Why You Should Follow Your Dreams No Matter How Long It Takes
Do you have a big goal like starting your own business? But you're scared to get going because of how long it might take to accomplish that goal? I've got you. In this post I share how I overcame this exact stumbling block and the mindset shift that made it possible.
Why You Should Follow Your Dreams No Matter How Long It Takes
Have you ever wanted to do something but were worried about the time it would take?
And the prospect of putting that amount of time into it made you a little scared.
And maybe that thing had a bit (okay read A LOT) of uncertainty around it.
Me too. It's the reason I waited FIVE YEARS before starting my business. I knew for a long time that I wanted to be my own boss. I hated being stuck in an office, begging for permission for a day off, building someone else's dream and I really really hated being told what to do.
I can't help it. It's just the rebel in me!
But as my confidence dwindled in my corporate career, I was so intimidated by the amount of TIME making a change would take. Retraining, shifting emphasis, the uncertainty - it all seemed like it had such a long indefinite timeline attached to it.
One hot summer's day whilst sat in my Coach training, I heard the instructor say something really profound (an Earl Nightingale quote).
““Never give up on a dream because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.””
"Never give up on a dream because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway."
It got me right where it was supposed to.
OF COURSE. THE TIME WILL PASS ANYWAY.
I had such a deep realisation.
Even if I decide to stay in this job that doesn't fulfil me the time is going to pass.
The days of my life will continue to count down.
I have to CHOOSE how I pass that time.
You know how you have those defining moments in your life, that seem low key at the time but give you a big old lesson and stay with you?
Well, this was one of them!
I knew I couldn't let this stop me and the time it takes would never be a limiting factor again.
I was reminded of this moment by one of my gorgeous clients recently.
We worked together last year and she sent me an amzing message about how much her life has changed in that time. She is doing her soul work, making an impact, growing her business.
All the things she dreamt of doing. She could have waited, delayed, postponed, made excuses but she didn't. She asked herself what the cost of staying the same was and got honest with the answer. "going round in circles, the same old junk".
That is not easy realisation and it takes courage and bravery to acknowledge that and DO something about it.
And whilst she achieved incredible things since we worked together the most important thing is that when she DECIDED she was no longer available to settle THAT'S when the shift happened.
She changed things the INSTANT she DECIDED to.
She set in motion the chain of events.
It boiled down to that one powerful decision. Everything else is the catalyst and result of that.
I see it in my clients and I saw it in myself.
When you decide you are not available for the drama, to settle, to live a mediocre life, to live life on autopilot that's when God/the Universe sees your courage and rewards you.
So if you're feeling stuck right now. If you're living a life of autopilot, feeling trapped in your corporate job, doing something that you're not passionate about then you can decide to change it today.
The time will pass anyway.
You can either choose more of the same.
Or this time next year you can be in a whole different place.
You choose.
If you're ready to overcome the fears and limiting beliefs getting in the way of you making a change and creating a business that you love then, let's talk. Book a Business Builder call with me and start making that change today.
In this powerful 30 minute call we get clear on your big vision, address the challenges in your way and put in place an action plan to make your business a reality. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

How to Get Over the Overwhelm and Get Quicker Results in Your Online Business
Starting an online business can be overwhelming. There is the tonne of strategies to follow, different business models and on top of that you have to figure out what works for you and your strengths and goals. Learn how to reduce some of the overwhelm and noise when it comes to starting an online business.
How to Get Over the Overwhelm and Get Quicker Results in Your Online Business
There’s no doubt that starting an Online Business can bring up a whole heap overwhelm.
There’s no doubt that starting an Online Business can bring up a whole heap overwhelm.
After all, there’s so much to learn, a tonne of conflicting advice and everyone selling you the magic answer - it’s easy to get overcome by shiny object syndrome and go down the rabbit of hole of overthinking and overwhelm. Before you know it, you’re spending hours in front of the computer but you’re no further along.
You THINK you're "working" on your business. You're learning a tonne, downloading all the freebies, you've consumed 10 webinars this week and countless podcasts.
But you're feeling more overwhelmed and confused by the day and starting to second guess and doubt yourself.
The problem is you're stuck in consumption over CREATION and it's making you feel inadequate, drowning out what YOU want and how best for you to run YOUR business that is unique to you.
If this sounds familiar but you’re ready to get moving then here’s how to reduce the overwhelm so that you can get clarity around your direction and right next steps. :-
1) Reduce the notice
You just can't watch a million different people sell a million different methods and expect to get clarity. Every person is selling you THEIR version of success and that's exactly what it is - THEIR version. Everyone has a different business model, strategy, background etc. Just because it's working for them doesn't mean it will for you. A random assortment of information is just confusing.
Unsubscribe, unfollow and delete anything not appropriate for where you are in your business RIGHT now.
2) Take away what isn’t necessary
Often we can become overwhelmed just by the sheer number of things we have on our to-do list. We say yes to everything and anyone because we don’t want to look bad and bite off more than we can chew so to speak.
Get into the habit of asking yourself whether the commitments that you are saying yes to support you in the life that you want to create and systematically take away what doesn’t fit that criteria.
Essentialism by Greg McKeown
Instead of making everything a priority and becoming overwhelmed look at what is truly essential for you to have in your life. A book that I loved that helped me with this a tonne is Essentialism by Greg Mckeown, The Disciplined Pursuit of Less.
The great thing about this book is that its lessons can be applied to both in business and life. Principles such as “less but better” can apply to your marketing strategies just as much as they can to social engagements. The same applies to the “power of a graceful no”, understanding trade-offs, taking responsibility to prioritise and crucially protecting your ability to do so by protecting your number one asset – you!
This is book is full of nuggets. So if you have tonnes of “stuff” going on at any one time and are doing way too much then this will help you realise the “unimportance of practically everything”.
As Richard Koch says

This is book is full of nuggets. So if you have tonnes of “stuff” going on at any one time and are doing way too much then this will help you realise the “unimportance of practically everything”.
As Richard Koch says
““Most of what exists in the Universe – our actions and all other forces, resources and ideas, has little value and yields little results; on the other hand, a few things work fantastically well and have tremendous impact””
It’s time to get honest and take away the things in your schedule that have little or no impact on the bigger picture.
3) Listen to your inner voice
Now that you’ve reviewed and, where necessary, removed the things that are just noise and/or not essential to your goals you can finally hear yourself THINK and get some clarity.
Often the sheer volume of what you have going on reduces your ability to listen to your intuition. Now that the noise has lessened, it’s time to go within.
Take some time to go internally and connect with what YOUR message is.
Who can you help?
How do you help them?
Why is your service the no-brainer choice for YOUR ideal client?
What do you want your business to look like?
Why do you want to make this business a reality? (For an amazing insight into why clarity around your WHY is crucial listen to Simon Sinek’s TED Talk “Start WIth Why”.
Explore this in your journal and listen to your intuition and inner guidance. Get to know yourself and your desires.
4) Get to work
To help you get over the overwhelm reduce the time you spend in comsumption mode and instead spend your time on CREATION.
Creating your vision, creating what your ideal client needs, creating the next version of yourself.
Put in place powerful goals that are YOUR goals and then put the blinkers on start working towards them. The more you look externally for answers the less you’ll find them so being led by your vision is crucial.
And most importantly get the help that you need for the stage of business that you are at.
I help new entrepreneurs cut through the overwhelm and focus on the tasks that are going to move the needle in their business so that they can get quick results.
If you're ready to get over the overwhelm and know exactly which tasks to focus on to grow your business then book a Business Builder call with me to find out how I can help you. This is for the ambitious and determined woman who is DONE with stalling and playing small and is ready to create her dream business.

How to Get More Done In Less Time as a New Entrepreneur
Your time is your most valuable asset as a new entrepreneur and making sure you are as productive as possible is key. In this blog post we discuss how to leverage your time and maximise your productivity to get more done in less time. This is for you if you’ve ever got to the end of the day and asked “where did the time go?!”
How to Get More Done In Less Time as a New Entrepreneur
Are you working hours and hours on your business but getting nowhere?
Does the business that you started for freedom and flexibility look like the complete opposite of that right now?
Chances are its a mixture of inefficient working practises and focusing on the wrong things. I was the same before I realised I didn't want to set up another JOB for myself in my business.
Luckily you don't need to work harder, just smarter - by creating some simple shifts to ramp up your productivity and get quicker results.
When I implemented these strategies, my productivity skyrocketed, I got way more done in less time and focusing on only on the things that matter made a huge difference in both the bottom line and also how I felt.
Make no mistake your time is your biggest asset as a new entrepreneur so here's how you can make the most of what you have.
1) Working in blocks. One great way to ramp up productivity is to work in blocks of time. You pick one or two tasks that you want to complete in the specific block of time that you have e.g. 60 minutes and work on it until it’s done. This is much more effective than sitting down and working non stop for the whole day when inevitably distraction sets in and its impossible to be productive for huge lengths of time like that.
A great tool to assist you with working in blocks is the Pomodoro App or you can use an online version like this one. Don’t forget to factor in breaks when you are working for larger blocks of time.
2)) Batching like tasks Contrary to what you might be led to believe, multi-tasking is terrible for productivity. When you try to multi task and switch from task to task you actually get LESS done. In fact, multi tasking is believed to reduce productivity by around 40%. When you constantly switch between different types of tasks it takes your brain 23 minutes to get back fully focused on the original task. Just think of all the wasted time that results in. One way to overcome this is to batch similar tasks together e.g client calls on certain days to avoid this context switching (jumping from task to task which is known to reduce productivity). I have different days to focus on different tasks, client calls on certain days, content creation, emailing my list and other similar "creation" focused tasks are done when I work best and feel at my most creative - usually in the morning just after my morning routine).
3) Focused work during set hours - The great thing about using a timer app like above is that it keeps you more focused. As well as the timer, it’s essential to instil the personal discipline to make sure that you are not allowing yourself to get distracted. It’s so easy to go onto Facebook and go down the cat video rabbit hole or get distracted by what others are doing.
If you’re struggling with the self discipline to do this, try using a desktop tool to help you like this one.
4) Spend your time on revenue generating activties. It’s so easy to spend your time on busy work and procrasti-learning and before you know it the whole day has gone. Take some time to identify the money making taks in your business and spend your most productive part of the day focusing only on the money-making tasks in your business and reducing or outsourcing the others. Step away from the millionth tweak to your website and focus on the 20% of actions that bring 80% of the results.
5) Leverage your time by creating a simple easy to implement sales funnel that brings calls to your dairy and takes the grunt work out of bringing ideal clients to you. However, be aware that this can be a time suck in the beginning of your business if you are trying to do it yourself and there is a learning curve so I would suggest to work with a Coach on this. You can book a call with me to find out how I can help you implement a simple sales funnel in your business.
6) Incorporating self-care into each day. Productivity occurs when you feel at your best each day and are fresh and energised to show up fully in your biz so make sure that you build an element of self care into your day. This can be something as simple as starting your day with a morning routine, going for a walk after a long day or taking some time out to meditate. You can find out more about creating a morning routine here.
You don't have to work all the hours in the day to get results. Identify your key tasks and get focused on those. If possible outsource the tasks that don't make you money so you can focus on money-making tasks and client care and self care.
Which number do you need to focus on?
If getting support has been on your list and you've been stalling but you know that you are READY to change all that then I've opened up some slots in my calendar for a 1-1 Business Builder Session for the woman who is DONE with standing on the sidelines and is ready to take decisive action.

3 Keys to Make Better Decisions in Your Business
Want to know the skill that Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs have in common that makes them super productive? And the skill that Napolean Hill recommended successful people hone? This blog post shares exactly that. Yes decision making is a key skill to develop as a new entrepreneur. So if you are a new online Coach/Service-Based Entrepreneur who wants to start their business then don't miss this.
3 Keys to Make Better Decisions in Your Business
Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will. We’ve all heard that saying right?
And its true. Doubt does kill a lot of dreams but you know what kills just as many?
INDECISION.
Yes, all that to-ing and fro-ing with your business and business idea.
❌ “Maybe I should give it a go but maybe it's safer to stay where I am.”
❌ “Maybe i'll get started in the new year/when i've got my next bonus/when the kids start nursery/when i've moved house (you get the idea).”
❌ “Maybe i'll invest in myself or maybe I should try and figure things out on my own first.”
These are some of the thoughts that keep us in indecision and stop us from moving forward because so often staying stuck is an easier option as we don’t have to commit to anything.
Yes it's scary making a commitment and a decision because that means you actually have to get out of your comfort zone and DO the thing.
But without that you stay stuck in your current reality and don't take a step towards your dreams - still feeling stagnant in no mans land.
Honing your decision making skills is one of the key things to do as an entrepreneur. Napolean Hill says in Think & Grow Rich
““Successful people make decisions quickly and change their minds slowly””
Each time you make a decision you take a step forward. When you are moving forward is when you make progress.
Delay the decisions, delay the progress.
Decision making is so important in fact, Mark Zuckerberg is famously known to wear the same t-shirt every day to avoid decision fatigue and to focus his energy on the more important decisions at work. The same was true for Steve Jobs of Apple.
So how do you get better at making decisions? Here’s 3 tips to set you on your way.
Get used to following the fear.
Often we delay a decision because we are scared or second guessing the outcome but that is often precisely what we need to do to get out of our comfort zone.
Check in with yourself that it’s not the fear voice talking and take action. Get into the habit of asking yuourself where the indecision is coming from. Is it because you genuinely don’t know or is it because you are refraining from making the decision due to some underlying fear?
2. Actively build your decision making muscle.
Start bringing awareness to how you make decisions.
Do you decide quickly or do you need to talk through with 20 different people and write 6 pages of pros and cons.
If it’s the latter start practising better decision making. Start with the small things and build up the muscle from there. A small thing you can start with for example is being more decisive with what you want to eat when you go to a restaurant when you typically take a long time. Instead of “I don’t know what to eat?”, “what are you having?” conversations make the decision quicker.
Apply this principle to other smaller decisions you make so that you will build up to making quicker decisions.
So have a think right now. Where do you take forever to make a decision that you can start practing this exercise on?
3. Learn to trust your intuition.
Many times we already know what the right decision is for us intuitively but we drown this out to be more practical or realistic or not to “act on a whim” only to look back with hindsight and say “I knew I should have done that”. Get used to listening to the inner voice and get confident following it.
If you’re not able to access your intuition at the moment then start getting into the habit today of listening. Your intuition can’t be heard if you don’t listen to it. Spend a little bit of quiet time each day pay attention to what your intuition is saying. Incorporate a meditation practice in your to silence the inner critic and the negative thoughts so you can hear your intuition better.
Being decisive and honing your decision making ability is a wonderful skill and one that will serve you well if you take time to develop it.
So today let me ask you this?
❓Where are you letting your indecision stop you from moving forward towards your dreams and desires?
❓What one decision, have you been holding off on, which if you made today, would make the biggest impact for you when it comes to making your business happen?
If getting support has been on your list and you've been stalling but you know that you are READY to change all that then I've opened up some slots in my calendar for a 1-1 Business Builder Session for the woman who is DONE with standing on the sidelines and is ready to take decisive action.

How to Create a Success Mindset as a New Entrepreneur
You may have heard the phrase that "success is 80% mindset" and that is absolutely true. Working on your mindset is one of the best things you can do as a new Coach/Online Service-Based Entrepreneur. As a Mindset & Business Coach for Female Entrepreneurs, this is exactly what I help my clients with. This post shares how to do that for you.
How to Create a Success Mindset as a New Entrepreneur
On doing the work every single day.
There is no substitute for this. My daily mindset work is non-negotiable. That means fitting it in no matter what.
Even on the days when you don’t feel like it. When it’s an early start or when you’re “just not in the mood”. Today I’m in London for a business event which meant a super early train. The first thing I put in my bag for the journey was my journal.
It’s easy to make excuses. “It’s an early start”.
“I can use a little more sleep on the train”.
“Maybe I can just skip it for one day”. But that’s not how habits work. To become a habit they must be engrained with discipline.
Practiced and redone until it becomes second nature.
I’m so glad I stuck with my mindset routine and habits. It’s made me realize the true power that we have in our mind and how harnessing it on a daily basis can create incredible changes.
I now barely recognize myself from the stuck and unfulfilled Employee I was just a few years ago and I credit so much of this to the mindset work I’ve done.
More importantly, I’ve been stripping away decades and centuries of cultural conditioning telling me what I can and can’t do as a woman. THIS work can have a multi-generational impact and that’s what I fully intend to do with it.
If you want to create a mindset routine here are a few quick tips.
1️⃣ start small and build - rather than go all in one day with two hours and then nothing for weeks start small with 5/10 mins a day and build on that when you have created the consistency.
2️⃣ creating a new habit can take a little time. Anything upwards of 30 days depending on what you’re trying to change. Commit to sticking with it. Use a habit tracker to help you stay on track.
3️⃣ have fun with it! You’re doing this to create better practices and ultimately a better life so let loose a little. Set yourself challenges to keep it up, build in rewards, get your friends involved. Keep it fun and interesting for yourself and you’re more likely to stick with it.
I’m going to be sharing so much more on this so stay tuned.
But for now, tell me do you have a mindset routine? What are you like sticking with it - come on be honest

How To Do Work You Love
Has your current career got you feeling flat? We spend on average 90,000 hours of our life at work. Doing what you love is essential for both your fulfilment and your health. This post takes you through some steps to finding work you love.
How to do work you love
Yesterday I had a 90 min Intensive session with a passionate, driven, and determined woman. #idealclient.
This is what truly lights me up.
It's the work that makes me feel alive.
We covered so much. Mindset, money blocks, cultural conditioning messaging, ideal client.
It was work that didn't feel like "work". It got me thinking.
It's easy to subscribe to the "it takes hard work to make money" mindset but this was the opposite. It wasn't "hard work" in the truest sense. I wasn't working down a mine, on a factory, or on a farm.
But so often we equate creating success with some sort of preceding struggle. A lot of that mentality dates back to times like the industrial age when work was literally hard. Nowadays it's possible to shift so much of that conditioning. If right now work or business is feeling like a chore then think about these things.
1️⃣ Doing what you love. You've heard the saying "do what you love and you won't work a day in your life." It's true. Since moving away from the 9-5 and starting my coaching business I've never resonated with this more. Sure it's work but this is what lights me up. To even call it to work seems wrong. Are you doing the work you love? If you're not, change it. It's okay to pivot and evolve.
2️⃣ Embrace Automation. We don't have to be everywhere because technology has changed the game. We can create something once and its impact can be far-reaching. Social media makes it easier than ever to reach our ideal clients across the globe. Implementing the right systems and structures helps us leverage our time. Are you using these wisely?
3️⃣ Consider outsourcing the areas that you don't enjoy. Spending as much time possible in what Gay Hendricks describes as our "zone of genius" allows us to spend more time inflow. What tasks can you outsource in your life or biz today?
4️⃣ Energy is everything. Becoming an energetic match to your desires will help attract what you want. Spending just as much time working on your energy and vibration will help you manifest what you want to create quicker. It's why mindset work IS the work. It's why that strategy you were sure was a winner still isn't working. How can you be more of an energetic match to your desires? So if you're still in the "it takes hard work" and "over efforting" mentality where can you make some adjustments today? If you’re ready to shift what you believe is possible for you, get off struggle street and learn how to make the powerful combination above work for you then book a business builder session with me.

How To Overcome Imposter Syndrome As An Online Entrepreneur
Are you experiencing imposter syndrome as a new Coach/Online Entrepreneur.? Don't worry it's actually more common than you think. Research shows that over 60% of women suffer from imposter syndrome. Here are some quick tips to help you overcome this.
How to Overcome Imposter Syndrome As An Online Entrepreneur
How to work through the "who the hell do I think I am to do this" moments in your business.
Have you ever had that feeling when it comes to your business?
You're just starting out or just hitting a new level and there it hits you - smack in the middle of the face (this feeling has literally NO subtlety and doesn't do things by halves!).
"What makes you think you can make this work?"
"Who are you to talk about this when you don't have your own stuff in order"
"Who do you think you are REALLY - everything you've done up to now is a total fluke anyway."
And then before you know it you start listening to it.
Maybe it's right.
Maybe you're being too optimistic and ambitious.
The doubt starts to creep in slowly.
We've all been there right?!
Here's the thing though. You don't have to listen to that voice. Instead:
1) Start recognizing it for what it is - your ego voice trying to keep you safe. Trying to protect you because it's not 100% sure of what's ahead of you so it's overcompensating and trying to stop you from doing. Talk to it. Reassure it. "There's nothing to worry about here. I'm totally the person to do this and it's safe for me to do so."
2) Remind yourself why you ARE the right person for this and it is the RIGHT time.
Focus on your OWN journey and reduce the need for comparisonitis. Yes, that other person you follow may make things look effortless but that doesn't mean what you are creating can't be great too. Consider where YOU are today and look at all the steps you've taken and how YOU'VE grew. Resist the urge to compare your chapter 1 with someone else's chapter 11.
3) Aim for Progress Not Perfection.
Start seeing yourself as a constant work in progress rather than putting pressure on yourself to be the finished article in everything. We are all learning and growing and every new level comes with a new devil. Be kind to yourself and congratulate yourself on your growth and progress. Aim to get better and lean into that growth.
Above all, remember that these feelings do arise and they are no representation of you or your ability or your reality.
if you have a desire to do big things in the world it is because you have within you the means to make that happen. Doubt doesn't get to influence that.

How To Succeed Online As An Introvert
Think you can only succeed in your Online Coaching Business if you are extrovert? Think again! It's more than possible for you to attract your ideal clients even if you're more introverted in nature. This post is for you if you're ready to show up and shine as you are.in your introvert glory.
How to Succeed Online as an Introvert
The only way you can succeed online is if you are an extrovert.
Okay, I'm totally kidding on that one but keep reading.
A common misconception that people have about me is that I am "naturally confident" and that it's okay for me to be visible online, show up and serve my audience and create success in my business because I have this natural gift.
That I'm lucky that I don't feel fear or get scared. "It's okay for you" I hear.
The reality couldn't be further from the truth. I never wanted to have a business where I was the sole focus. I never wanted to have a “personal brand” so to speak.
That came as a by-product of my decision to focus my energy on building a business I am PASSIONATE about.
When I knew that I loved coaching, I had to get out of my comfort zone big time.
Being in the spotlight was REALLY difficult for me.
For a start, I grew up in a culture where girls were not encouraged to go after their dreams or show up in any way. The complete opposite in fact. I was told to stay back, not to draw attention on myself, fade into the background, be INVISIBLE.
You can't get a bigger visibility block than that!
When I started my first business (in legal recruitment) I literally had no pictures of myself on my website and had all these generic stock photos instead (*cringe) because I couldn't get my head around the idea of putting my face "out there".
Being visible and creating a personal brand has been an adjustment, gradual progress, and a result of doing the mindset work every day to shift the beliefs from "I don't deserve to be seen" to "I have a powerful message to share that I WILL get out there.
This is why I'm so passionate about helping those women like me who grew up believing that they didn't have a voice, who know they have a powerful message to share but feel held back by society and culture and beliefs.
It's why I do the work I do.
Being visible and being comfortable with being seen is such an important part of getting your message out there. You can read the post about 4 Ways to Overcome Visibility Blocks and Attract Your Ideal Clients To You here.

4 Ways To Overcome Visibility Blocks (So That Your Ideal Clients Can Find You)
Are visibility blocks hindering you in your business? You have a great service that will help many people and lots of skills as a Online Coach/Service Provider but the thought of getting visible in your business is stopping you from having the impact you desire? Then I've got you! This blog post shares $ Ways to Overcome Your Visibility Blocks So That Your Ideal Clients Can Find You.
4 Ways To Overcome Visibility Blocks (So That Your Ideal Clients Can Find You)
I’ve spoken before how visibility blocks stopped me from showing up when I started my business.
When I started my business I had zero confidence, no social media presence (in fact a big fear of online visibility) and I had deep-rooted cultural conditioning which told me that I shouldn’t be seen. Naturally, this was an obstacle to overcome in my business that required a great deal of self-development work.
I know many new entrepreneurs face the same so if that's you then here’s how to move past it - bookmark this post to come back to later when you need it.
1) Be okay with having visibility blocks.
Look if you've spent your life being held back by society, culture, your own limiting beliefs, there is literally no point beating yourself up about that.
Instead, give yourself credit for acknowledging that this is an area that you need to work on and do the work.
Look at what beliefs you've created, how they are impacting you, why are they no longer true, and what you want to believe instead.
Create affirmations around those new beliefs and repeat to yourself daily. Getting visible in your business doesn’t come naturally to everyone and that’s perfectly okay.
2) Focus on your ideal client, not yourself.
Put simply if your ideal client can't see you, they can't buy from you, if they don't buy from you, you don't have a business.
Being visible and showing up for yourself in your business is key and something you can't just ignore.
Switch the emphasis away from how you're feeling and onto how what you have can help your ideal client. If you're struggling with visibility put this at the TOP of your list of to-dos to work on. Get help from a Mindset Coach and someone who understands where you are coming from. You can book a call with me here to do this.
3) Manage your visibility self talk.
There is no difference between the women who are confident and visible in their businesses and you, other than they don't tell themselves why they aren't confident or talk themselves out of doing the things they need to do grow their business.
The more you tell yourself that you can't do it, the more your subconscious mind will affirm those old beliefs that don't serve you.
Shift the focus onto the new beliefs you created in Step 1 until they are your reality.
4) Take a step at a time and face the fear.
If your subconscious mind doesn't believe that you are worthy of being SEEN and you force yourself out of your comfort zone to do that, it might lead to panic and self-sabotage. If you need to, take it one step at a time but commit to facing the fear and doing it ANYWAY.
Take small steps to push yourself out of your visibility comfort zone and commit to doing one thing regularly (preferably daily) that pushes you out of your comfort zone when it comes to visibility e.g. a Livestream, putting yourself forward for a guest expert slot, sharing a vulnerable post on social media, etc.
