'10 Minute Tip' by Vikki Amour - Small Business Owner Coach - 7am until 9:30am
In 2018 Vikki Amour stood in front of her mirror and thought “there HAS to be more to life than this?” She was burned out, overworked, stressed and unfulfilled.
From the age of 18 Vikki worked as a bookkeeper and then accountant. She started running her own bookkeeping and accountancy businesses in 2010. Vikki worked closely with entrepreneurs, sole traders and small to medium sized business owners alongside doing their accounts. She helped them to plan for their future through strategic planning, financial forecasting and goal setting.
Vikki then trained as a coach. Through coaching business owners she realised how her previous experience added so much more value to her coaching. When Vikki sits down with her clients and starts strategic planning and goal setting she has years of experience doing this in a financial setting. Let’s be honest you can have the biggest goals in the world but if your business model doesn’t back it up then there’s not a lot of chance you’re going to hit those goals!
One of the many things Vikki has learned throughout her career is how important it is that a business owner is supported. You need help to be clear on what you want your business to achieve and the direction you and you’re business are going in.
Vikki experienced the huge difference the tools and techniques she’d learnt from coaching made to her own life and business. She’s also reaped massive benefits through being coached herself. That inspired her to set up and run AMOUR Coaching.
Vikki helps StartUps and Small Business Owners that want, and most importantly are ready, to commit and make changes and transformations in their businesses. She has also delivered online courses including Business Start Up Boot Camp, Introduction to Financial Goal Setting and Cashflow101 to over 370 students in 52 countries.
Vikki works best with Start up and small businesses up to a £1m turnover from one person bands up to teams of 30. She’s achieved great results with IT professionals, Trades companies, Plumbers, Electricians, Cleaning companies, Pest Control and other Coaches. She has good experience with people offering personal services like hairdressers, spa services and businesses that work on either hourly or service based costing models.

About the conversation:
Discover what your mindset can do for you and your business
Have you ever heard the saying “Whether you believe you can or believe you can’t, you’re always right”? If you believe you can you’re at least half way to achieving it.
The words you use when you’re thinking about your situation can either be the super glue that keeps you stuck exactly where you are or, the rocket fuel that propels you to where you want to be.
Have you heard about the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset? What does that mean for you and your business or your career?
Since 2020 life has been tough for most people and in particular, small business owners like you. You’ve had to embrace changes & challenges and persevere which is a growth mindset. Some small business owners that struggled to adapt and found it easier to give up and blame the circumstances which is a fixed mindset. They didn’t embrace the changes, try something new or adapt themselves or their business.
Making yourself aware of when you’re looking at a situation from a fixed mindset will help make a conscious decision to change your mindset and try something new.
What you focus on and the words you use to empower or disempower yourself will affect your mindset and in turn your life and the business you run. If you always focus on everything that is wrong in your life and business then you'll close your mind to potential opportunities. In some situations, you’ve written them off before trying. You should be focusing on where you want to get; the end goal. Start taking small steps every day towards your end goal and you’ll be far more open to opportunities and growth along the way.
What will you get from Vikki Amour's 10 Minute Tip? You’ll become far more aware of how easily you can make any situation feel worse by only focusing on all the bad things that may be happening around you. That will damage you and your small business or career. Vikki will help you develop strategies to avoid a fixed mindset when you’re having a bad day/week/month. You’ll be able to move swiftly to a growth mindset.
