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.
I worked the 80+ hour weeks for years to reach the elusive "6-figures per year" goal.
But when I found out I was pregnant with my first son in 2018, 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 5+ 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.

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!"

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.

Mastering SEO: Insights from Barb Davids on Boosting Your Online Presence
"SEO stands for search engine optimization and is setting up your website so that it can be found like places like Google, Bing, Yahoo..." - Barb Davids
In today’s digital landscape, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is key—not just for visibility but as a strategic tool to drive organic traffic. In a recent episode of the Simple Business Show™, Steph Blake sat down with Barb Davids, founder of Compass Digital Strategies, to demystify SEO and share practical steps for boosting your website's performance.
With over 25 years of experience in digital marketing, Barb offers actionable strategies that any business owner can use to enhance their SEO and increase online visibility.
What is SEO?
SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is the art and science of making your website more attractive to search engines like Google. Unlike paid ads, SEO focuses on generating organic traffic, giving you sustainable visibility that can directly impact your sales.
How to Get Started with SEO
Barb stresses the importance of blogging as a cornerstone of any SEO strategy. Regularly updating your website with valuable content tailored to your target audience can help you rank higher in search results.
Start by identifying keywords that potential customers might use to find your services and build blog posts around those topics.
Mastering Keyword Research
Understanding your audience's search habits is crucial to effective SEO. Barb recommends using simple tools like Google’s autocomplete suggestions and the "People Also Ask" feature to identify keywords that matter.
Rather than trying to cover every possible keyword, focus on consistent, high-quality content that aligns with what your ideal clients are searching for.
Local SEO Tips for Businesses
If your business relies on local clients, don’t overlook the power of local SEO! Setting up a Google Business Profile can enhance your visibility for customers searching nearby.
This free tool is essential for businesses wanting to capture searches like "services near me" and can increase foot traffic as well as online visibility.
Technical Aspects of SEO
Barb also highlights technical SEO aspects that play a significant role in boosting site performance. Key areas include:
Backlinks: These can boost your credibility, but avoid purchasing links since Google penalizes this practice.
Canonical Links: Use these to prevent duplicate content issues and guide search engines to your main pages.
Mobile-Friendly Design: Google uses mobile-first indexing, so ensure your site works seamlessly on mobile devices.
Dispelling SEO Myths
Many business owners assume SEO is overly complex, but Barb assures us it doesn’t have to be.
By focusing on consistent, high-quality content and creating a positive user experience, you’re already well on your way to improving your site’s SEO.
