We ask the tough questions
You’ve got a free half hour during your work day. What do you do?
Sit on my balcony and reflect on what a beautiful world we live in.
When meeting someone, would you rather they thought you were charming or mysterious?
Mysterious, that way the person would be curious to ask questions about me rather than assume that I am type “A” or “B”. It is okay to just be yourself and sometimes doing things differently is a good thing.
What's the best bit of feedback you've ever had?
I helped one of my clients, who actually came from Flying Solo, to remove her resistance to attracting business and new clients. She provided the following feedback: "Before I met Reeny, I never thought much about the 'Why' and now I do it has really propelled me forward."
What’s the smartest bit of marketing you’ve ever done?
Sending out personalised postcards / letters to my niche market. There is something about getting a letter in the mail that makes people feel special.
What’s the one resource you’d never be without?
My own business coach and mentor.
What’s the most enjoyable element of your work? And the least enjoyable?
The most enjoyable part of my work is seeing my clients break through blocks and barriers that are limiting their success. The least enjoyable is the late nights.
What’s the best thing about being a soloist? And the worst thing?
The best thing is being responsible for my outcomes. The worst thing is the back end work to support my business.
What’s the best piece of business advice you’ve ever been given?
To know what I want, and be clear on my target market.
What would be your advice to aspiring soloists?
To follow your heart (intuition) as this is always the best guide; if it doesn’t feel right then don’t do it. The results will reflect the intention given to the action.
What inspires you most about your work?
Watching my clients grow through challenges that stifle them personally and professionally. I love seeing them build their passion into a business that they love and enjoy everyday. Magic happens when my clients are congruent with their message and gifts they bring to the world.
If you could pick anyone to be your personal assistant, who would it be and why?
Miss Lemon in Hercule Poirot. She is the complete opposite to me, so organised and detailed - something I am definitely not. This would bring a great balance to my business. A mentor once told me that to build a good business you should always hire those who complement your areas of weakness.
How did your school report describe you (in three words)?
Fun, spontaneous, free spirited.
And now comes the plug!
What do you do? Who for? And how does it benefit them?
My business is about “Connecting Heart and Business”. I help my clients align their purpose and mindset so they can attract the right clients, income and lifestyle.
I work with transformational entrepreneurs – those who have a passion for business and went into it for the love of what they do, but are not necessarily earning the income they want. It has been my experience that working from the inside out to create a business that is sustainable and profitable is always the first step.
Of course, we a need business plan and other organisational templates. It is about having the 'Can do' attitude that is congruent with who and what we are that becomes a fuller expression through your work.
