Are you joining us?

As mothers of young daughters (Charlotte being mother to Alissiah, 12 and Alayah, 18 months and Grace being a new mum to now 8 month old Eliza-Rae), we know what it is like to feel that we sometimes place on ourselves that we know all too well the realities of having an unpredictable schedule due to our little ones whilst trying to start and grow a business.

We have fast learnt that the key is to trust the process by navigating through moment by moment and giving ourselves some grace.

Launch periods used to be frantic for us. Real hustle energy and it didn’t make it enjoyable. Now we have found a way to approach our business in a more relaxed energy, knowing things still need to be done and will get done but on a more aligned timeline.

Sometimes we put so much pressure on ourselves to try and do everything now or at once. That’s not the way life or business works. Everything will slot into place but first there are a few things that need to be considered.

We reveal more on what we do to help keep our thriving business growing whilst still being present with our families.

We breakdown:

1. How to effectively work with what you including the time you have as well as the resources available to you.
2. How drafting in support from others for both life and business has really helped our business to propel forward.
3. The simple art of slowing down to speed up and what that will mean for you and your business.
4. How to intentionally become more aware of the negative habits that may start creeping in during every growth period and how to effectively start letting go of them.
5. The power of ONE. How stripping it all back to simple in our business turned our business around for the better.

We know better than anyone how frustrating it is to start a business without any guidance.

Millions of new business ideas go by the wayside due to burning too much money and ‘midnight oil’ before once-hopeful entrepreneurs realize they needed help. 

Over the years, we have seen people make the same few excuses for why they can’t start an online business. Today I discuss the single biggest reason why many struggle to start (and grow their online business) as well as three sure cert ways to overcome this obstacle.

Key Takeaways

1. The importance of understanding why you are struggling to start or grow your online business so that you know where you need to focus.
2. The rule of one. All you need is one “irresistible” offer, one promise and one transformational result
3. Where to focus your efforts to get 80% of your results from the actions you take
4. Why progress over perfection is winning mindset to adopt if you want to move the needle closer to where you want to be in your business.

We are constantly getting in our own way and it stops us from reaching our true potential. There is always a practical way to get something done, but a mental block can leave you feeling completely helpless and at a loss of what plans to put in place.
