financial success only to lose it all to betrayal, and eventually being forced to flee the war in Ukraine with nothing but her documents and warm clothes. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mindset trumps mechanics: Generating income is only part of the equation; without the right internal programming and self-image, financial success cannot be sustained long-term. The Law of Cause and Effect: We are the ultimate cause of our circumstances. Recognising this allows us to stop playing the victim, take radical responsibility, and reclaim our personal power. Audit your circle: Your network significantly impacts your net worth and your energy. Surrounding yourself with the right people and recognising those who drain you is crucial for sustainable growth. Resilience is a learned skill: Rebuilding your life is entirely possible even after losing everything, provided you focus on internal growth and invest in the right mentorship. Purpose fuels perseverance: Having a massive "why," such as Elena's goal to build the Thousand Smiles foundation in Costa Rica, provides the intrinsic drive needed to overcome catastrophic external setbacks. BEST MOMENTS "It is less about outside factors and more about us, about knowing who we are, what self-image we have, what we expect, and also understanding how powerful we are." "Having a money goal is not enough. Because when we just make money work or just work for money and don't have that big 'why' ... it will not give us happiness and satisfaction." "Everything has cause and effect. According to the law of cause and effect, we become the cause of everything. And everything else what happening to us ... it is just results of our own self." "Success, as everything else, it has a recipe. And there are different ingredients which you have to collect together exactly like when we cook the cake." "People who do much more in life, it is not because they are more genius or they know more. No, just because they have different self-image."

  • From Michael Jackson's Bodyguard to Millionaire Entrepreneur with Matt Fiddes

    From Michael Jackson's Bodyguard to Millionaire Entrepreneur with Matt Fiddes
    Apr 27 2026
    In this special one-year anniversary episode, Natasha sits down with martial arts entrepreneur and global franchise owner, Matt Fiddes. Matt shares his incredible journey from a bullied teenager who left school with no qualifications to building the largest martial arts franchise in the world, starting with just a £100 bank loan. Along the way, he discusses the reality of scaling a business, dealing with devastating early failures, and his ten years working as the personal bodyguard to Michael Jackson. KEY TAKEAWAYS Start small but dream big: Matt launched his first martial arts school as a teenager with a £100 loan from Barclays Bank, working as a lifeguard for £2.75 an hour to raise the funds. Resilience in the face of failure is crucial: His very first planned martial arts class had zero attendees because it tragically coincided with the morning Princess Diana died. Despite this massive setback and losing his initial investment, he persevered, re-booked the hall, and eventually filled it with over 100 students. Focus on the right priorities: Matt emphasises a strict hierarchy for a successful life: health first, family second, and business or money third. He also stresses the importance of having three distinct plans for your health and fitness, personal finances, and business. Surround yourself with the right people: To achieve massive success, you must place yourself in rooms where you are the least successful person. Matt credits his network, including high-level mentors and his close connection to Michael Jackson, for elevating his mindset and business acumen at a young age. Franchising requires a proven model: If you want to franchise a business, like an aesthetic clinic or a hair salon, you must first have a profitable, proven model with at least one year of good financial accounts. BEST MOMENTS "When you're backs up against the wall and you got nothing else you can do and no qualifications, you don't have a lot of choice really, Natasha." "Great minds think about ideas, medium minds think about things, small minds talk about people, gossip. You need to be in the great minds." "I was always the poorest person in the room by about several billion, so I was part of the greatest mastermind at 19 years old." "Money's the byproduct of you being successful. You need to focus in the right order: health, family, money." "If you don't love what you do, it will become work and when it's work you don't love it."
