During the early days of running my first business, I was struggling.  I was newly divorced, two young children and not a penny in divorce settlement or child maintenance.  I had a bucket of water instead of a fridge and an old microwave a friend had given me to cook with. My kids were sleeping on blow up beds.  It was hard to get clients and make enough money to cover my rent and bills, let alone all the things the kids needed.  I was desperate and alone. 

I loved working in my business but I was using "sit,wait and hope" method of marketing, I sat around, waiting and hoping that I would make a sale. Not surprisingly hoping was not a good business decision.  I had no idea what I should be doing until finally I sought advice from coaches to help and guide me.

Needing to make money, I focused on my own health and wellbeing as I knew it would make running my own business easier.  I had the greatest motivator, two children who needed me to pay the bills and keep a roof over their heads.  I worked on my mindset and self belief getting stronger in my self worth every day.  I did, courses, employed mentors and learnt marketing methods that got me results.   The icing on the cake was learning to be effective in my actions.  No more being busy being busy.  Instead I learnt how to do more in less time.  

I worked my way up from rock bottom.  I  learnt how to commit to achieve anything I wanted.  I focused on the key principles that made me feel good, helped me do more and essentially gave me a happy life and thriving business. 

If I can do it so can you. Anything is possible if you want it enough and you are prepared to take the effective action needed.  

I hope you decide to the join the HBClub, I really have been there, done that and got the T-shirt. Hell, I am still wearing the business owner T-shirt.  My expertise come from real life building of multiple businesses.  I am a business owner and I LOVE helping people like you build their dreams into reality.  

Add to all of that a fight with Stage 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer in 2021 and I think I can safely call myself a "Business Badass"
