We delve into the challenges she faced after the death of her husband and how she turned things around to create financial stability for herself and her family. It was a tough journey, but through determination and the right strategies, she overcame obstacles and built a thriving business. Here are 3 key takeaways from our conversation that I'd like to share with you: 1️⃣ Track your deductions meticulously: To become audit-proof and maximize tax deductions, keeping careful track of your expenses is crucial. Every number on your balance sheet should have supporting documents to support your claimed expenses. Remember, credit card expenses also require proof to be claimed as business expenses. Get organized and stay on top of your financial records! 2️⃣ Master your cash flow: Cash flow management is paramount for business success. By strategically tracking your inflows and outflows of money, you can make better decisions when timing payments, negotiating terms with vendors, and even reducing your taxable income. Timing is everything, so plan smart to keep more money in your bank account! 3️⃣ Empower yourself with financial knowledge: Don't let guilt or shame hold you back from seeking financial education and taking control of your finances. Understanding your numbers is empowering, whether you're running your own business, supporting your spouse's business, or exploring a part-time side hustle. Learn about cash flow, profit-making strategies, and tax optimization to build financial stability and thrive in your entrepreneurial journey.

 In this episode, I address some personal challenges but still dive into a crucial topic for all website owners and marketers – updating Google Analytics for better tracking. Here are three key takeaways for you from the Episode: Upgrade to Google Analytics: It's vital to update your Google Analytics to the latest version, as Universal Analytics has ceased tracking this year. Google Analytics tracks visitors across devices and networks and provides more accurate and comprehensive data. Preserve your existing data: Remember that your data from Universal Analytics does not automatically convert to Google Analytics. Make sure to save and back up your data for future access. I recommend utilizing the BigQuery backup option for data preservation and advise seeking professional assistance if needed. Marketing success and a cohesive plan:  Avoid relying on random sources online for your marketing plan. Instead, establish a cohesive marketing system with a proven strategy, consistent tracking, and targeted customer acquisition efforts. Would you like to hear more?

Mel Daniels is a Content Strategist, Coach, and Speaker who loves to understand ‘why'. Even past her toddler years, she always asked why. She wanted to understand why things worked as they did, why people acted a certain way, and why she was the only one who loved peanut butter and sultana sandwiches. Her curiosity has led her on an interesting life journey from academic achiever to corporate leader, mum extraordinaire, and now business owner. Mel's purpose is to teach and empower women who want more from their business, on how to use content in a genuine way. She gives them the confidence they need to become more visible, seen as the expert that they are, and inspired to take their business to the next level.

Luckily her love of dead-lifting counteracts the amount of baking she consumes. Here are a few key takeaways from the episode: Creating content from a human perspective leads to personal and business growth Knowing the demographics of ideal clients is not enough - connecting with them on a deeper level is necessary Content should be meaningful to both the creator and the ideal client, not just created for the sake of it Are you struggling to make your content stand out?
