Going from Corporate Employee to Online Entepreneur - My Story

Going from corporate employee to online entrepreneur

I help ambitious and determined women break through their limits, overcome their fears to quit their 9-5 and finally create their dream business full of freedom, flexibility and fulfillment (oh and a whopping dose of fun!).

I can finally say after many years that I absolutely love my job.

But it hasn’t always been like this. In fact, not so long ago, I was in a completely different place. I was working in a Corporate career in the world of legal recruitment. I did well at College and University gaining a law degree and after some time within legal practice, I made the move into legal recruitment.

Whilst I enjoyed building relationships and placing people in their dream jobs, the long hours, office politics, and corporate grind of these highly competitive industries left me feeling uninspired and unfulfilled.

Eventually, I got to the place where I was so over my corporate career. I was sick of making money for someone else and not being appreciated. The negativity, micro-management, long hours, and constant moaning about my life got me weary and sick of the sound of my own voice. I would binge on cakes and chocolate to beat the mid-afternoon slump and would finish the week drained and exhausted. And to top things off I had little time for myself and felt spiritually bankrupt.

But despite all of this, I felt stuck and had no idea how I could change my circumstances.

Maybe you’ve felt similarly stuck - you know something needs to change but you don’t know how and if you can even do it? Well that was exactly it for me.

One the one hand, I felt as though I should be grateful, I had a decent job and salary and I was comfortable but it wasn’t enough. I couldn’t help but feel that there was something missing.

I felt as though the days of my life were passing by and I was stuck in the mediocrity of my comfort zone with no idea how to escape.

And So Began A Period Of Great Soul Searching And Introspection

During this time, I often dreamed of having my own business and working for myself. BUT, I didn’t have the confidence to make the move.

I would spend lunchtime in Waterstones reading through the business books. Planning my escape strategy.  My limited thinking at that time led me to think there was NOTHING out there for me.  That I was destined to spend the rest of my life looking out of the office window, dreaming, and wishing for better things. I thought everybody felt this way about their job and that was just the way things were.

It was around this time I discovered coaching. I remember vividly that sunny autumn day, at my Introductory Weekend, when the teacher mentioned a quote by Stephen Covey

Most people spend their whole lives climbing the ladder of success only to realize, when they get to the top, the ladder has been leaning against the wrong wall

— Stephen Covey

Suddenly It All Made Sense The Ladder Had Been Leaning Against The Wrong Wall This Whole Time!

And as I embarked on my coaching diploma I realized how much I loved coaching. I loved how it empowered me and my clients.  I started to realize that I could do anything and recognized many of the thoughts that were holding me back as limiting beliefs.  Armed with this newfound confidence, I finally took the plunge and left my corporate position and started the business I thought I had been dreaming about.

Only It Was The Wrong Business !!

I had been so exhilarated to finally realize that I could do anything that I didn’t give any thought to what I actually REALLY wanted to do! I had just moved the ladder a little further along the same way and started climbing up the same wall !! So while I threw myself into getting my new recruitment business underway, the demands of starting a new business meant that there was not enough time to focus on my coaching studies and these started to fall by the wayside as I left for work early to get a head start on the day and stayed late to speak to candidates when they had finished work. The recruitment business came easy to me and I was able to reconnect with many of the relationships I had built over the years. But there was still something missing. I remember the moment when I got my first client cheque and instead of feeling elation or exhilaration,

I Felt Nothing

I felt like a failure as I realized, I wasn’t progressing my coaching diploma because I was working so hard building something deep down in my heart I knew I didn’t want to build.

It was a hard pill to swallow For a while I continued in my recruitment business but it soon became clear to me that I had to make a decision. I could spend years building this business that I wasn’t passionate about deep down or I could take some time out and pursue my Coaching passion. 

So during the quieter summer months, I threw myself into completing my coaching diploma. I spoke to coaching clients in the evenings and at lunchtime and weekends. Doing this led me to realize that my passion was coaching and that was the area I wanted to commit to. I threw myself into my new coaching business and got over any feelings of failure. I figured that when I was old and grey and looking back on my life, I would rather have tried and failed than never to try at all.

I Also Realised That This Was My One Life To Throw Caution To The Wind And Really Go After My Dreams.

I also changed my outlook on life. Gone was the negative, worst-case scenario outlook, and in its place came a new attitude to live life as if everything was in my favor. I enhanced my spiritual practice, started to meditate and do more yoga and journaling, and focused on becoming more present and enjoying the now.

I became my own spiritual restoration project.

Initially, I started working with women in the corporate world and those within professional services that fit my background. I set my business up so that I was able to work from anywhere and I got the chance to do some traveling and building my business at the same time.

I Loved The Freedom That Came With Having This Sort Of Business.

However, whilst I enjoyed my coaching and the transformations I was getting, I still wasn’t giving myself permission to work with my ideal clients.

I was still working with those in their corporate careers and I felt there was an energetic mismatch as I had left my corporate career and was very much focused on my freedom based business.

I had shifted from the Corporate mindset to the Entrepreneurial mindset and was most excited to work with clients who wanted to do the same.

By now, I was a dab hand at manifesting and I asked the Universe to bring me more of the types of clients that fit with where I was in my life at the moment.

I also got myself a coach who was doing what I wanted to do and was running their own freedom based business. My experience with this coach was amazing and the breakthroughs were incredible. It also gave me the realization that despite the false starts, I was exactly where I needed to be.

Finally, The Ladder Was Against The Right Wall.

Once I had made that decision, things started to fall into place. I started to attract my dream clients who got amazing results and provided me with wonderful testimonials. I realized that this was what made me come ALIVE. I was finally following my passion and it felt wonderful.

Since that time, things started to get better and better. I now work with my dream clients, I work from anywhere I desire, I was a finalist at the E3 Business Awards, I have been featured in places like Forbes, Thrive Global, She Owns It, Inside Magazines and more. I was a finalist at the E3 Business Awards and been contributing author to two books. I now work with my ideal clients, women who want to quit their 9-5 and build their own freedom based business.

Women, like you, who want to break through their limits and their fears and take advantage of this golden age we live in where it is possible to build a business that includes freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment.

My Journey to where I am now was laced with ups and downs, breaking through my self imposed limits and finally having the courage to step into my true power.

It’s not been without its ups and downs and It’s been quite

the ride but I wouldn’t change any of it.

By embracing my journey, I was now able to put myself in my client’s shoes and crucially I could recognize procrastination, self- sabotage, and other blocks in my clients and help them overcome so many of the same fears and upper limits that had held me back.

I was also committed to getting my clients there quicker than I had done myself. I wanted to compress their timeline, work through those fears, and blocks quicker and help them get that freedom based business quicker.

When I think back to that person I was sat in the cubicle in my corporate career, I no longer recognize myself. Looking back at all the steps I have taken since I never would have thought it would be possible for me.

Through running my own business, my coaching qualifications, and working with high-level business coaches, I broke through my upper limits, shifted my mindset, worked on my wealth consciousness, and came to attract more of what I wanted in my life.

I was also able to help my clients make powerful transformations in their lives which gives me the most satisfaction of all.

So How Did I Go From Feeling Stuck In My Corporate Job And Too Paralysed With Fear To Change Anything To Breaking Through Those Self-Imposed Limits?

I recognized the need to change.

My mentor said to me “if you don’t like the situation you are in, you can change it – you are not a tree”. It made me laugh but I realized he was right. I am not a tree. I haven’t rooted anywhere. Sure I had the same constrictions as others, e.g. financial, family, etc but nothing could be a big bar to changing if I wanted to change.

I also committed to making some big shifts like:

·   Quitting my 9-5 job

·        Starting my first recruitment business and getting experience of setting up a business

·        Completing my coaching diploma

·        Starting my coaching business

·        Invested in my business and worked with high-level coaches to fill in the gaps in my knowledge.

·        Going out there coaching people and developing my coaching skills further

·        Narrowing down my ideal client and making the shifts needed

to work with them

·        Built my network to include more like-minded people

·        Worked on my wealth consciousness and replaced lack thinking with abundance thinking

·        Joined a mastermind group to ensure continued support and made sure I stayed on track

·        Made self-care a priority as much as my business.

Above all, I gave myself permission to live life on my terms right now, not on some future undetermined date that may never arrive.

I realized that I didn’t have to do what society expected of me. I could follow my own path

AND BECAUSE I DID, I KNOW IT IS POSSIBLE FOR YOU TOO

If you are anything like I was, you may feel so stifled by the corporate world that you have lost touch with what makes you happy.

But you should know, that you have the power to seize that back.

Anytime you want to make a change you can do so.

I’m committed to helping as many women as possible escape their soul-sucking corporate jobs and create their own freedom based- business around their passions. I help them to break through their limiting beliefs and fears so that they can start living life on their terms and step into being that person they have always wanted to be.

The great thing is that there are more opportunities available than ever before for you to create a life and business based on freedom, flexibility, fulfillment, and quite a bit of FUN.

Are you ready to create a life and business on your own terms? One that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside?

Are you ready to claim it? Then apply for your Business Builder Session now and let’s discuss how together we can get you there faster.

How to Overcome Perfectionism So You Can Start Your Business

How to Overcome Perfectionism So You Can Start Your Business

Perfectionism getting in your way? Read this.

Are you stopping yourself from moving forward with your biz because of perfectionism?

Do you overthink every little thing before you do it?

• Can't make the website public yet because there might be a spelling mistake on there?

• Can't publish anywhere because you haven't got the perfect message cultivated yet?

• Can't work with clients because you don't have a pretty photoshoot?

• Can't help anyone with their life because yours isn't 100% figured out yet?

 I could go on but I think you get the picture.

Perfectionism is just another form of procrastination. It's your ego chiming in and saying that you can't do this thing because you're "not enough".

These not enough thoughts limit us and keep us stuck. If your perfectionism is blocking you today try these quick shifts.

1) Start practising the "done is better than perfect" mindset.

Now this doesn't apply if you're a brain surgeon or rocket scientist but if you're looking to start your service-based business chances are that your version of "done" is a higher standard than most people's. Concentrate on getting it to as high a standard for it to qualify as done and then get it out there. Tweaking and testing is all par for the course in entrepreneurship. You will continue to improve.

2)  Focus on progress not perfection

Knowing that we are constantly evolving, ever-improving beings you will realise that perfection doesn't exist so it makes no sense to aim for it. However, being a better version of you each day is something that we can all work towards.

3) Stay in your own lane

Nothing makes us feel more inferior in our own efforts than looking at those who are steps ahead and/or on a totally different journey and comparing ourselves to them.

Yes, that super guru that you follow may have all the bells and whistles but that doesn't mean you have to compare yourself to them. Stay in your lane and focus on those YOU want to help.

From a personal perspective, I'm totally turned off when something looks too perfect. I like my super gurus and everything else doused with a touch of reality and to me when something looks too perfect it doesn't resonate with me.

So don't let perfectionism stop you from going out there and sharing your message with the world and being of service.

3 Ways to Shift From Scarcity Mindset Into Abundance Mindset

3 ways to shift from scarcity mindset into abundance mindset

Sick of operating from a "not enough" mindset? Not enough time, money, resources?

What if I told you there is more than enough of ALL those.

But when you are coming at your life from the lack and scarcity perspective that is what you attract for yourself.

Instead, shift into the ABUNDANCE  mindset. Here are 3 ways to switch your thinking today.

1) Switch your negative default setting to a positive one.

Do you always find that you're immediately thinking of the worst-case scenario with everything? Why things always go wrong, why the odds are not in your favour?

It's time to flip the switch. You get to CREATE your reality.

None of what you fear has likely happened at the moment so instead of dreading the worst possible outcome go and create the best possible one instead.

2) Halt the negative thoughts of lack in their tracks.

Become the master of the REFRAME.

Remember a belief is just a thought you keep thinking and a thought can be changed. Change the thought and create a new belief in it's place.

Use a few simple words to acknowledge the negative thought and then proactively reframe it.

"I know that's an old belief I had. My new belief is that I am truly abundant and there is always more than enough. Abundance is my birthright."

3) Lean into trust.

Remember all those times when you thought things were bound to go wrong?  Where you went into the default negative setting expecting the worst but then things turned out REALLY well?

Bask in THOSE feelings instead. Remember all the times things did go well. How good you felt. The positivity, the self-belief. You did it once you can do it again. And more.

This is how you switch from scarcity mindset into an abundance mindset and how you start attracting abundance to you.

How to Find the Time To Work On Your Business Whilst In Your 9-5

How to Find the Time To Work On Your Business Whilst In Your 9-5

Ever had that feeling of time flying by and not making any progress on your goals?

You've wanted to get trraction on your business but in between the family, the day job, the kids, the to do list, its no wonder you're not getting anywhere.

And let's not forget the sleep. All the people talking about their 4.00 a.m. starts, but you need your 8 hours to even function.

Months pass and you're no further along with your biz dreams. You're wondering how you can possibly make progress with the limited time you have? 

The great news is with a few tweaks to  how you approach time, you can navigate your way out of the day job in no time. Here are a few quick tips to help you change the way you think about time.

1) Reframe how you think about time

Start with monitoring your self talk around time and it's  availability. When you are building your biz, it can be easy to think of time as a scarce resource and one which you don't have much of.

That's when phrases like "not enough hours in the day", "times flying by" etc creep in and start taking over. This takes you straight into lack mindset when it comes to your time.

Instead start making your self talk more positive "time is on my side", "I always make time for what's important". "I always make the best use of the time I do have". 

Remember your time is a resource that you have just like any other. If you are talking about its lack, you will feel it feel its lack even more.

2) Work in blocks of time.

Instead of trying to do bits and bobs here and there and not getting traction, try to dedicate a set amount of time to your business building activities e.g. 30 minutes a day in one go is better than 3 lots of 10 minutes or 5 minutes for a quick task here and there.

If you are really short of time, be super strategic and focused about the tasks that you do. Identify the highest value tasks in your business - those that will give you the most bang for your buck and focus on those. If you don't know what they are, get some help with this. 

Make a list at the end of each session for what you want to achieve out of the next and then just concentrate on THOSE tasks. No chopping and changing. Block out all distractions, social media etc and use the Pomodoro app to help you stay on track.

3) Chunk like tasks together

Its best to tackle all like/similar tasks together to be most effective. For example, I do all my coaching calls on certain days as this ensures that my clients have my full focus.

If you have a number of calls to make, set aside an hour to just make those calls.  If you have social media or blog posts to write, allocate a chunk of time to do that writing (whilst you are feeling creative), have a set time aside for admin ( I do mine on Friday).

Tackling like tasks together in this way saves time, keeps you focused and stops you from context switching (jumping from one task to another) which reduces productivity.

4) Be ruthless with the time you do have

There is no doubt about it, in the beginning, there is a lot of legwork involved in building your business. If you are totally new to business then there is a learning curve to navigate and this inevitably takes time.

This is the time to review how you are using your time.

Keep a time diary and identify any time vacuums or time sucks and remove them. For example I was a big football fan and before I started my business i watched several matches a week - at 90-100 minutes per match that was a lot of minutes. I stopped doing this for a while and reallocated that time. I loved football but it was more important for me to change my life and create a business I loved.

Also take a look at any obligations/commitments that are no longer a HELL YESS! Things you do out of obligation or because you feel you "should" or "have to" - both at work and personal.

If they don't serve you and your goals is it time to take a step back? Use this freed up time to spend on your business and to build your dream. 

So, whilst it can seem like there are "not enough hours in the day" especially if your day job is taking up a large part of the day, you can use these tips to help you free up some time and get some serious traction on your biz.

Whilst the bad news is time flies. The good news is you're the pilot.

If you are ready to finally  make traction on your business and want to know how to maximise the time you do have so that it’s spent on the right tasks together with the accountability to make quick and tangible progress then go ahead and book a complimentary Business Builder Session with me. During this powerful 30 minute session we will get clarity around your goals and desires, identify any challenges getting in your way and map out a strategy and action plan to help you reach your goals quicker.

Time well spent if you ask me :-)

How to Create a Successful Morning Routine Even When You’re Not a Morning Person

How to Create a Successful Morning Routine Even When You’re Not a Morning Person

In a recent Livestream for my Free Facebook group, (join here if you are not a member) I spoke about having a morning routine as an entrepreneur (you can watch it in the videos if you haven't seen it already).

But, what do you do if you are not a morning person and it takes you a while to get going in the morning?

Well, in that case, there are a few things that you can incorporate which will help you start each day off on the right foot and create a routine which works for you.

1) Look at your mindset, beliefs and language around whether you are a morning person or not.

Is this based on anything in particular or have you "just never been a morning person" or are you saying things like "I just can't function before 10.00 a.m." then your actions are likely backing up your beliefs.

Instead, try something like "i'm open to getting up a little earlier each day and feeling more energetic when I do." or "my body is powerful and provides me with what I need to wake up energised". This is a big shift in what you are saying to your body and mind and you are giving it the space to show up a little differently for you. Repeat these affirmations until you are cementing them as a new belief.

2) Look at your habits around bedtime

Waking up earlier with more energy doesn't just happen for most people. We have to set ourselves up to succeed in this area. How you show up the next day starts with how you end the previous one. So take a look at your bedtime habits.

Are you getting to sleep at the right time? The average adult needs 8 hours of sleep and the most regenerative sleep happens between the hours of 10.00 pm and 2.00 am. So if you are not getting to sleep until later i.e past midnight then you are missing out on the most regenerative hours.

Start with going to bed 30 minutes earlier and then build up to 1 hour earlier to claim back an hour's worth of sleep time.

Avoid overstimulation when you go to bed, e.g. time spent on your phone, watching tv in the bedroom, drinking caffeine before bedtime etc as these reduce the quality of the sleep you do have.

If you are prone to waking up with aches and pains (common if you are spending long hours at a computer in the day, running around after kids etc) then, take 5-10 minutes to do some stretching exercises before you go to bed to loosen up from the day.

Set your intention for the day tomorrow. INTEND to wake up with more energy. Tell yourself "I always wake up bursting with life and energised." Repeat it to yourself as you nod off to cement this into your subconscious mind which will continue to work overnight.

3) Eliminate the bad morning habits.

If you are a sleep lover like me (omg do I love my sleep!) then that snooze button is the biggest enemy of productivity in the morning. Keep your alarm away from your bed so that you HAVE to get up when the alarm goes off/when you wake up naturally. Movement creates energy and the simple act of getting up to switch your alarm off will kick start this.

Once you are up, MAKE THE BED. This is crucial for two reasons. Firstly, you are less likely to go back into bed if it's made up and secondly, it's the first thing you've completed successfully so counts as your first win of the day. I adopted this after learning it's a military exercise that builds discipline and routine and gives a sense of accomplishment. I sometimes left my bed unmade (naughty I know!) and was sceptical that something so small could do anything but it works and that sense of accomplishment filters through to your work day.

Keep some water by the bed and hydrate first thing in the morning. Doing this helps kick-start your body and rehydrates it from the night before (don't forget it hasn't had any fluids for around 8 hours so will welcome the drink). I like to visualise the water moving down my body and spreading energy and vitality to all my cells.

4) Do something just for you

Before you get on the phone and start answering your emails or plotting out your mental to-do list for the day ahead do something FOR YOU.

This is an important shift as instead of getting up and dreading the day ahead and everything you have to get done and wondering how you will possibly finish it all, you are giving yourself something to look forward to instead. You are starting the day with an act of SELF LOVE.

What that looks like is up to you. I have a little self-love routine that varies depending on how much time I have. On any given day it can include meditation, yoga, journaling, affirmations and gratitude.

It started off feeling like too much of a luxury and I would try and shorten it but when I saw the difference in my mindset and results it became a non-negotiable.

The minimum I commit to is something for the body (exercise and getting it moving) and something for the mind (affirmations) and something for the soul (gratitude). I have long and short versions for these so can be flexible. Or on busy days I will combine e.g. go for a walk and do my gratitude mentally.

BONUS TIP:

a) You know best what you need. Everyone's routines, responsibilities and body clocks are different. I know many entrepreneurs who swear by getting up at 5.00 a.m. for their morning routine. This doesn't work for me. I like to have a little bit of an evening (and not be in bed for 8.00 a.m.!) or be up too early. It's about striking a balance between being rested and what works for you and your lifestyle.

For example, the mamas in the group, you might have kids to get ready for school the next day or the little one that is still waking up through the night (btw if no one told you-you're doing an amazing job) so you may want to do a shorter more expedited routine. See my resources below to help you fit this in.

Bottom line, do what fits for you. Start in small increments to set yourself up for success and commit to changing things bit by bit. It takes 30 days to form a new habit so decide what you want to incorporate and then do it daily until it becomes a habit.

3 Steps To Get Out Of Your Own Way & Create Your Business

3 Steps To Get Out Of Your Own Way & Create Your Business

I'm guessing you have big dreams and goals and know you want to do amazing things with your life but right now you just don't know how to make it happen.

Maybe this was the year you hoped to leave the corporate world behind and create the life and business on your terms but it just hasn't happened?

When we are truly honest there is only one thing that is stopping us from having the life and business we desire.

OURSELVES.

We fear failure, we fear not making enough, we fear criticism, we fear investing and not making the money back, we fear not making the impact we desire.

And as a result, we delay our dreams. We put them on "someday isle". Even though we know that someday doesn't exist.

Well it's time to screw someday!

If your year has not gone how you expected so far, if your business is still existing on "Someday Isle" only, then it's time to change that now. Instead of someday how about NOW?

How about getting moving TODAY .

How about getting off the sidelines, saying goodbye to the corporate negativity and creating a life on your own terms instead?

If you haven't seen my free Livestream training from yesterday, then you can view it in the group. It's designed to kick start your year

I'm super passionate about helping women create a life and business on their own terms because for so long, I took the safe, overly travelled route and did what others did.

I spent year after year commuting to a job that didn't fulfil me and sat at my desk year after year in this soul soul-sucking environment. Every day like groundhog day. Because that was all I knew.

Working in corporate recruitment was soul sucking, draining and exhausting but I lacked the courage and the vision to do anything about it, I was so stuck for so long.

I wanted to be my own boss, make an impact and do work i loved but I just couldn't envision it for myself.

Maybe you can relate ?

Once I opened myself up to the opportunities, realised that what I wanted was possible for me, took bold decisions to make it happen things changed.

I got clear on my mission and message, on my ideal client and created packages that served them that was when things started to shift big time.

I invested in upleveling my mindset, my systems and did the work DAILY.

No excuses.

I continued to add to my learnings. Studying social media, copywriting and implementing the right systems and structures to create automation in my business and building a profitable business.

Sometimes you need to get out of your comfort zone and do what others won't do so that you can have what others don't have.

Freedom, flexibility and fulfilment.

If you are still stuck, here are 3 quick tips to help you get out of your own way.

1. Master Your Mindset

Fundamentally having the right mindset is crucial to your success. I'm sure you've heard the famous quote "whether you think you can or think you can't you're right and this is so true".

This means utmost faith in your ability but also shifting the scarcity mindset (there is so much competition, there is not enough money, who will pay me) to an abundance mindset (the right clients are out there for me, there is so much wealth and abundance in the world, people will pay when the product adds value).

Focus on adding value to your ideal clients. Let them know that you are there for them and keep showing up. Your ideal clients want to know that you will be there for them when they are ready to buy.

Ways to Do this: Read Inspiring Books daily

(Think & Grow Rich by Napolean Hill, - get it here)

( The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D Wattles - get it here)

for shifting from scarcity to abundance).

Meditate daily. This is one of my favourite daily meditations for abundance

Show up consistently: I love my clients, I love the work I do and I love helping and adding value to the women who are stuck where I was.

I can't NOT do this work. Allow your passion to ooze out of every pore. Your audience will sense it.

2. Get to the bottom of your excuses.

We can make excuses all day long as to why something won't work for us. These excuses are really our fears and limiting beliefs getting into action trying to protect us from failure and keep us safe.

Whilst sometimes fear can serve us, when it comes to our business it's often misplaced. The only thing it does is keeps us stuck and playing small.

The next time you find yourself making excuses, identify where it is coming from. Ask yourself "what's really going on here"?. Is the excuse really well founded (most of the time this is a no) and then take action ANYWAY.

Nothing great ever came from listening to excuses. The fact that you are here and reading this means that you are meant to create a life of a richer and bolder kind. Step into the person who goes after THAT not the woman who makes excuses.

JOURNALING PROMPT: IF I WAS NOT ALLOWING FEAR OF FAILURE AND JUDGEMENT STOP ME FROM GOING AFTER MY DESIRES, WHAT WOULD I BE DOING NOW?

And then take those steps.

3. Make it Happen

Building a business may feel scary and tough and we may not achieve the success we want overnight but if you don't take action you will NEVER get to where you want to be.

It is possible for you create a business that you love, doing work that lights you up, helping incredible women and being of SERVICE. And it's possible sooner than you might think.

I know this because this is what I've created for myself.

Despite initially pursuing 2 business ideas that weren't right for me, I found my passion and purpose. That would never have happened if I had been too scared to do ANYTHING.

I took relentless focused action, invested in learning, took action and had the courage to pivot so that I could create my thing.

I was determined to make it work and it did.

This is what happens when you are relentless in the pursuit of the life you desire.

3 Easy Ways to Uplevel your Life Now

3 Easy Ways to Uplevel your Life Now

It’s been an incredible week in my business. Full of growth, abundance, blessings and conversations with incredible women looking to take the leap and create a life and business on their own terms. I'm working from a beautiful high vibe place (the Isle of Wight is stunning - pics to come) and feeling wonderful.

I’ve felt a huge energetic shift happening over the last few weeks. Feeling as though more and more great things are coming and I’ve had the urge to get ready and prepare for those when they come.

It’s not the first time I’ve done this.

The truth is every uplevel requires a willingness to open up the way for new and better things to come into your life. I like to think of it as paving the way for great things to happen.

If you want to create your dream life and business but are not making the progress you want, it all starts with the preparation and showing the Universe/God that you are ready. Prepare the energetic space, make your dream life a non-negotiable and act as if what you want is coming to you WITHOUT QUESTION

By doing this, you are setting a powerful intention.

If you are determined to end the last half of 2018 with your dream business a reality then doing these simple preparation steps will help you pave the way for your next level….

1. Clean out the Clutter

Do a brain dump of all the admin tasks you need to do and commit to getting them done. Tick off any self care items such as doctors, dentists appointments. Clear anything in your physical environment that doesn't match the woman you want to become. Clear the mental and emotional clutter too. I’m talking any negativity from the past, any business ideas that didn’t work for you, forgiving anyone who wronged you. When you are creating a life on your terms you don’t want any of this "stuff" standing in your way. Identify what doesn’t serve you and let it go with grace.

2. Shift the old negative thought patterns and create an abundance mindset

From now on, you want to have an empowering high vibe, mindset that is going to help you make things happen. Shift any negative thoughts and the scarcity mindset and instead put in place an "anything is possible" mindset. Create a powerful morning mindset routine that will help you with this. Add in the tools that work for you and that you enjoy to personalise the routine into one that energises you and propels you forward. I love meditation, journaling and affirmations all of which have made a huge difference to my mindset.

3. Make it Happen

Ask yourself better questions to get better results. If you are thinking of all the ways something won’t work, then you’ll talk yourself out of doing anything every single time. Instead, ask yourself "HOW can I make this happen." This gets your mind into solution mode and it starts looking for ways to bring your desires to you. Act as if what you want has NO CHOICE but to come to you. One of my amazing new clients this week, booked her Mindset Intensive in the diary as her statement of intent even when she had so many things up in the air which she could have used as an excuse. She MADE it happen.

This doesn’t have to take weeks or months. You don’t have to put your dreams on hold because your garage is not fully emptied. You can make changes from the minute you decide to. Everything else is backing it up, making you stronger, increasing the pull and the speed.

If you are determined to make it happen, let’s chat. Apply for your complimentary Business Builder Session here and let’s make it happen.

If you were making things happen, what would that look like for you? What one step forward can you take today on that vision?

3 Steps to Change Your Money Mindset to Start Attracting Your Ideal Customers and Charging Your Worth

3 Steps to Change Your Money Mindset  to Start Attracting Your Ideal Customers and Charging Your Worth

Today I want to talk about something that can be a very loaded subject for many - MONEY!

It's a subject that many people tiptoe around, feel uncomfortable discussing and crazily some feel bad about charging especially those in the "helping" professions where many ladies feel bad about charging for their services because they are helping someone.

I've had my own money stories to deal with too.

There was not much money around in my family when I was growing up and I grew up hearing stories from my mum around how poor her family were growing up. (My grandfather passed away when my mum was young and my grandmother had to bring up 7 children on her own in a society where there were ZERO work opportunities for women - she literally had to rely on handouts and charity from others).

I was bought up to believe "money doesn't grow on trees", "it takes hard work to make money" alongside other beliefs around money such as  "money is the root of evil".

I also created some money stories of my own after a few money dramas in my 20s.

We are bought up to believe things about money from a young age. These thoughts around money stick with us and so often keep us stuck and in fear of failure.

My money dramas stopped me from spending money on my coaching business initially and hiring a coach felt like such a huge deal and like such a huge amount of money.

 I kept comparing the sum to how long it would take me to earn that in my corporate career and being afraid to "lose" the money (seeing it as an expense rather than an INVESTMENT)

It meant I was in my own way at the beginning longer than I needed to be.

What about you? What do you believe about money?  Where did these beliefs come from?

Write down YOUR money stories. Ask yourself where did this belief come from?

Do you really believe it to be true?

Try to question your views and beliefs around money as much as possible. You don't have to believe anything that you were told. You can write your own story

I often work with clients who have money stories of their own. Maybe they had similar beliefs drummed into them when they were younger or guilt around previous bad money decisions, debt etc. They have this massive amount of guilt which often keeps them stuck and unable to pursue their passion.

The issue with this is that this guilt then has a knock-on effect on their confidence, self-belief, self-worth and their emotions.

They hold themselves back, self-sabotage, hide in their businesses and become down and depressed about their situation.

The way I see money now has totally transformed.

I no longer see it as something that is scarce, evil or any of the previous labels I gave it.

When I first started my business I would frequently attract potential clients who would say "I would love to but I can't afford it" because my own financial frequency was so off-kilter. I was literally attracting those with my own beliefs to me. I was a client repellent.

It's very difficult to attract clients when your vibration is around lack and low self-worth yourself.

Now I believe "money is energy and energy is currency, it is neither good nor bad, it flows to me from many sources".

Once we start believing in abundance and shifting our vibration around money, it's amazing how things start to flow.

If you have a negative story around money and want to shift your money mindset try these 3 tips

1) Know Your Finances

So many women bury their head in the sand when it comes to their finances and have no idea on exactly what their financial situation is. The problem when you do this you are effectively saying that you don't trust yourself with money. 

Start becoming intimately aware of your income/expenditure. Take control of any debt and make a plan to pay it back. Get creative on new ways to add extra income. You will be surprised with what you can achieve when you get proactive with your finances.

Change your talk around money instead of always saying "i can't afford it" or "it's too expensive" when it comes to something you desire instead ask "how can I make it happen?" I did this when I worked with my last coach for a 5 figure investment. I didn't have the money but I wasn't about to let that stop me. I got creative and put the money on my credit card and got proactive and determined about paying that off.

Where can you be creative to make things happen for you?

2) Commit to elevating your Wealth Consciousness daily

Our money stories are often rooted from many years ago often from our childhoods and then these beliefs are cemented further with each passing year. When we start questioning and re-programing, we have to do this consistently to avoid falling back into old thought patterns.

Just as we didn't arrive with these stories overnight, they may not disappear overnight but shifting your money mindset is so important if you want to attract abundance into your life.

Start reading wealth consciousness books daily and actively working on re-programing your beliefs around money.

Some great books to get you started with this include:

Think and Grow Rich, by Napolean Hill.

The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles.

The Law of Divine Compensation by Marianne Williamsson.

These are some of my personal favourites. To get the full list of my recommendations to transform your money story take a look at my Offer for Activate Your Abundance - Clear Your Money Blocks to Create Your Profitable Business which is just $27 when you use the discount code. 

3) Shift your thought patterns and words

Start to pay attention to your thoughts and words around money. What do you believe about money today? What do you believe about people who have money (for example if you are routinely judgemental and negative towards wealthy people you in effect repel wealth for yourself).

You cannot become what you despise.

Shift your thoughts patterns to ones that support your new view that you are worthy of wealth and all the things you desire.

In short, whatever negative stories and beliefs you currently have around money and wealth can and should be questioned and rewritten. You are worthy of abundance, deserve to be paid well for your gifts and have everything you desire.

To get to the bottom of where your thoughts, beliefs and stories are stopping you from attracting abundance take a look at Activate Your Abundance - Clear Your Money Blocks to Create Your Profitable Business which is just $27 with the discount code.

If you are routinely allowing your negative beliefs around money stop you from going after what you want in your life/business, for example, feeling guilty around charging, discussing your services with clients, hoarding money and not making the necessary investments to make a difference in your life then you must commit to changing this today.

If you are ready

This is the exact money work I have done that has helped me completely  TRANSFORM my mindset around money and abundance. It's helped me to

💸 Get comfortable charging my worth, increase my prices and be totally comfortable having money conversations with ideal clients

💸 Clear previous debt without drama and negativity and write a more positive money story

💸 Creating passive income products so that I can earn money with ease

💸 Attract abundance to me including free flights (my last 4 flights to Granada, Santorini, Italy and Budapest were free), vouchers and upgrades galore. 

💸 Build my net worth including increasing savings accounts, multiple streams of income and investments to secure my financial future.

💸 And so much more

It's all come from changing my money story and what I believe possible for myself and I want the same for you too.

So many women aren't aware they have a money story and feel guilty about having money, talking about money and even having a conversation around their services. You can't make money if you are afraid to sell your services.

How to Overcome The Limiting Beliefs That Are Holding You Back From Success

How to Overcome The Limiting Beliefs That Are Holding You Back From Success

Your life changes as you change your inner beliefs.

Don't believe you can do anything outside the confines of your 9-5? You'll continue to stay stuck.

Don't believe that you're worthy of being paid your worth? You'll continue to attract the clients who ask for discounts and don't pay on time.

Don't believe that your face fits or that you have the right look for an online business? You'll continue to hide away.

Don't believe you deserve to make money doing what you love? you'll self-sabotage, fritter away money and succumb to shiny object syndrome.

Everything in your life is a reflection of your inner beliefs. Your limiting beliefs are hiding in those areas where you don't have the results you want.

So to change the output, change the beliefs.

1) Identify the areas where the results are less than desirable, lower than your potential or inconsistent with who you are.

2) Identify the thoughts and beliefs you have about yourself in that area and write them down. Look them in the eye. Consider where that belief came from. Consider if it's true. Does it stand up to scrutiny? Acknowledge it for what it is. A belief. Not an irrevocable truth.

3) Create a new empowering belief to replace the old one that feels aligned with what you want and who you REALLY are.

4) Repeat for the next belief.

As part of my signature 1-1 Coaching Program, I work closely with my clients in a 2-hour mindset intensive at the outset. We dive deep into this work and the results are staggering. Old beliefs that go back years are dismantled and disposed of.

If you're ready to say goodbye to the old results, then book in for a complimentary Business Builder Session. Apply for your call here
