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

'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.

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. 

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

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

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 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. 

Click the link in the comments below or in my Featured section. We’ll look at your fears, your career, and your next step in a safe and sustainable way.

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

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

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!

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 hear this all the time from women who want to start a coaching business:

‘I’m still figuring out my offer.’
‘I’m overwhelmed from researching and planning.’
‘I’ve been spending hours on ChatGPT trying to get everything perfect.’

Here’s the truth no one wants to hear:
- You don’t build a business by thinking about it. You build it by talking to people.
- You don’t need the perfect offer - you need one real person to help.
- You don’t need a detailed brand strategy - you need to tell someone what you do.
- You don’t need more research - you need conversations.

Business isn’t created behind a laptop. It’s built in real-life moments - school runs, lunch breaks, chats with friends, LinkedIn posts you’re afraid to publish.

Your daily life isn’t a distraction from your business. It’s the data. It’s market research. It’s where your people are.

If you want clarity faster, start speaking sooner.

Want help doing that without spiraling into fear? That’s exactly what we do in the Power Hour. 

In 60 minutes, I’ll help you:
- Turn your ideas into a simple offer
- Figure out who to talk to and how
- Learn how to be visible without risking your job or your reputation

Because you don’t need more courses, you need courage + a clear first step.

Stuck in your head?

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.

Ready to break the silence? Listen to the full episode or message me if you want to talk through your own situation. Link to listen below.

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

Busy working moms like me build their side businesses with pockets of time throughout the day. If you're like me, you learn on-the-go. Which is why I have weekly guides to accompany my podcast episodes. 

Podcast + Guide = solidification and integration of lessons

It covers:
- Why your brain thinks LinkedIn = danger
- The 5 fear patterns that show up for corporate women
- Gentle, practical steps to make visibility feel safer
- Reflection questions you can use in your journal

I send this guide first to my email list before I post anything publicly.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Helping beginners navigate LinkedIn and stand out with proven tips and strategies | 10+ years on LinkedIn, known for writing "really good comments" that convert

When I started here, I knew it was a great place to build my professional reputation and maybe one day monetize my expertise. It made logical sense. But I was terrified to post. 

Instead of ‘just doing it’, I took many small steps. At first I was just lurking around and watching. 

Then I started commenting. I interviewed women entrepreneurs and shared what they were saying. Eventually I started posting my own ideas.

If you worry about what people might say about your posts, start small, in a way that feels safe for you. 

Ask:
- What feels unsafe about being visible?
- What am I afraid would happen?
- What’s the smallest step that feels doable?

It might be one comment a week, a post a month or something else. 

They are all enough to start building confidence and opportunities.

And they all move you forward. 

If you want a visibility plan that doesn’t jeopardize your job, with boundaries that protect your privacy and a rhythm to show up here that fits your energy as a working mom, I’d love to support you. 

Book a discovery call with me and let’s create something that feels safe, realistic, and helps you make steady progress.
