The coven Membership

… BUT WHY JOIN OUR COMMUNITY?

I want to help you achieve YOUR goals, make money and be *successful*, whatever that means to you. Starting a business, a side hustle, going freelance or following your passions can be a lonely and isolating path... I’ve spent many days WERE the only person I’ve spoken to is my dog (and she is not much of a conversationalist). I get how you might be feeling and understand how effing scary heading down the entrepreneurial path is.

we are quite literally like a family. i love my coven girls to the moon and back. WE WELCOME EVERYONE, ANY TYPE OF BUSINESS, ANY TYPE OF SITUATION. THE WEIRDER THE BETTER, WE ARE ALL WEIRD HERE!

Fear no more babe. The Coven has your back.

 

Sapphire

So who runs this? My name is Sapphire and I run this bad boy. 2.5 years ago I went from having no job, spending my days drinking lukewarm Thai beer and lazing in a hammock in Northern Thailand. I had no business experience or any idea how to run a business but I started one anyway. I created a successful flower studio called The Flower Arranger. I spent hours, weeks and months avidly learning as much as possible about running a business and being a boss so that I could achieve my dreams and run a successful business.

We have some really talented members in The Coven. Each and every witch does something incredible and is working so hard to run their businesses. I’m literally like a proud mum! This candle was sent to me by Coven member Sophie who runs @boozeburnandbloom, it smells amazing and is made using an old wine bottle - HOW CLEVER IS THAT! Came with my name on too 😍 as a candle lover this made me happy, deffo bringing this to Ibiza. It’s easy to keep telling yourself that you will be happy when X happens or when you reach Y goal and Z dreams come true but the problem with this attitude when running a business is by the time you reach X, Y, and Z you then have more problems to stress over and worry about and push your happiness and enjoyment back to a later date when new goals are reached. I know when I started my flower business I pushed myself too hard and didn’t stop to appreciate the process, I though that feeling happy and proud would come later down the line once I’d got my business to a better point, pushed it further on. THIS IS A BAD ATTITUDE TO HAVE 🙅🏻‍♀️. You’ve got to enjoy the journey of starting your own business (or going freelance or climbing the career ladder) because you deserve to be happy right now. Telling yourself it’s about the end destination means you miss all the fun and enjoyment along the way. A business never reaches a finished point (unless you are applying your exit strategy or closing the business) and you could waste so many years of your life waiting to reach a point that might never come. Learn to enjoy and love the journey, both the ups and the downs - it’s all part of the process. Nobody enjoys every single day of running a business because it can be stressful and more things go wrong that we’d like to admit but you can celebrate the small wins, celebrate the fact you’ve cone as far you have and celebrate the fact that you are even doing this crazy thing in the first place... so many people only dream of doing it yet here you are. Enjoy the journey so when you are old and your life has been lived you can feel like you let yourself enjoy it. OK if you watched my insta stories last night you would have seen that I posted that I’d signed something very exciting. You probably know that I’ve been hunting for a flat up North for ages and I was struggling to find one when an opportunity came up somewhere totally different and I’m always encouraging you girls to do the things that most scare you because they are usually the things that will bring you the most happiness. SO on the 31st December I will be moving to Ibiza 🙏🏼 ... I will still be back and forth to the UK all the time because I have weddings next year and I want to still run the occasional meet up for you all. There’s no definite plan to stay there as my lease is only till the end of Winter season but it’s going to be home for now. Feeling pretty blessed and excited and nervous. 3 years ago when I started my flower business I was in Thailand and the dream was always to at some point be in a position again where I could work abroad again and the time has finally come 😭. Giving up my very expensive flower studio has put me in a position where I can afford to finally move out. The same money I’ve been paying to live here means that I can afford an apartment in Ibiza which is pretty crazy. I’m so excited because the last three years have been an absolute slog to get to this point. I’ve remained living at home and threw everything into my flower business and The Coven - it was definitely no over night success so to be in a position to finally do what I’ve always wanted feels just surreal and especially when I’m going to be waking up to this view every day 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼. Feel pretty blessed to have met Ksenia who always runs a business @almondblossomibiza and to be renting an apartment from someone so lovely 🙏🏼🙏🏼 SIDE NOTE: Coven wise everything is going to run completely as normal I’ll just be working from coffee shops and beach side cafes for a while. 👆🏼 the annoying truth is if you want things to happen you HAVE to show up and make them happen. It is all well and good having sat there and getting your mindset right, your intentions and dreamed up all your big goals (these are valuable things to do) but babe if you don’t show up - it’s still not gonna happen. DO NOT LET YOURSELF BE YOUR BIGGEST OBSTACLE, be strict with yourself and do the work that needs to be doing. It can be confusing sometimes because social media shows us everyone’s highlight reel, their carefully curated ‘best bits’ and it can appear as though the good sh*t came easily to them, they just ate nice brunches and all the orders and bookings and speaking events flooded in. Nu Uh 🙅🏻‍♀️ nobody wants to show you the tough times and late nights because they don’t make for a very pretty picture but TRUST me when I say they had to work hard to get where they are, you just didn’t see it. You can still be a dreamer but a dreamer who makes it happen is a powerful combo. Afternoon lovers - it’s your last week to get yourself one of our gift cards. Treat yourself, treat your bestie or your S/O by investing in their future for Christmas. I’m so excited for what we have planned in The Coven for 2019. Be a part of it. 🔥 (hit the shop to purchase)
