Are you procrastinating? Or are you actually incubating? with special guest Bernadette Chapman
In this fast paced online business space it’s easy to feel that if we’re not ‘Go, Go, Go’ and always being productive that we’re procrastinating. And, sometimes, let’s face it, we are. But, sometimes, an idea needs incubation time before we take action on it. The trouble is, how can we tell the difference? I’m so delighted that creative business and mindset coach, Bernadette Chapman, from Bernadette Chapman Consulting, is joining me for today’s episode of Taking It Personally to discuss her personal experience and what she’s witnessed through working with creative entrepreneurs in her coaching and consulting practice. How do we know when we’re procrastinating or when we’re actually doing the work of incubating? Join us on the show and let’s talk about it!

What action are you taking in your business and is it worth it?
Feb 9 2023
What action are you taking in your business and is it worth it?
When it comes to taking action in your business, what best describes you at the moment? Are you feeling stuck because you’re unsure of the next action to take and you don’t want to waste your precious time or money by making the ‘wrong’ choice? or Are you taking action after action after action, with no time or headspace to evaluate what your action-taking is doing for your business? If either of these scenarios apply to you (or you have experience of going back and forth between both - I’ve definitely been there ) Then today’s episode of Taking It Personally is for you. Let’s talk about Action versus Quality Action, the action that you take in your business versus the action that you take for your business so that you can confidently take action to achieve your heart-led, impact driven goals.
