Have you ever been working on a really important project and found yourself getting stuck and just not making the sort of progress you want to? This was me a few years ago – I had something relatively straightforward to do, but ended up spending a WHOLE day on it – and at the end of that day, I still…
A few years ago I ran a poll in advance webinar I was running on the topic of “heart-centred sales”. To my surprise over half of the respondents answered that their biggest sales challenge was “Closing the Sale”. For some reason this response was not what I expected, and for me it marked one of those big “Aha!” moments that…
Recently I was reflecting about some of the things I observe in the clients I work with and what their biggest problems are when it comes to enrolling new clients, and it got me thinking….. Why is selling so darned hard for heart-centred business owners? After all, if we really care about our clients and want the best for them…
It was October 2010. I’d recently qualified as an NLP Practitioner, hypnotherapist and coach (I already had a Postgrad Diploma in Nutritional Therapy and my Yoga Teacher Training certification under my belt). Always one to do things “properly”, I’d registered my business as a sole trader and set up a business bank account – after all I needed somewhere to…
I want to talk about something that’s been troubling me for a little while now. It’s the idea that you have to be visible if you want your business to work. Could it actually be possible that the idea you have to be visible if you want your business to work could actually be hurting your business? Of course, it’s not…
Today I want to talk to you about something a client of mine did recently, because it makes me think that maybe you are not doing enough of this yourself? What my client did was fail spectacularly at something. This was something that I advised her to do. We’d only recently started working together and one of the first things…
I have been running my mostly online business Selling from the Heart for over 14 years now. Now, that’s not bad going for an introvert is it? Also, I’m no ordinary introvert, I’m an extreme introvert. In fact I’m the most introverted person I know! You could leave me alone with no human company for literally weeks and I wouldn’t…
“Heart-Centred” is a phrase that I use a lot when talking about my approach to business. I first heard it at a time when I was struggling to define who I was in business and who I was here to serve. When I came across it I instantly felt: “That’s it! That’s me… and those are my clients!”. That little…
Many years ago when I first got into to the world of personal development I trained with a mentor who used to say: “Successful people don’t stop having problems. They just have better quality problems” What he meant was that life and business are never going to be easy and smooth and we are always going to have problems. But…
How are you getting on with working towards the vision you created for your business for 2026? Are you making great progress? If so, Yay! High-five from me! But what if you *don’t* feel like you’ve got off to a “storming start” or “hit the ground running” or any of the other powerful ways we think we should be starting…
Happy New Year! Whether you are fully back to work this week or easing yourself in gently (like I am) I hope you’ve had a wonderful holiday season and that you are feeling excited and optimistic about the year ahead! And if you are finding it hard to find your groove so far, don’t worry, the astrology is creating a…
At the time you’re reading this, it’s the last working week before Christmas here at Selling from the Heart HQ. We always close the office for a couple of weeks over the the Christmas holiday period. We’ll be putting the “out of office” on the inbox and the phone service, and going off to have some genuine down time to…
