Vibeke Foss is the founder of Gorgeous Geek, an agency providing web design and online business consulting for female coaches and entrepreneurs. After leaving a corporate career, she embraced her inner geek and began designing professional websites and teaching female entrepreneurs how to use content and marketing strategies to convert visitors into clients. Today, Vibeke describes how she learned to let go of the employee mindset and embrace the perks of working for herself. She shares the benefits of using a coworking space, the strategies she used to overcome her anxiety regarding outsourcing, and how time tracking has helped her improve her productivity. She also explains the importance of identifying when you’re procrastinating and shares her detailed vision of a day of living more. “Worldwide coworking spaces are growing so much because there are more entrepreneurs and more freelancers.” – Vibeke Foss] This Week on The Power to Live More Podcast:  How her career path led to the start of Gorgeous Geek. How her work as a virtual assistant led to her specialising in web design. The importance of managing client’s expectations around her availability. The benefits of using a coworking space and why it is important to find one that is a good fit for you. How making a todo list in the evening helps to clear her mind for better sleep. Why she prefers to finish the task at hand before moving on to the next no matter how long it takes. How she has handled her anxiety about outsourcing aspects of her business. The importance of listening to her body and how working for herself allows her to do that more than ever before. Why you need to learn to recognise when your body is lying to you as a form of procrastination. Spending time with the right people and having meaningful conversations as a form of relaxation. The elements of her morning routine that help her start the day in a positive and healthy way. How she deals with bad days. The detailed picture of what a day she has lived more looks like.

Vibeke Foss: From Corporate Employee to Gorgeous Geek

''You don't need a website to be successful'' some might say.  And they may be right.  Not having a website has worked for many in the online space.  But maybe you're like me and you see the benefits of having a website, especially as a podcaster.  And as our guest this week, Vibeke Foss says, 'a website should be the start of a conversation' - so why would you not have one.  Vibeke is a web designer who builds WordPress websites for service businesses, coaches and consultants. She loves taking care of the technical part, but she also gives guidance on content and strategy. A big part of her website projects is to help her clients understand how to communicate on their website in a way that their ideal client visitors go "yes, I've come to the right place!".  She also make sure that any website she builds has a natural user flow, and clearly reflects the vibe of the business and the services that are offered. In this episode, we discuss:   The three steps to creating a website that connects with your visitors How the use of video/audio on your podcast page can influence your visitors' buying decisions  Ways you can engage your website visitors so they take the next step i.e. booking a call with you   Quote - ‘‘Don't worry about things not being perfect. It will change all the time. It's growing with you as a business, as you're learning as a person and as your clients develop as well.’’ Resources mentioned in the episode Website planner https://www.gorgeous-geek.com/website-planner-2/  Want to connect with me on social media?
