Did you know that the "inner winter" phase of our menstrual cycle, during menstruation, is a time for introspection and rest?

Here's the truth: You are going to exit your business one day.   Whether you sell it, close it down, or transfer ownership, it's going to happen—unless someone finds the fountain of youth and you hack the art of living forever!   Too many micro and small businesses don't think or operate in a way that supports the big picture of their life. As a result, they miss vital opportunities to make wise decisions and investments that could potentially set them up for financial security long after their days of running the business are over.   No matter how small your business is, you have to be thinking and planning for the future and your retirement.   To help ensure you don't fall into the trap of thinking this is a problem for the future, I've invited Cliff Spolander, a business strategist and exit planner, to talk us through the various ways you can successfully exit your business (and exit does not always mean to sell).   He'll share the steps you can and should be taking right now to ensure you're setting yourself up for success, not just now, but long into your future.   Don't miss this crucial episode! Tune in to learn how to secure your financial future and make strategic decisions that will benefit you long after you've exited your business.   Today, we're breaking new ground—quite literally—by bringing on our first-ever male guest!   Yes, you heard that right. We're shattering our own glass ceiling to introduce you to a man who knows the business world inside out, especially when it comes to the art of the business exit.   And who better to kick off this unprecedented episode than my very own big brother, Cliff Spolander?   Cliff isn't just any guest; he's a seasoned business strategist and exit planner who's here to share his wisdom on a topic that's woefully under-discussed in the female entrepreneur space: How to successfully exit your business!   Without further ado, let's welcome the man, the myth, the legend—my big brother, Cliff Spolander!   In this episode, you're going to learn:   Diverse selling avenues: family, internal staff, or external buyers How to use our Business Reflection Tool to enhance your company Early strategic planning tips to ensure long-term financial security Real-world examples illustrating how to attract the right buyers and secure lucrative deals.

My clients will tell you that I'm always barking on about email marketing, and just how vital it is if you're serious about growing a healthy, sustainable and scalable business.   I recently signed up for a mini-series all about email marketing that was hosted by one of the industry's biggest “coaches/teachers” on the subject (among other things like digital courses and webinars - that might give some indication as to who I'm talking about), and as much as I love and respect her, she made it all sound SO freakin complicated!!   What ended up being an entire week of 60min+ trainings, could've SO easily been condensed into a single workshop and I guarantee would've enabled more to take action and actually start growing their lists, instead of sitting in total shock looking up at the 38794 steps they needed to take as taught by this “expert”.   And it's this frustration that inspired this podcast episode!   My speciality is making things as simple as possible when it comes to business because guess what - it really doesn't have to be complicated to be successful, in fact, the simple things are usually the most successful!   So if you've got a lead magnet, or you're thinking of creating one (or maybe you have no idea what I'm talking about!) either way, I've got you covered as I walk you through exactly what your lead magnet's job is, how to know it's what your audience actually wants AND NEEDS, and how to actually get people to sign up for it so that you can GROW YOUR EMAIL LIST!   —-------------------   Here's the link to the ‘how to get started with email marketing' episode I mention: CLICK HERE   Be sure to join me over on Instagram And join our thriving community The Mothers of Enterprise Society In other news…   Got an idea for a business but not sure where to start?

In today's podcast birthday episode (keep reading to see how we're celebrating!) we're addressing the proverbial elephant in the room when it comes to combining motherhood and building a business = mum guilt. I'm done with us women weighing ourselves down with the constant nag of “I'm not good enough” or “I'm not doing a good enough job”... it's BS. This is exactly why I wanted to bring this conversation about mum guilt to the podcast, and highlight a few really simple ways that you can shift and reframe all those negative thoughts and feelings into something so much more empowering and liberating. I know you want to be there for your kids and provide a beautiful life for them. I also know that you've got your own dreams and ambitions that your soul is longing to pursue. But we can make ourselves feel non-stop conflict when we think those desires are mutually exclusive. YOU have the ability and power to create a narrative where they coexist in harmony, and actually SERVE each other, instead of detract. Where you get to fully show up and serve in your business AND be present with plenty of time flexibility for your family. In this episode, I'll be walking you through just how to achieve that, and I'm also being very open and honest about my journey of navigating mum guilt and the valuable lessons I've learnt in the past 10 years of raising babies and businesses.   PLUS, in this episode, we're celebrating 1 whole year of The Mothers of Enterprise Podcast with a BIG giveaway!

So here's a fun fact: I've been building and growing businesses since before social media.   And that little realisation got me thinking… how did I grow my business without social media? AND why's no one talking about OTHER ways to grow and market that are not based purely on a social media platform or requires social media in order to work (like lead magnets for email marketing)?   So in this episode, I'm sharing exactly what I did (with real-life examples) to build my first business all the way back in 2008 (yes when the recession hit) and my second business that has nothing to do with social media.   Do I love social media? Of course! But it's really not the only way to get seen, build relationships and create raving fans who love to buy from you over and over again.   So join me as a take a little trip down memory lane to help get your creative juices going on ways you can be marketing your beloved business that DOES NOT involve voice-overs, dancing or anything to do with social media!     In other news…   Got an idea for a business but not sure where to start? Or maybe you've started but you have you're not totally confident you've covered those crucial start-up bases? I got you beautiful lady! 

There's no escaping the need to create content. And sometimes it can feel like there's no escaping the confusion, overwhelm and straight-up ‘I can't think of anything to say' writer's block that plagues so many when it comes to keeping up with the need to create and produce content.   If there's one word I think we need more than ever in our businesses it's: SIMPLIFY.   And this episode does just that for your content creation. If you ask yourself these 7 questions, you'll walk away with a long list of effective topics and content ideas to fuel your social media/blog/podcast/newsletters/live streams/reels/YouTube etc content for months.   No this isn't the usual ‘choose your content pillars and go from there' kinda strategy, though nothing against that method, I teach it myself, but instead, here we're getting down to basics and helping you realise that you're actually a treasure trove of amazing content ideas, you just need the right questions to unlock them and them get out of that beautiful head of yours and onto paper… or your Google Doc.

If you're done with feeling like business is a complicated maze with shiny new “experts” pointing you in a 101 different directions, you're going to love this episode.   Something I've learnt in over 15 years of building successful businesses is that business can really be simple. Sure, there are many facets to it and a whole host of different ways we can go about it, but when you strip all that away there are a few very simple, very easy to implement ways of thinking and actions that can help you sell more today, and I mean today!... not after you've followed some 283 step program or gone through some mystical portal or vortex (see my episode on toxic fem-marketing for more on this!).   So if you're ready to strip away the fluff, and equip yourself with the awareness, tools and knowhow to sell more and make more money in your business, then notebooks at the ready for this one as you're going to walk away with a host of new content ideas, mindset shifts and a totally new perspective and understanding of what it means to show up and sell to your people.     In other news…   Got an idea for a business but not sure where to start?

For the first time ever, I'm sharing one of the most powerful exercises for uncovering those limiting beliefs that if left unknown and unchecked will keep showing up to sabotage you every damn time. These exercises are usually exclusively shared with my group coaching and private clients, but it seemed wrong keeping them gated as it's so transformative it truly has the potential to impact your success and plans for 2023 more than any goal setting method, strategy or hack out there! So keeping it for just an exclusive few didn't seem fair as I want everyone to realise their potential and smash their goals this year and beyond. I'm also breaking down how to use this exercise to create affirmations that are 100% tailored to you. No cookie cutter one size fits all list of temporary feel good affirmations, these are specifically tailored to address those newly uncovered limiting beliefs and fears to reprogramme or simply eradicate them.   So journals at the ready for this one and let's dive into that beautiful subconscious of yours and create total clarity and confidence in all your goals and desires!   In other news…   Got an idea for a business but not sure where to start?

As we stare down at a shiny new year, it can be easy to jump head first into creating new goals, resolutions and plans. But before we can set our 2023 destination, it's important (and very empowering) to reflect on 2022 regardless or whether it was “your year” or not. This year as good or bad (or just meh) as its been for you has carried some immensely valuable lessons and created a wiser, stronger and more empowered you.  So in this episode I'll be walking you through a few journal prompts to help you realise and really ground in those lessons as well as setting our focus on the new year and the new goals we want to create.   This episode serves as a little taster for what's in the Vision Board RICHual event which is happening on Monday evening at 8pm, so if you're not signed up and you'd love to spend an evening drinking champagne and crafting an exciting and compelling vision for 2023, get your beautiful self signed up!
