Let's talk about something we've all been feeling lately: running a successful business is tough right now. Everything is so much more difficult and more overwhelming than it used to be. Getting the same results takes 5x the effort! So I wanted to make this episode to share with you a few ideas to help you deal with the struggle if you’ve been feeling like this. In this episode I share:   Some powerful insights and conversations from a mastermind I recently went to.   The difference between the launch results we used to get at FEA, and the results we’re getting now (and what we need to do when these dips happen).    The number one question I ask myself when things around me feel overwhelming.    4 important actions you need to take in your business right now to start feeling better and getting better results.    Read the show notes: https://femaleentrepreneurassociation.com/2023/11/business-survival-guide-4-things-to-do-when-times-get-tough/ If you would like to submit a question for me to answer on the podcast, all you need to do is share it through this form here &gt; FEA INSTAGRAM CARRIE GREEN INSTAGRAM CARRIE &amp; CO.

Sophie and her husband decided to leave London in search of sunnier climes, and with the knowledge that they could run their online businesses from anywhere in the world, they moved to the gorgeous island of Mauritius. Sophie is the founder of Life Reboot Camp, an online program and community that helps women get the most and the best out of their life. When she was 17, Sophie would joke that her dream was to live on a French-speaking tropical island. Fast forward to the present day, and she now lives that exact dream! With a little help from her husband, who was always interested in entrepreneurship, Sophie shed her mindset that a traditional, “stable” job is best and that building your own business is “dangerous”. She started with a mummy blog during her pregnancy in 2012 and from there, discovered the limitless opportunities of the online world. That’s when she joined the Members’ Club, which Sophie says helped her stumble upon her current business idea, which had always been the missing piece of the puzzle. She launched her business two months after joining and has since created amazing success!   In this podcast, Sophie and I discuss:  Her journey from living in the South of France, on to London and then to running an online business from Mauritius. The epiphany she had a month after joining FEA and how she launched her business idea only a month after that. How she surrendered control before she had clarity around her business and simply trusted that the information she needed would come to her. The fears she had to overcome as she started putting herself and her business out there and being really vulnerable with what she was sharing. The incredible way her business has grown since launching in February 2018 and how she has since written a book and hosted a retreat in the UK. The reaction and self-assurance she had after the first sale from someone she didn’t know! The internal work she had to do on herself when all she wanted to do was run and hide shortly after launching her business as she feared being judged. Why having an online community of like-minded women is so important to her. Her incredible journey to writing her book: How To Be Happy...No Matter What Sh!t Life Throws At You, which talks about all the difficult experiences she’s gone through and the tools she learnt to overcome unhappiness.  Sophie’s top tips for success are:  Anything bad that happens is there for a reason - it’s a learning experience or something that you need to go through to experience something better. When you’re trying to figure out what the next step is, don’t get too consumed with what other people have done and what the “right” thing is - think about what YOU want and how you’re going to make it happen.  Don’t listen too much to other people’s thoughts, many times they are simply projecting their own insecurities onto you. Don’t accept “societal norms” if you are unhappy. Life is not about sitting up and putting up, because that’s “just the way it is”. You have complete control of your life and your happiness so decide what will make you happy and do it.    Website: www.sophielebrozec.com

Roseanna Croft

If you’re building a product-based business and want to create more meaningful products that reflect your personality and encourage a movement around shared values, then this episode is for you! In this episode I’m joined by one of our amazing members from the Members’ Club, Roseanna Croft,  who is the founder of Roseanna Croft Jewellery, a fine jewellery brand that designs bespoke and one of a kind pieces, to tell your story and capture memories. After blagging her way into her first job as a goldsmith and working in the jewellery industry in Australia, Roseanna decided to boldly move back to the UK to start her own business. She declined a number of job opportunities and, with some help from her uncle, an established jewellery designer, she set up her own shop, up levelled her skills and slowly grew an amazing customer base. Roseanna realised that building a business was a lonely journey, so she decided to join the Members’ Club. She says it has not only helped her learn all about social media and building websites, but also gave her access to an incredible community and the opportunity to find answers, inspiration, support and even friends! Roseanna shared how, after following an Annual Goal Setting And Planning Workshop, she went on to surpass the revenue goal she set for herself, doubling her turnover within a couple of years.   In this podcast, Roseanna and I discuss:  How she not only moved countries, but also decided to take the plunge and open her own shop, even without any business experience. The fear she had to overcome when approaching banks for a business loan and the organisations she joined to learn all about business and being an entrepreneur. The early phases of her business and how she worked with her experienced uncle to learn for him, up level her skills and slowly build her own client base. The product-creation process, from idea stage to building entire product lines that get people talking. How she overcame her tendency to constantly question whether she’s doing the right thing and found the courage to put herself, her products and her business out there. Her biggest wins and how she has managed to get industry and regional press coverage as well as being recognized as a “Rising Star” by an industry magazine. How she went from a low point in her life to embarking on a personal development journey and making self-care, her mind and her values a priority. The process behind her new product (which has been 4 years in the making) and how she injected storytelling and meaning into it, that has now grown into a movement and attracted significant press attention. The importance of having the end destination in mind and accepting that the path might change, but if you keep working and moving forward, you’ll get to where you want to go.  Roseanna’s top tips for success are:  Make self-care and living by your values a priority. Always make time to take care of your mind and body. Learn how your mind works and develop self-awareness - Recognize when you’re falling into a negative mindset and try to get yourself back on track, because there’s nothing like the power of positivity. Believe in yourself and when you see other people’s success, remember that you can do it too and that anything is possible!

49: Creating Products With Meaning And Building A Movement with Roseanna Croft - Success Stories

Creating a compelling brand is so important for developing the story of your business and, ultimately, winning customers. But there's more to it than simply choosing your fonts, colour palette and art style.   Here is my breakdown of the questions you need to ask yourself and the actions you need to take in order to develop a successful, compelling and incredible business brand:   1 - The brand is the personality, the heart and soul, the feeling of what a company is.   2 - If you position your brand’s values clearly, it creates a platform for customers to identify with. 3 - Ask yourself what values you actually want to infuse into the essence of your business. 4 - Be clear with the voice of your brand; this will help customers to emote and identify with it. 5 - Ask who your audience actually are. Build a brand according to their perspective. 6 - Create avatars of your ideal customers. Who are they? How do they live? What are they like? 7 - Who is this person in relation to who your company are? How can you help to serve them?. 8 - There is no such thing as a unique message, only unique messengers. 9 - Get involved with designing; as the founder, it is your vision. 10 - If your strength is not in creative thinking, outsource the design tasks to an amazing creative. 11 - Don’t compare your Chapter One to someone else’s Chapter Twenty! 12 - Use tools like Canva to do a lot of the heavy lifting for you when designing. 13 - Put together a brand mood-board so your design style is consistent and in line with your voice. I hope these tips really help you to create the brand of your dreams. I know that for me, building a brand has been one of the most exciting and fun aspects of developing the Female Entrepreneur Association, and I really hope you get as much joy from the process as I did!  Carrie  xx   Download the free 28 Day Business Blueprint here! https://femaleentrepreneurassociation.lpages.co/smb-free-audio/

61: How to Create a Compelling Brand For Your Business

It blows my mind how radically different and successful my life has been since then, and integrating these easy habits into my life played a massive part in this.  So here they are, these 5 habits could help you create so much incredible success in your life:   1. Focus on the major things not the minor things. 2. Manage your self-discipline. 3. Go all in, every day. 4. Be really alert to things that are stealing your time. 5.

50: Reviewing the Decade and Looking Ahead

The New Year is nearly here, and one of the things I most love to do before I start a new year is to create a mantra for the year!  It's so helpful to have a go-to saying for the year that you can keep coming back to when things get difficult and you're struggling to remember the purpose behind what you're doing.  The idea is to centre your thoughts around one phrase that can help you to keep pushing forward in order to create the success that you want over the course of the year, but it can also just be a lot of fun to play around with creating your own mantra!  I'd really encourage you to give this a go yourself - think about what's been most bothering you or holding you back in 2019 and have a go at creating a mantra in response to that problem. And if you're struggling with the exact wording, feel free to pinch one of the mantras that I've given here!

52: Creating a Mantra for the Year!

If you’ve gone from business idea to business idea and still struggling to make it work, then this podcast episode will give you all the motivation you need to hang in there and keep persevering. In it I chat with Kc Rossi, one of our amazing FEA members, who worked her way through an incredible nine different business ideas in four years, only for the 10th idea to finally take off! Kc is a business coach who helps female entrepreneurs (mostly in the Holistic field) create online courses so they can have a bigger impact and make more income, as well as building a business around their life so they can avoid burning out. She started her entrepreneurial journey at just 19 years old, when, along with her business partner, she tried everything from jewellery to house painting. After almost giving up, she decided to give it one final go, starting a handmade confections company, which took off and grew beyond her wildest dreams to hit seven figures. Kc joined the FEA Members’ Club in order to be part of an engaging community of thriving women who truly support one another. She says she has made amazing connections and loves using the accountability partner feature to meet women with the same mindset, that get as excited as her when it comes to chatting about conversion rates and lead magnets! Sold it in 2011 and she started looking at other businesses in interests she likes. She became a certified aromatherapist and a certification for mind-body eating. In those realms she noticed that there were wonderful people that were going from a corporate job into a passion project. They would graduate from these certification courses without any business skills and land into a “now what?” phase.   In this podcast, Kc and I discuss:  Her journey through nine different business ideas before she managed to make the 10th one work and what happened when it all took off. The importance of giving your ideas and projects time to grow and gain momentum. How she found a gap in the market for her next idea after selling her first successful company, that revolved around her passion. The fear she had to deal with when transitioning from being behind the scenes of a brand and part of a partnership to being the solo face of her business. How this helped her break out of her shell and drop the “introvert” label, which she had hidden behind for so long. Kc shares the personal and spiritual work she had to do to get out of her own way and how she dealt with the fear of “Going Live” every day. Overcoming that internal tug-of-war when you discover your potential but can’t seem to do anything about it and you’re standing in your own way. How struggle is simply an inevitable part of the process for most solopreneurs and how it helps us develop empathy, clarity and gratitude. One of her biggest wins with recently landing a dream client. How to respect the hustle at the beginning of building a business and the need to then look at ways of reducing the workload to avoid burning out.

In it I chat with Kc Rossi, one of our amazing FEA members, who worked her way through an incredible nine different business ideas in four years, only for the 10th idea to finally take off! Kc is a business coach who helps female entrepreneurs (mostly in the Holistic field) create online courses so they can have a bigger impact and make more income, as well as building a business around their life so they can avoid burning out. She started her entrepreneurial journey at just 19 years old, when, along with her business partner, she tried everything from jewellery to house painting. After almost giving up, she decided to give it one final go, starting a handmade confections company, which took off and grew beyond her wildest dreams to hit seven figures. Kc joined the FEA Members’ Club in order to be part of an engaging community of thriving women who truly support one another. She says she has made amazing connections and loves using the accountability partner feature to meet women with the same mindset, that get as excited as her when it comes to chatting about conversion rates and lead magnets! Sold it in 2011 and she started looking at other businesses in interests she likes. She became a certified aromatherapist and a certification for mind-body eating. In those realms she noticed that there were wonderful people that were going from a corporate job into a passion project. They would graduate from these certification courses without any business skills and land into a “now what?” phase. In this podcast, Kc and I discuss: <ul> <li>Her journey through nine different business ideas before she managed to make the 10th one work and what happened when it all took off.</li> <li>The importance of giving your ideas and projects time to grow and gain momentum.</li> <li>How she found a gap in the market for her next idea after selling her first successful company, that revolved around her passion.</li> <li>The fear she had to deal with when transitioning from being behind the scenes of a brand and part of a partnership to being the solo face of her business.</li> <li>How this helped her break out of her shell and drop the “introvert” label, which she had hidden behind for so long. Kc shares the personal and spiritual work she had to do to get out of her own way and how she dealt with the fear of “Going Live” every day.</li> <li>Overcoming that internal tug-of-war when you discover your potential but can’t seem to do anything about it and you’re standing in your own way.</li> <li>How struggle is simply an inevitable part of the process for most solopreneurs and how it helps us develop empathy, clarity and gratitude.</li> <li>One of her biggest wins with recently landing a dream client.</li> <li>How to respect the hustle at the beginning of building a business and the need to then look at ways of reducing the workload to avoid burning out.</li> </ul> Find out more or connect with Kc Website: <a href="http://www.kcrossi.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.kcrossi.com</a>

53: The Power Of Relentless Perseverance with Kc Rossi - Success Stories

Niki Hutchison

When Niki Hutchison realised that her corporate job did not accommodate working mums, she knew something had to change. And after returning to work following a health scare, her decision was made: She needed to quit that job and take her career and her lifestyle into her own hands. Niki has now been an entrepreneur for eight years, after starting a hip-hop dance school for kids based in Edinburgh. But after a few years she realised that what she really wanted was to develop a business where she could work from anywhere. She credits a fellow Members’ Club member for opening her eyes to the opportunities that starting an online business would afford her. So with a background in marketing, Niki decided to become a marketing strategist and set up Niki Hutchison Ltd.  &gt; In this podcast, Niki and I discuss:  Why she decided to quit the corporate world and start her first business. How she realised that it was her marketing skills that were the true value. The journey she went through to find the confidence to step back into a marketing role and set up her second business. How a Members’ Club member opened her eyes to the opportunities of online business and the possibility of having the freedom to work from anywhere. How she overcame obstacles and used her online business to fulfill her lifelong dream of spending her Summer living and working in Ibiza with her family. Her goals, plans and dreams for the next few years and what she’s focusing on right now to make it all happen. The importance of having clarity around your business strategy before diving in. The biggest challenges she has had to overcome throughout her entrepreneurial journey.  Niki top tips for success are:  Think about your overall business goals first of all before jumping in or spreading yourself too thin across too many social media platforms. Be strategic and use your specific goals to create your own strategy. Once you have your strategy in place, make sure that you’re regularly checking in on the results so that you can keep doing what’s working and eliminating what isn’t. Make sure you’re clear on which of your revenue streams are actually bringing in the most revenue. If looking at your competitors is sending you spiralling into a negative mindset, just mute that out and focus on your own work. Get clear on your own goals and what you would like your own business journey to look like.

64: Designing Your Lifestyle Through Your Online Business with Niki Hutchison - Success Stories

Caz Wilson

In this podcast, Caz and I discuss:  How she comes from an entrepreneurial family and learned an entrepreneurial attitude at a young age from her mum. How she moved to the US and got an office job in Las Vegas working in corporate marketing but soon realised that it wasn’t as fun as she anticipated it to be and how she realised she wasn’t suited for the corporate world and she felt stifled. How Tim Ferriss’ book, The 4 Hour Work Week, opened her eyes to this different way of looking at work + discovered FEA in 2017 and decided to join FEA instead of continuing to focus on her corporate career. First thing she did: she looked into her company’s policy on starting a “side hustle”, thought about the lifestyle she wanted, wanted flexibility, fit the lifestyle. Honed in on her marketing skill and how badly she wanted to leave. Identified why she really wanted to quit and what she needed to do to make it happen. Biggest ways FEA has helped her: seeing the community and how other women did it inspired her. The monthly calls and visualisation. How she managed her schedule building a business around her busy 9-5 and family commitments. How she visualised the feeling she would feel and the music she would play driving away from her office for the last time. How she feels looking back and having come so far and overcoming the challenges of juggling both her job and her business. How she started finding most of her clients from the FEA Members’ Club.  Caz’s top tips for success are:  You can learn any strategy, but mindset is the thing that will make or break you! Go out and make sure that your business is what your audience wants and don’t wait until you have a business to start building your audience. You can start a Facebook page today! If you’re networking in Facebook Groups and putting yourself out there, people will look for you online! Share what you’re doing, build your audience and don’t give up!

59: Working Full-Time And Building A Business On The Side with Caz Wilson - Success Stories

Caroline Vickery-Clark

Caroline’s earliest memories are of her mum and dad sitting around the table talking business, so already from a young age, she knew she wanted to pursue business and that this was the right path for her. After quitting a university course that just wasn’t right for her, Caroline threw herself into her mum’s card and gift shop, where she managed the business and worked with other local entrepreneurs to introduce initiatives in her town to help high street businesses. From working in the corporate world to growing two brick-and-mortar businesses, Caroline joined the Members’ Club and couldn’t get rid of this niggling feeling that she wanted to start an online business that would help decipher marketing for other small business owners. This led her to set up Golden Treasure Business Consultancy, which helps entrepreneurs in early stages understand what marketing is, how to stand out and get their voice heard. In this podcast, Caroline and I discuss:  Her journey from following her parent’s lead into business and setting up multiple successful businesses to focusing on what she does best and making an impact. How a local council initiative put her in the lead and helped her discover her passion for helping small business owners. How an unexpected, last-minute talk she had to give landed her the first client for her consultancy business. The biggest challenges she has faced and the scariest parts of becoming the face of her new marketing brand and sharing her story. How she’s managing to juggle motherhood alongside running two businesses and how she divides work and family time. Her goals for growing the business and taking it to the next level and the importance she’s putting on the impact aspect. How she’s using the feedback she’s gathering from her audience and from Facebook Groups such as the Members’ Club to build her online course module after module. All about learning to be flexible, improving and pivoting as you go along and not letting challenges defeat you.  Caroline’s top tip for success is:  Don’t try and be everywhere, on every platform, and don’t forget the offline world. We all spend so much time online that we often forget what else is out there and the offline marketing strategies we can put to good use.

66: Making A Living By Making An Impact with Caroline Vickery-Clark - Success Stories

When I was a kid growing up, my dad used to tell me, “Decide what you want and write it down”, and so I created a Goal Folder! My Goal Folder became a storage space for all of my biggest dreams as a teenager. I would write down the things that I really wanted at that time, without limiting myself by what was “realistic” or “sensible”, and then use cuttings and illustrations to create a physical scrapbook of what I wanted my life to look (and smell) like. I just see this as a bit of fun, but it’s a bit of fun that’s actually very powerful. My goals have changed a bit since creating this first goal folder, but the point is that it’s all about intention-setting. You need to get really aligned with your personal and business goals; articulate them; get them out of your head and into the physical world and then use them as your North Star, so that you have something tangible to work towards.    This is something that I would highly recommend doing to anyone with big dreams. This is how I would go about it:  - Have a dreaming day and connect with what you want to make happen in your life.  - Get proactive.  Write down the things that you want.  - Create an energy of success around your goal folder.  - Keep coming back to your goal folder to remind yourself of the things you want to achieve.

48: Planning the Most Successful Year of Your Life

Lorraine Dallmeier

As soon as she returned to work after having a baby, Lorraine soon realised that she was being held firmly back by the glass ceiling. She had been dabbling with creating a side-income for herself, so when the opportunity came up to take over the online course company she had been enrolled in, Lorraine took the plunge. She had seen it simply as a side-hustle, but it turned into so much more than that. A few years and a lot of hard work later, Lorraine has grown her business, Formula Botanica, into a global success, with almost 9,000 students across 161 countries. Formula Botanica is an online training school for people who want to learn how to make their own organic skincare or haircare and how to then turn those products into a viable and profitable indie beauty brand. In this podcast, Lorraine and I discuss:  How being held back at work after having a baby pushed her to start her own business. Her journey from being a student in her own online education business to buying and taking over the company. All the changes, updates and processes she had to put in place to revive and grow the business, the steps she took and the things she focused on. The successful launch that helped her realise she could quit her job and work on the business full-time. How she used customer feedback to change and improve the business. How she juggled growing the business and raising two children and the lifestyle she has managed to create for her family.

70: Growing A Side-Hustle Into A Global Business with Lorraine Dallmeier - Success Stories

Laura Robinson

Do you ever wish that as an entrepreneur, you would get to go up on a podium, get cheered and applauded and given a medal every time you had a win in your business? Because it’s never an easy journey and every single challenge you overcome and every single win is worth acknowledging and celebrating! In this episode of the She Means Business podcast I’m joined by the amazing Laura Robinson, founder of Worditude, who went from corporate job to building a successful copywriting business. Laura shares with me all about her journey, restructuring her family life to make room for her business, fulfilling her dream of taking her kids to Disneyworld and celebrating all the little “Gold Medal moments” along the way! When she first went self-employed, she started out doing by-the-hour freelance work for agencies that were all run by men and was so lonely she joined FEA. In this podcast, Laura and I chat about:  Her journey from corporate jobs, into freelancing agencies and finally managing her own successful business and fulfilling her goal of taking her kids to Disneyworld. The gap in the market she identified in the copywriting industry and how she discovered a way to serve people in a more effective (and profitable) way that also made her happier. How she first got started and discovered that she had to charge more. Her struggle with feeling like other people seemed to be achieving success so much more quickly and easily than her. All the friends she made through the Members’ Club and the part they have played in her life and business. How she restructured her family life to make room for her business and what her day looks like now. Her dreams and goals and how she balances between dreaming big for the future and being grateful for what she has created up to now. Her love for sport and how she celebrates and acknowledges her little wins through “Gold Medal Moments”.  Laura’s top tips for success are: Don’t panic if you feel like everything around you is going the wrong way, it’s not a sign that you’re failing. A lot of times if you’re tired or overwhelmed, you’re looking at things from the wrong perspective and you just need to take a break or talk to someone about it who understands (like your online business friends!). Don’t read too much into it when you feel like “I can’t do this anymore”. Give yourself a break and things will seem a lot better when you come back to them with fresh eyes.

58: Learning to Celebrate Your Victories

Tip #1: Make it easy on yourself I remember when someone told me at the very beginning of my business journey that I needed to build an email list. I had no idea what that even meant or where to start! It felt so overwhelming and made me feel paralyzed because it seemed like there was so much to do. In the end, I just made it easy for myself and started off with a really simple form on my website to attract subscribers. I didn’t even have an email service provider at this point! I was just copying and pasting addresses into my own personal email and then emailing people whenever I thought I needed to. After a while I discovered Mailchimp and from there I began to build an email list using a pop-up on my website that simply said “Sign up to receive a weekly dose of inspiration from me”. That was it! The number one most important step you can take is to get started, so don’t let anything hold you back! Just get started in the simplest way possible and then build and improve from there. Tip #2: Get clear on what you’re going to be emailing to your list Once you’re all set up to attract subscribers, the next step is to get clear on exactly what you’ll be emailing them on a weekly basis. What types of emails will you send to your list to nurture those relationships and provide value? Create a simple plan of what you could send out every week and remember that it doesn’t have to be some complicated piece of content, like a video, podcast or a really long blog. You could simply send out a tip, an inspirational quote, a piece of advice or a story you can share that somehow provides value. Once again, keeping things simple plays a huge part in rapidly creating success and then building on that. Make this doable or you likely won’t do it consistently. Tip #3: Tell people about your email list! People actually need to know about your email list in order to want to join it! Start out with a goal of getting 100 people on your list, even if this includes all of your family, friends and people who are not likely to be your customers. Knowing that people are actually receiving and reading your emails, maybe even replying, is a hugely powerful mindset shift and builds momentum. Remember to just take it step by step We all have to start out with a goal of getting our first 10 subscribers and then our first 100 and then 200 after that and so on. So many of us never start because we’re on step one and we get frustrated that we’re not on step ten. Make it as simple as possible for yourself, stay consistent, be patient and go through each step as it comes along and before you know it, you will have built a list of thousands of subscribers, potential customers and one of the most powerful and profitable assets for your business. If you want more help building your email list from zero or you have an existing list and you’d love to skyrocket your momentum and growth, then you definitely need to check out Amy Porterfield’s amazing masterclass for the Members’ Club!

62: Building A Business To Live Life On Your Own Terms with Vicki Nicolson - Success Stories

Louise Luton

Sometimes even a job you once loved is no longer the right fit. This is exactly what happened to Louise Luton, who, after 20 years of teaching art and drama, started struggling with the pressure she was facing and having to deal with crippling anxiety. She decided she had to make a change, and despite the common misconception that you can’t make money as an artist, Louise was an artist at heart and decided she would figure out how to make it work, so she set out to build her business, Louise Luton Art. Louise started seeing a return and her business going from strength to strength within six months. She later decided she needed to uplevel her business again and that’s when she read She Means Business and eventually joined the Members’ Club. Saldy, the tragic loss of her father stopped her in her tracks and she went through a period where she felt she couldn’t go on growing the business. This is where Louise says the community and support she received from the members of the Members’ Club was indispensable, helping her realise that she was strong enough to keep going, step by step, growing the business and honouring her father through her art. In this podcast, Louise and I chat about:  Her beautiful art and how she has created multiple sources of revenue through her website, art galleries and by visiting art fairs. How being a successful artist means you also have to manage the business aspect. Louise shares how she managed to make it work when she first started and the important part that the Members’ Club has played in keeping her going and growing. The crisis of confidence and the mindset struggles she faced when she first started, being scared to approach galleries and charging too much for her art. The three essential aspects of her business and how she manages each one. The struggle she faced to continue working on her business after the loss of her father and how the support of other members from inside the Members’ Club helped her make it through. How she adapted the traditional business plan for her own needs and how she uses the Members’ Club monthly Goal Setting and Planning workshops to review and plan ahead. A recent business award she won, which has continued to increase her confidence and encourage her to grow the business further. Her exciting plans for the year ahead, including an inspirational trip to Kenya and being featured in galleries in major cities in the UK and US.  Louise’s top tips for success are:  No matter what you’re facing, remember the importance of working on your business “little and often” - accept that you can’t do everything today, but you can do SOMETHING today so just keep chipping away at your idea until you get there Once your business is up and running, make sure you’re reviewing your results from month to month. Identify the patterns in your own business and use them to make better decisions and create more success. When you’re just starting out, focus on one social media platform rather than trying to be on multiple platforms all at once. If you have an idea you love, the timing will never be right so you just have to take the plunge and give it a try now! Join a community that can give you the support you need now - you don’t have to wait until you’re on top, join when you really need the help!
