In this quick tip episode, Fiona digs into a behaviour she sees all the time in small business — self-sabotage. From saying you want more media exposure to turning opportunities down because you “don’t feel ready,” this episode is a reality check wrapped in encouragement. Fiona shares real examples, practical questions to ask yourself and why fear might be stopping you from the growth you’re craving.
