oday is a follow on from the Unexpected Blessings episode (37) and the learnings I had about keeping away from the doom and gloom merchants. Now let’s crank up your money mindset protection with some really persuasive arguments. Not to change the doomers minds’ …but to keep yourself in a No BS mode! You know how valuable it is to stay as positive and open to possibilities as you can. I give you a great diplomatic speech you can say to the mood hoovers to create strong boundaries.

The business parable 'Go For No' by Richard Fenton & Andrea Waltz has at its heart a counterintuitve idea that seems like you are inviting failure into your life.  Learn what this is, and see what happened when I applied this concept this week.

…in which I explain how I turned things around for myself and my business during this pandemic, and discovered a way of working that was not only more cost effective for my clients, but more enjoyable for me. I talk about: How a throwaway comment I heard on a seminar sperked an idea that has changed my business in a good way and helped me pivot How I used other entrepreneurs as both positive AND negative role models The importance of revering what you have to offer

Unexpected money mindset blessings of this pandemic. What!? I hear you cry in protest. In this episode, I describe the shifts I have experienced during lockdown around my money mindset, and how liberating it has been. More to come in the following days, so watch this space.

Find out what the emotional money pit is, and the one thing you need to do to get out of it. The rope ladder is being lowered for you right now into your own EMP...the question is: are you going to grab it?

I talk about why I say YES to this question. I am not a financial advisor, just an ordinary woman who has made some massive mistakes with her pension but is now set on course to sort out her retirement. Whereas an IFA would run round screaming “AAAAAAAAARGH!” at the idea that the title above expresses, I am here to say: Why not?

This weekend I googled ‘pensions for the terrified’ and was pleasantly surprised to find – among all the expected doom and gloom merchants – a beacon of hope. In this episode I talk about what happened next. I talk about moving forward in spite of my dread and shame about this subject.

Today I give you a sales update and talk about the first mental obstacle I have hit. I talk about: *Dealing with the flat feeling after the excitement of launching *The post creative abyss – what is it? *One example of how I have improved the product using roadtesters *The importance of standing up to your nature and what feels intuitive *What we can learn about this from Madonna’s conical bra!

…in which I talk about my experiences tracking my latest product launch. I have previously played far too small in this area, and have always made the lion’s share of my income from one-to-one coaching. Today I talk about the job that I – and I think many people- have used product sales to do. This is serious entrepreneurial self-sabotage, but show me one product creator who has NOT fallen prey to this error!

...in which I talk about - guess what?!? - how well I stuck to my spending limits in June. A pretty granular episode, with not much in the way of inspiration, although I do bring a toddler to the party...well, metaphorically speaking anyway!
