QUICK, QUICK, EXCITING NEWS!!! 👀👀 Due to client holidays and a couple of calendar changes, I'm able to open up JUST 5 spots for one off coaching sessions in August. 🔥🔥These always sell out FAST so act immediately. This is the last time I will offer one off sessions EVER.🔥🔥 Whether you want to try out working 1:1 with me for the first time, or are a past client in need of a business and mindset power up, jump on it! I do POWERFUL work that delivers results (£30k contracts, sold out programs, first high ticket client sales, $7,000 full pays, $4,000 increase in sales off the back of one deep dive session with me, and that's just the cash results!) It hits the spots the other coaches can't reach. And I always over deliver 💥✨👑💋💰❤️ Your session. Your agenda. Your best coaching session ever! Fact. The Details: 1:1 Coaching Session Duration - 70 mins. Session must be taken on Monday 21st, Tuesday 22nd or Tuesday 29th August. Click the link in my bio to buy. Once payment is received I will send a link within 24hrs for you to book your session. Vanessa x ARE YOU BEAUTIFUL BUT BROKE? Being pretty isn't enough. If you want to break through in your coaching business, if you want to really truly reach people, if you want to generate results - you need to be deeply connected to your soul too. You need to be reunited with your intuition. When I worked in PR, pretty was currency. Pretty could get you promotions, clients and media coverage. Pretty = results. Coaching requires something else entirely. It requires energetic resonance, it requires relentless commitment to the truth, it requires the perfect balance between your divine masculine and divine feminine sides. Maybe you've been led to believe that the pretty website, the pretty photo shoot and the pretty logo are all you need to put in place. The prettier it all looks the more likely the clients are to roll in. And maybe that works for some people. But there are many more coaches out there who are struggling behind those polished smiles and colour coordinated branding. Many more who are beautiful but broke. I've spoken to them. And when they come to me, they are tired and confused. They don't understand why they can't make the magic that they used to in their old corporate jobs, or promotional work. They've grown detached from their depth, intelligence and truth. It's my job to activate them, to facilitate the paradigm shifts that create quantum leaps in their personal and professional lives. To free them from the expectations, pressures and gilded cages they've trapped themselves in. To empower them to walk around fearlessly and without even the slightest concern for what ANYONE else thinks of them. If you're done keeping up appearances and are ready for a life and business that is fulfilling and PROFITABLE, you know where to find me. (Link in my bio) Vanessa - Mindset & Business Coach. Intuitive. Cash Catalyst. So, you had the breakthrough. ❤️ But what did YOU DO next?🤔 Breakthroughs are a hugely important part of any kind of coaching. They are invaluable (and essential) results in and of themselves. And all coaches worth their salt must facilitate those. HOWEVER, it's what comes AFTER the breakthroughs that determines what flows in to your life from there. Feeling all the feels alone won't cut it. 🤔You had a breakthrough about feeling unloveable - but did you take the next step and get yourself back on the dating scene? 🤔You had a breakthrough about how transformational your work is - but did you go get those testimonials, put out the offers, start growing your network so you could reach more people? 🤔You had a breakthrough about why you feel you don't deserve to get paid - but did you revolutionise your approach to sales calls and increase your prices? Did you take the fast action required before the old habit of waiting and wallowing crept back in or did you succumb to your usual patterns? I know from my own and my clients experiences, the specific results you crave (better relationships, sex, cash, clients, body etc) ONLY come from making a change, taking allllll the action. Let me say that again... 👉🏻New results require change and change requires a new kind of action.👈🏻 The longer you wait, worry, procrastinate = the more likely your conscious mind will talk you out of doing what you intuitively know you need to do = totally WASTED breakthrough.😩 Don't do that. Your life, your happiness, your bank balance all need you to stop fucking around. 🔥💋 My work WORKS if you work. 💃🏻🍾 Vanessa - Mindset & Business Coach. Intuitive Rebel. Cash Catalyst. Love me some client love notes 💌 Want to come and get to know me better? Search my FB Group Rebel Women Rise over on Facebook. Wanna get drunk with me?🍾 Waaaiiit! ✋🏻Hold the rum and cocktails. That's not what I mean (though anyone who knows me knows I can handle a cocktail or three🍹🍹🍹). I mean, let's get drunk on OURSELVES. Even those who don't drink should do this. Daily. >>> If you want to power up your business juices you're going to want to get yourself really revved up, excited and completely uninhibited about how absolutely BAD ASS you are. You're going to want to get drunk on your own success, creativity and personal power. You know how when you're drunk you; 💃🏻Speak louder 💃🏻Giggle and laugh 💃🏻Cry at how much you love everything and everyone 💃🏻Show off a bit (maybe even dance on a table) 💃🏻Let your inhibitions go 💃🏻Dance provocatively 💃🏻Chat up the potential lover you'd never normally be brave enough to approach 💃🏻Make new friends 💃🏻Hug, hold and touch people Well how about you do that for yourself? 🍸How about you speak up for yourself more? 🍸How about you giggle and laugh and get all giddy about how amazing you are? 🍸How about you get emotional at how much you love YOU? 🍸How about you show off more? Paint, sing, write, create, whatever - then share it with others just because. 🍸How about you let all of those inhibitions go and just PLAY wildly and without rules? 🍸How about you put on your favourite music and swing, sway, gyrate, gesticulate your way through every beat without giving a damn about anything or anyone else? 🍸How about you chat up that potential lover, reach out to that dream client you'd love to work with but never dared approach? 🍸How about you become the best friend you ever had? 🍸How about you hold, hug and touch yourself with absolute love, adoration and tenderness? Now, rack 'em up ladies. Let's go get drunk.🍸✨ Vanessa - Mindset & Business Coach. Intuitive Rebel. Cash Catalyst. 💋 It's time to play your hand... If you are (or intend to be) the BEST of the BEST you need to get your ass to London on Monday 25th September for my 'Rebel Woman Mastermind'.

Participants will be hand picked to ensure that you get the most powerful mastermind possible. Message me for details and to apply. Vanessa x So, here's the thing. I know EXACTLY what you're missing. Seriously. Just this past week I've cracked open four women just like you. And now they know what they need to do next to take everything (💰💋✨💃🏻) to the NEXT LEVEL. And it only took a few minutes of 1:1 with me. How did I do it? Call it intuition vision, call it coaching, call it magical witchcraft if you like, but just know that it's one of my gifts. Because on top of 20yrs of actual, real world business building experience amongst other things, I'm also a really fucking powerful truth hunter. I know things about YOU. We may never even have spoken but believe me, if we're friends (virtual or real) I know EXACTLY why your shit isn't coming together the way you want it to right now. I guarantee you I know exactly why the $$$ aren't rolling in, why your relationship isn't fulfilling, why you're bored with e v e r y t h i n g around you. And I can tell you RIGHT NOW. In a finger snap. But of course I can only help you SHIFT IT ALL if you are actually going to take action, immediately. Even when it's hard and your resistance has you wanting to climb out of your skin and run away. Yeah, especially then. If you run, you'll spend the rest of your life running. But if you stop and say 'ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT, IT STOPS NOW!' we can really turn your mess into your greatest success. As one of my clients this week said 'I won't shut down... until I take action.' And let me be clear, this was a woman who was already taking allllllll the text book action. She was already 'busy'. But the time had come for her to take the REAL action that changes worlds, shifts dimensions, powers personal and professional revolutions. Yeah, she's committed to taking that kind of action. She ordered her logical, conscious doubting mind to pipe down so that her true self could be unleashed. The women who say yes to themselves AND go and take immediate action... they are my kind of women. Are you one of them? Or are you a 'wait and see woman'? If you're a DOER, click the link in my bio or message me. Vanessa x New hair 💋 Hey everyone!
