Uncertainty can have us feeling like we’ve stepped into a big muddy puddle… or, at worst, a puddle of excrement.
(Anyone seen Dirty water? Shocking.)

If you’re in that messy middle right now — where clarity is missing and confidence is wobbling — my latest Let’s Get On With It newsletter is for you. It’s all about why uncertainty feels so uncomfortable (thanks, brain), what it does to confidence, and a few practical, evidence-based ways to steady yourself.

It also includes more of my (Giving Back) free March/April session dates, mainly aimed at NHS, public sector folks, but open to anyone it would help- so please do come along or share with anyone that would benefit.

If the old thing is ending or ended … but the new thing hasn’t properly started yet — welcome to the Neutral Zone. William Bridges calls it the in-between phase of transition. I call it: the grey, weird waiting room of life, where nothing quite fits, your confidence wobbles, and your tolerance...

Thinking about starting your own business… but not sure where to begin?

I’m having more and more conversations with experienced professionals — particularly from the NHS and public sector — who are:

• Brilliant at what they do
• Tired of the system
• Curious about consultancy or portfolio careers
• And quietly wondering… “Could I actually do this?”

When I was made redundant with a 30+ year NHS leadership career, I had experience, credibility and contacts.

What I didn’t have?
Clarity.
Confidence.
Or a clear roadmap.

Loads of people have asked how I got started- That’s exactly why I created my 6-Week Starting Your Own Business Programme.

This isn’t a hype course.
It’s not “manifest your millions.” It’s grounded, and practical, yes you’ll have homework.

Over six weeks we cover:

✔️ The identity shift from employee to business owner
✔️ Defining a clear offer (without trying to do everything)
✔️ Understanding your ideal customer
✔️ Testing your idea in small, low-risk ways
✔️ Business basics — pricing, structure, financial clarity
✔️ Visibility with confidence
✔️ A realistic action plan

And because I don’t believe you should have to work everything out alone…

Five experienced professionals I know and trust will be joining us across the programme to share practical insight and answer questions, including:

• An accountant
• A marketing specialist
• An insurance advisor
• A branding expert
• An IT specialist

No overwhelm.
No jargon.
Just the things you genuinely need to know — from people who do this every day.

It blends business foundations with behaviour change science — because mindset matters just as much as mechanics.

If you’re experienced and thoughtful, but feeling stuck at the “I think I could…” stage, this is designed for you.

I’m running a short online session explaining exactly what the programme includes, how it works, and who it’s for.

No pressure.
No awkward selling.
Just clarity so you can decide if it’s right for you.

Comment INFO, message me directly or ping me an email jo@letsgetonwithit.co.uk and I’ll send the details.

You don’t need to have it all figured out.

You just need to be willing to test what’s possible.

Let’s get on with it.
Please do share if you know anyone that might be interested.
