Making a living doing what you love can be fun and fulfilling, but it’s not all sunshine and lollipops, is it?
There’s so much to juggle, it’s not surprising that so many smart, savvy business owners end up distracted, procrastinating and spinning their wheels.
Does any of this feel familiar?
You have a million things on your to-do list that don’t get done because there’s never enough time
You dash from one thing to the next, dealing with whatever’s in front of you, flying by the seat of your pants.
You get to the end of the day and fixate on all the things you didn’t get done.
You’re fed up of faffing and frittering away your time.
It’s horrible, isn’t it?
Feeling that way for too long can really do a number on your confidence and self-belief (not great when you have a business to run!)
Now, imagine how things will be different when...
You're ticking things off your list and seeing yourself making progress every single month
You’re able to think more clearly and creatively, and move through your days feeling calm, focused, and in-flow
You’re able to enjoy your downtime, without feeling guilty
Wouldn’t it be amazing to feel ‘on it’ every day, knowing you’re in the driving seat of your business and your life?
But alas, you’re not there yet!
And you can’t understand why you’re STILL struggling to get things done, when everyone else seems to have figured it out.
And it’s not as if you haven’t made an effort!
You’ve tried:
Planners, project management tools and apps
Accountability and mindset support from coaches, business pals, family and friends
Productivity hacks like time blocking, scheduling every minute of every day, and joining the 5am club (even when you know deep down you’re a night owl)
Free stuff that promises to help you get organised, in the hope that one day something will click.
But none of it worked.
And now you’re starting to wonder if there’s something wrong with you. (There isn’t, I promise.)
Does that all sound about right?
Yes?
I’m so glad you’re here!
Could Make It Happen Club be the thing that will finally help you nail this productivity malarkey once and for all?
Read on, and let’s find out!
“I have never achieved so much since being in Make It Happen Club”
Janine Coombes, Sales and Marketing Coach
So, what exactly IS Make It Happen Club?
It’s a quiet, calm online sanctuary where I guide you to make decisions about what to focus on, and to turn those decisions into a realistic action plan (not just a long list of things to do).
We meet once a quarter and once a month to create spacious, flexible, achievable plans that will help you stay focused and get stuff done.
I bring my proven planning process, you bring your vision, passion and ideas, and by the end of every session you’ll have a clear direction for the month ahead.
You won’t believe what you can accomplish when you’re feeling in control and have that level of clarity!
Because Make it Happen Club is so simple and unique, it can be hard to wrap your head around if you haven’t experienced it first-hand.
So do you fancy a sneaky peek behind the curtain?
Watch this ‘ere video to get a feel for what it’s all about!
Now, I know what you might be thinking…
“Is this really something I should invest my time and money in? Can’t I just do it myself?”
Let me ask you a question:
Are you getting all the things you want to do, done?
It’s one thing to know the theory. I mean, we all know you need to break things down into small steps. But knowing that, and actually making it work for you, are two very different things.
And like it or not, sometimes we need someone else to hold the space for this work and to guide us through the process. Because that’s when you give it the time it needs, not just once, but every single month.
Every time we gather in Make It Happen Club you get to:
Check in with what you want your life to look like
Pay your fabulous ideas a visit – are any ready to be brought out into the light?
Make conscious choices about how you’re spending your time, and
Break big things down into teeny tiny action steps so you can keep making progress towards your goals.
Let’s face it. If free resources or DIY-ing it were going to work, they’d have worked for you by now, right?
Investing in space to plot, plan and prioritise the things that matter most in your business (and your life) really is a game changer.
How do I know? Because people tell me!
Look at what Heather and Lois said about their experience in the Club…
What’s inside Make It Happen Club?
Make It Happen Club gives you the guidance you need to get organised, prioritise the tasks that will truly make a difference, and make a plan to get the important stuff done every month for a whole year.
During your first month in the club we’ll have a 15-minute call, just you and me, talking about your business, your vision, your goals, and perhaps your favourite flavour of crisps…this is our chance to get to know each other better!
Then, here’s where the magic happens…
Big Idea to Inspired Action Quarterly Planning Sessions
Decide what you’d love to accomplish during the coming three months, and create a plan to get it done.
At the start of every quarter I’ll guide you through a gentle process that invites you to:
Check in with your vision
Choose which projects and ideas you’re ready to commit to
Map out a plan for the coming three months.
Our quarterly planning sessions put you back in the driving seat, so you can be sure the action you’re taking is moving you in the right direction.
These 90-minute sessions usually take place on a Tuesday, once a quarter. You can choose to join us at either 10-11.30am or 4-5.30pm UK time.
Monthly Momentum Planning Sessions
Lift your head above the weeds, check in with the bigger picture and break projects down into manageable steps that’ll keep you taking action.
We meet every month to create a flexible plan you’ll actually follow. You will…
Celebrate, reflect and review last month
Look at your capacity (time AND energy)
Choose which goals, projects and tasks get your time, energy and attention this month
Break everything down into manageable action steps
You’ll leave with a flexible plan in your hands, so you can roll up your sleeves and start taking action right away.
These 90-minute sessions are usually on the last Thursday of every month, at 4.00-5.30pm UK time.
Quarterly Make It Happen Implementation Sessions
Finding time to work on your big projects can be tricky. That’s why we gather together for three-hours once a quarter to focus and get stuff done.
Here’s how it works:
You share what you’re working on
Then you get your head down and quietly crack on
If you need to talk something through, we hop into a breakout room for a quick chat
After three hours, we regroup and celebrate what you got done!
You’ll leave each implementation session having made progress towards your goals, and feeling smug about all you’ve accomplished. 😉
These 3-hour sessions happen once a quarter. You can choose to join us at either 9.30am or 2.30pm UK time.
And it works!
“What’s amazing is that when I look back at the end of the quarter, I have more or less done all the things I set out to do. There is no other planning approach I have ever experienced where that is true.”
Susan Fielden, School Finance Expert
Hello! I’m Louise and I’m on a mission to change the world by helping YOU change the world.
Since starting my business in 2016 I’ve met countless coaches, consultants and community-builders who have big ideas but are stuck on the hamster wheel and find it hard to get the most important things done.
And I started to spot a pattern…
When things felt chaotic and overwhelming, they’d grab a fresh sheet of paper and empty their brain onto a new to-do list. Which they’d then try and get done by teatime.
Only that doesn’t work, because whilst their new list might be lovely and tidy, it doesn’t have magical powers to help them stay focused and give them ten more hours in the day. So more often that not, they’re just as overwhelmed as they were before. Only now they’re also feeling like a failure.
It looks a little something like this:
I couldn’t bear seeing people putting themselves through this time and time again, staying stuck in the cycle of doom, when to me the answer was clear:
The reason those brilliant business owners kept getting in a pickle was because they weren’t giving themselves enough space.
Space to think. Space to breathe. Space away from the distractions and the noise, to plot, plan and prioritise what’s most important in their work and in their life.
And so I created Make It Happen Club in November 2020, and it’s been helping coaches, community-builders, web designers, finance experts, humanitarian workers, consultants, therapists and many other solo business owners ever since!
There’s something important you need to know about Make It Happen Club…
This is not yet another community.
It’s also not a learning space.
There’s NO Facebook group. No live training sessions, no group Q&As, no networking and no masterminding.
Why? Because you’ve got enough on your plate already.
Make It Happen Club is designed to help you get the important stuff done …
NOT give you more to do.
(Ah, the relief!)
The only voice you’ll hear is mine; this is about YOU and your business, not what everyone else is doing.
That means you don’t need to worry about ‘performing’ and there’s no distracting chit-chat during our planning sessions.
Quite simply, Make It Happen Club will help you get the important stuff done (but without all the hype and hustle).
It’s a rare opportunity to sit quietly in the bubble of your own business, every month, for a whole year.
What I do isn’t rocket science. But I’ve been told it’s witchcraft. Because you’ll notice the lift in your motivation and momentum for weeks after each session, even though my methods are simple.
The calm vibe of Make It Happen Club will slow your thinking and soothe your frazzled brain, but it’s also highly practical. You’ll leave each session with a plan that’ll keep you focused and taking action throughout the month.
Don’t just take my word for it!
Here’s how Make It Happen Club has helped Vie, Melina and Susan …
Ok, this sounds great! What happens now?
Make It Happen Club opens to new members at the start of each quarter.
Why? Because Because I know that joining us at the start of the quarter gives you the best experience and sets you up for success. It means you’ll do your quarterly planning first, which in turn will give your monthly planning a greater sense of purpose and focus.

Not quite sure if Make It Happen Club is for you?
This will be great for you if…
You’re self-employed, with choice and control around what you’re doing and when.
You’re an introvert or an extrovert. Introverts; you’ll enjoy the quiet environment and lack of distractions. Extroverts; you’ll benefit hugely from taking time out for yourself and your business.
You want to feel confident and on-it, like a proper, grown-up business owner!
This is NOT for you if…
You love the hustle mentality and want to work All The Hours. That’s not how I roll, so this might not be a good fit!
You’re not sure how to move your business forward. (This won't provide you with business strategy or sales and marketing support.)
You’re looking for someone to tell you what to do. (The planning process will guide you to make your own decisions.)
If you’ve read this far, you might be thinking:
“Nothing else I’ve tried has worked. Why should this be any different?”
Because in Make It Happen Club we do things differently!
The gentle process I’ve created gives you just-enough structure and guidance to keep you focused and taking action, whilst leaving plenty of room for you to find what works for YOU.
But don’t be fooled by its simplicity! This flexible, expansive approach works. And it works precisely because I give you the space and freedom to make it your own.
Imagine how it will feel to have a calm, quiet space in your diary every single month that’s just for YOU and your business.
Where you can figure out what you’re going to focus on, and create a plan to make that happen.
Think of everything you’ll get done when instead of spinning in your chair or flitting around all over the place, you’re using your time wisely and taking action on the right things!
Exciting, isn’t it?
Join us now and imagine what you’ll have accomplished by this time next year!

What people say
“As much as I was looking forward to joining Make It Happen Club, I was also dreading it. My past experience with planning has been either I get stuck in the actual planning phase, or I map everything out and come up with all sorts of plans and intentions, and then ignore them.
But the process in Make It Happen Club feels so spacious and freeing, I felt a difference right away and was able to schedule things into my calendar and actually get them done!
By the end of my first month in the club, I’d completed most things on my list. I quite surprised myself by how much I’d achieved.
If like me you’ve struggled with planning, read the books, done the courses, set yourself up with all the software only to abandon them a few months later, you’ll love Make It Happen Club.
There’s something about Louise’s gentle energy and tailored approach that magically makes it work.”
“Make It Happen Club isn’t ‘5 steps to success!’ or ‘supercharge your planning with this easy hack’ - ten minutes on Google will get you plenty of that.
What Louise does is much more powerful and effective. The quiet, methodical, and meditative space she provided each session gave me a lasting clarity of purpose that carried me through the month.”
Ash Jackson, Tech Boffin“A beautifully held space where my heart rate always goes down and I just start to speak more slowly, to think more slowly, creatively, helpfully. I really look forward to it. I know my frazzled, scrambled brain will feel different afterwards.
The whole thing feels like I’m giving myself permission to take the space I need to do my best work. I would highly recommend it to anyone who finds themselves feeling frazzled, not focusing, unable to get their ideas straight – Make It Happen Club is the place to be.”
Katie Duckworth, Leadership Coach“I REALLY enjoyed the session - I’ve done other sessions like this where it’s so noisy and overwhelming - this felt just right for me & gave me space to think. You have a very calming presence.”
Tracey Rissik, The Simple Web Company“The beautifully held space and quiet energy means I can drop in and listen to what I know I need to prioritise. I love that we’re supported to actually get our plan done there and then on the call, and to go away with a kind and supportive plan that feels good.”
Rionach Aiken, Visibility Mentor“I’ll be there for our next session, after one of the most productive months I’ve had in ages - and it felt doable, gentle and kind!”
Morag YoungFrequently Asked Questions
Why should I join Make It Happen Club when there are so many other things I could invest in right now?
But I’m already so busy! This feels like a luxury I don’t have time for!
(OK, that's not technically a question! But I know it’s what you might be thinking…!)
-
The process I guide you through isn’t specific to running a business - it’s about helping you use your time wisely, whatever your situation. However, Make It Happen Club might not work so well for you if you have a role that’s very reactive. We’re making choices about what to focus on during the month, so it’s best if you have some autonomy and control over how you’re spending your time.
