Six-Figure Exit PART ONE! How I Built, Scaled & Sold My Diving Business

£28K in Four Days — Without Selling From a Stage! 💃

If you've ever spoken at a live event wondering why the room isn't converting or felt sick at the thought of raising your prices then this episode is the one. Sophie sits down with Dr Tania King-Mohammad, high ticket sales strategist, former NHS radiologist, and founder of The High Ticket Method. Tania recently spoke at an event in Leeds where she wasn't allowed to sell from the stage — and walked away with £28,000 in sales within four days. She explains exactly how. They also get into the stuff nobody talks about: why only 10% of female-owned businesses ever hit six figures, what's really behind the undercharging epidemic, and the simple mindset shift that turns sales from something you dread into providing a service that has proper value. Sophie shares how working with Tania led to a £24k week — by doubling her prices overnight — and Tania unpacks the 'Larry the Loft Conversion Expert' principle that will make you rethink your niche immediately! If you're running a business that runs on you, this conversation will push you to think bigger about what you charge, who you serve, and what speaking on stage could actually be worth.

In this episode, Sophie sits down with Amy (business coach, multi-business owner, and property investor) to talk about what actually happens when one income stream isn't enough, and what she did about it.

They also get into the practical side of growing a service-based business — how to create content that actually converts, why ads can backfire if your audience isn't ready, and where to find your ideal clients for free before you spend a penny on marketing. Plus: why Amy's best-ever business month happened when she did less, not more.
