Feel the Fear in 2008

Did you know that a young child will fall more than 1, 500 times when learning to walk?  This mean feat is characterised by 3 elements: action, persistence and reward.  A young child has no concept of failure, and therefore no fear of failure.

What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?

Would you start your own home based business?  Would you write a book?   Would you start training for that 10km mini marathon?

So what’s stopping you?  Could it be fear?  The fear of looking silly, the fear of falling flat on your face, the fear of failure?

If your answer is an honest “yes”, the rest assured – you are not alone!  In fact if you know someone who says they never experience fear – pinch them to make sure they’re really human!  Some fear is instinctual and healthy and keeps us alert to trouble.  Too much fear is inappropriate and can hold you back from the life we were meant to live.

Just like that young child, pulling himself up every time he falls down, and attempting those first few wobbly steps again and again and again, we all have a choice... We can choose to try and ignore the fear, to never try new things, to stay inside our comfort zone, never growing, never taking those first few steps... The other option? To feel the fear – but do it anyway!  It just takes courage.

So how do we build our own sense of courage?  Simply put – follow the steps of that young child, by:

Personalised Coaching for Mumpreneurs Starting a Home-Based Business

Personalised business coaching for mumpreneurs from just £100 per month!

Coaching is about bridging the gap between where you are now and where you want to be. For mums starting up their own home-based business, it’s about mapping out the steps you need to take in order to launch and grow your business successfully; and it’s also about helping you discover and grow your own self-confidence to do this.

Coaching can offer you ways to:

• Identify what is really important to you, and what it is that you really want for yourself.  Coaching offers you support.

• Help define, plan and achieve the goals you really want.  Coaching offers you structure

• Broaden your awareness, so you can broaden your options.  Coaching offers you opportunity

• Make smarter decisions and take better actions.  Coaching offers you direction

• Define your own business direction.  Coaching offers you vision

• Solve dilemmas.  Coaching offers you problem solving

• Have a balanced life that includes everything you want for yourself.  Coaching offers you a more fulfilled life – whatever that may mean for you.

      So, are you ready to:

• Know where you and your new business are heading, and plan the right steps to take you there?

• Take action and move forward on your dream?

• Discover, launch and build your home based business in a way that suits you, personally?

• Work in a collaborative coaching partnership, rather than expecting to be told exactly what you have to do?

• Understand that there is a balance between family, business, community and self, and that together we can discover what your own ideal balance is?

When you decide that personalised coaching might be for you, please get in touch with me to schedule a time for us to have an informal chat about which is the best solution for you and your circumstances! This is entirely free - I will call you at an agreed time, for a 30 minute chat where we can get to know each other and talk about what it is you are wanting to achieve. This is not a sales pitch and there is absolutely no obligation if you decide coaching is not for you right now.

There are 2 highly affordable Coaching packages to choose from - at either £100 or £160 per month, depending on your needs.

Mums The Business is here to provide the most productive coaching relationship possible, and I am flexible in the structure that your coaching can take - it is up to you. Our focus in all of these programs is to increase your self confidence, skills and opportunities to start up your own business from home. Please get in touch soon - I would love to chat with you. ...
