šŸ’„ Did you know? Over 160k women launched businesses in the UK last year! Yet, the gender gap is real. Women-owned businesses make 66 cents on the dollar vs. men, and confidence is a struggle for 1 in 3 of us.

šŸ™‹ā€ā™€ļø Many women entrepreneurs arenā€™t serial entrepreneurs or MBAs. They seek fulfillment, freedom, impact, flexibility, and financial independence. (This was me! Mum of 4 balancing a demanding HR/OD role.)

šŸ’” With 18 years corporate experience working alongside leaders and their teams to reach their business goals, I founded Women in Business Coaching to help women transition from corporate and launch service businesses.

šŸš€ I work one-on-one, using a step-by-step framework to build strong foundations and mindset for a profitable, flexible business.

šŸ¤ Know someone ready to take the leap? Tag them! Collaborations with women-supporting orgs welcome.

Branding is about intentionally managing the meaning people create about you.

And to to be branding effectively you first need to figure out what you and your business really are about.

It may sounds simple but are you truly clear on that?

Your brand values.

Your brand promise.

Who you serve and the greater vision you have for them.

The practical details you help them to achieve.

When you operate in a saturated market people will buy from YOU because of the qualities you represent.

People will buy from YOU because of the way you make them feel.

People will buy from YOU because you are able to connect with their core desire for whatā€™s important for them right now.

So let your unique brilliance shine through every post, every interaction and every touch point you create to authentically magnetise those who want what youā€™ve got.

How?

Branding can be easy when you understand yourself and have a framework to apply it in your business.

If you are a working mum of small children (or have been one), you may be able to relate to the daily drama of rushed mornings and after-school meltdowns, and the mental toll this can have on everyone over time.

I clearly remember those nursery drop-offs when my boys were little (now 13 and 11) often filled with tears.

Exhausted evenings were spent juggling dinner, bedtime routine, and the ever-present laptop.

With this initial experience of balancing career and motherhood, you may wonder why I decided to do it all over againā€¦ 2 more little ones?!

Yes - now 4 and 2ā€”but life is completely different this time round.

When we decided to grow our family again I knew that something had to shift.

Whilst going into a business of my own wasnā€™t a light decision, it was my way of making an empowered choice and taking control over my future so I could:

**Preserve my professional identity and creativity,

**Make a meaningful difference, and

**Maintain financial independence

whilst also being there for my family.

I created Women in Business Coaching to work with driven females who are ready to prioritise their own values, rather than fit with the status quo.

And who want to honour their potential to create a future on their terms.

Stay tuned for mindsets and strategies to create freedom-first business.

Donā€™t let your wisdom go unnoticed! Show the world what you are made of.

Knowledge is power, and you have plenty to share. Youā€™re the expert, the thought leader, the one who inspires others with your insights.

Could you be the Sage archetype?

Sages are the wise ones, the mentors, the ones who provide guidance and educate their audience.

They attract clients who seek a trusted advisor and value deep knowledge.

Ready to share your expertise and connect with clients who crave your wisdom?

Itā€™s normal for things to fail.

And whilst this can sound disheartening, and make you question why do it, the reassuring truth is that success often emerges from a very small number of events interspersed among all those failures.

Recently, during my morning runs, I got stuck into ā€œThe Psychology of Moneyā€ by Morgan Housel, reiterating that success rarely comes in a straight line. Housel states:

ā€œLong tailsā€”the farthest ends of a distribution of outcomesā€”have tremendous influence in finance, where a small number of events can account for the majority of outcomes.ā€œ

While it may seem counterintuitive to think that we can be wrong half of the time and still succeed, it underscores the power of endurance while working towards our goals.

Remember - Every step holds the potential for exponential success!

I spent this morning presenting alongside the inspirational to a fabulous cohort of Female Founders at the EMPOWER programme at the

Lots of great insights and reflections about and , from creating ā€˜no matter what energyā€™ in order to achieve our dream outcomes to leaning into ā€˜the cringeā€™ and discomfort to overcome our fears.

Thanks so much for having me and to the participants for being an amazing audience to present to.

I speak to a lot of women transitioning out of corporate or in the early stages of running their businesses.

What they want is to establish a professional standing and accelerate their progress to become the go-to service provider in their industry, having years of experience behind their belts already, either employed or freelancing.

What they are missing is understanding the fundamental steps they need to take to position and be seen as the expert, how to build an audience of raving fans, and gain traction with their marketing efforts.

I work with female business owners 1:1 to do exactly that, helping them launch or pivot into a premium business model by implementing a business framework that positions them as professional and high-quality service, so they can confidently grow their reputation, get fully booked with loyal clients and increase their profitability.

If this is something that you feel youā€™d benefit from then Iā€™d be happy to share more insights over a phone call.

For me, having four kids and running a business really doesnā€™t allow much room for trial and error.

Time is most precious and every minute counts towards results.

The key things that I had to work on in last 12 months have been:

ā†Ŗļø My identity and self concept
ā†Ŗļø My thoughts and beliefs
ā†Ŗļø My relationship with money
ā†Ŗļø How I value my time and my work
ā†Ŗļø Nurturing my passion for my work despite challenges
ā†Ŗļø Willpower
and
ā†Ŗļø STRATEGIC FOCUS

Starting a business provides exponential growth and whilst there isnā€™t a magic bullet - it equally DOESNā€™T have to be a struggle when your focus is on mastering yourself and your business strategy first.

Iā€™m here on a journey of my own with ā€˜businessā€™ but I know that regardless of whatever you may think is holding you back from either taking the leap into entrepreneurship or reaching your next level in the game - where there is a will there is a way.

If youā€™d like some insights about what may help you strike the right balance between business and personal life without compromising your results DM me PASSION and we can schedule time to chat.

I've seen the Logo Movie countless times, and rewatching it last night got me thinking about the intrinsic qualities within us and in others that either resonate or don't.

Movies often amplify these traits in characters, creating an immediate emotional bond with the audience.

When we become more aware of our own innate qualities and lean into our archetypes in how we show up in business, we are also able to form instant, genuine connections with those we serve.

Each of us possesses an innate set of skills and qualities that define us as a brand.

Whether you're like Emmet, the Regular Guy, or embody the Hero, Artist, or Sage, brand relatability thrives in embracing these inherent traits.

The power of successful brands is in authenticity, not conformity.

Aligning your brand with your archetype fuels success, it draws your tribe, builds trust, and leaves an indelible mark.

Uncover your unique narrative, infuse it into your brand, and tell your story through the lens of your archetype.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION:

How much should I chargeā“

Donā€™t rely on approval from family and friends.

Look at the bigger picture, find what aligns with you, gain confidence.

Iā€™ve opened up an additional 5 Pricing Strategy Sessions - available until the end of October - where you will develop a fresh mindset about pricing to move forward in a more empowered way.

Somebody has to say itā€¦

Why? Because no other strategy affects your business's success and profitability as profoundly as pricing does.

Here's how to enhance your pricing strategy for greater profitability:

ā˜‘ļø Treat your pricing as your most valuable asset. Give it the attention, value, respect, and honor it deserves. It is bankable and produces money for you.

AND

ā˜‘ļø Select your thoughts about your services carefully. Positive, high-quality thoughts can expand your perspective on the value of your work and boost your confidence in setting your fees.

Feel free to download my Pricing Do's and Don'ts guide for more pricing tips. You can find the link in my bio, or simply send me a DM, and I'll send it your way.

Things you probably didn't know about me šŸ‘€

Hey there!

Let me share a few things here so we get to know each other better!

With 18 years of experience in HR, OD & Leadership Coaching, in 2022 I leaped into business to empower women like me to find freedom and financial success.

I have trained with the incredible Kendall SummerHawk and now deliver her proven step-by-step Money Breakthrough Business Coaching Framework to help women achieve just that.

But my life isn't just about coachingā€¦ šŸ„°

As well as my business, I have a pretty hectic family life! I live with my husband and our children: šŸ‘¦ 12 šŸ‘¦ 11 & šŸ‘§ 3 šŸ‘¦ 2 and two šŸˆ šŸˆā€ā¬› in our self-built house in the Essex countryside.

My beginnings were humble, I am the youngest one out of five, and the only girl. I started school a year earlier so I could complete my education with my brother to spare my parents another year of school runs! But thanks to that I was already out of uni by the age of 20 embarking on my adult life!

Despite dyslexia, I managed to master two languages and get educated to the postgraduate level across two different countries - ongoing learning and growth always take precedence.

Besides coaching and family time, I love gardening šŸŒ±šŸŖ“šŸŒ²šŸ„€ā˜˜ļøšŸŒ¼ Iā€™ve even contemplated a career in garden design but coaching was ultimately my final choice!

My dream holiday is an adventure tour across Japan, exploring traditional Japanese living and rich food culture, staying in family-run ryokanā€™s, and immersing myself in the day-to-day life and rituals.

One day, I will also learn to surf!

Iā€™d love to know your story and your journey. Tell me about your business, where are you from? What are your next vacation plans?

Tag any business friends who arenā€™t on here yet, Iā€™d love to get to know you all!

Deep down, I think I knew this a long time ago.

I recall myself talking to a colleague of mine telling her that I love my job for many reasons but at the same time, if I did not go back there the next day it wouldnā€™t bother me one bit.

I realised this was because my true values and passion were pointing somewhere else, there were other opportunities out there for me that could offer much more meaning and deeper connection.

The key was to discover what it is that truly matters, what is so important to me that I would want to fight for it, I would go into the fire for - and that certainly wasn't my day job.

It was hard to put it down to just one thing but the one underlying value that everything seemed to stem from was about fulfilling true potential.

Realising our talents, dreaming big and going for it, living life to the full, making the most of our opportunities, not being held back by our fears and limiting beliefs - simply NOT SETTLING for what is where we know we are capable of so much moreā€¦

I decided, I wanted to live my life honoring that value every day.

So as you are sitting down at your desk this morning, I am wondering what is one thing that feels as if there is no other thing that matters more to you than that? Whatā€™s the underlying value beneath it that you care so deeply about?

What are some of the decisions and choices that you can make today to honour that value?

Mention someone you feel would value this reflection. šŸ¤

Today, I want to talk to you about something close to my heart: empowering yourself to reach your full financial potential.

As a business coach, I've seen countless talented women like you with incredible dreams and ambitions. But I also know that navigating the business world can be challenging, especially regarding finances.Let's be honest; it IS challenging. But although we face unique obstacles and uncertainties, these do makes us even stronger.

Financial empowerment is not just a buzzword; it's a journey we embark on to take control of our financial destinies and create a solid foundation for our businesses to thrive.

So, let's get practical! How can we empower ourselves and take charge of our financial success?

Understand your business finances. Dive into the numbers, get acquainted with your statements, and know where your money goes. Knowledge empowers!

Seek advice from wise mentors and coaches. They offer valuable insights to navigate uncertainties.

You are your best assetā€”never stop learning and growing through courses, workshops, or books. Invest in yourself for higher returns.

Empowerment is a journey, ladies, and we're in this together. Let's lift each other and inspire one another to embrace our financial potential fearlessly! šŸ’•

You already know that you want to get your business started profitably without it consuming all of your time and attention.

You are ready to harness the power of your expertise, knowledge, and ambition to put your mark on the world, create a lasting impact, and feel fulfilled.

Starting a business requires a strategy and a mindset shift to create the right opportunities, to build solid structures and to allow a space for you to stretch and grow.

You don't have to navigate this journey alone and with a clear process and accountability it will become easy to achieve your gaols.

"Passion for Profit" has been designed for women like you who are seeking a clear approach to set their business up for long-term success. Check it out https://womeninbusinesscoaching.co.uk/passion-to-profit

Are you turning your passion into a business?

You might be wondering, whether you're just starting out or navigating your first few years in business, about the exact steps that will lead you to where you want to be in the most direct way possible.

Ultimately, you aim to quickly position yourself as a professional, credible, and relatable - building trust with your audience, securing clients, and achieving your business and personal objectives.

Personally, I've walked in your shoes. I found myself at a crossroads after two consecutive maternity leaves and subsequent redundancy. My burning desire was to share my coaching passion and skills with the world, but the path ahead was uncertain.

The one thing I knew? I DID NOT want it to be a struggle!

When starting from scratch, you anticipate that things won't happen overnight, yet you want a level of certainty that it won't take a lifetime.

Building from the ground up takes more than just passion - it requires the right mindset and a proven strategy.

If you're NOT the kind to leave things to chance, waiting for opportunities to come by, but rather you want to be the architect of your destiny, consistently creating your own opportunities ā€” then let's chat. I have a coaching program that is perfect for you.

"Passion for Profit" has been designed with women like you in mind who are seeking a structured approach to establish all the essential business foundations. Check it out! https://womeninbusinesscoaching.co.uk/welcome/f/from-passion-to-profit-building-a-thriving-business-with-purpose

A little while ago I found myself feeling as that I was missing something, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was...

Can you relate?

I analysed every action and every task, made sure I had ticked everything off. Yet, I could see that things just weren't happening in the way I wanted them to, I kept asking myself why.

I got to a point of thinking that I if I continue doing things the way I always have I will keep getting the same results.

Deep down, I knew that if I was willing to venture into new territory and open myself up to new possibilities, I could create fresh ideas, produce innovative strategies, and craft practical solutions to allow exponential growth.

I know that my own thinking is the key to taking purposeful action and creating results I want to see.

This week, I am opening up an opportunity for YOU to try this out ā€” to venture into new territory, to use a safe thinking space where I am 100% there for you, to formulate actions to create meaningful results for yourself.

I am inviting you to an intensiveĀ Niche Breakthrough FormulaĀ coaching sessionĀ that simplifies the art of niche selection and empowers you to attract and work with the right clients.

This session is for you if you struggle to:
Create a connection with clients despite your continuous efforts
Generate a consistent stream of enquiries
Clearly communicate the value and results your work delivers

And if you are ready to:
Embrace new possibilities
Elevate your marketing game
Become a respected and sought-after expert in your industry
Reach new levels of success beyond where you're currently stuck

I loved going live yesterday with Niche Navigation and Client Conversion Masterclass, already seeing creative juices flowing, new thinking sparking, and possibilities opening up.

Imagine what gets to happen when we actually sit down to do the work!

When was the last time you did something for the first time?

It seems like the theme of the past 12 months for me. From not having a job for the first time since leaving uni to starting my own business and everything in between.
