Your Business Quest

In the ideal world, we could click our fingers like Mary Poppins & viola … ‘the job is done’.

But in reality, when making changes & growing your business things can often look & feel messier before they get better.

That’s normal, seriously!

Clarity comes after chaos!

Just like that time when I decided to Marie Kondo the heck out of my clothes. The room looked like a tornado had hit it, until I persevered & finished the task at hand. And not even halfway through, I was beating myself up thinking … ‘why oh why did I even start this?’

But every time I open my drawer to choose which pair of Harry Potter themed socks to grace the day with, I smile & think … ‘Ohh look how neat & orderly it now is’. (Yes … sad I know!)

So in this week’s podcast episode, let’s chat about this more & how you can really embrace the messiness of business growth.

It’s filled with practical tips & examples, which I’m sure you’ll get loads of value from & realise that it’s not just you who doesn’t have everything looking ‘Instagram-filtered’ behind the scenes in your business.

Until next week … enjoy growing your business.

‘Will you marry me?’

Now that’s certainly been one of the biggest & most important question I’ve ever asked in my life.

So of course, I thought about it long & hard, before I popped the question to Shareen whilst on a horse-drawn carriage in Central Park on a lovely winters evening in New York. (A true romantic I am, right?).

But honestly I think some people make too much of a song & dance around making decisions … especially when it comes to business.

Because most of those decisions aren’t ‘forever forever’ decisions, right?

I’ve been having fun this week having 1-2-1 clarity calls with clients ahead of the 90 day Mastermind kicking off next week & helping them to make decisions on what they’re going to focus on. 

And I’ve loved seeing the huge sigh of relief when I’ve reminded some of them that their goals don’t have to feel like ‘forever’ goals.   But instead to focus on goals that will help them move forward & achieve even just that next stage of growth in their business. 

In this week’s podcast, I talk about this even more with lots of examples & practical suggestions on how you can get out your way, if you’re going in circles with some decisions at the moment.

Listen in here.

Because I would love to see you take more consistent action, instead of worrying about things like … ‘I need to have the perfect niche before I can put myself out there more’; ‘what website theme is the best to use?’; ‘have I chosen the right colour for my logo?’; ‘should I be doing what others in my industry are doing?’ ….

Enjoy the podcast & I look forward to hearing how it helps you.

Best wishes as always.

‘I want to be earning at least double this salary within the next 2 years!’

‘Seriously … who do you think you are?’ … were the words that were going on in my mind, when I heard my colleague say, just after we’d started on the M&S graduate programme together.

But it was simply down to my money mindset & beliefs at the time.

And it’s pretty scary to see just how much those inner stories can hold us back in massive ways … especially when it comes to growing your business.

So what are some of your money stories & do you have a positive or a ‘rubbish’ mindset when it comes to that often emotive side of business & life?

In this week’s podcast episode, I’ll tell you more about you can recognise & start to change some of those beliefs & stories … especially if they’re not working for you.

You’ll also get to hear why I love going to Starbucks practically every day & why I seriously considered paying a lot extra for my car … so that it would reverse park itself!

Ever say … ‘I want to build my business?’

If so, please swap ‘build’ to ‘grow’.

Because changing that one word, can massively impact your mindset & approach to your business in a positive way.

Here I’ll explain why it can make a huge difference.

Best wishes

The brown envelope didn’t have the chance to hit the floor, before I snatched it from the letter box.

The exam results inside were about to reveal how I’d performed over the last year at school.

And I loved how they weren’t just a ‘pass’ or ‘fail’. Because life isn’t as clear cut as that, right?

Instead, you got to see your performance against a scale & that made them much more meaningful.

And that my friend is a little coaching tool that could help you massively in your business too.

In today’s super short podcast episode, I bring this to life & show how this can help you to get out your way.

You’ll get to see how you really are performing in certain parts of your business & also get more clarity around some of the more ‘intangible’ things … like how you’re feeling & confidence levels.

I’m also super excited to finally reveal the details of the next 90-day Mastermind, which will be 100% virtual. So if you’re thinking that enough is enough & you’re ready to step things up in your business, then see if it could be the right fit for you here.

I’m constantly having well intentioned people tell me ….

‘You should stop doing 1-2-1 coaching & do only group coaching.’

‘You could launch online mindset courses’

‘You should create workshops to help kids be more confident’

‘You must do TikToks for business’

‘You should ……’

Everyone’s got an opinion on what you should, could or must do to grow YOUR business.

And all too often, we can start following strategies & goals blindly, which really are not what you actually WANT to do!

What’s worse many of those things may conflict with your values, what’s really important to you or not play to your entrepreneurial superpower.

So be very picky with who you listen to, especially if they’ve not got the full story or know what your goals are.

In this week’s podcast episode, I talk more about this & share some practical ways for you to avoid ‘should-ing’ all over yourself & your business.

Enjoy & speak soon.

I loved tucking into my first Nando’s chicken pitta & peri-salted chips back in 2004. It was so new, novel & fresh, as I’d never even heard of peri-peri spice before.

From that moment on, Nando’s seemed to be popping up everywhere & new phrase was born … ‘a cheeky Nando’s’.

‘What an overnight success they’ve had’, I remember thinking.

But in reality, they opened their first restaurant back in 1987 … 17 years before I even knew they existed.

Now that’s some ‘overnight’ success story, right?

I know how it can feel when you see other people in your industry have a meteoric rise out of nowhere & ‘overnight’.

Then you’re left thinking … ‘How are they doing it so fast?’ ‘Why am I so behind?’ … (and all the other lovely words you say to yourself in your head).

But in like 99.9999% of the cases (ok I made up that stat), it’s simply not true!

In this week’s podcast episode, I dig into the truth behind overnight success more & even question whether you’d really even want that to happen.

So tune in & hear some practical ways that you can focus on what you’re doing to grow your business … each & every day!

My leaving lunch & drinks were done.  

I’d said my goodbyes & it was finally time to hand back my laptop, mobile phone & security pass.  

That was over 13 years ago, when I stopped being a corporate employee to start my own business.

I remember feeling … ‘this should be quite easy!’. Because after all I had been excelling in the corporate world & climbing the ladder rapidly there!

Yep a very naïve thought, on reflection!

Because being an employee vs. being the boss … is different in so many ways.

In those first few months & years, my confidence went down & I felt like a fraud at times. As there was so much that I didn’t know & I didn’t even know that I didn’t know!

But I also unknowingly did something that I often see other ex-corporate turned business owners do.

I started to quickly forget about the skills & experiences that helped me get results in the corporate world, instead of embracing them!

Please don’t do that!

In this week’s podcast episode, I share some of the key things that you may want to dust off & remember from your past career successes so far. 

I’m sure it will help you spot opportunities where you can still lean into those experiences & see how they could be used or translated into your own business world now.

So are you really 'employing yourself' in your business now?

Best wishes as always & speak soon.

Ever find yourself in the middle of your very own intimate ‘pity party’?

Where the music is blaring inside your head with lyrics like,

‘Why’s it not happening for me?’

‘It’s alright for them!’

‘Is it ever going to happen?’

‘Seriously, what’s wrong with me?’

Well the good news is that you’re the DJ & you can change the playlist in your mind.

Here’s one ‘track’ … or what a coach like me would call a question, which will instantly change things up for you … in a positive way.

I asked it to a client yesterday & their reaction was priceless. And more importantly, it helped them to think, feel & act differently straight away!

That question is:

'What makes you so special that you can't do it?'

It's such a powerful question isn't it? (It comes from a previous podcast guest, Jessica Lorimer's mum.)

Be sure to save it to your favourite ‘playlist’, for whenever you may be venturing into a future ‘pity party’.

Because I know you’re special … but are you really THAT special?

Enjoy.

Speak soon

I wanted to be a Policeman, when I younger. I loved the idea of being a detective & solving mysteries.

But I recently figured out that I kind of get to do that, as a performance & mindset coach … well without the badge, blue flashing lights or handcuffs.

I’m constantly helping my clients solve problems & overcome obstacles, so they can grow their business.

Often it boils down to them needing to focus or fix one of three main things … their Design, their Mindset or their Strategies!

I love it when we pinpoint exactly what their real ‘issue’ is. Because it makes it so much easier to then go about solving it!

To help you see where some of your current obstacles or blocks may be, I’d love to invite you to take my updated ‘Get Out Your Way’ Quiz today.

In less than 2 minutes, you’ll get to be a detective & uncover what’s currently working well for you & what needs your attention!

I’ve recorded a special podcast episode, which will help you to make sense of your quiz results & give you practical ways for you to Get Out Your Way.

Take the updated quiz here & then tune into the podcast episode.

Best wishes as always.
