Last year I was working with an amazing lady who had her own business in Financial Services. She was working every hour god sent to meet the needs of her many clients leaving her exhausted, resentful and a slave to the business that was supposed to give her freedom.

Freedom to spend time with her children, who were nearly grown up and who she rarely saw.

Freedom to enjoy her husband, who she’d not been on a night away with since before the children were born.

Freedom to pick and choose her work hours, which she never did because she let the clients run her diary.

It was no wonder she’d fallen out of love with the business and it was starting to impact on how she felt about herself.

Working together over 10 sessions the results were incredible.

She increased her client work and yet reduced her working hours. She went on several mini breaks with her husband and booked their first holiday alone. Plus she allowed herself to accept the help he was constantly offering her having refused it for years. She improved her relationship with her children and spent more quality time with them, as well as working with them to encourage them to contribute to the family home.

Her lightbulb moment was that she wasn’t leading her organisation it was leading her.



Working on these 5 areas made all the difference. 

Accepting the Leadership ROLE.
She made time for business development and strategy. This was something that had been missing before, as she’d simply been operating in a reactive way, as she picked up more and more clients, through word of mouth. She started to look at the model of business she would thrive in and made changes that allowed this to happen. She took on a team, as scary as this felt, in order to have others to delegate to  with stronger skill sets, in areas she knew she was weaker or that she didn't enjoy, in order that she could work in her zone of genius more. Almost immediately, she began generating more income and working fewer hours.


Creating good boundaries in life and business.
She reset her energy everytime she moved from home to business and allowed herself to switch off and enjoy recovery time, something she had never done. Yes she had been going to the gym but she couldn’t stop thinking about work the whole time she was there before our work together. Now she can. She also made conscious decisions around what she wanted to do and if it was meeting her Vision, mission and strategic decisions. If it wasn’t she said no confidently, without guilt.



Prioritising what is important to you and creating systems within your business.
She had systems that wouldn’t allow her to grow and were keeping her stuck in a burnout cycle. By identifying what systems were missing, what wasn’t working and what needed developing she created a business model that allowed her to prioritise effectively and gave her opportunities for long term growth. 


Managing your energy.
She’d been managing time and this was not helping her perform at her best. She reclaimed hours of time and loved feeling super productive, as she began to use the techniques I teach for managing energy and working with her What’s getting on your TITs? planning system.



Remaining focused and staying accountable.
There were many times during the process she felt like returning to the comfort of the old status quo, but in working with me and being kept accountable, she stayed true to her next level consciously created plan and found that she was calmer, more focused and had more time and energy for the things she loved to do in work and beyond.
