ABOUT VIKKI
Have you ever stood in front of a mirror and thought “there HAS to be more to life than this?”
That was me in 2018 after having emergency heart surgery in 2016 and then loosing my Dad to cancer in 2018 I was that person stood in front of the mirror, burned out, overworked, stressed and unfulfilled thinking there has to be more than this.
From the age of 18 I worked as a bookkeeper and then accountant and I have run my own successful bookkeeping and accountancy businesses since 2010 working closely with Entrepreneur's, Sole Traders and Small to Medium Sized Business Owners so I thought it was all I knew and nothing was going to change, I was feeling STUCK. Until I went on what I thought was a personal development course at the beginning of 2019 that turned into me signing up to train as a coach and I’ve never looked back.
Through coaching business owners (and for the first 12 months anyone that wanted coaching to build my experience) I realised how much my previous experience actually added value to my coaching. When we start strategic planning and goal setting I have years of experience doing this in a financial setting and lets be honest you can have the biggest goals in the world but if your business model doesn’t back it up then there’s not a lot of chance you are going to hit those goals.
One thing I have learned throughout my career is how important it is that YOU and ME as business owners are supported and clear on what we want our business to achieve and the direction we're going in with a motivated team beside us working towards the same outcome.
I have also learned the importance of having a clear plan especially in business! With the uncertain times that we are living in now planning and cash flow forecasting are game changers for a business. In a survey carried out by Review42 in February 2021 it revealed that out of 90% of new start ups that fail 82% of them fail because of cash flow reasons.
For years I massively under charged for my services especially based on my experience because without realising it I didn't think I was worth charging more than I was. I've always been great at working with my Clients to improve their operational performance and increase their income and wealth whilst managing their spending but for a long time I wasn't "walking my talk"
I also had a life changing realisation of how much my beliefs and the"stories" I was constantly telling myself were affecting my business and financial success or lack of it at the time.
After experiencing what a difference the tools and techniques I use in my coaching made to me personally and in my business and also the massive benefits I receive through being coached myself is what led me to start AMOUR Coaching.
