5 Minutes For YOU (Self-Care For Entrepreneurs)

Many of us have made the exciting transition from an office job to being an entrepreneur.

I often lament on how different my life was working in an office – actual lunch breaks!! I would often take breaks from my desk, paid bills at lunchtime or simply a stroll in the city.

When I decided to pursue my entrepreneurial dreams, at first I had so much time for self-care it was AWESOME. But as my business grew I discovered I struggled to fit time in for myself as the days flew by in a busy blur.

This only increased as my workload increased and my self-care practices during my office days needed to be scheduled in or I risked running out of physical and mental energy.

Should You Quit Your 'Real' Job?

I witness many new coaches waiting for someone to hand them a permission slip to go for their dreams and leave their 'real job'.

When I first wanted to start a Health Coaching business I went through the following waves:

  • I ‘think’ maybe I could do this…

  • My colleagues think I’m crazy…

  • I’ve seen others making money from coaching….

  • But others are telling me it’s not possible….

  • And maybe it’s not…

  • But I REALLY want to do this…

  • Could I really leave my job?

  • Yes…no…yes…no…

  • Arrgggggg

Yes… No... I will... I won't...
Can you relate?

Desk Job To Health Coach (And How You Can Do It Too!)

I stumbled across some old photos today that made me seriously do a double-take at what was my reality only a few years back.

In 2012 I was working in one of Australia’s top ad agencies.

I was at the prime of my career – winning multiple international advertising awards for my work and in a role many would do anything to get into.

On the outside I had a ‘fabulous’ career as an Advertising Creative and for all intents and purposes was living ‘the dream’.

How To Become A Health Coach (21 Health Coaches Share Behind-The-Scenes!)

I just got back from a week up the coast in Burleigh Heads. I went to a yoga retreat last weekend, immersing myself in the depth of nature in the mountains (yes again…) and then decided to spend the week up there on the beachfront combining some massive relaxation with massive action.

Yes, that seemed like a contradiction in terms when I set that intention, but you know what - it worked.

I got so much work done along with a huge dose of sleep, beach walking and connection with friends up there too.

In fact, so much stillness and quietness for the week has brought through some new clarity for my business which you will see unfold as the year progresses.

Build A Personal Brand With PR

As entrepreneurs, we know it takes hard work and persistence to build a successful personal brand. One of the most important things is to build a positive reputation, particularly in public relations (PR).

Your reputation is what people say about you when you’re not around. It is what gives you a competitive advantage, and can help drive business and sales.

PR is all about reputation and reputation is everything to a personal brand. It enables you to share your vision with customers while building your profile and influence.

How To Make A Good First Impression (Especially In Person)

I was reading Lisa Messenger's latest book on the weekend and something she spoke of in there really resonated with me.

She spoke about the power of meeting someone in person. How meeting someone in person can inspire you so much more when you realise they are REAL!

This is the power behind a strong personal brand - not just how you show up and present yourself online - but in real life.

Life Lessons vs Formal Education - Do You Really Need More Education?

"Formal education will make you a living. Life experience will make you a fortune."

So the question becomes, as an entrepreneur, just how much education do you need in order to build a successful business?

Is life experience enough?

As women, we often contemplate our worth when it comes to education.
