I was born to be self-employed. I have worked for other people and companies but it wasn’t for me. I craved the freedom, the control and the direction that can only come from self-employment. In 2017 I took the leap and became self employed. Since then I have been through it all, with highs just as big as lows at times. The self-employed way of life is not easy, and it’s not for everyone. But if you can approach it with the right understanding, mindset and tools, you can successfully carve out the way of life you are looking for!

The Self Employed Coach
Working Together
My goal in becoming a business coach was to support others with information and guidance I only wish I had been given access to. I can support you to ride out the lows, keep them to a minimum and make the highs really worth it.
My honest and relatable approach to business coaching keeps it simple for you. With so much noise and information at our fingertips, I will work with you to pause, focus, break down your objectives and tailor a process that will support you and your business.

FAQS
What are the benefits of working with a business coach?
A business coach is there to support and guide you through a moment in time where you are likely to be facing barriers and challenges. Working with a business coach can give you the tools and mindset to overcome such challenges and support your personal development in your business endeavours. The outputs of business coaching should be clarity, objectives, actions and confidence to secure strategic growth for your business and a successful self-employed way of working that gives you the success, income and lifestyle you desire.
Why do I need a business coach?
A business coach is there to provide advice and guidance to help you unlock the tools and ways of thinking that will help you grow your business. Having someone to talk to who has done what you are trying to do and understands the challenges can be hugely beneficial.
How does it work?
Before any commitments are made, a discovery call will take place – this allows us to understand what stage you are at with your business and journey into self employment and also to understand what you are looking to achieve. Then if you are confident that this is the right process for you, and that I am the right person to help you, we will confirm which package you want to go ahead with and get your calls booked in. The content of the calls will be tailored to your individual circumstances and needs, and a plan for the whole process will be confirmed during your first call.
What sort of things are covered in the coaching?
What we will cover is dependent on your objectives and where you are at in your self-employed journey. I can say that my coaching is based on a framework of topics that factor in practical business elements as well as the personal side of being self-employed. All of this will be shaped to your needs and I will bring my honest and uncomplicated guidance, making the most of my experience to support your business growth.
Why do you focus on self employed business owners?
Having been a self-employed business owner there is a wealth of information that I wish I had known when I was starting out. I also learnt so much during the course of setting up and growing my business and I want to use that knowledge and experience to help others, as I know just how rewarding it can be to be in control of your own business.
How much time do I need to commit?
The outline of packages show you the amount of call time that is involved. In addition to that you will need to set aside time to think through, reflect on and progress with the steps and actions that come out of our calls. You will get out of this process whatever you put into it, and regular check ins will also be scheduled in between calls to help make sure you remain focused and maximise the opportunity of this coaching.
I’m not sure if self-employment is for me – can you help?
Absolutely. My coaching is for everyone considering or currently operating as self-employed. As well as the practical side of running a business, I also delve into the personal qualities that it takes to be a business owner. So whether you are simply starting to consider it and need to talk through your business ideas and understand what it will take, or whether you are up and running but need some support to grow your business to the next level, this coaching is for you.
Is business coaching the same as life coaching?
Whilst being self-employed is often referred to as a lifestyle choice, business and life coaching are different. Life coaching often focus on lifestyle changes based around improvement in wellbeing and happiness. Business coaching centres around you as a business owner, providing strategic guidance on being self-employed, and supporting you to grow your business with defined goals and objectives.
Do you offer any guarantees?
I can guarantee to commit fully to you and your needs and provide you with relevant and practical guidance and tools to help you achieve success and growth. I am not able to guarantee any outcomes directly from your business…that part is down to you using what you have learnt and taking action.
