A year ago we were in a completely different position from where we are now.
We knew we had something great to offer the world, and we knew that we had designed a couple of fantastic products.
But we couldn't sell them.
Despite all the great feedback we'd been getting, we just couldn't seem to sell anything. Talk about despair! After a year of growing our community, learning how to market ourselves and utilising social media, we STILL couldn't make any money. What made it even worse was that we knew in our hearts we had a really fantastic product on our hands.
Would you like to know how we we successfully launched our Ebook, made sales, met new clients, gained an international cheerleading team AND grew in confidence in a massive way?
We hope so, because our decision in September last year to join two Natalies on the first ever WE Mastermind programme has been our best investment yet and we are dying to tell you about it!
We jumped on board because we wanted to take our business to the next level (code for, we really needed to start making some money!) and we are so glad we did.
8 months down the track we are loving our small business and are stoked with the progress we have made as a result of joining WE Mastermind,
Now it's your turn.

Its fair to assume that all women who kick off their entrepreneurial journey are aiming for business success. However many haven't taken the time to consider how this success will impact on their 'other life' and as a result, many are compromising far more than intended
Where is your business taking you?
I recently read a comment from a friend who owns an amazing business that appears to be rocketing forward… she has new shops popping up all over the place and is receiving rave reviews about her products.
But amid all this success, she voiced a concern: “i miss adventures. i pray everyday that being a business owner doesn't take away my ability to be where i feel the most alive…”
I could almost hear the feeling of being torn coming through her words… that tension between where the business is heading, and what that might mean for her personal life and her ability to have adventures outside of entrepreneurship…..
It is a huge challenge to maintain a sense of clarity, focus and energy when you are constantly pushed for time.
Time, or more accurately, lack of it, is a huge stressor for women entrepreneurs, and a 'fear of not having enough time' constantly comes up in the work we do with our clients.
So how can we gain the clarity we need to be more productive and focused in the limited amount of time that we do have? The answer may lie in the way we use (or don't use) our brains. If you are constantly asking yourself how you can 'save time' or 'get more done in the time you have available, then read on!
A month ago I was invited to speak on a panel for women business leaders at the University of Canterbury. I was excited to accept, even though I felt a good dose of imposter syndrome creeping in (watch for a future blog post on this topic!)
Janine and I have always wanted to combine our online work with face-to-face workshops and events, so this felt like a great opportunity to get out in front of some women in our sector and test out how effective public speaking might be as a tool for getting the word out about our work.
