H​I there and welcome to day 1 of the rest of your life.
​
My name is Ruth and I'm going to let you in on the secret sauce that you need to be able to become financially free and time rich all in one go and all from doing the job you love!
​
We grow up being told that we must follow a certain path in life.
That the want for money is bad, wrong and even the root of EVIL!
​
But if money buys you freedom and choice, then why is it demonised so much?
​
we all know that one thing in the hands of a bad person will be used for bad things, just as that same thing in the hands of a good person will be used for good.
​
Money is no different!
Money is the currency of freedom.
And Freedom is what we all want. Freedom from the long hours, the rat race. We all want to enjoy everything that life has to offer just that little bit more and money and time is how you're going to be able to do that.
​
​
​
What if there was another way?
​
Well if you're a stylist, then you are in a perfect position to be able to work less and earn more money, even in the current climate.
How do I know this? Well quite simply, because I've done it and now I want to share what I have learnt and put it into successful practice with you.
​
I am here to help you reach your goals
.
We all have the potential to achieve great things and I want to help you realise and reach your potential. You have something unique and brilliant to offer the world and I'm here to help you share your best self with the world and transform your self-employed job into a lifestyle business
​
​
​
Because time without money is as pointless as money without time.
​
Who is she?
I am a woman with a fire in my belly on a mission to empower freelancers to step into a new era for themselves.
I want every freelancer and small business owner to easily and fully understand the value they bring to the world and to gain the confidence to charge for it.
​
I was a loud little girl and today I am still a loud (albeit slightly bigger) girl and I am here to help you be your biggest, boldest, baddest self unashamedly.
I want you to take up space and confidently have your voice heard and your skills respected.
I have been a hairstylist for 20 years, 11 of those I have been freelance or self-employed. I have done and seen almost everything within our industry.
I come from a working-class family who are also small business owners in the trade and service industry and I had the benefit of growing up on site.
​
Apart from a passion for hair I am OBSESSED with psychology and why we do what we do. This has taken me down many deep, dark rabbit holes on a quiet day but it also made me realise the POWER of psychology when it comes to PRICING!
​
​
Why create the Pricing Calculator App...
For me, working out my prices was time-consuming, boring and subject to much human error when your 5 services deep.
​
Another thing that used to really play on my mind was, during each day in the salon, for some clients I'd use more colour, more bleach and an extra half an hour. I knew they should have been paying more but how could I work out HOW MUCH extra to charge them without getting my pen, paper and calculator out?!
​
Then I had some clients who I knew I'd used less time and product on and I felt like they we're being over-charged or they we're subsidising the clients that ought to have paid extra.
​
I hated not really knowing if I'd charged my clients correctly or if I was making or losing money on each client. It didn't feel right or fair and I knew that just 'wingin' my business would not be big or clever.
​
The app was born out of trying to find a better and quicker way to do my prices as a freelancer and spreadsheets didn't cut it either. I needed something better, quicker and more customizable
​
One day the thought came to me and I said.... There's gotta be an app for that. I searched the app store and to my absolute horror and amazement... there wasn't.
​
And that was the day I decided to embark on the journey of building an app that would change the game for Freelancers and self-employed people worldwide
