So many women don't know how to build generational wealth, or even how to make a profit. One very important aspect of making money is to make sure you pay yourself. If you don't pay yourself, you'll lose the motivation to keep your business going. It's also important to delegate. You might think you can't afford an assistant or a manager, but hiring someone to help will free up your time to do what really matters to help you make money.

A few years ago, at a women's empowerment luncheon, Simone Knego was listening to a motivational speaker she admired and thought, ‘That will never be me.' But then she realized, that's the whole point. You're not supposed to be someone else. You're supposed to be YOU. So, what if we all stopped comparing ourselves to others and chose, instead, to embrace and build on what we already have going for us? Simone is the writer and keynote speaker behind The Extraordinary UnOrdinary You, a platform that helps people realize what we're capable of and recognize what we already do to inspire others. As a wife, mother of six and serial entrepreneur, Simone leads what she calls ‘an ordinary life filled with extraordinary moments.' And she shares that unique journey in her bestselling book, The Extraordinary UnOrdinary You: Follow Your Own Path, Discover Your Own Journey. On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Simone joins Anjel to discuss her do-what-you-love approach to business and describe her willingness to evolve into the next entrepreneurial venture she wants to pursue. She explains what inspired she and her husband to have three biological children and adopt three more, sharing the strategy she uses to say NO to the things that don't serve her or her family. Listen in for Simone's insight on starting each day with positivity and learn how to change not who you are but the way you see yourself—and make a positive impact on the world!

To succeed in today's highly competitive business world, you need to be flexible and have exceptional planning and organizational skills. Unfortunately, many people start a business thinking that they'll instantly be successful, only to find that running a business is much more than putting in the hours. The dedication, creativity, and even luck required to make a business successful can demoralize even the most inspired entrepreneurs.   If starting one business is all that, what happens when someone juggles one, two, or even three businesses? When you add another venture into the mix, you're not doubling your workload; you're probably tripling it. Moreover, running multiple businesses does not mean each one will require an even split of time and energy. As any serial entrepreneur will tell you, starting, managing, and scaling multiple businesses is not all that crazy. In fact, it boosts your financial security, forces you to maximize all your skills, and diversifies your portfolio. But how can you divide your time among all your ventures and still make time for family? Today's guest, Simone Douglas, is a serial entrepreneur running multiple thriving businesses ranging from hospitality to digital marketing and is also a best-selling author. If you've ever thought about opening multiple businesses, then this episode is for you.   TOPICS WE DISCUSSED INCLUDE:  Getting to know Simone Douglas (03:40) Dissecting the role of a Fix-It specialist (07:04) How personal reflection can positively impact an organisation's business culture (09:14) How Simone took over and scaled The Duke of Brunswick Hotel (10:06) Why Simone decided to go gluten-free with her pub (11:00) The evolution of the social media space (14:37) Simone's thoughts on new social media platforms (18:30) How Simone balances social media usage and family life (21:26) Dissecting the world of BNI (23:56) How Simone successfully runs her businesses while taking care of her team (28:21) Top 5 tips for upcoming leaders (30:55) Connect with Simone Douglas  https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonedouglassocialmediaaok/ (Simone's LinkedIn) https://socialmediaaok.com.au/author/simone-douglas/ (Check out Simone's Website) https://www.amazon.com.au/Seriously-Social/dp/0648666727 (Simone's latest book) 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 www.madeformore.com.au/26

In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews Simone Dowding who has a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and has spent a year studying meditation and Buddhist philosophy with “His Holiness”, the Dalai Lama in the Himalayas. Simone is the founder of Conscious Business Evolution. She is a social enterprise expert, conscious business keynote, conscious capitalist, brand developer and strategist. Simone used to be the Managing Director at Change Coffee, and not long ago Head of this social enterprise at World Vision Australia, the first social enterprise on a mission to eradicate global poverty by 2030 and to use their profits to fund life-changing projects globally focusing on the economic empowerment of women.In this special chapter of Inspired Evolution, Amrit interviews Simone on two different occasions to talk about how Simone thrives to connect, inspire and make a difference in every single moment of her life, and how she loves to support people making conscious choices that positively impact their lives and the world.The first interview is live and takes place at “Get Hacked & Get Hi” in Melbourne, Australia, and the second one is performed virtually some other day in which they dive into the whole conversation a bit further.In the biohacking wellness event they talk about Simone’s three principles that make a difference in the world and solve humanity’s most urgent challenges, her journey finding these key values, what was it like walking back into the actual environment with a conscious leadership model that operates with kindness and compassion, and how these values help her day by day with the decision making process. Furthermore, they talk about all the challenges she had to face bringing awareness of leadership into the world, tools to manage all what she wants to achieve, how to break the pattern of worry and the importance of facing fears.In addition you will enjoy 5 minutes of meditation with Simone to release dark energy and honour a space of white seeds.In the second interview, they dive in a bit further. According to Simone, corporates hold the key to solving humanity’s most urgent challenges. They must employ commercial enterprise to create sustainable initiatives and lead by example by being profitable, accountable, responsible and conscientious.They talk about the inner work Simone does every day to build a bigger mountain of white seeds to create mental wellness, the world as a space of conscious capitalism, new systems to be seen in the business world and the importance of having conscious corporate leadership.In this episode you will learn how to consciously operate with kindness and compassion, master the tools to manage all what you want to achieve, face fears, build resilience, shift to a place of “we” instead of “me” taking self responsibility in actions and mindfully making choices that are in service to all, articulate what you stand for, and consciously evolve your organization in alignment with your principal values.About Simone Dowding:Simone Dowding is the founder of Conscious Business Evolution. She is a social entrepreneur and strategic business consultant who harnesses the power of business to drive social change. Simone transforms businesses for the greater good and creates purpose impact models for change. From being a coffee shop owner, then creating “The Blessed Bean” a nationwide award winning coffee roasting company with a wholesale distribution network spanning across Australia for over thirteen years, to being Head of Change Coffee, a social enterprise at World Vision Australia, that intends to eradicate global poverty and uses 100% of their profits to fund life-changing projects globally focusing on the economic empowerment of women.As a passionate advocate for social change, Simone’s vision for the corporate future would see every organisation realise its fullest financial potential whilst also contributing to the health of the planet.Simone believes that business holds the key to solve humanity’s most urgent challenges by utilising the power of commercial enterprise to create sustainable initiatives and that they should lead by example by being profitable, accountable, responsible and conscientious.The businesses Simone works with are proven to be more resilient, meaningful, and profitable, while creating huge social and environmental impact.“I believe in people’s basic human needs to connect, be inspired, and make a difference”Tune In Part I: Welcome Simone Dowding to the Inspired Evolution!: (00:00)About Simone’s principles: connect, inspire and impact: (00:17)Simone strongly believes we are all change makers and can change this world we live in. She refers to three values that help her shape her reality. Her three principles are connect, inspire and make a difference. Which are yours?“It all comes down to what can we do to change this world”How Simone’s principles help her with the decision making process?: (01:33)“Look for three pilars to guide you and behave in a positive way into the world when things get difficult.Setting up businesses aligned with own values: (03:00) Your principles can weave into any environment. If you believe in yourself and your values, it will weave its way through your whole organization, through your family, and through everything you do.“Create impact by being yourself and what you stand for”Simone’s journey in finding her three key values: (04:51) “Make a difference by operating with kindness and compassion”Walking back into actual environment with a conscious leadership model:(07:20)You must share all that you know that can help change this world. Simone would have loved to stay and live her whole life in the monastery, but instead, she decided to go out and share Buddhism philosophy to the world and try to make a change.“Our responsibility is to bring awareness of conscious leadership into the world”Challenges in bringing awareness of leadership into the world: (09:20)There is a conversation going on about a Buddhism spiritual paradigm that says that every action is contributing to creating our world. They talk about white seeds and black seeds. We all need to plant white seeds, kindness and love, that will be good for us and others. When things are not right we need to plant more.“Every action contributes to create our world”Live meditation with Simone to release dark energy: (12:02)Tools to manage all what Simone wants to achieve: (17:04) “Chose thoughts of love that will keep you stable”Breaking the pattern of worry and building resilience: (20:50)“Track fears that are holding you back to rise up into the space of who you really are” The importance of facing fears: (22:21)“Face your fears and transform them into love thoughts”Brief Q and A & another mantra: (23:18)Tune In Part II: Welcome back to the Inspired Evolution, we are diving in a bit further!: (28:35)Simone’s inner work day-to-day and benefits: (28:59)Building a mountain of white seeds; operating with love, kindness and compassion is work to be done every day and should be weaved into family, community, business and every aspect of our lives. Simone refers to the healing she brings at every moment integrated with whom we truly are“How you behave in every moment is authentic in integrity with your truth” About the world as a space of conscious capitalism: (32:32)Building new systems in the business world: (35:21)The idea is to “capitalize” on capitalism. The structure is here and if it disappears we would be in a complete chaos. So, we need to turn capitalism into a conscious capitalism. After all, a thriving community is a thriving business.“The opportunity is transformation in innovation of the capitalist system”About the world not shifting in time so species can live in harmony with it: (37:36)“Corporates will lead the change because they know that resources aren’t infinite”Conscious awakening alluding to systems that we are going to be living in: (39:01)“The systems that were serving us were leading us into disaster” Tomorrow's conscious corporate leadership according to Simone: (42:53)“We can still be profitable in this system” says the enterprise expert. The whole idea is that corporations should employ commercial enterprise to create sustainable initiatives and lead by example by being profitable, accountable, responsible and conscientious.“There will be a lot of purpose driven leaders with a lense around sustainability, humanity and planet”Principles aligned with what is ahead for us: (45:26)There is a huge sense of positivism. Simone is convinced we are shifting more to a place of “we” instead of “me” connected more with others and earth. “Be self responsible in your actions and make choices that are in service to all”Making decisions on ethical choices while others are not: (47:23)“Show others that there is something that may be different and inspire them to behave differently”Thank you Simone for connecting, inspiring and making a difference!: (48:39)Mentioned resources:World Vision Australia: https://www.worldvision.com.au/ Change Coffee: https://www.changecoffee.com.au/ The Blessed Bean: https://theblessedbean.com.au/ Connect with Simone Dowding:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/simone.mitchelldowding/about Instagram: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simone-dowding/?originalSubdomain=au Join the Inspired Evolution Community:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InspiredEvolution/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/InspiredEvo/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/InspiredEvolution/ Website: https://inspiredevolution.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Simone Sloan—diversity and inclusion specialist, business strategist and leadership coach—discusses how to become an inclusive leader. Simone shares her own early discovery that leaders with transactional management styles cannot nurture the kind of inclusive community at work that they need to succeed and advance. Bolstering practice with study and research, Simone explains how to lean in and understand team members’ experiences to: communicate differently, withhold judgments, connect and shift relationships, and improve collaboration.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   [02:25] Feeling the impact of a manager saying your inputs and ideas aren’t important or valued.   [03:50] What Simone discovered when she started branching out across the organization.   [04:20] The benefits of advocates and allies within your company.   [05:18] Building social capital – where women often miss out.   [06:14] When Simone took time to reflect and started being intentional about reaching out for short one-on-one meetings, she was surprised by the positive reactions she got.   [07:08] The importance of follow through and being strategic about building your tribe at work.   [08:39] During a merger, a colleague told Simone they ‘didn’t know her’. What did they mean and why did it matter?   [10:30] How Simone connected differently with her reports after she re-introduced herself.   [11:35] As relationships deepened across the team, the energy shifted and collaboration improved.   [13:15] How Simone transitioned from marketing to inclusive leadership by studying human behavior.   [13:45] What is ontological coaching and how does it help leaders perform?   [14:15] The difference it makes to start a meeting genuinely asking, ‘How is everyone doing?’.   [16:00] By understanding how everyone is showing up, it’s possible to shift a meeting from being transactional to intentional.   [16:40] How emotional intelligence creates awareness which leads to organizational clarity.   [17:35] Changing leadership styles and how to define what kind of leader you are.   [18:56] Simone explains how to be intentional about fostering an empathy-based company culture as a leader.   [20:44] How to help people connect by telling their diverse stories.   [22:06] Combining understanding and accountability—are you asking the right questions?   [22:40] Inclusive leadership means creating a safe space for people to share without retribution.   [23:52] The additional human dimension that COVID has pushed us all to understand.   [24:22] How vulnerability humanizes leaders and helps support people they’re not alone.   [25:46] Simone starts with values—what do you value as a human being?   [27:03] People want to be: welcomed, valued, respected, and heard—with commitment. Without one one of these, it’s exclusion.   [27:40] It’s a lot of work to make sure all four of these components are in place, but that’s the role a leader has to take on.   [27:53] How we start to reduce polarization and division across the country?   [29:15] We are in a period of change, which is why there is tension.   [29:57] Simone sees lack of trust as the greatest hindrance to cooperation going forward.   [30:40] Communication is the key to building trust, paying attention to style, cadence and content.   [32:25] Putting aside assumptions and judgments about others is essential when collaborating and communicating with others -- allowing them to show you how they see themselves.   [32:52] How leaders can reduce judgments with intentional awareness and reality checking.   [36:10] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: To become a more inclusive leader, think about what kind of experience people are having with you.   RESOURCES   Simone Sloan on LinkedIn   Simone Sloan on Facebook   Simone_Sloan_ on Instagram   Simone Sloan on Twitter — @AimInspireGrow   Biz Coach Network on YouTube   Yourchoicecoach.com   QUOTES   “When you are in it from a non-management role, that's where you feel the impact of what's inclusive, and what's not.”   “Think about who do I know, who knows me, who have I been interacting with? And start bridging out, and asking for a 15-minute one-on-one.”   “After opening up about our mood then we get into the agenda. Then we can start tackling things because now we have an understanding of where everyone's coming from and how they're showing up.”   “How are you defining your leadership style? Because some people have no clue, they're just like, ‘I just do.’”   “During this pandemic, I've seen more leaders get more vulnerable. When people can humanize themselves in front of large groups, people go, ‘Oh I'm not alone.’”   “People want to be welcomed, valued, respected, and heard. If one of those four things do not exist, it's an exclusion.”

Once she decided to go all in, things shifted for her as an entrepreneur, making her more focused on winning in that arena. She knew her worth, and she was tired of convincing other people of it. She felt that her experiences were unappreciated. She now focuses 100% of her efforts on being an entrepreneur, enjoying learning to be a CEO. It's a juggling act, balance everything on her plate, but she’s incredibly proud of herself on how far she’s come. She sees what's possible, and she’s inspired by the women she encounters on a daily basis.
