The One Step Outside the 9 to 5 Business Incubator is for you if you’re feeling stuck in a corporate job, you know that you want to make a change but you’re just not sure exactly what you want or how to go about achieving it. It's also for you if you've already started to build an independent business or freelancing practice but you're not seeing the results that you want and need for it to be a workable solution for you. You want to create more freedom, flexibility and fulfilment – and you recognise that having your own business could be an amazing way to achieve this. You may have some idea of what you want to do or you may have no idea at all, and I will help you get that clarity, build your confidence and take you step by step towards creating a viable alternative to that 9 to 5 that will give you what you want from your work and your life.

The programme will take you through tried-and-tested steps, tools, exercises and techniques that really work. This is for you whether you’re right at the start of the journey and you have no idea what you want to do, or you’re already mid-way through the transition but you’re not yet earning the income that you want and need to make this sustainable for you. You’ll move through the materials at your own pace, and since you have access to the full content from the start you can choose where you want to focus your time and energy, based on where you are in the process.

There is no magic formula, no “6 steps to 6 figures” that I can hand you in a pdf and, tada, you’ll be living your dream life. I can’t guarantee exactly what will happen, and everyone is different. The key here is for you to take ownership of your life, to put in the effort and do the work – and I promise that the results will follow. And, if you're unsure if this is right for you then get in touch and we can jump on a call to find out!

This is a significant investment of money but more than that it’s an investment of your time and energy. You need to be sure that you are committed, right now, to do what it takes. So have a think about how your life will change if you achieve your goals. Why is this important to you? What will be different? How will you feel? What will be possible? And what’s that outcome worth to you?

If you are not 100% satisfied with the programme, even though you’re working through all the materials on the membership site and attending the live calls, then let me know right away. We’ll get together to design a plan for how you can get the value that you’ve paid for – and take that One Step Outside the 9 to 5.

No problem! That’s what we’re here to find out. Figuring out what you actually want is the hardest part – but it’s also the most important, and once you have that clarity, the ‘how’ part of getting there will fall into place. With that in mind, this is a central part of the programme, and it’s really where we’ll start. I’ll make sure that you have a whole range of different tools, exercises and thought starters to help you figure out what it is that you want.

If not now, when? The truth is that we often make these excuses, saying that now isn’t the right time, that we need to save money, get that promotion, or wait for whatever thing to happen before we can make a change. Most often, “not now” is going to mean “never”. So why are you putting this off? In fact, the programme will help you figure out all those question marks – I’ll help you get clear on what you really want, work out how much money you need to save, design a plan for making it happen. Don’t let another year go by without taking action! I know this is important to you, and I’m here to help you do it, once and for all.

If you already have a well-established brand, a sizeable audience and a full roster of clients then, yes, this programme is too basic for you! However, if you're still in the early stages of your business and you haven't yet replaced your income then this programme will take you back to the fundamentals needed to establish a strong brand as well as giving you the more advanced strategies to take your business to the next level.

This is a programme that gives you access to a membership site with a library of actionable and easy-to-follow content (video, audio and worksheets) that you can work through at your own pace. Although the programme is designed to take you through the process in a logical sequence that will set you up for long-term success, you'll have access to the full membership site from the start so that you can choose where to focus your time and energy depending on your specific situation and needs. You will also be invited to live coaching calls, which will take place once a month, and if you can’t make these then you’ll have access to the recordings. And you have a series of individual calls that you can schedule as and wen you need them. When you decide to invest in this programme and make the payment here on the site, you’ll right away get a welcome email with all the information you’ll need.

First of all, you will learn a whole lot about yourself, about your skills and strengths as well as your fears and blocks. You will learn how you can manage your mindset and set yourself up for success. You will also learn concrete steps to take to put together your business proposition and strategy. If you find that there’s something missing during the programme, then I will be creating additional materials in response to the questions I am getting from you!

What the programme will not teach you is the tactical and executional stuff like how to create a Facebook ad or code your website – but I will absolutely always answer your questions and refer you to another resource or expert if needed.

Specifically, we'll be working through my framework of The 5 Pillars of a Sustainable Business.

This is a programme that combines the benefits of group and individual coaching, giving you access to a whole host of materials and resources in the membership site, taking you step by step through the process to help you get unstuck and taking your one step outside the 9 to 5. You also get access to the live group coaching calls as well as a number of individual calls to use as and when needed. The group programme requires a lower investment than individual coaching with me, so it’s really a great way to get access to this level of support. You always have the option to upgrade to additional 1:1 support if you feel you need it, however.

If you do find that you need more support than the trainings and resources in the membership site, then I’d really recommend that you join the live coaching calls. If you don’t feel comfortable sharing your particular situation with the group or if you really feel that you want more tailored, one-on-one support through the programme, you can upgrade to add further individual coaching calls. If you get to the end of the  programme and you need more time, then you can of course extend your participation – to the group and/or the individual coaching – for continued support with creating and executing your plan, until you get where you want to be. Most people at the end of the Business Incubator will be ready to move onto the Business Accelerator, which provides ongoing support to help you replace your full-time income and grow your business.
