When I found Steph, I had already spent 8 months searching for how to grow from an unprofessional blogger to a professional, recognizable business in my industry.
No one seemed to offer that 'secret sauce'—the guidance you need when you're trying to grow, but don't have enough time to do it all yourself or the money to hire help.
When I saw a bundle that she hosted, I immediately thought, 'This is the woman I need to learn from.'
And I was right!
Steph provided exactly what I had been searching for all year but couldn’t find anywhere else.
She’s been the missing piece I needed to take my business to the next level!"

Hey, I'm Steph Blake 👋
I'm that crazy woman who is obsessed with working less than 20 hours per week & making a full-time income 🤪
...AND I WANT TO HELP MAKE THAT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TOO!
It's really easy to fall into the trap of overworking & not getting the results you want.
With over 20 years of experience in marketing and 10 years running my own business, I’ve been there—I worked the 80+ hour weeks chasing the elusive “6-figures per year” goal.
But when I found out I was pregnant with my first son, I realized that I needed to figure out a way to leave my 9-5 job and go full-time in my business.
So I created a SIMPLE solution that my ADHD brain could understand & implement...quickly!
For the past 6 years, I have taught this method to thousands of people, retired my husband in early 2022 from his 9-5 job & consistently work <15 hours/week while making 6+ figures.

How do you thank someone who stopped you from giving up on your business and helped you discover your true purpose?
For years, I was held back by a missing link that I couldn’t identify—until I worked with Steph Blake.
She helped me find it in a Mastermind where we shared our businesses, fears, and mindsets in a safe, supportive space.
Despite never having met Steph before, the experience was transformative. I’ve worked with countless coaches and invested significant time and money without seeing results, but none understood my mission and passion like Steph.
She grasped my "why" almost better than I did.
What makes Steph unique is how much she truly cares. She listens deeply and finds the simplest, most effective strategies to help you start or scale your business.
Thanks to Steph, I now believe I can build the business I’ve always envisioned. The outcome exceeded my expectations.

Creating A Human First Marketing Plan with Victoria Boyd
"When doors aren't open for you, build a door." - Victoria Boyd
In a world where AI is transforming the digital landscape, maintaining a human-centered approach in marketing is paramount.
In a recent episode of The Simple Business Show™, host Steph Blake and marketing expert Victoria Boyd explored the concept of "human-first marketing" and how businesses can maintain authentic connections while leveraging technological advancements.
The Journey to Human-First Marketing
Victoria Boyd, a seasoned marketing professional, shared her evolution from pursuing a traditional corporate career to embracing entrepreneurship.
Her journey began with a focus on digital media and gradually transitioned to establishing her marketing practice.
Victoria emphasized the importance of "building your door" when existing opportunities don't align with your goals, a metaphor emphasizing the entrepreneurial spirit of creating one's path.
What is Human-First Marketing?
Human-first marketing requires businesses to strip away the complexities of digital algorithms and remember the fundamental aspect of their operations: people.
It's about crafting content and experiences that resonate with individuals on a personal level, fostering genuine relationships, and delivering on promises without relying excessively on AI-driven tactics.
Balancing Personal Brands with Business
Steph and Victoria discussed the nuances of personal branding versus operating as an agency or team-driven brand.
Personal branding is about aligning your online presence with your real-world persona, creating an authentic and cohesive experience across all touchpoints.
In contrast, agencies can leverage client stories and team dynamics to humanize their brands without sacrificing professionalism.
AI as a Tool, Not a Replacement
While AI offers incredible capabilities in automating processes and generating content, it shouldn't replace the human touch that fosters connections and creativity.
Victoria highlighted the strategic integration of AI, ensuring it supports—but never overshadows—the personal elements that define human-first marketing.
The Power of Storytelling in Marketing
One compelling way to maintain a human-first approach is through storytelling.
Sharing personal anecdotes, client experiences, and business journeys creates relatability and strengthens connections with the audience.
It's not about sharing every detail of one's life but providing insights that can inform and inspire others.
Consumer Savviness and Authenticity
With the digital landscape becoming more sophisticated, consumers are increasingly savvy about marketing tactics like false urgency and misleading promotions.
Transparency and authenticity have become crucial in building trust. Steph and Victoria advocated for setting real deadlines and prices and communicating them honestly to maintain credibility.
