In this quick tip episode, Fiona digs into a behaviour she sees all the time in small business — self-sabotage. From saying you want more media exposure to turning opportunities down because you “don’t feel ready,” this episode is a reality check wrapped in encouragement. Fiona shares real examples, practical questions to ask yourself and why fear might be stopping you from the growth you’re craving.

What You’ll Learn

• Why so many small business owners unknowingly block their own opportunities
• The difference between saying no because something isn’t aligned and saying no because you’re scared
• How to accept PR, podcast and media opportunities before you feel “ready”
• Simple questions to ask yourself to stop self-sabotage
• Why feeling nervous is normal (even for experienced people) and how to act anyway
• How small, brave yeses create visibility, connections and growth
