Joining us today is the amazing Maeve Ferguson, CEO of Maeve Ferguson Coaching, an online coaching business that helps women build their own online service business and get consistent high ticket clients. Maeve is also a number 1 international bestselling author and a motivational speaker.

Maeve is an entrepreneur from North Ireland who managed to rebuild her life after a long term illness. She is a qualified accountant with an undergraduate degree in equine science and a master’s in management and corporate governance. She previously held a senior corporate role in the private equity industry and was responsible for running a team of almost 50 people.

However, due to her catching a virus, her type A personality and her tendency to overdo work, training and pushing herself to the limit, she became very ill and had to spend the next four years mostly housebound. She recovered and returned to her corporate job but soon realized that she needed to live life on her own terms. So she set up her own online service business and now helps women around the world do the same.

She developed an online coaching programme called The High Ticket Formula, that helps others build their own online service business and get consistent high ticket clients. Find how you too can build a business on your own terms and live your dream life by scheduling a call with Maeve here.

INTRODUCTION

PLEASE TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF AND THE BUSINESS YOU STARTED?

I am Maeve, I am 37 and from Northern Ireland. I run my own online business and I help women build their own online service businesses and get consistent high ticket clients so that they can live life on their own terms.

I was in a senior corporate role before in the private equity industry and am a qualified accountant. I did my undergrad degree in equine science and my master’s degree in management and corporate governance.

I am married to my wonderful husband and we are expecting our first baby. I live my dream life on our horse farm, all possible because of my online coaching business.

THE JOURNEY SO FAR

PLEASE DESCRIBE THE PROCESS OF LAUNCHING YOUR BUSINESS.

I spent years dreaming and thinking and planning but had no big idea. Little did I know you don’t need an ‘idea,’ you simply need to ask the market what they want and then build your service offering around that!
