Why do I find this so hard?

I was like Ted, a fruit eating, travel loving hippy, I worked in temporary accountancy jobs, saved all my money and went to the first Thai Fruit Festival 12 years ago. I bought a road bike, joined all the other fruit bats and was uploading content to YouTube and my blog. I made £98 in total from ad revenue. But then they changed the requirements that you needed 1k followers, I had around 600.

I loved being in South East Asia, I didn't want to come home, and then I made a terrible mistake, when I ran out of money, my mum loaned me some to get home, but I was considering a working holiday visa to Australia instead, and I went back to the UK 😭 A decision I've regret! So anytime I meet anyone saying they never want to leave Bali or whatever country abroad, I tell them, don't go home!

Anyway, this is a long post but hopefully you stick with me.

I got into an abusive relationship and I'm now a single mother. I thought my niche would be single mum's or survivors of abuse, but I quickly pivoted because these women 1. don't have money for high ticket, 2. really need expert help before coming to my program.

So some time has passed and I believe I have found my ideal clients. Yet, I am now afraid and scared to launch anything!

Also, I just want to leave the UK already and go abroad and have a business that enables me to live out there without having to come back here, unless it's for a holiday.

I have many skills and my background is in accountancy (not an accountant) and when I feel desperate I end up researching things like setting up my own bookkeeping business and do it abroad, as I would only need a laptop really, clients can scan their documents to me - or I pay a company to do that.

I just wonder, how do I get out of this self defeating battle with fear?

And realistically, how hard is it to get consistent coaching clients? I ran a beta so I have a couple of testimonials, but from what I've seen, you need to convince people to work with you, hence all the scripts being sold as part of business coaching!

The thing I want the most is location freedom, the ability to pack my back and leave whenever and go to wherever without hesitation due to money!
