Louise Day

– Speech and Language Therapist

Louise was part of my Business Mentoring Programme. Here’s her experience.

Why did you choose to work with me and the Balance Programme?

I chose Balance because I wasn’t making a consistent income and was really worried about this, wondering if I’d have to find a job to pay the bills. I was lacking in confidence due to having inconsistent clients and dry months – it was a feast or famine. I’d tried business courses and groups but the changes didn’t always stick and I felt I was missing something.

I wanted 1:1 tailored support where someone could support me deeply with my business and goals. I was a previous client of Tricia’s so knew how she worked and felt at ease with her. I admired her business and wanted to learn from her and apply things to mine

What were you worried about?

I was a bit worried about how I might have to change in order to be successful and see results. I wasn’t sure if I could take big action.

How have you found the programme?

I’ve loved the programme. I loved the mix of business strategy, mentoring and mindset work. The sessions were frequent and long enough to go deeper into issues. It was amazing to have Telegram support throughout for any questions I had. I loved that it was focused on balance and not £10k months for example.

I wanted balance in my life and work and that’s what I got. Tricia is honest and authentic. I fully trust her and she doesn’t use a cookie cutter approach – it was very tailored to my business.

What impact has the programme had on your life?

A huge impact. I started getting new clients within a few weeks! It was incredible. I have a clear business strategy and an amazing offer that meets my client’s needs. I refined my messaging so ideal clients can relate to my service. I have recurring monthly income, which has made me feel safer financially. I feel confident selling – before it felt icky and uncomfortable.

I take more time for myself to rest and recharge. I’ve tackled imposter syndrome and am owning my expertise. I have taken serious action and stopped procrastinating, which has resulted in an increase in clients and developing a new part of my business. I feel so proud of my achievements. I’ve had Tricia cheering me on and celebrating me the whole time.

What helped you the most?

Setting realistic goals and working on them over the six months. Six months is a really good time frame to achieve results.

What was your biggest success?

Selling 5 slots on my signature programme.

What have others noticed about you?

People have commented on my signature programme and how well I’m doing. They compliment my social media and how active I am.

My self employed friends have been wowed by my knowledge – Tricia has taught me so many little nuggets and tips which have been really effective along the way.

How did you find working with me?

I really enjoyed it. I wanted a realistic programme that helped me get where I wanted to be without stress and overworking. It was the perfect pace for me. I didn’t feel burnt out or overwhelmed. I had that constant support and reassurance. I really enjoyed the Belief Coding work to help with imposter syndrome.

I just love the way you integrate all your experience and training to support in a really tailored way. I couldn’t have done the last six months without you. Support is so key in business. You’re fun to work with, so relatable and it’s been a highlight of my fortnight. I’m going to miss our sessions and will be returning for more ongoing support.

Would you recommend the programme?

Absolutely 100%! It’s perfect for so many mental health therapists out there as we often go through similar challenges. I think it really helped that Tricia is a therapist herself because she understands the client journey and many intricacies involved in this area.
