Business Your Way

Welcome to WĀ-HINE, a podcast for wāhine in business

This episode explores how to thrive in business when menopause hits by embracing physical & emotional changes, gaining knowledge, & redesigning your business & lifestyle to support long-term wellbeing.Let's have a heart-to-heart ❤️If you're a middle-aged woman in business who's suddenly finding it all… a lot harder, you're not imagining it. You're not broken. You're not lazy. And no, you haven't lost your edge

If your workload is overflowing, your team is maxed out, and your pipeline's heating up, it's probably time to hire. With the right plan, it doesn't have to be scary.You know that feeling. Business has been ramping up. You're doing well, but it's also getting “a bit much”. You're wondering if maybe, just maybe, it's time to hire someone.

Scaling your business isn't about piling more onto your already full plate. It's about stepping into your role as a leader; bringing in the right people and empowering them to take ownership.But making that shift? Easier said than done.Why Is It So Hard to Move from Doing to Leading?Ever feel like you're the glue holding everything together? You're making every decision, overseeing every detail, and keeping the wheels turning. But instead of feeling in control, you're exhausted, overwhelmed, and stuck. It's like if you take your hands off the wheel for even a second, everything might fall apart.Here's the good news: this is a normal phase. Every service business owner reaches this point, the moment when working harder is no longer the answer. But (and this is a big but!) you can't stay here. If you don't make the transition from doer to leader, your business growth will stall.The challenge? Being a great business owner doesn't automatically make you a great leader. The skills that got you here aren't the same ones that will take you forward.That's why I want to share 2 game-changing books that helped me navigate this transition:

We explore 4 easy ways to strengthen your proposals by avoiding some key project proposal mistakes that confuse clients and delay decisions.Ever sent a proposal bid and heard … nothing? Or maybe you got a response, but it was full of questions instead of a clear yes? Or how about the “I'll think about it”?If that sounds familiar, your proposal might be creating doubt instead of confidence.There's a real art and also a bit of a science to writing a good proposal. Keen on making it easy for clients to say YES to your proposal, but need a simple proposal template for small business to get you on your way?

Clunky business processes create chaos, waste time, and cause missed opportunities. In this episode, I will explain how to streamline your business in simple steps.Is your business paddling smoothly—or are you splashing around?Running a business is like paddling a waka (canoe). When your team is in sync, you move forward with speed and purpose. But if everyone is paddling at their own leisure—or worse, if you don't even have a paddle—you won't have that same propelling force. Or worse, you'll go in circles, drift aimlessly, or work way too hard just to stay afloat.That's exactly what happens when your business processes aren't clear. Instead of efficiency, you get chaos, wasted time, and missed opportunities. But don't worry—fixing this isn't as overwhelming as it sounds!4 Steps To Streamline Your Inefficient Business Processes in 2025✅ Get Clear on Your ObjectivesAll business processes should have a purpose. Ask yourself: Why does this task matter? What's the best way to do it? How will I know it's working? Clarity = success.✅ Standardise Your Way of Doing ThingsIf you're making things up as you go, it's time to document what works best. Create repeatable steps so you (and your team) don't waste time figuring things out every time. Remember, your business processes should reflect what makes your business unique!✅ Automate Where PossibleAutomation isn't just a fancy extra—It's a game changer. Tools can handle scheduling, invoicing, follow-ups, and more, freeing you up to focus on strategy and growth.✅ Keep Tweaking & ImprovingWhat works today might not work next year. Regularly review your business processes and ask, How can I make this more efficient?

The Main TakeawayQuarterly business plans are the bridge between your annual goals and daily tasks. They turn intentions into actionable steps that drive meaningful progress.Ready to Make 2025 Your Best Year? Let's Talk PLANNING

The Main Takeaway Of This Episode: We discuss the five key ingredients that will help you plan for your best year in business yet. Each ingredient is a building block for success, and when combined, they create a solid foundation for scaling your business and enriching your life. This time of the year, many of us have business growth on the brain. But before we dive headfirst into goal-setting and planning for the year ahead, let's hit pause for a second.

The holiday season can be a lot for us business owners—full of joy, stress, excitement, worry and all the feels in between. In this episode, I share how I've learned to thrive on the wild, emotional rollercoaster of it all.

Be honest, how often do we juggle work and life responsibilities, especially during the holiday season

Growing your business should be exciting, not exhausting.

It's not exactly a secret that complexity creeps in as our business grows - more tools, more processes, higher client demands - until suddenly, it feels like your business is running you! BUT WHAT IF IT DIDN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY? I'm sharing three actionable strategies to help you streamline, reduce the overwhelm, and focus on what truly fuels growth.

Just recently, I helped a client who was struggling with her business. She did really well in growing the business to a certain point. Then… EVERYTHING STALLED, despite long hours and lots of efforts. She was ready to throw in the towel and contacted me in a last resort effort. Once I had a closer look at her business and offered some solutions, SHE FREED UP HOURS EVERY WEEK. She even increased her client capacity by 20%.

Sometimes, things don't quite go as planned. And that's exactly what happened with this podcast episode!

CULTURAL HERITAGE + JOY = BUSINESS SUCCESS

If you think you know everything about Etsy, think again!

You know me, I've always been a bit lukewarm about business theories from people who haven't walked in a business owner's shoes. They can feel so disconnected from the real world, right?

If you're running a B2B service business making NZD100,000 a year (give or take), YOU CAN DOUBLE YOUR INCOME IN JUST 90 DAYS. Easy? Of course not! Otherwise we'd all be doing it.

Today I'm doing something scary. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone to share something quite personal with you. I'm doing it because I believe that by being vulnerable, we can truly support and uplift each other. Ironically, this episode is about HOW FEAR CAN HELP OR HURT US IN OUR BUSINESS JOURNEY. Fear is a natural part of any journey, especially in business. It can take on many forms—some fears are grounded in reality, but many are unsubstantiated. Yet, the hardest part is that we often suffer in silence. Honestly, when was the last time you openly talked about your fears?

I know so many of us are feeling the weight of business challenges right now. It's tough, and it breaks my heart to see so many amazing business owners struggling. That's why I'm sharing something super important that could be a game-changer for you: YOUR MINDSET. Because, ultimately, SUCCESS IN BUSINESS IS ABOUT WINNING THE MENTAL GAME. We often focus on new strategies, untapped markets, cutting costs, but the real battleground is in our heads. It's about:

Swapping jandals for snuggly blankets? Yep, it's routine refresh time! See… Daily routines rock! They can boost productivity, speed things up, and prevent mistakes. Routines help make the boring stuff second nature, leaving more brainpower for the fun, creative tasks. Without a routine, you're more likely to slip up, miss details, or forget important tasks—yikes! But with a solid morning and evening routine, you breeze through your to-do list effortlessly. But here's the catch: ROUTINES SHOULDN'T BE RIGID. They should evolve with you, adapting to new seasons and challenges. Think of them as your personal autopilot, getting smarter and more efficient over time. So, embrace the change, fine-tune those rituals, and let them power you through every season! But Also,… How do YOU tackle your routines? Are you as much a fan as I am? Do you review them regularly? Do you agree they affect your productivity and mindset? I'm keen to hear! I'm sure you get it. I'm a firm believer in the power of purposeful daily rituals, and as a Full Focus Planner Certified Pro, I've seen firsthand how establishing AND refreshing these rituals can impact productivity, efficiency, and mindset at work. Have a look at this golden oldie if you want to know more about the Full Focus Planner. https://sandrajulian.co/full-focus-planner/ Rate, Review, And Subscribe For More Business Wisdom!

There are some lessons to be learnt from a dog's 'great escape'.

In this second episode of the mini-series THE INNER GAME OF BUSINESS, we dive deep into the transformative power of entrepreneurial manifestation. BUT before you dismiss it as some woo-woo magic, let me assure you, it's far from that! Manifestation, in the context of business success, is about aligning your thoughts, beliefs, and actions with your desired outcomes. It's NOT about waving magic wands or chanting spells; it's about setting bold visions, taking deliberate actions, and embracing a mindset primed for success.

“It's not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.” I'm sure you've heard these words from Sir Edmund Hillary before. The reason they resonate with so many of us is because they apply to all aspects of life. Business included.

We have had many, MANY conversations on the Business Your Way podcast around SCALING.

In this episode I speak with Callum Armstrong From Paste And Publish. Callum is a thinker, very self-aware and utterly in tune with his environment and his part in it. As for his business, … first, he didn't want an agency then he started an agency then…. he moved away from the agency.

Let's talk hurdles.

Let's be honest, …. every pivotal moment in your business journey probably began with a powerful question. I know it's true for my business journey. Because,…What use is coming up with all these smarty-pants answers, if the questions you asked are not on the mark? Seriously, DO WE SPEND ENOUGH TIME EXPLORING WHAT THE RIGHT QUESTION MAY BE?Or are we more interested in a quick fix (… because who has time)?

What needs to change in 2024 to make it better than 2023? The answer I'm coming up with is clear as anything: TIME! I need TIME! ⏰ It's not really a surprise, considering I'm running a service business. In a service business, ... IF YOU ARE THE MASTER OF YOUR TIME, YOU ARE THE MASTER OF YOUR WORLD. But that extra nugget of time I'm craving,.... Unlike that out of the blue massive gold find in Bendigo the other day, .... that's not going to happen for us. 24 hours a day is what we get. THAT'S IT. NO MORE! So, what can I change to make better use of these 24 hours I have? I've been in business long enough to know the answer:✔️ My mindset✔️ My intentions✔️ My habits So let's unpack that baby... (or all three of them). Do You Need Some Help With That? Using habits, mindset, and intentions to free up time isn't easy. It takes grit andaccountability. If you want someone to help you, or hold you accountable, we can work together on that inthe next 3 months. I'm not talking about some cookie cutter program, because let's be honest, we're alldifferent. ✔️ It's a road trip with me as your co-pilot. ✔️ You're the pilot, and we're starting with your unstoppable vision. Because we have toknow where we're going. ✔️ Then we create a plan that sets your business up for the future. What change do youneed to implement and what do you think is achievable? ✔️ No jargon, no fluff. Straight to the matter. So let's make this your best year yet and go on a business adventure together!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but for every podcast I turn to, “goals” are the topic of the moment. The next thing? We get busy jotting down aspirations, milestones, dreams, and ideals. AND UNICORNS AND FAIRY TALES

DISTANCE OFTEN BRINGS THE CLARITY WE SEEK What I mean by that is this: We may feel like we're busy doing nothing during the Christmas break, BUT in taking a break from the day to day, we're actually doing an awful lot!

Every business battles to survive “the busy season” at some point during the year. I've been in the thick of it in the last few months and it was the trigger to collate my 6 Tips For Managing The Busy Season (you can call them “tools” if you like). I'm sharing them with you, so neither of us gets consumed by the overwhelm. Because, personally, I can deal with being busy and working under pressure, but I'm not a fan of that drowning feeling. And these 6 sensible habits are what I do to avoid it! (I threw in a bonus tip for good morale too!) We All Need Some Help With This! Let me know! I'm interested to hear what the tools are that help YOU move through the busy seasons without the overwhelm? So let's start a conversation! I'm really keen to share the wisdom. Because together, we know so much more!

This week I want to come to you Raw and Real: I'm struggling with CAPACITY ISSUES in my events business. See, the events industry is seasonal, and right now... it's crazy time! I mean seriously crazy! To help my events business team, I've had my head down. Get on with the work to get us to the other end. But of course, that will resolve nothing in the longer term. BECAUSE NEXT YEAR....

After giving the mic to Lynda, my editor, this week it's Mattie Belsack from Bellbird Writing's turn to share her favourite BYW podcast episode. Mattie is my content writer. Mattie's and my journey together started before Business Your Way existed. She started writing for Auaha (my business events company) in 2020, at the start of the pandemic. When I started the Business Your Way podcast and blog, she was the natural choice to help create the best podcast episode for small business owners. Or at least, the written content side of it. When I ask Mattie about her favourite BYW podcast episode, she says this: “ That must be the episode with Rachel Reiter about what it means to be a mum in business. I love it because it is such a deeply human conversation that doesn't shy away from being vulnerable. As a business owner and a mum too, I recognise that it doesn't get more honest than that. Sometimes, hearing somebody else admit that it's not always easy is all it takes to recognise we are not alone. But also, that our struggles are real and there is a way through it. “ So with that said, here's Mattie's favourite BYW podcast episode. www.sandrajulian.co/mum-in-business/ I hope you enjoy it!

Instead of Sandra introducing this week's episode, you have myself on the mic and I'm talking about my favourite episode of Business Your Way. But before I get into that, let me introduce myself. I'm Lynda Stevenson of LJS Creative Services and a member of Sandra's podcast team. My role is the podcast editor/manager which involves taking the raw audio, adding an intro, outro and music, along with any intermission voice overs. I make sure the overall conversation flows well and sounds good when you listen in your car, on your daily walk, or wherever you listen to your favourite podcasts. I also create the audiograms, and update the social graphics to promote each episode on the various platforms. If you'd like to hand over any or all parts of your own podcast, or thinking of starting your own, get in touch, you can find my links in the show notes. My favourite episode is episode 78, which is 8 Essential Tools For Every Small Business. I'll explain in the podcast why this is a stand-out for me. I hope you enjoy it!

WHAT IS THE #1 FACTOR IN BUSINESS SUCCESS? ❌ It's not the products you offer ❌ It's not the marketing ❌ It's not the investments ❌ It's not the hours you work I'm making this sound very black and white, which we all know it isn't.

It's the number one question on your mind if the talks with my BYW clients are anything to go by. Of course, in all honesty, the answer is up to you. To me, it most definitely is. Although I'm not going to pretend it's always smooth sailing. But what I do want to say is that you don't have to remain stuck in the financial challenges of a small business and the feeling that, despite your exhausting efforts, you're getting nowhere! There is a way through and out of it! What it takes is some good foundations and a methodical approach of elimination and insight. So, ...head over to the blog or the podcast and let's tackle this puppy! Do You Need Some Help With That? It often takes a fresh pair of eyes to point out what may be in plain sight. That's the case for all of us, me included. (It's why I have a business coach too, despite being one.) SO,... if you would like me to have a look at your business to help you identify the cause for your money and small business hurdles, you only have to book A 60 Minute Business Clarity Coaching Session. https://hub.sandrajulian.co/offers/aF8J8oyz/checkout You know what to do!

Investing in your business can be a scary affair! BUT, I would argue that taking the leap in business investments is non-negotiable. Call it essential. And the alternative is even more frightening!

Because just forking out your hard earned cash on a whim is not what you would call smart or strategic. I would never encourage you to do THAT! It has to be considered. Thought through. The question is... HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S A GREAT INVESTMENT AND NOT SENSELESS SPENDING? I say it's time we face our investment fears head on! Do You Want Some Help With That?
