Starting your own business for the first time is both exciting and daunting and especially so when you are daring to ditch your fearful, doubting alter-ego aka your 'imposter' self for once and for all. Networking and marketing are a necessary part of getting your business of the ground and essential to growth.
As an introvert & someone who previously stayed out of the lime-light for all the wrong reasons, I want you to know that opportunities await once you decide to be your authentic self.
When I embraced my authenticity and started to market my artwork and books I made new connections that served me well. These are just a few examples of people who have supported my work, they are all talented, courageous and kind.
"These are authors who are dedicated to their genre and who have interesting stories to tell, in fact some are thrilling and they share their stories with tremendous passion and enthusiasm."
If horror is your thing you should check out Author Ellie Douglas. I confess I'm not one for horror but I know that Ellie’s work is very much craved by her fans and she has won quite a few awards.
Ellie is a very warm-hearted and kind human being I can’t believe she revels in this other world of fangs, gore and flesh-ripping tales. You can find Ellie on twitter as @AuthorEllie and visit her website.
Soon after launching my first book, I acquired another lovely twitter friend. Author Miriam Mc Guirk purchased my poetry book and gave me a lovely review on social media.
I also purchased Miriam’s book ‘Shattered Dreams & Scorpions at Midnight’, a non-fiction travel memoir set in Turkey, where Miriam slowly recovered from a debilitating illness. Her story is full of endearing tales of adjustment to a new culture and finding one’s place in a distant land.
It was a joy to find Author Janvi Jaji, a teenage Indian student whose passion for writing leaps from the screen. We instantly became writer sisters. From time to time, we check-in to see what progress is being made with our plans for conquering the world with our books and stories. Janvi is the author of The Triumph Drive, which tells an inspiring story about a man who rose from very a lowly position to great heights but there is a lesson to be learned about success. Janvi's book trailer is here.
While I originally found Janvi on Twitter you will find her more actively keeping her fans posted on Instagram. You can read more of Janvi's stories on her blog too.
Author William B. Hedgepeth is another of my interesting friends on Twitter. William is the author of ‘Wild Wilful Heart’. The title itself is very apt. Wild Wilful Heart is a gripping tale of spiritual quest, full of strange, wonderful, sometimes hair-raising encounters. These are some of the details of William’s true-life experience. There are plenty of highs and lows. In the end love wins the day, with a more peaceful settling of the heart. William resides in the USA it is lovely to know that I have someone rooting for me on the other side of the world.
Maria Lehtman is another of my special author friends. Maria found me on twitter after the launch of my poetry book which she purchased and soon after provided me with a lovely review. Nine months later Maria contacted me to invite me to be featured in her next book, The Dreaming Doors, which was published six months later. It is full of Maria’s thought-provoking poetry and photography and creative graphics, inspired by the many interesting doorways Maria found on her travels. The book features two of my poems and images of two of my paintings. You can follow Maria on twitter @LehtmanMaria or visit her blog where you can also purchase a copy of The Dreaming Doors. Maria also creates magical nature videos on Instagram

I Discovered My Passion
I was stressed with a lot going on in my life. I needed to find space to clear my mind. Caroline helped me to relax. Then, by asking me a few relevant questions I got an ‘aha moment’. I left with an idea for starting a new business doing something I really care about. I discovered my passion and left feeling energised.

More Aware of Signs of Stress & Anxiety
The biggest benefit of the coaching programme was having someone to listen to me, who ‘gets’ what’s going on with me. Caroline helped me to put in place a step by step self-care routine. Also, I’m more aware of the signs of anxiety and stress now and am able to do things that reduce their effects.

Authentic Path Inspiration

Invites Peace & Tranquility
Caroline poems are soothing and inspiring. Her words have the power to captivate and charm the soul. Connecting with Nature is a very effective way to reduce symptoms of stress, because it slows down the mind and helps the body to relax. Reading poetry is an instant way of inviting peace and tranquillity into your life. Caroline combines both in ‘The Whisperings of Nature’.

Excellent Mentor - Feeling Boosted
Caroline is gifted and is clearly an excellent mentor & I will work more with her in the future. Caroline boosted me to get onto the right track very quickly, without me even realising. This means Caroline was very able to make me understand what I needed to do. (Focus for Success Programme).
