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
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 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
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.
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.

Who the heck do you think you are to run a business?
Who the heck do you think you are?
This is the story women have running through their heads when they come to me for help.

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.
