Come say hello on Instagram @kirsty.ops

  • Two years ago a client came to me that used @gohighlevel … and I will be honest it I found it really counterintuitive. I could see why people were getting overwhelmed and abandoning it and I was the tech-y one!! 

But I’m in it now with a business that needs and has properly thought-out automations and workflows and it works! Don’t get me wrong some bits still make no sense… some drive me up the wall BUT I don’t think it’s a bad platform.

Few things though to consider…. 1) It depends on where your business is and what it needs. 

And 2) If you’ve got the foundations and either the time to set it up or the budget for someone to do it for you, it’s worth a serious look because it WILL take longer than you think!

BUT once it’s built, what it CAN do is a lot!!
  • Everyone describes perimenopause as chaos, brain fog and memory loss…. That’s nothing new for me I’ve had all of that forever 😆 What’s new is that I can finally read my own cycle and feel things sooner rather than later. 

Anyone else experienced perimenopause kinda backwards?? Not that I’m surprised 😆😆
  • For years I couldn’t have told you how I was feeling at any point in my cycle. I never saw patterns and apart from the date I couldn’t really track anything.

Then a couple of months ago, it went the other way!

My period is more of a period than it’s ever been and last week I knew exactly why I was dysregulated because it was due at the end of the week.

Im confused and I can’t help but feel at a time when I should probably be feeling the chaos twice as much… why I feel clearer than ever. 

I’m grateful (even with the dysregulation - ish!) but I have no idea what’s going on. 

Could it be my ADHD meds, my iron tablets or just my age/my hormones?? I haven’t found an answer yet but I can’t be the only one that’s experienced this??
  • I’ll go first. I’ve bought all of them 🫣
  • Things my clients have achieved this year... that I need to remind them about WAY more often! 👀🧡⁣
⁣
Because apparently, achieving something once means we're immediately allowed to move the goalposts and decide it doesn't count anymore. 😂⁣
⁣
So, just for the record...⁣
⁣
✅ One client stopped giving away free workshops willy nilly and now offers paid events to the right people who are ready to buy.⁣
⁣
✅ Another has spoken at multiple in-person events... on stage, with a microphone! ⁣
⁣
✅ Another landed their first corporate engagement, which has since created a whole snowball effect of new opportunities.⁣
⁣
✅ And another did the pre-offer validation work that most people skip, then went on to run their first beta and create their first case study.⁣
⁣
None of these things happened because they suddenly became a different person, found the perfect strategy or finally figured out how to "do business properly".⁣
⁣
They happened because they made decisions, tested things and had me encouraging them to keep going 🙌🏻✨⁣
⁣
Because it’s more often than not and before they finished the last, they start looking at the next thing. And completely forget what they've already built. 🙃⁣
⁣
So this is your reminder...⁣
⁣
The thing you've already achieved still counts, even if you've already moved on to wanting the next thing 🧡⁣
⁣
Sometimes you just need someone else to point that out to you!⁣

  • My diagnosis didn't change my business. It explained why I'd built it the way I had. 🧠🛠️⁣
⁣
Around hyperfocus, pattern recognition and making things simpler than most people thought possible!⁣
⁣
And for the years before it, well... it didn't "fix" that either.⁣
📚 The anxious kid who couldn't do school.⁣
👩🏻‍💻 The employee who lost her desk for being a mother.⁣
⁣
None of that gets rewritten because I have a diagnosis now.⁣
⁣
It didn't make the hard stuff easier overnight.⁣
I still avoid the same things.⁣
I still hyperfocus on the wrong thing at 11pm.⁣
⁣
But what it did give me was language 💬✅⁣
⁣
Every “why do I do that?” I'd been asking myself since I was five suddenly had an answer.⁣
⁣
An answer that gave me context instead of criticism. 🧡⁣
