WELCOME TO INSPIRED BUSINESS WITH KATE DE JONG
Business and marketing strategy for small business owners who want bigger results, minus the struggle.Hello and welcome!
Let me guess. You started (or want to start) 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.
You’re passionate about making a difference.
You want to earn great money doing what you love.
You have a great product or service that you know helps others and people need.
And yet somehow it’s all feeling way harder than you expected.
Instead of waking up feeling inspired each day, you’re:
Feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
Wondering where the next clients are going to come from or how you’re going to generate the revenue you need.
Wishing you had someone to tell you what to do.
Wishing someone could do all your marketing so you can focus on serving clients (the bit you love).
You’re spread too thin, working too hard and feel scattered in your efforts.
You’re doing it all yourself, feeling like a slave to your business and wondering if you’ll ever enjoy financial freedom or get your life back.
You’re feeling alone and wishing you could feel supported by others on the same path.
If that’s you, you’re in the right place.
Help has arrived.

is to help you cut through all the noise to focus on what matters most when it comes to establishing a sustainable, profitable business.
I know how hard it can be growing your own business.
When I decided to branch out on my own to start my coaching 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.
But I had no idea how hard it would be to build my own business!
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.
Thanks to some wonderful business coaches over the years, I’ve learned all of the strategies necessary to establish my own thriving coaching practice.
Now I get to spend my days making great money, while making the difference I feel I’m here to make.
I’ve mastered the art of becoming a successful business owner, and I’m passionate about helping you to master it too!
The world needs more successful small businesses because I believe small business is the lifeblood of the economy. And small business is a space for people like you and me to unleash our full potential, to uplift humanity.
So what makes me different from my competitors and why do my clients choose me?
Every coach is different. When looking around for a business coach, it’s important to find someone you resonate with and who has the credentials and experience to guide you.
Based on client feedback, these are my ‘Business Superpowers’.
MY BUSINESS SUPERPOWERS
A lightning-fast ability to identify the opportunities for growth in your business.
With a PhD and fifteen years of experience in process engineering, I’m highly trained in ‘systems thinking’ which is the ability to assess a system as a whole to find the bottlenecks and leverage points.
I can quickly analyse your business to find easily implementable actions that have a big impact on your bottom line.
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 coach telling you to ‘hustle harder’ or ‘smash it’. 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.
