This week I'm talking about one of the most common challenges I see facing corporate mums building their own thing. Inevitably your day job culture spills over into your start up and the often unwritten mantra that "the whole point in business is to make money".

This week I'm sharing a personal example of feeling the fear and doing something from my recent musical debut!

Hitting go on your business feels like a big deal! When you get to that point, you've already taken it further than many people ever will.

When you are starting out in business, finding the focus that you need to make progress with the work you love can be really tricky. And for very good reason. I see there things getting in the way:

This week I'm bringing back one from the archives. This proved to be a super popular episode about what productivity really means to you.

Setting and charging the price that you want in your business can be one of the most challenging aspects of getting established. In this episode I'm sharing the three most common approaches I see new business owners taking, why this is often not sustainable and what comes next when it comes to charging your worth.

I've tried many different side hustle's along the way, hoping that they would be 'the one'. But always, I ended up getting so caught up in how I was going to make it work, that I found myself stuck in a warren of busy work with a business that just didn't feel feasible.

Do you fluctuate between motoring your way through a To-Do list that you will never complete vs a lot of time spent thinking but not actually doing anything?

We so often hear the mantra "Feel the fear and do it anyway" I just don't subscribe.When we aren't able to gauge the level of fear in our body and aren't clear on the intention behind our action, "doing it anyway" can often lead to an experience that we never want to repeat. And so we don't!

The prospect of better work-life balance is often one of the main motivators I hear for starting out in business. I get the appeal of feeling like you have more control over your time and flexibility in how you spend it.

When it comes to social media and just starting out, it's tough to feel like you are doing everything right and yet still not getting any response. Tune into this episode where I'm talking about:

This week I'm talking about what we need to do to feel deserving of our achievements. This can show up in both personal and business life where part of the achievement comes from the hardship along the way. And so we make things complicated, often unnecessarily so!

A life of luxury often isn't what we think it is.If I ask you to tune into what would feel luxurious to you right now, I suspect that you wouldn't come up with a flashy car or a bigger house. I suspect it would be something that is instantly obtainable, like quietness, calm or spaciousness.

My coach asked me one of those slightly mind blowing questions the other week "Where are you not being honest with yourself?".

If you say you’re not motivated by money and you’re open to a different perspective, tune into this episode where I’m offering about just that.

I’m all for following nudges and mixing things up a bit, but when your whole business is based on that it can easily result in lots of unfinished ideas and not a lot of action.

When life gets busy it's easy feel like the goals and intentions we took the time to set have just vaporised into thin air. When our energy and attention is scattered then we don't focus on acknowledging our progress. So even the progress we have made has fallen off our radar.
