EP 75: The Magic of Allowing Yourself to Be on an Evolving Business Journey with Elise Danielle
Oh there's so much in this episode! From how to build deep connections with your people that leads to consistent amazing sales (even with a teeny tiny audience), to enduring “fails”, moving countries, shutting down businesses and building brand new ones that can withstand the test of time. Elise shares her amazing story doing all of this and how all the twists and turns have now led to her best life with amazing success. I know if just a few years ago you told me I was going to be a successful business coach, I would have laughed in your face, and then probably felt sick to my stomach with anxiety as there was no part of me that thought I'd end up here (and LOVING it!). So if you feel like life and business haven’t been a nice neat line of progression, and instead it’s feeling like a rollercoaster you never signed up for, then you’re going to LOVE this conversation, and I pray it highlights the amazing journey and destination that you can get to when you allow yourself to be on the messy journey of business.

As a mama business coach who's been navigating the entrepreneurial waters for nearly two decades, I can tell you that the path is rarely straight. This episode is a goldmine for any mother in business who's feeling stuck, frustrated, or wondering if she's on the right track.
Trust me, you'll want to lean in for this one!
Embracing the Twists and Turns of Your Business Journey
One of the most powerful quotes from our chat with Elise really resonated with me was:
"It never makes sense until after, and I think that's such a hard thing when you're in it."
This resonates so deeply with my own experience as a female entrepreneur. How many times have we looked back on our journey and thought, "Ah, now I see why that happened!"? The truth is, every 'failure', every pivot, every moment of doubt is actually shaping your unique path to success.
Elise shared her journey from nutrition coach to business mentor, and it reminded me of my own winding road from personal trainer to business coach for mums. These unexpected turns aren't setbacks - they're the very things that give us our edge, our unique perspective that our clients desperately need.
The Power of Authentic Communication
Another gem from our conversation was about the importance of clear, authentic communication in your business. As Elise put it:
"We have to build the skill of communicating. We have to build the skill of being able to market effectively through content, probably on social media, if you have an online business, because it's a really big free traffic driver."
This is something I'm passionate about as an online business coach. So many of us feel uncomfortable with 'selling' or putting ourselves out there. But here's the truth: your ideal clients are out there, waiting for exactly what you have to offer. They just need to hear about it in a way that resonates with them.
Key Takeaways:
Embrace your unique business journey - the twists and turns are part of your success story.
Focus on clear, authentic communication to connect with your ideal clients.
Don't be afraid to pivot when something isn't working - it's not failure, it's evolution.
Consistency in your offerings can lead to significant growth over time.
Social media is a powerful tool for connecting with your audience - find a way to make it work for you.
My Approach to Coaching Mums in Business
As a business coach for female entrepreneurs in the UK, I've seen firsthand how transformative these principles can be. One of my clients, a mum of two starting a wellness business from home, was struggling to find her voice on social media. We worked together to uncover her unique story and perspective, and within months, she was connecting authentically with her audience and seeing real growth in her business.
Another client, a military spouse like myself, was feeling lost after multiple relocations had disrupted her business plans. We focused on creating a flexible, online-based business model that could withstand the challenges of military life. Now, she's running a thriving virtual coaching practice that moves with her, wherever life takes her family.
Imagining Your Evolved Business Future
Close your eyes for a moment and picture this: It's a year from now. You're sitting in your favourite spot, sipping your morning coffee, and reflecting on your business journey. You smile as you think about the challenges you've overcome, the pivots you've made, and the growth you've experienced. Your business feels aligned with who you are and the life you want to live. You're making a real impact on your clients' lives, and you're doing it in a way that feels authentic and joyful to you.
This isn't just a dream - it's entirely possible with the right mindset and support.
