In this quick tip episode, Fiona digs into a behaviour she sees all the time in small business — self-sabotage.

• Why so many small business owners unknowingly block their own opportunities
• The difference between saying no because something isn’t aligned and saying no because you’re scared
• How to accept PR, podcast and media opportunities before you feel “ready”
• Simple questions to ask yourself to stop self-sabotage
• Why feeling nervous is normal (even for experienced people) and how to act anyway
• How small, brave yeses create visibility, connections and growth
