You are not here to stay the same as your business

You are not here to stay the same as your business grows. You are not here to be the same type of provider you were when you started. You will develop, adapt, learn and change. And your business will change with you too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For me, over the last 6 years, I've:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Coached in a local health centre hiring a room by the hour.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Moved to running most of my business online reaching international clients and no travel for appointments (even before Covid).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Started an online membership community.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Closed it despite being profitable.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Worked with 121 clients on hourly rates.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Moved to 121 clients on packages.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Flyered my local coffee shops with my services
Moved to launching regular online group programmes using multiple launch techniques and channels.
Moved to strip online and social presence back significantly whilst still launching successfully.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Officially changed niche 3 times and numerous smaller messaging changes within those.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Worked with corporates - profit, not for profit and public sector - contracts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Moved to working with individual business owners, direct to consumer.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Run in person workshops with success.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not always enjoyed them (I prefer attending them) and thrive with online workshops and events instead.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Worked for free, volunteering my services.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Moved to charging what would be classed as high ticket prices⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Worked in partnerships and collaborations that I've often loved.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes stayed and other times moved to working on my own.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
None of the earlier attempts were wrong. They were all right for me at the time and I wanted to do each so I experienced that part of my business. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
See this as YOUR invitation to think the same. You do not have to stay the same. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's safe for you to change the way you run YOUR business too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Save this message if it resonates with you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I can’t express enough how happy this scene make

I can’t express enough how happy this scene makes me. For so many reasons, including the wet dog, my grey-ish hair and sandy paths that get in your shoes. Oh and old glasses I dug up when we got home that I’ve fallen for again. One happy Friday it is 🌿🌿🌿

I couldn’t be more happy to share that Hope Evel

I couldn’t be more happy to share that Hope Evelyn Hodge joined us safely on Saturday 11th July born in London (Ontario😆) no less.

We’re all doing well, our amazing surrogate included. I know so many of you know this journey and have been rooting for us from the outset and I’m so grateful. It’s pretty unbelievable - that it’s real and Hope is with us 🥰

Just popping off to have a baby. Sometime in the n

FROM NEXT WEEK⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm running an experiment about where I go online. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I LOVE IG, meet a lot of my clients on here and enjoy stories. But for a while I've been interested in using Linkedin better and differently and I know I can’t divide quality time between both. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So to truly understand whether it's a useful place for me to spend valuable time, I'm going to spend a month over there on LinkedIn. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'll test how comfortable it feels to say and show up (shock horror!) the same way on LI as on IG, and I'll test engagement and leads.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm going to mix the content up with posts and videos and share a lot more of my podcast too. If LI stories come in I'll try them out too but I doubt they will yet.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm going to show up on IG stories for the month (of June) and probably chat reflections, but I won't be posting on my feed.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm telling you this because it's cool to test things out that we instinctively feel might be interesting, and it's cool to share what I think might happen and then report back on what happened too. And I'm telling you because it may give you permission to test what you’ve been wanting to recently too - whether it's using a new platform, adjusting who you talk to, closing down a service you don't like anymore or more.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What I think might happen is:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌿 I feel icky about posting some things on LI over IG but I'll get over this AND it may be liberating to bring the IG vibe over to there (to be confirmed)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌿I will increase my LI engagement (as long as I'm posting useful, audience-needs-led content and human stories)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌿 I will connect with some of my existing audience over there⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌿 I will connect with a new audience and type of person too⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let's see shall we? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

*WHAT YOUR INFLUENCERS AND YOU WANT MIGHT CHANGE*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been in this business long enough to know there's a pattern that emerges - for myself, and in others. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We find someone, a few people, that we really like and resonate with and we're slightly obsessed with - can't stop reading their posts, following their stuff, signing up to their things, maybe even working with them or almost working with them. But there's a point, for some of these people that we once loved, that we just get tired of them. Their message, their stuff, their thing, and maybe even working with them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm here to tell you this is REALLY normal. You're not strange for suddenly being really turned off by that person you were a true fan of not that long ago.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There's a few things happening here:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. the natural life and business cycle - we just resonate with people and then we don't. period.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. THEY changed - maybe their message, the way they communicated, the things they talk about, the way they show up, what they sell (if it's a business) changed. And maybe they told us it would, or maybe they didn't. Maybe they didn't know it would, or maybe they did. Whatever it is, it is OK if we no longer resonate with someone's new message. Wish them well, set them free from your expectations and move onwards.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. YOU changed. Perhaps you realised that suddenly this person, or people, aren't where you're at any more. You've moved on in some way and you need to hear other messages, other people. Maybe people who are really similar to where you're at right now and going, or maybe people wildly different. Who knows, that's the fun. But you know you need a different set of markers to read and watch and consume. And that's amazing. Set yourself and them free from your expectations and move onwards.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. You realised you no longer need an influencer, leader, spokesperson. You're ready to speak, lead and do it all yourself.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
