Low Point in Journey

Delaying trademarking her business name could have been significant to Mandy’s business as between reading through the website and acting on what was required, someone else had applied with similar words. Luckily Mandy has had her business for several years, and managed to successfully trademark her business name, ‘Mandy Napier’s Mindset for Success’. The lesson learnt was not to delay the imperatives of business! Moreover, you probably know this, yet how often do you put things off? We all have our strengths and areas of work that are not inspiring and we don’t really enjoy. However, she learnt from this and realised that by scheduling time for completing those hard or tedious tasks always eliminates future stress.

A quick way to get into action is to step out into the future and Imagine by not taking decisive action, what might occur. This in itself is a great strategy to achieve better results in business

Turning Point in Business

A client, who was depressed, a business owner and a single mother with an intellectually disabled child, reached out to Mandy for help. Mandy helped her move off medication*, quit smoking, drinking and achieve massive transformations in her personal and professional life.

*please note that per Mandy’s suggestion, the support provided to her client to move off medication was done in collaboration with the client’s doctor.
