New site, who dis?
Hey, I’m Sara!
I regularly hear from people who have big (or small) dreams to do something they're passionate about. They would love to leave their job or just carve out some space in their week to spend time doing something they love.
It's so inspiring to hear these ideas but also upsetting to see so many people not going for it. It doesn't have to be a huge leap... Everyone is familiar with the term side hustle, right?!
There are lots of less-scary steps you can take to start adding more value into your life and maybe even earn a few more pennies on the side.
And this is coming from someone who has very much been there and done that... It took me years until my first dream was a viable business for me to do full time and even then it was a terrifying jump (and when it wasn’t such a sweet year I went back to other jobs too).
Now, I run two successful businesses, and co-own an award winning wellness brand with my awesome partner in crime. If you’d told 24-year-old-me that quitting the job that made me miserable, moving in with my bestie and only earning £20 a week from dance was one day going to put me here… I would most likely have told you to f*** off. I wasn’t the most refined back then, or now for that matter.
So I get that it's scary. I get that it feels like you don't have time. I get that it seems like too much.
If you want it enough. You can make it happen.
Something I LOVE to do alongside my other projects is help businesses and startups in that initial phase. You know when everything seems like... WTAF?! That's my jam. I like branding, tone of voice, website design, creating a personality on social media, new systems, email marketing, all that jazz.
It literally fills me with joy.
If you’re a small business owner and you want to be able to spend more time doing the thing you love instead of getting a stress headache about what to post on Instagram or which images to put on your website… GET. IN. TOUCH.
I’m your new best mate.
Why ‘withtheflow’?
Have you ever heard of flow state?
It's the feeling you experience when you are so fully immersed in an activity that everything around you melts away. Distractions that would normally drive you crazy are suddenly non-existent, or just a welcome addition to the rumbling of energy around you. It's when ideas are simply pouring out of you without you giving it any thought, you're not consciously driving the ----, it just flows.
This is flow state.
And I would imagine, fellow entrepreneur, that you've experienced this when you're right in the depths of your chosen passion. For me it's creating and writing (I'm in a flow state right now as I write this), for some people it's working with numbers (??), for others it's measuring and building.
Whatever it is for you, it's your calling.
It's something that comes so easily to you that you feel an urge to do it. All. The. Time.
And that's why I want you to Grow with the flow. Building a successful business is hard work, no matter what the Instagram ads and influencers say, it's tough at times. Really tough.
But ensuring that you are working on something that brings you the feeling of flow state, you massively lighten the load.
Hence why so many of us idiots decide to leave the safety of a stable job to pursue a potential career with no guarantees...
