An expert business owner once gave me the best advice I had ever heard. Don’t start a business unless you have 200 reasons for starting it. Not just 200 reasons for the sake of things. But 200 reasons as to how your business can serve and over-deliver to others. So when I started my Life coaching business. I sat down and wrote in a book 200 reasons as to how my business can serve others on an exponentially high level.


It wasn’t about me...it was all about the clients permanent highly developed transformation. When I got to 100 I was literally crying. I thought this was going to be easy. Think again!

I then use these 200 reasons as the foundation of my advertising. As a start up business not all of us can afford to have a marketing director. So on the days that I felt to exhausted to create an advert. Or social media post. I fell back on one of my 200 reasons and posted around its core.
