“Finding Louise was the best thing I ever did from a business perspective.”
“Finding Louise was the best thing I ever did from a business perspective. I knew I needed help with my marketing, websites and social media. Whether I liked it or not life had moved on with technology being an integral part of business success. What Louise did was help me focus on what I was passionate about. She helped me recognize that being good did not automatically translate into financial rewards. Her assistance in generating a passive revenue stream was illuminating and has been rewarding too.
Louise helped me understand how social media and websites work while ensuring I am in control of the process guiding me as necessary. Louise is knowledgeable, supportive and not afraid to push back when she needs to in my best interests. I would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone who, like me, has a great offering but needs coaching through what often feels like a technological mystery of 25th century proportions.”

“I can recommend Louise wholeheartedly for anyone looking to find their way forward through the business maze.”
“After many years in business, even the most experienced of us can go off track. Earlier this year, there were so many projects on the go in my business that I felt as if my head was spinning. I needed clarity and I needed to regain my focus. I wanted to time away for a few hours and speak to someone with a completely objective perspective. I had come across Louise on Twitter and reading her website and newsletter, knew her to be highly professional and knowledgeable, so I got in touch.
After a only a few sessions things started to come back into focus. Louise helped me to clear the mental clutter, decide on my business priorities and clarify once more, our most profitable work areas. In other words, where I should be putting my precious time and effort.
It was very helpful to be able to bounce ideas around and have them calmly, but firmly, fed back to me with an experienced outsider’s clear perspective. I’m a creative person (with a tendency to be a bit Tigger-like at times!), so that clarity was particularly welcome. Since our sessions, if I wander off track, I can hear Louise’s voice in my head, saying: ‘Is this really the best use of your time?’.
It was so refreshing and valuable to be able to step back from things and discuss my way forward with someone who had my best interests — and the best interests of my business — in mind.
I can recommend Louise wholeheartedly for anyone looking to find their way forward through the business maze. She’s a great business guide. ”

“I found Louise to be very focussed in terms of what is going to get results for me and my business”
“Before our call, I was confused about how to make the message on my website clearer so that more people signed up to the newsletter. I had a long list of extra topics including how to use social media like Facebook and getting Teleclasses to work.
Louise is really knowledgeable about the whole area of marketing on the internet and incredibly generous in sharing the resources she uses. I also found her to be very focussed in terms of what is going to get results for me and my business, she even emailed over reminders of everything we discussed! I now have a much clearer idea of what I need to do to promote my business.”

“Louise gave me lots of suggestions and new resources”
“I’m no stranger to marketing my business both on and offline, but approached Louise because I needed a fresh approach. A few days before our call, I sent over my (rather ambitious) list of questions so we didn’t waste any time on the day.
Louise gave me lots of suggestions and new resources to try and followed up the call with an email confirming all the points. I feel I’ve got the clarity I wanted and now know the direction I need to go in to market my business better.”

“Instead of running for the hills in fear, my business is finally growing”
” Louise has worked with me to define my business, refocus on what was important, and recognize my self-defeating behaviours that have hindered my growth personally and professionally. Nothing was left untouched! In the past when I started to grow the process became overwhelming. Louise helped me break it down into bits and pieces that were easy to digest and adapt to. Instead of running for the hills in fear, my business is finally growing and I’m handling it all like a skilled circus juggling act.
We still have more work to do, but words cannot express how grateful I am for what Louise has shown me about myself and my business. I have a clarity and sense of direction about my company that I have never had before – and incredibly, I now have time for myself! So, I’m really doing more with less time!”
-Debbie Mahler, Founder & CEO, Internet Tech Specialists
“I would recommend anyone thinking of using the internet to market their business to have a chat with Louise first”
“My sixty minute strategy call with Louise focused on email newsletters, ways of attracting more visitors to my website and how to increase sign ups for the newsletter.
Louise came up with several new online marketing ideas for me to try. She also helped me to understand what my webstat reports were telling me about my site. This was definitely an hour well spent!
I would recommend anyone thinking of using emails or the internet to market their business to have a chat with Louise first because of the extensive knowledge she has on the subject and the many resources she is able to suggest.”

“I was delighted with the outcome and so were my customers”
“I needed a way to regularly communicate with customers on the services we provide, so that when they were deciding to buy they would be fully aware of what we had to offer. I knew I wanted some sort of electronic communication, but did not know What or How to do it, and of course, it had to be cost effective
I was delighted with the outcome and so were my customers (one of them described it as fabulous!).
I found Louise very professional and a pleasure to work with; she guided me when I needed it but also aimed to build my own skill set, so that I could do as much as possible myself. She was always very attentive to ensuring that she was offering me value for money and she certainly did that, 100%”

“Thanks Louise, I owe you one”
“I hooked up with Louise and, as you do, told her what my business plan was going to involve. She listened patiently and then gave me an idea, which ought to have been obvious, but which I had completely overlooked. Thanks, Louise. I owe you one.”
-Graham Freer, Proprietor, The Audio Brochure Company
“With your help I was able to focus, self examine and discover how to see the wood from the trees”
“Like many small business owners, I found that I had to work much longer hours just to maintain the business at previous levels. I was pursuing all sorts of ideas and really didn’t know how to select one from the other. It was exhausting.
With your help I was able to focus, self examine and discover how to see the wood from the trees, how to set and put personal and family goals first, rather than being a slave to work and devoting my left-over time to the family. My horizons are now much broader but the new business model is so much simpler!”

“Louise has coached me on many areas over the past five months. Some of our most important work has been to do with the setting-up of my new office and the efficient and effective running of my business. It has been invaluable to be able to take ‘time out’ of the usual run of things, to take a step back with the support of a good coach, to pay attention to the detail and yet retain the overview. The regular weekly sessions certainly paid off.” (Lee Parkin, Financial Advisor)

“I can’t quite put into words the mixed-up situation I was in when I began the coaching sessions. Your help on time management was essential to even begin thinking of implementing changes. Your support for the decisions I have taken in the time we have worked together has been very helpful. I really couldn’t have done what I have done or come this far in a relatively short period of time, without your guidance.” (JD, Director)
