Ten years ago, I changed the blend of my life and business: Part One

Ten years ago, I changed the blend of life and business.

How I worked.

What I offered.

How I structured my week.

The money I earned and how I earned it.

On paper, I could have easily remained the same.

However my heart, mind and soul said otherwise.

In fact, when I wrote down the new plan on paper, it didn’t make sense.

But yet, it was right. It was right at the time and my instinct was rewarded quickly. But I threw everything at it… I didn’t assume the plan or results would magically reveal themselves.

This week, I want to take you behind the scenes of that process 10 years ago.

I want to show you how and share some of my brilliant decisions and others, I would rather forget, however I think they are important to acknowledge.

Due to the rhythm of my content and how I help clients, this story fits nicely into my four pillars; goal setting, money, visibility and your future self.

5 years ago, I saw another elevation so next week, I will be following up with another four parter.

For now, today, we begin with the vision… enjoy and do come back tomorrow.

For the last 15 years, I have helped many people with many types of goals…

The internet is a wonderful resource; showing us what is possible. However because we often only see the ‘highlights’ we don’t get to see the behind the scenes; the grind, the consistency, the resilience, the failures, the mini wins that make all the difference.

The truth is most goals don’t magically appear over night.

When things don’t come to fruition quickly and easily that can feel frustrating.

I have always been deeply practical and self motivated; I want to know what I can do…

One of the greatest shifts I have made in terms of my own goals, is how I approach them.

Here's a peek into the programme:

Session one: Clarity/Reflection

The ultimate 'where are you now and where you are going'. I'll be honest sometimes this part is not the enjoyable bit... sometimes it is much more fun to set goals and feel inspired.

However we start with this because if you do this bit, everything going forward will be simpler and you will see the results you want quicker. How are you doing? Plus understanding what is going on will create that momentum again; which will welcome creativity, enthusiasm and energy for your business. If you are feeling good and clear, your clients will feel and experience that.

Session Two: Money

I am a big fan of ‘doing what you love’ but I also know that it is much easier when you are in profit and the money is flowing.

This is not about spreadsheets or complicated equations, this is about working out how much money you want to make and how you want to make it. The great thing is you get to choose. You can decide how you design your income pie. This is one of my favourite sessions This session will be about clarity. Once you know your number, everything else will become a process. I know it can seem crass to talk about money so that’s why I have created this space, so you can picture what your money story looks like for this year. I know it can be uncomfortable for some of us delving into our money, but I am here to support your growth.

Session Three: Be it, don’t sell it

You know I hate sleazy pants marketing and templated ‘one size fits all’ models. One of the most popular questions I am asked is ‘how do I sell without feeling ick about it’. Don’t worry there is a simpler way. A way that will feel great for you. Plus if you lean into your uniqueness, everything will become easier and full of more ease.

Session Four: Visibility: The energy and marketing plan

People need and want what you have to offer- but perhaps they don’t know you yet. So let’s build a visibility plan that is aligned with your money goals and your life goals so you can make your work work for you. I want this plan to work for you when you are working and when you are not.
