Launching.
Every great flight starts here.
You’ve got the talent. You’ve got the vision. You may have already taken some first steps. What you don’t yet have is traction . The consistent flow of the right clients and the confidence that the business model will hold. You’re also going to need systems and processes that help you stay on top of the paperwork from the very beginning.
This is the most important flight you’ll ever take. Getting it right at the beginning saves years of correction later.
Signs you are in the Launching stage
- You know what you want to do and you’re good at it; but you’re not yet sure how to turn it into a sustainable business
- You’re getting some work, mostly through personal connections. It’s inconsistent and you don’t know how to make it reliable
- You find yourself undercharging, either because you’re not sure what the market will pay or because you’re not confident to ask for what you’re worth
- You’re spending a lot of time on things that feel like business activity but aren’t generating income
- You oscillate between confident that this will work and terrified that it won’t
- You’re not sure which of the many directions available to you is the right one to focus on first
The first flight is the most important one
Kitegirl coaching at the Launching stage is about building the right foundations: clarity on your positioning, a business model that is realistic and scalable and the operational basics that let you deliver consistently without burning out.
It also means addressing the internal dimension: the confidence gaps, the imposter syndrome, the mental habits that are entirely normal at this stage and entirely fixable with the right support.
Annabelle has launched multiple businesses across different industries. She knows what the first year actually looks like from the inside and she coaches from that experience.

“I thought I knew how to set goals and achieve them but Annabelle has introduced me to new and powerful practices relating to goal setting with extraordinary results. I thought I was a fairly positive person too but Annabelle showed me how easily and regularly I was sabotaging myself just by the way I thought.
Her consistent focus was on the future. What can we do today to bring about the future you want tomorrow? It’s so easy to let ourselves off the hook, to let that dream go, to put off the practical endeavour which would bring about the outcomes we’re looking for.”
