Before we talk about your business, tell us who you are?
Hi! I’m Ashlee – I live in Alberta Canada with my husband and my two sons who are 3.5 and 2! I love tea, wine, binge watching funny tv shows and spending time outside when it’s nice here!
Now let’s talk business, what sets you apart? How did you start on your journey?
I built a social media management business after having my oldest, and now I’m a business coach and I help service-based entrepreneurs’ transition into coaching, and coaches build businesses they LOVE. I built this with NO childcare until recently – now I get one day a week focused on work.
My mission is to help women develop their soulful sales strategy so they can work less + make more money. I wanted MORE for my life and wanted something that was truly mine – and I want to help others do the same.
What advice do you have for moms who want to start a business?
- I can't stress how important it is to have support - this can look like family, or maybe they won’t understand at all - that’s okay.
- Find some ladies that GET what you do. It’s going to be absolutely key for your business.
- Another tip is finding pockets of time. I work better in the morning so for a while I was waking up at 5am. That’s not what you have to do to have a successful business but finding/making extra hours is going to be really important in this building stage. Some days it was 5am wake ups other days it was working til 11pm - I had to find time where I could - I have biz friends that gave up TV for their first year in biz!

My favourite book ever is Unfu*k Yourself by Gary John Bishop – a little sweary but the mindset work I didn’t think I needed! This book gave me to push to start my coaching biz.
