We are going through the 6 essential building blocks for a thriving small business. This week is number 3, about how you can craft your business model in a way that is thoughtful about your strengths, your clients' true needs, and your revenue goals.  One the one hand, sometimes we assume that we need to tolerate a certain level of burnout, when we don't! And on the other hand, sometimes we seek self-employment nirvana to our own detriment, and jump from one business model to the next too quickly.  In this episode we discuss how you can think through crafting your model for yourself over both the short term and the long term. 

We've got a 330 trillion dollar industry here, which arguably a lot of it, we talk about stranded assets, CRREM pathways to stranded assets, et cetera. I talked to a lot of funds. I've talked to a lot of developers. They're getting very worried about this. And it's not just about their existing portfolios. It's about how they are going to exit portfolios. Because many buyers now actually build in the cost of retrofitting a building to bring it up to sustainability when they're looking at acquiring an asset. So, that might bring the price down. So, for us, we look at everything you've just mentioned. We look at materials. We look at hardware. We look at software and anything that gets us to some of these impact targets we want to achieve in the built environment and also is something which is commercially viable and fixes some particular pain point within this ecosystem. - Alexander Bent" Fresh out of the studio, Alexander Bent, founder & managing partner from Undivided Ventures, joined us in a conversation on why this is the time to invest in sustainability within the built environment.

How can we redefine success and find happiness on our own terms as working Mothers? In today's episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Tina Towers, an incredible entrepreneur, and Mother who has truly mastered the art of balancing work and family life. Tina shares her personal story of starting her first business at the age of 20 while studying teaching at university and going on to build tutoring centers and an educational toy store. Now a proud Mother, Tina discusses the unique challenges faced by moms in finding the delicate balance between parenting and work, and how being self-employed can offer the flexibility needed to thrive in both areas.  In this episode, we dive into ways that Tina brings the natural playfulness of motherhood into her business, creating a seamless blend between her personal and professional life. Tina encourages us to define happiness and success for ourselves rather than adhering to societal expectations, and that living your own version of success is what truly matters. We discuss: Practical tips for "balancing" parenthood and entrepreneurship Adjusting workload and offerings based on the season of life you are in The importance of defining happiness and success for *you* rather than adhering to societal expectations Involving your children in your business (and allowing them to learn valuable lessons about money and entrepreneurship) The importance of openness, honesty, and fluidity in the family dynamic  Connect with Tina: Website: https://www.tinatower.com/  Podcast: The Female Course Creator Show  Instagram: @tina_tower

In building block #2 I'm talking about how to build a business around BOTH your strengths and your clients' true needs. Oftentimes things are lopsided in that equation. A symptom that things have gotten out of balance is that everything starts to feel Sisyphean- you keep rolling that boulder up the hill and it keeps rolling right back down.  In micro businesses we wear all the hats! So we have a lot less running room for a business that isn't well structured. I troubleshoot how to spot an unbalanced business, and how to weave your strengths and your clients needs into an offering that is satisfying and sustainable for both of you.  This is the audiobook version of chapter 2 from my free ebook: You Need a Holistic Business: Learn the Six Essential Building Blocks.
