Meet your coach: Viola Hug

Hi I’m Viola, but you can call me V.

Like you, I’m a visionary and a bit of a rebel to the system. When I was told to get a good job, I started a business. When I was told to be realistic, I set bigger goals. When I was scared for my future as an entrepreneur, I went in even bigger. Why? Because I’ve also always felt that call I was meant for big things.

In 2018 after 5 years as a “struggling entrepreneur” I started my coaching business on pure vision, determination, and a promise to make it something that 100% felt good and fun in every way. In previous businesses I had gotten so used to following systems, duplication, and just “doing what needed to be done” that I was burnt out, and my soul was telling me another version of success was available to me.

My first year I told massive leaps and applied all I knew and I was so proud of myself. But by the end of 2018 I found myself asking, “what if there is another level available to me?” From there I followed divine guidance, invested bigger than I had ever before, and in 2019 I celebrated a quarter of a million dollar year in my currency.

I KNOW business gets to feel amazing. I know the power of strategy, while also know it won’t ever have the impact you desire unless it is uniquely applied for who you are, your desires, your design, and aligned with what your intuition is calling you to.

Soulful Business Academy was one of my first ever programs. It has taken dozens of women from desiring their next level in business, to living it. And I am so excited to bring it back now in 2020 more potent than ever before.

See you on the inside, V xx

More love from SBA soul sisters...

Viola and her program Soulful Business Academy changed my life. She created the most beautiful, energy-charged community of likeminded women – all striving forward to reach the next goals in their life and business. She crafted a melting pot of ambition, love and the highest energy possible. This energy propelled us all forward to create and achieve incredible things – in such a short space of time – 7 weeks. After the very first supercharged welcome call I knew that this program was not ordinary. This woman was not ordinary. This was something that was going to create monumental shifts in my self belief, and in my vision for my life. The warmth, guidance, strategy, business gold and occasional tough love she gave us allowed us all to flourish each week. I just adored our calls – and looked forward to them eagerly. She also created a safe space for us to SHARE ourselves and be vulnerable – which is something that has not been easy for me in business, as I have come to this place in my career through sometimes putting on a front and pushing myself to perform a certain way. Viola unravelled this for me through her calls and weekly activities. I was able to see that ease and alignment will get one further than stress and hustle. You can create more by allowing space in your life, and not falling victim to the trap of ‘busy’ work. Your mindset, your internal language and self talk, your belief in the universe and your ability to co-create your life, your relationship with others, your relationship with money, – and your ENERGY – is everything. Viola demonstrated all of this to us in the most tangible and motivating way. Personally – these are the most significant things I achieved whilst enrolled in this epic program – - A new level of self belief, a new group of wonderful likeminded friends, a new comfortability in sharing myself and being vulnerable in my work. - I doubled my business income. - I launched a new business – a beautiful co-working space with private studios to rent in a stunning building around the corner from my home. I also FILLED it with likeminded women in a month, and covered my rent entirely (and then some) through subletting to them. - I embarked on the biggest and most impactful client project with my Graphic Design business yet. A huge environmental project for Melbourne. - An article of mine was published on Entrepreneur.com - I WON an all expenses paid trip to Greece – on a mindset retreat with nine other women, sailing around the Greek Islands on a yacht – after buying a raffle ticket for $40.00. This happened at the very end of Soulful Business Academy – and I believe this timing was no accident. Magic happens when you expand your belief. Thank you to Viola for creating this incredible course. Thank you for all the other women who participated with me. If anyone is considering investing in themselves and partaking in the next round – do it, you can and you will change your life.

I have now done 2 rounds of Viola Hug-Taylor’s Soulful Business Academy. The first round I did launched my brand The Farmhouse Scullery as a good blog and it taught me so so much about the online world and what is possible (and tangible) for an online soul lead business. It dared me to dream bigger, taught me how to market to the right people and smashed through so many built up beliefs that made up my conditioning of a shy, rural wife. I stepped out in confidence, having a true game plan of what my business is and how I could monetise it. The second round I did of SBA blew my socks off, again. I was ready to learn and build on my business and Viola brought it!!! She is a wealth of knowledge and has this incredible skill of bringing women together and holding this space for us all to truly bond and become soul sisters. I have made my deepest connections online in this round of SBA. She is intuitive and structured at the same time, working with V is a beautiful experience. I can’t sing her praises high enough! The transformations I have had since working with this woman is outstanding, my old self wouldn’t have ever believed that the life I’m living now is possible, let alone it being in such a short time. Because Viola is such an incredible mentor and the best celebrator of my successes we are able to collapse time and see such huge changes in me that may have taken her years to happen, are happening for me in a matter of weeks with her guidance! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Viola xoxox

Over the last couple months I completed both The Podcast Project and Soulful Business Academy and had the most epic time doing so 🌟👑🌞 I've been working behind the scenes on so much self work, expression via podcasting and amazing challenges Viola gave us through Soulful Business Academy. Nobody before has called me out on my bullshit in such a kind, upfront, no shit-taking kind of way that really made me look at what I was doing, laugh, and figure out how the @#$% to move past my excuses that have been holding me back. If you want a daily dose of sparkles, travels, dreams and good vibes, go follow this abundant babe on insta or here on FB @violahug - honestly this gal gives me liiiffeee 🙌 thank you so much Viola for your amazing energy, you are such an inspiration to me 💗🌟👑

Hurray. Woohooo. I graduated from Soulful Business Academy with Viola Hug. I participated in the Soulful Business Academy over the past 7 weeks. It was amazing and so much fun. I connected with fascinating, driven, soulful entrepreneurs and I’m so happy to call them my friends now. We grew together every week, gained confidence to see that’s it’s possible and I saw finally that it’s possible for me !! I am able to launch my very own business. I am capable and all the details, the know-how and steps are clear to me now. In just 7 weeks!! Fascinating transformation. I wasn’t sure what to expect at first. It blew my mind once I made the decision and started. This was something I longed for during the last 12 years, a dream which woke in me when I started my personal development journey in my networking career. I never saw it possible to own my own biz, I never found the confidence to believe in myself before, despite investing in many courses and workshops. Viola has changed my life, my mind, my heart and soul, my confidence and my ability to see and do. I’m ready to launch my OWN biz next month. Viola is absolutely passionate, absolutely loving and knowledgeable and instilled her confidence into us. Huge thanks to Viola’s talented and brilliant biz coaching skills. She gives her all to see us succeed. If you want to follow your dreams, do something which speaks from your heart and you are not sure if you can, join her next academy. You will love it. Thank you Viola. Thank you. Thank you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

I started SBA with a small idea about what I could be doing in the future, 7 weeks later and that small idea was a burning desire that I knew I needed to implement. Throughout the course I was given all the tools I needed, I became more confident in myself, discovered a whole lot more about me and made some friends for life who I can't imagine not knowing now. I can't speak highly enough of SBA. It's personal development, business growth and encouraging support all wrapped up in one 7 week package. I pushed myself to imagine and do things I never would have had the courage to do before. I chose to invest in myself and it paid off tenfold. If you're uhming and ahhing about this course - DO IT. You won't regret anything. Trust me xx

I have just graduated Viola's 'Soulful Business Academy' and what a ride it has been. At the beginning I put myself through so much pain of deciding whether or not to do it. I was worried about money, as I am going overseas for 2 months, and Viola said to me: "Come from a place of where you want to be, not where you are now." And still that was hard for me. But now, at the end of the program, I can say with 100% confidence that this was the best decision. And the money has come back ALREADY 10 fold before I have even left. So see-ya ego. If anyone is thinking of joining- trust that feeling. I have been working with Viola since the start of the year and this course just took me to the next level of myself. I loved what I have achieved and I am so proud of myself, and so grateful for Viola and her guidance and 24 hour support (Literally- she gives her all to us). With this course, you can literally launch a business within 7 weeks. I am launching next week which will be 8 weeks- no need to go to uni for 3 years to open a business (unless of course you need to specialise in something). But I am launching a business and HOW EXCITING!!! Please please message V if you are interested, you will not only discover more about yourself, but about life and business - you will make friends that you will probably have forever, and even that is so special. xoxo

Viola has created not only a group for learning and expanding in your business but created a place for fun, powerful manifestation and incubating your dreams while you get clarity to launch !! I had a lot of fun learning along side other members of the group and found the weekly calls jammed with value. SBA is great for connecting with like minded soulful women and learning mega amounts. Thank you Viola x

When I found my “calling” I decided to build a business out of it. I was SO excited to do my soul’s work! But once I got started it felt like that was 20% of the work, and the rest was social media marketing and brand strategies and fricken’ funnels! I questioned if being an entrepreneur was for me because I felt the strong nudge in my heart, and yet I seemed to spend so much time in my head. Strategising, planning, hustling... bluuugh! I had met Viola back in Wellington yonks ago and, while we spent so much time talking about life and the universe, we were both struggling to get shit started. Flash forward and, seemingly overnight, V is crushing it! Like, just watch her IG stories on the daily if you want vacay ideas for your vision board 🤩 So I decided to join her Soulful Business Academy this year. Having witnessed V’s evolution I knew that it was going to be worth every penny. And let me tell you - I’m not wearing any socks right now because they were blown way off in the programme! Not only did I meet incredible, supportive, sincere women (who just thinking about makes “awww”s escape from my mouth and my heart go all squishy) who are the funnest people to collaborate with, I met an incredible version of myself I’d been suffocating under all my over-thinking. Joining SBA gave me an intuitive roadmap for how I can build my business in a way that truly feels good to me and genuinely makes sense to me. V helped us get clear on how we best work and create our own strategies that optimise our energy, which has been HUGE for me! Because what I realised is... I’m not a type A hustler. And I’m not supposed to be a type A hustler - it’s not the way I’m built. I attract clients when I’m well rested and having fun and my needs are met. Like, if I need to cuddle up with my dog and keep my laptop closed, that’s what I need to do, and now m I know this everything flows so much better! Working with Viola is the ultimate reminder that we are our most powerful and impactful self when we are being true to who we are. Like I’m a wee weirdo and I fuckin’ love it, because so are my ideal clients. She held nothing back and delivered profound wisdom in such a fun way (in her way) that it made learning so much fun! I have launched my two most powerful creations as a result of SBA. My amazing podcast annndddd... a real life human baby! Well, it’s in my womb but still... when we tap into our creative goddess energy powerful things happen, and it is no coincidence to me that I conceived the day after I resigned from my full-time corporate gig 😊 So now that I’m in mama mode my future vision is evolving but I feel so settled and content knowing that as I turn my attention to biz mode again I have my ultimate roadmap laid before my feet ♥️ P.s. the next round of SBA launches on September 14th. Get in touch with Viola if you wanna hear more about it or launch in right now - you will not regret it!

Have you ever just done something for yourself that was scary? You didn't know what was going to happen but you did it anyways? I did that this past 6 weeks. I was in the most beautiful amazing program called Soulful Business Academy. It's ran by the incredible Viola Hug-Taylor. This basically was the catalyst for me getting myself out there in terms of my cards... And exposure of myself and my work. She has it set up so that you are able to start up your business and gives you steps and tools to succeed. I have never been in anything like this before. It's like having a coach, mentor and cheerleader all in one. I have an Etsy shop for my cards. I have an Instagram I'm excited to work on and know how to. I was given the tools and guidance to create something amazing. And I know how to continue grow and cultivate my new found journey. I was really confused and honestly scared to set up my Etsy. But after even just a week in Viola's group I was less confused. And excited to have an Etsy. And I started a Facebook group. Which is never something I thought was for me. But I love it. I also learned I love to talk to my phone. Aka lives and videos 😂 again. Who knew. I really enjoy it. I have learned a lot about myself and my processes. Which is never a bad thing. I never would have gotten to this point so quick if I hadn't found Viola. I know that. There is something about having an outside perspective on your bullshit. You get such an awareness around it. #vtb we made up a hashtag. Violatruthbomb. Everything she says comes from a place of love and wanting us to succeed in fulfilling our dreams. 😘 I cannot say enough good things about her and this program.🧡 If you are wanting to start any sort of business. Go check her out. You won't be disappointed.

Working with Viola in Soulful Business Academy was the huge business booster I needed. . Not only were the calls super informative but were such a transmission of energy that had me so motivated like never before. . Viola is the true embodiment of what she speaks about... you can tell she LOVES what she does and this is contagious. . The modules of information were invaluable, and the whole course something I will be going through again and again to continue to apply and boost my business. . Soulful Business Academy is the perfect name as the energy of the program is just the right balance of deep soul work with real business shifts. . I highly recommend working with Viola if you know you are here to do big soul work but a little lost in where to get started in business. V is your girl and You will not regret it xx

I am now just finishing my 2nd round of Soulful Business Academy with Viola and wow! I thought round one blew my mind (which it did!), but this round 7 months later has blown my mind again even more! I absolutely LOVE SBA, the content, the friends I make, the commitment of everyone in the group, the commitment and changes I am making for myself and how much my business is growing from it. But also how much I am growing and developing. Viola goes into not just the business side of things (which she does incredibly well), but also soulfully (hence the name 😉 ) She holds a space for us to really, truly be ourselves and to trust our thoughts, ideas and opinions, to trust one another, to collaborate, to celebrate and to work through things together. I love SBA and if you have a pull to do something, to step into your souls purpose, to make an amazing, aligned income from pure love, passion and joy- you will walk out the end of this course having the power, strength, support, guidance, commitment and knowledge to do so. Thank you again Viola- I love you!

I just finished this amazing, self investing, informative and practical •leadership training• in SOULFUL BUSINESS!! Viola Hug wowed me again with her amazing perspective, practical advice, and positivity! The high vibes and level of the Soul Sisters in the group made me proud to realise I’m one of them (ambitious, entrepreneurs and leaders)- I know I’ve made friends for life xo. If you have a cool idea for business and your not sure of the steps, you want to attract clients or increase the clients you have- but your not sure how? Invest in yourself.

The bases covered around mindset/personal growth set me up completely for the content that followed about launching my business. I LOVED the group course, have made so many #soulsisters and friends - truly was an amazing bunch of women and it was awesome hearing their personal coaching too as I was able to learn from their stories/hurdles/advice.
