EVOLVE

A live 2h workshop for founders whose business, industry or sense of who they are in their work is changing and who know they can’t keep doing things exactly as they have been.

Join us on the 17th October (with replay available) to learn how to evolve your business into its new iteration without burning it down or losing yourself in the process.

You’ve built something real.

You’ve learned business, you sold, became visible, maybe even known for something. People associate you with a certain skill, expertise or result they could get by working with you. And all of that actually made you proud.

But at some point, a little voice started to appear for you and said “Is this really it?”
And while you tried to ignore it, it keeps asking for your attention.

Because on paper, your business WORKS.
You have some clients.
You are making money.
Your content is somewhat working.

But, when you’re really honest with yourself, it doesn’t feel like enough.
So you try being more visible.
Or you work on your copy and messaging.
And you make your content more strategic.

But the truth is, it’s a different type of “not enoughness”.
You feel like you’ve changed.
And obviously, it’d be nice to make more and have more clients… something tells you yeah, but not this way.

And to make things even more confusing, it's not all in your head. The world your business exists in IS changing.
AI is changing entire industries. The way people search, buy, learn and make decisions is changing. Some services that were valuable five years ago are becoming easier or cheaper to access. Clients are more cautious about where they spend their money. Entire professions are having to ask what their value is now.

So you're left trying to work out: is it me or is it my business? Is my industry changing? Is my old business model becoming less relevant? Am I simply bored? Have I outgrown this? Or is something completely new trying to emerge?
And the annoying answer might be: a bit of all of it.🫠

In any case, all of this is making you feel restless and confused. You’re wondering if you should just stop and get a job or pivot into something else or keep trying harder. You worry about the future of your business but you also worry about yourself and how much longer you can handle the uncertainty. Because it feels really heavy. Unbearable even.

Because behind the uncertainty is fear:

Fear of losing money and clients
Fear of losing reputation
Fear of doing something wrong by people who already trust you
Fear of judgment
Fear of losing something you’ve worked hard for

And there's another layer to this when the world around your business is changing too. Because now you're not only trying to work out what you want. You're trying to work out what will still be relevant in two years, what AI will change, what your clients will still pay for and whether the thing you've spent years becoming brilliant at will still have the same value.

That's a lot of uncertainty for one nervous system to hold.

My story

Hi, I’m Ola. And you already know my story, I told it above. See, I used to work as a business coach for language professionals. Built quite a name for myself. And the first little sign of dissatisfaction with my business came in 2024. Funnily enough, it happened straight after a SUPER successful summit I ran with nearly 2000 attendees and £5000 in sales made in a week. At the peak of success I should have felt exhilarated. Empty… was what I actually felt.

But because I had no idea what was happening to me and why and nobody around me really understood what I was going through, I started to try and find a fix, a solution. Because it felt SO uncomfortable.

I tried every business strategy under the sun (and they even worked! They led me to my first £20k month!). I started getting into spirituality. I went back to therapy. I hired multiple coaches. I started something new on the side. It was an absolute mess. I even got depressed at one point.

But… the empty feeling was still there.

From confusion to blissful, aligned evolution

It was only after 18 months of suffering, making impulsive and emotional decisions, nearly losing it all and actually closing my previous business, did I realise that I was still clinging to the past version of me.

I was terrified of letting go of the identity of a business coach, an expert, the one with all the answers.

I had no capacity to be in the uncertainty of what new thing/new evolution/new direction was trying to come through me. So I kept going back to the old identity.

The best metaphor I used to describe this state was when I told my friend that my old business and who I was in it was like a relationship that once worked, was full of love and passion but I didn’t love it anymore. And that was not something I could accept.

Because I didn’t want to be alone and directionless. Nobody wants that. It’s scary. So I did everything. I even went back for a shag or two with the old boyfriend 😂

And at the same time I delayed my own and my business’s evolution for a very long time.

So when I finally landed on what it was that I wanted to do next, I had already created a massive public, emotional and reputational mess. And that felt terrible. I struggled for many months. 18 to be exact.

And there was another layer to all of this: it wasn't only me who was changing. The market was changing too.
Especially over the last year, I could feel that the way people buy, learn and look for support was shifting. AI was changing entire industries, people were more cautious with money and it felt like they were looking for something different.

That made my own evolution harder to understand because I couldn't neatly separate what was changing in me from what was changing around me.

But maybe I didn't need to. Sometimes we change. Sometimes the market changes. And sometimes both happen at the same fucking time.

Maybe evolution is simply adapting to what is true now.

So I did come through on the other side. Decided, confident, hopeful. And with people behind my back.  For me the evolution was working as a nervous system/somatic practicioner (the work that literally saved my life since I found it in 2023). The gap between that and my previous business coaching career was big so it took time and guts to follow that thread that had been calling me for a while. But I finally decided. 

And when I did, I immediately received a confirmation message from someone (or the Universe itself) that said:

Since receiving the message I also got enquieries about my new work, loads of people signed up to my new newsletter and opportunities have 'magically' started to appear. That's when I knew, I made it to the other side. ✨

You may wonder how I did it and what happened in those 18 months. And that’s exactly why I created…

EVOLVE 🦋

A live 2h workshop for founders in the middle of a business transition they didn’t ask for but can’t resist anymore so they can evolve themselves and their business without burning it down or losing themselves in the process.

What we’re going to do

In this 2h+ live (recorded) workshop we will go into each stage of the CHRYSALIS (the phase that caterpillars go into inside the cocoon before they become butterflies!)

🦋 Formation: we will discover what you need to let go of in yourself and your business to move further and transform into the new iteration

🦋 Metamorphosis: we will go deep into the process of change so you understand its stages and where you’re currently at and how to move through them without fear and confusion

🦋 Emergence: we will move into finding out what is needed for you to emerge back as an evolved version of yourself and roughly how long it will take

What you will actually learn

- In what stage of the transformation process you and your business are and what to do to move to the next

- How to spot what needs to change in your business and how to make those changes gently and without freaking yourself (and your audience) out

- Nervous system regulation tools to hold yourself through the uncertainty of this process

- A simple container for this transition so you know where you are and so you don't have to suffer for 18 months like I did😅

Do you need this?

I don’t know! You need to ask yourself.
You need to be truly honest with yourself about what this phase of business is really asking of you.
You need to be open to exploring things beyond business strategies and messaging.
You need to be willing to feel uncomfortable for a while.
You need to know I won’t give you answers or ready-made solutions but will guide you to your own truth.

Will this work for you?

If you find yourself in any way resonating with what I’ve written on this page, then likely YES. You don’t need to be going through a dramatic transformation from a business coach to a somatic practitioner like I did, but you need to feel that it’s time to evolve.

This will work for you even if:
- You want to play bigger than you have been
- Want to go from a teacher to a coach or from an expert to a guide or the other way round
- You are not sure what you actually want but you know it’s likely not what you’re doing now
- You’re not feeling empty but just ready to evolve, transform, change your work to something that suits you/is more aligned with you and your life as it is NOW
- Your industry is changing and you know your business needs to change with it, but you don't yet know what that looks like
- AI or changes in your market have made you question what people will actually need from you in the future
