‘Doing Business’…
Categories: BusinessContinue Reading: ‘Doing Business’…I had an ‘Ah Ha’ moment yesterday… I realised I don’t want to ‘do business’. I don’t want to grow to a ‘6 figure income’ or whatever the ‘experts’ say we should strive for. I don’t want to post on social media every day or ‘charge what I’m worth’. I don’t want to niche or…

Inclusivity at business events
Categories: BusinessContinue Reading: Inclusivity at business eventsThis morning, I was reminded of a post I made in a Facebook group in March of 2021. I wrote: I have a chronic illness, and I’m starting a business. This weekend, I went to a business bootcamp and it was fantastic, however I made the mistake on day 1 of being like everyone else…

Business Plans & Pattern Recognition
Categories: BusinessContinue Reading: Business Plans & Pattern RecognitionI had a realisation over the last 24 hours why so many things like business planning, and even goal setting, don’t work for me. It comes down to pattern recognition… This all started yesterday when I met someone who is doing something similar to what I want to do… only with crafts instead of creative…

Vision boards don’t work for me…
Categories: BusinessContinue Reading: Vision boards don’t work for me…Almost every business coach or coaching program I’ve seen encourages participants to create vision boards. If you haven’t heard of them, they’re a visual representation of where you see yourself in 5 years or whatever timeframe they set. When I was growing up, these would be created by cutting pictures out of magazines and greeting…

Networking tips for event organisers
Categories: BusinessContinue Reading: Networking tips for event organisersOn Friday night, I attended the first business networking event I had attended in quite some time, probably since I closed my business back in 2011. It’s certainly the first I attended since I was diagnosed autistic and ADHD. When I arrived, I stood at the door for around 15 minutes. No one came up…

NICE Goals
Categories: BusinessContinue Reading: NICE GoalsI have always struggled with goal setting. Anything I’ve done that encourages me to set goals make them feel like they are either way too big an unobtainable, or something that is unrealistic. I struggle with things like SMART goals due to time blindness, but also because so much to do with them, and any…

Business reflections…
Categories: BusinessContinue Reading: Business reflections…Every now and then, I look back on my life and wonder how it took so long to realise I’m AuDHD… Back in 2002, I started a business. It was the first mums in business network in Australia. I started it because I couldn’t find support to start a business so I could be home…

Charging, and needing to recharge
Continue Reading: Charging, and needing to rechargeMy phone is getting old. It doesn’t hold the charge as long as it did when I first got the phone. Most days, I have to plug it in around lunchtime to charge, even if I haven’t used it very often. I have taken to carrying a charger with me if I’m going to be…

Being told I’m wrong…
Continue Reading: Being told I’m wrong…One thing I’m getting a bit tired of is constantly being told I’m wrong. That I’m doing things the ‘wrong way’. I’ve had this most of my life, and most recently as today. I was reaching out, yet again, for some support with business, looking for someone who could help me do things to suit…

Nothing wrong with my mindset
Categories: BusinessContinue Reading: Nothing wrong with my mindsetOne thing I see popping up a lot, especially in business circles, is talk about mindset. I used to believe all the stuff about changing my mindset to be towards success or money or whatever it was. I would work really hard, following all the steps, and then feeling like there was something wrong with…
