The Smart Woman’s Guide to Work That Fits Your Life (Without Sacrificing What Matters Most)
You’ve realised you want something more — but what does that actually look like?
Starting something new sounds exciting, but also overwhelming. The good news? You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Let’s explore how to make a shift that truly works for you.
The 3 Biggest Mistakes Women Make When Starting Their Next Chapter
- Choosing Based on What’s Immediately In Front of Them, Not What Fits Them
So many women see others thriving in certain industries — coaching, property investing, e-commerce — and assume that’s the path for them too. But just because something works for someone else doesn’t mean it’s right for you.
Instead of chasing trends, focus on:
🌟 What you actually enjoy doing.
🌟 What fits your skills and personality.
🌟 What aligns with your values and lifestyle.
🌸 Example: A former teacher may jump into opening a tutoring business but under closer examination, may realise it wasn’t the teaching itself they miss but creating structured lesson plans. So a pivot into curriculum design for online educators would provide a more fulfilling and flexible career.
- Underestimating the Power of Mindset (Fear Holds Them Back!)
Doubt can be paralysing. Thoughts like “Am I even good enough?” or “What if I fail?” keep women stuck, instead of confidently stepping into something new.
Through NLP coaching, I help women reframe these fears and replace them with empowering beliefs. Because the truth is — you are more capable than you think!
🌸 Example: A common limiting belief for Mum’s who take a career break is that they have lost their professional edge. Mindset coaching can help you recognised just how many transferable skills you have gained during that time from organisation to problem-solving and communication. May be running a virtual assistant business would fit your strengths and give you financial independence while working from home?
- Thinking Their Only Option is Traditional Employment
Many women assume returning to a traditional job is their only path forward, without realising there are other flexible and fulfilling options that better align with their lifestyle.
In reality, there are proven business models that allow them to start quicker and with less risk.
The two obvious choices are:
🌟 Traditional Employment – Seeking a stable pay cheque.
🌟 Part-Time or School-Aligned Roles – Working within school hours.
But there are plenty of other paths for you out there, for example:
🌟 Investing – Growing wealth through assets like stocks, property, or other income-generating opportunities that generate passive income.
🌟 Franchise – Running a business with a proven brand, whether a store, service, or home-based model.
🌟 Freelancing / Consulting – Offering various clients your existing expertise in a flexible way.
🌟 Coaching & Courses – Guiding others through a transformation.
🌟 Social Selling, Network Marketing & Affiliate Marketing – Using existing brands (that you love and use yourself) and business models to start earning quickly.
🌸 Example: You may be hesitant about leaving traditional employment but want or need more flexibility. If you have the relevant background, you could explore consulting in HR, and help small businesses build hiring processes. This would let you work on your own terms while leveraging your expertise.
