Hurdling Barriers
Julie Creffield is a no-nonsense business strategist and community engagement expert from East London who helps small business owners to get traction in their business by showing them how to build community into everything they do.
She has over 20 years of experience with building engaging communities around creative ideas and understands the POWER of creating powerful movements others want to be part of.
In addition to helping entrepreneurs, Julie is the author of 8 books, an international speaker, and the owner of two highly-successful businesses.
Her superpower is helping entrepreneurs and small business owners bridge the gap between their creative ideas and taking direct, sustained, and massive action and activating their tribes.
When she’s not helping clients achieve their goals, she can often be found spending time with her family and training for marathons.
Julie joins me today to discuss why she is passionate about helping her clients build and activate their tribes and shares a few tips on how to develop your own engaged community.
She explains the dangers of getting bogged down with tech when creating your group instead of focusing on your overarching message and where you want to take them.
She describes how she created a six-figure business out of a running blog and shares why the concept of being kind is so close to her heart. Julie also why she feels it is vital to take time to look after your own mental health in tricky times and what she does to safeguard her own wellbeing.
“Some of the biggest barriers are those that we have in our own heads.”
