This week, I talk with Tina Tower, founder of Her Empire Builder, a membership community helping women start and scale online course businesses.

At the end of 2024, we won the “Launch Boss” Award at the Her Empire Builder end of year conference, for our business growth in 2024. The award is demonstrated how we excelled at taking all of Tina Tower's (our biz coach) biz strategies when it comes to opening doors to our Ending Body Burnout Method 3 x a year. I (Filly) was so shocked that we won, that I didn't even prepare a speech or couldn't recall any great “tips” to share with the other 100 biz women in the room (I was put on the spot - like a deer in headlights, lol!) . In today's episode, I share exactly what I *would've* liked to have shared if I could have my time on the stage again, my learning around not being prepared, and also how I manage my time and energy during the “busy” period of launch week. P.s. If you're interested in learning more about Her Empire Builder, head here. I've been in this amazingly supportive business group for the last 18-months, and I LOVE it! Not only has it supported us in running and growing a profitable business, but the community is also so beautiful and supportive, raising each other up. In today's episode, Chris & Filly talk about about: Winning the “Launch Boss” Award & my “terrible” speech Why I was sad for days afterwards What I learned about myself and my lack of preparedness - and what I wish I'd shared in the speech The secret to our business success (I know who I am!)

I have built my business on Personal Brand, and, am a HUGE fan of building business on personal brand - to a point. Recently I have realised the Her Empire Builder is SO much bigger than me and in order to take the company to the next level of impact that we want to create, it needs to slowly change from the Tina show, to Her Empire Builder.  We want to elevate members, provide exceptional quality education and support, connection and collaboration and that takes a strong team that are all empowered to step into those roles. For me, my role on the back end doesn't change, except to being able to prodice such a higher level of support, but on the front end you'll be seeing me showing up differently.  To keep all of the beautiful educational content and inspiration as you build your business, jump on over and follow Her Empire Builder account https://www.instagram.com/herempirebuilder/ See you there!

After 5 years of franchising Tina opened 35 Begin Bright centres with 120 staff. After Begin Bright was acquired by an International education company in 2016, she started business coaching other people to scale their serviced based business.  To put location freedom to the test, Tina set off to travel the world for a year with her husband and two children, visited 28 countries - all while growing the online business in a couple of hours a day.  Since returning from travel, her empire continued to grow and it's been a revelation to her that this ‘little' online business that she runs from home with a couple of staff makes far more money and has such a greater and wider impact, than she ever did in running a franchise company. Tina has helped hundreds of people package their expertise into an online course and launch it to the world through her program, Her Empire Builder, is on a mission to help 100 women build a $1 million a year business by 2025. Tina is the author of two best selling books, One Life - How To Have The Life of Your Dreams and Million Dollar Micro Business.  Bless it be.  With love, Laetitia!

If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be?“Removing toxic people from your life and how important it is to live for YOU, not for others and what they ‘think' you should do.”___________Today's episode is a re-run of a very popular conversation I had with my glorious friend and fellow crazy entrepreneur - the formidable Tina Tower. This conversation was originally recorded in my first season of the podcast - it was my very second interview in fact - but it's rated its socks off since going live & I think it's such an important conversation that it was worth re-running it as a reminder to us all! Surround yourself with amazing people that light you up, cheer you on, make you feel good & are there to love & support you. And those that do the opposite - if you can't remove them totally from your life - then minimise contact with them where possible. As Tina & I chat about in this conversation - the toxicity you are allowing to consume you when certain people are not great for you can have far more impact on your life, health, career and well-being than you realise. Let me tell you a bit about Tina firstly though;-  Tina Tower has captured attention with her raw and real approach to building business and her willingness to share failures as well as her successes. Tina is an example of what happens when you define what you want in life and go after it with all you've got. Tina is an award-winning, serial entrepreneur who has founded, grown and sold several businesses and franchises. She's written two books and has helped hundreds of people package their expertise into an online course and launch it to the world. Through her program, Her Empire Builder, she is on a mission to help 100 women build a $1 million a year business by 2025.Tina has won multiple business awards including the Australian Telstra Young Business Woman of the year as well as being featured on Sky Business, The Huffington Post and The Financial Review. If you're in the market to create an online course and don't know where to start - Tina is your gal! I've seen her in action now for many years and she's an absolute gun! his is such a delightful conversation - hope you enjoy my chat with the effervescent, Tina Tower.

As women, moms and humans in general, the last few years have really put a microscope on our lives and forced many of us to face the fact that we feel overwhelmed, stuck and unhappy.   Anytime we find ourselves in this space, it's a sign that we're not being honest with ourselves, and that our inner wisdom is desperately trying to tell us something.   How do we tap into this inner wisdom, figure out why we feel stuck and then work toward a feeling of alignment?   In this episode, certified life coach and Nurture to Convert Business coach, Stephanie Nichols returns to talk about why so many women feel stagnant but stressed out, and how to change it.   Every time I've found myself in a place of complete overwhelm and stress, something wasn't aligned and the way I truly wanted it to be. It was always because I wasn't being honest with myself. -Stephanie Nichols   3 Things You'll Learn in This Episode   -The power of taking action, even when we're a little scaredHow does the way we make decisions play into why we feel overwhelmed?    -Slow down, step back and listen to youWe've been conditioned to believe that the best decisions for us lie outside of us. How do we start seeking what's right for us?    -How to curate a life that serves your happinessIf we're honest with ourselves and what we really want, will it ruin our relationships?     Guest Bio   Stephanie Nichols is a certified life coach with The Life Coach School, and certified Nurture to Convert Business coach with Dana Malstaff.

Eve is such a champion of a woman! Today's podcast guest is Her Empire Builder member and founder of Her Health Collective, Eve Drew. She started in the online course world only last year, and has done, as we like to say "All the things" Since launching, Eve has created her membership program for female health professionals and hit over 6 figures helping her clients get great results, she's launched 3 luxury retreats, is launching two podcasts and grown her confidence from not knowing what this online world was all about, to totally owning it! In today's episode Eve is sharing why she's chosen high end with fewer clients as her strategy and what the journey has been like for the past year. Get all of the links and info at tinatower.com/186 and find Eve on insta at @herhealth_collective Join Her Empire Builder at herempirebuilder.com Starting her first business at age 23, Eve has spent the past 20 years starting, growing and selling businesses. She sold her 7-figure Podiatry clinic at the end of 2020, and now, through her work at Her Health Collective, helps other women launch and scale their health businesses. Eve has experienced overwhelm and burnout during her career and understands how important it is for health professionals to look after themselves while caring for everyone else. We need to pour from overflowing cups. She shows other women how to build the clinic of their dreams without losing themselves in the process. Health is an industry which is largely female dominated, but, that is not reflected in the relatively low numbers of female business owners and women who hold leadership positions. Eve is on a mission to change that. As a mum, Eve has had to ‘do the juggle' and wants to show other women that we can do both (often it isn't pretty, but it can be done!) Eve has helped many women start and scale their health businesses and bring their dreams to life. She loves giving the gift of space to other women, and offers Be Well Retreats each year with Dr Jodie Fleming. The definition of success to Eve is freedom. Freedom to live life on our terms and create a life that we love. Eve lives in the beautiful seaside town of Warrnambool at the end of the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, and loves to spend time walking in nature, reading and practicing Yoga Nidra. She loves travelling the world, but her happy place is at home with son Arlo and husband Tim.

I owe so much of my success to the incredible people I surround myself with. The coaches, the friends and peers that I have met along the way have all created my expansive thinking and believed in me long before I did. Community is so important and in today's episode I am sharing how you can get the most out of community groups you're a part of, and why you should be creating your own in your business too. Of course, the BEST community for online entrepreneurs wanting massive results and have a bucket ton of fun along the way, is Her Empire Builder and doors open NEXT WEEK!

My guest today is the fabulous Liz Nable! Liz joined Her Empire Builder two years ago and the reason why I wanted to share her story with you is of course, because she's fabulous - but also, because having so much background and expertise in different areas, it was difficult for Liz to choose her online course path and she tried a few iterations before she got her winner. Liz shows you that you can reinvent yourself and that the winner idea is the one that uses both your knowledge and expertise, and also aligns to what you love talking about.   Join Her Empire Builder: https://www.tinatower.com/herempirebuilder  Links: Show notes: https://www.tinatower.com/184  Find Liz @liz_nable on instagram

Dr Laura Williams has such a great story to share with you. Laura is also our first Her Empire Builder member from the UK which shows huge dedication because our live sessions are ran in the morning so she stays up late to watch them. I share this because it's the dedication and purpose that drives Laura. With the sudden passing of her husband in 2018, she's a single mum to 5 children and instead of feeling like an (understandable) victim to that, she's chosen to be victorious. Laura is one of those fabulous humans who is so good at her job and cares so much about her impact, and I just can't wait for the world to get access to that and her new course 'Know your own Psychology'.   Find all of the notes and links for todays episode at tinatower.com/182 and find Laura on insta at @drlawilliams   Dr Laura Williams is a clinical psychologist, trauma specialist, best-selling author, media contributor and mum to five. She holds specialist interests in anxiety, eating disorders and obsessional compulsive disorder. Beginning her first degree in psychology at the age of 19, Laura would continue to learn and train in the field of psychology for the next 20 years. She has a BA in Psychology, a Masters in Forensic Psychology and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. After clinical training, Laura worked within specialist services in prisons and hospitals with people who had experienced high levels of trauma in their lives. After the sudden loss of her husband in 2018, Laura started working for herself for the freedom and flexibility she needed for her young family. She has since built a thriving online psychology practice and works with people to help them understand how their early and past relationships have impacted them. Laura now offers an online course KNOW YOUR OWN PSYCHOLOGY to scale her work and help more people. Laura has written for and been featured in publications including The Telegraph, The Sunday Post and The Skinny. She has contributed to television documentaries for ITV and Channel 4 in the UK on the topic of morbid obesity. In addition to her television experience, Laura has broadcast experience often contributing to Radio Scotland programmes. Her first book, Grief Writer: A Journal, published in 2021, hit the amazon bestseller list and aims to help people grieving to process their emotions after loss. Laura lives near Edinburgh, Scotland with her partner, their five children and a Labrador named Beau. From there, she is helping change the conversation around trauma and mental health. When she is not working, you'll find her out running, swimming outdoors or trying to 'pop-up' on a surf board.  

I love Kelly's story. Starting a career in teaching, obviously has its perks in course creation where we're educators, but I love the story of reinvention. So many members that we have in Her Empire Builder started with so much skill and expertise and thinking "I wonder if course creation is for me?" "How big can I actually go?" And it makes me so happy to see people grow and adapt and then inspire everyone around them. That's Kelly's story as she's taken her niche as a teacher and turned that into a 6 figure online business and in today's episode, we're sharing with you how she got started and everything she's learnt along the way.   Find Kelly on instagram at @kellybell.coach Listen and get the show notes at tinatower.com/180   Kelly is a passionate educator with 18 years experience as a PDHPE & Community & Family Studies (CAFS) teacher.

Today I am interviewing one of our fabulous Her Empire Builder Members - Claudia Neal - Shaw. Claudia joined Her Empire Builder in February as a brand new course creator ad then did all of the pre-launch activities to start from scratch and launched her first digital course for online marketing in June.   She had a great first launch making $12,000 on her first launch with her second already half sold out and incredible client transformations from her first lucky group of clients.   Show notes: tinatower.com/179 Join Her Empire Builder at herempirebuilder.com   Starting her first business at 21, Claudia Neal-Shaw was a few years into her combined Law and Communications degree convinced she would be an actress or a lawyer.

Today's episode is a bit of a sneak peek behind the curtains of my own work life… today I am going to be introducing you to three amazing and very different women who I've got in my corner.  Over the past 12 years, I have worked with coaches in various capacities to support my continued learning, professional and personal development.  These coaches have ranged in style from pure business coaches to NLP and life coaches, through to mindset coaches and the more holistic and what I would describe as spiritual coaches.   Each has supported me at a different phase and season of my life to navigate a challenge, uplevel my skills or help me focus on bringing my A Game in the area of my work or life that I've needed at that time.  Let's face it, the past two years have been a total shit show and if I'm honest, so has been my mindset and the state of my business at times, which is why in the past 2 years I have been working with not 1, but 3 coaches to support me in the various aspects of my life and work.  And today, I'm going to introduce you to these amazing women who have got my back! Tina Tower, Michelle Broadbent & Amber Hawken.  In today's conversation, we are covering everything from  Why you would want a coach How coaches have supported them to get to where they are today What to look for when hiring a coach The various models of coaching and how to decide what's right for you Plus, they answer the question “Do coaches have coaches?” I'm hoping that after this episode that if you are feeling like it's time to level up in your business or career, that you're feeling a little stagnant and are looking for your next challenge or that you just need someone to keep you accountable, that this will be the little kick in the backside that you needed, to go seek out your own coach and prepare to take great leaps forward!  BIOs Tina Tower started her first business at age 20, a small tutoring centre and educational toy store that over 5 years she transformed into a franchise of 35 Begin Bright centres employing 120 staff.   After the franchise was acquired in 2016, she started coaching other service-based business owners only to find herself constantly repeating herself, which led her to the world of online coaching.   Today Tina has run several online programs, however, her game-changer has been Her Empire Builder, which I am fortunate to be part of!  Her Empire Builder is a membership program supporting female entrepreneurs to establish and grow their online businesses.  She is on a mission to help 100 women build a $1million a year business by 2025. Tina has been instrumental in helping me navigate the online business world, which I can tell you is a massive shift from the world of bricks and mortar businesses!  Michelle Broadbent is a business strategist with a 20-year career as a trusted advisor to female entrepreneurs across a vast array of industries.  I have observed Michelle from afar for a few years before finding myself with direct access to her through Tina's HEB program, where I promptly jumped on her services with a desperate plea for help as I navigated my way out of the downturn resulting from COVID.   Michelle has been a realistic voice of reason, offering practical solutions and operational support to cut through the overwhelm and help me stay focused on what really matters! Amber Hawken, you may be familiar with as one of my very first guests on the podcast back in Episode 4, Transforming Leadership with a Calm Mind, which was actually how I met Amber!  It was after this episode that I said, “I need to work with you!” and here we are today! I affectionately refer to Amber as my “woo woo” coach as her teachings, perspectives and lessons go far deeper into the fibres of our being. As Amber describes, she has been working with humans for more than a decade and reverences our natural ability to emotionally and mentally self-heal and spiritually actualise.   Starting out her career as a radiation therapist, she transitioned away from the industry in 2012 and has since explored ancient cultures, different dimensions and bridged east and west. With a pragmatic mind and a country girl spirit, she has a unique blend of practical and down to earth approaches to the arena of therapy, embodied healing, integration, energy, and consciousness.   LINKS  Tina Tower https://www.tinatower.com  Instagram @tina_tower Michelle Broadbent  https://www.michellebroadbent.com.au  Instagram @michbroadbent Amber Hawken https://amberhawken.com  Instagram @amber_hawken Mel Marsden  Insta

It's my absolute pleasure to be connecting with the fabulous Tina Tower today as we talk about embracing technology to build a powerful business.   At the helm of Her Empire Builder, Tina is a business strategist for digital entrepreneurs, best selling author and podcast host. Her powerful mission is to have 100 women making $1 million a year in her Mastermind, Her Empire Builder, by 2025.   Starting her first business at the age of 20, Tina has since built and sold 4 businesses. Although she reached a high level of success, the hustling and hard work that got her there led to burn out and adrenal fatigue.    On a gap year travelling the world with her family, Tina discovered the simplicity and reach of online business and completely fell in love. She packaged her knowledge and expertise into an online course and grew to a 7 figure business in just under 2 years.   Tina's first book, One Life - How To Have The Life of Your Dreams was released in 2018. Her second book, Million Dollar Micro Business was released in 2021 and became a global success, hitting the best seller list in its first week of release and holding the spot.    Tina has won awards such as Telstra National Young Business Woman of the Year and Australian Business Champion. She has been featured on the Today Show, in the Financial Review, on Sky Business and listed as a ‘Business Woman to Watch' by Huffington Post.   In this episode, Tina shares how she tapped into her superpower in business to empower others. For Tina, her superpowers have been systems, marketing and self belief and she shares three powerful steps to market an online course.   We dive into the power of marketing and how systems enable us to activate ideas and translate them into multi million dollar businesses. We also talk about technology and why Tina believes business owners must learn the tech themselves before outsourcing. We discuss our favourite platforms and programs, including Kajabi, Google Analytics and Hotjar.   As a business owner, you not only need to value your superpower but also deep dive into what people want. Tina and I talk about the power of leaning into your community, letting go and setting healthy boundaries.   You're absolutely going to love Tina Tower and the vibrant energy she brings today.   Where to Find Tina: Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/tina_tower/ Website:https://www.tinatower.com/ Podcast:Her Empire Builder   Where to Find Tory: Website: https://powerful-steps.com/  Instagram: @powerfulsteps LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tory-archbold-b8542715/ Powerful Steps Coffee Challenge: https://powerful-steps.com/coffee-challenge/.  Youtube Channel:  Powerful Steps - YouTube See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How The Dots Joined Up For Christina She's been a guest on many podcasts, including Her Empire Builder, Hustle Like a Mother, Health Coach Nation and Launch It Girl, and helped her clients get booked on many other top-rated shows. As she says "Even though I specialized in PR and publicity (my particular niche was tourism), I was really only promoting my course - or at least trying to - through paid ads and live webinars, because that's what all the "gurus" and "experts" said to do... And while those worked for me to a certain extent (kinda), I knew I wasn't bringing in enough people, and they certainly weren't coming in with any knowledge of what I was about and had to offer. To be honest, it was a bit of a bottomless money pit of my own creation. So I started to do for myself what I had been doing for my clients - I got publicity on podcasts. Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only smartphone marketing expert Christina Lenkowski

I'm so lucky that my days are spent with super successful women and so I get to hear their thoughts, their dreams and of course, their fears. I was asked recently "What do you think sets the successful women apart" and I went away and thought about that for quite a while. I came up with 6 main mindset blocks that the millionaire women I know have mastered. Sure, it fades sometimes and there's more personal development work to be done to get back to where we want to be, but there are similarities that I see the women who have done really well, have together and I'm sharing those with you on the Her Empire Builder podcast today!

With most organisations preaching gender equality in the workplace, women continue to be under-represented. The reality is that, for aspiring women leaders, being hard-working, smart, and savvy isn't enough. Sadly, the situation worsens when it comes to entrepreneurship.    When a woman plans to open up a business, naysayers often predict that the business is doomed to fail. That type of thinking is untrue and only promotes negative stereotypes. However, for women, starting a business still comes with its fair share of difficulties. For example, female entrepreneurs often lack access to capital and exhibit different mindset constraints such as risk-aversion, which impede business growth. Thus, for female entrepreneurs to succeed, it all comes down to personal traits, entrepreneurial skills, and how supportive fellow female entrepreneurs are towards achieving their goals.    Men have been dominating the world of business ever since the industrial revolution. But the digital age gave birth to influential women like Tina Tower, giving rise to a whole new era of women in business. Tina is a serial entrepreneur, author, world traveler, and high-performance business consultant. In 2014, she was the winner of the Australian Telstra Young Business Woman of the Year award and later named by Huffington Post as one of the Top 10 Aussie Women to watch in business. In this super exciting discussion, we talk about women in entrepreneurship, the pandemic's effects on the online business space, and how to hire new employees.    Topics we Discussed Include:  Getting to know Tina Tower (03:52) Things Tina had to unlearn after selling her business (07:27) Women empowerment in the business world (09:20) 100 women making $1 million a year by 2025 (13:02) When and how to hire the right people (14:57) Building your empire as a female entrepreneur (16:30) Unique and profitable niches in Her Empire Builder (22:20) The pandemic's effect on the online courses space (23:25) Dissecting the million-dollar micro-business (25:35) Tina's book tour party (28:10) Top 5 tips for aspiring businesswomen and future leaders (29:40)  Connect with Tina Tower Tina's book tour https://www.linkedin.com/in/tina-tower-b28a5136/ (Tina's LinkedIn) https://www.tinatower.com/ (Her Empire Builder Website) https://www.amazon.com/One-Life-Have-Your-Dreams-ebook/dp/B07ZPKTM85/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Tina+Tower&qid=1624940877&s=digital-text&sr=1-1 (How to Have the Life of your Dreams) by Tina Tower https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0981HFP5J/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=Tina+Tower&qid=1624940877&s=digital-text&sr=1-2 (Million Dollar Micro Business )by Tina Tower https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/her-empire-builder-with-tina-tower/id1451216203 (Her Empire Builder Podcast) Connect With Ally Nitschke http://www.madeformore.com.au/ (Madeformore.com.au) Connect with me onhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/coach-leadership/ ( LinkedIn) Connect with me onhttps://www.instagram.com/ally.madeformore ( Instagram) andhttps://www.facebook.com/ally.madeformore ( Facebook) Subscribe to myhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWzPxo5P5XTBcKvQyUQEpyQ ( YouTube) channel Get ourhttps://www.madeformore.com.au/ ( Courageous Conversations Guide) For full show notes, go here: www.madeformore.com.au/35

Welcome back to Season 3 of the Her Empire Builder podcast! I'm so happy to be bringing you another year of awesomeness. In this episode I am running you through the insights from our Team Tower planning day and how we're ensuring to build in periods of rest so that we can slow down to speed up. 

Today I have one of my Mastermind members in Her Empire Builder sharing with you how she started and scaled her online program SCOOD, to over 6 figures in it's first year and taking you behind the scenes of her course growth.   Stacey Hughes has had a lot of business experience before jumping into the online course world and is the director of CQ Nutrition, a leading chain of dietitian clinics across Queensland.   Together with husband Chris, Stacey has grown the business from a single clinic to a chain of five (and growing).   The flagship program of CQ Nutrition is the SCOOD Health Challenge and Online Course, which gives participants the chance to win huge cash prizes as a motivator to complete the online weight loss course.   Most importantly, every participant is supported and coached to lose weight the healthy way—and keep it off. The average weight loss of the program is 4.4 kilos and more than 3,000 kilos have been lost since launching in 2019.   When not launching challenges and managing a team of fifteen staff, Stacey is a busy mum of four. Fun fact: she owns every Jamie Oliver cookbook, is a coffee addict and even trained as a barista to perfect the art of making coffee!     Stacey is the most wonderful, down to earth human and seems to have no idea how awesome she actually is, but I know after hearing her today, you'll totally agree and find out why she deserves every inch of success she has.

Today on Her Empire Builder I have the gorgeous Emily Osmond. I had been seeing Emily around and was getting more and more interested in what she does. She's an absolute ray of sunshine and an Instagram marketing expert and that sunshine totally shines out of her. Last year I got to be on her podcast and then I got to meet her in real life, which is always exciting for us who work online, and I had to have her on Her Empire Builder because what she's building is impressive. In our chat, we cover so many different things but I love how Emily isn't afraid to talk about the childhood trauma she suffered that left her with some mental health obstacles she had to learn how to deal with into her adulthood. We cover all things Instagram marketing and behind the scenes of her new online program launch. Emily Osmond is a marketing educator who through her online program, The Modern Marketing Collective, curated events, and her podcast - The Emily Osmond Show, helps women to market themselves easily and authentically online and make more money doing the work they love. Emily has a Master of Communications, with a thesis on social media, and after growing up England, then moving to regional Victoria, she is now based in Melbourne.  She's obsessed with crime podcasts, Staffies and all things interiors, which she blogs about on her internationally recognised platform, getinmyhome.com. Discover Emily's free Instagram resources at emilyosmond.com/free and connect with her on Instagram @emilyosmond.

Welcome to Season 2 of Her Empire Builder! I'm kicking off with episode 59 - covering the whole process I use to review the previous year and to set goals that actually turn into reality for the coming year ahead. You'll find the workbook to accompany this episode at tinatower.com/59

This season can get a little crazy and emotional. Today, instead of talking about how you can do goal setting and planning for 2020, I am talking about how you can really maximise your time over the holiday period to rest, recharge and refocus. Then, when the podcast is back on 15th January I'll be going through the full planning method for 2020, and you can do it with a clear mind and a happy and refreshed heart. Thanks for tuning in to Her Empire Builder this year, I have loved delivering an episode to you each week and look forward to coming back in the new decade!
