Why did you start the biz and when did your business open? I started this business in July 2008 after recovering from burnout. It seemed like a good idea to start a business in an area that I have natural skill and ability in. (I spent over 10 years working closely with retailers and coaching them to achieve increased profits and I have always helped friends with their businesses!)
How many people in your company? Just me and a few outsourced suppliers at the moment... I've got plans for more though!
What's your office location like? I have a home office - it's a small room but very comfortably furnished. It looks out on a beautiful garden full of bamboo and tropical plants. Sometimes I work on the terrace as it is very peaceful there too. I often see my clients on the terrace - it is calming for them.
What's the toughest part of running your biz? Growing pains - the constant balance between being able to afford the support I require and being out of control busy.
What's the most fun part? Two things - my amazing clients - I love love love working with people who want their business to be the most amazing business possible! And learning new things - I get to explore amazing solutions from the holistic perspective - helping people create change with ease is very joyful for me.
Anything you would have done differently? Got a business coach for myself sooner - it took me a year to find one that felt right - I would have generated results much faster if I'd found this person sooner.
Explain what's next on the horizon for you and your business? I'm building the Revive Coaching Empire... I'm developing materials to teach other coaches how to work with clients holistically so that they can create joy and ease in all aspects of their life and business.
What advice do you have for others? Be willing to see the amazingness of you! So many of us sell ourselves short... And be willing to recognize that the things we are good at and find easy are often the things that others find difficult and need help with... Charge what you are worth!
How do you use OnlineBizU.com to help with your biz or sanity? Great for resources and knowing what's new in the online world - helps me keep current in this area in a short amount of time.
Personal Info:
School: MBA from QUT in Brisbane, Australia
Prior jobs or business? Lots!!! Very diverse experience which all feeds into where I am now. Last job was managing a research institute.
Favorite food? At this moment it's a fresh tomato, basil and baby bocconcini salad, but that could change in a moment. Chocolate is always good!
What are your pets' names? Coco - she's a cocker spaniel
Do any of these pets help with your biz? Yes - gives all my clients lots of unconditional love...
What person or event in your life led you to go into business for yourself? I've always known that I would do this, but the combination of burnout and feeling that I really wanted to be my own boss now got me started.
