Ten years ago I had no guarantees. Just decisions that kept pointing in the same direction.

ActionCOACH just ranked my practice 6th in the world for growth as a premium coaching business.

Not 6th in South Africa. Sixth. Globally.

I heard it read out loud in a room in Goa. 76.2% growth. A decade of compounding the right choices.

Most business owners are working harder than ever and still feel like they are falling behind. That feeling is not laziness. It is a structure problem. The effort is there. The leverage is not.

That is what the last ten years taught me. Growth does not come from doing more. It comes from making decisions that build on each other, and refusing to stop when it gets uncomfortable.

If you are putting in the work and not seeing the result, the question is not how much harder you can push. The question is whether your decisions are stacking or cancelling each other out.

That is a solvable problem. I have watched owners fix it.

I don't think she expected to cry in front of a room full of strangers.

This week I was on a panel at BusinessPartners' "She Builds. She Balances." event. 45 years of backing entrepreneurs in South Africa. It's a big deal, I didn't fully register that until I was already up there.

We talked business, life, the stuff that sits between the two. At some point a woman stood up and said it. Running a company, two kids, her mother just moved in. She's tired. She said that last part quietly, like she wasn't sure she was allowed to.

I didn't have an answer. The room went quiet in a way that wasn't uncomfortable, which was strange. A few women started talking over each other a bit. I don't think anyone minded.

Grateful to BusinessPartners for the invite.

And to that woman. I hope she drove home feeling slightly less alone in it.

If you're in that place right now, comment "COACH" or send me a message. We'll find time to talk.

Tuesday was one for the books.

Lindie joined two other incredible women on the panel at "She Builds. She Balances.," and the room brought it, real questions, real honesty, and conversations that kept going long after the panel wrapped.

One of the loveliest parts? Hearing afterward that her line, "be rooted in your calling," actually stuck with someone in that room.

Thank you to Business Partners for having her, and to everyone who came up to chat.

Ten years. One photo. And I genuinely don't know if it captures any of it.

ActionCOACH marked a decade with me last week, and I keep landing on the same moment. The room, not the stage. Coaches flying in from different countries, different kinds of businesses, and within the first five minutes they're asking how your clients are doing. Sharing something that worked for them, unprompted, in case it's useful to you.

Ten years of this, and that bit still surprises me a little.

We paid this man to drive us around for one afternoon in India.

By the end of it, none of us wanted to say goodbye.

I don't even remember his name now, which feels wrong to admit. We talked about his kids, his city, where he thought we should eat. He had opinions about everything. By the time he dropped us off I think we hugged him.

Ten years of building something and I still can't tell you exactly what makes people stay. But I think it's got something to do with afternoons like that one.

Not every part of a trip makes it into a tidy recap. Some of my favourite moments from India had nothing to do with the conference.

A family of four on one motorbike, moving through chaos without a flicker of panic. A tuk-tuk driver who took the long way round on purpose and spent the whole ride sharing wisdom I usually only hear after years of working with someone. A dinner with coaches from six countries that nobody wanted to end.

None of it was on the programme. All of it is what I keep thinking about.

The moments that actually shift something in you rarely announce themselves. They show up in the detours and the conversations that run too long.

If you have come back from a trip and realised the thing that stayed with you was never on the itinerary, you will know exactly what I mean.

India gave me the conference and the chaos. I already know which one I will carry forward.

Ranked 6th highest growth globally as a premium ActionCOACH practice. Ten years in Chairman's Club. Both confirmed in Goa last week.

The moment that stopped me was not either of those.

It was standing in front of the Taj Mahal, at the end of a week that asked me to account for a decade of decisions, and realising that the work was never about the numbers. The numbers were the byproduct of something harder to measure and much harder to sustain.

Over the next few weeks I am going to share what that actually looked like. The decisions that compounded. The ones that cost. What ten years of building a serious coaching practice teaches you that no award ceremony puts on the slide.

If you are building something that is supposed to outlast your current effort level, this is worth following.

Balance was never the goal. Integration is.

That's the shift on the table this week at "She Builds. She Balances.," hosted by Business Partners.

Once it's done, I'll share a full debrief, the biggest insights and takeaways from the morning. Watch this space.

Choosing hard things….argh!!! 😤 It is messy, tough, and often lonely.
So why choose hard things?
My own experience has taught me:
The alarm next to my bed is the first hurdle but the real tough one is the voice that follows…the one that says this is not nice, this is tough, you have had a tough week, stay in bed, you are tired….!!!
To never negotiate with self because we always choose the easier path! In a way, protecting self!
Yet the reward is so worth it…choosing hard things and getting them done builds character, courage, capacity and confidence!
And a little cheeky thought: “Nothing else today can be so hard, 😜!”

I choose ‘hard’ for now easier later, instead of easy now and hard later!

Wishing you a ‘worth it’ Friday!

Exciting news! Lindie has been invited to join the panel discussion at Business Partners' Women's Month event this year.

The topic is work-life balance for female entrepreneurs, something Lindie knows from both sides of the table. As a business coach, she has spent years helping business owners build the systems that give them their time back. As a business owner herself, she has had to build that balance too.
