Days can pass by in a blur and leave us feeling; "What did I DO today?" yet we haven't had a moment to ourselves... It can leave us feeling feeling busy but unproductive. 😴

I tend to refer to a very basic time-tracking exercise to help reclaim control.
"Awareness is the greatest agent for change..."

✍️ Tempted to get started too?

1. Set Up a Tracker
 Use a notebook or a simple spreadsheet with days down the side and hours or categories across the top. Don't overthink it or this is where you will already lose way too much time!

2. Define Categories
 Group your activities (e.g., Admin, Marketing, Family, Leisure) and assign each a color.

3. Estimate and Track 
 First, create a rough pie chart of where you *think* your time goes. Then, log daily activities without overthinking—just build the habit.

4. Review Your Month
 Tally up your time, create a final pie chart, and compare it with your initial guess. Does it align with your goals?

👀 This simple exercise offers insight into where your time truly g...

 Money. As entrepreneurs, it’s something we all wrestle with.

Whether it’s pricing, undervaluing ourselves, doing too much for free, or simply *avoiding* those sales conversations altogether. Sound familiar?

The truth is, many of us are sitting on a minefield when it comes to money mindset. But guess what? Chipping away at these limiting beliefs can be liberating. I've found that working on my own mindset has not only boosted my confidence but also helped me run my business more effectively. And yep, it's an ongoing journey!

If you're ready to dig into your own money mindset and start making some shifts, I’ve rounded up some resources that might just be the game-changer you need:

Shocked then so grateful...

I finally got round to doing my recap numbers for 2024 and as I tallied up the registrations to the various events I held over the year it sunk in slowly that last year was truly a magical year.


🤯 Over 30 events held

🤯 Close to 200 participants attending

For me, these numbers are big.

I hadn't realised at all that there were so many of us, already active in my little community as was simply more aware of who is a member. 

"Look at the bigger picture to get clearer overview" The ever practical and smart Pauliina Rasi said. 
And I'm so grateful she did because I would likely not have done this anytime soon without her encouragement.

I really took a leap of faith at the start of the year because I felt the urge to bring people closer together and share our experiences and knowledge so we can grow and thrive in a much smarter way as a group, vs everyone struggling to do it ALL on their own.

It really is a simple idea: create a space for entrepreneurs to grow,...

At the workshop held by Masha Dalanay we dove into the topic!

As a group we were eager to dive into the topic and gain clarity on how to make more targeted business decisions. 

We brought our laptops to work on our own numbers in real time and left with some great insights:

Understanding Your Margins
We explored which services or products deliver the best margins, helping participants identify their most profitable offerings. Breaking down offerings revealed hidden costs and clarified profitability, sparking some nice clarity for the goals of the year!

Break even points
The break even point sounds simple enough theoretically. But when it comes to evaluating it per service, how to split your total and variable costs across the different services... For example do you split it by the revenue % the service brings in or by the time they take you? As everything, it all depends, but well worth having a think about it for your own business structure as we develop (or rethink) that new se...

That happened to me recently, and it didn't feel great to say the least.

I had mixed up a few details for one of the workshops due to a change we made to it initially, with plenty of time. But the chain of actions I needed to put in place to reflect the changes were not done well. I went too fast... 🙄

As a result, both the location was not correct for some people and there was a mix up in the timing causing some confusion as we got started.

It was not the end of the world, and the workshop went well thanks to our fantastic facilitator, but it had me feeling very silly, embarrassed and angry at myself.

The thing is.... we all drop a ball at one point in time don't we?
Much as we try to stay on top of everything, it can happen. At least that's what I would tell someone. 
And if we never want to fail, we might as well do nothing at all to avoid the risk...

So why is it hard to apply that for myself?

I don't have an answer but I did think it was interesting to simply share the experience for...

🖌️ My first prompt was: "Chat GPT - Draw an image of my life, based on what you know about me..."

❓ Then I asked: "Explain what the reasoning behind the different elements represented in the picture"

Here is what it came up with:

1. **Home Office with a View**: 
This represents your entrepreneurial work-life balance. The large windows overlooking the Swiss countryside, complete with horses, highlight your love of nature and horseback riding while reflecting your location in Nyon, Switzerland.

2. **Organized Desk**: 
The laptop, workshop tools, and sticky notes symbolize your role as a facilitator and career strategist. It reflects your organized and creative mindset, constantly juggling ideas and strategies.

3. **Improv Stage Area**: 
This small setup, with props and a spotlight, captures your passion for improv. It shows how creativity and spontaneity play a role in your hobbies and possibly even in your professional approach.

4. **Framed Photos of Mastermind Meetings**: 
These represent the st...

We have recently started introducing challenges for our Tuesday coworking mornings.

At our Tuesday coworking mornings, we’ve introduced a game-changing twist: shared challenges.

It all started when one member declared she’d dedicate the session to tackling her backlog of follow-ups.

As it turned out, she wasn’t alone in feeling overwhelmed by the mounting tasks. Inspired by her initiative, we embraced the idea of challenges as a way to foster focus and productivity.

Here’s how it works: We chose a focus for the morning and communicate it to our members. Be it clearing emails, planning a project, or brainstorming ideas.
The collective energy of the group, paired with a shared sense of purpose, creates an atmosphere of accountability and motivation.
It's of course also possible to come along and work on something unrelated!

Shared challenges help us tackle tasks we’ve been procrastinating on but also reduce the sense of isolation that often comes with running a business. Knowing others ...
