Hey, I’m Amanda! Your Newest, Biggest Cheerleader 👋

I’m an award winning small business mentor, Apple top 30 podcaster, and bestselling author who’s obsessed with making it easier for small business owners 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 daily walks on the beach (which, let’s be honest, usually involve chasing after a dog or a child)

​

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.

 

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

When I started my first business 12 years ago I had no where to turn to ask questions, get some feedback, share my wins (and wobbles) and 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!

​

✅ 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.

​

Let’s Connect! 

Instagram is where I hang out the most, and I’d love for you to come say Hi! Over there, I share business tips, behind-the-scenes of my life, and plenty of easy to implement social media strategy.
