Here’s what I've learnt over the years: no one wants to be associated with anything that is not considered successful.
This one word, 'Success', has led many to fall for deception — chasing shiny opportunities and the get-rich-quick schemes you see today.
The problem is no one is showing you how to overcome the challenges you face trying to build a business while raising a family, struggling financially, or even managing a chronic health condition. So when you hit a wall, you start wondering if you are in the wrong business, the wrong marriage, or in a hostile environment.
The truth is, every successful business you see today started from ground zero.

How many times have you searched online for how to write a business plan?
How to set up an online shop, or how much you need to make to grow your business?
You have probably bought online courses, downloaded business templates that just took up your storage space, didn’t do what they promised, and finally ended up in the bin.
The truth is, none of that will help if you do not know the business you are trying to build or how it will help you grow your income. It's like throwing away your vision and uniqueness for something fancy, only to end up feeling confused and overwhelmed.
That's why I created this episode to help you get clear on what you are building.
This episode is for you if you:
You need a clear plan!
You need a strategy that turns your ideas into signature products or services, a structure and system to monetize while protecting your health and family life.
Now, before you start getting all worked up about writing a business plan, I know this may sound complicated. But stay with me, friend! I'm not talking about a generic business plan that you can download online and try to make it fit. That actually creates more overwhelm, and I don't want you to stay stuck.
I will show you a simple way to write a business plan, no fluff, just you and me, and a blank document. Yes! You heard me!
In this Business Series, Episode 20 (Part1), we will discuss the 7 Reasons Why You Need a Business Plan to Start and Grow an Online Business.
Whether you are starting from scratch or wanting to grow an existing business, I will help you get those ideas out of your head, clarify your vision, and purpose. So you can start creating the structure and system to build your signature business.
I hope you're ready.

3| Don't Know What to Sell? Simple Business Plan to Clarify Your Ideas and Grow Your Income (Part 2 of 3)
Before you rent that shop or make any more financial commitment, you need to understand what is happening with your money. I know you are busy running the business and working hard. But if you are spending money with no results, you need to stop and look at your numbers!
How do you know if your business is profitable?
Spending money isn’t how you grow your business; knowing your numbers and strategic planning is what you need to grow your business.
If you don't understand profitability or how much profit you need to make to grow your business, you put the business at risk every time you spend money. This keeps you working harder than you should and eventually leads to burnout.
That’s why I recorded this episode: to help you understand your numbers to save you all the hustle.
In today's episode, I am going to walk you through 3 ways your Revenue and Expenses can help you understand your Profitability, plus a practical guide to calculating your business profits. So you can set the right Financial Budget, build a bulletproof business plan, and avoid taking on costly debt.
This is part 3 of the Rent Shop Series.
PODCAST HIGHLIGHTS
If you are having a hard time understanding what goes into your profit and loss account or how to calculate your business profits, you need to hit that play button!
Because you are about to learn what took me 8 years of business studies (accounting and finance) and 15+ years of practical business experience in about 20 minutes.
I am sharing the simple and practical way to determine how much money your business needs to make to grow and how to use your numbers strategically to drive your business forward.
I hope you're ready. Grab your favourite drink and a notebook, and let's get started.
