You started your business with excitement and enthusiasm — up for the challenge and loving the idea of being self-employed. Then something started nibbling away at the joy and a little voice was repeating 'give up and go back to your old job'. You hate networking, you feel guilty about being 24/7 obsessed and yet earning a paltry pittance. What is going on? Is there a way through or do you give up.
If any of this resonates — you might be a self-squashing with your inner-critic in the driving seat. Help is at hand.
The Mystery of the Squashed Self shows us how, in a world of social media perfection and 'know-it-all business gurus' we are so easily sucked into the 'shoulds' and pulled away from our unique power, purpose and personality. By using an utterly unique approach the chapters bring familiar frustrations to life with the power of story and humour. With actionable tips, self-reflection exercises and psychology insights throughout, this book is not just another self-help book — it is a wake-up call to all the wonderful entrepreneurial women who are at risk of becoming bland, bored or even bitter.
Award-winning business coach and actor Trisha Lewis brings us Investigator Lewis and Professor P who help 8 frustrated female business owners to spot the squashing and set about a motivation, confidence and impact transformation.
