How To Do 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

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.

If you're ready to stop the self-doubt, move past imposter syndrome and make your business a reality then let's talk. My 1-1 Coaching Program is designed to help you overcome the fraud feeling, the limiting beliefs, and imposter syndrome so that you can start showing up confidently in your business.

How To Succeed Online As An Introvert

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. 

If you have a big message to share but right now you’re afraid of being visible, sharing your true essence, and are instead sharing a watered-down version of you then let's talk. I'm accepting applications for my 1-1 Coaching Program from women that are powerful on the inside & are ready to rise up and be seen. You can apply for a call here.

4 Ways To Overcome 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.

If fear of visibility is stopping you in your business and you're ready to create the success you desire then I invite you to chat about my 1-1 mentorship program. During this Program, I will personally help you address your limiting beliefs and blocks around visibility in your business and provide the support and accountability to move forward from that.

Applications are open and you can book your call here.

How to leave the 9-5 and create the life and business you desire

How to Leave the 9-5 and Create The Life and Business You Desire

Around 10 years ago, in the midst of the last recession, I was made redundant. I remember feeling really disheartened.

I had followed the route society had expected _ college, university, got the degree and the "good job" and even though the job didn't REALLY fulfill me, I thought that I was doing what I was supposed to. I had wanted to leave for a long time but I had zero confidence and I was scared to leave the security of the 9-5.

To be made redundant was like a slap in the face. The security I was relying on was swept out from under me.

It didn't take me long to find another job but something had shifted in me. I was sick of putting my future in someone else's hands, I was sick of feeling DISPENSABLE and I was tired of putting my dreams on hold for some fictional security which didn't exist.

I was stuck in a rut, unfulfilled, and living off purpose but I didn't know what I wanted to do and I had zero confidence BUT I knew that I wouldn't be standing still.

I started trying to discover what I really wanted to do in life. I did some courses and started researching and investigating.

I had always wanted to start my own business and even though I didn't have much confidence, I started my own recruitment business. It went well but I remember getting my first cheque for £10k shortly after I started and I felt nothing. I knew this wasn't it.

I discovered coaching and started my diploma. THIS lit me up. I knew this was what I wanted to be doing but I had so many fears and I really didn't want to be the face of my brand.

I started an online product business which I enjoyed. Waking up to sales was amazing. It was literally making money in my sleep but it wasn't IT. This was not my purpose either.

By this time I had started coaching people on the side and I was absolutely loving it. I knew THIS was my purpose. BUT, I had so many limiting beliefs and fears about being the face of my business. I couldn't hide behind a product and I was unknown in a totally new industry.

But I was determined to make my business a reality.

I hired coaches and mentors to help me with mindset, business, and strategy. I applied the learnings and worked on my mindset daily. I shifted the negativity and focused on attracting what I wanted in my life instead.

I knew that I didn't want someone else to determine my future again. I didn't want an economic shift to make me dispensable again.

And it worked. I started attracting my dream clients, making money doing what I love, and no longer being dictated to by someone else.

I know that you might be where I was right now. Worried about your job, uncertain about the future, questioning everything.

But I would invite you to use this time to get clear on what you love to do, make a plan, and start taking action on that. And even though things may feel uncertain right now, there has never been a better time to start your business. That job security you thought was there doesn't exist. It's time to blaze your own trail.

This time can be the catalyst for you too. If you have been delaying then now is the time to move forward.

I’ve created a FREE COURSE to show you how you can shift out of the employee mindset, get started, start working with your ideal clients, and stop relying on perceived security that isn’t really there.

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.
