The power of persistence in business

Have you ever felt like quitting your business because it wasn’t growing fast enough? Maybe you’ve been showing up consistently, putting in the effort, and still wondering – is this ever going to work?

I get it. I’ve been there.

When I started my coaching business in April 2020, I was still working part time at my local hospital, raising two little ones and navigating the fear of putting myself out there. I knew I wanted more, but I was also terrified.

I had all the doubts
💭 What if no one listens?
💭 Who am I to do this?
💭 How do I show up online when I barely have the confidence to call myself a coach?

On top of that, while my husband was always supportive, he didn’t fully get it.

“You’re investing in coaching and programs … but where’s the return?”
“How do you know this will even work?”

At times, I even asked myself the same questions. Was I crazy for believing in this dream?

But here’s the truth I’ve learned – The difference between those who succeed and those who don’t is persistence.

The hardest moments in business

Every entrepreneur has moments where they feel like giving up. I had plenty.

🚧 Posting content that got crickets
🚧 Launching offers that no one bought
🚧 Investing before I was making ‘real’ money
🚧 Feeling like I was putting in SO much effort, but the results weren’t matching up

And in those moments, I had a choice …
👉🏻 Give up and go back to playing it safe
👉🏻 OR keep going, even when I couldn’t see the finish line

I chose to keep going.

Fast forward to today

Today, my business is my full time income. My kids are in school and I get to live life on my terms.

And just recently, I had one of those pinch me moments that made me realise just how far I’ve come.

It was during the school holidays. I had intentionally taken six weeks off to enjoy time with my kids. We were at the beach, completely present, making memories, when suddenly …

📲 Ding. A notification popped up on my phone.

A client had just signed on.

At that moment, I felt so proud. Because this was the life I had worked so hard to create. The business I had built – the one I almost gave up on, was now giving me the flexibility + freedom I had once only dreamed of.

And the truth is … this can be your reality too.
