Mindset Mastery Facilitator for Solopreneurs

I support solopreneur women in growing their businesses with the power of their mindset or developing an entrepreneurial mindset when they convert from employees to solopreneurs. I use a complex approach to mindset mastery and we look at all the potential internal blocks that stop solopreneur women from setting bold business goals, living a balanced life, planning and executing their plans, being visible, taking consistent and effective action to grow their business, managing their time and developing productive habits.

Based on my experience in transitioning from employed HR management and organisational development consultant and trainer to freelancer HR expert, and later to solopreneur coach and trainer as well as the personal development modalities, techniques and tools I learnt in training courses and my experience in life coaching and personal development training, I offer a palette of personalised tools and techniques and use a complex approach to mindset mastery where we look at all the potential internal blocks that stop solopreneur women from setting bold business goals, living a balanced life, planning and executing their plans, being visible, taking consistent and effective action to grow their business, managing their time and developing productive habits.

While working on myself and coaching others, I developed a process for releasing and changing limiting beliefs and making the newly developed beliefs sustainable. Now I am ready to share with those who go through the same struggles and challenges and feel stuck, dissatisfied and unfulfilled in their business or want to start a solopreneur business after decades of working as employees.

If you are confronted with doubts and fears or lack clarity in life and business, if you procrastinate taking action to start or grow your solopreneur business, most likely the roots of your problems are in your mindset. These problems and challenges can be overcome and dreams can be turned into reality with the right mindset and attitude. When you change your beliefs and disempower fears it becomes easier to set clear and bold goals, change your habits, sustain your motivation, focus on what you want, set priorities and boundaries, and take consistent and efficient actions to achieve them.

When working with me, you can benefit from personalised services or group learning experiences using processes I developed over the years and a blend of personal development, self-management and mindset-changing tools and techniques.

Problems you can solve with my support:

  • Clarify your business mission and vision and harmonise them into your life strategy.
  • Align your business with your values.
  • Develop an entrepreneurial growth mindset.
  • Overcome fears and limiting beliefs and increase your self-confidence.
  • Change employee mindset into entrepreneurial mindset.
  • Change your attitude toward life and work.
  • Stop overthinking and procrastination and take consistent and effective action to achieve your goals.

Among others, you can learn to apply three specific methodologies or processes I developed, covering most of the topics mentioned above:

  1. Use the I-A.D.D.R.E.S.S. Limiting Beliefs Process to clear your limiting beliefs and develop empowering ones instead,
  2. Use the B.E.F.R.E.E. Process to change your self-talk and facilitate your mindset shift to achieve your work-related goals.
  3. The Phoenix Path Process to develop your Personal Strategy (core values, life purpose, life vision, long-term goals and strategic plan).

About my name: My name is Csilla Pataki, but in an English-speaking environment, I use the name Estelle, one of the possible translations of my Hungarian first name, Csilla. Because it is easier for English speakers to pronounce and I love how it sounds, I consistently use Estelle when working in English. 

Note: I do not provide business counselling for solopreneurs. All my one-to-one and group programmes are related to personal development, especially mindset issues, helping clients grow their businesses.
