If you met Jemima on the street, or sat next to her on a plane, your first thought wouldn't be “small town girl”. You'd be surprised to learn that she was the daughter of the local cop, and she grew up in a community of 100 people in regional Victoria. I first met Jemimah in one of those friend of a friend of a business colleague type of situations, and we got to know each other as I was moonlighting in my lunch breaks before going full time in my business. Our emails started out with “kind regards” but now we just send memes of animals, or average people competing in the olympics. After a thirteen year career in law enforcement, Jemimah left the Australian Federal Police and has since gone on to start multiple businesses, release a best-selling book, win multiple awards, and be named one of Australia's top 10 entrepreneurs. She heads up The Visibility Lab, which helps small business owners grow and scale with practical, helpful advice and helps them get noticed for their talents. As the one who always sits facing the coffee shop door, and is my valiant protector from cappuccino poisonings, I wanted to ask Jemimah how creativity can even exist in law enforcement. She told me how she used her problem solving methods of over / under / through, and how it helped her see angles in her work that others couldn't. She also had a different take on creativity that we haven't had on the podcast yet - that we're born curious rather than creative - and you'll definitely see that as a pattern in her own life as she stays open to opportunities that could be magic, especially since she didn't come from a particularly creative household, and challenged her path from one that could have been a little more agricultural than her current indoor plant collection. As with all my guests, I started by asking Jemimah what she'd do with her time on day two of winning $100 million dollars. This episode is full of siding door and aha moments, and I have a sneaking suspicion that it will make you think about your own path too. Please enjoy my chat with Jemimah.

Each week we expose the faulty foundational mindsets of the past and rebuild the newer, stronger foundation essential in creating your meaningful legacy. We've got a lot of work to do. So let's get started. As much as you like this podcast, I'm certain that you're going to love the book that I just released on Amazon if you will, your legacy, the nine pillars to build a meaningful legacy. I wrote this to share with you the experiences that I had while I was identifying my identity, how I began to create my meaningful legacy and how you can create yours. You're going to find this book on kindle amazon and as always on my website, Sam Knickerbocker comWelcome back to fuel your legacy and this week, and every week I feel like the guests that I'm having on are getting better and better and better. This week specifically, is a week to listen to if you are a female entrepreneur. You're in a business, you're striving to build something you want to be successful and show your worth and show other people and yourself that you can be successful in whatever you put your mind to. Then this is the episode for you. So I'm excited to bring to you, Gemma Ashley, she's from Australia. And she is on a mission, a crusade. She's, I mean, she needs more help, right. But part of her crusade is to help female lead businesses she according to her, she says 97% of female web businesses are failing. And her goal is to minimize that, if not eliminate it, which I love that trying to create these massive impacts and people Gemma herself, has built three successful businesses and as just a really highly sought after business consultant and has the number two if I'm reading this correctly, number two posted Australian podcast business podcast. So she's a scratch fish. She's no small fish. From the land down under. So I'm super excited, I'm excited to learn because of I, my primary clientele, if you listen to this podcast, you know, my primary clientele is females as well. Maybe from a different place, but I want to help them become successful and help them gain financial confidence to build and create a meaningful legacy to them. And so with that, go ahead and let us know, like where you came from how you got into this passion project of helping female entrepreneurs. And where's that headed? What do you building?Yeah, thank you. So I love that intro. Thank you so much. That was a great interview. Yes, sir. All of that stuff that you just said is accurate. So the United Nations released the horrifying statistic that 97% of female lead startups will fail in the first five years. This is what I don't know about you. But for me, this was pretty much an unacceptable number. And it gets worse when I tell you that female lead startup are failing at Twitter to write about male counterparts. So this is Such an absolute passion project for me in such a thing that I just find unacceptable for so many different reasons. But I'll just take you back a little bit first. So I've always worked in male-dominated areas. I started my career not in business at all. I used to work in law enforcement. And for 10 years, I worked for a company or an agency for the strange better place in Australia, and I live while I love my job after 10 years of being a law enforcement, I was exceptionally been out I was known as ever having a good day law enforcement, right, you've either got victims, you've got offenders and you've got community impact. And I was working instead of people smuggling, human trafficking, major drug offenses, like these are not little impact things for the community. These are significant challenges. So I was what Oh, sorry, only about 8% of females are kind of doing 8% of the population with a female. So I certainly always have kind of been in male-dominated areas in 2015I had a bit of experience that kind of changed everything for me where Ifound myself stressed and suffering for the first time sort of having anxiety attacks. And realize that I was sort of stressed out and needed to kind of get some work-life balance. And with that, I started my first business and wanted a little bit of a side hustle of a creative release. And I started making jewelry of all things. And the more that I learned about sort of making jewelry and the more that I sort of people that asked me to, to buy pieces, and I was so incredibly grateful for that. And I wanted to learn more and more about business, which is where the podcast comes in. So start learning as much as I can about a business I rapidly and then start the podcast. And sorry, it was yet named one of the top two business podcasts to be listening to which is pretty amazing. It was called the business experiment and we wrap that up in 2020, end of 2017. So I came up kind of beautiful podcast there and sort of again, now again, tech and being as male-dominated As well, where I started to sort of see this sort of thing about within a real sort of really started presenting itself was about networking events. I was doing them on my profile group, I was talking to more and more women and that was just like I just didn't have time. I'm struggling to get on top of what I needed to get done. And the reason that that and when I started digging into the statistics for women and why we're failing, it was the right there was a there was very much the identity, identify very quickly, that we have something called invisible tasking. This is the intangible stuff that we have to do. For example, we need milk today. Or no one's having a coffee. We need to take them to the vet. When you take the kids to school. We are going to vacuum the floor. This invisible tasking is giving like amazing visible jobs. I like four hours a day for women. Women are doing 85% on average, and I'm not as I know there are a few people out there will say my husband and I have a split or I certainly do you know my wife, I do the lion's share of that, that's great. But statistically, women are doing 85% of all household tasks. So this stuff adds up. And if you are doing four hours extra day, and 85% of all the other stuff, and you're trying to start a business, and we're looking at that business, taking at least two years to start to make a profit, if not even getting any revenue and adult you are something has to give your kids your family and it was always going to come to this. This is why women are opting out. Because leaders like we get we just physically, mentally and emotionally can't support doing all the things that we have to do. So being around now intelligent women and figuring out what the other thing women are doing, is we don't start at the beginning. We tend to go I think I understand the goals and values. I think I understand what I need to do next. And they try to skip steps because they just don't have as much time. We came up with this wild idea about what if we gave women the right tools The right time in the right order. And that's where this whole thing came from about giving women the right support at the right time.That's awesome.It's a lot. It's a lot of information. I just, youknow, it's interesting. So what, what made you want to go into law enforcement in the beginning, like what was the dream or vision? What were you fulfilling by being in law enforcement?Yeah, I grew up in a very rural community. Um, I like I'm talking, I can share a shape. I had to catch a bus for an hour to go to school every day. We had a farm, I can drive attract out like a very rural community. And for a lot of it, I didn't everyone sort of assumed that I would stay local and that I would be doing what 95% of people did become a teacher or a nurse or a mom and Mary that you know, 20 that was never really inherently in me. I did things at school like languages like Indonesian and French, and Russian history. And so all three of my high school years, but I, I fell in love with legal studies when I started doing Legal Studies. And what ended up coming out of that was a very smart teacher said to me, don't pick the end-all job that you want, pick something you're in a field that you're interested in when I was looking at Green university and college in 2013, and I went, Okay. And I got quite interested in legal studies and process and the Twin Towers at full and cheese earlier. You know, the war on terror was certainly well underway. And I realized that I liked this kind of area of psychology mates, law enforcement. And my dad had been a local police officer for many years. So I understood the legal stuff and I was interested in it. And that's where I decided I wanted to join these strange, better place and so I work through my way through the courts, getting some experience, then which over in prisons for a little while, and then our evod she Victoria place before Ultimately being recruited by these right?And yeah, an amazing job.That's awesome. And was at any point in time, did you have people who were thinking, why are you going into that field? Like, was it? Yeah, Sarah, she was trying to distract you from following that as your passion at that point time? Or was it like people support you have that goto things that can be true birthdays happened? So I remember picking sir, at the end of the mainstream schooling system, we have sort of a huge well, exam period, where the entirety of the state is ranked against each other. And you were given a number for where you sat percentage-wise. And so you know, everyone's going to get the 80s and 90s because that opens up every door. I sat sort of in the lower ideas, and I was offered two different degrees that I had asked to do. One was education and schooling I looked at during the secondary teaching for a little while. The other degree that I looked at was doing national security and again, filling inside your something I was interested in doing. And one of my teachers who I know meant well but missed the mark a little bit. He said to me, if you end up doing national security, you will going to end up working not doing security at Bob's don't do that. And I thought that's very narrow decided.I was like,a little possible outcome. Yeah, the only time I'm going to do is like any game, the bar that was nearby, like you're gonna I remember thinking, that was the first time I recognize that some people had we're never going to leave behind. And that's not going to be me in any way, shape or form. It's not going to be me. So then other people will see disappointed when I joined like my dad was a police officer. He was super supportive of me doing that and but again, always Very young, I was only 2022 when I sort of joined law enforcement. Sorry, a very young female. But you know, it was good it was a good career move.That's so interesting. I love that realization, I think more people need to have that in all areas of their life, not just a physical location geographically, like, man, some people are never going to leave. And it's okay that you leave them. That and that could be friendships, that could be family, that could be employed, that could be children. And that could be so many business partners, whatever. Some people, they're just flat, unwilling to grow and to develop themselves. And I'm not advocating for splitting up families, but I'm not advocating for that at all. There is however, a reality that we need to be conscious of what we owe allegiance to ourself as individuals first and if we choose to stay back, then we aren't actually able to help the people that we love most if we're willing to venture out and leave For a time, there's going to be a time when we become successful and all those people that we left that we abandon right or that they thought we abandoned them, that we're actually able to help them like nobody else could have helped them.I think I think, absolutely note it 100% agree with you, I think we have to recognize it is that people, I, I think most people are not trying to dissuade you from your dreams because they don't believe you can do it. They try to dissuade you because they're scared for you. And there's a big difference. So it's because they can't do it so that they don't want you to succeed. I think most people in everyone's life like if someone blatantly doesn't want you to succeed, you need to evaluate who you're spending time with. Because I mean, Jim Merton famously quoted You are the sum of the five people do not underestimate that the people that you're around, he grades by you pushing you to make you a better person. You need to be very acutely aware of where you're spending your time and what you know who was in influencing your circle. But I think, for the most part, people are just scared for you. And because they've never had the ability they don't know if you can do those people don't want to say fail. I think that's you know, for people that care about you. And then other people have more malicious kind of activity of like, well, I never go to succeed so you canYeah, I'm it's healthy it's a healthy dose of both I think in most people's lives. But the same realization, I think needs to come like okay, you're not going to change. Yeah, but that doesn't have to be my future. So I love that example. So you were there. Finally got some anxiety sounds like you just burnt out in your profession. Yeah. And years and 10 years is a long time. It's way past the average of somebody staying in any one career field,especially millennial like let's be honest,in our lifespan, and what we're looking at five to seven years is like the max for most Yeah. That's really where the average is at the high end of the average, to remain in an industry just because of shifting, shifting world tide. I mean, there are so many things that could implement that and I love that you went from. I mean, you have three very, very different industries. It sounds like law enforcement, to jewelry making, building a business and jewelry, podcasting, and now business coaching. I mean, there's so the three such different areas of working or four different areas of working. What was that transition like? And do you feel like it was a more natural transition or was it a big delineation between each transition,it was a very natural transition, I think the jewelry so the jewelry comes about I mean, New York City and I had a bit of a chance encounter where I was staying and I met a silversmith, who was making jewelry and I do would work in middle school, but I'm a little older, maybe I can't admit to but I was told when I wanted to do that in sort of the year 11 or 12 areas that I would be the only go. I certainly wasn't declined from doing it because I was female. But it was I was told with no uncertain terms. You will be in here McGill in this class. So maybe you don't want to do that. Okay. I'm sorry. I opted not to do their thing. So I refound something that I was very interested in. I liked working with metal and electric wouldn't. I grew up on a farm so I was like, hey, getting my hands dirty. and law enforcement isn't exactly keeping your hands clean a lot of the time. So I ended up sitting with a gentleman for a couple of hours, who was a silversmith and making jewelry pieces, which was incredible, was absolutely incredible afternoon, and I thought I really I'm really interested in this because I like that you started with nothing and ended up with something and that was the first time I really Having some thunder and lightning having this never happens in LA about By the way, it never rains it is never stones, and like, oh, not saying Thunder lightning. So, uh, yeah. So it was very, very natural for that. And then I wanted to learn more about business. I was starting a business, I grew my business very quickly, I very much had an inherent understanding of what I needed to do. But with the businesses it grew, I need to get more education. So I was consuming podcasts, a lot of focus. I was consuming a lot of articles, I found Gary Vaynerchuk. I was watching his videos and content every day. And it was incredible. And then I thought, well if I'm learning this stuff, I wouldn't be able to teach other people. And within three to four months of really throwing myself into the deep end of learning, whatever I could, I realized very quickly that I could delineate between really good advice and terrible advice. And I could identify he was selling the snake oil and he had to really, who knew what I was doing. And so I wanted to give that to other people. Coming up. Sure. And that's where the polka dot.There are two things that I want to highlight, in that area of the story. One is that so often in life, the things that give us joy are refound something from our childhood or younger years that we think was no longer an option because we got married had kids, we no longer can be a pro golfer, we no longer can go and have these incredible dreams. And that's just flat not true. And guys have the same problem, right? I will be with people all the time men who they're working a nine to five job that they hate whatever, but because they fathered a child or they got married, then they feel like it's their duty and their responsibility to provide for their family in a safe, secure environment. And it's not just a male-female problem like it's not either one gender. There are equally just as many men who hate their lives as women in my opinion, and that maybe I'm perspective, right. But there's one the second part of that. Is this interesting thing that I think more people need to be aware of what are your unique experiences, she had a unique experience, and maybe unique from a perspective of it probably happens to a lot of women. It's not unique in that area. But it's unique that as part of her story and what's serving her that she wanted to follow our passion. And she was dissuaded from following her passion, due to based on sex or gender, saying, well, you're going to be the only one in this industry. So maybe you don't want to do that. And now, what is she passionate about? she's passionate about helping women and she's quoting statistics and the language that she's using, and I'm not slamming this case at all. Don't take this. I'm trying to call attention to it so people can see it in their own life. But the language pattern that she uses so naturally is a conversation of Male males in an industry versus females in the industry, she's drawing that contrast, specifically, so she can help the people that she needs to help. And if you as an individual, you may have unique experiences in any area of your life, maybe it's not your division that you need to call attention to isn't between genders or, or sex, maybe it's between one type of product or another type of product. But for me, it's between one type of financial advice or another type of financial advice. Like, you have to create that separation. So there's clarity in who you're trying to help and why you're trying to help them, then it's a very important thing when you're building a brand or building a business, that you're focused on creating that delineation of who you're there to help and why you're there to help them. What are your thoughts on that? I'm curious.Um, I agree language is very important. I think one of the things I really want to highlight here is that what you have to remember in everything that you do is that there is there are polarity and Everything that we do sorry for every negative as a positive for every positive, there is negative, what you have to be careful of and he says, I think when you're talking about between this advice, and this advice is that business, if you're in this kind of area, you have to be very careful not that there isn't a judgment call. And there isn't like, this is negative. This is bad. This is good. This is you know, and I'm not trying to draw that women need more help than men. I've certainly worked with a lot of male clients. I've certainly wished for a lot of female clients. It is around the seas. Let's give it to me. It's about equality. And it's about giving people the opportunity regardless of agenda, the right opportunity at the right time to get their business underway. What we've just identified is where there is a huge gap for women. This isn't to say women should be given jobs that they're not qualified for it certainly not what I'm saying I'm certain I'm for equality across the board. I think the really big thing that we have to be careful of when we have that language is that we expect Nothing is good or bad. It's just like, this is why we're doing the thing we're doing sorry. Like, you're just really when you when you're making that big statement viewers around, they usually make judgment behind it. So it's just this is what I think.But I agree I'm gonna, I'm gonna share how I would have that conversation and place and why right? And not necessarily the conversation but the language, right because we use judgment in so many different ways. It's almost like the English word for love. We only have one word for love. And we use that I love this phone. I love my wife, I love my kids. I love my step. It's like, well, what type of love are you talking about? Because there is it a different type of love with your actual partner than there is with your child? Hopefully, not the same, right? So. So judgment is one of those words that's used, I think overused. And then because overused is taken out of context. So I have to make a judgment call by the five people I hang around with. It's not good or bad. bad but it's a judgment call. I'm judged on judging a situation and determining how I want to proceed in that situation. And that is a judgment call. But I'm driving down the street and there's a red light versus a green light. Now I know the laws, I know that it's illegal to drive through a red light, but there's nobody on the road, right? Then I have to make a judgment call Am I going to stop and go through stop fully for this red light or I'm going to go through it. And most people they're going to stop and that's a judgment call they make now are they allowed to go through it and share if they want to. And then there's a potential danger, I think where the emotion so to do it to take whether it's good or bad, the emotion comes in when we start condemning one choice when we start labeling it and that's when the emotional emotion of the judgment call steps in. And that's what I would separate. You do making judgment calls you have to be making judgment calls if you refuse to make judgment calls in your life. You're going to be living an aimless life with like a ship without a rudder, right? You need to be making judgment calls throughout your life. You need to be in my opinion, making condemnation calls or condemning something as good or bad doesn't serve you in the long run. But judgment calls. I think you should make judgment calls all the time.Yeah, I would agree with that. It's just again, it's just that it's like everything is negative everything is positive polarity. Is that it? Is that just understanding that you know, reframing something completely negative or completely positive? Two things always true.Yeah, yeah. So anyway, that'show I right great, great point. Absolutely. 100% agree with that.Yeah, I've just found that some people use judgment too often. I'm just like, okay, butlet me reframe. Let me rephrase it. Like, it's a big thing. Because if you can reframe that, you know, you're correct when you say that if you never judge anything you're never getting. It's true. Like if you have to decide there are decisions that he made. So um, but yeah, I think just condemning, condemning is probably definitely the word.Cool. Not so I want to go into this invisible tasking thing because the first time I've ever heard it called That I love the term. I wonder how because I just I went through this experience with my wife where she's feeling overwhelmed with all this invisible tasking and she sees me because I don't bring my work home with me and I don't like allow it to I don't vocalize of my invisible tasking at work, then it appears like there's an inequality. And I believe that there probably is in the area of home tasks like things that just needs to be done to keep the home running. I am again, this is just to draw a contrast, and I just so everybody's aware, I completely agree with Gemina I said it wrong again. Yeah, sorry, I've been saying that wrong, too long. So drama, that it's something that needs to be aware of, and I would say written down and some clarity and some decisions made on who's going to worry about certain things in the household. 100% agree with that. The thing that often gets overlooked just from a man's perspective and I'm sure that you would agree with this is when you are running a business there's just as many invisible tasking things going on on the the weight of the person who's the main breadwinner of a household, and all of the things that they're thinking about all the things that they have to get done all the things that they have to do to maintain the income to support all the household tasking that's happening. And so be aware that it's not just like oh, I have all this invisible tasking and it's wrong that I have it and my partner should be doing more of the load. Your partner probably feels the same way from an income perspective, depending on I mean, it depends on the dynamics of your household but I definitely Yeah,yeah, I say where this as I agree with you, I hate the person here is growing like generally, you will find particularly in the startup realm, you will find that one person generally has a stable job. And then you have sort of the Let's call them the main breadwinner in the situation, then you if you have a female who is running a house and also joins your business, even double the Lord of the invisible talking, which is where really I kind of come in and go, all right, how do we shorten this period of time. So I have found that you know, in the thousands of hours that I have gone and spoken to so many people about this. And the visible talking is, is predominantly found the way you don't think it's going to be found, and it is not in four or five-hour jobs. I'm talking that 10 or 15 minutes, an hour that you were doing stocks out very quickly. I'm talking about the fact that Christmas is just around the corner, and that we have Christmas presents to buy Christmas presents to wrap Christmas tree to go up. These things on average, take about 10 hours to sort of getting every Christmas present under the tree. This is the time that's been cut out and if this is you know it's a division of time. But at the end of the day, it is also just a societal issue. It's not just, it's something that women have been taught that we have, we cook, we cook the meals, we clean the house, we do the thing. And a lot of the time, we don't even really sort of realize we're doing it because we mimicking the things that we're saying that families doing on here. And there are very simple solutions to these. This is not like you have to go home and ruin your marriage and start screaming each other about who's doing what he sees, actually, for $100 or $80 and $50. In some situations, how much money is it going to cost us to get someone to come in and clean our house every two weeks? That single-handedly changed my relationships just by going I don't have to worry about who's cleaning the bathroom and have those conversations anymore? because someone's going to come in once a week and do it. And do you have much time I get freed up it's about these little hacks? The very small ones. It's not reinventing the wheel. It's like Well, how do we make this more equal? but also how do we take it off? Everyone's flights, we don't have to worry about it. This is why we have virtual assistants. This is why we have what else can you outsource? I've gotten one client who's a male. He lives in Austin, Texas. And he loves this idea of these tiny little hacks so much he had me go through his entire day like what else could we do a little hack around to the point now he gets all of these meals to live in. Pre coach pre-package all of that so he can focus on what needs to be done. That task is cleaned every two weeks. He gets he does all of his laundries but it's an allocated Dana allocated time that he does that. So it's not bleeding into other times. It's not around you know, how dare you I told you, like, let's not fight about free-spending five minutes, take the legit like, the garbage has to go out guys. This has to happen. How can we make it that it's going to have the least amount of impact in the day to day stuff? We still need milk. The dogs don't care that the kids have to go to school. This is how this one goes. How can we make it easier and when Effectively figuring out how to borrow for time.Yeah, no, I love that. And I completely agree. It's one of the reasons that my wife and I hired a nanny and his spin-off thing. Yeah. I completely agree and I so I think that I just want to create a good discussion for people can come on and see both sides of the things. Now you this uh, again, all the stuff that we've been talking about really good I think that this last thing that I want to highlight of your story, or what you're doing now is probably the biggest in my opinion of so far we've talked and what I've read about you, this is the biggest thing, giving people what they need when they need it and not allowing them to skip steps. Yeah, this is I sincerely believe this is the one thing that holds its held me back in the past it's helped so many people back in the past because you are building from the right foundation I sit down and talk to somebody about their finances or I've got money here about money got money here. Mike Okay, does that serve you? is it helping you build the legacy that you want? Is it help? Is it even remotely aligned with your core values? And does it bring you fulfillment? Right? And people are like, Well why do I need to talk about that? Just here's my money and go manage I'm like, no, that's not how it works. I don't want to make money unless I know I'm doing these things for you. And it's turning the whole conversation on its head really, and seeking for that fulfillment seeking for what the meaning in what you're doing first, and then everything else becomes so much easier. Decisions become easier clarity of what do we need outsource? What do we not need to outsource? Right. You could if you're somebody I have a guy in my neighborhood. He could he's wealthy enough he could outsource taking care of his landscaping and cutting his grass. However, that is like the most relaxing thing to do. He cares for literally like a golf course he has a golf course lawnmower. It's perfectly flat. If they had to a Few years ago, he had to change like, I don't know, 100 square feet of grass. He wanted to sod over some planter beds. Instead of just like putting sod over those planter beds, he tore up his entire yard related sprinkler system and read it everything just to make sure that a few feet of grass blended in with each other. Like he loves it. Could he outsource it? He absolutely could. But it wouldn't give him the fulfillment.Would I outsource it? Absolutely. Oh, yeah,me too, right now. But that's the thing like understanding, again, doesn't not good or bad, but understanding what fulfills you is there has to be the foundation. So speak to that as far as like, how you make sure that people are getting just the right steps in the right order at the right time.So you know that earlier when he spoke about the foundational stuff, I have so many people that come to me and guard. I just want to write my book. Does my book should be number one. And when that happens, it's going to change the game and I'm going to get paid like, five figures to speak from stage. And then I can turn it into a six-figure coaching program. And I'm like, Why? What? Why? Why do you want that? What's the outcome? Do you know? If because if the outcome is and I know that you can attest to this. If you don't know why you're doing something, there is largely maybe not a point to be doing it at all. Stay with me. If I if you said to me, we sit down, we have assembly sit down, and we have this conversation. I said, So tell me, um, why do you want to be in business? And you said because I want to take my kids to Disneyland. I went to Disneyland every year. Okay, and you want to stay at the hotel and my kelly instead of two weeks? Okay, great. And we do the math of that. And let's say that it's going to cost $20,000 that does not answer why you want to do this job. If you tell me that, you want to make six figures and you think this is the easiest way to do it. You've got to be kidding me. This is by far the hardest thing you ever did to your reason. Like if you just want six figures to go get a job. But there I can name 100 careers right now that you can go make six figures today in this has to be bigger than you for two reasons. One, this is a commitment, this is a lifestyle choice. This is not a career This is a lifestyle choice. It is not a clock on the clock off when we say we're like ha nowadays, we don't make any. It's not like I lay down on the couch and have a 15 minute now I take 15 minutes out of that. That's not how this goes. It's a lifestyle choice. We live brave, I ate it. It is 1240 here I'm in Los Angeles. I'm I have client calls all day. I love my job. I love it like I live to breathe my job. I'm still going to go out and do la stuff. I'm so probably gonna have to take clinical This is what our lives look like. It is just a mesh with each other. The other thing that I would say is that when we start from like, why are we doing why we're doing, we have to go back to the foundations. And I've always explained it like building a house. Most people get to their block of land and start to throw up a structure without having any idea what the foundation is. When we're in entrepreneurship, you have to build that so strongly. So it is never going to fall. Your concrete has to be set, it has to be ready to go. I have businesses that will turn out to me who are doing close to six, seven figures who are trying to hit that barrier, right and try to go to the seven months. And the amount that can't tell me why they're doing what is why they're doing what they're doing is astounding. The problem is, and they've been out and they tired and they're getting over it and like this has been hard and maybe they're just sort of feeling medium means a lot less I learned for like high fives, low sixes and they sort of just saying like, I just don't know why. why I'm doing this anymore. I can't think of a reason. Your y has to be bigger than you for those days when you're exhausted and you're done and you want to check out you like I don't do this anymore. I have to be able to look at my pile of work and feel tired and go well 97% of small business female-led startups are going to file in the next five years. If I don't keep doing this, what's going to change? If you're wise I need to in 60 years or $100,000 so big enough to make you get out of bed. It's not enough for there to be a pain point. And you know, we've never changed anything when we haven't gotten tired of her and stuff. So it's it's a big, it's a big thing to make sure that you have the foundations really down on your while you're doing something and I spent a lot of time with clients going, why are we doing this and more specifically, what do you want to end upbecause these are the easy steps to skip. They are putting a Facebook page up super easy. Starting to get some followers on Instagram, not difficult. Start to like maybe sell one or two products. But if your foundations on set, you are going to have to tap out, you will be going to have to go, I can't go up anymore. You have no drive, you have no direction, you have no anything you just going to sort of flail around. This is where we get into trouble as well. Besides, we didn't have a debate. And don't get me wrong. But the absolute journey of entrepreneurship is not a straight line between a debate, this is you are going to go on a bushwalk you're definitely going to fall asleep, you're probably going to get hit by a train, you're going to get sick, you're going to have things go wrong, you're going to get lost. And then you're going to finally end up at bay and be like, now what do I do that hottest to us firsties danger area because we can get just enough done that we're feeling productive. We can start to say just enough return that it's worth it. But if we don't have those whys and the foundations in place, we know going any further than that kind of staying in that bushwalk for the next couple of years.No, I love it. So that's exactly where I've found I've talked to a lot of business coaches and anybody Who's planning on starting you out anywhere other than what she just described? I would run from and that's just the complete answer. They have a lot of good tactics that are effective for the right person who's already gone through this. But if you're somebody walking in thinking Facebook marketing is going to blow up your business but you don't know why I don't like you're you will waste money in Google AdWords, SEO, it doesn't matter like if you are going in without understanding what's happening. Nothing is going to help you and I just can't express that enough because it's in every area of your life if you don't know why you're getting into a relationship with a man or a woman why you're starting a family I mean, it goes every area of your life if you don't have a good why I promise you life is hard. And it's harder than just cuz right so if that's your reason for doing something is just cuz it's very unlikely you'll succeed in the long run.Yeah, absolutely. Isn't it? Look, let me be very clear here. Success is not an accident. No one won an Academy Award is like, Oh my god, I can't believe I did that. This was fully intentional. When you get the number one business podcast in Australia, you Sorry, this was intentional. When you get an Amazon best selling book. It is an intentional success. It may look like we're like, look at this amazing thing that happened. No, I worked my butt off for all of that stuff to happen. Everyone does, do not make do not think that I'm just going to figure it out as I go along. I have never met a business coach or someone successful that does not have another business coach behind them, doesn't have people guarding them. This is like me, this is the interesting thing about business coaching, is that people, you know, it's a huge investment to make. I was like it's the only investment. I agreeand it's not that big. Like, even no matter what I don't every time I've paid a business coach. I've always made my money back, way more than I everreally and if you're not would be and this is why people say like I just made like $150 per person I get this and I was like they again the and also like the smaller investment and the first thing you should be asking is like when you if you are going to engage with business coach The first thing to awesome is how you need to ask yourself is have they done what you want to do? If it isn't if someone walked to me and said I want to make a million dollars today, I was like I've never done that but I can sell airy-fairy to other people. I'm not the coach for you. Someone says to me, oh, and already best-selling book. I want to be a stakeout. I want to travel the world. I want to have clients so I can live out of a suitcase. I've done that for six months. I've got you that very easy to do. If you being a financial guy is you know, you people say I want to have $100,000 in savings if you've done it. Absolutely. If you haven't done it doesn't take that on. Like I have to be very, very mindful of that because that's where I think a lot of people get into trouble. Oh, sorry. There's also no Worldwide, there is no like, qualification to be a coach. So I picked effectively you need to ask me what business hearing? But also the other question is what businesses if you hiring but what training do you have and what other clients have you had? Because the number of people that I've met that like I'm a health coach, and I've done like a six-hour course online, or the person who's a life coach, because I read a Tony Robbins book. Do you think I'm kidding about this stuff? It is painfully accurate when you start to ask questions. Ask the questions is the other thing.Yeah, that's crazy. I mean, it just is what it is, though. It's rampant in the world. And it's important to know how to vet and paying somebody sometimes just to that the coaching,right? Yeah, it's reallygood coaching or is not good coaching. Soand speak to coaches and say, who would you recommend if I wanted to do this thing? Because good coaches will not be like, I'll help you. I'll help you. That was not my wheelhouse, but other people do to it. Well, yeah, airfare you won't get referrals from people that you know, like and trust.Yep, absolutely. So I'm curious, like, what was the ultimate? If you were to say this helped me the most overcome my naysayers in life? How did you like silence the biggest naysayers in your life?Oh, that's a good question. I think there wasn't one moment where I felt likeI stopped all the naysayers. But I do remember the moment that I stopped explaining myself to other people, which I think was the moment that I stopped caring if I had a very stable government job. All my friends needed our government. I traveled extensively around the world my job, and I'd started a jewelry business and the podcast was blowing up like we were on cuantas we were in Marie Claire, like we and this was not I don't pay I've never paid a central publicity ever and I will never be paid to me magazines zozo stuff and I had my beautiful friend Andrew and I apologize to you Anytime, because so many people like so you're during a bit you were you were in placing and then you went inside of a jury business and now you doing a podcast like I don't understand. And he just sort of said to me explain it to me. And I was, I was like, No, I'm done explaining it. No, I'm sorry. I'm out. And that was the moment that I think I stopped caring about the nice eyes, and about the people going to explain what you doing to me. Because I realized two things. One, I was done explaining the two The longer I spent talking about my stuff and explaining my life choices, the less time I was working on my business. So my advice if you have naysayers around you, and the thing is, one of you is correct. You're telling me I can't do it. And I'm telling you, I want to do it. One of us is going to be right. It is my job to make sure I am correct. The one guy said fighting with you about why I'm going to do it. The last time I'm spending doing the thing I sent him VCs where the magic is. So it's almost about the nice size exists, they are always going to exist. They become less vocal, the more work that you do, but it is about 100% implementation every single time. Yeah.I agree. I love it. Thank you for sharing that. I'm curious. If you were to focus on one habit, mindset or behavior that you've used in your life to create and focus on building a meaningful legacy, what would that be and how could we adopt into our life?legacy for me is just about everything I'm legacy is. I think if every person can have an understanding that you are going to die, the time that you have is finite. And the problem is that you think you have time very famous quote, is that will change the way that you live your life. wholeheartedly, there is no guarantee which more you look at. There is an amazing if you want to get some perspective on the There is an amazing video by a guy named see Frank. And it's called the jelly bean and jelly beans. And they lay out the average person's lifespan in jelly beans. And then they take out all the days that you sleep well the days that you shower or the days that you can meet all the days and you're leftover with you say your days left in Jelly Bean. We have a finite amount of time. That is the thing that's going to change the game if you can realize you're going to die, and that your legacy eventually your legacy is everything you have left it is very easy to be committed to growth.Thank you. Thank you. I love that that's your habit. I nobody's ever said that on the show before. Something I wholeheartedly agree on. And I think that would play into the final question here but I love that that is the habit and mindset that you need to get into to make everyman my habit is get up at 530 in the morning. Yeah sucks and I'm sorry. But if you want to, you know it's a success. is a numbers game let me very clear on this is fully intentional I work an extra two hours longer than most other people every day aheadI love it so how if we wanted to reach you get access to your books I mean your podcast is done I don't know if it's still up andit is evergreen I'm still we still have like requests for interviews which is kind of cute.

It's like a game show. It's called legacy on rapid-fireguy.I love it. five questions. Looking for one word, the one-sentence answers landing to the one sentence. Okay. So first question is, what do you believe is holding you back from reaching the next level of your legacy today.I've been traveling for the last six months living out of it. the suitcase I have lost a large amount of my routine which is a problem at the moment for me I'm very routine orientated. So I'm trying to figure that out like I have Wi-Fi all the time. I find the social time that's holding me back.Okay, awesome. What do you think the hardest thing you've ever accomplished has beena probably international bestselling author that was quite huge. Or quitting my six-figure salary.Okay, and what do you think the greatest success at this point in your life has been?I too many to name I'm sorry, incredibly proud of what I've achieved. Leaving my job is my greatest success in doing that and betting on myself. 100% betting on myself and going, I'm going to make this work. That's perfect.So what is another secret you believe contributes most to your success?be nice to people and don't be a terrible human. Be kind always to have Every single person that you meet I'm serious, like, people underestimate just being a good human.Yeah, I agree. AndI believeI'm a good human. I'm super direct and sometimes not a lot of tact, but it's from a sincere place of love.And 100% of people come to come to me for tough love all the time. I'm like, I love you. But that is the worst decision you're ever going to make if you do the thing. Yeah,yeah. Being Human means good intentions for humans. Not necessarily. Everybody likes you. So just to get there. What are two or three books you'd recommend to fuel your legacy audience?Oh, I don't know. Position me by Jimena. Ashley is a pretty great book. Gary Vaynerchuk crushing. It was great. You want to do comedy raid bossy pants. Tina Fey particularly for women out there. I'd also say yes plays by Amy Poehler. And those five-second rule Mel Robbins. Awesome.Okay, here's my favorite question. It's getting close to the end here. This is the question that I believe has to be at the bedrock foundation of everything people do in life, I have my questions. I have my clients answer it and my business partners answer everybody thatI work with you.In my sphere of influence, I want to know the answer to this question. And more importantly, I want them to know the answer to this question because I know the answer to my question, but it matters what the answer to their question is.

And he's like, Well, you know, it's not like you're going to change anything significant in your lifetime. And I was like, the changes that I make, and the things I'm able to change will change it for women in the future. Much like the women who came before me, have changed it for me. My grandmother was not allowed to art. She wasn't allowed to vote. So when people say to me, I don't care. I'm like, What is wrong with you? Women gave them what like literally was shot and killed for these rights around the world. There are countries now that we don't have the right to do that. This isn't as much as this is about me. And what I'm trying to achieve. This is equally not about me in any way, shape, or form.

"Honey, female entrepreneurs aren't a real thing. They don't make any money." The older businessman -- seated across the small mastermind table from us -- dismissed all women in one curt sentence. The problem, however, is that statistics actually support this statement... [watch video below to learn more and hear the rest of the story!] Globally, 97% of female start-ups fail in the first 5 years -- 2x our male counterparts. Why is this the case? • Women complete 2.6x more unpaid work than men do. Shopping for food, preparing meals, cleaning, washing clothes, collecting water, looking after children, family members, and those with disabilities -- this unpaid work falls mostly on women. (Source: United Nations & Newsweek, 2018) • Women are less likely to get funding. Just 2.2% of all venture capital in the U.S. goes to companies founded solely by women. Companies with all-male founders receive funding after their first-round close to 35% of the time, but this is less than 2% for companies with female founders. (Source: Market Watch, 2019) "The SME (small and medium-sized enterprises) finance gap for female entrepreneurs in developing countries at $1.48 trillion." (Source: IFC.org) • Women face greater obstacles in many parts of the world. In over 33% of economies, women do not have the same legal rights as men in freedom of movement and other areas. In some countries, women cannot register a business, sign a contract, or open a bank account. (Source: IFC.org) "1 in 5 women and girls have experienced physical and/or sexual violence by an intimate partner with the last 12 months. Yet, 49 countries have no laws that specifically protect women from such violence." (Source: UN.org ) • Female-led businesses get less publicity and media attention. "When the focus is the economy, only 5% of news stories feature or center on women." "Only 26% of total news coverage in newspapers, radio and television combined [online it's 24%] featured women in 2015." (Source: Report by The Global Media Monitoring Project, 2015) • Women need more access to mentors and peer-to-peer support. "48% female founders cite a lack of available mentors or advisers as holding them back." (Source: Inc, 2015) [A Photo from Our First Meeting in 2018! #GirlPower] *Older businessman not pictured. Our Goal: Reduce the failure rate for female businesses by 50% before the year 2030 How? A lot needs to change. We know we can't tackle it all.

Show Notes EPISODE 11 – RUNNING A COMPETITION ON SOCIAL MEDIA (& BEYOND). Hey hey welcome! Welcome to episode legs 11 of the Small Business Made Simple Podcast. Thank you for joining me again for this episode. This week’s topic is a bit timely in that I am having discussions with clients and prospects almost daily at the moment on this topic! Facebook Competitions! At the time of recording this, it’s coming up to Easter and who doesn’t want to win Easter eggs! But every time I talk about the rules and regulations of running competitions on social media, almost everyone wants to argue with me and say, “but everyone else does it….”. To which I sound exactly like my Mum, shout out to Ida, “if everyone jumped off a bridge would you …” – oh that’s such a mum thing to say isn’t it! But people don’t know the rules and loads and loads of you break them especially when running a Facebook competition. Facebook is very open and clear about their rules and we all ticked that box when we signed up to say we would follow them, but we don’t! Mainly because we don’t know them! So today we are going deep with online competitions (with some offline thrown in for good measure!). But first, our discovery of the week. THIS WEEK’S DISCOVERY! If you’ve ever need to read a script for a video, a Facebook or Insta live or piece of audio like this, then you might have wished for a teleprompter. A teleprompter is of course the thing you use to put your script into and read it like the news people do on TV. But a good teleprompter is hard to find and a good FREE one even harder! This week’s discovery is the best teleprompter I have found and it’s FREE! And oh, so simple to use too! You can find it (but you need to use your Chrome browser) at https://teleprompt.me/ - the link is in the show notes of course. Why do I love this one more than the others, because it will darken the words as you’ve said them! No kidding! Just make sure you allow it to connect to your computer’s microphone. To use it simply cut and paste your script into the box in the top right-hand corner, press tab (to make it go onto the big screen) choose your colour and your font size – make sure it’s connected to the computer’s microphone – and start speaking. It will go the speed you speak! For those of you who listened into Episode 6 with Jemimah Ashleigh where we were speaking about live video and how most people have a script – well for recorded videos this teleprompter will be your saving grace! It’s awesome. It’s free and it’s this week’s discovery of the week! Enjoy. Remember, if you have a discovery, you’d like me to share with everyone, please tag me on social using my handle @smallbusinessmadesimple – I’d love to hear about it! RUNNING A COMPETITION ON SOCIAL MEDIA (& BEYOND) So, into this week’s topic – running competitions on social media! Now, straight off the bat I want to qualify this episode, having spent many years in law, I can’t continue without qualifying the information in this episode. Firstly, we all know that the social media can change overnight yes? So as much as the information in this podcast is current at the time of recording, March 2019, and most of it is general information, whenever I talk about the rules of Facebook or Instagram competitions or your local state laws, I highly encourage you to check out my show notes at www.socialmediaandmarketing.com.au and go to the links I mention below for Facebook and Instagram rules. Because the rules might change after recording this, but the links won’t! So, before you go running a competition based on the rules I talk about in this episode, please check them out and make sure they haven’t changed again! Ok, now that’s done. I feel better now, I’d hate for you to do something you thought was within the rules and the rules have changed and it’s not any longer … Link to Facebook rules and regulations: https://www.facebook.com/business/news/page-promotions-terms Link to Instagram rules and regulations: https://help.instagram.com/179379842258600 So, let’s get in to how to run a super freaking good competition on social. Step 1: Start with the end in mind Your first step is figuring out why you want to run it – what’s the end goal or my favourite saying, “start with the end in mind”. If you can start with the end in mind, all the planning will be much easier, simpler and smoother, that I guarantee! So, decide what’s the goal for the competition. Is it too: Increase Facebook page likes Increase Instagram followers Reward customers/clients Create brand awareness Boost low sales Collect user generated content Get feedback or conduct research Increase page engagement Step 2: Decide on the type of competition Once you have the goal in mind, you know exactly what you want from the competition, the next step is the type of competition you’d like to run. Competitions are run all the time on social media, you’ve probably entered loads yourself. So have a think, which ones engaged you, which ones have worked really well for your competitors or failed. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box here – what’s something different you can do to stand out from the crowd? Some suggestions of types of competitions might be Like/follow to win - increase followers. Create a survey and offer prize for completing - getting feedback/doing research. Get customers to submit photos of them using your product and award prize to best submission - generate content. Tag and share - (NOT ALLOWED on Facebook, allowed on Instagram – must be a photo they are actually in though – you can’t ask someone to tag themselves on Instagram in a photo they aren’t in) Tag friends - (NOT ALLOWED on Facebook, allowed on Instagram) So basically, it’s against Facebook rules to ask someone to Share one of your posts Post on a friend’s timeline Tag people in posts Change their cover photo So, what can you do ask them to do: Post on your timeline Message your page Check in at a location Visit a Facebook page (and optionally like it) View a Facebook post Select one of their photos from Facebook Every time I stand on stage and talk about this, people are up in arms. But everyone asks people to like, tag and share. And YES, they do, but it IS against Facebook rules and you are breaking them. You are taking the risk of getting shut down if you break the rules. Simple as that. Sorry! I will add though that to the best of knowledge there is no one sitting in Facebook land looking for rule breakers. You are much more likely to be dobed in by another Facebook user – maybe a Facebook user who has been wronged in the past – (not by you necessarily but by another user or Facebook) so just be aware of that. Step 3: Decide on your target audience So, let’s move right on from that, Step 3 is choosing your target audience. Who do you want to target with your competition – keep in mind your end goal – if you want, for instance, to get more brand awareness from the competition – then who do you target with that? Hint your target audience for the competition should also be your target audience in general business! Makes sense yes!! Step 4: The Prize Ok, now the fun bit! The prize! What are you going to give away? Some of you might already have the prize – that might be exactly why you want to run a competition, because you’ve landed an awesome prize! But if you don’t ready have a prize in mind you need to decide on a prize that would appeal to your target market and either purchase the prize or organise the prize if it’s a holiday or something like that. For people entering the competition, it’s going to be about the prize. They want that prize! So, thinking about what your target market might want – that’s the prize you need. You want to give this away and reach your objective that we set in Step 1 – so you want to get as qualified a lead as you can. Step 5: All the legal bits Whether you’re on Facebook or Instagram doing this competition or other platforms or through you shop front – there’s got to be terms and conditions. Here’s a run down on the rules for Instagram and Facebook Instagram Acknowledge that your Instagram contest or giveaway is not sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with Instagram Include the name of the company hosting the Instagram giveaway or contest Include the dates the campaign will run, including time zone Include participation restrictions — such as age and location Write clear guidelines on how to enter Outline how and when the winner(s) will be chosen Share details about how and when the winner(s) will be announced and how/when winner should claim prize Disclose details about how the prize will be delivered, including whether the recipient is responsible for delivery (shipping costs) or pick-up And for Facebook all the above and again a complete release of Facebook by each entrant or participant; and acknowledgement that the promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by or associated with Facebook. Things you need to also put in the terms and conditions are Who can enter How they enter The prize (and that it isn’t redeemable for cash) The drawing date and process A liability release as I spoke about before – saying it’s not sponsored by Instagram or Facebook etc Your details as the promoter Decide whether your competition will be a game of skill (does not require a license) or a game of chance (may require a license if it is open to NSW entrants regardless of value, ACT if over $3k and NT and SA if over $5k). Purchase license/s if required. Remember to allow time for it to be processed and granted. If you're running your promotion on your Facebook timeline it's a good idea to put together a landing page with all of your terms and conditions, as well as any additional information about your contest. This will save you from having to include too much dense content in your contest post. Step 6: Content creation – how you are going to SELL your competition You need to create some engaging content for your competition, so it reaches the goals you have set for it! It’s coming up to Easter at the time of this recording and so many small business owners decide to run Easter Competitions in stores or online. Whether it’s an Easter competition or a holiday one or whatever, you still need to come up with an engaging tagline or message and create some copy around it – making sure you include the legal terms and conditions we chatted about in Step 5! Other than a great tag line/message you’ll need to create stand out images to post on social media (DO NOT use stock images they are overused and not great for your brand identity). Get creative with your copy. Have coming soon posts/images/videos, countdown to launch posts/images/videos, reminder posts that competition is live, paid advertising images/videos, countdown to close posts/images/videos, Thank you posts and competition closed post The more effort and energy you put into this competition the more leads you’ll get with more prospects that you’ll be able to nurture until they are ready to buy from you! As I’m such an advocate for list building, I highly, highly recommend that you build a landing page in like say Mail Chimp or Leadpages and point people over there to enter the competition. I think the biggest goal for running a competition should be to take your audience off line – so gather email addresses – so you can have conversations with them at a later date offline. Yes, not as many people will enter but you will get much more qualified entries than a free for all on social. I’ve seen them work very successfully and again as an email marketing lover, I would highly recommend this process. If you’re not sure about list building and email marketing, I suggest you go back and listen to Episodes 9 & 10 of this podcast, they are all about list building and email marketing! Step 7: Timing Now it’s time to decide on a launch date, get a promotion timeline going and closing dates. And of course, the date for drawing the prize! The important bit! YAY! How long your competition should be really depend on Step 1 – what’s the goal? Or perhaps even be time sensitive like an Easter or Christmas competition or a holiday giveaway. If you have a goal of wanting 100 new likes to your page or gather 100 email addresses – then think logically how long, it will take for that to happen? Competitions, done well, can be amazing but can be a lot of work and energy. So, the reward for running them should reflect that. There’s no science to how long a competition should be, but you do need to keep in mind your end goal, the quality of the prize and any time sensitive issues, and your target audience. Step 8: Promotion Hooley Dooly now it’s time to promote it! Here’s some tips for promotion: On your website Add a banner to site or a link to your landing page Write a blog post to tell people about your competition – repurpose that blog everywhere! On social media Update your Facebook page pinned post/announcements Update your Facebook cover photo Update your call to action button Create some awesome graphics to promote competition (less than 20% text if going to be used in ads) publish a note use stories – video, live video, posts use social media groups to tell them about your competition update your bio on Instagram Update your link in Instagram Arrange for influencers to repost Request that friends in similar businesses within niche repost/promote Do some paid advertising if you have a budget for that In store posters and banners in your windows and at your counter Display the prize if possible You could take photos of people physically entering and post that on social as part of your marketing mix! It might be suitable to use print media or radio advertising for your competition – dependant on your budget and your target market of course! Don’t forget to use your email list and tell them about your competition too or use direct messaging or DMs to spread the word! Step 9: Drawing the prize and picking the winner Winner, winner chicken dinner! This is the best part! I love, love, love drawing prizes. It makes my little heart sing seeing the delight people get from winning! Build up to the draw. If say it’s going to happen at 5 pm - spend the day pumping it on social media – especially through stories, build the momentum! You’ll get lots of last-minute entries that way too! I would HIGHLY recommend you draw the prize live. For lots of reasons, including legitimacy – but also marketing wise! Of course, you need to notify the winner and deliver the prize! Make sure you always ask the winner for a photo, a quote and/or a testimonial you can use on your social. Tag them in any and all posts – if they have a big audience it’s a great way to getting some new engagement and perhaps likes and followers! Step 10: The next bit Now you might be thinking, it’s over, done – competition drawn, winner announced, done. BUT NO! So many people forget the gold that they can still get from the competition. Yes, there’s only 1 winner of the prize but consider offering everyone who entered something – perhaps a discount to a product or service. Write to everyone who entered, telling them who won, perhaps put the photo and/or testimony from the winner in the email – make it personal, make them feel like they mattered too! If your prize was a weekend away, then consider offering everyone else a discount to book or a free bottle of local wine on arrival or a free late checkout – think outside the square – make it valuable to them. The idea here is to offer value to them, make them feel valued, and to give yourself another excuse to start a conversation with them. They may not have won, but they are still important to your business! Step 11: The Analysis So, you’ve made it to step 11. Competitions are marketing and marketing is all about testing and measuring. So, make sure you take some time to gather your data and see if you’re reached the goal you set in Step 1. Finally, give yourself a HIGH FIVE and start planning your next piece of marketing because we are ALWAYS marketing! Feeeew … that’s was a lot to take in yes! I thought so too. So, to help with your next competition, I’ve made a checklist. Seriously, who doesn’t love a good checklist! So, to get all these things in a quick, concise checklist, head to www.socialmediaandmarketing.com.au/checklist and download it from there! So that’s it for Episode 11. I hope I have not only inspired you to run a competition but also help you understand your obligations in doing so. So, the 72-hour rule. I forgot to do that last week! For those who aren’t sure – the 72-hour rule is what are you going to do in the 72 hours to move you towards your goal. I always use it from stage and thought I should enact it here on my podcast for my podcast family too. So, if the goal is to run a competition soon, what are you doing to commit to doing, in the next 72 hours, to help you get it from an idea to a reality? Write it down or to be held accountable, put it in social and tag @smallbusinessmadesimple! I’ll be back next Thursday with some more marketing know-how and another discovery. If you’re liking the podcast – please head over to where you listen and leave a rating and even a review – those things are GOLD for podcasters like me! I’ll be eternally grateful, and it helps others find this podcast and enjoy the free training, tips and tricks too. It could be the best gift you give them! I am very grateful to have you as part of my world, listening in, but I’d also love to catch up between podcasts – and get social on social – all the links are in my show notes. If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to leave me a DM on Instagram! The DMs seriously make my day! Catch you next week, go check out Leadpages from our discovery of the week, …... …….. and remember small business peeps, as my opening song says, there’s no point in dreaming small!

Position Yourself For Maximum Visibility & Success Who is Jemimah Ashleigh? Jemimah Ashleigh is an expert at positioning brands to shine online. She provides coaching, mastermind programs, and trainings to help entrepreneurs and small businesses best position themselves to be seen as the experts they are. She recently published her book “Position Me,” and is a leading podcaster and marketing expert in Australia. Golden Nuggets From Our Conversation: “Success is not finite. We’ve bought into this idea that we’re in competition with everybody and it’s simply not true.” Make a mindset shift that you aren’t in competition with anyone else. Bring gratitude for what we have first as you grow your business. We can’t change things unless we do the work. Have less arguments, and just go out and do your job. “The more time I spend fighting with someone about how I have equal value to them professionally, the less time I have to work on my business.” You don’t have to justify yourself to anyone. Go prove them wrong instead; that’s the sweetest revenge. “Just do the work.” When they tell you that you can’t do something, go do it twice and take photos. Be careful who you allow yourself to listen to. “Building online authority isn’t difficult, but you have to be super consistent.” Host a podcast. Write a blog. Create videos. Do as many interviews as you can. Any opportunity you have to speak on stage gives you instant authority. All of these things help build you authority with your audience. Authority building is in many ways a numbers game. “Your network will be your net worth.” Answer questions your audience is actually asking. This is a great way to create content. If you are the best at your specialty, you should never have to literally say that. It should be implied by the work you produce. Release new content every single day. There’s never been such an amazing time in history where you can learn and share knowledge over the Internet. Recommended Links: JemimahAshleigh.com Position Me Book

Welcome to a very special edition of Level Up Podcast, with your hosts Jemimah Ashleigh and Tim Hyde. Jemimah is fresh back from an international speaking gig in the USA and they are joined today by Nick Johnson, the founder of Nimic Productions who you might recognise as the sponsor of Level Up Podcast, and where Jemimah and Tim record the show. Nick shares how he began Nimic Productions with his best friend from University, Mic, including how he and his business partner custom built their studios in Canberra and Sydney, and how their builders took so long to finish construction they had the manually lay a large floor over three days, non-stop. Nick shares the hurdles he’s overcome in building his business, including overspending on construction and how they were impacted by the GFC, and how that created a lasting change to how they do business today, as well as their achievements including being on The Gruen Transfer with Wil Anderson (available in ABC shops and ABC iview). TOP 5 LESSONS Have strong payment terms in your business. Diversify in the type of clients you can serve, so you’re not relying just on one industry. Hire someone to do things that you’re not good at or enjoy in your business so you can do the things you’re actually good at. You’re only as good as the last thing you accomplished. Have and build your resilience. QUOTES “All the domains were taken. One day we were just messing around mixing our names together and decided that yep, that would do.” -Nick “The barrier to entry back then was quite different and much higher.” -Nick “When it’s your baby, your business…it’s really hard to give it up.” -Nick “Giving parts of your business to someone else who may or may not be as good at it as you, frees you up to do what you’re really good at.” -Tim Connect with Nick from Nimic Productions here: www.nimic.com.au Connect with Jemimah and Tim on Facebook here: www.facebook.com/leveluppodcast Connect with Jemimah here: www.facebook.com/jemimahashleighau www.jemimahashleigh.com www.instagram.com/jemimahashleigh Connect with Tim here: www.facebook.com/winmoreclients www.winmoreclients.com.au www.instagram.com/winmoreclients
Tim and Jemimah are back with another episode of Level Up Podcast, today talking all about on of the biggest mistakes business owners make: not valuing their time enough. So why are coffee meeting so dangerous, when do you cancel them and when do you attend them? Jemimah and Tim are here to guide us through this minefield. Pick a good place Set a time frame Know your worth. Jemimah shares a powerful story with us about the minute she decided she would no longer do coffee meetings – and how its changed the way she operates in business, and Tim shares his thoughts on travelling to meet people, and considering your return on investment. Tim and Jemimah want to hear from you – what are your experiences with coffee meetings? Share the good, the bad, the terrible and the wonderful by getting in touch on the links below! TOP 5 LESSONS You have to pick a good place to have your café meeting – with good and healthy food. If you’re meeting people regularly, you need to look after your health. Set a time limit and stick to it. If the other person wants to run over that and does not respect your time, it says more about them than you. Set an agenda and play the game of “What’s the Deal?” – then you know why you’re meeting and that will change the conversation. Consider your return on investment and establish the expectations of the meeting upfront. You have to value your own time and worth even if others don’t. QUOTES “I’m a coffee bandit.” Jemimah “We do free things all the time, we have to value our time. Your giving so much away for free and buying your own coffee.” -Jemimah “There are two types of people. The Done For Yous and the DIY’ers.” - Tim “Sometimes a coffee meeting is necessary to build a relationship with someone.” -Jemimah “I’ve converted my coffee chats to Skype or Zoom. Having a clear agenda means I can bang out three meetings an hour rather than one every two hours.” -Tim “If the conversation is going really well, be cognizant of the time frame set. It goes a long way.” -Tim Connect with Jemimah and Tim on Facebook here: www.facebook.com/leveluppodcast Connect with Jemimah here: www.facebook.com/jemimahashleighau www.jemimahashleigh.com www.instagram.com/jemimahashleigh Connect with Tim here: www.facebook.com/winmoreclients www.winmoreclients.com.au www.instagram.com/winmoreclients
Welcome to episode 7 of the Level Up Podcast with your hosts Jemimah Ashleigh and Tim Hyde. Today Jemimah and Tim sit down to talk about the tough topic of accountability. Tim shares his top 5 tips on accountability for entrepreneurs: Finding an Accountability Buddy Rewarding yourself when you achieve your goals Writing your goals down Putting it out there publicly Identifying your WHY Tim and Jemimah share stories from their friends, and clients with common things that arise with being accountable from their mutual friend Jarod who declared he would complete a Ninja Warrior course in 12 months, to different ways their clients keep themselves accountable and common pitfalls. QUOTES “If we gave your 12-year-old kid all the lollies in the house with no accountability, what’s going to happen?” Jemimah “It’s not just business goals. Its relationship goals, health goals, mental health goals… write them down and be accountable to yourself.” -Jemimah “If we know WHY we’re doing something – it’s not so important when things are going well, but when we face some adversity its really important to keep us going.” -Tim “If your WHY is money, go for it!” -Tim Connect with Jemimah and Tim on Facebook here: www.facebook.com/leveluppodcast Connect with Jemimah here: www.facebook.com/jemimahashleighau www.jemimahashleigh.com www.instagram.com/jemimahashleigh Connect with Tim here: www.facebook.com/winmoreclients www.winmoreclients.com.au www.instagram.com/winmoreclients
Welcome to episode 6 of the Level Up Podcast with Jemimah Ashleigh and Tim Hyde, this week talking about “The Sum of 5 People”. First coined by the man who trained Tony Robbins, Jim Rohn, the saying goes “You are the Sum of the 5 People You Spend the Most Time With”. So, when was the last time you thought about the five people you spend the most time with, and the influence they have on your life? This is one of Jemimah’s favourite topics to talk about, and you’ll hear through the episode tips and tricks for identifying who your sum of 5 are now, and how to change them – and to perfectly illustrate the impact these people have on your life and business, Jemimah and Tim refer to a study right of Stanford University, USA. So who are the five people that you admire and spend the most time in your business and life? What qualities do they possess that you like or don’t like? What lessons can we learn from celebrities like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Will Smith? This episode will challenge you to evaluate the people you surround yourself, and ask you to decide – are these people who fan your flames or are they bringing you down? TOP 5 LESSONS Your sum of 5 people do not need to be people you spend physical time with. You can spend time with them on their blog, on a podcast or a video, or with books. You’ll naturally attract your sum of 5 people initially without realizing. Be honest about the influential people in your life – and clearly identify where you are and where you aspire to be. Ensure your sum of 5 people matches what you want. It doesn’t need to be complicated. You just need to start. QUOTES “You won’t spend physical time with them, you spend time with their ideas in books and podcasts.” “Don’t lie to yourself. There’s a lot of people playing too small because their too scared to try.” “This will help you determine who you spend your time with.” “There is no accidental success.” “It doesn’t have to be congruent right now. Now, you’re awake and you can make some changes.” MENTIONED LINKS Connect with Jemimah and Tim on Facebook here: www.facebook.com/leveluppodcast www.leveluppodcast.com.au Connect with Jemimah here: www.facebook.com/jemimahashleighau www.jemimahashleigh.com www.instagram.com/jemimahashleigh Connect with Tim here: www.facebook.com/winmoreclients www.winmoreclients.com.au www.instagram.com/winmoreclients
Welcome to episode 5 of the Level Up Podcast, with Jemimah Ashleigh and Tim Hyde – this week on the show, Jemimah and Tim share their take on Matt Alderton’s tips for successful networking! You might remember Matt from episode 4 – he’s the owner of Bx Networking and in episode 4 gave incredible insight into getting great Return on Effort when it comes to networking. So, what do Tim and Jemimah have to add? Listen to the full episode for their tips on: Being congruent, looking and feeling the part Not being exclusive to just one networking group Going big and building friendships Tim’s ABC Network “Tight Butt Syndrome” You’ll also hear how Jemimah and Tim first met, and how being in the room translates to real dollar figures in your business and real opportunities, as well as networking horror-stories of what not to do. TOP 5 LEVEL UP TIPS Dress appropriately and make an effort with your appearance – be congruent and authentic with who you are and your business. Do not try to make a sale in the room. That is not the primary reason for being there. Sell to other people’s networks, not the people in the room. You have to get out of pyjamas and get in the room, and let some magic happen! Have your business cards ready – avoid writing on napkins! Networking works when you make the effort in growing and nurturing friendships – build your know, like and trust factor. QUOTES “A transaction mindset is exhausting for you and everyone around you.” “Opportunities seized, is opportunities multiplied.” “The things that we do make our success, and success is not an accident. There is no room for luck here.” “Be specific about who you want to connect with – saying you want just small business owners doesn’t help. Be more specific.” MENTIONED LINKS Connect with Jemimah and Tim on Facebook here: www.facebook.com/leveluppodcast Connect with Jemimah here: www.facebook.com/jemimahashleighau www.jemimahashleigh.com www.instagram.com/jemimahashleigh Connect with Tim here: www.facebook.com/winmoreclients www.winmoreclients.com.au
Welcome to episode 004 of the Level Up Podcast with Tim Hyde and Jemimah Ashleigh. Today Jemimah and Tim are joined in the studio by #1 best-selling author, speaker and award-winning entrepreneur Matt Allerton from BX Networking. Matt was named the 2015 Business Person of the Year and 2016 Business Leader in the New South Wales Business Chamber Awards and is here on Level Up to talk about Networking. So how do you go from working in retail to owning a successful networking and events business? Matt realized through his work with retailers, that small business owners are hugely under-resourced and need more support to succeed – with 60% of small business owners paying themselves less than the minimum wage, leading to tax debt and other debts, flowing on creating huge problems in the Australian economy. Listen to the full episode to hear Matt’s five tips for better Return on investment with Networking, including: Getting your pitch right (and how not to pitch) and have a thorough understanding of your ideal client or referral partner Showing up and being in the room and The Three B’s Spreading yourself through different networking groups You are the sum of the 6 people around you Being authentic and genuine TOP 5 TAKE AWAYS The most successful entrepreneurs say no more often than they say yes. Networking makes you step up your game, and will change your business and life. You’re not selling to the people in the room. You’re selling to the network of people connected to everyone in the room. Talk about something positive. How are you going to sell from a place of negativity? Give people a way to open a conversation with others they know, about what you do. Creating and nurturing relationships, on time, is a representation of how you do business. QUOTES “Networking has changed the face of my entire business in every way.” “It can be lonely having a growing business. Even if you have 5 or 6 staff, you might be friendly with them, but they aren’t your friends. That’s why networking is so valuable.” “If you cast your net so wide when you pitch in the room, nobody can help you connect with anyone in their network.” “If you’re sloppy with your 40 seconds, you don’t have business cards, you turn up late – no one is going want to know, like or trust you with their business, or refer you.” “Desperation is transparent in people.” “No one gives a referral, if nobody gets a referral.” Mentioned Links: Connect with Jemimah and Tim on Facebook here: www.facebook.com/leveluppodcast Connect with Jemimah here: www.facebook.com/jemimahashleighau www.jemimahashleigh.com www.instagram.com/jemimahashleigh Connect with Tim here: www.facebook.com/winmoreclients www.winmoreclients.com.au www.instagram.com/winmoreclients Connect with Matt here: https://bxbusinessnetworking.com.au/
Welcome to Level Up with Jemimah Ashleigh, and Tim Hyde! Today, we’re exploring what the many levels of business, really are. So, what are the levels? There are many different definitions – and it can be confusing – especially when you hear about things like Small Business Tax Cuts, or how the Government defines small and medium business. So today, Jemimah and Tim are outlining their seven levels of business – what they are, and the hallmarks and challenges of each. So, let’s dive in to the levels… Level Zero The Business Intenders, or Wantrepreneurs. The people who are thinking about business and are normally in a job with a secure consistent income as a safety net. Everybody starts their business journey from here, even seasoned business owners. The biggest challenge here is around taking action and starting. Level One You probably still have a day job, but your business has started and you’re doing everything yourself – from delivery of products and services to the books and marketing. You’re spreading dollars out as much as possible, and DIY’ing just about everything from business cards on Vistaprint, to website design. The challenge here is investing what resources you have, in a professional to get the job done. Level Two This is when your business has become your day job – the security and safety net of a job has gone. The best part of being at Level Two are the leave provisions you get from being your own boss… but your sick leave provisions leave much to be desired. This is where you’ll notice patterns in your marketing too – times of boom and bust, going from doing what you need to bring in the clients, focus on delivering for those clients, and then realizing there are no more new clients and the cycle repeats itself. Level Three At this level, you’re more concerned with implementing the systems that will deliver leads consistently and shorten the process for delivering your products or services. This is also the level at which you begin to take ownership and responsibility for things that would normally be taken care of in a day job – things like sick leave, superannuation, maternity/paternity leave, and…taxes. This is the level at which many Coaches and Consultants tap out, and also begin to build a team and recognise where they add the most value to their business. The challenge here is letting go! Level Four At level four, you’re beginning to involve staff in key functions of your business. More tasks are outsourced to experts, and you’re beginning to pay yourself an actual wage, consistency, with money left over for a rainy day (it’s a real thing!) The challenge here is hiring the right people for the right jobs. Level Five You’re no longer doing much of the work in your business, and you won’t know clients by name anymore or know where they are in your funnel. Your finger will no longer be on the pulse of everything – if you can here, stop and hire a manager – at this level your most likely to become a bottle neck in your own business. The challenges here continue to be around team building – hiring slowly, firing fast, and creating the right culture in your business. Level Six This is an unusual space to find many coaches or consultants – it tends to be filled with manufacturers or product based business. At this level, you’re now a manager in your business and your time will be spent managing staff, and your business will be on value based pricing dealing with bigger and bigger contracts. The interesting thing here is you are more likely to not know who all your staff are, and they won’t necessarily know you either. Level Seven At this level, you’re more concerned with key performance indicators and your managing millions of dollars in budgets annually, as opposed to a $20 Facebook ad and hoping to get a single sale. You also have staff on leave frequently, and there will always be a birthday cake somewhere. TOP 5 LEVEL UP TAKE AWAYS Be willing to take action. Invest, where possible, in a professional to help you - you’ll save time and make money. Systems are the cornerstone for your business to level up. You cannot scale your business, if you’re doing everything. It is OK if you want to be at level seven, or three, or five. It’s OK to be wherever you want to be. QUOTES “We have to know where we are in business, and where we want to go.” “The difference between someone who is successful and someone who is not successful at any level of business, is someone’s willingness to act.” “It’s very easy to lose sight of how much farther ahead we would be, if we paid for a professional to do a job for us. “ “My job is to get good people on board, and then get out of their way and let them do their job.” “Hire slowly, fire quickly.” “How much are you outsourcing and leveraging?” “It’s amazing how much harder you work when you have no safety net.” FIND US HERE Connect with Jemimah and Tim on Facebook here: www.facebook.com/leveluppodcast https://www.facebook.com/groups/leveluppodcast/ Connect with Jemimah here: www.facebook.com/jemimahashleighau www.jemimahashleigh.com www.instagram.com/jemimahashleigh Connect with Tim here: www.facebook.com/winmoreclients www.winmoreclients.com.au www.instagram.com/winmoreclients
Welcome to the very first episode of Level Up Podcast, with Jemimah Ashleigh and Tim Hyde! After wrapping up separate shows themselves, Jemimah and Tim decided to start a Podcast together – over a few wines. Jemimah began her entrepreneurial adventure while working in Law Enforcement, after a chance encounter with a silversmith in New York City, inspiring her to create her bespoke jewellery business, Tangs Design. Since then, she has grown three successful businesses and is now a consultant and positioning expert. Tim started his first business as a six-year-old, including beginning a family circus charging 20c admission – and spending his profits on mixed lollies. He went on to work in the public service sector, beginning a side-hustle website called The Riot Act with over 18 million-page views per year, and many law suits (no big deal, right?) On this podcast, Jemimah and Tim will be sharing their knowledge and experiences in levelling up their businesses and chatting with experts, exploring how businesses grow with masterclasses and teaching practical skills – not just identifying problems and issues, but blending strategies and practical skills to support you to level up your business. LEVEL UP TAKE AWAYS It is never too late to start your own business, whether your four, forty or eighty-four. If you find yourself going brain-dead in your current occupation, you can start your own business and be successful. Not everybody wants to be building up to the next BHP Billiton level, or Tony Robbins. Resilience is an important part of being an entrepreneur – you will constantly be trying and testing things out and seeing what works. There is not a big difference between a commercial organisation or not-for-profit in how they operate. They all have a product or service to sell, to attract time money and resources. Don’t swim around in large piles of money like Scrooge McDuck. Metal is hard, it will hurt. QUOTES “What is it that takes us as entrepreneurs, to the next level?” - Jemimah “There’s a misconception about the things we do, that it’s a one-size fits all approach.” - Tim
Welcome to episode three of the Level Up Podcast, with Jemimah Ashleigh and Tim Hyde! In this episode Jemimah and Tim explore the concept of what they wished they knew at the beginning of their entrepreneurial adventures – would they listen to themselves? What advice would they give to their five-years-ago selves?

When I first spoke with her, I couldn’t believe how much today’s guest has already experienced and achieved. She worked for the Australian Federal Police as a criminal intelligence analyst, is one of Australia’s Top 10 Female Entrepreneurs, she is an improvisor, a comedy writer, a speaker, and a soon to be author. Jemimah Ashleigh has always been a high performer, though it was in 2015 while driving her car that a frightening experience taught her a powerful lesson for achieving higher levels of success and overcoming life's obstacles. In today's episode, I chat with Jemimah as she shares how high performers can achieve even more with some extra self care. Here are the main points from their chat: Jemimah worked in law enforcement for 10 years and studied a Bachelor of Science majoring in national security. This lead to work in prisons and eventually the Australian Federal Police. After 10 years she felt stressed and burnt out after finding the job wasn't exactly what Jemimah thought it would be. “What people don't tell you about law enforcement is no one is ever having a good day” Being a type A person (extremely driven) Jemimah found her self either putting 100% effort into something or nothing at all, saying she goes with her gut and goes where she needs to be. Jemimah considered law enforcement her dream job, but found she was always dealing with someone who had committed an offence which were mostly quite horrible for the victim. Dealing with this is an extremely stressful job, and not being able to talk about these incidents with family or friends added a level of secrecy and burden. Jemimah found that there was no decompression time between work and her personal life. For a long time she didn't realise the issues she was dealing with, just believing it was a part of the job, especially when she was surrounded by people up to forty hours a week experiencing the same things. The shift came when Jemimah started improvisation and comedy classes, where the line became very clear. In 2015 Jemimah had been working overseas and had the opportunity to move to Manhattan in New York, and met a silversmith, watching and learning how to work with metal and jewellery. Whilst driving in 2015, Jemimah had a major panic attack, the first time she had ever encounter any form of mental illness. This was a big step up from any form of nervousness she had ever encountered. She struggled to do every day actions due to anxiety, even becoming unable to get to work. Jemimah says that education is most important when it comes to mental illness. She sought medical help straight away and saw a psychologist and psychiatrist who helped her get a better understanding of what was happening. As anxiety and depression go hand in hand, Jemimah was constantly being hit by this wave of emotions. After getting medication, life became much better in a matter of days which resulted in Jemimah being able to return to some aspects of her life without the anxiety. Jemimah started using meditation and physical activities such as running to release her “Stress Bucket” The combination of exercise, meditation and medication helped start the healing process. After working extremely hard to achieve her dream job and asking herself if she was really happy with it, Jemimah said that “our dream job is our goal and once we get the goal what happens next?” After researching cortisole, Jemimah developed many different healthy habits and discovered different foods can help deal with stress and help heal your body. Jemimah says for self care to be effective, all it takes is an hour a day, only four percent of the day, Self care is never selfish, you are actually doing it for your job and for your family. Self care can be just checking in with yourself throughout the day and can look different from person to person and it only needs to be about finding a balance. Its the fun and addiction of a positive lifestyle and breaking in that new healthy habit. Self care is not about what our body looks like or what size of pants you wear. It’s about living a positive lifestyle and being the best version of you that you can be. Working currently as an entrepreneur, Jemimah says that it is not as glamorous as everyone thinks. Working up to eighteen hour days, there are so many exit doors with ups and downs at every turn. Jemimah sees her morning routine of exercise as the start of her working day. Jemimah is releasing her book in April, and hopes to be mentioned on the Australian Entrepreneur mixed list and hopes to build better entrepreneurs, releasing her own podcast series. Jemimah’s challenge for this week is firstly to have a think about what you love doing. It doesn't have to be running or meditation, it could be anything from joining an art class to having a dance by yourself at home! It’s about finding your own release that is not career focused or family focused just you focused. “Find something that you love in your life that is just for you.” You can find Jemimah Ashleigh at www.jemimahashleigh.com.au Follow us at facebook.com/projecthatch and Instagram at @project_hatch.
