Your Business Boost

I’ve spoken openly about my depletion at the end of last year and I have made a vow to take better care of myself this year. I know I’m not the only one who ended the year with an empty tank so perhaps you are on a similar mission? We can start the year with good intentions but once real life kicks in either later this month, those intentions can fall away.

How can we be better at prioritising our health and well-being this year? 

My guest today, Dr Kellie Rose, is here to help. Dr Kellie runs a thriving executive health coaching business, where she empowers, inspires and supports women in business to perform, lead and succeed through the science of wellbeing. 
 
It was Kellie’s personal experience of debilitating burnout several years ago that led her on a mission to prevent other women from experiencing burnout like she did. 

Dr Kellie is a wealth of information and she has some really easily implementable tips for you.  So if you finished up 2022 feeling pretty ordinary, you are going to get so much from my chat with Dr Kellie.

When my marriage ended 5 years ago, I actively sought out other women who had been through a similar experience. I found comfort in their stories and soaked up their learnings to give me hope that there was in fact Life After Divorce. 

One of those women was Cathrine Mahoney and I am thrilled to have her as my guest in this episode.

Cathrine is a former publicist and author of the most hilarious book ‘Currently Between Husbands’.

As a self-confessed over-sharer, this book is a warts-and-all look at her whole life – from her early crushes growing up in Wales, to her years working with some of the world's biggest stars at Sony Music, the end of her marriage to one of the country’s highest profile sports stars to navigating life and love as a ‘solo’ mum, and everything in between. 

It’s like Bridget Jones’ Divorce Diary and is proof that there is life, love and plenty of laughter after divorce.

So if you or anyone you care about is going through a tough time at the moment, you will find great hope and lots of laughs in my chat with Cathrine Mahoney.

You can purchase ‘Currently Between Husbands’

Lise Carlaw and Sarah Wills (aka 'Those Two Girls') are the girlfriends we wish we had in our gang. These besties are hugely successful media personalities, hosting hit local and national radio shows for years as well as being in-demand speakers & MCs.

When they turned 40, they launched the other must-listen-on-a-Monday podcast called Forty where they celebrate the life lessons and stories of popular and everyday women in their forties.

In 2022 they published their first book Forty Favours the Brave and it is hands down one of my books of the year - possibly ever. 

The book follows the same theme as the podcast  - the girls and other women from all walks of life, share insightful tales about entering their forties and beyond: things they wish they'd known, relationship changes, heartbreaks survived, confidence gained and the joy of life in its second act. 

It was such a treat to sit down and talk to the girls about the book, their friendship and life in their 40s. They are generous with all that they share and utterly hilarious so strap yourself in for my chat with Lise and Sarah.

Enjoy x

It’s time to rest.
 
You can’t be “on” all year long. 52 weeks of go, go, go will break you - as it has broken many women in my world this year. 
 
It’s time to hit that pause button and recalibrate after your massive year.
 
Here are some tips to make your break as restful and restorative as possible.

In this episode I share my five big business learnings from what turned out to be a roller-coaster of a year for me.

It has been a year of high-highs and some pretty ordinary lows - all of which have had an impact on both my business and my life.

But it’s always in the unpredictability and chaos where we gain the biggest learnings and today I am sharing mine.

I have also put together something special to help you wrap up your year - to reflect on your amazing achievements, celebrate your successes, gather your learnings and set your intentions for 2023.

The biggest lesson that every business owner learned when Covid hit back in March 2020 was that you can not rely on one source of revenue. Putting all your eggs in one basket is a risky strategy for business growth.

In this episode, I take you through 10 different ways you could consider delivering your services to make them more accessible and appealing to current and potential clients.

This is not a shopping list of all the things that you need to be doing to have a successful business. This is not the Fastrack to your First Million. In fact, some of these revenue streams may cost you money in the short term. But they are going to have a positive impact on your business in other ways.

I want to get you thinking - before you start your planning for next year- what you could do, not what you should do in order to boost your business.

You are in the driver's seat of your life. You have chosen to run your own business and that gives you even more power than regular folk to create a life that you love.

But what are you doing about it?

In the day-to-day grind it’s easy to slip into reactive mode and to lose sight of this. Before you know it, a month or three months or even a year has gone by before you pause to consider the woman you have become.

So before you get stuck into making plans for next year, pause and contemplate:

Who do you want to be in 2023?

My mission is to make running a business as pain free as possible. I love to uncomplicate the complicated and I’m a sucker for anything that can shrink a ten step process down to a couple of steps and get the same or even better outcome.

* How Marissa was able to simplify her business and life by working just 10 hours a week

We know the importance of rest but as business owners, taking a proper break is often easier said than done. 

In this episode, I am talking you through the necessary steps to prepare for a relaxing break this year, even if you're a solopreneur. 

You will learn: 

• The importance of taking regular breaks throughout the year, not just at Christmas.
• How to prepare your business and communicate your plans to key people before taking a break.
• The brilliance of batching work in advance.
• Why you need to be setting realistic expectations for yourself and others while you are on holiday.

"The only person who can make this happen is you."

These tips will help you prepare for and make the most of your holiday. You might be a bit hesitant to pre-plan but trust me, it's worth it and you will be thanking yourself for that preparation come year end.
