In this episode we meet Cheryl Burgess. Cheryl and her husband Adrian now run a multi business operation. This is a business started in 2012 when they wanted to buy a Pilates reformer for personal use at home. Finding a supplier overseas was easy EXCEPT! instead of buying 1 reformer - the minimum order was for 10 reformers !! And that's how it started. They pre sold the other 9 Pilates reformers before they even arrived in Sydney. The first growth step was to include commercial use Pilates equipment – something they wish they had moved into earlier than they did!

Dr Artika Tyner is an amazing woman, a human rights lawyer, book publisher and book store owner! Planting People Growing Justice She lives by the credo: When you see a problem, find a solution. She tells us that she realised that "a reader is more likely to find a black dog on the cover of a book than a black person" and set about to find a solution. She started publishing books Her first book stores were pop-ups - at festivals and markets, offering the early books she published. In 2017 Planting People Growing Justice was named as small business champion which was extremely fortuitous as this gave them access to business training and a mentor. She says having this mentor as well as others has been indispensable to their success. And successful they indeed are. She talks honestly about in the beginning she dreamt of "buying a building for her book store" and then didn't have step 2 ... no pricing plan, no overall strategy for financial viability - which is why the mentors were so important. Dr Artika realised "I had to reconcile in my mind: this is a business, this is not a hobby. For this to last for the generations to come meant that we had to have a very sound strategy in place from the outset!" She tells us some pretty disturbing data from the US: "1 in 4 children are not reading at grade level by 4th grade If you're not reading at grade level by 4th grade you are 4 times more likely to drop out of school And if you drop out of school you are 3 and half times more likely to enter into the tangled web of incarceration and be arrested Planting People Growing Justice is NOT just about selling books alone it's about increasing literacy and engagement" Dr Artika is truly on a mission and when you listen to this conversation I believe you will be as inspired and uplifted as she is to bring about change in real time. In recognition of her leadership and service, she is the recipient of more than two dozen awards that include: Women in Business, American Small Business Champion, International Educator Citizen, and American Bar Association Difference Makers. She has been featured in a variety of media outlets. She is a prolific, award-winning author of adult and children's books that includes: Amazing Africa: A to Z and The Inclusive Leader: Taking Intentional Action for Justice and Equity. She serves as a global citizen by supporting education, entrepreneurship, and women's leadership initiatives in Africa. In furtherance of her philanthropic efforts, she created Planting People Growing Justice Leadership Institute, a nonprofit organization committed to promoting literacy and diversity in books.

In this solo and very personal episode I share with you how I dealt with it - and it is NOT about having more willpower We are in business - we have tons of willpower This calls for something much deeper - and totally different In this short (less than 15 minute) episode I walk you through the steps I took Am I completely "cured" ... time will tell
Like many business owners Angela Ficken reached a point where she was burning the candle at both ends. She took the plunge to start private practice … and thought she would “hang out her shingle” and that's all she needed to do. It didn't work out that way and in this episode Angela tells us how she overcame the “hustle of being in business which is a constant grind” She says that she learned very fast that: “Your pay check is as much as you hustle” Angela has built her business Progress Welness into a worldwide brand. She offers online products that take her expertise out into the world for a wide range of clients. She tells us that creating the brand allowed the creativity side of her personality. In this episode Angela walks us through the process she used to build her brand and the entire suit of online products – so helpful for every business person. Angela Ficken, LICSW is a full-time psychotherapist in private practice. She specializes in OCD, eating disorders, and anxiety-related concerns. She started her career at McLean Hospital, which is one of the top-ranking psychiatric hospitals in the country and affiliated with Harvard University. She was the head social worker on an inpatient unit that focuses on anxiety and depression. During her time at McLean, she trained in exposure therapy and became certified in CBT and DBT. Shortly thereafter, she worked at Harvard University as a primary therapist for undergraduate and graduate students. During her time there, she taught students CBT and DBT skills to help them manage a range of challenging emotions that young adults face daily. Angela has focused her attention on working with young adults and entrepreneurs primarily after noticing that both groups struggled with anxiety disorders and stress-related issues due to life transitions and the uncertainty of what was coming next in their lives. The struggle, as they say, is "real". She has spent years fine-tuning her practice and building her business into something more than a standard full-time private practice. In this conversation she tells us how she has achieved this - with practical and actionable steps we can all implement. She began writing for Huffington Post as an expert, which then catapulted her into writing for other major online sources which include Marriage.com where she is a verified expert, YourTango.com, ThriveGlobal.com, and has been quoted in Oprah Magazine, and on Fastcompany.com, Inc.com, Forbes.com, MSN.com, Bustle.com, Popsugar.com, Buzzfeed.com, Nylon magazine, Getstigma.com, and Justluxe.com. She has also been a guest on Onward Nation with Stephen Woessner where she talked about OCD and intrusive thoughts, as well as on the radio in Chicago and Reno speaking about stress and anxiety. Through her writing and hearing from her clients how difficult it was finding an understanding therapist—one who could actually teach coping strategies to manage difficult emotions—she decided to create the Worried to Well-Balanced: Practical Skills to Deal With Everyday Stressors: Worried to Well-balanced course to reach more people other than those she could meet within her office. The course is designed to help those who have significant stress in their lives and struggle to find ways of coping and managing their emotions.

My guest today is Keli Spanier and more than 12 years ago she started making funny and creative cards – for a whole bunch of reasons In this episode she tells us all about how she has grown Colette Paperie from those first cards into a global company As Keli says: "After spending several years at a corporate job I began Colette Paperie in 2009 to solve two problems: lose the soul-sucking job, and create funny cards." It became her goal to revive snail mail in a way that made it impossible to resist - by creating cards that you simply have to send. Her cards are located in over 500 stores worldwide after a decade of hard work, dedication + grit to making this thing work and she tells us the highs and the lows in this episode. Her cards are in floral shops, boutiques, museum shops, salons, and even restaurants. The best feature of the cards (aside from their irreverent sayings) is the brightly covered envelope sure to stand out in anyone's mailbox. Keli does it all herself: draws, prints, cuts, folds + packages all of her cards, stickers, notepads + keychains all in her Cincinnati studio. Keli says "It's pretty ridiculous." Personally I think it is amazing! as is she! I love cards and I think you will love Keli's cards and really find this episode extremely enlightening about how to take a create pursuit and enjoy a viable business.

Stacey Hylen is my guest today and she started her first business when she was in third grade and then an even more successful business when she was 11 years old. Stacey says: "Many people feel they are getting paid well, just not enough to reflect their brilliance at what they do and the kind of results and support they create for their clients. I help people Raise their Rates" In this conversation she talks about how she works with clients to help them Raise their Rates. She describes herself as a “natural optimiser” and all the way through our conversation you can hear how she optimises!! No matter what business you are in – Stacey has a message for you. She started her business when she and her husband moved to Quebec in Canada from the US. in a new country speaking mostly French - 99.8% with a young baby and in a small village Her husband used to joke that "If it doesn't work out you could always go work at the local hot dog stand" and Stacey says "There is NO WAY that was going to happen" So she made it work. How often are we inspired to make something work because some one tells us it won't work!! The French expression she used is “Casse-croûte literally translates to 'break-crust' but it's really a snack.” Stacey has a recently released book "Hidden Profit: more clients & cash" and she mentioned her "Raise your Rates Masterclass" and you can register for the next one here: https://www.raiseyourratesmasterclass.com Her website is: https://www.staceyhylen.com My guess is you are listening to these podcasts because .....

Suzanne is a mindset coach for music-preneurs and creatives and she says it is time to #RedesigntheHustle! Combining her 18+ years in the music industry with a Master's in Psychology she now helps creatives reach their goals. This is more than time management solutions – this is growth mindset meets getting clarity on the next steps. There's a reason the business is Rock/ Star The solidity with grounding like a rock while reaching for the stars! Suzanne says “Things will always get messy, and that's OK. Get through the mess!” She says she wishes she had realised earlier that “Anything is monetizable” and she explains how not knowing this held her back in the early days. Suzanne gives us practical ways to bootstrap – the various ways she had to in the first 3-4 years. She talks about the importance of not just understanding the difference between charging by the hour and the value created for her clients. It was when she absolutely believed in the value she creates she was able to “take the steps and not get in my own way” – this was thanks to the support of a money mindset coach. Suzanne believes that everything comes back to mindset and how we think and what we believe. There is so much to love about this episode and conversation with Suzanne.

Destini Copp says "You may feel like no-one is watching, no-one is seeing what you are doing. Keep on going, keep moving forward. People are watching. People are seeing what you are doing. You are building your future. Believe in what you are doing and keep going." When Destini started her business, she started big and was looking to scale and grow quickly. Then she cycled around and went to work 1:1 with clients - and she wishes she had done this earlier. So many business owners want to "go big and grow fast" Destini talks to us about how important the 1:1 work is in building the foundations. She talks about pricing and the process she has used to reach the pricing models she has today. Dr Destini Copp is a college marketing professor turned online entrepreneur.

Allison Jackson Fitness originally started out as FitMomsofNJ.com in 2010 when she began to realize how many of her mom-friends were either struggling to lose weight, looking for ways to incorporate exercise into their busy lives or trying to figure out how to prioritize their health while caring for their family. Fitness is absolutely her passion. When she was in her teens, she used to read her Dad's Muscle & Fitness magazines and attempt to lift weights and work out in their unfinished basement with a weight bench and some dumbbells. Her mom took Allison to Jazzercise classes with her. She struggled with her weight, but it was during those early years that she caught the fitness bug. Allison competes annually in Re: starting your own business: "Trust in yourself and rip off the band aid. You'll be surprised just how successful you can be" Some of my personal highlights from this conversation: Allison felt like the business was real when locals started saying to her "I know you, you're Allison Jackson Fitness - I've been watching your videos" She talks about how important it is to find the right business coach. "The right business coach is going to fast track you and get you through the rough points" She says "No matter what your goal there is a coach who can help you – go find them" Allison explains how she went from her early days where she gave sessions to family "for free" to charging what she is worth – she has 3 different ways she reached a dollar amount: bartering was an early method she looked at what her coaches were charging and what value are they giving me and started from there - and says "As I built out my clients and my schedule gets more full – up with my prices" AND Evaluate your time, your hours. How much time are you spending coaching a person and the things you have to do – and put a dollar price on your hours. Allison believes in 3 pillars - fun, authenticity and healthy This conversation is all 3 of these and much more Where to find Allison Jackson? website: www.allisonjacksonfitness.com social media links https://www.instagram.com/allisonjacksonfitness/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/allisonrjackson/ https://www.facebook.com/allisonrjackson Allison's book: From Flab to Fab Allison's Podcast: Fit to Lead You can find me, Ingrid Thompson: website: www.healthynumbers.com.au LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ingridthompson Take Your Business Financial Health Check click here My guess is you are listening to these podcasts because .....

Katie Chonacas is a multi disciplinary artist who utilises her voice to inspire change and transformation in people who want to make an impact on the world Katie Chonacas is the first NFT artist to release a poem on love on blockchain. "A Lover's Fairytale" was released on World Poetry Day and is available on Amazon. Katie Chonacas writes for Huff Post. Katie has appeared in many TV shows and films including Law & Order: SVU, Cols Case, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, CSI: NY. She has a popular podcast: She's All over the Place When I asked Katie why she wanted to be a guest on the show she said: "Educating and sharing over two decades of experience in entertainment and business. How I got started, key facts and gems, books, mentors, mentality, sharing, communicating, having a team, not doing it all alone. Being open to the unknown & the unexpected, having a blueprint to guide but allowing space so the ego and control do not ruin the vision, the hope, the dream. Mindfulness, what, who and what we are listening to, noise pollution. The importance of culture, travel, listening, and how to take massive action every single day. Here's to a great start. :) Thank you!" I knew this would be a memorable conversation - and it is!

Money scares many people. But it doesn't scare Ean Price Murphy. She doesn't want business owners to have to worry about their “crazy” finances anymore! People who are nervous or confused about money work with Ean to become confident, comfortable and knowledgeable around money. She wasn't born a bookkeeper. She learned it slowly. Ean graduated with a Liberal Arts degree, so it wasn't until her 20s that she started becoming educated about money. She says: “After all, it's just another language, and with a little guidance, you'll be fluent” Can runs Moxie Bookkeeping and is a Profit First professional. If you're wondering what is profit first then listen in. Ean describes profit first as “a way of handling your business income in order to make sure you're actually earning a good living from your business or freelance work. And if you're not there yet, it is a really impactful way of working your way towards that good living in the most effective way.” You can find San and Moxie here: Website: www.Moxiebookkeepingandcoaching.com Facebook: PF for Creatives: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1040071306370464/ https://www.facebook.com/MoxieBooks/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moxiebookkeeping/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eanpricemurphy/ My guess is you are listening to these podcasts because .....

Myrtle and Maude creates natural wellbeing products for pregnancy. Julia d'Albert Pusey is the Co-Founder and a super smart business woman. This episode is packed with about as much as can be packed into 40+ minutes. I think Julia is probably one of THE most prepared guests I've ever had on the show. Julia says: "Don't be scared of failing – just don't put a lot of money behind it" and explains how this applied in her previous business. "Set a financial limit" She also says: "You cannot go to the market with perfect option. Test the market on the cheapest option and see if there is a bite" She describes the early days in "Myrtle and Maude" when it was "not pretty" because getting something out there was most important. She describes the impact of Google shopping and then Amazon on their business. Myrtle and Maud is certainly a business to watch over the next few years. Julia is certainly a business woman to watch.

Kelli Komondor says her motto might well be "Why not now?" Why wait another 5 years or 10 years - why not now? In this rich and rewarding conversation Kelli tells her story - and much more. 2020 - the year of necessary changes for small businesses, nonprofits and corporations. Kelli Komondor found the courage to follow her dreams to have a business of her own and to become a published author. Kelli's motto could be said to be "Why not now?" because it was these 3 words which changed her life last year. We all know that feeling "The time is not quite right" Is it ever exactly perfectly right? Kelli took that leap and now runs a successful and growing business providing content, PR & marketing and branding to small businesses and nonprofits. As if starting a business wasn't enough Kelli decided to create an anthology of 21 business women sharing their stories of resilience: Twenty Won You can find Kelli's book here: www.twentywonbook.com You can find Kelli Komondor here: https://www.k2creativellc.com/ My guess is you are here because .....

This is a completely different style of podcast episode. Today I'm in conversation with Ian Whitworth as we discuss his book "Undistruptable. Timeless business truths for thriving in a world of non-stop change" Ian describes himself as "Failed vet student, amusement ride operator, audiovisual technician" He started his own advertising agency so he could give himself the creative director job he yearned for. That business won some awards which helped him start audiovisual business Scene Change - partly to test marketing ideas that his corporate clients felt were too weird. It worked, becoming a successful national firm in the event industry. Ian believes: "So many talented people want to give it a shot, yet they're held back by the big business myths. But success is simpler than your crusty CEO wants you to think." Ian built his businesses on simple rules, Year 6 maths, basic decency and no jargon. The book is terrific and is certainly written in Ian's very Australian writing style. Regular listeners know I ask similar questions of my guests. IN this episode Ian's questions are specifically about his book and the recurring themes he covers: the importance of building and nurturing relationships - with everyone selling is a skill and vocation that is vital to success good customer service is the foundation of good business money and measuring results is where true success comes from decency and common sense prevail Ian's book is published by Penguin and can be found wherever you buy your books. In fact he suggests you go find your local independent bookshop for your copy.

Nicki Krawczyk created a storm when she named her business Filthy Rich Writer - in fact she was surprised at the response. Nicki Krawczyk is determined to destroy the myth that writers don't make any money. After earning her degree in Public Relations and reading a book her mother gave her about how to become a copywriter and earn 6-figures, Nicki propelled herself into freelance work. She has worked with high calibre clients like Hasbro, TripAdvisor, and Adidas. Today, she heads her own training program and podcast, where she instils the proper skills writers need to reach their ultimate potential as self employed copywriters. It's this business she named Filthy Rich Writer - whatever "Filthy Rich" means ... In this terrific conversation Nicki gives us some solid and well thought through business philosophy - about pricing, about hiring others to help "as business owners we think we can do it all ourselves and we'll wait till we have more money before hiring someone. Truth is we need that person in place in order to make more money and to take biz to the next level" Nicki has her own way of dealing with the tough times and there certainly are tough times in business - "it's scarier than you think it will be and it's better than you think it will be and everything can happen in the same day." Nicki is a fun and lively guest and shares her stories and wisdom with generosity and a genuine desire to help you build and grow your business - whatever business that is. Settle in - whether with a cuppa T, driving along or out with your dog for a walk ... wherever you listen to your podcasts.

There are a few things that are truly exceptional about Jack Tanasi and here are just a few that stand out from this conversation/ interview: * he started his e-Commerce store completely from scratch. He did not have a product, didn't have a store. He created something from nothing * during the early days of the enforced Melbourne lockdown – one of the longest lockdowns – Jack spent his time interviewing entrepreneurs who had started e-commerce brands “instead of playing Play Station like most people.” He asked questions and "was a total sponge soaking up all their information." * He tells of how he learned the most from the smallest of the 10 business owners he spoke with and it was a lot of the little things – that some of the bigger brands didn’t have issues with. This matters to a startup business. This is so insightful – we look at the large companies for ideas and inspiration – and in fact small business is where many of our best lessons are. * He talks about taking that 1 product and creating 7 different SKUs – so smart! * Finding a name that he could have both here in Australia and across the globe – and that has not all been smooth sailing – there were some big challenges and fortunately that has all been sorted out. He tells us about it in this episode. * He has a 3 days action plan and holds himself accountable to implement an idea within 3 days. * Jack is big on Time Management and has fixed ways he organises his day and that how he gets so much done in a day, in a week, in a month. * Feedback comes from customers and they pride themselves on a fast response. They fix problems quickly. * He says: "Be a sponge, learn as much as you can – constantly" I think you are going to really find this episode helpful and informative as you look to grow your business. Would you like to work with me directly to learn the financial framework I use for all of my clients? Accelerate your Business Financial Confidence starts next month and is a 6 week program + 2 follow up sessions that tackles the 3 greatest challenges most business owners face when it comes to understanding how money works in their business.

Welcome back to 2021. Having taken a bit of a break to enjoy sunshine and the wonderful surf in the morning and some "laying on the couch reading with cats" time in the afternoons - now I'm back. Thank you for tuning in. In this episode I talk about what's coming up for this 7th year of the podcast. It's going to look a little different - there will be more from me. Thank you so much for continuing to listen, for being here, for spending your precious time with me and my guests. I am honoured! Thank you The interview conversations are definitely continuing - and there are some terrific guests lined up. Interviews I have already recorded and they are ready to go! More from me = more mindset, more practical nitty gritty of finance and money and numbers - made simple! and more stories and case studies - of course honouring client confidentiality. If you want to hear more about what's coming up - tune into this welcome back episode. Would you like to work with me directly to learn the financial framework I use for all of my clients?

I've never really been a "goal setter" and have to admit the whole Hairy Goal discussion makes me squeamish! In this "just me" podcast episode I describe my personal approach to business today. Inspired by a few different things that I've been thinking about and working on in the past few months, I'm taking a very singular view and focussing on The One Thing that I can do right now to achieve my daily, weekly and monthly goal. Please notice that I use the singular goal - not the plural goals! Having too many goals, I have found, leads to nothing being done particularly well. Please also notice that in this episode I tend to use "can do" rather than "must do" or "need to do" (well, most of the time) do let me know if you hear a "need to" sneak in! Language is one of my other projects i.e. as regards the language I use - all aligned to my One Goal. As always, there is deliberately no advertising on this podcast. My guess is that you are here because you are a business owner and you want to increase your financial intelligence & business acumen. You want to have confident conversations when it comes to talking about money You want to make business decisions based on data and facts … so that ultimately you can build financial autonomy through business success. I’m here to help you. Everything I do in my business, every decision I make is based on this question: Will this contribute to help you, my listener take the steps to create a successful, viable and robust business so you can achieve Financial Independence?

Gabriella Rosa graduated as a Naturopath with a Bachelor of Health Science almost 20 years ago and has been running her business pretty much since graduating. Gabriela is the author of 4 books. She has a Master of Science in Medicine (Reproductive Health and Human Genetics) from The University of Sydney and has recently completed clinical research program at Harvard University’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health where she was awarded The Scholar Award for academic excellence. She is currently working towards a Masters in Public Health. It's not all academic, Gabriela has a world wide impact: In the past 10 years she has run free online events that have helped educate more than 140 000 people across more than 100 countries. One of here events was for more than 12 000 people in a 12 day free online event – this cost $80 000 to put this event together and run online. The reason that Gabriela is able to run her free events for so many people is because her business is financially successful. If you have been listening to previous conversations you know that one of my favourite questions is “when did you feel your business was real?” and Gabrialla’s answer is completely different to any other we have heard – she said “Last week” and laughs. She goes on to explain what she means “As your business progresses you face different challenges” "In that moment the business is real and then it becomes unreal again." Gabriela is really honest about how she made the huge change from the entire business being in a physical location as well as relying on her individual effort – hours for dollars - and building something that was one to many. The changes happened in 2013 – she closed her physical practice and "took everything online." She speaks really honestly about the thinking process about choosing a niche and tells a truly helpful example of how she has landed where she is today in her business - the pathway to finding the people she works with and solves their number 1 issue I am personally inspired by what she says about her focus on THE MOST challenging cases that led her to where she is today. Gabriella asks a really powerful question: what is the highest price that you can comfortable ask for? This underpins her premise that Pricing is a self image question. Gabriela is the author of 4 books: NEW! Fertility Breakthrough: Overcoming infertility and miscarriage when other treatments have failed Protecting Your Fertility: The Dangers of Conventional Pest Control and Natural, Safe Alternatives Revealed by Gabriela Rosa Eat Your Way To Parenthood: The Diet Secrets of Highly Fertile Couples Revealed by Gabriela Rosa The Awful Truth About Cleaning Products and Fertility Revealed by Gabriela Rosa You can find Gabriela at the following: website: naturalfertilitybreakthrough.com FACEBOOK Gabriela Rosa Natural Fertility Breakthrough https://www.facebook.com/FertilitySpecialistGabrielaRosa/ INSTAGRAM @fertilitybreakthrough @gabrielarosafertility My guess is that you are here because you are a business owner and you want to increase your financial intelligence & business acumen.

Julie Goodall takes the solo out of being a solopreneur and in this honest and practical discussion Julie shares the wisdom of building and growing her business over the past 6 years. Highlights in this interview: What she wished she'd done differently? Realised which clients were the "best fit" for her business. How did she get started? It was when a previous client described her as "like having an extra right arm" and she realised that all the things she loves to do – others don’t! and therein lay her business opportunity! She talks about the “life changing” value of hiring a coach. Julie learned how to set boundaries “and as an empath, I always wanted to say “Yes” to everyone.” Julie knew exactly how much her business needed to pay her to support their family of 4 – she loves being across the numbers. Music to my ears.

A few weeks ago a came across this book: The XX Brain by Dr Lisa Mosconi Click here for more information Over the past decade we have come to know so much more about the brain – through neuroscience and brain studies and extensive research.

Fear holds many people back from truly making their impact in the world, from being more true to who they want to be, who they are meant to be. Maybe this is you?

Leah Weinberg helps couples plan their wedding - she is a wedding planner. For 10 years Leah was a lawyer and she has left that behind her to build her own business. This is quite a story. She talks about money and pricing and the tough times when it feels so personal and what you can do to move on ... She says that rejection feels especially personal when you start out in a business that's provides a service. Rejection is part of being in business. She assures us that "your skin will toughen and it will hurt less …” and that's what I have found as well. She believes there is somebody for everybody AND there really is enough business to go around. And this is how she counteracts the “non-wins” and how she uses this belief to help not take things so personally … Leah is fun to chat with, this is a friendly interview and I believe you will enjoy listening in.
