I was testing the waters to see was there a market there? Was there actually a demand? Could I actually get paid to do this kind of work? I did a lot of market research. I did a lot of business courses. So I really upskilled myself while I was still working in the corporate world. I saved some money.

I didn't have a lot of money, but I knew I got to a point in October 2021 when I just couldn't do it anymore. I knew I could make it work. I had enough kind of social proof behind me. I had testimonials and things. And then I left at Christmas that year and I went full time in my business in January 2022. So it was a journey to get to that place.

And you can absolutely do it once you have a strategy. And the best thing I ever did was invest in coaches and mentors to support me. So I invested heavily, like I've invested, I think over the last couple of years, I'm afraid to even say the figure, but I've really upskilled myself in investing in mentorship, coaching and different courses. to get me where I want to be faster.

So I think if anyone is considering a career change, I think don't be afraid to invest in yourself. Smart people hire other people who are where they want to be to show them the fastest, easiest, quickest way to get there possible. Because if I can get a shortcut and I can pay somebody to do, that's what I'm all about. So that's my advice.

Great question. So I've invested heavily in different coaches and mentors, and each of my different coaches has taught me something different. When you want to undergo a coaching certification, you change. So I always say there's Lucy before coaching and there's Lucy after coaching. And the biggest thing I learned from my very first coaching course

was to love myself, was that I had a lot of limiting beliefs from childhood that were holding me back. My childhood conditioning was the reason that I didn't feel good enough, that I didn't feel smart enough. And I was able to learn tools to overcome that. I specialize in mindset work as well.

So a big part of what I do with my own clients is it's motivation, it's mindset, it's the confidence to actually take the action. Because without having, without my coaches, there's no way I'd be where I am today. They helped me, they gave me the encouragement, the motivation and the tools to move forward.

And then the other thing I did was I had my coaches and mentors, but I also joined like mastermind groups. and memberships so I've been in a number of different peer-cured groups of other female entrepreneurs who are either at my level in business or they're a little below me or they're earning multi-millions and through being in those communities it's been a game changer because

You're around like-minded people who really understand the challenges you're facing. There's always somebody in the group who has been in your shoes and can share their experience or their perspective as well. And that has been an absolute game changer.

Yeah, I agree with you. I think the word confidence is very overused. But for me, confidence is about having certainty in yourself and your ideas and being able to articulate that with a strong, positive energy to your audience. So I feel like that should be a quote that I take in this episode because that's literally it. It's about confidence comes from within.
