Helping ambitious women in technology fully unlock their leadership potential

9th March 2016

How not to feel isolated running your own business

When you run your own business, it’s easy to feel isolated. Particularly if you run that business from home and even if talk to clients on the phone or face-to-face or you run workshops, effectively you are ON YOUR OWN.

Which means that there’s no-one there to second guess your decisions, your plans, your ideas … often you start to doubt yourself. Interestingly today I talked about the power and confidence that you get when you belong to a group of women. It seems to be a theme for me today as I’m contemplating my next business mastermind.

As I’m on my own, and a client cancelled at the last minute, I thought I’d take 5 minutes (which of course turned into 55 minutes) to experiment with video. I’d love to know your thoughts.

Leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Watching myself on video is a bit odd. The lighting’s not great, and I couldn’t find my microphone so I used my headset microphone instead (but I guess that’s how I spend most of my day on Skype conversations, so this really is the real me).
