You're asked to organise an event; what's your reaction? Do you immediately look for volunteers or wholeheartedly embrace the task at hand?

Today’s guest Jodie McLean, has been curating and running events for over a decade. Her business JEM events has worked with some of the biggest names in the country and typically brings to life over 50 events every year. So, when I was toying with the idea of creating an event for my clients, naturally I turned to Jodie to ask for her tips and insights, and today I’ve asked her on the podcast to share her expertise and teach us all how to curate a successful event.

From budgets to venues, guest-lists, entertainment and everything in between, including those must-haves that will make your event memorable for all the right reasons, after listening to this episode organising your next event will be a breeze.

We also chat about how to start an event business and what a career in events is all about.

Connect with Jodie on Instagram, learn more about Jodie's signature course at the Event Academy or visit the website, JEM events.

Freaked out by your business finances? Frantic when it comes to end of quarter compliance, tax time got you in a cold sweat? If you can relate, you’re not alone. Most business owners find the financial side of their business overwhelming, confusing and probably on the, never to do list.

When I started my first business, I felt exactly the same way. However, I quickly realised the impact good financial management made to every part of my business. So, over the last 20 plus years, I’ve focussed on the finance, become a registered BAS agent, worked in insolvency  and now I work with other business owners on building financially strong and successful businesses.

Confidence is a skillset, and it’s something today’s guest, qualified specialist in human behavioural performance, Mel Schilling, says can be learned. For those of us who weren’t born with natural confidence, yep I’m talking to my fellow introverts out there, or anyone listening who finds imposter syndrome creeping into the way you conduct your business or life, the idea that we can become more confident, feels pretty damn good.

Mel believes that confidence, resilience and self-belief can be developed and are essential to helping us thrive. In her new book The C Word, Mel shares practical skills and empowering tools to help us embrace our confidence and begin to flourish.

In today’s episode, Mel is sharing her tips to help us build more confidence from the ground up and how to make a meaningful impact through confidence and courage.

In May 2015, today’s guest Chelsea Pottenger, found herself suicidal and in a mental hospital. For Chelsea, a self-confessed high achiever and Type A personality, it was the last thing she expected to happen when she gave birth to her first child.

But rather than wondering why this had happened to her, Chelsea viewed her predicament as an opportunity. As part of her recovery she studied psychology and radically shifted her priorities to put her mental health first, the process so life changing that she founded her business EQ Minds.

Today, an accredited mindfulness and mediation coach, and mental health ambassador for R U OK and the Gidget Foundation, Chelsea works with the world’s biggest brands. In addition, EQ Minds helps more than 90,000 professionals every year take charge of their mental health. Chelsea is on a mission to share the tools and resources that saved her life, and in this episode, we’re going to discuss simple, yet powerful, shifts to help recharge your mental health to improve your mental health, how to achieve a high-performance mindset, plus so much more.

Connect with Chelsea on Instagram or visit the website, or buy Chelsea’s new book The Mindful High Performer, it’s a goodie!

What’s a lead magnet, should you be using them as a tool to grow your business, and are they really worth the time and effort? 

Personally, I love a great lead magnet. It’s a way of providing your ideal client a valuable tool to help them in their life or business, and in return you get the email address of a warm lead that you can nurture and turn into a raving fan. 

Lead magnets can provide a snap shot of your services and show your ideal client how you can help them on their business or life journey.  And given that warm, nurtured leads are more likely to buy from you, I absolutely think they’re worth the investment. But rather than take my word for it, today I’m bringing in an expert.

Angie Martin founder of the Growth Manager specialises in digital marketing and in this episode we’re going to talk about the power of lead magnets and why they should absolutely be part of your marketing strategy.

How good would it be if we started a business and the clients just appeared, no effort required. Arguably, one of the easiest ways to market your business is via one to one connection with your ideal customer and once upon a time, with a new networking event to attend every other week, it was possible to share your business with prospective clients easily. However, the pandemic put the kibosh on events and for the most part, opportunities to network have been few and far between, and honestly, I thought the virtual stuff was done.

So, I was intrigued a few weeks ago when Claudia Neal-Shaw from Candour Consulting, hosted a virtual connection event that included a couple of my friends. I immediately reached out to Claudia and asked her on the podcast to share what it’s all about and why she decided to host these regular events.

Hustle culture! If you’re a regular listener you’ll know how much I dislike the concept. But not buying into it, is one of those things I have to actively work at every single day because it’s so easy for me to say yes to everyone and everything and before I know it I’m booked out, stressed out and the hustle almost does me in. I’m wishing the weeks away to get beyond the latest work load, all of my own doing I might add. Anyone else, or is it just me?

For that reason, I’m always interested in what other entrepreneurs do in their business, how they manage their schedules, workloads and what they do when the energy starts to wane.

Today’s guest, business coach Kristy Robinson, helps business owners scale and build sustainable business through strategy and systems. In this episode we’re talking about business overwhelm, what to do when you can no longer fit it all in, you’re overworking, undercharging and simply treading water. So if you’re booked out and stressed out or you’ve fallen out of love with your business stay tuned.

Like the ex that broke your heart, the frenemy that just seems to always turn up at the same events as you or the schmoozing uncle from Bridget Jones Diary you’d rather avoid, we’ve been dancing around the R word, the Recession we might have to have, for the last few months.

Considered an unavoidable part of the business cycle, it seems that Australia has gone through a recession pretty much every ten years or so since the 70s, I’m including the global financial crisis of the noughties in there too. Add the pandemic, and the economic fallout for business owners subjected to lengthy lockdowns over the last two years, and a recession could not have come at a worse time. 

For many business owners either starting to recover from the impacts of Covid or still struggling with the aftermath, a likely recession might just be the straw that breaks the proverbial camel’s back.

But rather dwell in the negative, in this episode, I wanted to share some strategies that may help recession ready your business. So, dive in and take a listen to my tips to recession ready your business.
