If You Want Independence and Freedom of Choice, It Begins With YOU...
Success isn't necessarily about 10 X-ing your business or changing the world, although it can be.
It's about knowing what kind of life you want and being clear on how you want to show up in the world...
Then creating a business that gives you the independence and freedom of choice to create YOUR version of success, not someone else's.
When you know where it is you want to go and why, only then can you confidently move towards and evolve into that.
Ditch the experts who try to make your life and business fit their solution...
For too long we've been sold the myth that we just need the latest, hot tactics along with hard work to be a success.
The truth is, that's just a shortcut to overwhelm, struggle and broke. A path that leads to the survival trap - a never ending cycle of constantly changing tactics that you can't make work for you and that quickly become outdated.
Tired Of The Relentless Grind?
It's time to stop sucking up the relentless grind and escape the endless list of things to do that never gets shorter because there's always something new that needs your attention.
Want A Successful and Profitable Business of One?
It's been said that problems in business are personal problems in disguise. It doesn't matter how good your strategy or tactics are, if YOU are not showing up effectively.
It doesn't matter how well you perform if you are heading in the wrong direction, you're just going to get further away from where you want to be more quickly.
Instead, change the way you think about life and business, and you will discover that the Fundamental Principles always serve you and guide you in creating the right path for you.
The Forge & Flourish Approach
If you want to create an independent income, that gives you freedom of choice, without getting stuck in the never-ending cycle of hustle and grind that gets you nowhere fast...
It's time to get clear on the exact steps for YOU to create a successful, sustainable business and life.
it all starts here
The Fundamentals
Become The Person You Need To Be
It doesn't matter how good your strategy is, if your mind is constantly sabotaging your performance and happiness. By strengthening the part of your brain that serves you and quieting the part that sabotages you, you'll handle the challenges of life and business more effectively and with less stress and overwhelm.
The Right Strategy
Your strategy is your roadmap. You start by defining where you want to go, your North Star, and then a roadmap designed around you, your business and your resources (time, strengths, finances etc) so that you create a life and business that energises you.
Focused Action
When you have your roadmap, it's time for focused action that takes you towards the business & life you want to create. Always be working on the most important thing that your business needs, not the first thing that brings a sense of relief or movement. Focus on the 20% that gets you 80% of your results.
A Few Things I've Learned
Over the years I've worked with creatives just getting started through to multiple high 6-figure businesses. It's taught me a lot...
Everybody, every business is different
What works for one person or business doesn't necessarily work for another - there are a whole range of factors to consider when planning the best approach to grow your business.
The fundamental principles are the same
Whether you are running a multiple 6-figure business or on your way to your first 50k, the fundamental principles of business remain the same.
What got you here won't get you there
To grow your business, need to grow and evolve your strategies and tactics.
Consistency & focus will reward you
It's better to take consistent and focused action over sporadic leaps. Ultimately, what you get out is a reflection of what you put in.
Who is this for?
People who want to create an independent income that gives the freedom of choice to live life on your own terms whilst making a difference through the ripple effect.

Working with Louise has been a breath of fresh air. Before, I didn't feel I had any direction in my business. Now I have so much more clarity over what I am doing. I haven't done a single exercise where I’ve thought “I don’t get the point of this”. SO MUCH VALUE.
