ReWild Your Business

So many people believe they need to 'be' a certain way / have a particular personality type to be wildly successful.

I disagree... in fact our real authentic self is our only USP. It's the only thing in our business that can't be replicated. The way we do things / teach things / say things.

The sooner we learn to choose ourselves for success, exactly as we are, with no external validation or permission needed, the sooner we can step into whatever our version of success looks like.

Running a business has become toxically complex. There are too many moving parts. Too much fakeness. The human aspect of business seems to get attended to last.

Just look at the dance with insanity that social media has become. When I stop and think about the contrived, carbon copy pointy finger reels, the more amusing / tragic it seems to me.

What if we stopped doing ALL the things.

What if we worked on conserving relationship building, being genuinely expert at 'our thing', delivering to our clients on what really matters to THEM - not confined by what our funnel automations are restricted to.

What if we worked to restore faith in ethical, quality services over cheap, fast offers?

What if we exercised more discernment over what we consume. Do you realise how badly our creativity is restricted by over consumption of toxic media?

Here's what rewilding business means to me...

It means refusing to blindly buy into the way others 'do' business.

It means carving out your own way by tuning back into your intuition and trusting it.

It means reclaiming your wildest goals... the full-fat version of your dream business.

It means simplifying your business model so you can see the forest, not just the trees.

It means growing your business in a way that FEELS right to you.

It means being who you are and doing what you love. For life.

This week's episode is a bit of a self-coaching session! I'm an impatient person, so there have been times when I've had to work hard to build resilience around the disappointment of 'slower than hoped for' progress.

The truth is, impatience can be a dream-killer.

Making intuitive, yet considered, decisions in your business is a superpower. The frenetic pace that some of us default to is just not necessary...

When I started my first business, as a virtual assistant, I would repeatedly tell people that I had no desire to be in the spotlight and that what I really loved was helping other women build their dream businesses. I didn't want to be like the coaches I worked for - I was happy in a supporting role.

This was a lie (well, the last part was - I DO love helping women build their dream businesses, but as a coach, not as a VA)

I was just scared to tell people what I really wanted due to my crippling imposter syndrome back then.

In this episode, I'm sharing with you 5 things I'd do differently if I were starting my business over today... the first is I'd have started the RIGHT business for me.

Do you have that nagging, 'won't go away' feeling that you were meant for more? More joy in what you do each day. More impact on the world. More money in the bank? I see too many women allowing the 'I've left it too late' story to stop them from persuing what they really want from their life and business. But what if midlife is actually the BEST time to go for what you really want? What if you could leverage your midlife advantage and bring to life your wildest vision? That's what I'm talking about this week, join me...

The excitement of clarity and confidence; the unstoppable power of knowing exactly who you are, who you serve, what they need, and why it matters; the potential to live each day as a lighthouse, attracting your perfect people and projects, authentically in alignment with your passion and purpose —these are the benefits of a positioning statement. 

This is the fundamental formula that inspires Rebecca Gunter to design a plan for brand development done right; the keystone of any marketing effort, brand strategy, or messaging magic. Rebecca shares her enthusiasm for entrepreneurialism, celebrating sovereignty, and putting forth a rallying cry to build brand on your own terms.

This week's episode is for all you business coaches, life coaches, health coaches, in fact any kind of coaches...

I'm talking about what makes someone coachable, and the importance of being able to identify someone who is from someone who isn't.

As coaches, our business is built on our reputation for getting transformational results with our clients, so it's incredibly important that you work with the RIGHT clients - those who are coachable and ready for that transformation.
