Hey, I’m Amanda hughes! find out a bit more about me here..

​

I’m a small business mentor who's worked with hundreds of small business owners, an Apple top 30 podcaster, and bestselling author who’s obsessed with making it easier for small business owners to get together in a convenient, safe space to learn, connect and grow.

​

But before we get into that, let’s rewind a little...

​

I live on the stunning west coast of Scotland with my husband, John, our wildly wonderful twins and our rescue pup, Walt. My life is a mix of family chaos, hot chocolate-fuelled business dreams, and walks on the beach looking for treasure such as seaglass, rocks and pottery shards!

​

Like many small business owners, my journey has seen more than one pivot. I started as a wedding florist, then became a brand photographer, Social Media Mentor and now I spend my days bringing small business owners together in an online community.

 

If you're more of a listener than a reader you can learn more about me in this episode of my podcast Growth Addicts.

 

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​the importance of community in small business

​

When I started my first small business 12 years ago, I had nowhere to turn to ask business questions, get feedback, share my wins (and wobbles) or to learn. It was a frustrating time.

​

That’s exactly why I created:

✅ The Small Business Community – An online community where small business owners worldwide gather to learn, connect and grow. Find out more here

​

✅ Growth Addicts Podcast – Ranked in the Apple Top 30, my podcast is packed with small biz tips, success stories, and real talk from inspiring guests. If you need a dose of motivation while you work, this is for you!

​

and because I know creating content for your business is one of the biggest challenges for small business owners..

​

✅ The Social Media Planner – An Amazon #1 Bestselling Social Media planner and home of my 60 minute content planning method. This method makes planning your content simple, strategic, and stress-free. Because creating content shouldn't feel like a full-time job.
