Confident and Killing It Sign Up Information

Hey you!

I think we can all agree that over the weekend there was a universal sigh of relief at the result of the US elections. For a lot of people hope, joy and peace were restored. This months encouraging words are inspired by the one and only Vice-President elect Kamala Harris who has made history and shattered glass ceilings by becoming the first Black, first Asian and first female Vice President of the United States. 

In her speech she said some really powerful words that got me thinking....

Hey you!

This email was meant to come last week but I couldn''t decide on what I wanted to say so I put it off. Sorryyy. I was torn between bringing you some super insightful wisdom about how "September = new beginnings"  or giving you an update on where I am in life right now. I''ve decided to keep it real (as I always do) and tell you about what''s going on with me because as much as I''m here to be your confidence coach and cheerleader, i''m also just a regular girl who loves bubble baths, chocolate and loads of TLC. 

For the past 2 months my heart and mind have not been on the same page. My heart has felt empty whilst my mind has been super charged.  When lockdown happened my brain went into game-time mode and charged through all the roadblocks thrown my way. I love it for that and I''m grateful for it''s resilience but it just never stops. After weeks of reflection I now understand that my mind likes productivity, success, meeting societies expectations and regime BUT my heart wants to travel, be adventurous, spontaneous and experience new things. Anyone else feel like this? 

So I got to a point where I was doing the work I loved but I felt empty inside. When you feel like there''s something missing in your life or you feel unfulfilled its because there''s a value you aren''t honouring. There''s something that really matters to you that you''re not prioritising. So that''s where I am this month. I''m slowing down on the work so I can rest, reconnect with my heart and actually prioritise what it needs. I need to find my creativity again, spend hours laughing uncontrollably for no reason and dance in the sun. Articulating this was not easy but i''m glad i''m sharing this with you now. I''m starting a journey to reconnect with my heart and tap into that inner wisdom and would love to bring you along with me.

Whew ok...It''s your turn! What''s the relationship between your heart and mind like? Is there balance? Has it been thrown off lately? What are you doing to get back to a good place? Click here to dm me or reply to this email would love to hear from you. 
 

Hello!

Thank you for joining Confident and Killing It. We''re a community of young women awake to our true worth. We are confident. We are unstoppable. We are daring.
So let the self-love revolution begin...  

Hey you!

Remember when lockdown happened in March and all my bookings got cancelled? Well out of that low point in life Killing It As An Entrepreneur was born. If you''re new to the community...Killing It As An Entrepreneur is all about sharing incredible knowledge and tools to help female entrepreneurs on their journey to becoming Confident and Killing It. It ran from April to June with over 1000 attendee''s and 20 panelists. Attendees left feeling more confident with the right mindset to start a new businesses or innovate an existing business. I''ve heard so many beautiful impact stories from the community so I just had to bring it back for the last time this year. 

 A lot of people are curious about how I went from 0 bookings in March to working with some of the worlds biggest companies - Facebook, Google, TikTok, Deloitte and many others by October and the secret behind it is marketing! Not just regular marketing, a new kind of marketing that leads with purpose rather than product. I''m going to be unpacking how to do it in my webinar THIS SUNDAY - Killing It As An Entrepreneur: Marketing 101 and will be joined by some incredible digital and social media creators and strategists like Karina @StyleIdealist, Agnes, Founder of BlackMindsMatter.UK and Daisy @The_Self_Hood. Link below to register!

THIS WEBINAR IS GOING TO COVER 4 KEY AREAS:

1. How to show up and speak confidently on camera and IG stories

2. How to market your brand in an authentic, purposeful and creative way that stands out and cuts through the noise

3. How move from full time to entrepreneur and secure your first big brand partnership or collaboration

4. How to use social media to grow your business and community

Hey you!

Remember when all my bookings got cancelled in March and I lost all my income, well guess what?  I made it all back and MORE. For me, part of living authentically involves sharing my good and bad days with you. I celebrate myself openly not to brag but actually to show you that anything is possible when you programme your mind for success and bet on yourself. Lockdown has been a rollercoaster for sure but the beautiful thing about rollercoasters is that they never stop moving forward. If you face a challenging situation and you give up, you 100% guarantee that your dream will never happen. So I want to encourage you to keep at whatever you are doing because you can never lose out when you bet on yourself. 

Here''s what making ?10,000 in lockdown taught me  
1. Whatever goes down must come back up - There is a time and season for everything. I committed to staying the path even on the down days. It is all part of the process.  

2. Don''t be afraid to fail - Failure is just an event, it''s not your identity. You have nothing to lose by exploring new things and ideas. If your worst case scenario happens you can always bounce back. I started a new webinar series and online masterclasses even though I''d never done it before. 

3. There''s power in our collective experiences - You''re never alone in what you''re going through. Your story has the ability to connect and inspire people. I built a strong personal brand that get''s me paid simply from using my voice in a powerful way. 

4. Invest in things people cannot take away from you - They cancelled my bookings but they couldn''t cancel my confidence or my creativity. Using the Confident and Killing It Toolkit, I''ve programmed my mind to be unstoppable and believe in my worth. Have you programmed your mind to work for you? Do you know who you are without your job, your relationships and all those titles?

Hey you!

First of all, thank you for all the positive messages I received from my last email about being burnt out. So many of you had been feeling the exact same way but couldn''t find the words to articulate it so I''m glad me opening up and sharing my experience helped. 

I''m happy to let you know your girl is BACK IN BUSINESS. I slowed down, went on holiday, totally switched off, it''s been incredible and now I feel like myself again. My heart is alive and my passion is restored. This is the beautiful thing about rest, the more you do it the more motivated and energised you are.

You wouldn''t go on a long car journey without putting fuel in your car, right? If you did you would literally break down on the road. So don''t try and do this journey called life with no fuel in your tank. Self-care isn''t a waste of time, self-care isn''t something you have to work for, self-care isn''t selfish, self-care is essential and you are always worthy and deserving of it. If you don''t rest you will burn out. Simple. 

One of the biggest myths about rest is that it''s really just about sleeping more but that''s not true. Did you know there are actually 5 different types of rest? Keep scrolling for the breakdown...

Hey you!

If you''re reading this right now it means you''ve made it through 7 MONTHS of 2020 and that is really something to celebrate. You''ve survived all the challenges thrown at you so far, you''re still here, you''re still going and I''m really really proud of you! The words on my mind for this month are THE POWER OF CHOICE. 

Our lives are the summation of the choices we make. You might not be able to control a lot of what is going on in the world right now but you can always control the choices you make.

Back in Feb I made a choice to stop in NYC on my way back to London (after being on holiday in San Francisco) to see if I could get any work opportunities. I sent about 50 emails and only got 3 responses that later fell through. I felt disappointed but stayed hopeful that something would materialise. On the day I landed in NYC I got a dm from Hollywood Actress Jameela Jamil about interviewing ME for her Youtube channel. CRAZY Right?? In this case I made a choice to bet on myself and it paid off!  I said no to fear and yes to being confident. 

From April to June I made a choice to say yes to anything people asked me to do. Workshop, podcast guest, panelist, content strategist...I said yes to it all. Looking back, I said yes because I was scared. I didn''t know where my next opportunity would come from so I just kept saying yes to everything. This is what I call a scarcity mindset and it drained my energy and creativity to the max. I was saying yes to everyone and saying no to myself and wellbeing. 

I''m using these 2 examples to show you that making choices that serve you leads to fulfilment and abundance whilst making choices based in fear often have a high cost and keep you stuck. 

So this month i''m making the choice to believe opportunities are in abundance and I''m learning to say no. This month I''m keeping the faith that what is for me will never miss me. What choices are you making this month?
