MY STORYMy Story
I’m going to be honest with you: I’m not a fan of the ‘about me’ page…because I want this entire online magazine to be all about you and not me.
It’s what I tell all my clients - every single piece of communication with every client you have is nothing about you and all about them. If we’re serving from our highest self, everything I share with you will tell you all you need to know about me, my business, what I do and how I can help you grow. Every post on social media, every article here on this website. What I share with you in my podcast, The Empowered Business Woman, and how I stand in front of you at an in-person gathering.
What I will tell you is that I didn’t take the generic route to running a successful business!
And I’m guessing you might not have either?
In fact, what is the conventional route?
Is there one?
In business I think each and every one of us have a unique path in business.
Throughout my Journalism degree I told myself I wasn’t good enough to be one. How silly is that? Because I trained in Wales I was also told that because I didn’t speak Welsh I wouldn’t get a gig.
So, I focused on the national press et voila! My career was born - a journalist I was.
I’VE WRITTEN FOR: Elle Decoration, Grand Designs, Ideal Home, Blueprint, Furniture Today, House Beautiful, Beautiful Homes, 25 Beautiful Kitchens, Kitchens Bedrooms and Bathrooms, Style at Home, Your Home, Real Homes, Bridge for Design, Furniture Today.
Because what I will share with you is that with twenty years of experience in the design industry I believe business should not only look good but feel great! So let me help you create just that…after all, isn’t that why we’re here?
— Nicola Wilkes, SSB founder —That said, I’m also nosy, just like you and I adore a good behind the scenes and have many girl crushes on super successful women killing it in their field. So follow me on socials - especially Instagram - where we’ll absolutely get to know each other. DM me, post comments on my feed, reply to stories - I LOVE hearing from you and exerting into amazing conversation…you’ll learn much more about me that you will reading through lots of boring copy here!
Or, Join me at one of our forthcoming in-person events (click the link to SSB in the top menu bar and book a seat to join us in the room at our next incredible in-person masterclass, retreat or workshop). I would be so excited to meet you in person and to be in real conversation around the table with you.
Where I share the rest of my story - the pieces that I think are motivational, that show you I’ve been there and done it. The bits that are inspiring as I want to show you I’ve done it so you can too…those pieces are within this website. Those stories are ingrained in every conversation I will have with you as a client, as a member of the SSB Community, as a reader, as a follower, as another business owner. As another human being so available for creating their best life. It’s within those deep connections I hope to get to know you more, and you, me.
