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 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.
How to stop feeling ‘meh’ and get the fire back in your belly
Today I'm talking to you if you've been feeling ‘meh’ and want to get the fire back in your belly
If you’ve been feeling like you’ve lost your mojo, you’re disconnected.
Like you’re ticking along, but that’s not good enough.
Like you’re stuck in your comfort zone. You want to break free and do brilliant things, but it’s become the status quo, and you don’t know how to level up.
I’ve been working with entrepreneurs on this stuff for many years now – I strongly believe that if you’ve been bold enough and brave enough to launch a company, you might as well make it count.
Do you feel like you’ve got to be Superwoman
Today I'm talking to you if you've ever felt pressure to be Superwoman.
Female entrepreneurs are masters at multitasking, at wearing many hats, at getting stuff done, and this is useful up to a point, but there is a flipside to this that we're just not talking about - and this could be harming your business.
I used to wear being called Superwoman like a badge of honour until I realised the pressure I was putting on myself - and that I was actually sabotaging the results I was getting in my business - and in my whole life as well.
So buckle up, because this conversation could be a game-changer for you.
