Don't f**king tell me what to wear or how to run my business
"Don't F*ing Tell Me What to Wear or How to Run My Business" is a brand new, zero bullsh*t podcast from Wendy Gannon (aka 'wo0'). This is for women who are done with being told how to act, dress, or run their businesses (and lives). Wendy, a professional photographer with nearly two decades of experience, brings you real, unfiltered conversations with women who've lived through and overcome sexism, abuse, and everything the patriarchy has thrown at them. Expect inspiring guests, women championing women, a LOT of swearing (too many for the producer to bother censoring!) and most importantly, stories that will make you laugh and cry in equal amounts. Subscribe and be part of the movement of women saying "we will wear what the f*ck we want, we will say what the f*ck we want, and we will run our f*cking businesses the way we f*cking want."

50 Cent is my actual hero. 

If you don’t know much about the legendary petty troll, here’s a few things he’s done to people he doesn’t like. 

He bought the front 4 rows at Ja Rule concert so he would be performing to empty seats. Extra kicker - he bought them on Groupon and paid pittance.

Now he absolutely hates PDiddyphile and always has (good judge of character or what?)…

The Pdo hired a videographer at the beginning of his case to document everything…but because he didn’t win, he didn’t pay. Crook. 

It’s ok though, he didn’t lose out because Fiddy took the tapes off his hands. 

Fiddy notoriously doesn’t speak to the news…however he’s breaking his silence and working with ABC News…because that’s the only channel that’s played in prison.

Have you heard anything as epically petty?

I learnt a long time ago that who you surround yourself with can literally make or break you. 

Spending time getting rid of the negative and toxic people from my life is the best thing I could have ever done. 

Whether they be friends, colleagues, family or partners, people can drag you down and stifle your wonderousnesses. 

I took photos at a Women in Finance event recently, and it was so utterly inspiring. 

Tanya Elmaz (and her brilliant team) put the event on and getting to watch my favourite speaker, Jo P., and listen in on real conversations was a real privilege. 

These are the kind of women that lift you up. Support you. Advise you. Laugh with you. Tell you you’re being a knob when you’re being a knob. 

I’m proud to also be one of those women. 

I’m fiercely in your corner, cheerleading, building, advising, strategising. 

If you need to find good people to help you and your business, I’m right here x

You: But you only work with women who already have it together
Me: You’re joking right?
You: No. Just look at them. Confident female founders, great offers, scroll stopping photos. 
Me: Babe, they are that way BECAUSE they worked with me. They were just like you!
You: But I’m not ready. 
Me: You’re the only one standing in your way. 

Imagine if you didn’t. 

Imagine if you messaged me today and you became one of those people you’re talking about. 

Xx

You can make all the excuses you want…budget, Christmas, new moon in Scorpio. 

Business is HARD. 

I’ve been told not to talk about the struggles I have in my business because it stops people wanting to buy from you. 

Screw that. IT’S REALLY HARD. 

You’re running this on your own. You really REALLY care about the people you work with. You’re EXCEPTIONALLY good at what you do. You’re THE most genuine, open, supportive person. You literally change people’s lives, and yet you’ve not sold a photoshoot this month. Add ADHD to the mix and you’re not sure how you’re going to pay your rent in a few days. 

It was all going so well until 2 people pull out of shoots and 3 monthly subscriptions finish at the same time 🤦🏻‍♀️ 

I don’t even know what I’m writing any more. 

This is ‘wake up worried at 3am and try to write a really good post that someone will see and have to buy immediately’ content. 

And beating yourself up over it certainly won’t bloody help - stupid brain. 

Anyway I guess the moral of the story is - Not everything always goes right and that’s just a shit. But we all go through it, and if you’re resonating, I see you. It’s going to be alright, Treacle, I promise x

Pic of Arber the Amazing, because I need that sunshine today x

Someone said to me the other day that people hire me because I’m me…it’s a bonus they get such amazing photos. 

At first I found that really awkward. 

But now I’m like…

Yeah.

I’m an absolute pleasure to be around, I’m hilarious, I’m a chaotic ball of wonderful and I pass it on to you. 

No awkward in front of the camera.
No worried about what people think.
Just a full day of fun and laughter, with bonus photos at the end. 

I’ve had a couple of shoots postponed so have some space before Christmas. 

They ain’t gonna be here for long, so get into my DM’s and let’s GO!x

So yesterday we talked about a short, round, hairy, chode owning, saucy screen star. 

Someone who is unapologetically themself in all aspects of the word. 

And look where it’s got him. 

(Yeah I get that he’s a certain demographic, but we’re taking what’s ours now, OK?)

So how do YOU do that…and how do you do that with ME?

Well it’s simple really. 

We talk. We build our relationship. We gain trust and we get down omelette. 

And when I say I rub off on you, I’m not taking a leaf out of Mr Jeremy’s top shelf read. 

Once you’re ready (and it doesn’t take long), we start building what your business, brand and photos look like. 

My brain starts sparking before we’ve even spoken…I have ALL the ideas. 

(In fact I have ideas for loads of you on here that will probably never book me.)

I have this gift (it’s diagnosed) of giving confidence, growing business,  looking at things at a higher level, and after all of that, capturing your essence. 

I might minge about on here, but I am all in with you. And I take my work very seriously, even though we laugh…a LOT.

Why haven’t you DM’d me yet?

Pic - A gorgeous pale skinned woman with long red hair is sat on the arm of a black leather sofa and wearing a green sequinned jacket, blue jeans and white cowboy boots. 

This is what she said about me:

‘From the minute we met, it felt like I'd known her forever. She's one of those rare people who brings her whole heart and soul into what she does and you can see that in her photos.’

I’m offering £1000 off two photoshoots for today only. 

That’s it. 

That’s your best Black Friday offer

https://lnkd.in/eKgnSrHF

I know you’re telling yourself all these things to stop you from stepping out of your comfort zone. 

Well let me address some of them right now…

‘I don’t have the confidence’ - That’s why we work on that together and build it up so you ARE ready. 

‘I’m not photogenic’ - Total crap! I will not only take photos of you that you like…you’ll bloody love them and want more. 

‘People will look at me while we’re on the shoot’ - Not that I’m making this all about me, but when you see a middle aged, overweight woman, sweating and groaning when she gets off the floor, they ain’t worried about your gorgeous self. 

‘But I’m not gorgeous’ - YES YOU ARE

‘I don’t need photos’ - You’re massively mistaken. Good imagery is crucial for your business and brand if you want to stand out against your competitors. 

‘I don’t know how to pose’ - Of course you don’t! Why would you if you’ve never done this? I will guide you through everything

I’ll have a response for every one of your concerns. 

If you want to know who what why where and how, slide into my DMs and I’ll explain all…it’s more than just photos over here. 

What other excuses can you come up with?

SHENANIGANS is not only my favourite word, but my favourite thing to do.

And trust me, we can get up to all sorts of shenanigans on your shoot.

And no matter WHAT

We will be laughing our mammories off for most of the day making you super relaxed.

Oh, you're worried about people looking at you weird?

Trust me babes, they're going to be too focused on me rolling around on the floor to worry about you just standing there.

It's not all about you.

JOKES IT IS ALL ABOUT YOU!!

BECAUSE YOU'RE WONDERFUL AND WE'RE GOING TO SHOW THE WORLD!

I'm giving you permission to be yourself in your business...and that starts with your photos.

Now do the running man into my DM's and let's get down, let's get down to business x

Look, I love you from the tip of your head to the depths of your quim

And you’re literally the reason I get to live this gorgeous life (yeah I did the work, you know what I mean…stop being anal)

But it’s not enough

Text and screens and algorithms aren’t enough for me. 

I need more. 

I need to talk to your actual face and look at your actual skin and smell your actual smell. 

Since I moved to Gillingham I haven’t been to any networking events that I haven’t worked at…I miss it!

I used to meet people weekly in London, but it’s not as easy here so my brain says NOPE!

I’d like to go to some around here but I’d need them recommended to me because, well, I’m me!

And I’m the same me at a business thing as I am at not business thing. 

None of this ‘pretending to be professional’ malarkey. 

If you’re showing up like I do too, then bloody well done!

You’re attracting your ideal client and charging your worth, as well as not trying to be someone else (arghhh the weight of that I do not miss). 

If you’re not there yet, don’t worry, DM me and I’ll get you sorted. 

I’ll literally turn your life, business and mindset around…and take photos of your essence to go with it. 

Hands up, who’s first?

(Real networking reccos please -  where do you go? Who do you go with? What do you do?)

Worried that you’ll be too scared or awkward in front of the camera?

So did Jo, and now look at her!

Some photographers don’t give you direction - I do. 

Some photographers don’t sit with you for hours to build trust - I do. 

Some photographers don’t work with you to build your confidence - I do

All of these things (plus me just being a completely hilarious and chaotic human) make for a day where you not only DON’T feel awkward, shy or scared…you’ll bloody love it and want to do it again. 

It happens every time. 

So stop stressing and DM me. Xx

Big things will happen in 2026, mark my words. 

And if you’re not investing in yourself and your business, you’re going to get left behind. 

No ifs, no buts, that’s just how it is. 

I’ve seen people stay in the same place, but also go backwards…from putting loads of time and effort in, to becoming stagnant. 

Potential clients are watching and it’s not making them get their chequebook (we should bring them back) out. 

I’ve invested loads in myself this year, and I’ve already signed up to work with two different coaches next year. 

If you’re not working to improve, what’s the actual point?

What are your growth plans next year?

Pic - A dark skinned woman is wearing a black and white tulle skirt with a white jacket. She’s sat on stairs with orange, blue and yellow lights going up the stairwell behind her. She’s worked her butt off improving herself and growing her business, and is now reaping the rewards. What. A. Legend.

Helping 9-5 pros build their Corporate Offramp | Land 1st client in a 1-person business you control

You’ve outgrown your 9–5. 
Now what? 

You’ve built a solid career. Maybe even a great one. But lately… 

The Sunday scaries hit a little harder.
You keep wondering, “Is this really it?”

You don’t hate your job. You’ve just outgrown it. And the money is the only part that serves you. 

You’ve done everything right.
But you still feel boxed in by meetings, org charts, and the constant anxiety of “restructuring.”

You know your skills are worth more – but no one’s shown you how to turn them into something of your own.

You're not trying to blow up your life.
You just want to know it’s possible.

The real risk isn’t leaving your job.

It’s staying just long enough that the comfort…

Becomes overwhelming.

People frame risk as walking away from stability. But stability’s not real. Just ask the people who thought they were ‘safe’ at Amazon or Microsoft.

The real danger is slower. Quieter.

You start caring a little less. You’re no longer motivated by what you're doing. You move through your days on autopilot.

You get lulled into sleep. Unsure what even makes you feel alive anymore.

You let people steal your time with fake urgency and pointless meetings.
You tell yourself you’ll make a move when things calm down.

But that moment never comes.

I remember when it started happening to me. The pay got better. The hours eased up.

On paper, everything looked fine.

But I didn’t like what the years ahead looked like.

I watched people higher up the ladder still asking permission for the simple things — a doctor’s appointment, a softball game, a random Tuesday.

And I knew if I didn’t draw a line, I might never draw one. I’d wait for the next bonus. Then the next. Then the next.

And 20 years later, I’d be so deep in it that walking away would feel impossible.

That’s how comfort works.
It feels just good enough that you stop questioning it.

Comfort doesn’t just keep you in the job.
It keeps you from becoming the person who’d ever leave it.

It’s a slow slide toward a life you never chose.

I did a breathwork session last week.
Two words kept repeating.
And they stayed with me all week.

Kindness.
Vulnerability.

Two simple words. But they are the difference between forcing connection and creating real connection.

Kindness reminded me that everyone I talk to is carrying something I cannot see.

Clients. Prospects. Friends. Family members.
People on here scrolling through their day.

When I remember that, I show up better. My coaching is better. My conversations are better. My patience is better.

Vulnerability reminded me that the people I trust most are the ones who let me see the full picture.

Not the “everything is amazing” picture.
The human one.

So I am choosing to bring more of that into how I show up here.

And I will start today.

I am going through a breakup.

It has been difficult, but being around family, and keeping my schedule full, helps.
Movement helps. And so does work.

And during that breathwork session, something small set me off, and I realized how much I had been holding.

And yes, for a bit, I pulled back on some things while I got my footing again (work included).

But this experience is giving me something important.

A deeper appreciation for how much our personal lives shape the way we show up in our work.

A deeper understanding of what my clients feel when they are trying to build something while holding the rest of their life together.

And a deeper commitment to lead with kindness and vulnerability in every part of my life. Not just my business.

I want the people who follow my work to feel that they are seen, not judged.

And I want them to know that building a solo business is not separate from real life. It happens inside real life.

Work does not happen in a vacuum. Life does not pause while you build something meaningful. 

Who you are matters just as much (if not more) as what you do.

That breathwork session reminded me of that.

And it marked a change how I plan to show up here moving forward.

My brother’s dog, Norman, always helps too :)

“It’s been four months and I still feel stuck.”
Someone told me this the other day.
Here’s what many underestimate when starting out: 

Just how easy it is to waste time trying to figure everything out on your own. 

And when building while still employed, it’s not helpful to see 15 different paths. All promising places to start, but unsure as to which is most viable. Which leads to revenue fastest. Which has the least speed bumps. 

So what do I see most people do? 

Dabble. Start researching. Build a website. 
Try one thing, then second-guess themselves and switch. 

And four months go by. Then six. Then a year. 

And somewhere quietly in the background, they’re thinking:
“I thought I’d be further along by now.”

Time spent stuck doesn’t just slow you down.
It starts to convince you maybe you weren’t meant for this.

You can figure it out alone. Lots of people do. 
But it usually takes them 18–24 months of guessing, circling, rebuilding, and trying to reverse-engineer the right sequence.

Or…

You get help. You get a map. You talk to someone who’s already walked the road.
And you collapse that timeline down to a fraction of what it would’ve been.

Some of my clients have signed their first client in less time than most people spend thinking about how to start.

Most people don’t fail.
They just run out of time and energy they didn’t know they were burning.

So if you’re four months in and still stuck, nothing’s wrong with you.

You’re most likely trying to navigate a process in the dark that someone could’ve lit up in a single conversation.

The question is no longer:

Can you do it alone?

It’s:

How much is the extra 12–18 months worth to you?
