Here is a list of the 5 most common problems either I or my clients need to overcome to have success on our own terms. Bringing awareness to the problems we encounter gives us the starting point to do something about it. 95% of transformation is awareness.


Take a look at the list below and highlight what is real pain point and true for you.


1. Balancing personal and professional responsibilities:

  • Difficulty finding time to prioritize self-care and relationships while building a business

  • Struggling to set boundaries and manage work-life balance effectively

  • Feeling guilty or overwhelmed by competing demands on time and energy

2. Finding a niche and audience:

  • Struggling to differentiate the business and it's message in a crowded market

  • Feeling uncertain about who the most ideal customer is and how to reach them

  • Difficulty standing out and building a strong brand identity

3. Overcoming self-doubt and limiting beliefs:

  • Feeling like an imposter or doubting abilities to succeed

  • Struggling with fear of failure or rejection

  • Feeling like not belonging or not being taken seriously in the industry or community

4. Financial and operational challenges:

  • Struggling to manage cash flow and revenue streams effectively

  • Difficulty understanding and implementing business systems and processes

  • Feeling overwhelmed by administrative and operational tasks and responsibilities

5. Building meaningful relationships and partnerships:

  • Struggling to find like-minded individuals and organisations that align with my values and vision

  • Feeling isolated or unsupported in my business journey

  • Difficulty building trust and rapport with potential collaborators and partners


Admitting you have a problem is the first step. Once you bring your focus towards the problem you can then start to look beyond the problem and address the thinking behind the story you are telling yourself. Remember these are not exclusive to a small population, every business women suffers from one or more of these problems. So knowing that, can you accept that the problems we face are universal? Meaning it is not just you, you are not alone in this problem, many women are also on this journey experiencing the same things.


You are not the problem, your mindset and behaviour in how you respond to these roadblocks, is where your power is. It's time to take back control of the victim mentally and find a better way to up level and learn new skills, to ask for help, to start a new course, to become who you need to be, so you can move forward despite the growing pains of a female entrepreneur.


You are enough, you are already whole and complete and you are exactly where you need to be on this journey to learn the next step you need to take. Seek out role models and examples of other inspirational and empowering women, those who show you, just how they have overcome the area you need to focus on.


Make it your mission to print this list out and check back in on it quarterly so you have the personal development pathway to 'Your Success'. Even better buddy up with another women in business and help each other though, or dare I say it... book in a coaching session :)


If you have any recommendations on resources or role models that other women could go to and check out please leave a comment below and let's help each other. Or if you have a pearl of wisdom or quote that's helped you please drop that in there too.

It can be easy to think that if we don't network locally we might not be missing out on anything but I'm here to challenge your mindset and remind you of what you could be missing...



1. Community - being in business for yourself can be a lonely road for some. Getting out and around other go getters who are also challenging themselves on this kind of level can be supportive & inspirational.


2. Stay Relevant & across tools available - Time and time again a chat at an event has sent me googling a new system or tool to use for business, from Facebook messenger bots to ChatGPT, to other local networking groups or training workshops, even just the right connection at just the right time from bookkeeping to legals, to meeting the man who cuts our trees down in readiness for a cyclone season… you have your fingers on the pulse with what is happening right now in real time.


3. Response & Resilience - By being in conversation with your community of problem solvers it means concerns and problems get raised and solved in real time, we get to step away from working in our business and see more the mindset & strategy, the bigger picture.


4. Confidence & Consistency - Takeaways from meet up events stimulate new perspectives and build confidence in finding a better way consistently. Showing up weekly or monthly builds strong relationships, it helps with rapport and trust.


5. Generosity - It builds the muscle of generosity, givers gain, by helping others who we see can benefit from our help sends out a wave of good Karma that when the time is right can result in genuine referrals built off them knowing you are a worthy and that you will deliver a premium service.


6. Personal Growth - As we get more comfortable in our networking tribes we can start to contribute back through helping with organising, promoting events, MC-ing or public speaking. We get to practise articulating what we do on a live audience.


7. Feedback - Quite often as we discuss our businesses and services we also get great feedback, we hear objections, we listen for frequently asked questions, this can help us mature in our businesses or follow the niche we choose.


8. Certainty - Business is not for the faint hearted. It is creative, full of variety & changes daily. Having a set meet up either weekly or monthly can be a great anchor of certainty. This is fantastic for a business owners mindset and also offers a sense of accountability which shouldn’t be needed regularly but can help when life & business are going through challenges at the same times. A sense of calm among the chaos.


9. Fun - Not all of us get time for fun and hobbies when the reality is we run our businesses 24/7, we may have work/life balance but the reality is, that if we are in business, we need to be on top of leads, customer service and are plugged in constantly. Do you want more fun in your life? People who network regularly have more fun, the long time networkers really look forward to their networking events, events are filled with laughter, catching up with old friends, smiles, hand shakes, hugs. There is definately an element of fun.


10. Gratitude - It’s hard not to walk away from any networking event and not have a deep sense of gratitude to its organisers and volunteers that get it going so seemlessly. Being grateful makes us happier people and happier people do better in business.


So there you have it ten benefits to going out there and connecting more with your fellow businesses in your community.


Happy Networking!

This is your guide to help you prepare, be in and follow through on your life coaching or business session as a client.


Firstly, what is coaching?


The International Coaching Guild definition of coaching says...

A successful coaching partnership is one in which movement towards a client's goals are accelerated far beyond what the individual could accomplish without the support and feedback from a coach. Successful coaches and Professional Coaches will have mastered the Core Competencies of Coaching as established by the International Coaching Guild. This includes using the Critical Alignment Model to assist clients in establishing the right environments, systems, implementation strategies and relationships to achieve their goals.


Why it is so important to use these steps:


When it comes to your coaching session, you really do get out what you put in.

Follow the below process to really get the value from your time and money.


Step #1: Preparation

Come prepared. Do your research, find a coach that fits with the tone you want or more importantly what you need. Read testimonials and get a feel for what to expect from the coach as an individual. Don't be afraid to let them know what you need from a coach. For example, it could vary greatly from warmth and emotional comforting right through to a more direct, honest and accountable approach. One of the best things you can do (to not only help yourself but also your coach) is to come with a problem or goal that is relevant to work on in the session. If that's not possible look back over your past couple of weeks and discuss anything significant that has happened.


Step #2: Set The Scene

Be open to new ideas, stay open minded, empathetic and compassionate, play in an open hearted space always. Show up and be completely present, turn off distractions, create a container in which to converse from. Make sure your space is quiet and uninterrupted. Some people like to have a moment of silence beforehand. Set your intention to get what you need from the session. Have a pen and paper ready as well as a glass of water or cup of tea.


Step #3: Contribute

Give yourself permission to be genuine and authentic in answering questions and inviting playful curiosity and the vulnerability to embrace uncertainty in a safe place. Contribute to the session by hearing a question and taking the time and space to think of your response. Be okay with not knowing the answers, in fact these blocks are boundary conditions, once you begin to know what you do not know the answers to, you will create true transformation. Saying "I don't know" to a question from your coach is exactly where you are both trying to reach in a session, to then go beyond and explore together.


Step #4: Embrace The Journey Together

Be prepared to surrender and trust your coach after rapport is obtained. The coaching session is a journey and there is a loose structure that is used to move you from beginning to end. There is no rush, and although timeframes are set as a guide, the true success of a session lies in the experience you walk away with.


Step #5: Three Actions for you to take away

As your coaching nears the end you will come up with some steps you can implement between sessions. Be mindful to leave the session with your key take aways and to have a plan to execute them.


Step #6: Stay connected

Stay connected with your coach post the session as well, they love to hear from you and share in your trials, tribulations, success and celebrations. You now have your own coach in your corner, a cheerleader and champion in your life. It is such a gift. Use them.


Step #7: Review your notes and schedule time to check in on your own progress without your coach

Create time post the coaching session to look at your notes and do a status update on where you are at. This step builds your personal accountability muscle. Write new actions and tasks in your diary and share when you have accomplished. Also take note of any reasons that might be holding you back from moving forward too, things don't always go to plan, journal your thinking to discuss at your next session or give yourself permission if the tasks are no longer relevant to pivot and move in a new direction instead. You are in control. You are the one playing out the strategy that is being tried and tested.


Step #8: Book in your next session

In order to really maintain or create momentum, the ability to manage your calendar will be the thing that gets you ahead faster than most. Prebook your future sessions, decide what works well for you, weekly, fortnightly, as you need them, it is up to you.


Step #9: Go above and beyond

Be the one who has the highest standards, think outside the box and complete an extra task for yourself. Could you get a book on the subject you are overcoming, is there a mentor you could align yourself with or a peer or role model to connect with. Is their more education you can obtain, is their an accountability buddy that might help you or a community group you could join... if you are less empowered, what are you currently doing that is stopping you from moving forward, can you lean in and ask for help where you normally wouldn't? Ultimately, to change, you need to do something different to what you have been doing, go where you don't normally and be aware of the difference it makes.


Step #10: Have fun

With out a doubt the ones who truly embrace and value their coaches are the ones that see the fun it all, don't be so serious!


“If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build, end up building us.” Jim Rohn


In closing...

It's now time for you to start applying what you have learned. Whether you are new to being coached or have been reaping the benefits already, these 10 steps are sure to give you something to think about and work on. Whether it be finding the right coach, or coming more prepared, setting intentions, bringing playful curiosity to your sessions, taking action on tasks or going above and beyond. You now have a path to embrace, go forth and conquer.
