Get well paid to do work you love, in a way that totally honours who you are as a person (thoughtful, complex, brave, scared, overwhelmed, ambitious, awkward, & everything in between).
You’ve been building (or dreaming of building) your business for a while now. You’re not the kind of person who is motivated only by money (though if you’re being honest then, yes, you do want to earn good money!) But the noise is getting to you. There are just so many things you “should” be doing, half of which don’t feel like you, or you don’t have time for.
You’ve got big goals, you just need a way to reach them. If only you could figure out a path that works for you, and have the confidence to put yourself out there in a way that honours who you are as a person.
You can build a sustainable business in a way that works with, not against, your personality, that fits your values and that is true to what you believe & desire. In fact, it’s the only way to build a business – anything else will leave you feeling unfulfilled, burnt out or disillusioned (I know because I’ve been there).
I get it. This is all what I’m here to help you with.
“doing business your way is the only way this gets to be sustainable”
“Ruth is a wonderful business mentor. She has a supportive, kind approach while also providing accountability to make sure you take action. Ruth has also been great in helping me get over myself in terms of asking for the sale. I am now much better at making that ask.” – Caroline Wood
Does this sound like you?
✓ You’re ready to be fully supported along the emotional rollercoaster that is building a business. You’d love someone to tell you that it’s ok to dream big, and you want some accountability to help you take action (& to lovingly point out the ways in which you could be holding yourself back).
✓ You didn’t always find it easy to call yourself ambitious, but you are, in your own way. You want to earn good money AND do work you’re passionate about. You know you need to sell what you do, but you need to find a way to do it that doesn’t feel “icky”
✓ You’re so done with waiting, overthinking & letting the fear get in the way of your dreams (even though the fear is still very real)
✓ You’ve got ideas for projects, podcasts, courses, services that you’ve been overthinking for a while and want to turn into reality
✓ You’re willing to work hard, and to work on your mindset alongside the practice stuff, but you don’t believe in “hustle culture” – you want to grow your business with greater ease, and without sacrificing your income.
✓ You want to attract clients who buy from you because of who you are, not in spite of it. You long to build an engaged community of followers, email subscribers and, importantly, clients
✓ You need to do the work in a way that suits your personality and is in tune with your values
If you nodded your head to one or more of these, then I get it, and I can help
“I am so pleased with myself for deciding to go with Ruth…. she was great at giving me small manageable things to look at so that I felt I was making some progress into what felt like a gargantuan journey. The panicky feelings I had melted away. I didn’t feel pressured or vulnerable in the way I have with other coaches one to one. It was very comfortable and easy.
Ruth’s super-power is bringing clarity to (what to you feels like) chaos. She can help you see a path when you feel there isn’t one. And she does this all with this amazing calm energy. You never feel rushed or pressured, just reassured and supported.” – Penny Brazier, Creative Copywriter

Frequently Asked Questions
I offer these payment plans as standard: 4 payments of £440 for my 3 month package, and 7 payments of £430 for my 6 month package.
If you need to pay over a longer period, I can extend the plan even further. Just get in touch and we can chat about it.
As your business mentor, your success and your happiness matter to me. That is why I do everything on my side to keep you accountable: I work with you to break big goals down into actionable steps. I give you the ability to email me or message me whenever you need a bit of support. And I check in with you every single week (unless I’m on holiday).
As the client, it’s your job to do the work and be responsible for your own success. My clients have told me that the regular accountability check-ins, combined with a reduction in overwhelm following our calls and emails, help massively. And when life does happen – as it does for everyone, including me – I’m always there to bring your big goals back into focus and help you figure out what went wrong and how you can get back on track.
I use a free app called Voxer to keep in touch with my clients. You can send quick text or voice notes whenever you need to. It works like WhatsApp, but I choose to use Voxer so that we can both keep some boundaries between our “work” and “life” chats. It’s really easy to use, and honestly fun too! It’s a great way to keep me in your back pocket and know that you have the support when you need it. I find it also adds a deeper level to our communication.
But you don’t need to use it! Many of my clients have just used email support and that has also worked great. It’s all about figuring out what works best for you.
I know that I attract thoughtful clients who often worry about “bothering me”. So I want to let you know upfront that you are free to contact me at any time. I will take care of my own boundaries: I take weekends off, I generally only respond to emails within the hours of 9-6 UK time, and I’ll let you know in advance if I’m planning a holiday. I’ll also let you know if I think your emails or messages need to wait until the next call.
It’s so important for me to let you know that you have me here alongside you every step of the way – and I want you to take advantage of that!
So please do know that you can send me messages, emails or voice notes at any time. Even if I don’t reply instantly, my clients often find that writing things out, or sending me a voice note about what they’re up to, is massively useful to help them move forward while they wait for a reply.
Yes, if you want to start with 3 months then you can always add on another 3 months if you feel you’d benefit from a longer mentoring relationship with me (which, in fact, is pretty common!) At the end of any 3 or 6 month contract I’ll always let you know which options are available to you, and we’ll figure out together what support you need. And remember, there are never any hard feelings if you don’t want to continue working together, and I’m not the kind of mentor who would ever pressure you into booking more. Every client is different and I have massive respect for that.
a little note from me to you...
This is a big step for you!
Investing in a coach/mentor is exciting but it can also be scary. So let me share my journey with you. I started my business in 2008 and I had very little confidence in my abilities as a business owner. It took me years to invest in 1:1 support. And when I finally found the right person to support me, the money felt big.
But it also felt like the right step. The first time I was choosing to believe in myself as the business owner I already was, not the business owner I could be, if only I were more outgoing, more confident, more, more more…
I learnt to stretch my comfort zone based on what was in my heart, not based on comparing myself to what other people were doing.
I have never looked back from that first investment, and I’m never now without the support of a coach, mentor or mastermind group. Even though the money still feels scary at times. Because having the space for other people to truly hear you is priceless. And making all those decisions and stretching your comfort zone alone is hard.
So if it feels scary, know that this is partly what makes the investment so powerful. You’ll have a reason to show up, and trust that your intuition has led you to the right person who truly sees you and knows how to push you in the right way.
I would be honoured to support you on your journey to make even bigger and better things happen in your life and business.
You’ve got this.
“Taking advice from someone you don’t know can be a tricky path to navigate – will they understand my perspective? What do they really know about my business? Will they be able to tap into my thought-process? Ruth’s experience and balanced approach to her own businesses means she can cut through to what really matters and put me at ease immediately. She researched my business before our call and gave honest feedback to my questions and concerns. She has a skill for truly listening, processing and giving sensible, solid advice.” – Jo McCarthy of Firain
