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.

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.

Embracing Introversion: How To Run Your Business as an Introvert with Confidence with Jennie Wright
“Being extroverted has nothing to do with selling.” - Jennie Wright
Running a business as an introvert comes with its own set of unique challenges and opportunities.
I recently sat down with Jennie Wright in a recent episode of the Simple Business Show™, to dive deep into this topic.
Jennie shared her journey from corporate life to entrepreneurship, offering insights into harnessing introversion as a strength in business.
Understanding Introversion and Ambiversion
Before we can adapt our business practices, it's crucial to understand what introversion actually means. Introverts typically recharge by spending time alone, finding large social gatherings draining.
Some people, like Jennie & Steph, identify as ambiverts—exhibiting qualities of both introversion and extroversion depending on the situation.
This nuanced understanding allows us to prepare for situations where "peopling" is unavoidable.
Identifying Your Strengths as an Introvert
Introverts possess unique skills that can be highly beneficial in business settings:
Deep Listening and Meaningful Conversations: Introverts often prefer in-depth discussions over small talk, which can lead to more meaningful connections with clients and peers.
Boundary Setting: Being aware of personal energy levels enables introverts to set clear boundaries, ensuring time is allocated effectively between work needs and personal recharge.
Jennie shares how these traits have played a crucial role in successfully managing her own business, emphasizing the importance of aligning your work with your natural inclinations.
Overcoming Challenges in Sales and Public Speaking
A common misconception is that introverts struggle with sales. However, Jennie argues that introverts can excel in sales environments by leveraging their ability to forge deep connections. She illustrates this through her personal journey of hosting multiple Facebook lives.
Though challenging, the experience proved that viewers are more interested in content quality than delivery perfection. For Jennie, the message was clear—overcome your fears by focusing on the value you provide.
Managing Energy to Avoid Burnout
Effective energy management is essential for introverts to thrive. Here are a few of the strategies that Jennie and Steph discussed:
Schedule Smart: Allocate specific days for meetings and ensure no-call days to focus on strategic work without interruptions.
Plan Self-Care: Pre-empt your busy days by planning self-care activities that help recharge your batteries. This preparation can transform potentially overwhelming days into manageable ones.
Networking as an Introvert
Networking doesn’t have to be painful. Here are some strategies that Steph and Jennie shared to make it more manageable:
Prepare Ahead: If attending a conference, research nearby quiet spaces or cafes where you can take breaks. Online, leverage virtual events where interaction can be less intense.
Give Yourself Permission: It’s okay to say no to after-events if you're feeling drained. Authenticity in relationships matters more than simply showing face.
Self-Awareness: The Ultimate Tool
Both Jennie and Steph agree that self-awareness is a powerful tool. By recognizing how our behavior impacts those around us, we can better navigate our personal and professional lives.
Communication with partners and team members is crucial, allowing us to pre-emptively address and manage potential conflicts or energy drains.
