LERO9 – Stategic Web Design
When I first started working with Robert and Leanne they were unclear about the steps they needed to take to expand their business and were struggling with getting clarity on who their ‘ideal client’ was.
I spent a couple of days working closely with them to create their vision and get clear on what their values are.

Somehow none of the hours of work, reading, classes she has done were giving her the peace she was seeking. Her big challenge was that she didn’t know if she wanted to have a baby with her long standing partner or not. And not knowing this was causing her a lot of unhappiness. Unhappiness in spite of having a good life, with a loving partner, nice home, travel, a job working from home. Most of what she desired.
