And that's exactly when my mindset changed during one of your sessions at the retreat.

Always keep in mind WHY DID I LEAVE MY JOB AND START MY OWN BUSINESS?

Of course, not to have the same effect as hours and hours of work, but to fulfil my dream of having time to travel and of course to work from time to time, but with things I can do because I love it.

So, of course, there is more to do and a lot of work at the beginning, but I keep in mind exactly those questions you mentioned:

What can I offer that companies would like to have that I can duplicate. Work on it once, then offer it several times?

- A typical workshop to solve a typical problem

- Turn this workshop into an asynchronous workshop, to reduce the time I spend with the teams but permit them to work with methods on their own( ExampleI created a MIRO Board for a group including several companies and offer the workshop with a fix price to each company of the group)

- Create a facilitation training in my country using what I have learned

- Reach out to the expert with a marketing channel, which does not cost me too much energy to be also seen as an expert or as the one who knows specific experts (podcast)

- Choose companies that I can work with long term on different topics

- Try things out to find out what costs me energy or not

- Set my prices so I can have a few contracts that pay for my lifestyle without too many hours of work.

- And charge for everything, including preparation time

Be there for my clients but do fall in the "people pleaser syndrome" and learning also to say no.

Totally agree. I see two factors that help me build my business: 1. positive feedback about my products, 2. money people pay me.

Positive feedback gives energy for my soul, money lets me buy food that gives me energy for my body to build and sell even more 😊
