Your Business Boost

The Christmas merch is in the shops, our calendars are filling up with festive catch-ups and the end of the year is now in sight. In today’s episode, I am showing you how you can holiday-proof your business so you can take a restful break this year. 

Taking these three simple steps now will enable you to step away and have a really well-earned break. We cannot sustain the lifestyle of 2021 and I will show you how it’s possible to recharge with the confidence that your business won’t be impacted by doing so.

Holidays are the perfect circuit breaker. The best ideas come to you when you give yourself space. You need to be well for your business to do well. So, boost your business - take a break this summer and enjoy – it’s been a long year for us all.

In this episode of ‘Your Business Boost’ podcast I sit down with financial expert, best-selling author and speaker, Mel Browne. 

Mel and I have both seen first hand the pain that comes from not having your business finances in order. Mel acknowledges that there are so many reasons for this and she is here to change the narrative for women in business. 

‘Most women are passion focused and find dealing with money uncomfortable. The money stories they hold for themselves also have a part to play. We may not realise we are carrying these money stories but, they are absolutely unconsciously keeping our business’ small.’

‘If you want a sustainable business it needs to be able to pay you’ says Mel. 

Mel shares her top tips for becoming financially empowered and what incredible results you can achieve just by understanding your numbers.

She also shares her own business journey as an ‘accidental entrepreneur’ and we talk about the vital part that Mel’s ‘work-wife’ Lawsie has played in her story.  

Mel is the author of four books; More Money for Shoes, Fabulous but Broke, the global best-seller Unf*ck your Finances and my most recent, Budgets Don't Work (But This Does).

We can’t be what we can’t see and as business owners we are constantly on the lookout for women who have walked a path before us. What is it really like to build a long-term, sustainable business?

My guest today is Jen Dugard has done just that. She has been in business for more than 13 years and over this time her business has evolved enormously - from being a trainer to training other fitness professionals to build and scale businesses that align with their values.

Jen has done some things that many business owners have on the bucket list including that shift away from trading time for dollars, international expansion, and productising her offering to becoming a known brand.

This is a really honest chat about how all of those things came to be and it is going to show you just how much your business can (and should) evolve over its lifetime.

Today’s guest is Hannah Statham, founder of  Media Mortar, a content marketing agency based in Brisbane. Last year I had the privilege of supporting both Hannah and her husband Chris as they prepared their businesses for the arrival of their gorgeous daughter Penny.

In our chat Hannah talks about how she went about how she weaned herself off her business, setting it up to succeed without her and how she did it on her own terms. And succeed it did! But I will let Hannah share the wins with you herself. 

Hannah has some fantastic tips and insights that she is sharing today. This is not just for parents-to-be - if you are ever going to have to step away from your business for a period of time, you are going to get so much from our chat.
