As business owners, it's important to make time to regularly check-in on our business. The end of the quarter is an ideal time to drill down on how everything is going.

Things can often feel worse than they actually are but when we stop and look at the facts, we may be surprised by how well we're actually doing.

In this episode I talk about the importance of setting aside time for a formalised review of the metrics that matter most to your businesses. 

I will give you the steps to follow to give you a clear picture of exactly where you stand - then you can make informed decisions and create actionable plans to stay on track with your vision and goals.

I love taking time to celebrate big (and not so big) milestones in mine and my client’s businesses and today I would love you to join me as I celebrate 100 episodes of Your Business Boost.

That’s 100 weeks in a row you have had me in your ears -  I don’t think there is anything else in my life that I have done consistently for 100 weeks!

In this episode I take a look back at some of the highlights of the last two years. I share my biggest learnings and mike-drop moments and how creating this podcast has boosted my own business and others.

I share the process I follow to choose who I interview, what makes a great podcast guest and who have been my all-time faves.

I’ll also give you the scoop of what’s coming up in Your Business Boost so make sure you stick around as there is more goodness to come.

I also received some beautiful feedback on the podcast in the lead up to the recording of this episode. I appreciate every single person who takes the time each week to have me in their ears - it means the world to me that what I share is having such a positive impact on your business and your life.

Here’s to the next 100!

Where are you making things harder than they need to be? 

Are you one of the (many) people who thinks if something feels too easy then there must be something wrong?

Having seen the inner workings of 100s of businesses, I could fill a book with examples of overcomplicated business ideas that went horribly wrong. Ideas that when put in practice made life way more complicated than it needed to be.

But I could fill another BIGGER book of simple ideas that went right. 

Overly complicated businesses inevitably lead to burnt out business owners.

Let’s stop all the time, money and energy leaks by looking at where you can simplify your business.

There are some really shocking statistics around women and money. The sad truth is that many of us lack vital knowledge and skill when it comes to managing money and building wealth.

This does not only apply to those of us running a business. 

Often it’s a case of we don’t know what we don’t know. It can feel overwhelming to figure out on our own. So we don’t and live in blissful ignorance until something terrible happens and we have to deal with it.

In this episode I am introducing you to one of my amazing clients, Molly Benjamin, founder of Ladies Finance Club. Molly has made it her business to educate women of all ages and stages of life about finance and she is here to share some great tips to help us manage our money. I love how Molly and Ladies Finance Club make money matters fun, inclusive and empowering.

There are endless opportunities that we could pursue as business owners. 

But we don’t need to catch every ball that is thrown at us.

Every opportunity comes at a cost - time, resources, money and most importantly - energy!

It might be the best looking or sounding idea on paper. It might even appear good for business, but is it good for you?

How do you know?

In today’s episode, I am sharing some advice on how you can identify what a good opportunity is for you and how to get comfortable saying “no” to what isn’t.

As small business owners, we don’t always have big budgets for marketing. With social media organic reach dwindling and the cost of digital ads increasing, we need to consider other tactics to get noticed by new clients and stay top of mind with our existing ones.

Becoming our own publicist and getting free media exposure is a great way to boost your business and it won’t cost you a cent. The value of great press can be worth thousands in terms of business opportunities so it is well worth the effort.

But how do we do it? What’s the magic formula?

My guest in this episode is Liz Nable, a former TV journalist turned entrepreneur. Like so many business owners, Liz had no formal business training when we started out. What she did have was a ton of media skills which she used to turn little-known brand fitness brand, Xtend Barre, into a household name here in Australia.

Liz now teaches other business owners how to be their own publicist - to seek, get and leverage media exposure to drive growth in their business and she is sharing her secrets with us today.

She dispels the myth that getting media coverage is illusive or exclusive to people with a high-profile. She removes all the smoke and mirrors to show us what action we can take to boost our business.

Do you find it hard to focus? Wonder where your time goes each day? Worried you might be suffering with toxic tech-habits?

You are not alone. 

My guest in this episode is, Dr Kristy Goodwin - a digital wellbeing and neuro productivity speaker, author and researcher. Dr Kristy's work shows us how we can use technology in ways that are aligned to our neurobiology - the way our brains and bodies are designed to work.  

As you will hear in our chat today, Dr Kristy does not advocate for digital amputation, cancelling our Netflix subscriptions or never going on social media again. 

Instead she gives practical strategies to eradicate our unhelpful digital habits and replace them with new ones that will improve not only our performance and productivity but our relationships, physical and mental wellbeing. 

Kristy's new book “Dear Digital, We Need to Talk” is available now.

As business owners we can have the tendency to go looking for solutions to our “problems” in all the wrong places. There is a lot of noise out there about what we should and shouldn’t be doing - it can be really hard to know our own minds.

But what if we had the tools to tap into and trust our own inner knowing? To get out of our heads and really listen to what our heart is telling us?

My guest today is Helen Jacobs - a renowned psychic who followed her own heart by quitting her successful PR career to support thousands of people all over the world through her work as a medium.

She has published her third book ‘Follow Your Heart’ - the practical and inspiring guide to tuning into what you really want, and how to work with the Universe to make it happen.

In this episode, Helen shares tools and insights we can use in our own lives. She believes everyone, not just psychics like her, is intuitive and it is that intuition that can help us live the life we dreamed of if we tap into it.

You can purchase Helen’s book 'Follow Your Heart'
