The real reason I was able to grow my coaching biz to 6 figures in a year...

It's true I grew my coaching business to 6 figures in a year (actually 13 months but who's counting!).

Talking about my money isn't my favourite thing, I'm all about creating businesses you love, that love you back, which I call feeling #litupandliberated.

But these things do go hand in hand and I know you LOVE learning the exact decisions I made that had the biggest impact.

Now I've shared lists like this before, but this one is different. Because I want to tell you the reasons behind the reasons, I was able to grow my coaching business this fast.

The return (to digital marketing)

In 2007, I approached my CEO with a question.

Could I possibly relinquish my role as head of client relationships (for the Sydney) agency & move across to the open role of head of digital?

His head nearly spun off! I was literally requesting to reduce my power base. Moving from running a team of 50 or so -> to a team of 6.

Two years ago, I could never have guessed, I would be sitting here writing a blog piece in support of Network Marketing. My personal opinion was steer clear of it, it’s a pyramid scheme. Of course I knew very little about the field. Although I did try and fly a non existent plane once. Boy that was an expensive night!

The path to 'lit up & liberated'

The path to 'lit up & liberated'

As I sit here typing, it’s December the 29th 2018. Which makes it about 9 days since I walked out of my Corporate MD (of an advertising agency) role into the great unknown. Actually, that’s a stretch, I do know where I’m headed to, even if the directions are a little less clear!

The destination, isn’t actually a place, instead it’s a feeling. More specifically, it’s the way that I want to feel on a day to day basis. It’s both ambitious and yet, it’s achievable. If not all day every day, then at least a whole lot more than we’re led to believe.

This quest of mine, began a little over eight years ago. A cancer diagnosis is terrifying, gut wrenching and debilitating. I went through every bit of ugly and I can promise you, it’s best avoided. It left me with one positive thing though. A realisation that I wanted more from my life. Not more money or things, but more meaning and more joy. To be able to look back whenever my time comes, with a sense of accomplishment and pride.
