You know that feeling you get when you meet someone, kinda out of the blue, only to discover you’ve been connected in several ways for years but the universe just hasn’t pushed you together until that moment? Well, that was me with this week’s guest on the Mums With Hustle Podcast.

Sara Sheedy is one powerhouse of optimism. She oozes energy, self-belief and 100% practices everything she preaches.

In a nutshell, Sara is a creative trainer and facilitator within the leadership and management space. A the time of this recording she was just about to launch into her second entrepreneurial venture; her new company and website sarasheedy.com.au. Yes, I said second venture. Her first experience as an online Mum entrepreneur was as founder, creator and owner of the online e-commerce store "Dress The Look", which she sold in August last year.

Let’s not forget to mention here that Sara is a wife and mother to two gorgeous kids, aged 1 and 3 and as if that isn’t enough, Sara also teaches Body Pump at her local gym twice a week where she motivates and empowers her members to unlock their fitness potential and break through those mental barriers that get in the way of them achieving the health and fitness goals they want for themselves.

Wow! See why she’s my kinda gal?

During the interview we talk about a lot in terms of business learnings, highs and lows but we really focus on goal setting. If you have ever found yourself struggling with focus and you feel like you’re paddling but you’re not getting ahead then really stopping to pay attention to the goal setting strategy that you are applying is something you need to stop and dedicate some time to.

When we have clear goals that are the right goals, set in the right way, you WILL see success. Through this episode Sara gives us a real-time walk through of a tried and true strategy that WORKS. To support you further, so that you don’t have to take notes during the podcast, and in order to take away some of that cognitive overload, so that you can just absorb this content, I’ve created you a printable that you can access here. This printable sets out in a very digestible way, the exact steps you need to go through when constructing the goals that you will absolutely crush! Print one or print several and begin creating goals for the important areas of your life. Those areas that you have identified as the ones that fill you up and give you that feeling of balance, contentment and success when all of these areas are working together in your life. I’m going to dive into that deeper with you in a blog post this week so keep an eye out for that one!

 

Get ready to learn:

Why you must set the right goals from the get go

How to set goals that work and get you ahead indoor biz

Why you need an accountability partner

How finding your ‘WHY’ will generate the right revenue-building ideas for your biz

How to stay motivated and on track to creating success in your purpose

Sash Deacon is a mother of three boys, wife, Founder, Co-Owner and Designer of Beau Hudson - an Australian unisex fashion label for babies to adults. I first came across this brand on Instagram after my son was born in 2014. The Instagram account served as fashion inspiration for me which soon led me to make my first Beau Hudson purchase shortly after “following”. Sash launched her biz on Instagram which, at the time of this podcast, has 117K followers, and is growing at a rate of 1000 followers per week!

Only starting Beau Hudson in 2013, the brand really has become what seems like an over night success story, and in many ways, it is. Sash talks honestly about what it’s like to turn an idea into a business when you have zero experience but you do have vision. This is a very inspiring chat sharing highs and lows but one thing that is very clear is Sash’s love and passion for their brand, which is named after their eldest two sons, Halen Beau and Duke Hudson.

Sash credits the success of Beau Hudson to vision, hard work, late nights, a consistent Instagram presence, a dedication to providing exceptional customer service and making no excuses!

Get out of your comfort zone and join me on the podcast as I chat with Sash about the following:

The importance of vision in growing your biz

Pursuing a business out of passion but no experience

The struggles and challenges of being a Mum entrepreneur

What to do when your biz outgrows you

When you know it’s time to hire a team

What exceptional customer service looks like for an online store

How to you build an international reputation

How to use Instagram to drive sales

When two mothers instantly connect as well as these two it’s a no brainer that they go into business together. This week’s guests are Kate Payne and Andy Broader and together they are the Yoga Mamas. Whilst YogaBebe focusses on the prenatal journey and Aussie Yoga Mama on the postnatal journey, Yoga Mamas brings these two together collectively, providing guidance and insight into the motherhood journey, using yoga as your inspiration. I’m a bit excited to have both of these women on the podcast. It’s a first here at Mums With Hustle to have two guests!

 

Kate and Andy are here to talk all things business but they also bring a unique point of difference to the podcast. They are going to share with us how we can create a balanced life, through providing strategies and advice about some of the biggest emotional, mindset and practical challenges we all face as mothers and as female business owners.

 

"The most amazing thing about this entire journey is that it has flowed so naturally - no force, just ease and flow. Sure we’ve worked hard (our butts off actually), but when you are working on something that lights you up it’s easy. This is when you know that what you’re living an authentic, higher self life".

 

The ladies have developed an online at home pre & postnatal yoga video series - it guides women through safe yoga practices and includes posture work, meditation and breath work for pregnancy & the first 6 weeks postpartum. At the time of this podcast they had just launched their Finding Balance Campaign 2016.
