1:1 Founder Coaching

You you escaped the world of 9-5 employment a little while back (well done, you!) and you’ve been running your own self-employed or freelance business for some time now (at least 12+ months) – on either a full or part-time basis.

You’ve been duly following all the advice, attending all the workshops, reading all the books on mindset, listening to all the podcasts, joining all the memberships, essentially doing all the things business owners are ‘supposed’ to do…

BUT… you worry that you’re dangerously close to burnout, the endless comparison on social media, your overwhelming to-do list and a large dose of imposter syndrome mean that you’ve started to wonder who you are and why you even started your business in the first place.

You’re even wondering if your Great Aunt Maud was right all along; and if you should just go and get ‘a proper job’ after all…

Despite your very best intentions, you’re struggling to maintain momentum and keep your initial spark, motivation and enthusiasm for your business alive.

You’ve been thinking…

I started this business to to find more freedom & flexibility so why am I chained to my laptop day & night?

A nice reliable, monthly paycheque seems so appealing right now.

I miss my colleagues & having a team around me to keep me accountable and bounce ideas off.

I’m really struggling to make progress in my business & keep getting distracted. (hello, instagram.)

I’m saying ‘yes’ to projects just to pay the bills, not because they light me up.

I’m attracting the wrong kind of clients & my confidence has been knocked by a couple of bad experiences.

I know I ‘should’ be more visible on social media but the thought of it fills me with dread.

I have no idea what to say in my marketing- all my ideas have dried up.

I left my 9-5 to have time with my family & prioritise my mental health & yet I feel worse than ever.

I’ve lost sight of why I started my business in the first place, what I want to do & who I really want to help.

Sometimes I worry that I’ve created a monster & feel like throwing in the towel or going back to my 9-5!

I get it. Really I do. I’ve been there. And still find myself there quite often too.

(Which is why I invested in my own business coach!)

This is exactly why I created this is special mindset and business strategy coaching package designed entirely around you and your individual work and business needs.

This 1:1 package will ensure you achieve your wildest career or business goals through a careful mix of accountability, challenge, confidence and mindset coaching and mentoring support.
