Get It Done Business Mum:

Have you ever considered how focusing in on ONE particular challenge or need your clients face might skyrocket your success?

If your business is not taking off as fast as you might like, or no matter what you do, you just don't seem to get the traction you are after, then you must listen into this week's podcast interview because it's a perfect example of how 'niching down' on one particular client challenge can create tremendous opportunities for you and your business.

Today's guest expert, Jessica Rhodes of Interview Connections, was working as a generalist VA for her Dad when she noticed a steady pattern of clients needing support to get themselves booked on podcasts. Everyone seemed to want this service, but no one was offering it. So this Mumpreneur took a leap into the unknown and set up a business doing it herself!

In this interview Jessica shares her top tips for getting booked on your first podcast show, plus she reveals how she has set her interview booking service up so that she is still able to work part-time, despite rapid growth and the fact that her team are now managing over 100 clients.

Do you ever wonder if it's actually possible to succeed in business as a Mum of young kids? These two Mums will prove that it is.

Today's podcast episode features Jo and Fran from FranJo's Kitchen – their business has literally exploded within just 2 and a half years.

In this episode we talk about how they achieved 400% growth in one year in their product based business (and that's the same year in which they had 3 newborns between them), how they structure their week around their 5 young children, the realities of being in busines, including that the best laid plans can (and do) go out the window and some pretty major learning opportunities they've had – and how they moved on from them! Fran and Jo also share their insights into what has lead to their success so far, why they are currently reinvesting all their profits back into their business and key things they've learned along the way.

These two Mums are just great to chat with as they are so down to earth,open about their experiences, and truly passionate about their work in the world, the products they create, and the difference they make– so listen in to hear how they've done it!

"Only a short time left until Christmas mama! Do you feel overwhelmed by everything you are trying to juggle?

Remember, this is supposed to be FUN, so if you are already starting to feel stressed, we highly recommend that you take 15 minutes out this week to complete the short 'Overcome the Overwhelm' exercise we share in this weeks podcast episode!

So, if you're feeling like a sinking ship that's struggling to stay afloat, grab your pen and paper now and listen in on this week's episode here >>"

"When did you last get out into nature with your kids Mama? There are SO many benefits to getting outdoorsy with the kids, but it can be hard to stay motivated and come up with quick easy ideas.

In this week's podcast episode Michelle Morpeth of @OutdoorsyNZ covers some fantastic ways you can get into the outdoors more with your kids this summer. We also talk about how you can maximise the learning opportunities that nature provides for the kiddos while you are out and about. It's inspiring stuff and a definite must-listen before we head into the xmas break.

And of course it wouldn't be a Get It Done Mum podcast without business talk, so we hear about Michelle's explosive Facebook group growth and her plans for monetizing her passion for getting more Mums and kids into the outdoors. If you've got an idea you are ready to turn into a viable business but you aren't sure how to go about it, listen in to hear what's been working well for Michelle.

Perhaps you feel overwhelmed with the nitty gritty details like how to account for expenses - and you certainly don't feel on top of it.

Just like with personal finance, money management in business can be easy to ignore.

On this week's podcast, we have Yvonne Morrisson of Business Boutique. She is a profit coach who helps women understand the money side of the business - and her philosophy is that paying yourself a great income doesn't have to wait until you hit a certain income threshold - far from it in fact!

We delve into various topics around money and Yvonne shares her tips on how you can take control of your business' finances and set your business up in a way that you can pay yourself even if the business is just starting up! We also talk about specifics like when to get an accountant, when to register as a company, pricing, and so much more!

If you are concerned about the future of your business and want to move beyond a 'passion project' to a business that is a tool for wealth creation, then this week's podcast interview is for you! If financial freedom without a 40 -60 hour week is your dream, then creating a business that is too dependent on you IS NOT the road to achieving your dream. Instead, you want to move towards a business with highly efficient systems, a great team, and a business model that will allow scalability without you having to put in more of your time. So - if that sounds like where you want to be prepare to get inspired with this week's podcast guest Laura Humphreys. She is a co-founder of Pet Angels, a highly systemized award winning pet care business with a fully automated online search and booking facility that minimized admin requirements to the point where the owners only had to work 10 hours a week!(YES! 10 hours! whew!). Before Pet Angels, she also owned her own advertising agency and sold it to a multi-national company. This interview is so full of learnings as Laura shares her ups and downs in the business including starting from the ground up as a solo mum! We talk exit strategies, common mistakes Laura sees business owners make when trying to build a scalable business, and so much more! 

Do you have neck, back, wrist or arm pain as a result of long periods sitting in front of a computer? Or perhaps your pains are connected to the aftermath of childbirth! (our bodies are never quite the same after right?!!!)

If you simply have a 'niggle' then NOW is the time to act - not later when it graduates to 'PAIN!' We get how easy it is to ignore these types of issues as Mums - we're so busy dealing with other things first that we forget to look after ourselves. But there are quick, easy tips shared in this interview with qualified occupational therapist Sarah McEntee that you can implement TODAY without too much effort. So why wouldn't you?

By ignoring this, you are at serious risk of endangering both your livelihood (if your business is computer based) AND the quality of your family time - let's prevent these types of injuries from ever holding you back from running, playing and jumping with your kids!

Sarah McEntee has been supporting organisations and individuals in their ergonomics and workplace health needs for fifteen years. Listen in to find out more about the typical injuries home-based mumpreneurs suffer from, the most important things you need to think about when it comes to your workstation setup to prevent injury, what to do if you are already suffering from pain and much much more!

Have you ever experienced the joy of financial security? That feeling that you have your ducks in a row, you're covered for a rainy day or unexpected life events AND you have have steps in place to secure your families financial future? Or perhaps not! Perhaps you feel like you're starting to go crazy juggling debts, paying the bills and figuring out what insurance to take, without a big picture plan that leaves you confident you've got everything covered? We have a feeling a large number of Mums may fall into this latter category!

But who needs more stress right? As Mum business owners, we've already got a lot on our places. If we can remove any extra uncertainly and chaos around money and finances, it's going to make a massive difference to our daily lives. Because whether we like it or not, money is one of the biggest stressors in our lives - yet we often neglect or take a laissez faire approach to financial planning (J9 i s guilty of this!).

After this weeks podcast interview with financial wellbeing warrior Carissa Fairbrother we're certainly taking another look at what we have got set up in terms of financial planning - both in our business and home lives!

IT'S TIME STOP WORRYING ABOUT YOUR FAMILY FINANCES MAMA!

Listen in to this weeks episodes to hear Carissa's top tips for creating calm around your finances. She's on a mission to inspire women to make smarter financial decision in their everyday lives and there's no doubt that after listening in you are going to feel a lot clearer about where to focus to whip your family finances into shape.

This is such a great interview. If you are feeling stressed about money or your family finances are in a mess, listen in NOW >> http://www.getitdonemum.com/e061/

Have you ever considered what Health and Safety systems should you have in your business or workplace? For many business Mums, the words Health and Safety are enough to send you running!

Whether you are a one-woman band and think that this legislation doesn't apply to you, or you think it will be way too time-consuming to implement in your business, it's important not to bury your heads in the sand and ignore this element of your business.

Health and safety might not be sexy, but it IS relevant to you no matter how small your business is and you'll be surprised at how easy it is to get started. In this interview with Jeska McHugh we take away the mystery and overwhelm so you not only realise that you do have obligations, but that you can also feel GREAT about taking steps to implement health and safety in your business.
