It’s Book Launch Day for You’ve Got This!

Well, hello everyone, and welcome back to the podcast! After what felt like the busiest “break” in history over December and early January, I’m absolutely thrilled to be back, and today is a very exciting day. It’s book launch day for You’ve Got This! I honestly can’t believe that over a year ago, I submitted that enormous word document to Bloomsbury, and today, it’s finally out there for you all to read.

To mark this special occasion, I decided (well, maybe Lol suggested it, but if it goes well, it was definitely my idea!) to chat about the book on the Small & Supercharged Podcast. And these are the notes that got with the epsiode. So here I am with Lol, and we’re diving straight into what You’ve Got This is all about and who I wrote it for.

What is You’ve Got This about?

In You’ve Got This, I’ve combined the strategies and tried and tested techniques I’ve gathered from years of business coaching and mentoring, drawing on my NLP Master Practitioner and Coach training, alongside my own personal experiences. But what makes this book truly special, and what I feel incredibly grateful for, is the contribution of some truly amazing individuals- people I have looked up to and admired for a long time.

Who’s contributed to You’ve Got This?

I wouldn’t call it luck- as I tell people over and over again, luck isn’t quite the thing we think it is. In my experience, stuff doesn’t happen through luck alone. And in this case, it’s been years of hard work and connection building that has allowed me to include wisdom from people like Theo Paphitis, Jo Tutchener-Sharp of Scamp & Dude, Brie Read of Snag, Mark Blundell, Charlie Bowes-Lyon from Wild Cosmetics, and Emma Bridgewater.

Have people endorsed the book too?

I’m so honoured to have endorsements and insights from incredible people like Sara Davies, Natalie Ellis -the founder of BossBabe (who I absolutely love!), the force of nature Rachel Watkyn from The Tiny Box Company (who you might remember from a previous podcast), the brilliant Olivia Hanlon from Girls in Marketing, the insightful Owen O’Kane (author of two amazing books, who I met at Theo Paphitis’s event), the fantastic Grace Andrews from @thesocialclimber on Instagram (and Marketing Director at Flight Studio), and the inspiring Maxine Laceby, co-founder of Absolute Collagen. Their kind words and support have been truly mind-blowing. When you pour your heart and soul into writing a book, there’s always that moment of “what if it’s not actually any good?”, so to have such incredible people read it and say such lovely things has been lovely. So yes, that’s a little bit of a jump through several questions in one, but that’s what You’ve Got This is all about!

A secret space, just for you…

Now, for those of you who pick up a copy of You’ve Got This, I have a really exciting bonus for you. On my website, I’ve created a special, secret area where you can listen to the full interviews I conducted with all the amazing contributors to the book. It’s a fantastic way to dive even deeper into their stories and learn even more about their journeys and how they overcame their own challenges. These full interviews will also be released weekly on this podcast, so you can enjoy them over time. But if you grab a copy of the book, you’ll have access to them all in one go for a real dose of motivation and inspiration.

Just to clarify who you’ll be hearing from in these bonus podcast episodes, it will be the contributors to the book. While not every single person who contributed to the book will have a full interview, there are at least fifteen fantastic conversations waiting for you. They are truly brilliant and offer such valuable insights. You can expect them to be released once a week through the regular podcast feed. However, as I mentioned, if you purchase You’ve Got This, you’ll find a link inside that will take you to a dedicated page on my website where you can binge-listen to them all! But be warned – you might end up feeling incredibly motivated and inspired! Some of these stories are truly incredible, and at least one might even bring a tear to your eye (it certainly did for me!).

If you do pick up a copy of the book, I would be so incredibly grateful if you could take a photograph of it and share it on social media, tagging me (I’m @rheafreemanpr) so I can repost and share it.

Thank you so much for listening, everyone. We’ll catch up again soon!
