1:1 Business Coaching for New Entrepreneurs

 

Personalised containers designed to help you stop falling off the wagon, condense timelines and leave behind what's holding you back. 

You Don't Have To Do It Alone

Incredible 1:1 support that gets you out of your own way.

 

By combining the power of mindset and strategic expertise, we support you in creating or growing a business that achieves increased sales in less time, all while wasting less money on the way. 

Our 1:1 coaching is for you if...

  • You know 2024 is the year you're starting your business and grow it so it can support you. You're not playing around anymore.

  • You know you would benefit from 1:1 support because you keep overthinking stuff, getting paralysed and not taking enough action.

  • You know you lack marketing & business skills (you don't understand how people are so successful online and you aren't) and you know that this lack of skills could be stopping you from making your business a successful reality.

  • You're feeling overwhelmed by all the things you need to do to start or grow your business.

  • You may be dreaming of location & financial independence (or being able to work from home in your PJs), and know that entrepreneurship would suit your lifestyle.

  •  You're lost on how to market your business effectively to keep a flow of constant leads

  •  You're willing to put in the work to achieve your goals.

  • You want a space where you can bounce off your ideas, make decisions, stay accountable and put your ideas into action.

  • You know you want to create something unique and you know you are not reaching your potential with your current actions.

  •  You feel frustrated that your success is taking too long and you want to accelerate the timeline by acquiring the best marketing & business skills out there and have someone hold your hand through all of it so you don't give up.

  • You are currently doubting you can actually pull this business thing off, but deep down you trust yourself. You know you need the right container & environment to make it happen!

You are in the right place

There is a multitude of conflicting advice on investment priorities when launching or growing a business. We have a different approach.

We provide 1:1 support because the hardest thing in this process is overcoming self-doubt and limiting beliefs. The name of the game is ‘getting out of your own way’. By providing you with personalised support, we help you address and conquer these challenges effectively.

Inside our 1:1 programs, you also get access to our BUILD Library (our growing marketing, business and mindset library) and the SHOW UP Community.

What others are saying about Forget the Office

Piero

Mercè is a great professional and a wonderful person.

I was stuck and she helped me find my purpose.

It has been a great experience to work with her.

Ariadna

The money mindset session with Merce was very useful to me because I could understand my values related to money.

I found that some beliefs were limiting me and my business. Now I am more capable of making the right decision regarding my values, lifestyle, and personal needs. She is such an amazing coach :).

Laura

I highly recommend the workshop to anyone who wants to learn about Instagram Strategy and how to use Canva. This workshop has given me all the tools I needed to confidently start with my Instagram content strategy and with my Canva designs. After the workshop I feel much more clarity, confident, and energised to start taking action, and now I know where to start.

Kim

Mercè is a great mentor. Very patient and encouraging. I don't consider myself a techie person and I easily get overwhelmed when it comes to Instagram, Canva, and technologies in general, but Mercè explains everything in such a simple and clear way that everything seems much easier and fun. I cannot recommend this workshop enough!

Sara

It's still a work in progress but the program is great, and Merce is a very organised person, so that helps if you are quite messy and want it all but don‘t know where to start :)

Beatriz Jericó

Mercè was a gift from the universe, this is how it is.

Our sessions made realize so many limiting beliefs, many issues that burned inside me and I didn't know why. Thanks to her I have begun to really visualize my path as a freelancer.

Thank you for that, Mercè. Looking forward to seeing each other again 🙌🏻🙏🏻

Dr. Anneline Padayachee

Today's workshop was really, really, really epic.

We got given a workbook, which guides your thinking right from working out your values, your mission, and your vision for either yourself personally, and also your business and your company. 

And then it takes you from there all the way through to working out content, all within a day. 

Because if you don't get that basics right and you don't understand the pains of who your target audiences are, don't really get into their head, understand what does a win look like for them, and don't understand what their objections could potentially be, you're just literally swinging back blindly. So yeah, the workshop was really, really, really good.

Alba Marin, CEO & Founder of @Sinequal.es

These are some of the things Alba said about 1:1 coaching with Forget the Office:

What did you enjoy the most about the program? I loved everything about it. Not only did it give me the necessary tools to launch my project, but it's a complete mindset shift. I know that without Mercè, it would have been impossible for me to be where I am today.

How would you say it has impacted your business and life so far? Especially in that I believe I have a structured minimum viable product and know my ideal customer. In my personal life, it has impacted me greatly in seeing myself truly as the owner of my company and believing that I can do this. I love all the material it provides. It has helped me a lot in setting specific deadlines. By documenting every step, I have been much more capable of identifying flaws and structuring the brand and business much better overall. I also felt very understood in all the sessions.

How would you say it will impact your business and life in the coming months? In every aspect, because right now I feel confident in having a very solid foundation for my project.

Would you recommend it to other people? Yes.
