Is negative inner dialogue holding you back from taking the plunge into a freelance career or solo venture? Are pesky intrusive thoughts keeping you from making any progress? Thoughts such as:

• Will anyone be interested in what I have to offer?
• Will I be able to find clients?
• Where am I going to find the time and money for all of this?
• Will I be able to support myself long-term?
• Where would I even start?
• What if I screw this up?
• Do I have what it takes to pull this off? 

First of all, to the last question — yes, yes you do. As human beings living on planet earth, we all experience fear and self-doubt, especially when we're about to do something we've never done before. And extra-especially when it's something as bold as blasting off on a new venture! 

That's why if you've been wrestling with these types of questions and doubts, it can be extra helpful to discuss them with an unbiased third party. Someone who has relevant knowledge and experience and knows what they're talking about. That way, they can help validate your ideas and point you in the right direction. 

Enter Bea Mangar.

She has drawn on her vast experience in far-flung industries like travel, hospitality and marketing — in addition to her own interests in personal development — to create her signature online courses and mentoring programs.
