ReWild Your Business

In this very special episode in celebration of International Women's Day 2024, I'm joined by Malin Rosenkvist from the MicroLoan Foundation. We dive into the incredible work they do, empowering women in Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe to lift themselves out of poverty by providing them with small loans and essential business training.

The Microloan Foundation's approach to poverty alleviation ensures transparency and accountability, allowing donors to see their impact firsthand. By providing creative business training, they empower women with low literacy levels to start and sustain their own businesses in the poorest areas of sub-Saharan Africa.

This International Women's Day, let's take tangible action to support organizations like the MicroLoan Foundation. Whether it's through donations or spreading awareness, we can all play a role in empowering women and creating lasting change in their lives.

As you'd expect, I'm utterly unapologetic about being a little bit Bob Geldof here: Just Give Them Some Money. Please.

A six-part business builder powered by yours truly. I'm taking my business bestie, and the founder / CEO of Stoned Fruit (THE place to go for copy that converts), Rebecca Gunter on a journey to rewild her business...

Are you tired of being force-fed someone else’s definition of success? Do you want to cultivate courage and plant the seeds of radical authenticity and self-belief? Want to regenerate time and energy?

Do you need the space to discover which areas of your business need change, clear away what no longer serves, and allow what does to thrive?

Here's what Rebecca had to say: "I’ve been creatively-stifled and entrepreneurially-frustrated too long. Meet the answer to my prayers: Rewild Your Business, a self-directed intensive retreat by Business Coach (and entrepreneurial activist) Gill Moakes. Gill thinks that we owe it to ourselves to be selfish. She wants freedom-seeking women lacking clarity and confidence within the sound of her voice to “rewild their business.”

What does that mean? It means stripping away all of the clutter and confusion. “Deconstruct the idea that there is only one right way to do it,” she advises. In other words, stop getting choked out by one-size-fits-all-advice and design your own unique ecosystem, redefining what success feels like. I volunteer; I volunteer as tribute. Take me on an excursion into the wild to find the balance and the bravery to make decisions large and small.

In 6 guided sessions, Gill will show us the way to stop overcomplicating EVERYTHING and keep it simple, feel good about marketing, and stay in an abundant money mindset. Rewild Your Business is here to help us reimagine our vision, goals, and a business model that represents what we actively want from our business.

This is a rallying cry for those compelled to do work that matters to them and embody the brand values and North Star statement that speaks to who we really are. She challenges us to dare not be inauthentic by identifying when the fruits of our labor are overcultivated, undervalued, and outside of ourselves—because simple is sublime.

Reclaim trust in your intuition and infuse an injection of hope in 6-sessions? Yes, please.

In this weeks episode I am joined by Tosca DiMatteo. We talk about our journey of overcoming inner critics and embracing self-compassion to live more fulfilling lives. We delve deep into the intricacies of the inner critic, exploring how it manifests and affects our decision-making processes and overall well-being.

Tosca shares invaluable insights into the importance of recognising and addressing the inner critic's presence in our lives. She emphasises the significance of self-awareness and compassion in challenging negative self-talk and re framing limiting beliefs.

One of the most compelling moments of our discussion is when Tosca shares a transformative story about a client who redefined success on his own terms, illustrating the power of letting go of old narratives and embracing new possibilities.

Throughout our conversation, we explore practical strategies for managing the inner critic, including the use of journaling prompts and reading materials to support individuals on their journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

Tosca's kind and empathetic approach to this topic truly resonates with me, and I believe her insights will deeply impact anyone struggling with their inner critics. I encourage you to explore Tosca's work further by visiting her website, coachtosca.com, where you can find additional resources and information about her services.

Thank you for tuning in to this episode. I hope it inspires you to confront your inner critics with compassion and embrace the fullness of who you are. Remember, you are worthy of love and acceptance just as you are.

This week we're revisiting episode #045 - it's something I've been asked about a LOT lately, with many people feeling like signing up new clients is getting tough. This episode is a game-changer in the way to think about enrolling high-ticket clients.

When it comes to signing up new high-ticket clients, your job isn’t to convince them that you’re the right coach or consultant for them. That’s THEIR job.

I don’t want to make someone believe something - I just want them to believe it.

I don’t want to persuade someone to work with me - I want them to LONG to work with me.

So if it’s not your job to convince them, and you’re certainly not going to play those hard-sell games, how DO you enroll new clients?

You give them the information they need to make the right decision for them.

Feeling compelled to do anything more than that comes from your own scarcity/lack mindset. Your worries around ‘where the next client will come from’.

Listen in to find out how to enroll high-ticket clients in a way that feels good to you.

In this episode I'm dishing out my take on the challenges we bring on ourselves due to our constant need for external validation / approval, and why it's so important to be intentional around WHO you seek feedback from.

Ditching your need for the gold stars is incredibly liberating!
