What does it actually look like to build a business led by intuition, aligned action, and a deep sense of self-trust? In this episode, I’m joined by Victoria Jackson, one of the UK’s leading manifestation and mindset coaches, an EFT practitioner, chart-topping podcast host, and the founder of The Collective—a digital resort where members arrive as they are and check out as their Future Selves, to explore the real inner work behind sustainable success.Victoria shares how she learned to treat “failure” as data, why your thoughts shape your business more than you realise, and what happens when you start making decisions as your future self. We talk about navigating rejection wounds, stabilisation seasons, capacity, and the emotional realities most entrepreneurs never speak about publicly.She also opens up about rebuilding her membership into a digital resort, setting boundaries that protect both her wellbeing and her community, and the manifestation story that led to her becoming a three-time author.This conversation is part of our CEO Series on the Honest Business Podcast, where we sit down with inspiring founders to uncover what it really looks like to lead and grow a business on your own terms.Key Points:Failing isn’t real, it’s just data (01:27)Thoughts, self-concept + business outcomes (02:25)Making decisions as your future self (19:26)Why stabilisation seasons matter (33:55)Reimagining The Collective as a digital resort (56:04)Boundaries, capacity + protecting your energy (01:01:00)The manifestation story behind book three (43:17)Connect with Victoria:Instagram: @themanifestationcollectivePodcast: The Manifestation CollectiveWebsite: themanifestationcollective.coConnect with May on...Instagram https://www.instagram.com/may.james_/LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/maylaurajames/Website https://www.mayjames.com
