The Leanne O'Sullivan Backstory

Leanne O'Sullivan, Wife, Mother, Business Owner, Digital Strategist, Blogger, Psychology student

My story about why I started this business has a good ending, but like a lot of online stories it doesn't haven't a great start.

Because just like many of you, business owners who have children who eat, grow and need Christmas presents and 'things' - my husband and I were under loads of stress - like loads.

• No cash

• Not enough cash

• Too much debt

• Business struggling from feast to famine

• Too many wrong clients - not enough good clients

• HR issues - staff in the wrong spots, wrong staff, no delegation

Not to mention the impact this had on our 3 children and all the mother guilt that goes with that.

Nodding your head?

Cracking under pressure

After carrying this load for far too long, I just cracked.

Cracked under the pressure of doing all the things, for all the people, all the time.

I was diagnosed with a serious case of depression and my psychologist thought I had most likely been suffering from depression for several years.

Sound familiar?

It took a long time for me to look at what I had been doing and why it was just not working.  I was cranky and frustrated with so many people - my husband, my kids, my team and my clients. The people I supposedly wanted to help.

It was just a big mess.

But, there is only thing to do with a big mess, clean it up.

• By planning

• By creating a structure that I followed to the letter and

• By letting go of the things that didn't matter

I needed to step back to look at the big picture. 

I learned to delegate to my team. I learnt to trust my team. I looked at what I could outsource or resource better.

I set about creating a training program that would pull all I had learnt, knew, implemented and taught to my clients over 18 years of digital marketing and I packaged it into a program.

We tested it on our own business. It was a little scary.

You know what happened next?

Magic happened.

Our cashflow improved, we paid off our debt, our team was less stressed, our clients were happier and we were confident to walk away from clients who were creating stress for us. We started to charge what we knew we were worth and not feel like a hostage to the market. 

I knew I had hit on the magic mix that would make sense to other small business owners like you.

For me it was a path to happiness, not because our business turned a significant corner and we were making more money, but that I felt confident and in charge of running my business again - the right way.

The happy ending

The changes I have seen in myself, my family and my business in the last 3 years have been nothing short of miraculous. I went from a cranky, crazy women to a women back at the top of her game.

I knew I had to share how it was done and so the Summit School programs were born.  They are designed for people like you and here is where you can find out about them.

And that's my story - and I want to make that your story too ( without the horrible depression part)
