Do I need a freebie giveaway?
The freebie is a tempter for your ideal client to get to know you more without them paying any funds. The freebie us also to help build that magical know, like and trust. Two purposes for your freebie; it's your opportunity to interrupt their current hell and help...
Is your big why compelling enough?
Is your big why compelling enough? Walt Disney said words to the effect of “If you can dream it, you can do it” and these are very very powerful words. The mind does not know the difference between imagination and reality. Don’t believe me? Think about a...
Conquer the overwhelm
New coaches do not just have to conquer the overwhelm of attracting clients. They also have to conquer the overwhelm of creating their business too. There is just so much to think about and not only that, there is so much information available on the internet that...
Make the space and see what happens
Everything in life is about the balance of space within the 100% whole. Make space in your life and, before you know it, the universe brings something along to fill it up! Sitting in a conference last week, the topic came up about "making space in your life for new...
Building your know, like and trust
Build your know like and trust I saw a video clip on Facebook this morning of a 5 year old being herself. Being true to herself. Enjoying herself. And it was just lovely to watch. You can probably find it on my Facebook page because I just had to post the link....
Is Christmas fraught or military precision?
My Mum has been cooking Christmas dinner for 49 years, this year it will be her 50th! Before that it was her mum, my Big Grandma. My childhood memories are full of warmth, fun and lovely food. I am sure over the years, as tastes have changed, the menu has tweaked...
New shoes and time management?
Surely connecting new shoes to time management skills is a stretch, I hear you ask. I was sorting things out in the house this morning and found a pair of shoes I had totally forgotten about! The shoes are now proudly sitting on my shoe shelf, ready for the next...
My journey to becoming a coach
My journey to becoming a coach has been an interesting one. I have to admit becoming a coach was not on my radar as a single mum, recently divorced with no income. When I left school my mum told me to learn a skill I could fall back on. Choosing shorthand and...

The difference between reality and imagination
The mind is a very powerful thing and also very easily to influence. The mind cannot differentiate between reality and imagination. It plays tricks on us, we can dream in the night and wake up in a bad mood, all because of a dream. I remember when I was younger I...
Perfectionism and procrastination
Perfectionism and procrastination, don't you just love these two words? They cover a multiple of sins, such as "I can't launch yet because it is not perfect" (perfectionism). Or "I don't know how to do that, I need to learn it first" (procrastination). Oh the joys...
If you can dream it, you can do it
When I was working at the local college I walked passed these words every day. "If you can dream it, you can do it". It has taken me a while to understand the quote, but now I do I love it. I do wonder if I had known this as a teenager, would my life be any...
Chasing shiny penny dreams
Are you chasing shiny penny dreams? What are shiny penny dreams? It is where you choose a methodology start to follow, then believe there is something more important to learn elsewhere. So you abandon your current path to see what it is? Metaphorical dreams Dream...
My mindset journey
My mindset journey has been, and continues to be, an inspiration to me. It all started accidentally when my daughter sent me an email saying "Mum enter this competition". I had no knowledge of mindset, I was totally oblivious of energy alignment. Little did I know...
Time management or manage yourself?
When working in the Corporate World, as part of regular training, I was shown many different time management tools and techniques. By applying the different teachings we would be more in control and get more done, or so the trainers said. Having a list of jobs-to-do...
Can mindset coaching unleash potential?
Can mindset coaching help release your full potential? Now that's a big question. Hmmmmm. My full potential? Just how big can I go? What can I actually do? How can mindset coaching help me achieve this? Maybe the better question is "what is holding me back?" or...
Is life really a hamster wheel?
Does life have to be a hamster wheel? I remember when I was working at Rolls-Royce Aerospace, for 17 years, I thoroughly enjoyed being there, I enjoyed the work, the people, the team. So what was there not to like? My husband of the time was very eager that I climbed...
Does Small Business Coaching have a place for meditation?
To me Business Coaching was all about step one, step two etc and no place for soulful solutions. How wrong I was. It all started on the first of August. I was watching a "look behind the scenes at how I do my Business Coaching" video, which was most enlightening...
