| Hello Reader, When it comes to growing your business, there's always a 'new' strategy that's trending. I've been working on my side business for almost a decade. I've seen many trends come and go. After a while, it feels like everything just comes in cycles. Isn't that the case for so many things? Fashion, music, financial markets, etc. Although trends come and go, one thing has remained the same in my business growing journey: To do work that makes a difference to women's lives, while making a difference to my own too. A common theme that's come up again and again for me this year: Making friends and building my community of like-minded women. Besides connecting with women on LinkedIn, I'll be launching a free course soon. It will cover my 6 secrets of growing a stress-free business and will be launched in phases. Each phase will come with improvement and additions over time. Version 1 will be launched in September. When you're a busy woman with a full plate, you can always choose to grow at a slower, more sustainable pace. This may mean you improve your products and services gradually over time, iterating as you evolve. There's nothing wrong about growing slower, and you most definitely don't have to feel ashamed or embarrassed about it. Launching and building this course will be my version of 'building in public'. If you haven't built something in public before, it might be something worth considering if you want to build your community. By turning the invisible, BTS, building phase into something people can see, you bring like-minded people together. It's a great way to hold yourself accountable and commit to something you're doing to grow you business too. Because you've already made the announcement publicly, you must now deliver on it! Plus, you also get to co-create something with the people who want what you're building. This makes your end product even better because you know it'll be something people actually want! I can't wait to share version 1 with you and I look forward to hearing your feedback when it launches. Look out for details about it over the coming weeks. What can you build in public? I'd love to hear about it! Have a great week ahead. Sharon |

Hi Reader, If you’ve ever thought about starting your own business or you’ve already begun, chances are you’ve met these fears head-on: Doubt: Will this even work?

Hello Reader, Six years ago, at my dad’s wake, I kept hearing his voice ask me a single, haunting question: 'What will your legacy be?' That question changed the trajectory of my life. Two weeks later, I incorporated my business - not because I had it all figured out, but because I didn’t want fear to dictate my future. Today I honor my dad's 6th death anniversary with this week’s podcast, From Grief to Growth: How My Dad’s Words Shape My Business and how he continues to guide me. I share:...
