prime
verb
- to prepare someone for the next stage in a process so that they know what to do, especially by sharing essential information.
- to prepare or make ready for a particular purpose or operation.
If there's one thing that I hear over and over again, it's that there's so much to know and learn, that it's very easy to become confused, overwhelmed and stuck.
Everywhere you turn, you're inundated with information and advice.
So you try this. And you try that. But nothing seems to be working.
And here's why...
Remember the bedtime story The Three Little Pigs?
If you build your business with straw or sticks, then that big bad wolf is going to huff, and puff, and blow your house down.
Don't get me wrong. Knowledge is a good thing. But without a solid strong foundation, there will be nothing for the knowledge to build upon.
Is this you?
You're a coach, consultant, freelancer or professional service provider who delivers a service, a digital product or training online.
You're crazy good at what you do but you have no idea how to get in front of the right people.
You lack focus, clarity and direction. It's like you're in a fog and can't see where you're going.
You're not getting any results from your random marketing efforts.
You jump from one marketing strategy to another, never focusing on anything long-term.
You're suffering from information overload. You feel confused, overwhelmed and stuck.
You've tried to do everything on your own but you're not sure where to even begin anymore.
You're ready and determined to give your dreams your best efforts.
"Where is the magic?"
You have a website. A logo. Social media accounts. And finally, after months of hard work, your sign is up - OPEN FOR BUSINESS.
But... not much is happening.
Inconsistent (or, worse, non-existent) cash flow and a lot of doubt about if you are truly cut out for this.
You feel overwhelmed and stuck about how to make your business dream a reality. There's a huge gap between where you are and where you want to be. So you consume more information online, watch more videos, try everything the gurus recommend, and spend more time "marketing" yourself on social media.
It feels like you're stabbing in the dark, hoping to strike lucky.
You're exhausted, but you're still nowhere nearer to that dream.
"What am I doing wrong?"
You're not doing anything wrong.
Know who your target audience is and who you're talking to
Develop a deep understanding of the problems and challenges your ideal clients are facing
Know precisely how you're going to help them solve those problems
Communicate succinctly how you can help them achieve the results they desire, in a language they can understand
A clear and focused action plan so you know what you're doing now and what you're doing next (no guess work!)
If you lack clarity in any of these key elements, you'll struggle to gain momentum in your business.
But none of your efforts have been wasted. You just need to backtrack a little, and lay down a strong foundation.
Imagine...
Getting crystal clear on who you help, how you help them and what results you help your clients achieve
Being able to articulate exactly what you do (no more struggling for words!)
Knowing what words and phrases to use in your marketing to draw your ideal clients towards your offers
Having a renewed confidence in yourself that YOU ARE cut out for this!
Attracting potential clients who are specificially looking for your expertise and are excited to work with you
Getting 1:1 support and encouragement from someone who's been there and done it
Receiving 1:1 feedback on everything you create
Having fun and making a living doing work that's in your zone of genius

Why work with me
Business know-how is important, but the success of your business depends on your willingness to build good habits, master your skills and strengthen your mindset. Through the Business Primer mentoring program, I'll help you develop the character of a successful business owner.
We'll review and celebrate your achievements throughout the week and confirm goals and tasks for the upcoming week. You'll also receive 1:1 feedback on everything you create.
The weekly calls are a perfect time for you to ask questions, and get help with anything that's stopping you from achieving your goals. Instead of procrastinating and feeling stuck week after week, you'll have a clear sense of direction of where you're heading and how you're going to get there. This is how you're going to build confidence and gain momentum to move your business forward.
I'll share with you the insights I've gained over the years, as well as the pitfalls and mistakes that you should avoid, so you can achieve your goals faster and with fewer setbacks.
I use insightful and creative exercises to help you discover how you can serve your audience in a way that's aligned with your core values and desires. When that happens, you'll feel a sense of urgency and excitement to plan your projects and tasks to move towards your goals. You'll go from feeling stuck and overwhelmed to having a clear direction and being able to take intentional action to achieve your goals, and have fun doing so. You'll gain clarity, focus and renewed enthusiasm for your business.
You'll feel unstoppable.
"The attention and dedication I've felt from working with you is unmatchable. You cater the mentoring specific to me, where I am, and also how I am, rather than try to make me fit into a particular program framework.
I feel supported and guided throughout. The weekly calls are very relevant. The daily email feedback is very specific to me, and helped me so much to stay on track. I really appreciate how you deliver your feedback, and how you gently nudge me into taking action.
Working with you has helped me bring a lot more clarity and focus to my business as well as helped me remove personal blocks that have been holding me back. You are gently pushing me out of my own way so I can achieve what I've been trying to do by myself and not achieved for a long time.
Thank you, Mui!"
- Juan C
"Before working with Mui as my mentor, I was just drifting rather than taking any action. Mui has gently held me accountable for moving my business forward. It's been a game-changer to be able to talk things through with her and to get her feedback and reassurance. She's great at listening, summarising and getting to the heart of the issue. Her thought-provoking questions enabled me to step back and understand where I'm going before plunging into action.
Mui strikes the perfect balance between offering guidance and encouraging autonomy. I loved the exercises she asked me to do as a precursor to starting on my first project. They really helped me focus on the why as well as the what, and provide the drive and motivation when things get hard. The exercises, together with the private client area, really motivated me to take action towards what I wanted to achieve each day.
You need to work with Mui!"
- Anne B
"Mui is amazing! She makes prioritizing business tasks and following through with them seem easy and fun. She validates every little step I take. Not once did I feel rushed or get the feeling that I wasn't enough.
Mui is genuine, kind, and very knowledgeable about what she does. She has a simple and straightforward approach to her mentoring and is never stingy with encouraging words. With Mui's help I was able to kick myself into action with a solid plan, pick a business goal that speaks to me, and just dive right in and do it. Without her, I don't know when I would have finished an entire email course. Probably next year. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mui!"

I like being accountable to someone and I like to know I can lean on her if I have technical questions and I don't feel stupid asking questions. Mui is amazing!

- Sarah D
"I had no idea what to expect from working with Mui or if it was going to make any difference at all to my business. But I gained so much value in just one week of working with her!
Mui is extremely passionate about what she does. She is also very open and honest. She provides value and actionable steps in each session that would give me something to do or think about before our next interaction. Now I finally have a better understanding of who my ideal client is and have a wealth of information to draw on while writing copy for my ideal client. And I've been able to put myself out there for people to find out about my business."
