Where I was: Everything felt so scattered and converting clients felt really hard. It really was starting to feel like a passion project instead of a business
Where I am: I've had 3 sign ups to my new Signature Programme, The Liberated Mama™, within 2 months of "launching". I've also had more corporate workshop work and more purchases of my 90-minute Matrescence sessions which I have no doubt is down to my sharper messaging and content as a result of the work I've done in Fruitful Founder™.
Before joining Fruitful Founder™…
No niche, no marketing, no clue what I was doing. I had stumbled across my clients running free workshops for my diploma and then had a few more clients from referrals. I had a coaching programme that I followed that felt very scripted and rigid and I was worried about going off script. Clients signed up for about 15-18 hour programme which was valued at £600.
I just felt clueless and so under-confident. I knew I wanted to make my business work but I had no idea how I was going to make it happen or where to start. I felt the pressure of a deadline of 2 years to make it work otherwise I would need to reconsider whether I needed to go back to employed life.
My hesitations were…
I was just worried about whether it would work, and whether I could get the same results as others.
What made me say YES…
I felt like you were selling everything I needed… no clue where to start to sell coaching, I need d clarity and confidence in myself and I loved that you made it clear I needed to be more ME in my business
My biggest takeaway from the programme…
2 clients from all the strategies that you provided, paying more than double what previous clients were paying and working with me for longer. I have got my ROI with just 2 clients! Considering I spend approximately 10 hours a week including clients delivery on my business this feels like a massive achievement to have formed connections, ran free events which have the led to working with the right people. I have a clear feeling in my gut when I meet people who are my ideal clients and those were the people who signed up! I now have an active instagram account, run a podcast, run free events, have an email list and feel 1 million more times confident that I can speak to the people that I want to work with and bring them into my world.
The BEST thing about working together…
That I felt supported, and truly encouraged to just be me, and that not only was this valued but it was encouraged and celebrated.
After working with Sarah…
I feel calmer, more confident and feel like I know what I need to do to keep building my business. I still have alot of foundational work to put into my business and to get an ecosystem where I know I can bring clients in at predictable times, but I feel like now I know how to do it I just need to keep building and taking the right action. With all of the repeatable steps I know I can reach my second BIG goal of 5 clients in one year, and then to 10 clients.
I have met some great people, and speak to Heather often and Sam too! I feel like I have a network of people who are also supporting me
What I’m looking forward to next…
Just seeing what happens next. Over this last year I achieved things I couldn’t have dreamt of, so I’m just looking forward to keep taking action and seeing where it takes me!
I’d recommend Fruitful Founder™️ to…
Any coach who doesn't just want to rely on tactics and trends to get people in the door but genuinely wants to create something that they feel is a true reflection of themselves.
The most important thing you should know about working with Sarah is…
Be ready to be challenged (in a good way) learn some new perspectives and if you’re willing to put in the work you will without doubt get great results. I would recommend Sarah to someone who is genuine, caring and loves what they do… but don’t know how to make their dreams a reality. Just a BIG thank you so much, I have learned so much through fruitful founder and everything makes so much sense! I feel like I have been able to cut out all of the outside noise that would have fuelled doubts and insecurities and I know I have been on the right path and have felt very confident and secure that this is the right programme for me.

It [Fruitful Founder] is the best thing I've invested in. Hands down. It's been incredible. Everything about it from the confidence I've gained to properly lean into my business and believe it can happen to the skills I've learned, to the community. It's just not the same as any other business coaching courses.

I was doing live workshops before and I wasn't getting any leads or enquiries. You gave us a structure for a workshop, so I followed that structure and got a client. And the next time I did it I got 3 enquiries.

Sarah is inspirational, motivational and absolutely knows her stuff. She helped me set up my business and leave my corporate career. Would 100% recommend investing in yourself and Sarah.

You encouraged me to be myself, and then be even more myself. As a marketer, I’ve learnt so much about marketing since working with you. It was a sore spot for me as I felt I should know how to do it, but it's hard to market yourself.

I've done quite a few business coaching courses and this is the thing that's actually worked. I was going through a bit of a drought and have had a really good flurry of enquiries since joining Fruitful Founder. I've seen a really big change.

A lot of the internal noise, doubt and fear has dissipated. I've got a blueprint. I've got a strategy. I've got a heartbeat. It works. I've done things in the past that haven't had the same result.

I realised that I DO have something valuable to offer the world. I rediscovered who I am, I rediscovered my self-confidence, and I rediscovered my spark. I feel calmer about my personal and business life after the coaching. I feel like I have a clearer direction.
