On “keeping up” – and why Tortoises go faster

I filmed this video while attending an event in Toronto in Canada a while ago – and since then it’s become one of my most popular videos ever.  I’ve shared it over and again with my membership and my clients. I created it as a reminder to you (and to me too!) that there is no such thing as trying…

I really struggle to sell myself

Today I want to talk about a phrase that I often hear: “I really struggle when it comes to selling myself.” Every time I hear it, I just think: “Ouch, no wonder you’re finding it difficult!” You see, to me the idea of needing to sell yourself, feels like such a lot of pressure. In fact, I would hate it…

Why selling by the session hurts everyone

Today I want to talk to you about why selling your services by the session or by the hour is not only hurting your business, but it’s also hurting your clients. I have been teaching exactly why this puts you and your business on a downward spiral inside my Get More Clients Saying Yes! course for many years. In the…

Running a Business as an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person)

I created the video a few years ago while on a road trip for the summer, travelling and working from my campervan. And yet, despite it being my choice to spend the summer that way, I soon caught myself beating myself up a little for choosing to take life at a slower pace during the summer – telling myself that…

The Sales Conversation – What can go wrong?

Why they’re just not “getting” your Value

I recently did a survey of my community asking you about your biggest challenge when it comes to getting clients.  The number one response from the survey by quite a long way was struggling to communicate the value of your services and not being able to clearly articulate to potential clients why what you do can make a difference to…

Overcoming fear & resistance to your vision and goals for 2023

How are you getting on with working towards the vision you created for your business for 2023? Do you feel you are making great progress? If so, Yay! Have a high-five from me! Or maybe you have that “Oh no, it’s already February!” feeling and you are wondering where the last few weeks have got to. If that’s you, it’s…

My Personal Money Story

This week while I’m “talking money stuff” and sharing Ann Wilson’s Financial Freedom Workshop series it feels like the perfect time to reshare this video about my personal Money Story again – it was originally recorded several years ago, but it is still an accurate summary of my money journey to that point. **NOTE:   This was recorded several years ago…

How NOT to convince people to buy from you

There’s something I often hear from people who are looking for help with their sales: “I can’t convince people to buy from me” or “I can’t persuade people to pay for my services”.  What am I doing wrong? Traditional sales methods would have us believe that trying to convince or persuade someone is the goal of the sales conversation. However,…

The Vulnerability of Sales

There’s so much that we do in business that makes us feel vulnerable. Of course we want clients to notice us and to be attracted to us, but putting ourselves out there can feel scary, because we’re opening ourselves up for potential criticism and rejection. Watch the video below or scroll down for the blog. Some marketers say that if…

Are you Funny About Money?

When I run the Get More Clients Saying Yes course for authentic sales conversations I always start out by exploring our relationship with sales and money because our beliefs and attitudes in these areas can really hold us back in business. After all, if you believe that it’s wrong to charge money for your gifts or talents, that earning money…

Is this the REAL threat to your business during Covid-19

There’s something I want to talk about today that I’m seeing a lot of right now and I’m really fearing for a lot of small business owners because of it.   In fact it’s the thing I think is creating the most danger for a lot of the small business owners in my community – and I’m seeing it over and…
