At the end of January 2023, I sold part of my business. Yes, you heard right, part of my business. As a deliberate multi-passionate business owner I made it possible through years of deliberate strategy, setup and systems and processes. 

And while some business experts will tell you that having too many fingers in too many business pies is a no-no, for me, it’s worked. Now as we roll into 2023, I can focus on a passion project I’ve been working on in the background for far too long. 

Want to know how I sold part of my business and still continue to make money? Tune in to today’s episode where I share all the details.

This episode is brought to you by Flossi Creative.

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. 

From bookkeeping and compliance services to 1:1 coaching and mentoring, workshops, online courses and my signature service the pricing formula, here at Flossi Creative, we’ve got you covered. 

So if your business finance makes you feel, blah, reach out, book in for a discovery call, learn about our services and find the aha moment that will change your business for the better. We’ll help you go from frazzled to fabulous in no time flat.

The idea started for this podcast on a walk in early January 2023. I was catching up on some podcasts I usually tune into and there were a whole lot of incredible women sharing their 22 lessons from 2022. I’d seen a bit of this on socials at the end of 2022 but couldn’t quite piece together the 22 lessons with the year 2022. Yep I know a little slow on the uptake but I worked it out eventually.

 Anyway, it got me thinking about what my lessons would have been for 2022 had I decided to record a podcast of my own. Then I thought, why not pull together the 23 tips and life-lessons to live by I would share with myself for the year ahead. The result, a newsletter that went out to my subscribers and caused a flurry of emails. From subscribers asking for permission to print the tips, laminate them and stick them on their fridge, to requests for more detail or asking me to record a podcast on the topic, here’s the result.

I hope these 23 tips for 2023 will set you and your business up for success over the coming year, and I’d love to know what you would add to the list, or your biggest takeaway. Shoot me an email [email protected]Take care and talk soon.

Does what you weigh get you down or worse, stop you from enjoying your life? While the diet industry worldwide makes billions, it’s the perpetual dieters, those of us shamed into achieving the ‘acceptable’ body image, that suffer. So, if your weight feels like a struggle, you’ve tried diet after diet and you’re ready to stop the struggle then tune into this episode, I promise you’ll be grateful you did.

Today’s guest, Lyndi Cohen also known as the Nude Nutritionist is a best-selling author, host of the No Wellness Wankery podcast, creator of the Back to Basics non-diet lifestyle app and new mum. Lyndi’s unique and often irreverent approach to dieting and her no-shame approach to healthy living and eating, has put her at the fore-front of the anti-diet movement. 

In this episode, we talk about why your weight is absolutely not the problem, how to let go of the body shame, but more importantly how to live a healthy, balanced life you love without the dreaded ‘D’ word in sight.

If you've been watching or listening to the news as we head into 2023 and you feel a little stress, it makes sense. It seems there's no good news around right now.

Unfortunately, all that noise, life, work and the constant pressure to keep going can lead to anxiety, overwhelm and overthinking.  Continuous stress impacts sleep and activity levels and can cause illness and often an inability to function at the top of your game. It’s a common problem for many business owners, especially those running a solo operation and trying to be everything to everyone. So, how can we break the cycle?

Today’s guest, internationally renowned speaker and meditation teacher and founder of The Broad Place Jacqui Lewis has created the 14 day mind cleanse to help us on the way. It’s an achievable program using simple techniques to help clear out the mental clutter and introduce calm and positivity back into every day. In this episode, Jac is going to share some tips and techniques that we can use right now to help transform our lives.

Over the last eighteen months there’s been a sea-change around personal finance, especially for women.

Today she’s sharing her wisdom and her tips for achieving personal financial success on your terms. And for all of those business owners tuning in, we’re also going to chat about understanding our money story and how that can impact the success or failure of your business. 

Oh, we also dive into online course creation and how to make it a success.

Want to avoid debt and learn how to get out of it? Tune into Mel’s free webinar here.

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 in 2023 might just be the final nail in the coffin for many small business owners.

But rather dwell in the negative, in this episode, I’m sharing strategies that will help prepare your business for the likely new year recession. Ever the optimist, I’m hopeful it won’t come to that, but better be prepared and give yourself and your business the best chance to survive through the trying times ahead.

One of the things I love most about being in business is the kick-arse women I get to work with every day. Today’s guest, Emma Blomfield is right at the top of that list. 

Emma was on the podcast back in episode four when we spoke about all things business, but we’ve been working together for around almost three years now. During that time I’ve watched Emma go from strength to strength; building a business and team that is sought-after for residential and commercial interior design and A-list event planning. 

Emma is an absolute innovator, author of two best-selling books, a key note speaker and design industry mentor and expert, and I know for a fact that there are lots of good things coming in 2023.

Today though, we’re going to chat about getting ready for Christmas in style and how to make simple, stylish changes to your home for the festive season without blowing the budget.

Want to connect with Emma? You can find her on Instagram or head over to her website to learn more about the Emma Blomfield Studio. Oh and if you want a great gift, check out Emma's bestselling books right here.
