All 'My Personal Business Journey' Posts
It was October 2010. I’d recently qualified as an NLP Practitioner, hypnotherapist and coach. And always one to want 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 pay in that £60 I got from my first ever paying client! Incredibly that was…

I recorded this video at the end of a month I spent living and working in Perth, Australia last year. I wrote and recorded it sitting next to the pool outside an Italian style villa in the Perth hills – the day after I went for a walk and bumped into a kangaroo! I felt inspired to record this video…

As I shared in last weeks video about Business Models, over the past couple of years I’ve had a big shift in my own business model, moving from a high-ticket mentoring programme to a low monthly investment membership community. However, it wasn’t an overnight thing – it was a shift that happened gradually over a long period of time. First…

If you’re anything like me, then building a business you love will be really important to you. But it’s all too easy to build a business based on something you love but then find that you don’t actually enjoy it.

Happy New Year! New Years always have that bit of extra meaning to me because my birthday falls on 30th December so it’s a new “age year” as well as calendar year, which gives any planning or intention setting that bit of extra significance. I like to do my planning for the year in early January, when my head is…

If you’ve been reading my emails recently, you’ll know that last month I was promoting Ann Wilson’s Financial Freedom University. That got me thinking about joint ventures and how they’ve been such a key part of my business over the years, both in terms of those partners who spread the word about me, and the partners whose products and services…

I’m doing this video today because I wanted to talk to you about taking radical action in our lives or our businesses when there’s something really important to us that we want to achieve. As you know, I’m currently promoting Ann Wilson’s Financial Freedom University, and taking “radical action” is one of the things she talks about within that programme. …

When we start something new, we all start off “not knowing what we don’t know” and business is just the same. That doesn’t mean we are stupid, failures or not cut out to run a business. It’s normal to feel a bit at sea. And it’s not just you – it was me too! So I thought I’d share with you…

I’ve been feeling inspired for a little while now to write a series of blog posts about my first few years in business, partly to show that slow and uncertain starts are more the norm than the exception, and that things are often very different behind the scenes to how they look from the outside. But before I start there’s…

I’ve been back at work for 2 weeks after my month-long break over Christmas and New Year (and my birthday too!) and so far January has been a complete whirlwind. What with VIP days with new private clients, late Christmas lunch with the Business from the Heart mentoring Alumni (pictured) and kicking off a brand new Membership Community (currently in…

I shared with you last week about my 6 year anniversary that’s coming up on 26th November this year, and the 3 things that I believe have been key to my success. This got me reflecting on the way that I grew my business and as I thought about the different milestones along the way I noticed a bit of…
