In today’s fast-paced business world, the pressure on entrepreneurs to constantly “hustle” and “grind” is overwhelming. But Natalie Clark, Founder and CEO of Ignite Your Brilliance Coaching Programs, is leading a movement that challenges that mindset. Her approach focuses on empowering women entrepreneurs to build thriving businesses while also maintaining balance, well-being, and fulfillment in their personal lives.
Natalie’s own journey into entrepreneurship is a story of bold action and unwavering determination. After spending over 15 years in higher education, she made the decision in early 2020 to leave behind her stable career and take the leap into full-time coaching. “I knew I needed a fast track to a profitable, soul-led business,” Natalie explains. “I didn’t have a Plan B—it was onward and upward.”
Within just six months, her coaching business had reached six figures, but Natalie’s success wasn’t just about hitting financial milestones. She was committed to creating a business that allowed her to live in alignment with her values—prioritizing family, well-being, and personal growth alongside professional achievements.
“I wanted to defy the traditional ‘rules’ of business,” Natalie says. “So many people believe you have to sacrifice your health or your family life to be successful. But I knew there had to be a way to create a business that was both profitable and sustainable without leading to burnout.”
One of Natalie’s biggest breakthroughs came when she realized the importance of energy and intentionality in her business. “I discovered that when I moved my body—whether through breathwork, yoga, or other practices—the mental blocks disappeared, and I could see the path ahead clearly,” she says. “It became clear that success isn’t just about working hard; it’s about harnessing your energy and focusing on your goals.”
This philosophy is at the heart of Natalie’s latest offering, the Inspiring Your Best Life Series, which helps women focus on developing their personal growth path and creating better work-life balance. The program includes a blend of daily practices that help participants elevate their mindset and achieve more—faster and easier.
“Women in business often feel pulled in so many directions,” Natalie explains. “They want to grow their companies, but they also want to be present for their families and take care of their own well-being. I designed the Inspiring Your Best Life Series to give them daily practices that keep them from burning out.”
One of Natalie’s core teachings is the importance of starting each day with intention. “I’m known for my morning practice,” she says with a laugh. “It’s non-negotiable. When you start your day with clarity and focus, you can move through the rest of it with ease and confidence. That’s what I teach my clients, and it’s one of the key factors in their success.”
Over the past few years, Natalie has built a thriving virtual business with an international reach, hosting retreats in Europe and South Africa and coaching clients from all over the world. Her success is a testament to the power of intentional growth and alignment, and she’s passionate about helping other women entrepreneurs achieve the same.
Natalie attributes her rapid business growth to five key principles that she believes every entrepreneur can adopt:
- Unwavering commitment to your mission
- A consistent daily practice that supports your personal growth
- Showing up consistently, even if it’s imperfect
- Investing in yourself and your learning
- Focusing on your inner landscape, knowing your business is a reflection of your mindset
As Natalie continues to expand her coaching programs, she remains focused on her mission to inspire and empower women entrepreneurs to create balanced lives and businesses that reflect their highest potential.
“We don’t have to play by the old rules,” Natalie says. “Women can build thriving businesses, enjoy their lives, and live in alignment with their purpose. That’s what I’m here to teach.”
