Jade's take on creating 6 weeks/90 day business plan30:55 - The importance of “Filling Your Cup” and why you have to slow down to speed upKey Takeaways & QuotesCreate an ideal week plan that structures a way so you can get into deep work, and cultivate your flow states without forgetting what is important. “Fill in your cup so you can serve from overflow”Write down all what you need to do and figure out what needs to be kept, deleted, or delegated. “Only do what only you can do” Have daily routines to switch on and switch off to be able to regenerate and come back and do it all over again the next day. Prepare a morning routine that will help you move into the day with a high spirit and end your day with a routine that will help you disconnect and recharge for the next day with more success.“If I don't own the day, the day owns me”Create a “90 day plan” to break big projects and goals into 12 weeks; ninety day tasks are more specific, manageable and can help you make progress much faster. “Most people overestimate what can be done in 12 months and underestimate what can be achieved in 12 weeks”If you want to move into the next level, always have a space where you can reload with energy; make time to look after mental and physical health. “Self care is not selfish”Connect with Me and the Barrels and Business Community:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/barrelsandbusiness/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/barrelsandbusiness/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jadegreenau/YouTube: https://bit.ly/jadegreenytWebsite: https://www.barrelsandbusiness.com/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jadegreenau/Instagram: @jadegreenau https://www.instagram.com/jadegreenau/Facebook: @jadegreenau https://www.facebook.com/JadeGreenAU/Website: www.jadegreen.com.au Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/beachlovingbusinessowners/Promo: https://www.jadegreen.com.au/wetsuitMentioned resources:Performance and Flow consultant Roger Hamilton: https://www.jadegreen.com.au/wealthdynamics“Own the Day, Own Your Life” book by Aubrey Marcus“Atomic Habits: An easy & and Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones” by James ClearInstigator book to Jade's “90 Day Plan”> “Twelve Week Year: Achieve More in The Next 12 Weeks Than Most Will Achieve in 12 Months” by Brian P.

On this episode, we chat about office space with Paul Edwards, General Manager of Workplace Experiences at Mirvac. In this role, Paul is looking at the future of work and how Mirvac, as a developer building Australia’s workspaces, can build “smart precincts” and spaces that accommodate and cater to the shifting nature and needs of businesses and their employees. With tech companies and collaboration between startups and corporates a part of this shift, Mirvac in 2017 opened a startup hub called Hoist, at Sydney’s Australian Technology Park. A second Hoist location was launched last month in Ultimo. Gina had a chat with Paul about the future of work, what Mirvac learned from the development and running of the first Hoist space, and what makes a ‘smart precinct’.

Valeria Ignatieva is cofounder of WORK180, a company which looks to connect women with roles at organisations that have a focus on gender equality. The startup has created a jobs board that filters listings to accept only those that have policies or programs in place to support women, with WORK180 clients going through a screening process before they are accepted. The screening process takes companies through 20 criteria, including pay equity, flexible working, women in leadership, and paid parental leave. This information is then included in listings, allowing candidates to see what is on offer at a company before applying. With clients including Atlassian, Microsoft, Boeing, and Accenture, Work180 raised two $1 million funding rounds this year, to push expansion into the UK and the US. Gina had a chat with Valeria about the genesis of Work180, how it works with clients, and how the conversation about equality in the workplace has evolved since the business first launched.

With a big enough why, you will figure out how. This is a statement that I shared in Episode 001 because it has guided me to continue to step out of my comfort zone, through my current season of life.

The bank is global, founded and headquartered in South Africa, but its emerging companies division was founded in Australia two years ago to look at developing the Investec's startup investment arm and strategy.  It’s invested in over a dozen companies so far, and they’re quite varied - among its first investments, for example, was H2 Ventures, the fintech-focused accelerator program. It’s also invested in Splend, a service which allows drivers to easily rent vehicles for rideshare driving, and one of its most recent investments was glasses company Dresden. We spoke to Hein about the development of the Emerging Companies division, what it's looking for in portfolio companies and what, in turn, it can offer them, and the Australian startup landscape.
