Let me guess…
You started your own business for all the same reasons I did:
For the freedom and flexibility of being your own boss.
To march to the beat of your own drum.
To make a difference.
To earn great money doing work you love.
And yet somehow it’s all feeling harder than you ever expected.
Instead of waking up feeling inspired and excited each day, you’re:
Feeling frustrated because you’re struggling to generate the revenue you need.
Feeling overwhelmed and spread too thin.
Spending too much time ‘in’ the business and not enough time ‘on’ the business.
Doing it all yourself, feeling like a slave to your business.
Feeling alone and unsupported.
I know those feelings because I’ve been there too.
It’s incredibly frustrating because you’re amazing at what you do.
To turn things around, it’s essential that you go back to basics and get your foundations right, which include:
Clear messaging that inspires people to take action.
A clear value proposition (i.e. why customers should buy from you instead of your competitors).
A clear and sound business plan and marketing strategy to generate the consistent profits you deserve.
If you:
Struggle to clearly define, communicate and package the value you bring to your clients in a way that brings in consistent leads and paying customers.
Feel stuck spinning your wheels, not knowing which steps to take and in what order to grow your business.
Feel spread too thin, scattered and unfocused in your efforts.
You’re in the right place!
I help you to:
Distil the ideas floating around in your head into clear and succinct marketing messages that convert.
Identify where you are in the business building journey (using my Business Builder’s Master Plan), and determine the exact steps to take next — and in what order — so you can focus your time and resources on the right things at the right time.
Connect with people, resources and support (e.g. virtual assistants, service providers) you need to get where you want to go.
When I reached out to Kate about a year ago, I didn’t really know where to start. We’ve been working together consistently for 12 months now, and I am so very grateful for how much she’s guided me on implementing strategies to get my business up and running. Kate knew exactly what I needed. She is one of a kind, a true professional, compassionate and brilliant with her craft. I look forward to continue on working with Kate and highly recommend her services to anyone that needs support with their business.

There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to growing a business.
Every business — and every business owner — is different.
I’ve been growing businesses and coaching hundreds of clients to grow theirs for nearly a decade now. I’ve learned that growing a business is a bit like commanding an orchestra — you need to get all the different instruments and sections working together in harmony in order to generate ever-increasing revenue. My Inspired Business Wheel (TM) below shows all the different elements that need to work together.
But most importantly, you need to do business in a way that feels good to YOU — that feels authentic. When you’re out of alignment with your core values, it doesn’t work.
Doing business in a way that feels inauthentic or forced is exhausting and unsustainable.
Successful business is as much about growing yourself as it is about growing your business. When you get into full alignment with your authentic self — and you couple that with smart strategy — success is inevitable.
What if you could:
Align your business approach and growth strategy with your core values and authentic self so it feels fulfilling and inspiring.
Arm yourself with simple but effective business and marketing strategies to bring consistent leads and clients.
Implement systems and automation that do the heavy lifting for you.
Develop a team of great people or virtual assistants to support your growth goals.
Increase your profitability and time freedom so you can work less, earn more and enjoy life a whole lot more.
The good news is … you can!
And I can help you.

My mission is to help you find a way to articulate the value and power of what you do in a way that magnetises opportunities and customers to you — and couple it with a powerful growth strategy to meet your growth goals.
I know how hard it can be growing your own business.
When I decided to branch out on my own to start my own business in 2014, I was passionate about making a difference in my own way, and on my own terms.
You can read my full story here.
I had passion, a big vision, and a burning desire to make a difference.
But for years I struggled to get my business off the ground. I got distracted by paths that I thought would be more lucrative from a money-generating point of view. It wasn’t until I got really clear on my own unique Zone of Genius and structured my business around that, that my business started to thrive.
When you operate in your zone of genius, business flows.
My mission is to help you:
Get crystal clear on your purpose and your unique zone of genius as an individual and business.
Find the exact words to powerfully describe the value you bring and the transformation you create for your customers.
Create marketing assets (website, social media channels, capability statements, customer journey) that inspire your perfect customers to take action.
Plan strategically for growth and impact.
Enjoy financial freedom, results and impact through clarity and impactful action.

Based on client feedback, these are my ‘Business Superpowers’.
MY BUSINESS SUPERPOWERS
An ability to find strategic solutions that help you grow with clarity and ease.
With a 15-year background in science and process engineering, I have an analytical mind that enables me to assess situations from multiple angles, envision the bigger picture and connect all the dots for you. I’m highly trained and experienced in ‘systems thinking’ which is the ability to assess a system as a whole to find the bottlenecks and leverage points. I help you turn abstract ideas and concepts into practical and tangible plans and strategies that generate revenue. I’ve helped dozens of businesses, organisations and not-for-profits to plan strategically to achieve growth and impact.
I‘m a word genius—I help you find the words that compel your prospects to take action.
As a professional blogger and bestselling author, writing and words are my natural gift. I can easily find the exact words to accurately articulate the power of what you do as a business owner. You’ll walk away with clear and powerful messaging that succinctly tells your clients why you’re so good at what you do and why they need to work with you.
I’m intuitive, kind, and compassionate.
I’m not your regular business consultant. I intimately know and understand the struggles that business owners face. I help you uncover what’s holding you back, with kindness, so you can move through your internal blocks with ease and grace to become even more powerful.
In her, I have found a friend, a confidant, a loyal ally and a tenacious and constant support. I look forward to many more years working with her mentorship and guidance. I cannot recommend working with Kate highly enough.
