Today we’d like to introduce you to Emma Naylor-weston
Hi Emma, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Yes absolutely! I am Londoner based in Miami, with my husband and out three animals. I’m passionate about helping women create businesses they love—ones that surpass their corporate earnings and provide the freedom they desire.
With over 10 years of experience in sales leadership and consulting for founders, CEOs, and startups, I’ve mastered the art of unlocking potential and driving business growth.
Throughout my career, I’ve led and built high-performing teams, optimised operations, and developed growth strategies. My focus has consistently been on coaching, training, and implementing sales systems that lead to sustainable success—while helping people reach their full potential and get the best out of themselves.
I have spent the last decade leading and building high-performing teams, driving operational efficiency, and developing growth strategies. My work has focused on coaching and training others to success, while also implementing sales systems and processes that fuel sustainable business growth.
In 2015, My first ‘proper’ job after university was in sales—cold calling 120 times a day, 12 hours a day, six days a week. It was a intense start, but it laid the foundation for my understanding of how to drive results and build resilience.
My journey advanced as I became Head of Client Services at age 24. This was the catalyst to me spending the next decade working with CEOs, founders and starts up to enhance business operations. grow sales teams and achieve sustainable growth. Although I excelled in my roles, I always felt a yearning for more—more freedom, more financial independence, and a greater impact on others.
In 2017, I hit rock bottom. My life felt like a hamster wheel, and I started questioning everything. That year, I got sober, marking the beginning of my deep dive into self-development and transformation. The next two years were filled with growth and exploration—I binge-watched YouTube, devoured podcasts, and took every opportunity to figure out who the f*ck I wanted to be and what I wanted to create.
In 2019, I took the bold step of launching my own consulting firm, leveraging my extensive experience to help others navigate their paths. However, without the clarity and strategy necessary to thrive as a freelancer, I found myself back in a 9-to-5 position.
By January 2021, burnout was overwhelming, and it became clear that I needed to transform my corporate skills into a business that reflected my true aspirations. That year, I made a pivotal decision: I invested in a coach, enrolled in a business coaching program, and became a certified coach myself. Through mindset work, NLP, and strategic planning, I rewired my thinking and successfully launched my business.
Today, I run a six-figure coaching practice as the leading global 9-5 exit strategist, based in Miami, where I guide women to create lives they love while building businesses that exceed their corporate earnings. My mission is to help you achieve freedom and success beyond your wildest dreams.
In the last 4 years I have…
Helped driven women transition from corporate jobs to running businesses that align with their values and provide freedom and financial success.
Coached and consulted from idea to launch, turning their concepts into profitable businesses through clear planning and strategic execution.
Helped women overcome self-doubt and step confidently into their roles as business owners.
Supported women in growing their side hustles into full-time businesses, enabling them to quit their jobs and focus on scaling.
Provided clarity for women unsure of their next steps, helping them create roadmaps to turn their skills into impactful, profitable businesses.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I don’t think any successful journey is ever smooth sailing, and my story isn’t any different!
In 2017, I hit what I can only describe as rock bottom. My life felt like a never-ending hamster wheel—work, sleep, repeat—and despite all my external “success,” I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing. I started questioning everything: Was this really the life I wanted? Was this all there was? That year, I made a decision that changed everything. I got sober. It was the beginning of a transformative journey that completely reshaped my life and mindset.
Sobriety wasn’t just about putting down the wine glass; it was about diving deep into self-development and peeling back the layers of what was holding me back. I spent the next two years fully immersing myself in growth and exploration. I binge-watched every YouTube video I could find on mindset and success, devoured podcasts that inspired me to dream bigger, and asked myself the hard questions about who I really wanted to be and what I wanted to create in this world.
Those two years weren’t easy, but they made me more determined than ever. I realised I was done settling for a life that felt like it belonged to someone else. I was working a good job with a solid salary, but even that felt like a trap—a golden cage. I knew that if I wanted the freedom and fulfilment I craved, I’d have to make bold moves.
So, I burned it all down. I left the comfort of my 9-5, walked away from the “safe” path, and went all in on building something of my own. It wasn’t just about leaving a job; it was about reclaiming my life and aligning it with my values, passions, and purpose. That decision—to bet on myself—has been the most challenging and rewarding journey of my life.
It’s proof that sometimes the biggest obstacles become the greatest catalysts for transformation. It’s not easy to walk away from what’s comfortable, but it’s so worth it when you realise the life you’re capable of creating.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
I am the leading Global 9-5 Exit Strategist for high-achieving women who are ready to break free from the corporate grind and create a life of freedom and fulfillment. I specialize in helping my clients transform their existing 9-5 skills into profitable, purpose-driven businesses that align with their values and aspirations.
With over a decade of experience managing and leading teams in industries like real estate, finance, tech, and the online space, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with founders, CEOs, and business leaders. This has given me unique insight into what truly matters to high-level professionals: the desire for freedom, financial independence, and work that feels meaningful. I’ve walked that journey myself—from thriving in a corporate sales and training role to building a life and business that allows me to live on my own terms.
What sets my coaching apart is the high-touch, personalised support I provide. Every offering I have is designed to meet my clients exactly where they are, from my 1-hour strategy sessions to my comprehensive year-long coaching programs. My approach is built around proximity and accountability. I work closely with my clients to ensure they have the clarity, strategy, and confidence to transition out of their 9-5 roles and into businesses that allow them to create the lives they’ve always dreamed of.
I am most proud to be recognized as the go-to strategist for high-level women ready to turn their ambitions into reality. My brand is built on empowering women to realize they already have what it takes to create a six-figure business—they don’t need a whole new skill set or an MBA. They need a clear plan, the right mindset, and someone to walk with them through the process.
If there’s one thing I want your readers to know, it’s that the life of freedom and fulfillment they crave isn’t out of reach—it’s closer than they think. Whether they’re just starting to explore entrepreneurship or are ready to go all in, I’m here to help them design a business and life that works for them, on their terms.
Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
I want your readers to know that you don’t need to acquire an entirely new skill set to start a successful business. The skills you’ve developed in your 9-5—whether it’s leadership, problem-solving, communication, or strategy—are more than enough to build a thriving six-figure business. It’s all about recognising your value and leveraging what you already know. And let me tell you this: it’s never too late to make the leap. Whether you’re 25 or 55, the right time to start creating the freedom-filled life you’ve been dreaming of is always now.”
