The $10M Solopreneur | Helping 100,000+ burned-out corporate professionals build six-figure, one-person online businesses.

Over the last decade, I helped build two companies past a $1B valuation and raise over $300M in venture capital. 

Then, in 2019, I burned out.

So, I decided to walk away from my high-paying executive job.

But, before I could, I had a hypothesis.

I believed building an audience online would be an incredible asset. That attention was the new currency and would play a major part in my success as an entrepreneur.

So, I started building my brand on LinkedIn in early 2019. 

And the results were pretty phenomenal.

In just 6 months, I grew from zero followers to over 20,000.

And on August 1st of 2019, I walked away from my executive role at a fast-growing startup.

Since that day, I've spent my time building a number of one-person Internet businesses.

My results:

→ $10.3M+ in business revenue at a ~86% profit margin.
→ 750K+ people following my journey on LinkedIn
→ 535K+ people following my journey on Twitter
→ 175K+ people read my weekly newsletter
→ 900M+ impressions in the last 6 years

If you want to learn more about how I did this, you can take one of my self-guided courses.

Two years is nothing.

And also everything!

I started at 38 with zero followers and absolutely no idea what I was doing.

Two years later?

I reached 100,000 followers and achieved $1 million in revenue.

I never could have predicted that on day one.

In fact...it felt like the complete opposite was bound to happen.

The only reason I kept going was because it was fun and interesting.

Here's what most people don't understand:

You can't see the finish line at the start.
You have to trust the process & enjoy the ride.

Build when no one's buying.
Publish when no one's watching.
Keep going when everyone's quitting.

Because two years is both nothing and everything.

Nothing in the grand scheme of the work you'll do.
Everything in terms of what it can change.

Two years of consistent action?

That's 730 days of compounding.
730 chances to get better.

And at the end of those two years?

You won't recognize your life.

New income. 
New freedom. 
New options.

All because you didn't quit when it felt slow.

So if you're just starting or feeling stuck, remember this:

Two years from now, you'll wish you had started today.

Six years ago, I couldn't imagine this...

$11.4M+ business, 800K+ followers, freedom to spend my time as I please.

All because I was "dumb" enough to keep trying.

Your turn.

The people winning aren't smarter.

They just never stopped learning.

I see this pattern everywhere.

The person who thinks they know it all?

Stuck at the same level for years.

The person who's constantly curious?

Rising fast.

Here's why:

The world changes every day.

What worked last year doesn't work now.
What you learned in school is already outdated.
What got you here won't get you there.

So you've got two choices:

Keep learning.
Or get left behind.

I'm 44 and I still spend hours every week learning.

Reading books.
Testing new strategies.
Staying curious.

Not because I have to.

Because that's what keeps me relevant.

The moment you think you've figured it all out is the moment you start falling behind.

Your competition isn't standing still.
The market isn't standing still.
Technology isn't standing still.

So why would you?

Stay sharp.
Stay curious.
Stay growing.

That's how you keep rising.

The real flex?

Being yourself.

Most people build for the image.

The likes.
The followers.
The validation.

They post what sounds impressive.
They share what looks good.
They hide what's real.

But here's what I learned:

Authenticity is the only competitive advantage that can't be copied.

When you're real, people trust you.
When you're honest, people connect with you.
When you're yourself, people buy from you.

I stopped trying to sound like everyone else at 38.

Started writing like I talk.
Sharing what I actually think.
Building in public with all the messy parts.

That's what grew my audience to 800K.

Not by being impressive.

By being real.

The flex isn't the image you project.

It's the courage to be yourself when it's easier to fake it.

That's the foundation of everything I teach.

The Creator MBA shows you how to turn who you actually are into a business people truly want to buy from.

111 lessons on building an authentic brand that attracts, connects, and converts.

It's how I turned my experience, expertise, and personality into an 8-figure business.

Zero fakeness required.

Be yourself.
Build from there.

You're not behind.

You're still becoming.

I see people in their 20s panicking because they haven't "made it" yet.

People in their 30s thinking they missed their chance.

People in their 40s believing it's too late.

But here's the truth:

Life doesn't follow a timeline.

- Lost at 22.
- Broke at 28.
- Unsure at 31.
- Rising at 35.
- Entrepreneur at 38.
- Building a dream life at 44.

There's no deadline for success.

I was 38 when I started my business.

Burned out. Starting from scratch. No clue what I was doing.

By 44, I built a $10M+ business.

Not because I was ahead.

Because I trusted the process and kept moving.

Most people quit because they compare their chapter 3 to someone else's chapter 20.

But your story is yours.

Stop rushing.
Stop comparing.
Just keep building.

Greatness isn't rushed.

It's earned one day at a time.

This is exactly why I built The Creator MBA.

111 lessons showing you how to turn "starting over" into "taking over."

Everything I know about becoming an entrepreneur:

- Building an audience
- Choosing a profitable niche
- Creating your first offer
- Making it irresistable

Your timeline is perfect.
Now go build something on it.

The $10M Solopreneur | Helping 100,000+ experts turn their experience and expertise into income.

Stay locked in.

No time for drama.
No time for gossip.
No time for comparisons.

Just you and your progress.

Most people waste energy on things that don't matter.

Scrolling.
Complaining.
Watching what everyone else is doing.

But the people who win?

They're too busy building.

I learned this the hard way.

When I was stuck, I was distracted.
When I was growing, I was locked in.

The difference wasn't talent.

It was focus.

Discipline isn't about doing more.

It's about eliminating everything that doesn't move you forward.

Your growth demands your full attention.

Everything else is noise.

Every Saturday morning, I send one focused email to 175,000+ entrepreneurs.

No fluff. No filler. Just one actionable idea to help you build.

It takes 4 minutes to read.

It's free.

And it's designed to keep you locked in while everyone else gets distracted.

Join here: https://buff.ly/VzhEczR

Stay focused.

Keep building.

You can be rich and miserable.

Or rich and present.

Choose wisely.

I know people making seven figures who are absolutely miserable.

Always working.
Always stressed.
Always chasing the next milestone.

They got the money.

But they lost everything else in the process.

Here's what nobody tells you about success:

More money doesn't automatically mean more freedom.

In fact, it usually means the opposite.

More clients.
More complexity.
More problems to solve.

Unless you build it differently from the start.

I spent years grinding before I figured this out.

Working weekends.
Saying yes to everything.
Constantly "on."

And you know what I realized?

The hustle culture BS is just that. BS.

You don't need to work more.
You need to work smarter.

So I rebuilt everything around systems, not hustle.

Now I work 4-6 hours a day.
Take weekends off.
Actually enjoy what I've built.

And the business? Still grows.

Because I stopped confusing activity with progress.

Don't sacrifice your life for your business.

Build your business around your life instead.

Want to build a business that runs without running you into the ground?

I documented the 111 exact systems that let me work half the hours while growing to $10M+.

7,000+ entrepreneurs are already using it: https://buff.ly/G7e899d

Experience is brutal.

It gives you the test first.
Then the lesson.

You launch and fail.
Then you learn why.

You post and get ignored.
Then you learn what works.

You build and hear crickets.
Then you learn what people actually want.

There's no shortcut around this.

Nothing replaces experience.
No mentor can do it for you.
No amount of planning prevents it.

You have to DO it.
You have to LIVE it.

I failed for years before I figured out what worked.

Lost money on bad ideas.
Built things nobody wanted.
Wasted time on the wrong strategies.

But every failure taught me something I couldn't learn any other way.

That's how you get good.

Not by avoiding mistakes.
By making them faster and learning from them.

The test comes first.
The lesson comes after.
That's the deal.

I finally recorded 111 (hard-earned) lessons on building an audience and business from scratch, so that you don't have to go through as many of them.

- Choosing a profitable idea
- Separating yourself from the pack
- Using content marketing to guide people
- Funnel building + conversion optimization
- Scaling from 5 to 6 to 7-figures over the years

Slow progress beats no progress.

Every time.

Most people quit right before it works.

They post for 30 days. No traction.
They build for 90 days. No revenue.
They show up for 6 months. Nothing.

So they stop.

And they never know how close they were.

Because results don't show up on schedule.

They show up after consistency.

I posted on LinkedIn for 8 months before anything happened.

8 months of doubt.
8 months of crickets.
8 months of "will this work?"

Then it clicked.

Not overnight. Not all at once.

But it happened.

And it only happened because I didn't quit.

The people who succeed aren't the most talented.

They're the ones who stayed in the game long enough to win.

If you're ready to understand how to use data and analytics to grow on LinkedIn, join 45,000+ students (including 200+ LinkedIn Top Voices) inside of the LinkedIn Operating System to shortcut the game and (finally) grow.

Start here: https://buff.ly/8weY0jL

It won't happen overnight.

But it will happen if you follow this plan.

Everyone says pick two.

Let's build all three!

If you build it right, you can:

1) Make a lot of money
2) Help a lot of people
3) Have a lot of fun

Most people think they need to choose.

Help people, but stay broke.
Make money, but hate the work.
Have fun, but build nothing meaningful.

I believed that for years.

Spent 15 years making great money in corporate.

But I wasn't helping many people.

And I definitely wasn't having as much fun.

Then at 38, I asked:

What if I could have all three?

People said I was naive.

I ignored them.

Instead, I built a business that:

• Teaches people to build businesses (help)
• Has made over $11.6M in revenue (money)
• Let's me work when I want from where I want (fun)

Turns out, you can have all three.

You just have to build it intentionally.

Find something you're good at.
Package it so people will pay for it.
Build it in a way that doesn't consume your life.

Most people fail because they optimize for one and ignore the other two.

But you can have all three.

The Creator MBA shows you exactly how.

111 lessons on building a business that makes real money, helps real people, and doesn't steal your life in the process. 

8,000+ students are already inside making it happen.

Black Friday ends in 16 hours.

After midnight tonight, the 75% discount disappears forever.

Get in now: https://buff.ly/elfDofH

Stop choosing between money, impact, and freedom.

Build all three.

You've got 16 hours left at this price.

The goal is no more meaningless work.

Let me explain:

I spent 16 years in corporate.

Endless meetings about meetings.
Projects that went nowhere.
Tasks that didn't matter.
Work that felt hollow.

I wasn't tired of working. I was tired of working on things that didn't matter.

Then I left and built my own thing.

And guess what? Sometimes I work MORE now than I ever did.

But it doesn't feel like work.

Because I own it.
Because it matters.
Because I decide what gets my time.

That's the difference.

Meaningful work energizes you.
Meaningless work drains you.

Most people aren't looking to retire and do nothing. They just want their effort to count for something.

So if you're exhausted, ask yourself:

Am I tired of working?
Or am I just tired of THIS work?

The answer changes everything.

I built The Creator MBA to show you exactly how I made that shift. 

111 lessons on building an audience, creating products people want, and replacing your corporate income with work that actually matters. 

This is the complete system I used to go from burned-out employee to 8-figure business owner working on my own terms.

It's 75% off for early Black Friday. 

Watch it now: https://buff.ly/JZMm8gU

This is your chance to build something meaningful.

You can't build a one-person business.

People won't pay for your work.

Making it as a creator is impossible...

How wrong they were.

Here's what I've learned over 6 years:

The loudest critics are the most afraid.
The biggest skeptics are the least accomplished.
The harshest words come from those who never tried.

The truth?

Growth forces people to question their own choices.
Achievement challenges their limiting beliefs.
Success makes others uncomfortable.

So they try to stop you.

Not because you can't.

But because they're scared you WILL.

I built my business anyway.

You should, too.

Want the exact playbook?

The Creator MBA is a 111-lesson course on building a profitable one-person business from scratch.

Every framework I used to go from $0 to $11.5M in revenue.
Every system that turned my ideas into paying customers.
Every strategy that actually worked (and what didn't).

This is the course that 8,000+ students used to replace their income, quit their jobs, and build freedom on their terms.

Right now it's 75% off for early Black Friday: https://buff.ly/JZMm8gU

But this price will disappear soon.

After that, it goes back to full price.

Time to prove the critics wrong...

Building a portfolio of one-person businesses to $5M+ in revenue.

Nobody takes you seriously yet. 

That's your advantage.

Because tomorrow's multi-millionaires are today's one-person businesses that nobody's taking seriously yet.

The consultant at their kitchen table.
The creator with 2,500 followers.
The freelancer who "needs a real job."

I've seen this movie before:

2018: "Don't do business on LinkedIn."
2020: "That business isn't sustainable."
2022: "One-person businesses can't scale."

Meanwhile, these "fake" businesses are doing:

• $50K months with no team
• $1M years with no office
• $10M lifetimes with no investors

The pattern never changes:

Year 1: "That's cute."
Year 3: "That's lucky."
Year 5: "How did you do that?"

We're not building something they recognize.

No org charts.
No pitch decks.
Just ridiculous margins.

By the time they take you seriously, you'll be too expensive to hire.

I went from "mid-life crisis" to $10.5M.

While they laughed and doubted.

Your "little" business isn't little.
It's early.

Want to be tomorrow's success story here on LinkedIn?

Steal the playbook → https://buff.ly/cjolSEv 

Let them laugh.

You'll be too busy building to care.

Everyone's worried about looking stupid.

Meanwhile, stupid people are getting rich.

They're launching "dumb" ideas.
Building "basic" businesses.
Charging "crazy" prices.

While you're worried about looking silly...

Remember this:

That executive you're trying to impress?

She forgot your name already.

That peer you're competing with?

He's too worried about his own image.

That random connection judging your pivot?

They'll scroll past you in under a second.

We spend decades performing for an audience that doesn't exist.

• Crafting the perfect career story
• Following the "right" path
• Playing it safe to look smart

But the truth is, everyone's too busy worrying about their own show to watch yours.

This isn't depressing.

It's freedom.

Pure, unlimited, life-changing freedom.

Because once you accept that nobody's watching, you can finally:

Build the business everyone said was silly.
Share the story you've been hiding.
Make the pivot that scares you.
Charge what you're actually worth.

Stop being the person you think they want.
Start being the person you actually are.

The market rewards authenticity, not approval.

I learned this the hard way, and it's exactly why I turned sharing my real story on LinkedIn into an 8-figure business.

Want to stop performing and start building something real on LinkedIn?

I broke down the exact system that took me from zero to 800K+ followers by just being myself.

See how it works: https://buff.ly/BhszdAa

What would you create today if you knew nobody cared?

Talk about and build that.

Every change in my life starts the same.

Fear.

Quitting my job? Terrifying.
Moving to the mountains? Uncomfortable.
Starting my business? Felt impossible.

But fear isn't a stop sign.

It's an arrow.

The phone call you don't want to make.
The idea that won't leave you alone.
The move that feels risky.

They're not obstacles.

They're invitations.

So I follow a simple rule:

If something makes me nervous, I lean in.

Not because I like fear. I don't.

But because I know what's on the other side.

Growth.
Freedom.
The life I actually want.

What you resist gets bigger.
What you confront gets smaller.

I spent 15 years avoiding the thing that scared me most.

Starting my own business.

Then I finally did it.

And it changed everything.

Now when fear shows up, I don't run from it.

I follow it.

What's scaring you right now?

Maybe that's exactly where you need to go next.

Starting my business was terrifying.

But staying stuck was worse.

The Creator MBA is everything I learned going from scared corporate employee to $10M+ business owner.

111 lessons. No fluff. Just the roadmap I wish I had when fear was the only thing standing in my way.

It's 75% off for Black Friday: https://buff.ly/JZMm8gU

Your future is on the other side of that fear.

Go get it.

You think you're playing it safe.

You're not.

The longer you avoid risk, the riskier your life becomes.

Think about it:

The "safe" job that makes you irrelevant.
The business you don't start.
The post you don't publish.

Every day you play it safe, the world moves without you.

Your skills get stale.
Your ideas stay hidden.
Your network stays small.

Then one day, you realize the "safe" choice was the riskiest thing you've ever done.

I see this with people who want to build online but never start.

They wait to feel credible.
They wait for more to say.
They wait for the perfect post.

Meanwhile, people with half their experience are building audiences and creating opportunities.

The risk isn't publishing and failing.

The risk is staying invisible.

I took the risk six years ago.
Started posting with no idea what I was doing.

It felt uncomfortable.

But staying quiet? That was actually risky.

If you're ready to start building visibility, the LinkedIn Operating System gives you the exact playbook. 

45,000+ students, including over 200 LinkedIn Top Voices, used it to go from undiscovered to growing and monetizing their LinkedIn: https://buff.ly/ALO2j0P

Remember:

The riskiest thing you can do is never start.

You'll never feel ready.

So start anyway.

Everyone waits for the perfect moment.

The right skills.
The perfect plan.
Complete confidence.

But here's the truth:

You start.
You suck.
You figure it out.
You get better.

That's how it works.

I wasn't ready when I quit my job.

I wasn't ready when I posted my first piece of content.

I wasn't ready when I launched my first product.

But I did it anyway.

And that's what made all the difference.

Waiting for ready is just another word for never starting.

The people who win aren't more prepared.

They just move faster.

And here's what helps you move faster:

A proven system for building your audience.
A content strategy that doesn't require perfection.
A business framework you can launch before you're ready.

That's what turns messy action into real results.

The Creator MBA is that system.

19111 lessons showing you how to go from zero audience to real income. 

Build while you work. Launch before you're ready. Scale as you learn.

8,000+ students are already inside making it happen.

Do'ers vs. dreamers.

It's not talent or connections.

Do'ers ship before they're ready.
Dreamers wait for the "perfect" moment.

I've watched countless people with million-dollar ideas do absolutely nothing with them.

They talk about it nonstop.
They work on the concept forever.
They wait for "just one more thing" to fall into place.

Meanwhile, someone with half the talent and 25% of the vision launches something mediocre.

And wins.

Because done beats perfect every single time.

The market doesn't reward the best idea.

It rewards the best execution.

I didn't have the perfect product when I started.

But I shipped it anyway.

And that imperfect action turned into an eight-figure business over 6 years.

If you're tired of sitting on your expertise while others are out there building and earning, I recorded a complete behind-the-scenes class on creating, launching, and scaling your idea.

It's called The Creator MBA, and it shows you exactly how to execute.

Stop dreaming.

The myth of overnight success:

It doesn't exist.

What looks like luck is usually:

• Years of unseen effort
• Relentless persistence
• Countless failures and lessons

Most people:

• See the highlight reel
• Chalk success up to "luck"
• Ignore the behind-the-scenes work

Success is an iceberg.

The visible part is tiny compared to what's beneath.

Stop waiting for your lucky break and start creating it through your work.

Your "big break" is built daily, not discovered.

Want to create your own luck?

There's no better place than LinkedIn.

I put together the most comprehensive research in the market on LinkedIn and packaged it in 90 min. of video.

Here's the full playbook: https://buff.ly/Rp0XTBD

Nobody wants to hear this. But it's true.

Success is boring.

It's not the big breakthrough.
Not the viral moment.
Not the genius strategy.

It's showing up. Again, and again, and again.

Even when nothing's working.

I started my business by writing on LinkedIn for 6 months before anything happened.

Zero traction.
No one cared.
Barely any engagement.

But I kept going.

Not because I'm special. Because I knew the only way to lose was to stop.

Most people quit right before it works.

They publish for a few weeks.
See no results.
Convince themselves it's not worth it.

Then they watch someone else blow up and think, "They got lucky."

No. They just outlasted you.

That's the game!

Patience isn't passive. It's active endurance.

Doing the work when it doesn't feel like it's working.
Showing up when no one's watching.
Trusting the process when you can't see progress.

That's how you win.

Not with one big move. With a thousand small ones.

So if you're frustrated because things aren't moving fast enough...

Good. That means you're still in it.

Stay patient. Keep moving.

The people who win are just the ones who refused to quit.

I documented every single system I used to stay consistent for 2,281 days straight.

Everything is easy when the crowd's cheering.

But the real work? 

That happens in silence.

I remember the looks.

Friends asking "are you okay?"
Family mentioning job openings.
Posts with 3 likes.

Those moments? That's where growth happens.

I wrote for 8 months to crickets.

A few likes.
No comments.
Just me wondering if anyone would ever care.

That's where most people quit.

But after a year of showing up anyway, something clicked.

The compound effect kicked in.

That silence switched into an 8-figure business.

The best decision I made? Not stopping when it made no sense to continue.

If you're in that quiet phase right now, feeling invisible...keep going.

I documented the entire process of going from crickets to $11.7M+ over six years.

Most people dream of building a successful business to create additional income streams.
Unfortunately, they start from the wrong place by getting caught up with all the busy actions.

What they should have done is start with the right foundation - BEING the successful entrepreneur first.
Yes, even before you have the successful outcome you seek - yet.

This can be hard - it's like asking you to be something you're not, and don't believe you are.

Employee to entrepreneur in 1 hour a day?

(No, this isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme.)

It’s a daily practice for women in corporate aspiring to be entrepreneurs to:

- Be clear about their niche and who their ideal clients are
- Bravely promote themselves without the fear of being seen 
- Have a real action plan they can stick with consistently IRL
- Know that she can figure (sh)it out without stress and anxiety

This practice is based on the proven MAP Method to help you:

- Build: A sustainable business that works even on your worst days
- Execute: On your vision and take consistent action with clarity
- Trust: Yourself to make things work no matter what happens

Making your first sale is the heaviest lift, especially coming from corporate.

There are many ‘rules’ you’ll have to unlearn to succeed in business.

Lambros teaching entrepreneurship don’t get it. They don’t have to:

- Work another full-time job
- Be responsible for kids and elderly parents
- Deal with potential conflicts of interest at work

It’s pointless to learn something you can’t stick with or burns you out.

No matter how much money it promises to make.

Doing something that works for you is how you’ll enjoy and stick with it. 

This is how you’ll sign clients and make real money in your business.

Book a MAP Your Business call to learn how to do this (link in Featured Section).

Here’s what clients say after a MAP session with me:

‘I started my 1st coaching session with Sharon being very stressed out and overwhelmed. Since then, after each coaching session, I've been able to realize a greater sense of peace, calm and stability… experiencing an openness to embrace challenges as they come with a more positive outlook on challenges & negative experiences.’
~ Lin, Senior Leader at professional services firm

‘Before I had a coaching session with Sharon, I was feeling tired and exhausted from a long day at work. During our session, Sharon guided me through a relaxation process. I was able to let go of all my tension to the point that my headache disappeared… I felt more relaxed, calmer and ready to take on the remaining part of my day.’ 
~ Waldi Helma, Senior Program Manager, Social Services

‘Our conversation kickstarted a several-weeks-long process of self exploration and self education. That led to rethinking the way I structure my offerings, and learning more about marketing with a fresh mindset… I have more clarity and alignment now. Thank you for pointing me in the direction I needed to go in.’
~ Rimi Yoshida, Emotional Resilience Coach and Healer

Your midweek reminder: You’re not behind. You’re building for the season of life you’re in. Showing up consistently for your business looks different for moms like us.

If you’ve thought:
- I’m failing because I can’t post daily.
- I’m not consistent enough to succeed.
- I’m tired and guilty for wanting a break.

Then listen to this episode on your drive to work, as you make dinner, or sit in the school pickup line to show up consistently for your business as a working mom.

It’ll offer you a different perspective and a tangible way to design your business so that it works for you.

'Speak up more.' Easy for them to say, right? People always think if you’re quiet at work, it’s because you’re shy, introverted, or just not confident enough.

But that’s not the real story.

I used to be the quiet one - not just at work, but everywhere. I was the kid who prayed the teacher wouldn’t call on her. I mastered the art of nodding without actually saying a word.

Colleagues would nudge, 'You should speak up.' My manager literally pointed it out on performance reviews.

But they never asked WHY.

Here’s what was actually happening under the surface:

- I was scared I’d sound clueless.
- I dreaded saying the 'wrong' thing and getting side-eyed in meetings.
- I worried someone would challenge me and I’d freeze.
- To be honest, I felt like a fraud half the time, terrified I’d get found out.

None of this is about being 'too quiet'.

It’s about protection.

If you’ve ever been laughed at for a wrong answer, or made to feel small for not knowing something, you learn to hide. You want to avoid the spotlight because the spotlight can burn.

But here’s the catch: safety comes at a cost.

For me, it meant:
- not asking for a pay rise, because what if they said no?
- not putting my ideas on the table, because what if they sounded silly?
- not raising my hand for new projects, because what if I messed up?

Even LinkedIn felt like a stage I wasn’t ready for. What if people found out I didn’t know everything? What if I tripped up publicly, in front of all those polished professionals, and the senior leaders I worked with?

Then something changed.

No, it wasn’t some magical burst of confidence. It was more like desperation, honestly.

My family needed more - I needed to pay off debt. I took a job that required me to get up and train people. I was terrified, but I did it. Then I did it again. And something shifted.

I realised the worst thing was never saying the wrong thing - it was staying invisible.

Now, I work with women who are right where I was. Brilliant, hard-working, but still weighed down by old stories and old scars.

Here’s what I know: 
If you’re holding back because of fear, you’re in good company. Most people are, they just hide it well. But you don’t have to stay there.

If any of this hits home, I’d love to hear from you. What actually stops you from speaking up or putting yourself out there? 

You might be surprised at how many people feel the same way. Sometimes, naming the fear is the first step to letting it go.

You see, it really isn't that hard...
This might seem like nothing to a big creator here, but for me, the math just works out:

- 5 minute post over lunch
- 264 impressions
- 1 follower

Which means 1 potential lead turned customer (I charge $120/hour for my power hour consult calls). 

Not bad for 5 minutes of 'work'. 

This is what it looks like to start and grow your business while working a job, raising kids, and keeping up with my daily self-care routines. 

P.S. This week is a busy one at work. Which means I get be resourceful and creative with my LinkedIn posts. 

P.P.S. Guess how long this post took to write? Answer in the comment!

Last week, I barely touched my business. No LinkedIn posts, no progress on my new offer, no ‘engagement’. And immediately, I heard my critical, judgemental self go:

‘This is why you’re not growing.’
‘You’re behind again.’
‘Other people are doing more than you.’

Ever catch yourself doing that?

But then I remember what a business coach once told me:
What if consistency isn’t about frequency, but about coming back, again and again, even if it’s imperfect?

If you’re a corporate woman who wants to start showing up online but you’re scared, overwhelmed, or don’t know what to say, book a power hour with me.

Here's what we’ll do together:
- clarify what you want to be known for
- create a simple content rhythm that fits your life (job, kids, exhaustion)
- build a safe visibility plan even if your boss or HR might see

If you freeze every time you’re about to post on LinkedIn, it doesn’t mean you’re not confident. It means your brain has linked ‘being visible’ with ‘being unsafe’. 

I grew up being rewarded for being the quiet, compliant, ‘good girl’. No wonder visibility feels like I’m breaking the rules.

I knew staying silent was costing me, not just money and opportunities, but also the potential to help someone who’s struggling alone with something I’ve overcome.

Eventually, I made the shift from quiet and afraid to sharing my insights and experience. 

I made this shift not by forcing myself to ‘be confident’. Instead, I asked myself, ‘how can I make this feel safer?’

I started:
- posting for one woman who needed my help
- commenting instead of publishing big posts
- setting clear boundaries on what I will and won’t share

That helped me get more comfortable sharing publicly. 

If you want help creating a visibility plan that feels safe, respectful of your job, and realistic for your energy as a working mom, then book a discovery call with me.

Have you noticed how posting on Instagram feels fine, but posting on LinkedIn feels terrifying.

In this week’s podcast, I talked about why LinkedIn feels uniquely risky:
- it feels permanent and searchable
- it’s tied to your professional identity
- you worry it might affect your future opportunities
- you imagine your boss, HR, and senior leaders reading every word

From my HR lens, I also shared:
- why ‘no presence at all’ can be just as risky
- why someone who writes on LinkedIn impresses me 
- why a thoughtful, active profile can help you stand out

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines because LinkedIn feels like a career landmine, this episode will give you practical next steps so you can do it in a calm, non-stressful way.

I answered this question one early morning at 4:30AM after a week feeling tired, overwhelmed, regret: If building my business were easy, what would it look like?

My answer was simple:
- Mornings → journal + create content
- Lunch → client calls + LinkedIn engagement
- Evenings → family + rest (without guilt)

Not the hustle model. 
Not ‘leave 100 comments a day’. 
Just a rhythm that fits my real life.

I’m building something new for women just like us - corporate women who want to build something of their own without quitting their job or burning out.

If you want to be the first to know when it launches, subscribe to my newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/eqei5Qp6

We think success comes from massive action like long nights, long hours, posting every day. But for working moms, success looks different.

It looks like:
- 1 LinkedIn comment during your lunch break
- writing content from your journal at 5AM
- recording a podcast before the kids wake up
- choosing sleep instead of hustling at 11PM

Small steps count because they teach you to trust yourself.

If you want support in creating your own version of this, with clarity and zero guilt, then book a Power Hour with me.

Here's what we'll work on together:
- a clear message
- a visibility plan that won’t risk your job
- a rhythm that fits your life, not someone else’s

Today will simply be a post about showing up here with whatever time you have. This is how working moms building a business on the side do it. 

Pockets of time.
While having lunch. 
Waiting in line. 

Share one insight today. 

P.S. on a low carb lunch. What’s for lunch? I promise I won’t go all IG on you now lol

Ever wondered why so many smart, talented women hold back in meetings and conversations? It's almost never about confidence.

The truth is, many of us are conditioned to stay silent. We're told not to rock the boat, to wait our turn, to avoid being 'too much'. So even when we have something valuable to say, we hesitate.

Add to that a lack of psychological safety and a healthy dose of perfectionism, and it's no surprise so many brilliant women are biting their tongues.

But here's what really happens when you stay quiet:

You get seen as less confident and less competent.
People assume you have less potential.
Opportunities pass you by.

This isn't just about missing out on a promotion or new business. Over time, it chips away at your self-belief and keeps you stuck.

I've just recorded a podcast episode diving deep into this pattern. If you're ready to break it, try these three small shifts:

1. Start with micro steps. Speak up in low-risk situations. Share your ideas with a trusted colleague. Tiny moves build huge momentum.

2. Question the stories you tell yourself about 'being visible'. Where did they come from? Are they really true?

3. Shift your identity. Instead of waiting to 'feel' confident, practise showing up as someone who has something worth saying. Confidence grows from action.

For the full conversation and more practical steps, listen to the latest episode of my podcast: 'The real reason smart women stay silent and how to break that pattern'.

Your voice matters. And it's time to use it.

Do you ever wonder why it feels scary to share your thoughts on LinkedIn? You’re smart, accomplished and have years of professional experience. Yet being seen for it publicly feels so stressful?

This isn’t because you lack the knowledge or information. It’s because your brain is doing its job.

In this week’s podcast + weekly guide, I broke down:
- Why your brain sees LinkedIn visibility as a threat
- 5 psychological patterns behind the fear of being seen
- Simple, low-stakes steps to make posting feel safer
- How to build your own “LinkedIn safety plan” as a corporate woman

If you prefer reading instead of listening, I send a short weekly guide that:
- Summarises the key points from each episode
- Gives you simple reflection prompts
- Helps you apply it to your own life and career

I used to think consistency meant posting every day, commenting for an hour, and being online 24/7, because that’s what the ‘experts’ say.

But I’m a working mom. I have a full-time job, two kids, a family to feed, and a brain that gets tired.

So if you’ve ever felt guilty for not showing up ‘enough’, this week’s podcast is for you: 
The Truth About Consistency No One Tells Working Moms

In this episode, I share:
- why consistency ≠ posting daily
- how to build a business in pockets of time (mornings, lunch hours, weekends)
- how to stop beating yourself up when life gets full

Listen here: https://lnkd.in/gzZbBrdX

A comment I made on Gary V's post generated >8k impressions. Who would've thought a simple response to a post I resonated with would do that?

Commenting is a powerful strategy to grow your business, especially for busy, side-hustling moms like me with a full-time job and family. 

On days I don't have time to post, I'll at least come here to leave a comment or 2. Not just for the sake of being seen, but to learn, engage, and build relationships. Every little bit counts. 

Next time you think you're 'behind' because you didn't post, just share a comment - it counts as content creation. And maybe you'll be surprised by how it takes off!

If you don't know how to comment, learn from Craig Davis. He breaks down simple commenting strategies. As a bonus, you'll also be uplifted by his positive and kind energy, words and insightful articles. 

P.S. What do you do regularly here? Post? Comment? Lurk?

Does this sound familiar: ‘I’ll start when I have more time.’ But time never magically appears. We make space in the life we already have. I started with 1 hour a day:
- writing
- posting
- showing up
Even when I feel scared.

But people don't need perfect from you. It's not relatable. They just want to know you're a real human.

If you’re a corporate woman who wants to start sharing your ideas or turning your experience into a business like a real person, my free course will help you take the very first step.

Start your business in 1 hour/day, even if you’re scared of being seen for all you flaws and imperfections. Because that's precisely the part that makes you magnetic and draw your people to you.

It’s not the algorithm, a lack of ideas, or because you're ‘not confident enough’ to post on LinkedIn. It’s because your brain is just doing its job to keep you safe from rejection, judgment, and social risk.

In this week’s podcast episode, I share the psychology behind the fear of being seen, especially for high-achieving corporate women and working moms.

Here’s what I covered:
- why LinkedIn visibility feels dangerous to your brain
- why you freeze the moment you’re about to publish
- the 5 psychological patterns behind your fear
- why LinkedIn feels riskier than Instagram
- how to work with your nervous system not against it
- simple micro-steps to start posting consistently

If you’ve ever written a post, edited it 10 times, imagined who might see it, and then closed the tab, this episode is for you.

Building a business on the side of a 9-5 while raising a family isn’t about doing more. It’s not about juggling harder, squeezing every minute, or waiting for more time and energy.

It’s about learning to hold opposing truths at the same time:
- I’m grateful for my job - and I want more.
- I feel overwhelmed - and I know I’m growing.
- I want it all - and I already have more than I once prayed for.

The real work is expanding your capacity to build the life you want without burning down the one you already have.

That’s why I created my free 5-day course. Not to add more to your to-do list but to show you how to build your coaching business in just 1 hour a day, with calm, clarity and structure.

- each lesson is under 3 minutes
- one simple action to move forward
- even when life feels like too much

Because when you learn to hold both ambition and gratitude, you create results without forcing, rushing, or burning out.
