  • 13. How To Turn A Global Pandemic Into A Massive Business Success - With Kat Williams

    In this episode I speak to the inspirational Kat Williams who set up Zest Fit Virtual, an online fitness studio delivering awesome workouts directly to peoples homes.

    10 years ago, Kat set up her own fitness business to spend more time with her kids after deciding the corporate world didn't fit into her life as a new mum, 10 years on, Kat says it's the best thing she's ever done.

    Despite having to completely rethink her business model after COVID hit in 2020. It meant she had to completely close the doors on her fitness studio and re-imagine how her business would work.

    What transpired was Zest Fitness, a business that is now way more successful than her original business model.

    In this episode, Kat talks to me about: 

    • How to turn massive set backs into new opportunities. 
    • How she continues to look ahead and evolve her business and how you can too.
    • What to do when you constantly worry about other people and their opinions and how you can stop this sabotaging behaviour. 
    • How to differentiate yourself in a crowed market, so you can stand out, be unique and be wildly successful, despite the competition.

  • 10. How Your Mindset Can Sabotage Your Success With Charlotte Balbier

    This week I am chatting with the amazing wedding dress designer turned mentor and coach Charlotte Balbier. 

    Charlotte talks to me about how she overcame her own limiting beliefs in order to build her own successful coaching business after a series of life events including a marriage breakdown, bereavement, anxiety and becoming a new mum left her feeling frazzled and stressed out.   

    Her own mindset and beliefs made her feel that she was too old…at 39 to start again, that she couldn’t replicate her success and didn’t have what it takes to create a new business. 

    Thankfully, for all the women she now supports, Charlotte sought help from a professional coach and set about totally transforming her mindset, building her confidence and self-belief. 

    She shares with us, some of her biggest learnings as well as how she has gone on to create a successful coaching business helping other creative women get out of their own way, build their confidence and create a life and business they love.  

    In this episode, you will discover; 

    • The most common mindset blocks and challenges that female entrepreneurs have and how to overcome them. 
    • Why talented women doubt themselves and what you can do to build your confidence. 
    • Why failure is all part of the entrepreneurial journey. 
    • How you can enjoy the highs and lows of running your own business.
    • Charlottes biggest turning point and how she managed to make 2020 her best ever year!
    • The best advice if you are starting out in business, or returning back to your business since having kids. 
    • How to constantly push yourself out of your comfort zone and start creating the results you really want in your business. 

    If you’re in business, and you know you have more to give, but you just lack that confidence and self-belief right now, or your mind is full of self-doubt then this is a must listen.  

    If you’re looking for inspiration, then you’re in the right place.

  • 8. How to overcome impostor syndrome!

    Impostor syndrome is something that plagued me for years.

    That overwhelming feeling that I wasn't good enough and that one day, everyone else around me would realise that I wasn't a very good coach!

    Impostor syndrome laughs in the face of ALL YOUR EXPERIENCE.

    It discounts your achievements and puts them down to luck, right place right time or even the fact that someone felt sorry for you.

    I would say things like "anyone could do what I do" REALLY! Anyone!

    In this episode, I spell out what impostor syndrome is and if you recognise any of the symptoms, you're not alone.

    It's estimated that 70% of us have experienced impostor like feelings at some stage in our life, so welcome to the club!

    The good news is, we weren't born with impostor syndrome.

    In fact quite the opposite and I explain how this is good news for us if we want to finally shake those feelings of self-doubt.

    Impostor syndrome feels like 50 rocks in your pocket, dragging you down, holding you back from greatness! Well no more!

    One day, I had enough of feeling like a fraud, waiting to be found out!

    So I set out on a mission to discover exactly what I needed to do stop feeling like an impostor.

    Turns out, it's ALL in our control, we have the power when it comes to saying goodbye to impostor syndrome!

    I share ALL in this episode!

    Send me an email and let me know if what I describe in this episode sounds like you! [email protected]

  • 7. Sharing a brew with the fantastic Nicole Louise Winer

    Starting a business can feel daunting to say the least, I mean where do you even start?

    In today's world of Facebook, Instagram and the like, it can be tempting to look at what others are doing and conclude that's exactly what you need to be doing in order to create a profitable business that you love.

    I know from experience that this approach only leads to dissatisfaction, unfillfilment and feeling, well a little hacked off.

    In today's episode, I chat with the lovely Nicole Louise Winer, who is a business strategist and freedom coach. She runs the online Business Growth Community and helps business owners create a business on their terms, not based on what you see others doing.

    Nicole believes, and I am with her all the way, that it's massively important to build a business on what works for you so that you can create freedom in your life and business.

    She is so right when she tells us that it's OK to put YOURSELF first, because if you do, you will have a greater impact in the world.

    Have a listen and hear all that Nicole has to say, you're gonna find some absolute gems in here!

    Building the confidence to sell is vital if you want to create a successful, thriving, profitable business.

    Of course, knowing your ideal client and having a clear sales and marketing strategy is key.

    But so many business overlook the need to have a rock solid sales mindset.

    Our thoughts dictate everything we do, they cause our emotions, our actions and ultimately our results.

    So if you feel afraid, scared or have a whole heap of limiting beliefs around selling, (no selling isn't needy, sleazy or desperate) then you're going to find building your business way harder than it needs to be.

    Selling to your clients can be fun, if you have the right mindset.

    In this episode of A Cuppa Confidence, I will show you exactly how your own beliefs can cause you to self-sabotage, hold yourself back and stop you earning the money you deserve.

    I'll share with you the strategies that you need to free yourself from these limiting beliefs and I will also share with you the best bit of advice that I ever received when it comes to selling.

    I will explain exactly what it is that makes us so scared of selling, so you can overcome your fears and sell authentically.

    You will no longer worry about rejection when it comes to sales, allowing you to build a business you love.

    The tools, strategies and advice that I will share transformed why whole business. I started working with clients I loved and made the money I deserved.

    You can see the exact same results, if you take on board advice I share.

    I've even set you an easy and very effective sales challenge that will see you selling with total confidence.

    I simply couldn't afford to allow my mindset to hold me back any longer.

    Don't let your beliefs hold you back.
