I’ve already let you know about our wonderful keynote speaker, Lisa Messenger, but there’s also 3 more incredible women who you’ll have the opportunity to learn from if you join us in Byron Bay at Simply Business Summit and I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce you to each of them.
Read MoreI am absolutely buzzing as I type this blog post for you as I’ve just hopped off a Zoom call with Lisa Messenger.
I shared with you last week that Lisa is our keynote speaker at next month’s Simply Business Summit in Byron Bay and honestly, having just had a 30-minute chat with her to discuss her content for Summit, I can truthfully say her presentation is going to be even more brilliant than I could have imagined.
Read MoreI’m THRILLED to be sharing that the one and only LISA MESSENGER is going to be joining us to share her incredible wisdom and knowledge as the keynote speaker at next month’s Simply Business Summit in Byron Bay.
For those of you that aren’t familiar with Lisa, firstly—she’s fabulous. Secondly, she’s an incredible entrepreneur, speaker and author. (I’ve read all of her books within weeks of them being released.)
Read MoreThere’s a lot of mistakes we’ve all made in business at some point.
Perhaps you’ve hired the wrong person, found your books to be in a mess come tax time, or desperately thrown money at paid advertising without a clear plan to convert those new people into paying customers.
Read MoreIf you’re a regular listener of my podcast, How to run a successful business (and still have a life!) you would have heard me talk a lot about my “Favourite Things” over the past few weeks.
I thought I’d do a quick round up of them so they’re all in one place in case you want to take a read / listen / watch yourself.
Read MoreSo if you follow me on Instagram you’ve probably seen my April Instagram Stories content just exploding with Disney… am I right? #sorrynotsorry.
Firstly, I know I speak from an incredible place of privilege to be taking this trip in the first place, so let’s put that up front. But I wanted to share with you the story behind this magical adventure, as I think you might be able to relate…Even if you’re not a fan of Disney!
Read MoreEnrolment in THRIVE, my coaching and accountability program for women in business has almost closed for another year!
Before doors close on April 2, I thought I’d answer for you the Top 5 questions I’ve received in my inbox over the past week.
Read MoreThere have been a lot of hard lessons to learn in business, but I wanted to talk to you about one I’ve found the hardest to accept….
If you’re anything like me, you probably find when you come up against a challenge in business you think “I must be doing something wrong because this is too hard.”?
Read MoreDo you ever catch yourself scrolling social media or checking your inbox and getting really excited when you see a new program or professional development opportunity that has your name all over it?
For me it’s something like this:
✔️Surrounded by fellow women in business all eager to learn.
✔️Regular, LIVE content that isn’t “cookie cutter” but instead tailored to exactly where I’m at.
✔️Built-in accountability mechanisms to make me actually do the work (and not just pay for an online course I never actually complete… or even start.)
✔️The chance to ask all of my burning questions at any time of day (or night!).
✔️Learning from someone I trust and respect.
Read MoreLet’s talk about side hustles…. I’ve had a few!
Believe it or not, Port Macquarie Performing Arts—that now has almost 300 students—used to be mine.
Read MoreI want to touch base with you today on something I hear a lot when working with my coaching clients. People come to me and say “I'm just so sick of being on my own in business and being the only one making all of the decisions”.
Is this a feeling you can relate to?
Read MoreLast week we had a chat about ONLINE strategies for attracting new customers to your business. This week, I wanted to walk through OFFLINE marketing strategies.
And in case you were thinking that “online marketing is the only way to go”.... Just remember that you have to market to suit your customers. It's no use doing a whole heap of marketing in places where your customers aren’t “hanging out”.
Read MoreWhat strategies do you use to attract new clients or customers to your business?
If you’ve been in business for a while, there often becomes a point where all of your marketing techniques to reach new people begin to feel a little stale.
Read MoreDo you incentivise yourself in your business?
I ask this question of coaching clients regularly and I’m often met with some strange looks! I actually think it’s really important to incentivise ourselves in business—particularly when it’s around a challenge we’re avoiding…. Like FINANCES!
I used to incentivise myself ALL THE TIME when it came to my business finances.
Read MoreWhile I’ll never profess to be a numbers expert, I have learned over the years how incredibly important it is to have a really good understanding of my numbers and where my money is coming from—and going! But I haven't been able to do it alone. And so today I wanted to share with you the people on my “numbers team” that make it all possible.
Read MoreI'm working with some incredible business owners as part of my elite mastermind program, Simply Business Accelerator, and part of that program involves keeping a close eye on your business finances… AND reporting on them each month.
Read MoreDo you shiver at the mention of the word “budget”? If so, you’re not alone. Most of my coaching clients do, too, as did I in the early years of my businesses.
It’s okay to not love dealing with the numbers side of your business, but that doesn’t mean you can avoid it all together! Just ask my beautiful business mentor, Glenda, who has been making me make budgets for the last 12 years. (I know that she's laughing at the irony of me now, teaching other people how to make budgets!)
Read MoreThere are two time management techniques that have made an incredible difference to my productivity and the quality of work I get done when it comes to running my four businesses. I know if you took the time to implement these techniques, you’d see a big difference too—so let’s get into them!
Read MoreHow often do you think about a phrase you heard as a teenager or young adult (that made you roll your eyes at the time) but then realise, in retrospect, it was actually incredibly accurate?
For me it was: “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.”
Hearing that as a teenager when I was meant to be studying for exams… it didn’t really resonate! But now? No truer words have ever been spoken!
