Work Less, Earn More, Be FREE
You CAN put your needs first, have more freedom & more income
Work Less, Earn More, Be Free is coming back in 2023
Pals, I know you want better balance, more freedom.
I know you want to have more freedom, more fun, more joy, more time with your family, more travel, more LIFE.
But I also know that you’re scared that if you work less, you’ll earn less. That you’re worried that people won’t pay more, guilty for charging more. That you feel like you need to work hard to deserve to earn good money.
You’re not sure where to start in setting your prices, raising your prices, how to say THE ACTUAL WORDS to your clients.
Let me help you KNOW that you can do this
Over nine weeks I’ll help you build your confidence so you know that you can work less and earn more.
I’ll show you how to set your capacity, move from pricing by the hour (that puts a ceiling more solid than glass on what you can earn) to package pricing, how to raise your prices, how to say goodbye to bad clients so you can make way for good ones.
I’ll stoke the belief in you, so feel that you deserve it and can do it, as well as giving you the practical tools, templates and time to put this into action.
Are you ready to feel like these pals?
“Since we worked together I have had my most successful business year to date. I managed to go part time in my business for a month in 2020 and haven’t really worked ‘full time’ (in the traditional sense) ever since! Jo will help you make quick and simple adjustments to your business that will have a life-changing impact on your wellbeing.”
“I now work 2.5 days a week on client work, 1 day working on the business and 1.5 days writing fiction. Honestly, I’d never have thought this was possible without our work together. It feels amazing to be here now.”
For you this could look like...
- A day a week for therapy and looking after your wellbeing
- Working half days so you can spend more time with the small people
- A month off to travel and explore
- A day a week to learn new skills
- Rest and recuperation time after each client
- Fun days built into your calendar every month
- Time every morning to potter in the garden (just me??), that you don’t need to get up early for
Before we start the course, everyone will get an ‘dreaming module’ – a guided audio visualisation and prompts to dream about what a life with less work and more money could look and feel like. Then we’ll spend nine weeks together making that a reality.
Hi, I’m Jo 👋
An Edinburgh-based, cat loving, patriarchy denying, ableism fighting firebrand. 🔥
A firebrand is a person who is passionate about a cause, or a burning piece of wood. I’m both.
I am passionate about FREEDOM. 💥
You feeling free to be who you are in your life and work. Free from the confines of our patriarchal, ableist, racist society, that says you should be self-less, small, pliant, kind.
That your needs should come last. We don’t believe that around here, chum.
This is the passion I burn with (along with a burning love of celltic history, rose 🍷, painted nails and strawberries) and I will happily, madly wave my burning torch aloft, ready to light the fire of those around me. 🔥🔥
Starting on Monday 10th October, we’ll have bi-weekly lessons, which mix mindset and practical action.
The weeks in-between we’ll have co-working sessions so you’re taking action as we go.
There’s even the option to have nine weeks of 121 support from me to get my advice, support and feedback.
I’ll help you prioritise, know where to start, stop stalling and feel supported to take action to work less and earn more.

Let's feel like these past Work Less, Earn More, Be Free loves
“It’s solidified my thoughts and feelings around working and earning without destroying myself to do it! It’s helped me to put me first, and reconstruct things around me, and not have another thing in my life that I need to fit in with! It also already has had an impact – during the time together, I quit (one of!) my work streams to refocus on my business – it was a big leap (even though I’d been talking about putting it down for a year!) but part of this work gave me the extra confidence to do it.”

You’ll get access to a password-protected page on my website with all of the replays, slides, audio affirmation tracks and templates. You’ll also get an email after each lesson with links to take you there.
No, you have to figure out what pricing is right for you. What I’ll give you is a process and formula to decide what they should be. I’m no dictator – I want you to be able to make these decisions for yourself chum.
Each lesson and co-working session will be 90 minutes. After each lesson you’ll have a short to-do list – you can do this work during the co-working session or in your own time.
So if you go for Option Two, you’ll get my Boundaries Bundle as part of the course, as well as 121 support from me throughout the nine weeks. We’ll have a space on Voxer (like WhatsApp, but separate – #boundaries), where I’ll have weekly office hours every Tuesday. So you can message asking for advice, support, feedback and on Tuesdays throughout the course I’ll be there to give you all the support you need!
