My friend’s girlfriend woke up one morning and told him that she wants to have an accident on her way to work so she wouldn’t need to go to work.

My friend raised his eyebrows and said: Sounds like you just don’t want to go to work.

This story may sound over the top but I bet you’ve had these moments in your life too. Desiring that an external force would make a decision for you so you don’t have to make it yourself.

This person clearly didn’t want to get into an accident. But it felt like an easier way out than doing the hard work of re-evaluating her professional life.

How do I really feel?

Running a business is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I’m sure I’ve said it before.

I started a business in an industry that I had no expertise in.

I somehow ended up with business models (a marketplace and a community) that need to scale to become financially sustainable.

Like most solo business owners, I’ve had to put myself out there while feeling really uncomfortable about it.

I’ve set ambitious goals but not reached many of them (yet).

I regularly experience self doubt comparing myself to other business owners who look like they have it all figured out. And it is so so hard.

When I asked our Nudge Pods community when was the last time they thought that maybe they should quit their business and get a “real job”, they all laughed. Because we think about it all the time. Maybe it’s a female solopreneur thing?

Our community is designed to be a safe space to bring along real challenges to get the support that is most helpful. And yet it has been hard for me to completely open up myself to people who are essentially my customers. Would they want to be part of this community if they see my own struggles?

It’s not easy to be vulnerable with this sort of stuff. But once you are it’s liberating. What also happens is that others open up. And when they do, you suddenly gain a broader perspective.

To be completely honest, as an early stage business owner, I've never paid much attention to the financial aspects of my business. I've sort of pushed this topic to the far future to "when I start earning real money."

I struggle through the tax return time every year. Yes, I have an accountant but I don't really understand what she is doing. But I would like to know. And I'd like to be able to ask all these "stupid questions" that I have. (Yes, I know, no question is stupid.)

And financial goals? Where do I even start? 😳

🚀 Regardless where you're at with your own financial literacy and goals, Justine from will be able to bring more clarity into your business finances (even if they don't exist yet).

We're running a practical hands-on workshop this Tuesday for our Nudge Pods members. You’ll be leaving with one goal that is meaningful for your business and get practical advice from Justine how to make it happen.

👉 If you're not part of Nudge Pods, DM me for more info.

The most important ingredient for making any group support system work is its members. I'm continuously amazed by the genuine, authentic and smart women Nudge Pods is attracting.

I probably shouldn't be that surprised thought. One of our values is Authenticity - it would make sense to attract people with similar values.

✨ Thank you for the kind words!

How many times have you come across well-meaning advice that is completely irrelevant to your situation? Or suggestions of trying things in your business that you've already considered or actually doing?

I think we've all been there.

Coaching is based on the belief that there is a vast amount of wisdom and advice inside all of us. More than advice, we need people around us to reflect back what they see in us, validate what we're going through, help uncover our blindspots, and bring out that wisdom that we already embody.

And guess what? This approach also builds our confidence because it demonstrates to us how powerful we actually are.

This is what we're doing at Nudge Pods. We'll give you the tools to coach each other and yourself. Tools that encourage you to have authentic and meaningful conversations that lead to relevant support and advice.

✨ Think of it as having your own team of coaches - your Pod - to achieve clarity, focus, and accountability. Only without the expensive price tag!

We're opening Nudge Pods doors to new members!

We ran a successful Nudge Pods pilot at the end of last year, learnt a lot and made improvements. The biggest mistake that I made during the pilot was not participating myself in the pods (I "just" facilitated the sessions).

This service is something that I created because I NEED THIS FOR MYSELF. So moving forward, I'll make sure I'll be using it as a client too.

I am now obviously very very excited (and terrified! 😂) to announce that we'll be continuing to offer this service at a very accessible price point to women in business.

🚀 For a limited time, we invite you to become our founding member. The monthly membership price for founding members is 29 AUD/month - for as long as you are a member.

Please DM me for any questions!

Joining One Roof in December last year was one of the best decisions I made as a fresh business owner. The support that I’ve received from One Roof has exceeded my every expectation and sometimes supported me in ways that I didn’t even realise I needed.

Now, I’m excited to share that I’ll be having an IG live chat with the founder of One Roof, the amazing Sheree Rubinstein.

And we’ll be talking about the very same topic that One Roof is so good at - support. Please tune in tomorrow at 12pm AEDT.

At the core of our Pods are peer coaching skills that we teach to all our members.

We also partner with professional business coaches who step in for additional support.

Who do you look up to for support?

I’m exploring the types of support women find most impactful for their businesses (think anything from coaching to podcasts to courses etc.)

✨ I need your help with this! If you’re a female business owner, I’d appreciate your time to help me with a survey: https://www.nudgeme.online/survey
