How I Transformed my Business From Non-Existent to THRIVING!

8 months ago I was at a total loss in my business. Saying that, I didn’t even feel like I had one. I was fiddling around on canva and posting some stuff when I was feeling extra brave but it didn’t flow. I certainly didn't feel like a leader in my business and I was constantly looking for ways to hide from the scary tasks that I didn’t feel confident enough to do.

The mindset blocks that were ruling my head and actions:

“I’m not good enough to pull this off.”
“There are way more experienced coaches out there – who’s going to choose me?”
I HATED the idea of people I know seeing what I’m doing online - honestly kill me.
“What happens if I can't burst this bubble of inaction? What if I simply keep... not doing anything!? I’ve told everyone how bloody successful this is going to be and here I am doing F’all to make it happen." Cue humiliation.

What was my catalyst to blasting my business into the real world?

I did a quantum leap month. What that actually means in practice is that I dedicated a whole month to intensive, fully committed, fully embraced, mindset work using techniques and tools that I’ve picked up over the years. I put them together and committed to doing them every day for a month to see what happened.

No more dabbling. No more fannying about - fully embraced, whatever got thrown my way!

I used everything I’d picked up from years of interest in personal development, quantum physics & universal laws — visualisation, tapping, identity work, journalling — and created a daily mindset practice I actually stuck to. A beautiful blend of science, spirituality, and basic habit building.

I set a silly financial goal that I couldn’t believe would happen, decided who I wanted to be in my business and life, and I worked my arse off every day to make sure at the very least, I did that mindset work.

I'm not kidding when I tell you that by the end of that month I hit my financial goal - that was totally insane to me and still is!

Despite it being a total chaos month (kids sick, me sick, low-energy days galore), I still showed up for myself every day.

By the end of that month, I had:

Hit a financial goal I didn’t think was possible
Launched my coaching business (without even realising I was doing it)
Built total belief in myself and my offer
Raised my prices to reflect the real value I bring
Started selling with TOTAL confidence
Felt like a badass CEO instead of an imposter

And that was just the start.

I continued to progress (that’s an understatement actually, I continued to fly!) and make sales afterwards.

Why Mindset Is Everything When You’re Starting a Coaching Business

I realised that my identity as a woman in business was completely off before. I was waiting for external proof before I let myself believe.

I didn’t trust myself. Sure, I knew deep down that I’m good and have a hell of a lot to offer, but connecting that to being the face of a business is a whole other kettle of fish.

Now? I operate from belief first — and that changes everything.

My content became stronger.
My message clearer.
My confidence real.
I attract ideal clients without trying so hard.
And I grow my business in a way that fits my real life (not someone else’s hustle-playbook).

Stepping into that version of myself was like a domino effect and things have continued to snowball ever since.

What I’m trying to tell you is that I get it. I’ve been there and I also know that it’s scary to invest in yourself.

This Is Exactly Why I Created My Quantum Leap Month Programme

If you’re a new coach, mentor, or service-based business owner and you’re feeling stuck AF...If you’ve got a qualification but no idea how to turn it into income...If your confidence is low and visibility feels terrifying...This is for you.

Here’s what you get in your own Quantum Leap Month:

Initial 121 coaching session to identity your specific shift, from here we will build your personalised mindset rituals for the month.
Bespoke Daily mindset practices to shift your identity as a business owner
High-touch support + accountability (I’m in your back pocket for the whole month, EVERY DAY). The whole point of this is that you show up everyday. So I am there to help you, support on the wobble days and celebrate the wins!
A 121 strategy session at the end to map out the next 3 months of growth in business with your new energy!! THIS WILL BE HUGE.

This is about building belief, showing up with conviction, and finally stepping into the version of you who knows she’s got this.

What Happens After a Month Like This?

You start doing the stuff you’ve been avoiding for MONTHS. And you'll feel desperate to just get on with it. (seriously)
