Let me guess - you started your business because you wanted more flexibility and freedom. You started it because you wanted to spend your days doing something you truly love. You started it because you wanted to take that spark of passion, that glimmer of joy, and turn it into something that pays the bills.
And you’ve done it. You’ve done the work, you’ve built the business. But perhaps now you feel a little bit lost. You have big ambitions, for both your business and your life, but you’re not quite sure where to start with making them a reality. There’s plenty of advice out there, but you’re struggling to find the advice that’s right for you.
It’s overwhelming. I know, because I’ve been there. I’ve been the business owner, looking around on Instagram and worrying that there are already too many people doing the same thing as me. I’ve been the business owner, determined not to sacrifice my values for sales, but wondering if there’s another way. I’ve felt lost in all of the noise of income bragging and marketing strategies and endless hustle. I’ve felt overwhelmed by self-doubt.
I know that when you’re in that place, you need a safe harbour to land. A place where you can learn in a way that feels gentle and sustainable, a place where your values and priorities will be respected. A place where you can grow with a small group of other business owners, and feel supported and held. A place where you can grow your business in a way that feels joyful, purposeful and sustainable to you. A place where that desire for freedom and flexibility and passion that kickstarted this whole thing is honoured.
I wanted to create that space. Enter: Grow With Joy.
You’ve got the industry expertise (or are working on getting it), but you feel like you need more support with the business side of things.
You’re ready to give your business the focus it needs to grow and sustain your dreams and aspirations.
You want to build your business in a way that feels like it honours your integrity and values.
You’re craving a community of like-minded and purpose-driven business owners who you can share ideas with, feel supported by and learn from.
You’ve got limited time and want to ensure you’re using it in the most effective way.
You would benefit from some gentle accountability and tailored support.
You want to learn from someone who’s been there and understands the journey.
A get rich quick scheme - because spoiler alert, those things don’t work. Grow With Joy is all about building your business in a way that feels sustainable to you.
A prescriptive plan - I’m a big believer that your business should be built in a way that best supports your own goals and ambitions, so I’ll ask the right questions to help you figure out what that looks like, instead of telling you what to do.
A joyful opening circle
We’ll start our time together in April, coming together for a joyful opening circle on Thursday 18th April. This session will last for 2 hours, the purpose being to connect as a group, find our focus and set intentions for our time together.
6 x monthly workshops
Starting in May, we will have a monthly workshop every month for 6 months.
These sessions will be developed by Sophie with the purpose of teaching you something that will support you on your business journey.
They will last for 60-90 minutes, and will be delivered via Zoom.
The topic of our monthly workshop will be voted on by the group, but will cover themes such as: finessing your foundations, selling yourself authentically, creating your joyful marketing strategy, mastering your mindset, productivity and planning your way, and more.
6 x monthly group coaching sessions
In addition to our monthly workshops, we will also have a 90 minute group coaching session each month.
The purpose of these sessions is to support you in your individual journeys. You can ask questions, share learnings, and receive a hybrid of mentorship and coaching from both me and the other coaches in the group.
Bonus sessions
We will also organise some bonus sessions to suit the needs of the group. These will cover things that go beyond my expertise, such as accounting, PR, etc.
A private Whatsapp group to connect and share ideas, learnings and struggles
For those moments when you need a pep talk or are dying to share a win! Think of this as a group of business besties you can tap into whenever you need it.
Extra goodies
There will also be plenty of extra goodies along the way - a welcome gift to get you started, journaling prompts to help you reflect, personalised book recommendations, pep talks from me and so much more!
Put simply, I’ve been where you are. And I’ve supported many clients on the same journey! In the 5 years since I started my business I’ve…
Racked up over 600 hours of 1:1 coaching and worked with hundreds of clients throughout my group programmes and monthly membership.
Published my first book and a card deck.
Been featured as an expert coach in The Independent, You Magazine, Stylist, Happiful, HuffPost, Breathe, i News and Metro.
Delivered workshops for Freddie’s Flowers, Wild, Tony’s Chocolonely, Method, Adidas and many more.
But most importantly, I’ve done all of this in a way that works for me - working part time, balancing my coaching business with all of the other things that I care about, and always working in a way that feels aligned with my values and purpose.
I want to help you build your version of success in a way that feels joyful, purposeful and sustainable to you. There’s no competition or expectations here - just a supportive and human space designed to help you grow a business that feels great to you.
