KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I came from a small business, I worked in my parents’ business from about 10 years old, went to corporate life and was an executive assistant, I stayed at home with my kids – I worked all the elements that make up Bosun. When I left my corporate life I noticed a gap where a business owner needs help and there’s an untapped workforce of mums, empty-nesters, women that want an alternative career path, there must be a way to blend that. That’s how Bosun was founded and we’ve been doing that for about 5 years.
- What is a personal and professional goal for you? What would you like to see in delegating ‘x’ amount of hours of work? We build that picture for our clients to let them have the time to work out, see their wife, whatever they need. We continually check in on them to make sure it’s still going well to make sure work is being taken care of but, personally, they’re getting to where they need to be.
- Being an entrepreneur/business owner is lonely, you’re kind of on an island making decisions in a silo. We try to schedule times that they have a space to truly stop, think about things, talk with someone about it, almost serving as a business and personal coach.
- The most shocking reveal of delegation is that you might actually get someone who’s better than you. You might get better results with someone else doing the job.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Sometimes it’s just a matter of pausing and creating a space to think.’
‘I was shocked when I started this business to find out how many business owners didn’t know how to run a business.’
‘Bookkeepers are the number one thing people should hire, if you don’t know your numbers you have no idea where your business stands.’
‘My team is the one with boots on the ground, they’re coming to me with ideas they’re hearing from clients or contractors, I need to listen. Take your team’s feedback and allow them a space to communicate with you.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Nicole Grinnell comes from a long line of entrepreneurs and small business owners, she often describes her family Christmas’ as an episode of Shark Tank. For most of her career she served as an Executive Assistant in the corporate world. She excelled with her small business background and work ethic.
Taking her passion for organisation and efficiency she founded Bosun, which could provide the same level of support to business owners as a scalable and affordable solution.

ABOUT THE HOST
Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.
Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.
Why?
Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!
How?
Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.
