Business isn’t always unicorns and rainbows. It’s a lot of hard work. That’s fuel for self-doubt and procrastination to fester, leaving you frustrated that you can’t make this ‘running your own business’ thing work. Well I say - You absolutely flipping can!

YOU can find YOUR way forward so you can achieve everything deep down you know you’re capable of, become the best version of yourself and enjoy a life that fulfils your truest wants and desires.

Like I said, this business thing isn’t easy and...

It’s that time of year again.  The daffodils are about to blossom and spring is about to begin. And with it spring-cleaning season! Woohoo! (or not!)  Now while I’m all about finding your vibe and ditching the ‘shoulds’ to do things your own way, I do think springtime is a nice reminder to have a clearout. 

Life can get messy, especially during the wintertime when all you want to do is hibernate under a cosy blanket, but you’ve got to navigate the chaos of Christmas and New Year.  In the push t...

Is networking part of your visibility strategy?

Visibility is an ongoing conversation in the small business world. The more you put yourself out there, the more people know about your business and become interested in it. Interested enough to buy from you. There are all sorts of techniques to make your business visible such as social media marketing and SEO practices (all of which make me yawn I have to confess!)

However, I do love a bit of good old-fashioned networking. Yes, it can feel more ...

Networking is a great tool in the business owner toolkit. Meeting people face to face (in real life or online) is going to leave a memorable impact (in some form! 😉). But there are so many business owners who avoid networking like the plague!

The idea of rocking up to a group of people and trying to get them to buy from you is intimidating - I know cos that's what I thought I had to do when I first thought about starting networking. Thankfully, you don’t have to approach networking as a long sa...

If I asked you to list business growth strategies, how long would it take you to mention knowing and honouring your boundaries?  I’m guessing a little while because our minds usually go to things to do with marketing, networking and selling.  Don’t get me wrong, these are all important areas of business growth, so important that we cover them as monthly topics inside the Find Your Vibe Business Club. 

Boundaries deserve to be on the list as well because just like marketing, networking and selli...

Knowing yourself is the most powerful thing you can do as a business owner.  When you really know yourself, you can give yourself what you need to succeed. It allows you to finally accept that you’re really a night owl, so you ditch the 9-5 schedule and start working 11-7.  As a result, you’re so much happier and as a knock-on effect so much more productive.  It allows you to truly be yourself and that energy attracts your dream clients with a cherry on top. Do I hear big business growth calling...

It’s the cycle no one wants to be stuck in but so many people are!  

You set goals.  

You don’t reach them.  

You try again next year.  

Repeat.  

You’re left feeling like a failure and that procrastination is the only thing you can follow through with. 

Let’s break the cycle!  

What nobody tells you is that achieving goals is a science.  You can’t just want to achieve a goal.  If really wanting it was all it took, you’d already be there.  Putting a strategy behind pursuing your goals giv...

That’s another year almost over.  How?  You tell me!  The years seem to be flying by faster and faster.  As you fight off all the colds and bugs the kids are bringing home from school and frantically look for presents to buy for your loved ones, don’t let goal setting for your business next year fester at the bottom of your to-do list.

What you do now can significantly impact the person you become, the business you run and the life you live this time next year.  Speaking from experience - perso...

You love what you do. If pure passion equaled the number of customers or clients on your books, you’d be sold out and over capacity. Unfortunately, running a successful small business doesn’t always quite work that way. Making sales consistently requires that you harness your passion to effectively market your goods and services so your ideal customers see your value and are ready to buy.

Easier said than done! You’ve got to the point in business when you’re a little fed up with marketing (put...

Here’s the thing, if your ideal customers or dream clients don’t know your business exists and can’t see the value of engaging with it, they’re never going to reach out to you. You can’t attempt to sell to people when they don’t know you and aren’t motivated to find out more.

I don’t mean that to sound harsh. It’s just the reality of operating in the online business world. There is so much fighting for your future client’s attention that you can’t expect to be seen and understood. You need to ...
