Today's special guest believes creatives best get clear "with our mouths open" . Talking, and more importantly, listening is key to her role as a coach. Judith Morgan has been coaching for 15 years and Alice's coach - rather on a whim - for the past 5 years and today we are talking about what exactly coaching involves, sharing some of the practices which have helped many different creative entrepreneurs and discussing impatience, creating a sanctuary, the impact of emotions, leaving an imprint and the risks of helping others at your own expense. If you've ever wondered about how coaching could help you, we hope this might clarify your ideas about what to look for to choose the right way for you. After all, that's what we both strongly believe is the only way. Do you agree?

After last week’s show, Judith invites Nicola to tell the listener how to get a business off the ground fast, how to get your minimum viable product to market and be motivated by that fast-start momentum.   In The Show It was Nicola’s son Nelson’s 22nd birthday this week, and she describes life flat-sharing with her two children in their twenties. Judith’s week has been about contemplating business as a lifelong service-provider. What do people want to buy in 2019 and beyond?   What’s Fuelled Their Fire? Nicola is studying SEO and Judith has enjoyed helping two returner clients find their equilibrium and work out what to do next in their respective businesses.   Focus Of The Week After last week’s show, Judith invites Nicola to tell the listener how to get a business off the ground fast, how to get your minimum viable product to market and be motivated by that fast-start momentum.
