Creating group programmes and courses is an integral part of both our businesses and something we're both so passionate about.  So in today's episode, we wanted to take a look back on how we came to create group programmes, memberships and courses, how they currently fit into our business model, and what we've learnt along the way. We'll share how we approach creating valuable offerings, Vix's shares her genius when it comes to teaching theory and how we see group programmes playing a part in the future of our businesses.  We want to hear what you wish you knew before starting a business, so head on over to Alice's Instagram @alice_benham to share yours!  _____ AB : https://www.instagram.com/alice_benham/ Vix: https://www.instagram.com/growwithvix/  

Today on Wish We Knew, we're going to tackle the simple, yet highly complex question of are you happy in your business?  Now, this conversation is your permission slip to reflect on this question with us because let's be real, you probably don't love all the tasks you have to do in your business, all day, every day.  So in this episode, we are going to go back to why we wanted to be business owners and deep dive into where we're at with it right now.  And we'd love to hear from you! Come and let us know on Instagram what you wish you knew before starting a business.  _____ AB : https://www.instagram.com/alice_benham/ Vix: https://www.instagram.com/growwithvix/    

We love a money chat, so today we're chatting all about making money and our attitude to spending it.  We've both been on quite the journey with building revenue in our businesses, swiftly followed by the realisation that revenue doesn't equal profit. So do you really have to spend money to make money or should we be doing everything on a shoestring budget?  Join us as we reflect and process our past experiences with spending, saving and investing money in our businesses.   Here's what we wish we knew... _____ AB : https://www.instagram.com/alice_benham/ Vix: https://www.instagram.com/growwithvix/  

Hello! and welcome back to Wish We Knew.  Yes, we are back for a second series sharing all the things we wish we knew before we started our businesses! We're kicking off with the lifting of lockdown and how that's got us feeling because, after a year of staying at home working on our businesses, we're now adding social lives, holidays, events etc back to our schedules and the transition doesn't feel as easy or smooth as we'd imagined. So here's what we wish we knew....  _____ AB : https://www.instagram.com/alice_benham/ Vix: https://www.instagram.com/growwithvix/  

For the final episode of this first season we thought it might be fun to mix up the format and discuss a real-time wish we knew! With both our businesses in a stage of transition, Vix and I are wrestling with our messaging... Could it be more niche? How do we create a solid foundation? Is it clear enough? Should it evolve? Tune in to hear us talk through these questions... _____ AB | https://www.instagram.com/alice_benham/  Vix | https://www.instagram.com/vixmeldrew/

Ever look at the businesses of others and assume it's been that way from day 1? We definitely used to and after experiencing our own evolutions, have since learnt a lot about how businesses really grow. We didn't begin our businesses with a suitably diverse 'portfolio' of offerings and clear messaging, we began with 1 thing and it was a LOT of evolving and shifting from there. Tune in to discover more about what that process has looked like, the challenges we've faced as our businesses have evolved and why we don't think the evolution will ever stop. _____ AB | https://www.instagram.com/alice_benham/ Vix | https://www.instagram.com/vixmeldrew/
