The Road To The Successful Business And Life That You Want Starts With Mastering Your Mindset. And I’m Here To Help You Do Just That.
“Working with Fran was instrumental for building my business foundations. When I joined Fran’s Mastermind, I was ready to 100% dedicate my time and energy to my business and that included investing in myself and my business, as well as networking with like-minded female business owners!
When I made this decision, it was a no-brainer to join Fran. I had been following Fran on Instagram, Facebook and her Podcast for quite a few months after a friend recommended her as a coach to follow. From that very first discovery call, I knew that Fran’s approach was going to be perfect for me and my business journey.
Fran has so much beautiful knowledge about business – from mind-set coaching, to business strategy and tried-and-tested practical recommendations (apps to use, platforms she likes, books to read). I devoured everything that was shared with me to start building the foundations of my business.
Since being part of the Mastermind, I have launched my website, created a lead magnet, built an email list, launched a blog, built my IG following, started a Facebook Group, hosted a 3-day challenge, launched my first online masterclass training, attracted new 121 clients, and built so much confidence along the way!
THANK YOU Fran for everything! You are always there to answer questions, to guide us when mind-set gremlins get the better of us, and celebrate our successes. It’s a fantastic Mastermind and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work with you and meet the lovely ladies within the group. You’ve created a super supportive group that attracts women that are ready to lift and celebrate other women!”

“Someone had mentioned Fran’s podcast in a Facebook group & I was HOOKED immediately. I felt like for the first time ever someone had made me feel like I wasn’t alone & that I wasn’t going insane with all the mindset battles I was dealing with being an entrepreneur 😂 Fran speaks the REAL truth about what it’s like to be a business owner but at the same time still inspires & pushes me to do so much more! I applied to work with her within just a couple of weeks despite having just finished up coaching with another coach.
My 4 months of coaching with Fran have literally been life-changing. I’m in a much better place in both my personal life & my business. I have completely overcome my fear of getting visible & feeling like I wasn’t good enough for my clients & as a result I feel MUCH better about selling with confidence. She has called me out on a lot of BS 😂 I’m happier, I appreciate life more & I’m a lot more patient with myself & my business.
Fran has also taught me to work confidently on my own now whereas before I could barely make a decision on what to have for dinner without asking my whole extended family first!
I loved our time together, she is so open & warm & she was always there for me on Voxer in between calls whenever a mindset battle came up! Like a true biz bestie 😅 plus the GIF convos 😜 I couldn’t recommend working with Fran enough – Thank you so much for all you have taught me & continue to teach me with the tools I’ve now got. You are a rare diamond ❤ “

“What would I do without Fran Excell in my life? I’ve known Fran for 3 years and have been part of her incredible Proactive Pants Mastermind for 9 months. The group is full of incredible ladies who are so supportive and Fran is the perfect leader. She’s full of wisdom, has a mindset strategy for every problem and is also a wonderful, fun friend.
Fran really takes the time to get to know her clients so she can offer the best support. She knows that when I’m in overwhelm I hide so I often need a friendly boot up the butt to get the support I need. Fran is an expert in uncovering the root behind a pattern or thought (it’s often not what you think!) and has given me so much insight into my own mind and behaviour as well as the tools to develop and just be a happier person.
Fran has also taught me to work confidently on my own now whereas before I could barely make a decision on what to have for dinner without asking my whole extended family first!
My business has progressed this year because of my work with Fran. I’ve said yes to projects that scare me and have met my goals because Fran’s taught me how to get out of a negative hole more easily. Thank you Fran! ”

“Fran has been fantastic at not only helping me conquer my mindset gremlins but also at helping me make the right choices and stay on track within my business. She is a positive ray of sunshine and no problem is too big. What I love most is that she is totally real and will give you that kick up the butt when you need it, in as honest and nice a way possible. She’s full of knowledge and really wants the best for you which I believe can be hard to find and really makes a difference on your journey. Being in Fran’s mastermind has really provided me with the support and guidance I have needed when I’ve been going through some difficult times within my business. We all have moments of self sabotage which can hinder our process and stop us moving forward but having the support of Fran checking in regularly,keeping me accountable and helping me work through some of the blockages I’ve had, has been invaluable. There is no getting away with excuses with Fran because she helps you see where you’re holding yourself back so you can push through the gremlins and take action, which is something I really needed. I am forever grateful for all her support, encouragement and knowledge!”

“Fran has pulled me from the depths of overwhelm, procrastination and every other mindset gremlin available in just a few weeks. There was nothing else left for me to self-sabotage, so when I saw Fran’s Mastermind, I took a deep breath and dived right in. What a revelation! Fran’s unwavering positivity and her uncanny ability to see what actually needs doing has literally turned my life around. I’m now moving forward after almost a year of being stuck. The wonderfully varied group of women in the mastermind group means there are different and valuable view points in discussions and their support is incredible. Fran is the Real Deal; no cookie-cutter coaching here. She is authentic and unfailingly generous with her advice and encouragement; I couldn’t have chosen a better mentor.”

“So where to start…. I am a very capable person but through various moments in my life I have created “blockages” to which in turn has stopped me creating the dreams into reality and just taking that jump. Though procrastination, self doubt and many other things I was getting in my own way. So an amazing friend found Fran and recommend the group. I arranged a call 3 months ago when I started I was ready shaking there were a few tears I had lost a lot of my confidence. I had a immediate connection and felt I was in safe hands so I signed up to the mastermind! Best decision I ever made. My confidence is growing, I have got some big tasks done that were really not that scary once I actually 54321 cracked on with it. I am getting so much better in all areas in my life. The first thing I wanted to achieve was ‘to feel in control’ as for such a long time I hadn’t. But i really can say with total honesty ‘I feel in control’ thanks to the guidance and skills of The Queen of positive Pants herself. The ladies in the group are also a massive support and everyone has such a different background they all have something or know someone that can help with whatever snags or gremlins we come up against. Or supporting with such positive encouragement, you really can’t go wrong with the lovely Fran”.

“I had a one off one hour session with Fran. I thought we were going to work on my money mindset, turns out that is absolutely fine but my limiting beliefs were elsewhere! Fran is an amazing intuitive who can quickly work out exactly what the problem is and what needs to be worked on. She offered so much amazing advice and I left the one hour session buzzing with lots of incredible ideas. It was such an extraordinary and beneficial hour that has really helped me and my business. I would not hesitate to recommend her to other people and I look forward to working with her again in the future! Thank you Fran. X”

“I had an amazing Power Hour with Fran. Her energy was amazing and such a smiley face. More importantly though was her authenticity, I felt certain she understood me and genuinely wanted to help me get unstuck. Which she did. I have since listened to many of her pod casts and sought help from the Positive Pants Community and I am very grateful for all the help and support! Thank you Fran, keep doing what you’re doing xx”

“ I had a session with Fran as I was struggling in business and my coach felt it was due to a mindset issue. Convinced that all the work I was doing on money mindset wasn’t getting me far, I just couldn’t work out what was stopping me moving forward in my business. Fran was amazing, asking the right questions to help me uncover the real reason I was self sabotaging and it wasn’t the money as I thought. But more I had been suppressing the real me for so long. Fran encouraged me to take action, baby steps to start and helped me to rediscover a part of me I had buried. I am so much happier in my life now and I know this will pay off for my business. I can’t wait to see what the future holds. I am extremely grateful to Fran for helping me step out of the comfort zone and back into my zone of genius and go for what I want from life. I would recommend a session with Fran to anyone who lives frustrated unable to see what is causing you to move from where you are to where you want to be and I hope to work with Fran in again in the Future.”

“I am so grateful for the one hour call I had with Fran. It gave me so much clarity where I was feeling very stuck. I am a practitioner in EFT, Matrix Reimprinting and a Transformational Coach, so I know a bit about mindset. However, like everyone, I need someone to help me find my own blindspots and Fran is great at that! She quickly found that I was doing things not aligned to my values and asked all the right questions for me to move forward. That call took me from a place of uncertainty and anxiety to a place of relief, excitement and drive! I am so grateful for my newfound direction. Thank you Fran!”

The positive pants mastermind enabled me to not only gain expertise and knowledge from Fran but also the experience of my fellow group members. Highly recommend this programme.”
Deirdre Coyne

“I recently went through a tough time both professionally and personally. Daily challenges left me questioning my abilities and making excuses for why I couldn’t live the life I truly wanted. Fran listened to my concerns and helped me to see the positives in my situation; she encouraged me to stop putting things off but to have the confidence to take immediate action. Thank you Fran!”
BK

“Fran has been the cheerleader I’ve needed my whole life! Since starting my sessions I’ve gathered a momentum I couldn’t find before. I feel like my energy has shifted with the new mindset Fran has helped me achieve. I’ve hidden my light for far too long, and now Fran has helped me see this is my time to shine, making me excited about life’s possibilities again!”

“Fran’s positivity means that you come away from each session believing the impossible is possible, which obviously it is! Everyone can benefit from a positivity pill! She is a positive ray of light, and after every session I feel such a sense of “get up and go”. There is so much more than just this answer I have gained from sessions with Fran… she is a gem! She was born to make other ladies feel better and positive, and in some enchanting way has given me the get up and go attitude about certain things for me right now ”
J

“I feel like I came to Fran when I was at a bit of a crossroads in my life. I lacked confidence and felt like I had lost my own identity and vision. Since working with Fran I feel like I have learnt skills to flip around my mindset. When I start doubting myself I feel better equipped to boast my own confidence and see things from a higher, more positive perspective.”

“Fran was able to make me reflect on myself and look at things in ways I would have never thought. She was able to pick out the key bits of what I was saying and make me reflect on my feelings in a new way decoding my thought process. She would get me thinking and talking about things on a much deeper level than I have ever done in the past which I feel has helped me get to the bottom of a number of key issues that were unknowingly impacting my life. Working with Fran helped me establish methods to gain more control in my life and my insecurities. I feel since working with Fran I am more assured, have more clarity over my future and am better equipped to deal with daily life.”

“Fran’s coaching has led to a whole different way of thinking for me. Various situations in day to day life were really starting to take their toll on my personal life and health, but she has helped me to adapt my interpretation of these moments, through a variety of explanations and examples. I would highly recommend a coaching session with Fran, – I got a new perspective which I can now continue forward with – thank you!”

“Fran has been amazing, listening to everything and then knowing when to push me for answers or suggestions. I love that she noticed the little things while we were speaking, that I didn’t necessarily know that I had let on, either in my voice or words!”

“Fran has truly been such a positive influence on my life and way of thinking. Before I met Fran I had so many mental blocks about situations in my life that I didn’t know where to start … Fran has given me the tools to address these issues and create a more positive outlook on my life. I thoroughly recommend working with Fran and intend use her services in future.”
