A lot of people I know run a small biz these days – sometimes as their only source of income, but often as a hobby biz on the side. I started my biz in 2006, and it grew very organically along the way initially without the amazing social media we have at our hands today. Over the years, I’ve coached friends and clients to help them overcome the blocks stopping them from starting, or growing, their small…
Have you ever said or done something in the heat of the moment when you were emotionally charged, that you wish you could have taken back? The old saying of “sleep on it, because it will look different in the morning” comes into play here.

That’s so true when you’re focusing on self-growth. It’s about releasing all the stories and limiting beliefs that have held you back and have caused you to do (or not do) things that your best self would do differently.

Last week I sent out an email to my peeps asking to get to know them better by them sharing with me what they’re struggling with, and questions they’d like to ask me. One of the questions I got was; “How can I overcome feelings of unworthiness when it comes to money? I am going into business and don’t want to sabotage it before it’s even off the ground!
