As a coach one of the hardest things for me is talking about results my clients get. Because…

They aren’t mine! I’m just a small drop of grease in their business wheel that helps them on the way.

When it comes to business coaching especially when working with someone online I also know what a minefield it is.

You know most weeks on my free fitting calls, I hear stories that make my blood boil of how people have invested in coaches who… 

....haven’t really helped them and they feel burned having spent £1000’s. 

It's hard! rebuilding that trust!

I can’t guarantee results, I can only guarantee how I show up.

But wanted to share Kate's story...

Kate joined the Nail it Mastermind which merged to become the Stable Foundations Hub PLUS

This is her story:

“I had reservations about working with Jenni because, honestly I felt silly for not knowing the answers to very simple questions like What do I want? What’s my target client? I knew I wasn’t doing enough to promote myself, but I didn’t know where to start or what to do!

And even though it felt a bit self-indulgent, (to need an “assistant” for my very small modest business) I made the decision to join the Nail It Mastermind for a few months to see what could happen.

Jenni is genuine, honest, and easy to talk to. Her encouraging logical, calm responses to problems, helped me gain confidence and was a calming influence.

The most obvious benefit to my business from working with Jenni is how I promote my clinics. These now fill in the first week of advertising!

I also find it easier to talk to people about what I do, and I feel comfortable with my holistic approach to coaching both horse and rider.

And it might seem small, but I have clarity on who I really want to work with!

I know I need to take time out from working and actually plan for the weeks ahead.

I know that people need to hear about what I’m doing to feel able to join in.

I know I am improving at self-promotion and marketing.

In my time in the Nail it Mastermind I loved the Tuesday session. The timed working sessions made me do all the things I didn’t want to, and I could ask the questions there and then.

I would recommend Jenni to anyone who has lost their way or is lacking confidence to take the plunge into their desired profession, and a safe space for anyone wanting to be part of a group of like-minded people.”

If you feel called to work with me but are battling reservations or are sceptical because it's a BIG investment.

GOOD!  You are 100% normal (I’d actually be more concerned if you didn’t)

This is why I offer FREE fitting calls, These are mini-coaching sessions because I want you to have confidence that I can help you and if you don’t then we aren’t a good fit! (Everyone is allowed one Free Fitting call - its like try before you buy LOL!)

If you’ve never had a free fitting with me you can book one here https://www.jennibush.com/free... (or if you’ve had one I’d love to hear what you thought about it and if it helped you or if you'd love to share your story of working with me like Kate, or leave a review, I'd appreciate it)

🚫 Do you really have to be NICE and give yourself away to please others because you’re a business? 🤔

Someone pushed a client's boundaries today! They wanted to pick their brains about what they do, using that sly "I’m your friend" tone (despite being a competitor). 😒

You know me! I believe in fostering relationships with competitors, but I draw the line at sleazy...

❤️ "I'm your best mate, spill the beans..." vibe from brain pickers. 😒🚫

(You know the type, right? We may be nice and approachable, but we're not pushovers!) 🙅‍♀️

But hey, sometimes we struggle with setting boundaries...

From day one, women have been conditioned to be "good girls," always saying yes, and prioritizing others' needs over our own!

I'm here for you and my tribe of recovering people pleasers with blurry boundaries! 💪👯‍♀️

How do you know if you have boundary blur in business? 🤷‍♀️

If you:

✅ Say yes to every request, even when your schedule is packed.

✅ Put everyone else's needs before your own, leaving little time or energy for yourself.

✅ Seek constant validation from others, questioning your worth and decisions.

It's not your fault! We've been conditioned that way!

I get it! The pressure of feeling pulled, trying to be the good girl, please and help everyone while screaming "Nooo" inside SUCKS! 😫

When my client faced a cheeky request like that, I asked her 3 questions:

❶ Do you owe this person anything?

❷ What could happen if you give them what they want?

❸ What could happen if you don't?

Is it really worth your time and energy?

Guard your boundaries!

No one will do it for you.

You're in business! 💼

If you don't have the time or energy to deal with this, who says you have to?

Build your walls! (Okay, sometimes they feel more like rotten posts, but keep building) 🧱💪

STEAL my BOUNDARIES! 🚧

My boundaries are tested daily. I don't always manage to defend them, and that's okay! I take responsibility for that.

But as a rule:

1️⃣ No coffee chats for brain-picking! If you want my expertise, book a call and pay for it! ☕💰

2️⃣ Prioritise messages: Clients first, leads second, and the rest may not get a reply unless it aligns with my values.

3️⃣ No phone calls unless there's an appointment or it's from a close friend or family member.

4️⃣ I don't check emails until after lunch.

5️⃣ I limit 1:1 clients to 5 per month.

6️⃣ My core program, Stable Foundations Hub PLUS, runs fortnightly to allow rest and avoid burnout. No live calls during school holidays (except for August, which includes mentoring calls and group support only). The lower price reflects this. 📆💤

Setting boundaries is tough! But if you're struggling with boundary blur in your business, DM me today at @equinebusinessassistant or @jennibushcoaching and let me know! 💌

I may have something to help you break the cycle
