Do you do your own bookkeeping? 

When first starting out, most business owners tend to do their own books, but I get really excited when businesses reach that turning point where there’s finally room in the budget to begin outsourcing. And let me tell you, finding the right bookkeeper can be a game changer for your business. 

Today I’m chatting with my incredible bookkeeper, Lisa Turner from Accounted For You. Lisa has been instrumental in growing my business. Surrounding yourself with the right people to support you is absolutely vital.

In this episode, Lisa shares her advice for finding the right bookkeeper who suits you and your business, some questions to ask, and things to bear in mind. We also discuss why a lot of business owners are hesitant to outsource and whether or not doing your own books is really saving you money. 

I’m certain this episode will bring a lot of value to you, especially if you’re at the point where you’re considering outsourcing your bookkeeping. My advice? Go for it!

I’m asked again and again ‘Where do I start?’. 

Ensuring your business is set up with the right legal coverage is often the last thing on any small business owners mind. This often leads to them to wait until it’s too late resulting in some very sticky situations.

In this episode, I’m covering my 4 top tips for legal protection for small business owners. When running a business, you’re constantly flat out trying to do everything at once and it’s very easy to let your legals fall by the wayside. We often just hope that nothing ever happens or that the few measures we’ve put in place will cover us. 

But unfortunately, it’s quite often not the case. 

By taking the time now to ensure you’re covered with the right legal protection, you’ll save yourself a massive headache later on. 

Grab a pen and paper to write these down and feel confident you have set up a good foundation for your business.

My ultimate goal is to educate and empower business owners so they can avoid having to call a lawyer like me when something goes wrong. Over the past two decades, I’ve seen business owners make the same mistakes again and again. Usually, this is due to having a lack of time to ensure the correct systems and processes are set up from the beginning so they just carry on and hope nothing goes wrong. 

We all know how hectic running a business can be. This often results in many entrepreneurs neglecting the legal areas that can ultimately have very real consequences and are sometimes irreversible. 

But don’t worry, they are avoidable. 

In this episode, I’m sharing the 5 most common mistakes business owners make. I’m very excited to share these with you to save you from the headache of trying to play catch up after a situation arises and you need to call a lawyer. 

Tick each of these off to have a little peace of mind and enjoy!

In today’s episode, I wanted to openly share my business journey with you and how I built my multi 6 figure business in less than 2 years. I’ll begin by taking you all the way back to when I was a fresh faced lawyer practicing criminal law with a strong desire to help people. From here I walk you through my career and the self-development I personally went through when I became a mother.

My values and priorities changed overnight. I realised I never wanted to return to the hectic workload, sleepless nights, and celebrated exhaustion.

I still had my mission to help people and enrich their lives. I launched my business while I was working in a teaching profession at ANU college. I found the gap in the legal market for educating business owners to set themselves up comprehensively to avoid litigation and disputes. Through my experience, I had seen it all! I wanted to bring this knowledge to as many business owners as possible to help them in their business journeys.

I’m sharing my story with you today because I believe there are important lessons that can help other business owners handle self-doubt, negativity and obstacles. I’ll impart 7 key takeaways that I want everyone to write down so they can build their businesses on a strong foundation and still have room for incredible growth.

Grab a pen and paper! I thoroughly enjoyed being open and transparent with you and I hope you take value in my experience.

In this episode, I’ll be running you through what you can expect out of this new season and how it can benefit you as business owners. Many of us begin our businesses as side hustles and we’re unsure if they’ll even make it.

I’ll be bringing you amazing guests to help me achieve my goal. They all run their own businesses and are generously sharing with you their own advice for what worked for them. I’ll also be talking about my own real-world experiences with clients and how I set up my own business.

Business owners often feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and stressed trying to wear several different hats. Often when we feel these draining emotions it can be caused by a lack of clarity on where we need to focus our energy. This can then lead us to try to spread our attention across many different areas to try and get everything done. 

I’m very excited today to be chatting with my very first mentor, Lorraine Murphy. Lorraine was instrumental in getting me out of my head and thinking clearly about what I wanted to achieve in this business and my ideal client. Lorraine is a serial entrepreneur who has written three books with her fourth book coming out in January 2022, ‘Step Into You’. 

In this episode, we discuss Lorraine’s journey through running a number of very successful businesses and the experiences she has learned along the way. We chat about when I was her client and how she then became a client of mine. 

Check out Lorraine’s ‘Wheel of Life’ to learn more about where you need to focus your energy to achieve clarity. You can bring your life into balance by working through this exercise and engaging with Lorraine’s resources. 

We can often get stuck and need permission to slow down and have fun. You don’t have to hustle all day every day. I can’t wait for you to listen to Lorraine’s sage wisdom and benefit from her years of experience. Enjoy!

With her global Sistahood program, Erika is all about empowering women to stand in their confidence and she is a woman whom I greatly admire. She is not only an amazing businesswoman, she is a standout human being who talks the talk and walks the walk. 

In this episode, I chat with Erika about doing the inner work on a personal level and how this has a direct impact on the life of your business. I can certainly testify to this with my experience as I have been honing in on my own life. The upleveling in my business has been incredible. 

We talk about priorisiting ourselves, how it’s not selfish and why so many women feel guilty for taking time to focus on themselves. It really isn’t selfish though. When you deal with the things in your life, you become a better person and are therefore able to make a better impact in the world.

Does creating an effective SEO strategy perplex you? 

Is your content consistent across platforms?

I’m chatting today with the founder of Frankly Write, Rachel Rennie. Frankly Write is a copy and brand specialist company that provides services in branding, websites, SEO, and copy services. Rachel is my own copywriter, SEO specialist, and an absolutely integral part of my team. I first met Rachel through my business coach and I had my own preconceived ideas about what hiring a copywriter would entail. 

Would they be able to understand my brand and my voice? 

I have a rather unique brand as a lawyer without all of the jargon, so I was very doubtful in the beginning. But when I started reading Rachel’s content and website, I completely understood why it is so important to have a copywriter in my team and immediately wanted her to overhaul my entire website. 

Rachel shares with us the process she goes through when learning a client’s authentic voice and brand values. I know from firsthand experience, the extensive questionnaire she has developed to learn everything about your personality. This data enables her to create consistency across your media and ensure content is in alignment with your brand voice strategy. 

Rachel advises us to look for a vibe and a connection when searching for a copywriter. We finish up by discussing the best and worst business advice she has received and what she would tell her younger self. 

Enjoy!
