Sometimes my clients have a clear idea of what they want from their career or business, it’s just getting it started.
Sarah had a young daughter and knew she wanted to make greeting cards.
Her friends kept on asking her how it was going and she got frustrated with herself that she had yet to start her business.
The major block turned out to be two things: having an inspiring desk where she could create the cards, and setting up a storage system for all the materials. When she felt ready to create, her working area was organised and uncluttered, which is important for her creativity to flow. I also shared useful resources to support her, including an introduction to another client at an early stage of her business, which provided them with mutual support.
Sarah secured a grant to fund production and created her first range of ‘sweet as cherry pie’ greeting cards. Her cards are stocked in national chains as well as being available for purchase on the Web.
“Rachel gave me consciousness of my capabilities within, and insight that I had the capability to do what I wanted to do. She worked her magic to unblock me and freed up the space in me to start my business.”
