We have a rather gut wrenching question today, that I'm sure many listeners can relate to. The question is: "I was asked to speak at a big in-person conference and I wanted to say yes so much. But it requires international travel and I just can't manage that at the moment with kids and family commitments. I'm feeling a little deflated. Any advice on how to navigate this feeling of feeling pulled between what's best for my kids and me as a mother, versus what's best for my business?" Connect: Amy on Amy on Kirsty on

A detour from Magnetic North Mastermind, her core offer over the last 2 - 3 years, Amy has spent most of 2023 building a new course that encompasses all of the skills and techniques she's honed over her 30+ years of experience building six successful businesses.
As a business-development specialist and coach for more than 1,000 creative freelancers, Amy's learned that there is one fundamental difference between freelancers who are good, (even great) at their craft and make a ‘just meh’ living and those who crush it.
The difference? Business skills. Understanding what clients really want. Understanding what you really want. And then, knowing how to get it.
