For the Love of Small Business with Helen Harding
Description:
In this week’s episode, I'm super excited to welcome my lovely friend and client Helen Harding to have a conversation about the rollercoaster ride that is running a small business.
Helen is a chartered marketer, author, speaker and content creator, supporting and teaching therapists, coaches and healers to find clients and succeed - on their terms. And after having spent 14 years working full-time as a practitioner in health and well-being, she knows what it takes to be successful.
We chat about:
ethical marketing, what it means and how it comes down to you and your values.
learning how to listen to and trust your gut feeling
give yourself permission to show up as yourself and be imperfectly perfect.
how growing a business is a long game and there’s no overnight magic success pill.
knowing why you do what you do can help you to attract more of the right people
And the importance of surrounding yourself with the right kind of people.
