Rethink Everything. The Future Demands It. We’re living in a time when business as usual isn’t good enough. If we want a future that thrives, not just survives, we need to start asking bold questions. Not just about what we sell or make, but about what we stand for. It’s time to rethink: What we design What we buy What we share And most of all how we consume Back in 2007, I didn’t have a big team or a big budget. Just a bold idea: What if I could reinvent something as ordinary as a pair of jeans and make it sustainable? Most people said it couldn’t be done. That you need big machines, harsh chemicals, gallons of water, and industry approval. But I didn’t want approval, I wanted to see what was truly possible. So I started from scratch. And through trial, error, and relentless purpose, I built something better. 10 Principles That Changed Everything This isn’t just about denim, it’s about redesigning systems. Here’s the approach I used to prove what’s possible: 1. Start from the ground up – Redesign the process, not just the product. 2. Choose conscious materials – If it harms people or the planet, rethink it. 3. Minimize impact at every step – From stitching to shipping. 4. Cut the carbon – Sustainability isn’t optional anymore. 5. Ditch the toxins – Push for cleaner alternatives. 6. Obsess over the small stuff – Every detail tells your values. 7. Work with purpose – Know why you started, and don’t let go. 8. Solve one challenge at a time – Small wins build big movements. 9. Find your tribe – Speak to the changemakers who want more. 10. Tell your story – Not to impress, but to inspire. They said one person couldn’t make a dent. But the truth? Change always starts with someone who sees the world not as it is, but as it could be. Are you ready to redefine what’s possible? ♻️ Repost to impact others ➕ Follow Sara Simmonds for more Book in your 1-1 founder strategy call here: https://lnkd.in/dtiNbpJZ Or Join me LIVE Masterclass on 24th July, where I will share the 5 shifts you need to take to become a number 1 change maker in your niche. https://lnkd.in/dqNVxTFy Together, let’s build the future on purpose.

"Get comfortable being uncomfortable." The first time I heard those words, something shifted in me. Not just in how I thought, but in how I showed up. For my work. For my purpose. For my impact. Today, I want to invite you to lean into the thing that makes you the most uncomfortable. Because that exact feeling the tightness, the resistance, the fear is a clue. It’s a doorway to transformation. Here’s My Discomfort List - the real stuff I used to hide from: Let this inspire you to uncover your own. Showing off Waiting on replies Reaching higher Facing my truth Accepting my truth Choosing hard mountains Answering direct questions when others don’t open up Uncertainty Jumping into the unknown Growing beyond what I think I can handle When I met my mentor, he said: "Sara, you’re the real deal. Stop trying to be someone else. Just be you." That changed everything. It gave me permission to stop hiding behind what I thought I should be… And lean fully into who I am. That’s why I’m passionate about mentoring other founders. Not to change them, but to help them see their real power. To help them get comfortable being uncomfortable. Because once you do that… "Showing off" becomes sharing your wisdom. "Waiting on replies" becomes creating more leads. "Reaching higher" becomes breaking through emotional ceilings. "Facing your truth" becomes liberation. "Jumping into the unknown" becomes trusting yourself. "Uncertainty" becomes betting on your own vision. So here’s my challenge to you: 👉 What are you ready to get comfortable being uncomfortable with in 2025? Drop it in the comments or DM me, let’s create breakthroughs together. ♻️ Repost to impact others ➕ Follow Sara Simmonds for more Book in your 1-1 founder strategy call here: https://lnkd.in/dtiNbpJZ Or Join me LIVE Masterclass on 10th July, where I will share the 5 shifts you need to take to become a number 1 change maker in your niche. https://lnkd.in/dqNVxTFy Together, let’s build the future on purpose.

9 Ways to Stop Doubting Yourself (Read in 30 Seconds) Whether you’re changing 1 life or 1 billion You’re here to lead with impact. So why do we still hesitate? It’s not the strategy. Not the tools. It’s the little voice inside. The one that says: “Play smaller.” “Not yet.” “Stay safe.” What it actually is: The voice never fully goes away. But you can build a new relationship with it. That’s what I did. By making the mindset work as important as business work. Hiking, dancing, cooking, and reflecting. I ask myself daily: What does my inner voice need to hear? What is she afraid of? What does she wish I were doing? Because the moment you create alignment with your inner world — Your leadership multiplies. So here are 9 tools I give myself daily (and share with my team & clients): You’re not alone → Find your tribe Your mission is valid → No one can take that from you Lead from purpose → People are listening Act from power → Stop overthinking Read like a pro → 30 books/year = elite mindset Invest in growth → It compounds You’re a pioneer → Own it Trust your gut → It’s never wrong Water your dreams daily → Acorns become trees The alignment you create within? That’s what helps you scale with flow, not force. ♻️ Repost to impact others ➕ Follow Sara Simmonds for more Book in your 1-1 founder strategy call here: https://lnkd.in/dtiNbpJZ Or Join me LIVE Masterclass on 10th July, where I will share the 5 shifts you need to take to become a number 1 change maker in your niche. https://lnkd.in/dqNVxTFy Together, let’s build the future on purpose.

I Was Afraid of Money Until I Took It Back I wasn’t scared of having money. I was scared of what I’d been told about it. That it wasn’t “for me.” That money talk was for people who “get it” People who speak spreadsheet. Who know what “margins” are. Who seem wired for finance. I wasn’t one of them. So, like many, I stepped aside. Let others “handle it.” Avoided the numbers. Hoped things would work out. But here’s what no one tells you: When you hand over your financial power, You also hand over your outcomes. You don’t get what you need. You get what someone else thinks is enough. Eventually, the fear of staying small outweighed the fear of getting involved. So I leaned in. I learned what profit really means. I stopped closing my eyes to the financials. I built a framework that gave me clarity and confidence. And with that, something shifted: Not just in my business, but in how I showed up. And soon, I began helping other founders do the same. It all starts with your Hero Offer That one thing you do exceptionally well that people truly value. When you focus there: -> Your profits rise -> Your energy returns -> Your business feels aligned It’s not about being a financial expert. It’s about taking ownership of your role in your business success. Today, I coach purpose-driven entrepreneurs who want to build brands that are profitable, intentional, and sustainable. So if money feels scary? That’s okay. But let me tell you something real: Money can feel like freedom. It all begins the moment you decide to face it. ♻️ Repost to help others ➕ Follow Sara Simmonds for more Book in your 1-1 founder strategy call here: https://lnkd.in/dtiNbpJZ Or Join me LIVE Masterclass on 26th June, where I will share the 5 shifts you need to take to become a number 1 change maker in your niche. https://lnkd.in/dqNVxTFy Together, let’s build the future on purpose.

Why Doing Less Made Me More Productive at 40 Than I Ever Was at 30 In 1997, Apple was on the brink of collapse. Steve Jobs had just 90 days to turn the company around. How did he do it? He focused on less, not more. He asked his team one simple question: 👉 “Which Apple product would you recommend to your friends?” Silence followed. That silence revealed everything. Clarity was missing. That principle, less is more is the foundation of the productivity strategies I live by today. Here are the 9 Productivity Hacks I wish I had known a decade earlier. These will help you scale faster, work smarter, and make a greater impact. 1. Less is More Get laser-focused. Do fewer things, but do them better. Stop trying to do everything. Instead, hyper-focus on your highest-value clients and deliver a tailored, human experience in a world of automation. 2. Focus on People Who Truly Value You Say no more often. Stop pleasing everyone. Your energy is limited, invest it where it compounds: with people who see your worth and are aligned with your vision. 3. Master SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) The quickest way to scale is to make your process teachable. Start small, even a spreadsheet works. Document what you do. Enable your team to scale without you. 4. Productise Your Expertise Take your skills, insights, and creativity, and turn them into a repeatable, high-impact offer. This is how you escape trading time for money. 5. Sell More First. Then Sell Less to More Start with premium, high-value offerings to fewer people. Once you've built credibility and capital, scale down the price and up the reach. Don’t do it the other way around. 6. Build In-House Systems Growth without systems = burnout. Empower your team with tools, autonomy, and trust to operate and grow, even in your absence. 7. Measure What Matters What gets measured gets improved. Attach numbers to your actions, revenue, reach, leads, conversions, results. Data drives clarity and confidence. 8. Be a Changemaker at Scale Lead a movement, not just a business. Use digital platforms to amplify your mission locally and globally. People follow those who believe in something bigger than themselves. 9. Think One-to-Many The fastest way to grow your impact is by shifting from 1:1 to 1:many. Whether it’s through coaching, group programs, courses, or communities, scale your voice. ♻️ Repost to help others ➕ Follow Sara Simmonds for more Book in your 1-1 founder strategy call here: https://lnkd.in/dtiNbpJZ Or Join me LIVE Masterclass on 26th June, where I will share the 5 shifts you need to take to become a number 1 change maker in your niche. https://lnkd.in/dqNVxTFy Together, let’s build the future on purpose.

The 13 Decision Filters of High-Impact Founders But Impact Leaders? They make 5X that. Because they’re not just making decisions for profit. They’re making decisions that balance: Growing people Growing the business And growing themselves This is what sustainable success looks like where profit meets purpose. But the hard truth: If you want to build a legacy not just a business, the decisions you make each day matter more than ever. I know this firsthand. I used to have huge dreams: to reach people at scale, to make real impact. But no matter what solution I tried, the momentum would stall. One new strategy after another… but the results never lasted. Until I realized: My power as a founder wasn’t in doing more. It was in deciding better. And once I started making decisions through the lens of my legacy, everything changed. Here are 13 powerful decision filters I now use and share with my clients to make smarter, faster, legacy-aligned choices every day: 1. Is this a wise use of my time? Build systems so your business scales beyond you. 2. Does this create both income and impact? Profit-only models won’t survive conscious consumerism. 3. Does this energize me or drain me? Say no to anything (or anyone) that pulls you out of alignment. 4. Will this help me scale? Shift from custom to scalable solutions. 5. Does this move me forward? Progress = growth. Growth = joy. 6. Will my team feel more empowered? Happy leader, happy culture. 7. Will this improve the lives of those I serve? Shortcuts kill trust. Play the long game. 8. Does this reflect what makes us different? If you're blending in, it’s time to recalibrate. 9. Is this delivering time, money, AND impact ROI? Legacy is built on the triple bottom line. 10. What hidden costs come with this? Chaos in your systems? That’s a tax you can’t afford. 11. Does this reflect the true value of what we do? Discounting your worth is a decision too. 12. Does this make us more inclusive? The future is collaborative, not exclusive. 13. Will this get me closer to my 10-year vision? Zoom out. Choose accordingly. Every single one of us is here for a reason. If you're ready to shift from decision fatigue to decision clarity... If you're ready to finally scale your impact AND your income... Then it’s time for a new strategy. ♻️ Repost to impact others ➕ Follow Sara Simmonds for more Book in your 1-1 founder strategy call here: https://lnkd.in/dtiNbpJZ Or Join me LIVE Masterclass on 26th June, where I will share the 5 shifts you need to take to become a number 1 change maker in your niche. https://lnkd.in/dqNVxTFy Together, let’s build the future on purpose.

What $100M Taught Me About Hidden Power Let me start with one of my favourite mantras: "My Unique Power is Unlocking Your Unique Power." That belief has guided me since my very first job selling shoes. Even then, I was helping people find the perfect fit, something that not only suited their needs but also expressed their individuality. Fast forward to today, and the principle remains the same. Just like you, your business has a Unique Power, and when you uncover it, you don’t just grow… you transform. After graduating top of my class in Consumer Buying Behaviour, I spent more than a decade immersed in retail innovation as a: Product Innovator Product Curator Head Buyer I worked with some of the world’s most influential retailers, leading departments worth over $100 million. My mission? Help them sell more, waste less — by unlocking the true power of their products and brand. By aligning each business with its core strengths, the unique vision of its founder, and the distinct value of its offer, we consistently increased sales, built stronger connections with customers, and eliminated inefficiencies. So, How Do You Discover Your Unique Power? Here are my Top 5 Strategies that you can start using today: Listen to what others say YOU do brilliantly. (Hint: This is often where your natural genius lives.) Pay attention to what people say your BUSINESS does brilliantly. (This is your value as seen from the outside.) Review your sales data what are people consistently buying? (Sales don’t lie they spotlight what you’re already great at.) Find the common thread across these three areas. (That’s your sweet spot. Your Unique Power.) Now, start owning it. Share it. Lead with it. (Because the world needs what only you can offer.) Also, here’s a bonus habit that has helped me and many others: Journal every day — not what went wrong, but what you did RIGHT. We live in a culture that tends to focus on mistakes. But your Unique Power lies in what you already do brilliantly. If I could leave you with one idea, it's this: Unlocking your Unique Power isn’t about becoming someone else it’s about seeing, owning, and amplifying what’s already within you. You’re closer than you think. Let’s unleash it. ♻️ Repost to impact others ➕ Follow Sara Simmonds for more Book in your 1-1 founder strategy call here: https://lnkd.in/dtiNbpJZ Or Join me LIVE Masterclass on 26th June, where I will share the 5 shifts you need to take to become a number 1 change maker in your niche. https://lnkd.in/dqNVxTFy Together, let’s build the future on purpose.

How I Stopped Contributing to 92 Million Tonnes of Textile Waste Each Year For years, I was part of the fast fashion engine. Designing, buying, and innovating for the world’s biggest brands — Season after season. Year after year. I told myself it was creativity. Growth. Success. Until one day, I saw this: The Fast Fashion Graveyard. Piles of clothes, never worn. Mountains of waste, growing by the minute. And I realised I wasn’t just building brands. I was helping build a crisis. The truth hit me hard: This isn’t just about fashion. It’s happening across everything we consume: Food. Beauty. Health. Home. Packaging. Textiles. If we work in these sectors We are all responsible. For the waste. For the damage. For the impact. That day, I chose the red pill. I stopped turning a blind eye. I chose to become conscious. Because we don’t need more. We need better. I still love beautiful things. I still believe in the power of shopping. But only when it’s done consciously. We are in a race to net zero. And now is the time to ask: Are you still creating just for the sake of creating? Or are you building with intention and impact? If you are conscious, are you also clear? Clear on the impact you're making? Clear on what needs to change? Because once you are conscious and clear, You can unlock a level of positive impact you’ve never reached before. So I ask you: If you could change just one thing today To reduce harm, or create more good What would it be? Comment below or DM me. I'm here to help you turn your vision into action. Alone we are powerful. Together, we are unstoppable. ♻️ Repost to impact others ➕ Follow Sara Simmonds for more Book in your 1-1 founder strategy call here: https://lnkd.in/dtiNbpJZ Or Join me LIVE Masterclass on 10th July, where I will share the 5 shifts you need to take to become a number 1 change maker in your niche. https://lnkd.in/dqNVxTFy Together, let’s build the future on purpose.

How to Get Ahead of 99% of People (Without Wasting 10 Years Like I Did) I spent a decade and over $100,000 chasing experts, advice, and answers only to discover the one thing that actually works. A system. Not just any system, but one that helps you stand out and scale with clarity and confidence. Here’s what most people don’t tell you: 99% of entrepreneurs are stuck because they don’t have a clear, repeatable framework for growth. And 99% of “experts” can’t actually help you grow because they don’t have a proven system either. This morning, one of the members of my Impact Innovator Mastermind messaged me: “The clarity we have is all down to you. I've never felt so confident in business.” That wasn’t always the case for me. I used to feel lost, constantly second-guessing myself, spending money on consultants, trying shiny new strategies that never stuck. They all sounded smart. But when it came to results? Nothing. Until one day, it clicked: Most people aren't smarter. They're just better at sounding confident. What they lacked and what I built was a system for clarity, differentiation, and momentum. Here’s what I created and now teach: 1. A system to discover your Unique Purpose and become a category leader 2. A system to craft a Hero Offer that sells and scales 3. A system to grow Organic Influence and be seen as a thought leader 4. A system to generate Organic Sales without paid ads or funnels When I implemented these, everything changed for me and for my clients. Some added $1 Million in revenue within a year. The game-changer? I stopped guessing and started building everything around simple, effective systems. So if you want to move faster, here’s what I recommend: Build simple, repeatable systems Learn from mentors who walk the talk (with systems to back it up) Invest in yourself without hesitation, but only in people who have proof These three steps helped me and my clients grow 10x in 12 months.

The Breakthrough That Doubled My Business Every Year: Saying What Others Won’t I used to hold back. Waited until things were perfect. Until the product was polished. Until I knew every word was right before I opened my mouth. Sound familiar? It’s a trap many innovators fall into refining, tweaking, obsessing… and not selling. The truth? I was hiding behind the idea of “getting it right.” Then something shifted. I realised: the people who grow fast aren’t the ones with flawless pitches, they’re the ones who start the conversation. Even if it’s messy. Even if it’s not ready. So I stopped trying to sound perfect. I stopped trying to look like the expert. I started showing up as someone who genuinely wanted to help. I said things like: -> “I don’t have all the ESG answers.” -> “What I do have is a way to make it relevant to customers.” -> “Let’s make it understandable—and sellable.” This honesty changed everything. Clients didn’t want polish. They wanted clarity. They wanted direction. A roadmap. A simple system. And that’s what I gave them. I laid out my 15-year framework for sustainable, ad-free growth. I helped them cut the fluff, focus their message, and build trust fast. And growth followed. Industries from snowboarding to skincare to e-commerce started applying the Game Plan. Why? Because people trust what they can understand. Here’s what I’ve learned: - Transparency outperforms perfection. - Simplicity is your best sales tool. - Being real builds unstoppable momentum.
