Today I'm going to share some of my favourite Facebook pages for business. They are all very different but I love them all and find them useful and inspiring. These are just my first few, I'll do more podcasts soon on Pages for specific topics like money or social media. Enjoy!

I've just had the most painful half hour ever. It's half an hour of my life I'll never get back. And the worst thing is, it's the second time it's happened to me in a week. Eek! It certainly didn't have the intended effect and now I'm praying it doesn't happen again! Find out why!

So, you've got your online marketing but there's this other whole different kind of marketing that you could be doing that's so simple it's genius, let me explain!

We all know how much I love using video in my marketing and why I'm constantly telling you ladies that you need to start using them too! Well here's another brilliant reason to get recording!

In the early days of The Girls Mean Business I had a never decreasing to do list so decided to hire a virtual assistant, even though I wasn't even paying myself! Let me explain why

I remember when I used to go to networking events and someone asked me what I did - I would usually get a red rash on my neck, splutter a bit and then squeak 'I'm a marketing consultant'. Not unsurprisingly, I didn't have many takers as I wasn't very memorable - here's a better way to do it!

Today a lady commented on my Facebook page and she really pushed my buttons. She didn't mean to, she was just trying to be helpful but her words brought my Mind Monkeys out in force. Eeek!

It can be challenging if you're a busines owner mum with small children in school holidays. I should know, I'm one too! Here are some tips that work for me, keep my business running AND keep my children happy too

Hmm this isn't actually a book recommendation. I'm talking about an entirely different kind of book but you're going to love it (spoiler - it means you MUST go out and buy the prettiest notebook you can find - what's not to love?)

Ooh this is a controversial one. I'm firmly of the opinion that weekends are just another day and as long as I make time for my family, I'm very happy to lock myself away in the office for a couple of hours. Other ladies I know hold weekends sacred for lots of reasons. How about you?
