I truely believe that sometimes the true block in our pathway to success is our inability to get out of our own way, dissolve the negative mindsets that are standing in our way and some times in extreme cases this can literally manifest in self sabotage in the form of procrastination, fear & limiting beliefs - ultimately stopping us from reaching our full potential.

In this episode i discuss money mindset issue, imposter syndrome, fear and limiting beliefs and how you may not even be aware they are causing havoc in our lives.

The common thread i'm hearing so much in our one on one coaching sessions is how lost you are feeling in your business. It's so common when we have so much information coming at us about all the things we should be doing - Instagram, websites, pinterest, branding and the list goes on and on.

The main driving reason i feel that sometimes this can result in churning and burning, chasing your tail and not really driving your business forward in a meaningful way, often because the basic business foundations that i believe all successful creatives need a missing.

While on the surface it may seem like your doing the right things, beautiful work, pretty photos - but the inconsistent enquires and lack of engagement on social media, i think - are because these very important foundation pieces are missing.

This episode i discuss the top 5 issues i'm discovering with my coaching and why they are so important to have them rock solid.
