Hiring a business coach can feel scary, liberating, exciting, expansive and so much more. It can come with a bit of a pricetag because you're literally paying for not only someone's time, but their wealth of experience, knowledge, expertise - and you're bypassing many potential mistakes and hurdles.   But how do you *know* you're ready? Are you ever ready? Should you have been in business for a certain time period? What are the signs? I cover ALL of this in today's episode. I felt inspired to record this episode because literally the day I recorded this, I myself started with MY new business coach! So I thought it would be really fun and appropriate to have the conversation all about how to know you're 'ready'.

If you're nosey like me, you love getting an insight into other people's lives and businesses! I personally find it so interesting hearing about other people's highs and lows, and their reflections from the year. In this episode I share about some of my wins, as well as some losses (aka goals I did NOT hit!). It was fun to zoom out and reflect on everything that did - and didn't - happen this year. My hope for this episode is that it provides a little insight - and maybe even some inspiration - as you reflect on your year and look ahead to 2022. ✨ JOIN THE THE 2022 PLANNING WORKSHOP ✨ SHOWNOTES: https://sarahluthy.com/episode31 IG: https://www.instagram.com/sarahluthy/ GET COACHING: https://sarahluthy.com/services JOIN MY VIP EMAIL LIST: https://sarahluthy.com/vip

It goes without saying that we are in a really interesting time in the world... And the wedding industry has been *really* impacted by the virus due to lockdowns and government restrictions, and all-round facing postponements, refund requests, anxious couples, cancellations, changes of bookings... I know it's hard, because I also run a business in the wedding industry! In this episode I discuss how you can thrive in this season - and not just survive.

When it comes to streamlining your business so you can do less and live more, there are certainly strategic and tactical things you can do like bringing in support, setting up great systems, creating a great schedule and employing some time management tools. But those things will only take you so far because the *real secret* to creating time and space for what matters most actually happens by learning how to do less - and that requires you to change how you operate in your business. In this episode I interview small business mentor and coach, Ashley Gartland, as she shares how business owners and online entrepreneurs can simplify and streamline their business so they can scale sustainably and build a business that makes the life they desire possible.
