Overwhelmed and struggling – this is for you! AKA My Tuscan Existential Crisis 

This is for you if life and business is feeling a bit overwhelming at the moment.

If Imposter Syndrome is running the show and you feel like you don’t belong.

If you’re even questioning your purpose and having a small existential crisis.

This is for you – we’re going there with the big questions today.

How to show up when you really really really don't want to 

Sometimes it just isn't happening.

Sometimes you can't muster the energy to show up for your business, even though you know you should.

Even if you love your work, love your clients, even if there is no real reason you shouldn't show up and have fun doing it...

... your mojo seems to have left the building.

This conversation is directly for these times.

Here are my top tips of how to show up regardless - properly - not just phoning it in.

Overwhelmed and frustrated? This coaching model will help

One of the biggest problems women come to me with is overwhelm.

Female entrepreneurs still feel a massive pressure to be Superwoman, to hold all the things, to juggle a million balls and to prove they can have it all.

And the truth us, most of the time they're smashing it.

But just sometimes, this can tip into overwhelm. Into a to-do list of competing priorities, all urgent.

Into the final straw that breaks the camel's back, and makes them feel like just giving up.

Into procrastination, and wasting time on low-value tasks.

In today's conversation, I'm going to teach you how to take back CONTROL of your day.

Are you letting Derek ruin your business?

Are you letting Derek ruin your business?

Fear of 'Derek' is one of the biggest blockers I see to women creating the business they dream of.

It stops them saying what they really want to say, and sharing what they really want to share.

It makes them tone down their voice, apologise for their opinion and find excuses not to press 'post' or do that video.

It’s that fear that Derek is going to show up and troll them.

This makes me so mad, and so let's talk about it.

The Robot Dance Off & The Worst Stage Fright Ever

It was one of those moments you remember forever, and is quite a funny story.

If you've got 5 minutes and a brew, let me tell you the tale...

The no. 1 thing you need to focus on in your business in September

August is a funny month - the perfect storm of wanting to make magical moments with the kids, trying to fit work into too few hours, nobody’s around so things are going slower and not enough time to keep yourself sane.

And so your thoughts turn to September, and looking towards the final quarter of the year.

- How am I going to have a big finish?

- How can I smash my financial and business goals?

- What shall I do to focus my efforts and exceed all expectations?

- Plus lose the half a stone I put on during the holidays?

This conversation is all about the ONE thing you should be focusing on in your business in September.

This one thing is Authentic Visibility.

The dreaded wobbles when running a business

The dreaded wobbles when running a business

Can we talk about the wobbles?

They're part of the price of doing business, and every entrepreneur has self-doubts and moments where they think they're not cut out for this.

Moments where you feel frustrated that you're not as successful (wealthy) as you'd like to be, and you're so tempted to give up and get a JOB.

Conventional wisdom says to fake it until you make it, and push on through.

I wholeheartedly DISAGREE with this, and in this conversation I'm going to tell you why.

Are you self sabotaging?
podcast, Audacity Claire Ackers podcast, Audacity Claire Ackers

Are you self sabotaging?

Today I’d like to open up the topic of self-sabotage.

If you self-sabotage, you might say things like:

Why do I always mess things up?

Of course that wouldn’t last, it wasn’t the right time

I knew they’d made the wrong choice, picking me

I knew I shouldn’t celebrate that thing, I’ve totally jinxed it

Today’s conversation is all about that self-sabotage – why we do it, what it might look like for you, and some real life case studies from clients.

How to figure out your mission (and what to do if you don’t feel worthy)

How to figure out your mission and purpose... (and what to do if you don’t feel worthy of that)

I'm fresh back from adventuring in the Lake District in my camper van, and full of renewed vigour for my mission and purpose.

In this conversation I'm going to share with you exactly how I come up with my personal mission for my business - including the exact questioning sequence.

And if you feel the Imposter Syndrome rising when you think about whether you're worthy or good enough for that mission and purpose, I'm going to help you break away from that too.
