Excerpts from What If?

Take a listen to my podcast episode where I share a little of the journey I took in writing the book. I also read  some key pieces from the book that will give you a flavour of what to expect. I hope you enjoy. 

Take a Listen as I Read a Little From What If?
What If Joy was how you measured success and the money proved you right.

What readers are saying

“This is a book that pulls no punches. It’s human, real and true. Finola is a fantastical hybrid of the mentor you never knew you needed and the BFF you wish you had. She sees your potential yet calls you out when you sell yourself short. She draws attention to your ambition and capacity, yet makes it clear that “success is not a passive endeavour.” So, this is a book filled with action. In it, Finola first invites you and then takes you on a journey towards success - YOUR very own version of success.”

Gillian Fallon, Writing for Thought Leaders, Scale Ups and C Suite Executives

 

“What If?” is no ordinary book. It’s a love letter to that part deep inside of us that yearns for expansion.

The book felt so connected that, at times, I wasn’t sure if I was hearing the voice of Finola or the whispers of my own soul.

A beautifully written book that I will revisit again and again. Because that’s the thing about expansion. It’s an ongoing process. If we allow it to be."

Marina Branigan, Operations Partner for Brilliant Consultants and Coaches

 

"As a seasoned and successful business owner, mentor and community builder, Finola has blazed a red lipped trail and now stands, arms outstretched, ready to take you by the hand so that you can climb to a better place where the view is breathtaking and the air is sweet to breathe.

This book is a map, it is a manifesto and it is an essential companion for every person brave enough to listen to their own 'what if' whisper."

Sally Murphy, Author, TEDxwomen Speaker, Business Storyteller

I offer this book as a thoughtful guide on your journey to success.

A guide through the limiting self-talk that you can choose to poke at and reframe for yourself.

Not sure if you need a guide? Okay, here are three statements I heard myself say at one point in my life and they have been echoed by so many other entrepreneurs I’ve met or worked with over the years. Do you see yourself in any of these?

  • I’m not sure I even want the success that I know is possible for me. 
  • I’m afraid that I might have to compromise who I am to get it. 
  • I’m just one person. How could I possibly make a difference in the world?

But you can make that difference and you are meant to make it. We are all meant to.

I invite you to embrace the fullness of who you are, to hear your own voice sharing your truth with the world as I have done with this book. I invite you to expand into YOU.

And when you read "What If?" you will:

  1. Stop being afraid of being vulnerable enough to show your full self; the one you haven’t fully met yourself yet. You’ll realise that this is a rite of passage for all of us in business and you’ll embrace what comes next. 

  2. Realise that the only permission you need is already yours to give and once you’ve given yourself that permission a whole new world will open up to you. You will take action that embodies this new belief in yourself and you will finally walk the path you choose. 

  3. Understand that the greatest leaps are made firstly when we remove friction and secondly when we introduce joy and purpose. You’ll start to challenge the old rules for how you navigate the path to next level success and you’ll do it with a smile on your face. 

And then a whole new world will open up to you. Don’t wait. Give that gift to yourself.

"Finola’s book is a treasure, standing out by its raw, vulnerable journey into the heart of personal and professional growth.
