Why did you decide to join 90 Day Business Launch in the summer of 2020?
I absolutely trusted in you. Just check all the fantastic businesses you helped get on their feet! That's proof enough... (and yes, I checked out every single one of them before signing up!)
I was stuck and simply knew she would be able to support me. I believed in your expertise and her honesty.
I decided to finally invest in myself. If not now, then I'd never do it and stay stuck on the hamster wheel forever.
Plus, what was there to lose? In three months time I would still be me - either with a business, or without. It's as simple as that.
What were you doing work-wise when you started the program - and where are you now, less than 6 months later?
I was climbing the corporate ladder in a prestigious furniture design company. I loved the company, my colleagues and, at least on paper, my job. But I was feeling unfulfilled and stuck, and felt like I was wasting my potential.
Now, in a momentarily chaotic world, I am focusing my energy on building my creative heartfelt business. One step at a time. No rush, this is a marathon and not a sprint.
We'd love to know both the tangible and intangible results you got from 90 Day Business Launch! Lay it on us:
I was able to build the groundwork for my business, including my website and a marketing plan. Even if I pivot my business idea or decide on doing something completely new, I can always re-use this blueprint. That gives me so much peace and confidence.
I was able to build an entrepreneurial mindset, I learned to believe and trust in myself and my decisions. Be accountable to myself.
You offer a unique combination of business and mindset coaching, which is usually underestimated. It is easy to set up a business plan on paper, but that alone is often not sustainable. You tap into inner fears, limiting beliefs, and guide us to build an entrepreneurial mindset. Believe me, that is gold!
What was your biggest takeaway, lesson, or a-ha moment from the program?
Imperfect and done. Stop trying to reach perfect, stop "futzing" on the details. That will never get you anywhere.
I've also learned what it's like to invest in myself and to make fast decisions, even if they sometimes are "wobbly CEO-decisions". And that feels soooo good!
Plus, you can figure everything out on the go. Just start moving and the answers will find you. Put away the crystal ball!
Think of someone who was in your shoes when we first started working together. What advice do you have for her?
YOU ARE WORTH IT! Invest in yourself and in your dreams. Nobody else will do it for you.
Give yourself permission to make your own decisions, otherwise nothing will ever change. Don't wait for things to happen, MAKE THEM HAPPEN!
There is so.much.happening in our lives and the world that it seems impossible to think we could launch our dream business in 90 days! How did you make it happen? We'd love your best productivity/mindset/time management tip!
Break your tasks down into little dedicated chunks. Like - "I've got 30 minutes to create a mood board on Pinterest and choose 3-4 brand colors." Boom. Just do it. You can always change things later, but reach a (first) decision. Get it out of your head so you can move on. And notice how good that feels!
Get an accountability partner! That will totally push you and keep you going when you feel stuck... And if you join 90 Day Biz Launch, you'll end up having a whole group of like-minded partners at your side! That is such a gift!
If someone wants to reach you and your work, where should they go?
