What I need help with

My background as an entrepreneur

My current challenges

I got wiped out during the pandemic. I love my hands on work, but it is still a struggle bouncing back, and new priorities are income that is pandemic proof, age proof, location proof. I’m great at my long time work, but not at getting far past the word of mouth phase in marketing, redefining my biz model/niche/target audience/scale able services that fit with my skill set and integrity and current confidence level. I want to pump up my current practice and pívot to use all the skills I’ve developed in my work that do not depend and doing 1:1 in person work

Actions I’ve taken so far

Returned to work (with few clients) after being closed for pandemic. Adapted good covid protocols Adapted my website. Launched a dedicated Facebook page. Taken several courses in marketing and promotion (that seem to call for a different biz model and product). Restarted emails to clients. Thought a lot about what I do and could do

My future goals

Have a prosperous livelihood that is true to my values that is pandemic, age and location proof. Find it easy to bring in and retain new clients. Improve on my technical/marketing digital abilities or delegation, e.g. move to a com email client and run automated campaigns. Develop new business products and models allowing me to scale and find more freedom

My motivations to work with a mentor

I’ve been at this for decades. I’m very advanced at it and believe in it. I’m not good at creating a stable prosperous business. So, while I’ll need to be articulate to a mentor, to remain true to my business and personal values, I also need be realistic and humble and ask for help from someone who can support me through my many blind spots. My business is nearly failing. The emotional and physical cost to me is huge. Yet I believe so much in what I offer, that I think it would be a very sad loss for those I serve and could serve for my business to struggle or go down.
