There’s real value in getting the right people in the room.

Our VAT Workshop Days are designed to turn complex information into practical, relevant guidance for businesses within the medical aesthetic industry.

A space to ask questions, gain clarity and understand what VAT really means for your medical aesthetic clinic not just in theory, but in practice.

Make 2027 the year you feel more informed, more confident and more in control of VAT within your business.

There’s plenty more to come.

Hiring with your heart can cost your business a fortune.

Wanting to help someone does not make them the right person for the job. Friendship does not replace suitability. Trust does not replace proper systems.

The wrong hire can be like someone drilling holes in your boat. You’re busy keeping it afloat, and sometimes you only discover the damage afterwards.

And minimum wage never means minimum cost.

There’s recruitment, training, employer’s National Insurance, pensions, management time and lost productivity. Then there’s the cost of fixing mistakes and recruiting again.

The wage is only the beginning.

That’s why contracts, clear expectations, policies and proper HR support need to be in place from the outset.

And “I only use subcontractors” doesn’t remove the risk.

Calling someone self-employed does not settle their legal status. The reality of how they work matters, and tax status and employment rights are assessed separately. Getting it wrong can mean unpaid tax and National Insurance, alongside potential holiday pay and pension liabilities.

This is why we work with Dawn Hughes. She knows the medical aesthetics sector, has supported our payroll clients for years and understands the people issues that can become expensive business problems.

It’s also why Dawn is joining us at The Eighth Day.

Whether you’re planning your first hire, growing a team or using subcontractors, understand your responsibilities before a problem lands.

Build the protection into your business from day one.

At The Eighth Day, we’re taking a 360 approach to learning. That means thinking about your energy, your focus and how you feel, alongside the practical knowledge you’ll take away.

You’re travelling from miles away, taking time out of your clinic and making arrangements at home to be there. We want you to have the space to arrive properly and get the very best from the day.

Originally, I booked our sound bath to finish with. But after speaking at length with Rachel Woods Lumi Sound Spa Leeds , who will be leading it, we moved it to the beginning.

Rachel has been running sound baths at David Lloyd in North Leeds and across the area for years. She explained that people often tell her they leave feeling more focused, energised and ready to take on the world.

That’s exactly how I want you to feel as we begin.

There’s emerging science around this too. A small study of singing bowl meditation found that people reported less tension and fatigue afterwards. The research is still developing, but it’s an encouraging reason to make space for relaxation.

Connection matters too. It’s part of what women’s circles offer: time to come together, share experiences and feel supported. Research into women’s social relationships highlights the benefits of supportive connections for psychological wellbeing.

When you spend so much of your time being responsible for everyone and everything, being in a room with people who understand can mean a lot.

So we’ll start with coffee, conversation and a little networking, followed by Rachel’s sound bath before we move into the workshops and talks.

Our aim is for you to feel settled, connected and ready to participate, with the energy and headspace to focus on your business.

That’s our 360 approach to learning at The Eighth Day. Practical knowledge, wellbeing, connection and time to put it all into action.

THIS IS MY KNOWLEDGE VAULT.

Some of the resources inside would ordinarily be sold individually.

Some of our guides are £99.

Some of our more specialist resources are £349+.

But this is bigger than a collection of e-books.

It’s the knowledge we’ve accumulated from working inside this industry for over a decade, organised into one continually developing resource.

And when something relevant changes?

The Vault changes too.

That’s the point.

Happy 40th birthday to Ria,

I don’t think you’ll ever quite know how grateful I am to have you in my world. There’s so much I don’t have to explain to you. You just get it. The businesses, motherhood, the pressure, and those days when I’ve had enough and want to sell the lot.

When the s**t hits the fan, you’re always there. No judgement, no conditions. Just you, listening, understanding and somehow making me feel like I can do it all again.

You inspire me more than you know. You’ve kept me going through so much, and I honestly wouldn’t be the person I am today without your friendship.

I’m so proud of you and so honoured to call you my friend. Knowing you call me yours means just as much.

We need a proper catch-up this year. I can’t wait to see where we are this time next year, and I’m so glad we get to keep figuring it all out together.

Love you. Happy 40th birthday.

I’ve spent over a decade learning what it really takes to build, grow and understand a business.

Not just from textbooks. From doing it, getting things wrong, figuring things out, asking the questions and gaining the experience that only comes with time.

And somewhere along the way, I realised just how valuable that knowledge could be to someone else.

So, I decided to put it somewhere.

The Knowledge Vault.

Over a decade of knowledge. One place.

Coming soon.
