You’ve been thinking about it for a while. Maybe it’s a quiet whisper at the back of your mind… or maybe it’s getting louder every day. “Could I start something of my own?”

If you’re feeling the urge to start a business, you’re not alone. More and more women are choosing to pivot, pursue passion projects, and create new income streams on their terms.

But before you take the leap, there are a few things I want you to know.

Firstly, you do not need to have it all figured out. So many women wait for the “perfect time” or the “perfect idea.” But the truth is, clarity comes from action, not just thinking.

You don’t need a business plan the size of a novel. You need a solid starting point, a clear sense of who you want to serve, and a willingness to learn as you go.

Midlife women bring a wealth of wisdom, resilience, and resourcefulness to the table. You know how to solve problems, make decisions, and navigate complexity. And the good news is, these are superpowers in business.

Don’t discount what you already know. Instead, ask yourself  “How can I turn my strengths and experiences into something that serves others?

Before you worry about building a website or starting a social media account, focus on building the foundations of your business.

That means:

• Clarifying your why and vision
  
• Identifying your ideal client
  
• Creating a simple offer that solves a real problem
  
• Understanding your pricing, costs, and goals

These basics are the groundwork that will support your business as it grows.

Starting a business can feel overwhelming, especially when you're trying to do it around work, family, and everything else on your plate.

That’s why I support midlife women with coaching that simplifies the process. I guide you step-by-step, from defining your idea to launching with confidence. Whether you're just starting out or you’ve already begun and need clarity, structure, and support, I’m here to help you build something sustainable and fulfilling.

You just need the right support, a clear plan, and the courage to begin.

Your second act is waiting, and it’s going to be incredible!
