You. Hi, everyone. Hi. Welcome. I just thought I would make a quick video introduction to your self seeded business, which is my first ever group program. I'm so, so excited to teach all of my different methods and strategies for giving your business time to flourish and grow. I'm just so delighted to be taking up space in this container with you all. So the idea is that it's a four month container, so we've got time.

And it also takes into account that kind of icky Christmas holiday period where we're not sure whether we should be doing things, showing up, not showing up. We've got more time away from work in the typical sense, but online is busy, so we're going to navigate all of that together. So we start in November, and we're going to wrap up towards the end of February. And I just thought I would just give you a little bit of context as to why I wanted to teach this program, why I wanted to hold space in this way. I've been a mentor for my entire career, and I absolutely adore that work. I've wrapped up on doing one to ones for a little while because I'd done a lot of them and I'd served a lot of people. And actually, because I deliver so much of my one to one sessions, what I was finding is people need that ongoing accountability, they need that ongoing motivation, and that's what the program really brings. So I've designed it so that we spend a lot of time together, so that there's a lot of contact time both over zoom, but then also in half day mentoring sessions, personal mentoring sessions as well.

And I feel like that is like the best container for you to do the work that you need to do, but also to give space for when life just gets in the way and when things aren't working and when we can't stay motivated. So those whole kind of programs that jump us in and jump us out and we feel like we've done a really good job, but we can't sustain it. This is the opposite to that. This is spacious. We've got time. There's a real structure in the program, and I'm giving you all of the strategy and tools in the way that I work. So the way that my business works, I currently work three days a week within school hours. I've been part time since my first child was born in 2014.

And that is really the only way for me to work, to get things done. So we don't have childcare that can help and plug in. We just have the preschool option and the school option with our kids. So it's really myself and my husband making the housework, running our yoga studio business, which I'm starting now, and also running all of my creative workshops and my space holding for creatives on the Internet. So I've really had to design my routine and schedule so that it works for me and so that life comes first and work comes second, but that I also really love my work as well. So yes, let me share my screen with you. I'll pop my glasses on and you can see the overview of the program, the way that it stands. I'm doing lots more work behind the scenes, but I just wanted to share a little bit more about why I've designed it in this way and what you can expect.

So this is the website page that tells you all about it. We're just inviting people to join the waitlist at the moment, but you'll be sent the full details really soon. So the idea is that it's for you if you're self employed or you're running a small company. So sometimes that can look like a side hustle. Sometimes you're an artist, a creative. You're running a small company. You've got ambition to run a small company. You're making the juggle work in all the ways that we do, and you're making it all happen for you on your terms.

So you need to be quite a creative thinker to do the program. And by that I mean that you need to be able to not have to work to the rules of say, a nine to five or a specific structure. Like you need to be able to kind of be open to some more freedom within your work and you need to be able to give space to the things that your business needs as a living breathing entity that is separate from you. So in terms of values, my values are all around. Slow lived, entrepreneurialism, wholehearted living, generating wealth to distribute. So I'm a real big advocate for distributing wealth so we can strive towards being wealthy, but it's about redistributing that wealth. And if we are able to hold space for ourselves and our businesses to earn money, where else can we invest that money? Where can those abundant practices flow into? So it is a group program, so you'll need a little bit of energy to take part and we will meet you where you're at. So if you're feeling really flat one day and you just want to listen in, that's all absolutely golden, no problem.
