Starting and running an ecommerce business can be overwhelming at times. You know that you need help, but you can't prioritise what exactly, and you just don't know where to start. I get it, been there, done that. To help you land on exactly what you are needing right now (and hey, if at the end we realise its not my services, kei te pai!), so that you can move forward with more confidence of what your business needs right now.
This 30-minute discovery call is designed to help you identify the specific areas where you need support. We'll discuss your goals, challenges, and opportunities, allowing us to pinpoint the exact mentoring, coaching or business training you need to drive your business forward. This is your opportunity to gain clarity and set a clear path to success, all in a focused, no-obligation conversation.
Book a time in the link below, please allow at least 48 hours in advance so you have time to complete the confidentiality agreement and brief questionnaire I will send you before the Zoom session. This will enable us to make the most of the time available. I look forward to talking with you.
