Running your own business is really hard work! Wearing all the hats and doing all of the things.

What happens when you try and "level up" and realise that there are some tasks that you just should not do - like train your staff! 

If you are struggling to find staff that are a good fit, I encourage you to take a good hard look at yourself in the situation. 

I was:

* Too passionate;

* My presence caused too much pressure; & 

* I was imposing as the business owner.

Does this resonate with you at all?

 

This week we talk goal setting and why it is even MORE so beneficial for you if you run a small business with limited time!

Focussing on 1 thing is the BEST way to help you move forward in your business. It will not define your business (like I incorrectly thought) but rather help you think clearly when you finally get 5 mins to work on your business!

Keep doing you and serving your local community!

I am a BIG believer in networking. I actually LOVE meeting new people and other business owners in my local community.

However, I know not everyone feels the same.

This week I help you understand what relationships (especially business relationships) take time and I step you through how to get started in your local area (I know it can be daunting!)

Keep doing you and serving your local community.

This episode is for every one of you who has ever:

* Questioned what you are doing; or

* Who's family & friends have questioned them!

Running a local small business is hard but you have chosen this path for a reason. I see you! You are not alone on this journey.

Okay, so this week's podcast is about all the busy marketing work that you're doing, because your advice has come from someone who isn't involved in running their own business. 

Many moons ago I did exactly that. I took the advice of a very well meaning friends who weren’t running their own business and then took their advice on marketing, because I was doing everything else and I wasn't really putting the right attention where it needed to be. 

Listen as I share my Marketing mistakes and 3 key tips that you can use to make sure you are marketing with purpose!

Are you rolling up your sleeves and getting down to work or are you just "playing" at business? Dabbling? There was a time when I was more concerned with what people "thought" I was doing then with serving my audience. Not any more!

I hope this week's episode helps you to set your eyes firmly in your own lane, forget all the noise (and shiny objects) and just keep your focus on your audience.

Ladies, are you too afraid to stop and think about who your ideal customer is? Do you think if you think can get your message out to everyone, regardless of if they are interested, then someone might decide to buy from you?   Now listen, I get it. I have been exactly where you are right now. I'm not anymore, but I have been there. It can be so hard to wrap your head around why you need to get specific about your audience. This week I share a SUPER embarrassing story of mine that perfectly illustrates why you need to get clear on who you serve.   Click the link below to listen (12 mins).   Have a wonderful week!

(10 mins) This week's episode is about what you should be thinking about before you post to your FB Business Page.

Why are you posting and what what do you want to happen.

 

 

I know & remember how easy it was to get caught up in the nature of this industry and only think of yourself as a "Creative" and not as "Local business owners!"

This week I step away from creative businesses and talk instagram strategy with Cara who is using instagram to grow her local audience (she also serves local mums).

Put on your "Local Business Owner" Hat and come and join me!

If you're not sure if the year that was means you are "allowed" to take a break, I'm here to tell you - you should!

You all deserve to rest and recharge the batteries and let's see what 2021 has in store for us all!

Wishing you and your families a safe and Merry Christmas.
