Why join the Collective?
Most heart-centered women and men find it hard to charge their worth & grow rapidly, even though making money HELPS people. There can be a lot of guilt when we want to make a difference in the world but also charge for it. However being financially secure whilst doing what you love is actually a fantastic thing.
Some of us can also undervalue ourselves at times and this can usually come from a lack of self love or self limiting beliefs as well as social conditioning. Emily will delve into some self development work at the start of the course on topics such as self love and self awareness which is essential for attracting abundance and creating a successful conscious business.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MENTOR AND A COACH, AND HOW DO I KNOW WHICH ONE IS BEST FOR ME?
A mentor and coach are very different. The main difference is that a mentor has ‘walked in your shoes’. Your mentor Emily has started, managed and grown her own successful business and understands the small-business point of view. Traditionally, a coach is good at holding you to your goals, however they don’t necessarily come from their own experience though, as a mentor does.
WHAT ROLE SHOULD A MENTOR PLAY?
A mentor is someone who’s been places that you’re planning on going in business — someone who has experience in the areas that to you are uncharted. It’s their wisdom and ‘experience’ that you will be calling on. Emily will be giving her best advice on how she came to find her purpose and create a successful conscious and sustainable business.

Is the EKOMindful Collective right for me?
If you’re an ecopreneur or soulpreneur, an artist, a maker, a creative, a coach, a teacher, a healer, a writer or a business person who likes to do things from the heart and is ready for their business to move to the next level without sacrificing doing what you’re passionate about then… THIS IS FOR YOU.

Charishma Eggers
Entrepreneur
“Emily inspired/helped me with starting up my online store. I never thought I would be able to ever achieve anything like having an online store especially with the cost of getting a professional to build my website.
Emily was determined to help me start my own business. Emily introduced me to Shopify and helped me step by step on creating my website. She was so patient and supportive every step along the way. Nothing was impossible. If there was something in particular I wanted to add and couldn’t work out Emily wouldn’t give up until she found a solution.
I was sure I drove Emily nuts with all my questions and especially when I got stuck, however Emily never made me feel like I was stupid or like here we go again! She was awesome and I couldn’t have asked for a more amazing mentor than Emily. Since then I’ve had the confidence to build my new business website with no trouble and also opened up my own physical boutique store as a result.
Because of Emily’s love, support and kindness, I have been able to pass on my knowledge and help other up and coming small businesses with building and creating websites for them.
I will never be able to thank Emily enough. Thank you for being part of my journey and my story”.
