And as an entrepreneur or business owner, the buck stops with YOU- Which is why you need to be operating at your best. Coaching can make the difference between failure and success in those crucial early years.

Up and coming jewellery designer Sonia Shakerley (Kaiyama.etsy.com) chose a course of coaching with Smart tools for life to help her develop her fledgling business. “Making jewellery is easy for me, but knowing how to run a business and having a clear vision of how to achieve that has been the hard part. Coaching was really invaluable, it helped me to create a clear plan as well as overcoming my fears and procrastination around making it happen. I learnt how to prioritise, and it also helped me develop my range of skills, like setting up my website, pricing and marketing. Now I have sorted out how to run my business effectively I can spend more time on what I love, designing my next collection”
