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 just planning on just surviving through October? Listen to this
"I just want to get through it"
"I'm planning on surviving it"
How do you feel about October?
I've had the above comments a few times this week and so wanted to address them.
Often when we're overwhelmed and getting stuck in the weeds, we lose sight of the big dream and just concentrate on the day to day.
This is a huge problem, because you end of having about 10% of the impact you could be having, and end up feeling rubbish and lost.
OR you might be doing incredible things - they're ALL high value and high stakes - but you're so stretched and desperate to get it right - you're not enjoying and celebrating your success.
Do you believe in the win win?
I just had the most incredible conversation with a friend and fellow female entrepreneur - I got so inspired and dashed straight on here to tell you about it!
If you're in need of some mojo today - check this out!
The Robot Dance Off & The Worst Stage Fright Ever
The Robot Dance Off & The Worst Stage Fright Ever
Last night I had a flashback to this time last year, where I was faced with one of the most panic-inducing, stage fright triggering, all-the-visibility-fears situations.
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 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?
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.
Your Essential Standards
Today I'm talking to you about Essential Standards - one of my favourite topics.
If you’re constantly firefighting in your business, working on low-value stuff or people-pleasing with clients - this is for you.
If you're frustrated by your results or lack clarity or focus, this is for you.
Or if you want a surefire strategy to show up as your highest and best self every single day, this is for you.
Why female founders fail (and how not to be one of them)
Today I'm talking to you about why female founders fail (and how not to be one of them)
I've been coaching female entrepreneurs since 2007, and what I've seen is there are a certain set of challenges that (mostly) only female founders experience.
Understanding these challenges, and knowing how to navigate them can mean the difference between success and throwing in the towel in your business.
