Your Host!

I have been on a roller coaster when it comes to sales and growing my business. I started out as a Marketing Coach and within 8 weeks I'd enrolled my first client, giving me the courage to quit my full-time job. I ticked over for several years, loved what I did, worked hard and got clients but the big success I dreamed of was elusive.
5 years in I recognised I was playing small, so I invested in several high level mentoring programmes. My business took off – within 2 years I went from £13,512 to £44,763 to £111,533. I’d made it!
Yet I still felt unfulfilled, my “not enough” story still played out and I felt like a fraud, I kept slamming on the brakes and half the time I wanted to curl up on the sofa and have the world stop! I’d worked so hard, achieved my dreams yet it didn’t give me what I craved. How could I continue to teach people how to sell and make more money when it hadn’t given me what I longed for? I stopped teaching sales, I retired all my online programmes and stopped marketing. I went on a journey of discovery.
It was a time of frustration, beauty, messiness, adventure, bliss, angst, excitement, hopelessness, joy and every other emotion all rolled into one! But in that time of exploring, allowing and accepting I came home to me. I guess you could say I had a spiritual awakening – one that took 3 years! It became clear that my talent at sales and marketing and my ability to teach it in a way that resonated with people wasn’t a “waste”. Rather it was the key to my own transformational and spiritual journey AND that of my clients. It was time for me to blend the very practical, numbers based, masculine sales systems and processes, with the intuitive, intangible, feminine realm of spiritual transformation.
