Client interview: Sian Young, The Gutsy Entrepreneur

Welcome to the second client interview in this short series with Sian Young, The Gutsy Entrepreneur.

After attending the Planning and Writing Mini-retreat in 2016, Sian has been focusing on writing her second book. After spending 7 tough years on the streets of Scotland and later experiencing burn out, she is now an award- winning health coach. Her inspiration is to support entrepreneurs who are so determined to build their dream business, that they forget to take care of themselves!

In this interview, Sian talks about the challenges of writing the book and how it differs from writing the first one. She also shares the tools that she has learnt has helped her to overcome these challenges. Her dream is to build a new future from her past and show other entrepreneurs how they can do the same.

By attending the Planning and Writing Mini-retreat with Sheryl Andrews and myself, she talked about how the 2 day event helped her to:

• Get started on writing her book, build a clear plan that keeps her on track, and stops her from becoming distracted.
• Get clear on her message, who her book is for and how it will help them.
• Build her business alongside writing it, and in the interview she talked about why 2 days focused solely on her business helped her immensely.
• Manage the critic that might have stopped her from writing her book.

In the interview she says: “If you have a story to share and a passion to share it, do it! Don’t try and do it on your own. Get support rather than stand in your own way.”
