Ep 17 - The Online Business Collective

Inspiring Women in Business

Starting a freelance business can make you feel like you are navigating through it alone, and it can be overwhelming, especially coming from the corporate world where you work with a team. Having a community that supports you is very critical.

In this episode, I talk about my membership, the Online Business Collective. I share the why behind it, how it came about, and the support system built inside it.

Listen up and learn more.

Key takeaways from this episode:

• You start with getting clarity and making a plan.
• Set goals. Without goals, you don’t have a plan or something to focus on.
• Learn and implement as you go along. The best way to learn is to learn by doing.

5 key areas of the membership:

• Looking after your mental well-being.
• Designing your dream lifestyle.
• Do less, better.
• Building your authority.
• Creating stable, scalable income.

More about Ruth:

Hi, I’m Ruth, a business coach specializing in helping freelancers and business owners adjust their mindset and marketing so they can get fully booked with clients they LOVE to work with. I’ve helped hundreds of self-employed women achieve the time and money freedom they craved.

I’ve started this podcast because when I first went all in and left the corporate world to be a freelancer, I was grateful for any work that came my way. After over 20 years of freelancing and working for other people, I started to realize I’d created a glass ceiling for myself.

In 2017, I finally started listening to that voice that had been telling me for a long time that I wasn’t doing what I loved and fulfilling my true potential. It took a critical illness to give me that wake-up call. I don’t want the same to happen to you.

You can expect practical advice, inspiring stories, and a lot of aha moments as we uncover and kick to the curb all the obstacles you have been putting in your way.

I’m on a mission to inspire women to start and play bigger in business.
