What's YOUR role when your success is inevitable?
Have you ever done the exercise where you look at the big picture vision you have for your business and identify the person you need to be to achieve that?While this is a valuable exercise, because we can’t wait until after we achieve "the thing" to be the version of the person who is able to achieve it (as that just doesn’t make sense)I feel there’s a flaw or missing piece in the exercise that makes it harder for us to ‘be that version’ now, which in turn ma...

How to have clients AND freedom in your business with special guest Michelle Vroom
I loved this chat with my guest, Michelle Vroom, about a topic that’s so important to so many of us when we start our own business And that’s not only maintaining a feeling of freedom in business, but actually experiencing freedom, whilst still getting clients / making money (and all the businessy things)! Michelle is a business coach who believes that we as entrepreneurs should be able to get clients whenever we want and she uses her background in marketing and PR to help small business owners do just that, and gr...

Let’s get real about what it takes (and what it doesn’t) to build an online business
In this episode, I’m talking about something I see A LOT when people start their own business, particularly if they come from a regular 9-5 / corporate background And that’s the feeling or belief that there MUST be a direct link between hard work and ‘success’ and that, therefore, working harder MUST be necessary to achieve more. The bottom line is that, the way we’ve been conditioned to think about work in western society doesn’t help us easily transition to entrepreneurship and particularly not when it comes to the need to th...
