Budding business owners
Solo success starts now
More people are keeping their day jobs and becoming their own boss., for income, independence or inspiration.
Maybe you've taken courses, or read books. Maybe you've started, but feel overwhelmed, or find that putting ideas into practice isn't that straightforward. Maybe you're following someone else's blueprint, but it's not for you.
Every business and business-owner is different. The best way is the way that works for you.

Mages P., aspiring business owner
Her style and method were highly effective; she swiftly helped me realize what I truly want to do & achieve in my entrepreneurial journey. I am thrilled to share that I have already taken my first step towards my goals, a commitment I made during our coaching session."
Vanessa H., budding entrepreneur
Lin's calmness and openness made it easy for me to unpack my thoughts and concerns, and by the end of the session, I felt the conviction in myself - and the unique route I am on - grow. Definitely recommended for anyone who wants to do great things, but feels uncertain.
Gen C., business owner
...vastly transformative for my own personal challenges, and given me many new revelations and insights into the relationships I have at work and home. This has helped me to grow in my ability to handle the challenges as a business owner and a parent.
Who it's for:
Full-time employees who want to diversify income and risk, for more autonomy and flexibility
Freelancers or steady solopreneurs who want more stable, scalable income

What's in the program?
Over 4 months, we'll work together to get you clarity on your product, business style, customers and skills for continued growth
Why we're different
Accelerating your clarity and growth as a new business owner
01
Tailored to your lifestyle & business goals
No two businesses are alike. Rather than follow a playbook, we create one that suits your personal vision and the kind of business that would fit your lifestyle, goals and context
02
Guiding, not instructing
We will use a mix of approaches for you to find your own strategy and identity as a business owner, drawing on your personal and professional history, and my 15 years of experience working with corporates, startups and civic organizations.
03
Combining data and intuition
Intuition is based on experiences that inform what works for us; data provides objective information to support decision-making. We'll work together to figure out how to combine these effectively in a way that suits you and your business.
04
Lasting personal transformation
I'll be honest - not every business takes off, even with the best efforts. But the process of building it is itself transformative. Expect to get comfortable with discomfort, grow confident amidst uncertainty, and learn skills and mindsets that will serve you, whatever you choose to in future.
These will complement the Deliberate Coaching principles and approach
