Hey you wild women!

Shaa Wasmund, MBE, is the author of the number one bestsellers 1) How To Fix Your Sh*t 2) Do Less, Get More and 3) Stop Talking, Start Doing. She has been a lifelong supporter of encouraging more women into business. In 2015, she received an MBE for her services to business and entrepreneurship. She was recently named one of the Top 20 Most Influential Entrepreneurs in the UK by the Sunday Times. Today she runs one of the biggest and most active business Facebook Groups in the UK, The Freedom Collective, and has built a multi-million-pound online business from her back garden...and I have even seen it myself! She once accidentally ran a 12-hour live launch. haha!

Over the last five years Shaa has completely revolutionized how she works, and today she is proudly able to take seventeen weeks' holiday a year.…albeit not all in the Maldives or Marrakesh!
