Simone Lord is the General Manager of Business Growth Mindset, a company through which she provides coaching, mentoring and workshop facilitations amongst being an integral part of the internal operations of the organization. Simone initially embarked on a career in corporate services, however the demands of corporate life, coupled with personal challenges, led her to seek a change and start her own business.
Simone shares, “Juggling a young family with a workplace that was going through huge cultural shifts and a toxic environment was overwhelming.”
Seeking solace, Simone found refuge in starting her own business in health and fitness, which eventually paved the way for her transition into business coaching. She recalls, “My husband planted the seed to start my fitness business so I could do something I loved and get out of corporate life.”
Simone’s coaching journey took an unexpected turn when she ventured into her fitness business just before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. She describes this period as challenging, saying, “I had started as an amazing little business that I had almost maxed my capacity of clients in just 12 weeks.”
With the pandemic, Simone had to pivot quickly to adapt to the online fitness space. With all the lockdowns through COVID-19 Simone was unable to trade for long periods of time. Needing to find new outlets of financial survival, Simone found fulfillment in becoming a business coach inside a personal development community.
“It became an evolution of self-development and giving back at the same time, and it was amazing! I really loved what I was doing, and I was really good at it too.” She explains.
Soon after, Simone’s path crossed with Kristian Livolsi, a renowned expert in strategic business advisory and growth mindsets, which proved to be a turning point in her career. Kristian offered Simone a unique opportunity to work with him for free inside his corporate social responsibility program, guiding her to transform her fitness business in just 12 weeks.
“Kristian designed a brand new model for my business that saw me 4x my revenue in just 4 months – and I was working less than 3 hours per day.” Simone explains, after being impressed by Kristian’s approach to business success, she accepted an offer to join the team at Business Growth Mindset, for which she is now the General Manager.
