Welcome to episode 300! I couldn't let this milestone pass without addressing something really important: what it means to be a woman in business today, and why the spaces we create matter. There's been a lot of noise in Australia and around the world about whether we, as women, should be able to have our own spaces - whether that's business events, support groups, awards, or even shelters. With conversations heating up everywhere from Parliament to social media, I wanted to bring it here to our community, because helping women succeed is why I started this podcast in the first place. Today, I'm sharing why female-only spaces matter to me both personally and professionally. I also touch on how changes to the law have taken away our ability to define and protect these spaces, and what that means for women in business. This is a real-world look at what we're experiencing right now, why it matters, and how we can stand up for our rights without losing our sense of acceptance and inclusion. Here's what I cover in this episode: Why are we talking so much about women-only spaces? What's changed in our laws and why does it matter for us in business? What impact does removing the legal definition of “female” or “woman” actually have on our everyday lives, our safety, and our opportunities? How do gender gaps in leadership, pay, and funding still show up for women entrepreneurs, and what are we doing to close them? Why does having the option for female-only networks, support groups, and business programs matter for women's confidence, safety, and growth? This is a conversation about our rights, our experiences, and our future. If you've ever wondered why these issues spark such strong opinions, or how they could affect your own journey, you'll want to listen in. I'm so glad to have you with me for episode 300! ……………………………………… Are you a woman in business? YOU'RE INVITED!

nerdcafe. Der Podcast rund um WordPress, Hosting, CMS und Web.
Die nerdcafe Community: In dieser Episode gebe ich dir einen Blick hinter die Kulissen der neuen nerdcafe-Community – und erzähle dir, warum es am Ende Signal wurde. Ich spreche über die Geburt der nerdcafe-Community: Warum sie entstand, welche Tools ich geprüft habe – und warum ich mich für Signal entschied. Warum aber überhaupt die Community? Seit Jahren veranstaltete ich das nerdcafe Live auf LinkedIn – ein wöchentliches Audio-Format, das eine treue Fangemeinde aufgebaut hat. Doch der Podcast selbst bietet wenig Raum für direkten Austausch. Die Idee: Eine Community, in der Hörer*innen sich vernetzen, Feedback geben und Fragen stellen können – ganz ohne Algorithmen oder kommerzielle Plattformen. Wie funktioniert die Community? - Signal-Gruppe, in der jeder schreiben darf - Fokus auf Podcast-Themen: Neue Episoden werden geteilt, Diskussionen angeregt. - Offen für Fragen – aber kein Support-Channel

This is the story of how an old identity that I thought I had left behind, was still hiding in the background, holding me back, and slowly breaking apart my business! This week, I'm opening up about a very personal journey, one that took me right back to my old “corporate Jess” identity and showed me how she had quietly lingered behind the scenes, influencing my decisions and keeping my business from being fully aligned with who I am today. As women in our 40s and 50s we've experienced many identity shifts during our life: from child to teen, to adult, employee, and now entrepreneur. Add in wife, mother and other hats we might have worn and there's a lot of past and present 'selves' who each learned ways to be 'safe' and formed beliefs about what success really means. And, sometimes the ones we thought we'd left behind are still there, shaping our choices in ways we don't notice until something finally drops into your awareness and you see the pattern. In this episode, I'm sharing how uncovering one of my past identities gave me insights that changed everything about how I was seeing my business and finally helped me make decisions that were aligned to my current and future self - not tied to the past! If you've ever second-guessed whether old habits or mindsets from a past life might be playing a bigger part in your journey than you wish, I encourage you to listen in. Here's what you'll hear me explore: Why does transitioning from a long-standing career to entrepreneurship often feel unsettling, even when it's what we want? What are the subtle signals that some old beliefs or parts of your past self might still be influencing your choices as a business owner? How did I finally spot the hidden brakes that “corporate Jess” was putting on my business, and what did I do to shift out of those patterns? Why letting go of an outdated identity might be the most empowering move you make for your business and your personal life. How can you begin to step fully into the expert role that's truly yours, and find a way to build your business so it supports both your ambition and your lifestyle? Ready for some real talk and maybe a few lightbulb moments? Tune in to this week's episode and let's figure it out together. ………………………………………… Are you a woman in business? YOU'RE INVITED!

Ever considered that your business could be a valuable asset you can sell later on? Yes, even if YOU are the face of the brand! When you have a business you can run without it running you into the ground, it's got value that others want. Today, I'm chatting with Laurie Stirling, a business exit strategist with over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience! From starting a graphic design business from the ground up, to going through a tricky sale, she now helps others avoid the same traps, Laurie shares her experience that shows why most businesses never sell, why freedom should be designed in from the start, and what really makes your business valuable beyond revenue. Here's a taste of what we tackled in this episode: Why is building a business that runs without you so important? Explore what makes a business actually valuable and saleable, and why most founders unintentionally build themselves into a corner. What do you need to consider if you're the ‘rock star' or personal brand of your business? We look at what it takes to turn your expertise into assets, so your impact and income aren't tied just to your own time. How can you hand over responsibilities without becoming the bottleneck? Laurie shares practical strategies for delegating tasks (and decisions), and why letting go is just as much about mindset as systems. What are the biggest bottlenecks holding women founders back from real freedom? Listen out for the five common bottlenecks, and how to spot which one is capping your growth. Ready to get practical and start working on a business that truly gives you choices? Tune in to this episode, and don't forget to try Laurie's “what's your bottleneck?” quiz – and connect with us on socials to let us know your biggest takeaway! About our guest: Laurie Stirling is a Business Exit Strategist who helps entrepreneurs design companies that can run without them. Laurie combines two decades as a CFO, COO, and business owner herself, and she's passionate about teaching founders how to scale sustainably, delegate confidently, and prepare for eventual exit or succession, without burning out along the way.

Every six months, it feels like the coaching world lights up with debates about what really makes someone a credible coach. As someone who's worked in this field for a decade, I've seen all sorts of arguments, some measured and helpful, most just a noisy rant. Each time you see these kind of posts, it can make you stop and start questioning yourself. Should you call yourself a coach or choose something that seems less controversial? Maybe you wonder which credentials are really most important, qualifications or results... ? I find it really curious that the MOST important indicator that a coach is credible and delivers high quality isn't even mentioned in those ranting posts! So let's talk about it. There's ONE piece of proof you should always look for before you decide whether someone's coaching is worth your time (or money). Here's a taste of what you'll take away: How to spot the real signs of a coach who can genuinely help you move forward, instead of just talking a good game. Why copying someone else's “formula” rarely leads to success, and what to look for instead. The number one metric you should be looking for if you want to know a coach is truly credible - this one is non-negotiable. If you're ready to stop second-guessing your decisions and want to know the questions you really should be asking, this episode is for you.

Ever wondered why some businesses seem to pull in the perfect clients with almost no effort, while others stay stuck, spinning their wheels? In today's episode, I'm sharing the three must-know insights about your ideal client that could be the missing ingredient in your business. If you've ever felt like your message isn't quite landing, or you're attracting clients that drain your energy instead of lighting you up, stay with me—this chat could be a game-changer. I've been where you are—juggling work, motherhood, and the dream of growing a business that allows you time and freedom. Over the years, I've seen a pattern: the most successful female entrepreneurs aren't just experts in what they do—they're utterly clear on exactly who they're here to help. In this episode, I'm unpacking the three powerful questions most people overlook, but which make all the difference when you want to really connect with your audience. Here's a taste of what I'll be asking—and why you'll want to tune in: Why is it so important to know what your dream clients themselves think their real problem is? (Hint: It's usually not what you think.) What do your clients truly want—beyond vague goals like “more clients” or “success”? I'll show you how to get specific and why that matters. How can you spot the difference between what your clients know they need help with, and the things they don't even realise yet? This is where your messaging really starts to connect. What simple tool have I used, and how can you quickly build a human, relatable client profile that makes writing content a breeze? If you're tired of guessing what to say, or you've tried all the posting and still feel invisible, this episode is for you. Let's make marketing feel simple (and effective) again.

Have you noticed how money beliefs quietly shape the choices we make as business owners? Maybe you've caught yourself saying “I'm just not a numbers person,” or hesitating to invest in something you need because of that fear - “what if it doesn't work?” So many intelligent women are unknowingly playing small because of stories we've absorbed about money and business throughout our lives. This episode is here to change that. I'm thrilled to bring you a conversation with Danielle Hayden, CEO and co-founder of Kickstart Accounting Inc. Not only does Danielle Hayden have 15 years of experience working her way from salon floors to corporate boardrooms, but she's a passionate advocate for making finances practical, and even (gasp!) enjoyable. for female entrepreneurs like us. She's on a mission to show us how the right numbers can empower us to make confident decisions and grow our businesses on our own terms. Here's what you'll discover in this unmissable chat: Why do so many women believe they're “not numbers people,” and what happens when you stop using that as an excuse? How can understanding just a handful of key numbers put you in the driver's seat, instead of feeling lost or overwhelmed? What's the real cost of trying to do (or control) everything yourself, from bookkeeping to Canva - and how do you release the badge of ‘doing it all'? Why do we feel guilty about spending in our businesses, and how can reframing our beliefs free us to invest in the growth we want? How might holding onto the myth of being “too small” actually be the thing holding you back from the success you're dreaming of? If you're ready to swap confusion for clarity and take back control of your business money story, tune in now. This episode is packed with real talk, practical wisdom, and fresh perspectives. Exactly what we need to make business profitable and fun again!

Send us Fan MailWe're recording outdoors at Smith Rock State Park in a coproduction with StoryBooth, and the setting fits the story: Oregon Outdoor Alliance was built by people who wanted the outdoor industry to feel as connected as the places we all love to be. We talk with founders Gary Bracelin and Van Schoessler about what Bend looked like when industry talent felt scattered, the recession made growth feel uncertain, and “community” was more wish than reality.Van and Gary walk us through the early economic development push to recruit big outdoor companies, the tough questions they heard at Outdoor Retailer, and the moment they realized the smarter move was to back the businesses already in Oregon. From picnic-table planning to that first packed gathering at Pine Mountain Sports, you can hear how a network forms when people finally have a reason to show up for each other. We also reflect on the influence of Central Oregon legend Bob Woodward and how “think bigger” became the mindset that turned a local idea into a statewide outdoor industry association.Along the way, we unpack what OOA actually does for outdoor brands and professionals: talent connections, peer support, partner resources, and the kind of chance conversations that turn into hires, collaborations, and new product lines. Gary shares how the Bend Outdoor Work accelerator grew out of the same spark to give outdoor product startups deeper support, and proof that community can become real influence.If you work in outdoor recreation, outdoor products, or you're building a business in Oregon, hit play and take notes.

Juggling business and parenting isn't for the faint-hearted, is it? My kids have just gone back to school after the holidays, and that sudden rush of brain space got me thinking about how tough it can be to run a business while raising a family. We don't talk about the reality enough. The endless hours of kid-related admin for school, sports, clubs… we just tack it all on and have this “chin up, and carry on” mentality as if this is perfectly normal! I think because there's this notion that you've got to do it all to succeed; work late into the nights, keep up with all the online trends, and put on a show… It's ridiculous. But what if you don't want your business to take over your entire life? Or to feel guilty when “life” with your kids takes priority over your work? In this episode we'll examine business models that make sense for family life, and why there is zero shame in choosing a path that suits you, rather than aiming for an imaginary standard set by people with a totally different reality and far less constraints. Here's what I cover in this episode: Why do we feel pressure to run our businesses like people who don't have kids? What can we do about the guilt when our parenting or life needs attention? How can you set clear boundaries with your business, so it doesn't become another needy child? What does it look like to actually fit your business around your life? What's the secret to picking out only the offerings and activities that spark joy (and ditching the ones that drain you)? How do you build your business plan from your genuine values, starting with what matters most to you, not just what everyone else says you “should” do? Why choosing your own path, instead of following business advice not designed for parents, leads to not just a more successful business, but a happier life. If you're ready to break out of the “I should be doing more” mindset and design a business and a life you love, hit play—this episode is for you. ………………………………………… Are you a woman in business?

Do you feel your corporate experience is holding you back or powering you forward in your business journey? Many women who leave their career behind to become their own boss have gritty stories to tell that make you gasp, sigh or roll your eyes at the soul-destroying scenarios they had to endure as a female with leadership goals.

We unpack how women's natural leadership styles get lost (or dismissed) in traditional workplaces, and we explore how you can reclaim your own power and lead your business in your unique way. Here's what we get stuck into: Why do so many talented women leave successful corporate careers for entrepreneurship — and what makes them rethink leadership entirely? What are the hidden leadership strengths women often bring from their corporate lives, without even realising? How do traditional workplaces force women to mould themselves into someone they're not, and what toll does that take? What are the 8 leader archetypes? How do the "shadow" and "empowered" roles play out day-to-day, and how can spotting them help you grow your business? How can you harness your strengths and break free from the “not enough” trap to truly thrive on your own terms? You'll no doubt relate to the stories told in this episode and more importantly- the lesson learned from each one. Whether you're still in corporate, thinking about the leap, or years into running your own business, you'll walk away with a new perspective on your strengths, your challenges, and your potential. This is a must-listen if you want to lead your business boldly and in a way that feels authentically you.

Are you feeling a shift in the air - one that's pushing you towards bold decisions in your business or life? Maybe you've noticed people around the world making huge pivots already? Successful entrepreneurs dismantling their $m tried-and-tested programs and going unexpected directions. Marriages ending, businesses closing, things that have been around for years just ceasing to exist… and fresh starts everywhere. It's not a coincidence! This week on She's The Business, we're blending business and spirituality- talking about the strong energetic undercurrents shaping this very moment in time. I've invited the incredible Samantha Riley, a highly experienced business coach with a passion for the woo, to help us understand why so many of us are experiencing restlessness and urge to change. Here's a taste of what we unravel together: What energetic shifts are happening this year, and why do they matter to how we make decisions in business and life? Why are endings, closures, or pivots showing up so strongly now, and how can we navigate these changes with intention? How can tuning into cycles (think: numerology and the “Year of the Fire Horse”) set you up for smarter, grounded action, instead of simply reacting to the latest business trends? What are the real consequences of acting fast, without laying steady foundations? And how do we harness bold energy without letting it burn us out? Why is it so important to intentionally choose whose advice and information we follow, and how can we protect ourselves from being swept up in negativity or scattered focus? If you're curious about how to use this year's energy to build something real, identify your ideal next steps (not just what's trending), and lead yourself and your business with clarity, this episode is your reset. Pop in those earbuds and press play! The future is yours to shape!

Ep 582 - Building for Growth Guest: Susannah Pierce By Stuart McNish In early 2025, the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade held a conference titled, “Building for Growth: Driving Investment in BC's Future,” which had a stated goal of “promoting and championing private sector capital investment in our major projects across [British Columbia]'s economy” – projects that the Board of Trade states “account for over $230 billion in direct investment.” The day-long event focused on three essential steps needed to send a signal to the world that BC is open for business and welcomes investment. The report generated from the findings of the event did send a message to both the provincial and federal governments: “ 1. Create a Fast and Competitive Permitting Process; 2. Accelerate Indigenous Participation in Collaboration with Business Community; 3. Develop Robust Industrial Policy that Attracts Investment These projects.” With the introduction of Bill C-5 federally and Bills 14 and 15 provincially, both levels of government have taken steps to speed up the permitting process. Interestingly, the passage of those bills was done without consultation from First Nations – a move that was quickly downplayed as both levels of government reached out to First Nations leaders to work together. The question remains: will new policies that attract investment be introduced and will those measures repair BC and Canada's reputation as being an anti-resource development environment? We invited Susannah Pierce, the past CEO of Shell Canada, who led the LNG Canada Phase I project from concept to implementation, to join us for a Conversation That Matters about BC's ability to once again attract foreign direct investment to the province.

Blink and it's changed! Running a business online today is a whole different ballgame compared to a decade ago. There are more competitors, more noise, and so many “visibility” myths floating around. It can feel like the biggest challenge we should be focusing on is being seen in the crowd. But… here's the strange truth: more eyeballs on your business aren't always what you need right now! In fact - focusing on more eyeballs at the wrong phase of your business can cause you to remain in first gear forever. So, I jumped on the mic to record this episode for you, sharing why focusing on being seen could actually be holding you back, and what really needs your attention if you want to stand out and become the go-to expert in your field. If you've ever wondered why your content isn't converting or why you're attracting the wrong audience, you'll want to listen in. I break down the common pitfalls and shine a light on what matters most for growing your business in a way that feels right for you! Which means you can say NO to endless hustle and NO to sacrificing your precious family time! Here's what you'll hear more about: Why is visibility such a hot topic in the online world, and what does it really mean for your business? What's the big trap nearly everyone falls into (and how can you avoid wasting your energy on tactics that don't work)? How do you know when you're actually ready to amplify your presence, rather than just add to the noise? What steps should come before focusing on visibility if you want to attract your ideal clients and have them say “yes” without hesitation? Why creating your own unique space (something only you offer) matters far more than just “specializing” like everyone else. Ready for practical, honest advice that cuts through confusion? There's something here for you whether you're just starting out or feeling stuck in a crowded market. Listen in to discover how to become the obvious choice for your dream clients, and what makes visibility work when you're ready for it.

Could your inner creative make you more successful in business? If you've ever wondered how your imagination fits into your work, or if you're tired of being told to just “think harder,” this episode is for you. I'm talking with someone who's turned her own creative journey into a powerful tool for richer relationships, both in life and business. This week, I'm joined by the wonderfully vibrant Kristina Lucia Pezza, award-winning author, artist, and creator behind Curiously Curated Creations. Kristina's story hows it's possible to ditch the oppressive culture of most corporate workplaces and embrace your creative self, even (or especially!) if you've spent years hiding parts of it to meet other's expectations. She's here because her approach to communication is exactly what we all need more of: clear, full of real human emotion, and a little bit playful! Because business doesn't have to be so serious and boring - does it? You'll hear answers to these questions and more: Why does communication often fall flat… even when everyone's talking? And what might creativity offer that “business speak” can't? How did Kristina go from hiding her artistic side in the corporate world to making it her greatest strength as an entrepreneur? What are the three ways you can build instant engagement, whether you're talking with kids, clients, or a whole crowd? How can something as simple as colouring help you unlock new ideas and make decisions with less overthinking? What does it really look like to bring your authentic self (yes, the creative side!) to your business, even if you don't think you're “the artistic one”? If you're ready to explore the real art of communication, and pick up a few creative tips you can put into practice today - then this episode is for you! Press play to discover what your inner creative has been trying to tell you all along!

How do you really think and feel about marketing? If you're like most women I work with, your answer could be the key to unlocking your next level! After almost 30 years in marketing and a decade of coaching women in business, I've spotted a pattern: the way we see marketing has a direct impact on how successful we are in business. In this episode, I share the four mindset types people have, when it comes to their view on ‘marketing'. There's a good chance you'll see yourself in one of these groups - and once you do, things might start to make sense! Curious? Let's dive into this episode! Here's a snapshot of what you'll discover: Why does your attitude toward marketing matter so much? I'll walk you through how your beliefs shape your business, even more than your actions. What are the four mindsets about marketing and which one sounds like you? You'll probably recognize yourself (and maybe a few people you know!). How can you move away from fear, frustration or “icky” feelings about marketing, and step into genuine, aligned action? I bust the myth that all marketing has to feel manipulative or “salesy.” Why do those rushed and “trickster” methods never bring lasting results? We'll talk about the real costs of impatience and the difference between smart strategy and desperate short-cuts. What's the single most powerful way to build consistent demand from the right clients? I reveal the mindset shift that turns marketing into a tool for impact, not just income. If you've ever felt put off, overwhelmed, or tired of “must-do” marketing tips, this episode is for you. By the end, you'll feel refreshed!

How would it feel to have true connection with your clients - the kind that feels effortless, natural, and genuine? Good? Great? Let's talk about relationship marketing. If you feel exhausted by chasing leads, or you keep hearing about “attraction marketing” but aren't sure what it really means, this episode will make it all click. This week, I'm joined by Hunter Myers, founder and chief matchmaker at Verdure Design Co. Hunter helps service-based businesses create brands that feel real and attract the right people. With her unique background in English, sociology, and a love for visual storytelling, Hunter sees branding as building lasting relationships — not just selling to anyone who'll listen. What's inside this episode: Why does “attraction” in marketing mean so much more than just pretty words or chasing everyone? We talk through how showing up as your true self can bring the right clients your way. What branding mistakes should you swap out, and how do you avoid feeling awkward, fake, or forced in your marketing? How do you keep building trust in an online world flooded with AI and faceless templates? We get real about the role of AI — and how to use it without losing your human voice. What simple, heartfelt actions can you take to keep your clients coming back for more… and telling their friends about you? How could thinking about your client relationships like dating (yep, really!) help you stand out and build a business people truly love? If you want your clients to fall in love with your brand (and not just buy once), this is your listen. Tune in now and discover what real connection looks like in business today!

How do you turn your inconsistent side hustle into a business with steady, predictable demand? That's the biggest question everyone stuck in first gear is asking as they lay awake at night, mind searching for answers. If you're feeling overwhelmed by all the marketing tactics you're supposed to be doing and still struggling to see your revenue rise, then stop dreaming about ditching your day job for good, wake up and listen! I see so many smart, professional women stuck in what I call “Side Hustle Alley,” maxed out on time but nowhere near their income goals. Truth is, the answer's not working harder or adding more shiny marketing tricks that start off promising but tend to fizzle out. The best move is a subtle but powerful shift in how you position yourself - one that can change the trajectory of your business, for good! In episode 285 I'm revealing how you can create your own category so you stand out as the obvious choice, and what a true signature solution really looks like. Here's a taste of what you'll hear: What's the real reason side hustles feel so heavy and why your ‘menu' of services might be holding you back. Why most so-called “signature solutions” aren't signature at all. What does it actually mean to have one, and how do you know if you do? How you can step out of the competition and price wars, and finally be seen for what you do best. What's missing if your signature solution isn't the right fit for all your clients and how to fix it for good. Why getting crystal clear on your ideal client is the foundation of everything, and a free resource you can grab to help you get there. If you're tired of hustling, second-guessing, and piecing together your marketing efforts, then hit play on this episode and let's talk about how to create real, predictable growth in your business.

In the last 12-18 months most entrepreneurs jumped head first into AI, trusting that it was the magic pill to save them time and take the load off their shoulders… But did they put a little bit too much trust in their AI tools? I'm seeing a trend in 2026 that's honestly quite concerning - and it's the reason I recorded this episode. We have reached a point where it's time to stop and think: are we outsourcing too much thinking to what's essentially an advanced computer program? It's one thing to outsource manual tasks to AI and I'm all for it, but it's quite different to trust a computer model to create your unique business strategy. In this episode, I share what I've noticed happening behind the scenes for so many online businesses that are using AI to replace their own thinking! They're entrusting the bigger questions of strategy, originality, and authenticity - those irreplaceable assets that make us memorable - to an algorithm that's designed to research what already exists and tell you what you want to hear! If that's not alarming you yet, think about the implications when everyone is doing it! Here's a preview of the questions I tackle: Why are so many entrepreneurs trusting AI with their core business and marketing strategy, and is it actually giving them an edge - or making them blend in? What is AI truly capable of, and where does it fall short when it comes to knowing your business and personal strengths? How can you use AI tools smartly without handing over your authority, credibility, and vision? What should you hold onto as your personal competitive edge, instead of spinning your wheels hoping AI will do it for you? If you're ready for a refreshingly honest look at what AI can and can't do for your business, and want to reclaim your unique value in a world of copy-and-paste content, this episode is for you.

Do you get an uncomfortable flutter when you know you need to have a tricky chat with someone on your team? Managing people - whether employees, contractors, or VAs - often means facing difficult conversations. It's easy to worry you'll get it wrong, or that conflict will brew. But what if you could handle these chats with confidence, clarity, and kindness… and actually strengthen your business in the process? This week, I'm joined by Amy Christopherson, the brains behind Grounded HR, with over 15 years' experience in people management and HR. Amy's passion is supporting small business owners to build thriving, connected teams, even if you're starting with just one hire. She's walked this path herself, growing her HR consultancy from a local business to serving clients nationwide. Amy brings practical advice, plenty of real-world stories, and a whole lot of common sense. In this episode we're tackling some of the questions that can keep business owners up at night: Why does one underperforming team member have such a big impact on small businesses? What makes hiring so scary… and how can you reframe those worries to take action? How do you spot the difference between a great team member who needs time to get up to speed, and someone who just isn't the right fit? What can you do to stop small problems from turning into big ones, especially when it comes to communication? How do you approach those difficult conversations, so everyone walks away feeling respected - and your business actually gets stronger? If you've ever hesitated to delegate, or struggled with giving feedback, you're going to get loads of actionable ideas and reassurance here. Amy's advice proves that managing people doesn't have to be something we dread. Tune in to learn how to lead your team with more ease and fewer headaches! About our guest: Amy is your people-focused, future-driven HR expert with a difference. Unlike traditional HR professionals, Amy zeroes in on the individual - understanding how each person's unique strengths and dynamics contribute to creating a cohesive, thriving team. With a Bachelor of Business (HR and IR) and registration with the Australian Human Resources Institute, Amy brings a wealth of experience across diverse industries to help Australian businesses turn HR from a complex, burdensome task into a strategic, proactive advantage. Her approach combines best-practice knowledge with an empathetic, nurturing style that builds confidence and trust among both business owners and their employees. Amy's superpower lies in her ability to see the best in every human. Her passion for sharing her knowledge with employees and business owners alike shows her passion for creating positive workplaces where employees feel valued, and business leaders are empowered with peace of mind knowing they are supported through any HR challenge.

Let's talk about the one skill you absolutely MUST develop as a business owner - especially now, in this economic environment. It's not a trendy hack or secret formula - it's something powerful, practical, and completely learnable. I've noticed that many women building a business try to sidestep this skill because it pushes them out of their comfort zone. They feel uncertain, maybe even a little scared. But if you don't do it, you'll never get your business out of first gear. And unfortunately that's the reality for so many - why their business remains a side hustle even after years of effort. And … why the small biz failure rate is so high! Ok, let's get down to businesses In this episode we'll bust the myths around what it means to “do marketing” and why you don't need to be an extroverted, pushy promoter to set your business up for real success. Here's what you'll hear more about: Why directing your own marketing strategy is non-negotiable - and what happens if you try to hand it off to someone else. What truly matters in your marketing, from positioning and offers, to focusing on the right people (not just anyone with a pulse). How to build a simple, clear pathway that takes potential clients from “never heard of you” all the way to “raving fan” Why copying someone else's strategy will never work for your unique business, and what to do instead. How you can create a system for your business that feels easy, not exhausting - even if “marketing” usually gives you the chills. If you've ever wished marketing could feel natural and aligned (and actually get you the clients you want), this episode is for you.

Do you feel permanently busy, but the business isn't really moving forward? It's like being stuck in first gear, burning through the gas fast but the car going slowly. Whether you're a coach, consultant, or expert, it's so easy to get caught up in the next social media trick or the latest marketing hack, trying to attract clients who never quite seem to connect. But what if I told you there's one simple yet fundamental strategy every business needs - and that makes all the difference, no matter how much the business world changes? In this episode, I share the essential building block every service-based business needs before anything else. It's something I've taught for nearly a decade, and it's at the heart of every truly successful business I've seen. Spoiler: it's not about doing more, shouting louder, or offering endless bonuses. It's about clarity, focus, and knowing exactly who you're for - and who you're not. Here's what you'll learn by the end of the episode: Why so many marketing tactics can leave you spinning your wheels, and what to do before any of them will actually start working. What the “expert zone” really means for coaches and consultants, and why being able to clearly say who you help (and how) is the single most powerful advantage you can claim. The mistake most coaches are making that waters down your message and attracts no one, and the fastest way to fix it! What makes your business truly irresistible, and how you can instantly create stronger results without working more hours or piling on more offers. Curious to know if you're missing this core strategy? Tune in - I promise you'll come away with a new sense of clarity and relief. Ready to become the obvious choice for your ideal clients?

Welcome to the first episode of 2026! There's a big shift happening in the online business space and, if you plan on staying relevant, you'll want to get on board with it. I've spent over 25 years in marketing and 15 years as a business owner myself, so I've seen plenty of trends come and go. But what's brewing for this year feels different - it's a cultural groundswell that's going to change the game completely, perhaps forever! And if you're blind to it, you'll get left behind. Think back to 2025 - the year AI exploded into daily use for a majority of people. We've now got more information at our fingertips than ever before, we're more connected than ever before, you can do in minutes things that used to take days, weeks, or months. Yet - have you noticed how much more lonely and disconnected working online can feel now? With the rise of AI, so much of what we're seeing and interacting with doesn't feel genuine. It lacks the energy we feel when we're interacting with, listening to or watching a real human. Our “fake radars” are permanently on, and as we know that AI is getting harder to detect, it's common to assume everything is created by AI! (Like you're possibly sitting there thinking these show notes were written by AI…. but they're not!) All this means we're craving authentic human connection more than ever and it's going to increase exponentially! In this episode, I share more about the shifts happening in our online space, why community and real connections is becoming the vital ingredient your business needs to thrive. Here's a taste of what you'll hear in this episode: Why is genuine connection more important than ever, especially as AI-generated content floods our feeds? What does “community” look like in the year ahead? How can you keep your business evolving without falling into the trap of sticking with what's comfortable - or getting left behind? What practical changes can you make to strip out what's no longer working, double down on what is, and start something that brings more connection into your world? Why do curated groups, masterminds, and meaningful conversations matter far more than collecting a list of contacts? And I announce a brand new (free!) community for She's The Business Podcast listeners to help you find your people, keep the conversation going, and get your questions answered! Ready to rethink what connection means for your business in 2026? Tune in to hear how you can take action and feel inspired for what's coming this year! ……… JOIN She's The Business Community on Facebook and let's continue the conversation! >> https://www.facebook.com/groups/shesthebusinesscommunity Don't miss the chance to be part of something truly supportive and real - because I think you'll love where we're heading. .................................................
