Today I'm talking about something that I think is crucial for any business owner who is looking to scale their business from $200,000 a year to $1mil and beyond, and that is is strategic planning. When I started my business I didn't know what strategic planning was and I had never even heard of it before. I just did what I thought I needed to do, I was constantly just chasing new clients and I didn't actually stop and think, how can I actually strategically plan for my business? How can I take a step back from the day in, day out running of the business and actually plan for the future, plan for growth? In this episode I share how to create a strategic plan and break it down for you step by step to that you can set your business on the right path to enjoy massive success.

In this episode I cover:

• How to assess your business with a SWOT Analysis
• The importance of having a clear business vision and mission statement
• Setting goals that align to your vision and actionable steps to help you actually achieve them
• Developing marketing strategies and creating content to increase your market share

Recently in my coaching client calls I've noticed that mindset and trying to hang in there when it comes to a business can be challenging for a lot of people. I have also found that recently I have had to work on my mindset after experiencing many changes and ups and downs in my own business. These experiences have reminded me of the power of mindset and how building that resilience and that strength within yourself is what's going to make you successful. I think that's part of the reason why so many businesses fail is because people don't realise how hard it is. They try a couple of different things and it doesn't work, and so they just give up on the business. I really wanted to talk about mindset in this episode because I'm here to support you in strengthening your mindset so that you can make it to the finish line and be happy and feeling comfortable within your business.

In this episode I cover:

• How overcoming challenges is the key to success in business
• A recent experience of rejection that helped me build resilience
• The necessity of being innovative and adaptable in business to stay ahead of the curve
• Why I value having a growth mindset and how it has helped me build a growth-oriented company culture

Many people come to me for coaching because they've seen the business that I've created, they see me flying first class and travelling the world while not being around that much and want to know how I can run my businesses while living this lifestyle. In this episode I wanted to talk through how I've been able to do that and how I've been able to elevate myself out of the business so I'm not working in the day-to-day operations. It hasn't always been this way, it started out as just me wearing all of the hats, so we're going to go back to the beginning, why I wanted to build a freedom based business and how I scaled Hair Candy to be where it is today.

In this episode I cover:

• My journey to removing myself out of the day-to-day operations of my businesses
• How delegating tasks and creating systems helped to free up my time
• The tasks that I outsource both personally and in my business
• Ways to approach delegating and knowing which tasks to hand over to your team

This week's episode is about how to set boundaries in business and life and how to say no to other people. I wanted to talk about this topic because I feel like it's something that I used to really struggle with. I used to find it so hard to say no to people, especially when it came to running my business. If my team or a customer requested something of me, I felt like I had no choice but to do it. Back then I felt like I had to do this in order to be successful. Now I know that I have the power to choose what I want to do, I think I've got strong boundaries in place and it's something that I believe I can speak on and I can kind of offer some of my experience to you guys.

In this episode I cover:

• My experience with having no boundaries and how I strengthened them over time
• How to put yourself and your needs above anything else
• Ways to navigate different scenarios and the language to use with your team
• The sacrifices that are worth making in order to scale your business

There are so many different ways that you can learn about business and grow. I just can't stress how important it is to just really take that time to educate yourself. If there is something that you don't understand or if there is a part of your business that is not working properly and you can't figure out why, go and read a book on that subject. Whether it's a sales problem or a marketing problem, or if you don't understand finances and you're not sure how to structure the finances in your business, go and read a book about sales, marketing or finances to help you. I feel like a lot of what I've learned and implemented into my businesses has been through reading books, so I'm going to take you through my top 10 books that have helped me get to where I am today.

In this episode I cover:

• 10 of my favourite books for business and life
• A rundown of what they are about
• What I enjoyed most about them
• How they can help you improve your business and life

The books I recommend:

2. How To Be A Great Leader by Gino Wickman and René Boer

3. The 5 Levels Of Leadership by John C. Maxwell

4. The 12 Week Year by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington

5. Atomic Habits by James Clear

6. The Success Principles by Jack Canfield

7. Girl Code by Cara Alwill

I am so excited for you to hear this conversation I had with Tanya Jane. She is a mindset coach, and when we met through a community we are both in, we hit it off immediately and I knew I had to have on the podcast to share all of her wisdom with you. She's Australian and has been living in the US for the past 10 years now. Her story is so interesting from how she got to live over there, what she's done in her career so far and how she pivoted into mindset coaching. You guys will love her energy, she is so much fun.

In this episode we cover:

• How Tanya went from being a dancer to starting her own mindset coaching business
• Ways that investing in coaching changed the trajectory for both of us
• What to do if you feel like you can't break through to your next level
• Finding inspiration to drive you forward
