GETTING TO KNOW YOU
can help people through certain situations .
My 6 week LIVE webinar program is a great way for people to gain personal coaching from me in a safe and fun environment and this is highly interactive and with small groups of 20-25 people , all in the same boat - so plenty of opportunity to meet others budding entrepreneurs .
From a community aspect there ’ s the online group on Facebook and physical group on Meetup where people can post questions , meet in person , interact and build powerful relationships with one another . I also have a monthly support program once members have done the 6 week program they can opt-in to be personally mentored by me on a monthly basis and this is constantly evolving to make it more fun and interactive , with calls , webinars and catchups when possible .
What challenges did you face in setting up your business ? One of the biggest challenges I had to overcome was my own belief system that I was good enough to make it on my own . Coming from the security of a successful corporate career where I had teams to work with , support , admin , finance all at my disposal to suddenly having to create an entire business infrastructure that would be able to not only support me but give me the lifestyle I dreamed of , was daunting and often a cause of doubt and fear .
Thankfully with the help of several of the mentors mentioned above and being a part of a fantastic network , I was able to push through the tough times and keep up my personal development and education , so that I was always growing and moving forward . This has been the biggest driving force to get me to where I am today and I am still going through this process on a daily basis . Life ’ s full of personal challenges . It ’ s how well we can skill ourselves to deal with them and still keep on marching .
Tell us about some of the expectations that you had . Have they been met ? When I first got into business I underestimated the amount of work required to make it work . I also learnt through experience that
What types of services do you offer ? Same as question 6 .
Do you provide services nationally ? Yes , we can work with people nationally and internationally as well . Thanks to technology and the internet , there ’ s no geographic boundaries for people getting the help they need , to take their next step in their entrepreneurial journey .
Do you have any plans for overseas expansion ? Absolutely ! I ’ d like to be able to reach people in every corner of the globe , that are struggling with their transition from day job to their own business - to be able to access the information , tools and resources we ’ ve put together so that it makes their life easier and gives them a head start to achieving their goals quicker !
What would you say to someone looking for a business consultant and what advice would you give them ? Once you have your eyes set on making it happen , surround yourself with someone who gets it and truly has your best interests at heard . Consultants are a dime a dozen out there and you can easily waste good money on the wrong person / wrong advice . If you are serious about taking control of your destiny , what you need is someone who will take the time to walk you through the steps you need to take in order to get the results you are after .
