Manifesto

We work, we play, we run things. Our businesses, coffee runs, and sometimes, actual marathons. We are the voice of London’s business babes:

1. We balance work and life: From pitching ideas and upgrading our tech stacks to new fitness classes - we’re navigating it all, one Oyster tap at a time

2. We keep it real: Sharing the wins, the struggles and tough lessons learned. No gatekeeping, sorry

3. We’re explorers: There is a life outside screens & growth never happens inside our comfort zone. Always embracing new experiences - whether it’s discovering London’s hidden gems or pivoting our business plans

4. We weren’t born to work: Not ‘hard workers’ but ‘smart workers’. We value systems, tech & lifestyle products that free up our time so we can actually LIVE

5. We value downtime: Rest is productive. Whether it’s catching up on our favourite shows or hitting up that restaurant you saw on TikTok - we know that fun is important

6. We simplify the business journey: Breaking down big dreams & record-breaking revenue months into practical, actionable advice.

7. We dress for ourselves: Whether it’s heels or trainers, jumpsuits or cargos - comfort and confidence come first - especially when you’re hustling through the Central line at rush hour

8. We celebrate our differences: Diverse perspectives make us stronger & value ideas from those deep into the game, as well as those at the beginning of their journey

9. We are authentic, not aesthetic: We’ll keep it real, raw, and relatable - not polished for the algorithm.

10. We’re our own cheerleaders & each other’s biggest fans: Self-promotion isn’t bragging; it’s honouring our talents and inspiring others. We also shine the spotlight on others as we know a win for one is a win for all

Your girl,
Frances
