Press play on part 2 with Eleanor, where we discuss key challenges in accounting and the solutions to service even the trickiest businesses, marketing tactics that are relevant for all types of small businesses, and the customer process and experience.

If you haven't heard part 1, head back to Ep #23. 

Meet Eleanor, founder of Your Business Accountants in Currambine. If you've heard Hannah on our other episodes, this is her mum!

In part 1 of this two part episode, we discuss how the culture of accounting is perceived in Australia, what basic tools and processes you need to run your business effectively (hint, it's not just about doing your taxes) and whether you should partner with an accountant or do it yourself.

Stay tuned for part 2 where we talk about automation in the world of accounting, whether marketing tactics like TikTok are necessary, and nurturing a relationship with your accountant, or your client if you are an accountant.

Meet Tanya, self-appointed CEO of Royal IT and the voice of reality inside all of our heads.

We chat about coming to a crossroads in work, relationships and life in general, and the advantage of learning from failings. I'd be surprised if you don't resonate with at least one part of this conversation!

Katie Liew is quite possibly the most humble social entrepreneur in Perth. With roots in accounting, beginning at Curtin University before branching into the mining and resources industry, Katie did a 180 and changed pathways by founding The Underground Collaborative, which exists to provide employment and housing solutions for the homeless, at-risk and disadvantaged. 

In this episode, we invite guest co-host Quincy Lan, who is currently in accounting herself, to join me in getting the insider scoop on how to change the world for the better through a non-profit initiative.

Get ready to keep up with this episode as we chat to Joel, qualified personal trainer with a background in calisthenics, weight-training, Mauy Thai, BJJ and gymnastics.

In a cutthroat industry like fitness, it takes more than hard work and following the rules to lift your business off the ground. We talk all about the wacky marketing gimmicks out there and how to avoid falling into the trap of doing what everyone else does because it works for them; the trick to targeting a niche market in such a vast industry; convincing people to trust you by keeping it genuine and tailoring your fitness services for real success that doesn't profit off of powders and potions.

Say hi to Justin, fellow South African and Kiwi-turned-Australian who heads up Rocket Launcher, Rocket Projects and the brand new initiative Perth Networking Club.

This episode is a full on peek into the man behind the brand. We talk about:

- Whether your start up project needs to do it all or just do what you specialise in (hint: breaking your skills into various ventures could be the answer for those with lots of energy)

- How to make your productivity peaks and troughs work for you whether you're an entrepreneur or an employee (normalise the concept of siestas in WA, we beg!)

- How to embrace every moment as a learning opportunity to grow something great instead of getting down about the small stuff

Tune in and if you like what you hear, share and let us know!

Welcome to another episode of The Perth Business Podcast featuring The Comfortable Home Project.

In this raucous episode, we chat, sing and ponder out loud with Keith; entrepreneur, marketer, story teller and public speaker. Keith is joined by Grace, the PR (and pants wearer) of the business.

If you're interested in the future of home building and sustainable innovation that makes solar power look redundant, this one is for you!

Meet Anna, she doesn't believe in talent. Really.

Yet, she's the creator of the new Boba Boba brand design, illustrator with a bank of incredible portraits, branding expert and designer of UI friendly websites. Oh and she dabbles in American country accents (yeehaw!).

We chat about starting a design business when you're working full time and the reality of risking it all for your passion. We also talk about where Anna got started as a designer and how she managed to measure her progress over the past two years.

Check her out on Instagram at @jynxlabdesign and @jynx.lab (or her personal @annajytan).

Listen and laugh with us and Oli, the founder of Alchemy Breathwork. Oli helps to instill values of integrity and ethics in men in Perth through breathwork. Not sure what that means? We cover it off in the first minute so hit play and if you want, learn more about why the corporate nightmare feels so wrong and why enabling vulnerability and healing is so important to give your business the leg up it needs. 

Meet Jordan, the founder of Jordan Sprigg Sculptures hailing from Narembeen, WA. Jordan up-cycles scrap metal from our WA farms and turns them into works of art; you may have seen a few of his famous pieces around Perth and our outer regions!

We asked him to share his insight into starting a business fresh out of uni after studying something completely out of the scope of art, and his opinion of the most impactful time for you to focus on your business and marketing if you're an artist pedaling your own craft.
