Hi. I’m Mike Palmer, Michael Palmer Consulting, Financial Management Coach.
I’ve had some physical and mental health challenges over recent years.
I have an aortic valve replacement (1996) and a pacemaker (2008) and clinical
anxiety (2018)
I am a helping person (as many others are) and prior to 2018 I was helping business
owners (maybe the wrong ones). I was focused on a “recognition” outcome – I
thought “if I build your business for you, knowing you have no capital, then you will
be able to pay me and I will get recognition”
This is, of course, arrant nonsense. I can’t build a business without any working
capital.
My focus ought to have been
• Do I know, like and trust them?
• Do I want to help them? Do they want me to help?
• Can they afford to pay my fee?
Obviously, my assistance in their projects did not yield results, they didn’t pay my
fee, and I stressed.
Fortunately, we had a master’s in psychology friend, with whom I had several
conversations.
I now use EFT (emotional freedom technique), meditation, and the CALM app to
maintain emotional balance.
A difficult phone call, or a family situation, or other common occurrences no longer
bring on an anxiety attack.
Despite the COVID situation at the time of writing, I get heaps of emotional support –
connecting, laughing, in-depth discussions, etc. from my wife Helen, and from my
many friends in Bx – a professional networking and business referral group.

your business finances, please contact me at
