Let’s talk about quiet months… you know the ones. We’ve all had them. On a factual level they may look like this: Firstly money Most months making money and making sales is pretty predictable. You put your physical or digital ‘Come on in, We’re open’ sign out and passers by / adoring(?) and usually engaged audience popped on over and start asking how they can pay you. However this month, your customers have either gone on holiday or are taking a holiday from buying. This slowly starts to become increasingly disturbing as the days go by…16th,17th,18th,19th…you know you have some whopping bills at the end of the month. You start to question how you will pay them. When is the point you need to worry? How old is too old to ask your family to lend you some money? Why can’t you get the documentary ‘Pole dancing and me’ out of your head? When is the point where things gets so uncomfortable that you can start to tweak your values? To visit the show notes: https://www.nickyraby.com/coachingblog/miniepisodeone-feelings

 I know feeling stuck in your business can be tricky. The to do list get longer and your sense of overwhelm can strike and undo all that great work. When I work with my clients, I always want to work practically. But I never offer a one size fits all method. It is so important to look holistically at life and business. To visit the show notes: https://www.nickyraby.com/coachingblog/miniepisodeone-feelingstuck-nickyrabypodcastChoose your free gifts: nickyraby.comBook a free session with me: nickyraby.com/freesessionReady to create and elevate your personal brand: https://www.nickyraby.com/yourpersonalbrandplanDo want to start a podcast?

In today's episode I speak to Natalie Lee, founder of Style Me Sunday.  'I started my ‘Style Me Sunday’ blog in July 2012, after I fell pregnant with my second girl. I wanted a creative outlet to talk about the things I love most and something that would work around my little ratbags. It soon became apparent that, for me, just talking about fashion was a little boring and unfulfilling and whilst I still LOVED fashion, I wanted to talk about more than just what this season's must-have colour was… Fashion with Feeling was born. The aim of this blog is to inspire mums to celebrate their uniqueness, share their struggles and experiences, and to show that there’s no such thing as perfect and anyway perfect is boring. We love curves, wrinkles, realness, anything that doesn’t pretend to fit into a cookie cutter mould. You’ll never see any photoshopping here. WebsiteFacebookInstagram
