172: Growing a business isn't just meditation & masturbation, you have to work hard too. | Breaking down the IG illusions, real talk and the personality traits you need for success
In today’s podcast, I am sharing with you guys some fucking TRUTH BOMBS of how growing my business wasn’t just about feminine energy.
I started talking about running by business in the feminine when I first started BABA about 2 years ago, and since then the popularity of feminine business modules has been growing rapidly. Whilst this is fantastic, I’m worried that new business owners are under the illusion that if they just masturbate and meditate, they’ll become millionaires.
So on today’s episode, I am sharing with you guys some fundamental TRUTH bombs to light a fire under your ass and to ground you into the knowing that it does take hard work and it’s not just all rainbows and butterflies in your business.
I’ll also be sharing with you the top personality traits that I’ve seen in my most successful business clients of mine.

171: How creating a 5 year plan could actually be limiting yourself and your business with Gabby Flegg
Welcome to part 5 of 5, of this mini podcast series. Today I am joined by Gabby, a photographer and past BABA client.
Gabby is a professional photographer with over 10 years experience manipulating light and encompassing the whimsical, mysterious sides of her clients.
A few juicy chicken nuggets Gabby shares:
— You're always going to get exactly what you’re meant to have
— The more you enjoy yourself in business, the more frequently it happens with ease
— However your business started, don’t expect it to be the same in the next 6 months
— Be open to pivoting and changing
— We never realize how much bigger we could go
— Setting a very strict plan you could be closing doors
— 5 year plan can be limiting because you may not be aware of what's actually possible because your energy isn’t close to being a match for that
Make sure you check out Gabby:
