Sandra Julian | Business Coach
On the Business Your Way podcast, we'll help you ditch the constant hustle for Unstoppable Scalable Growth so you can streamline your business operations, attract high-quality clients, boost your profits and unlock the success you deserve.
New episodes drop every two weeks which will provide you with helpful tips and advice from both Sandra Julian and guests to help you on your journey to a successful business your way.
Nartarsha Navanaga-Bamblett built her business by honouring culture and identity in a Western-dominated space. Her story shows the power of representation and how to stay true to who you are in business.
When you are a First Nations person who’s navigating a Western-dominated world, you enter unchartered territory. When you do that as a business person, things get turned up a notch.
Challenges don’t just come from a lack of precedent, they also come from “your own mob” questioning your journey.
👑 Nartarsha Navanaga-Bamblett knows all about this. Now a proud First Nations queen, mum of (soon-to-be) three, and the magical soul behind Queen Acknowledgements (https://www.queenacknowledgements.com), Nartarsha was raised on Yorta Yorta country, her grandmothers and the subsequent generations carrying the deep scars of The Stolen Generations.
These days, Nartarsha is rocking it in Naarm Country (Melbourne).
She made it her business to connect people through movement, dance, and music. Her entire heart, soul, and ancestral wisdom wrapped up in it. But navigating that requires a lot of work and self-reflection.
Because that’s what it means to her: how to stay true to who you are in business, even when it’s not the easy or the obvious road.
How To Stay True To Who You Are In Business
Staying true to yourself, building your business around your values, it’s something you’ve heard me mention many times. It’s important for all of us.
But as a First Nations woman, it gets magnified.

This episode explores how to thrive in business when menopause hits by embracing physical & emotional changes, gaining knowledge, & redesigning your business & lifestyle to support long-term wellbeing.
Let’s have a heart-to-heart ❤️
If you're a middle-aged woman in business who’s suddenly finding it all… a lot harder, you’re not imagining it. You're not broken. You're not lazy. And no, you haven't lost your edge 💪 You’re likely experiencing the profound impact of menopause or perimenopause.
Navigating menopause as a business owner can feel like trying to run a marathon in heels 👠🏃 You’re expected to keep performing, but there seem to be obstacles around every corner.
As businesswomen, what we did day after day, year after year without a blink of an eye, suddenly feels impossible, despite our best efforts. Because our bodies, our brains, our energy, our priorities; it all changes without much notice.
But the good news: menopause isn’t the end. As Dr. Wendy Sweet, says, it’s time to embrace it, not resist it.
But with all the ignorance and lack of knowledge surrounding menopause, that feels easier said than done.
Why Menopause Is a Business Reality 📉
Menopause is a health transition, yes.
But it’s also undeniably a business reality for female entrepreneurs and professionals. A brutal shift in energy, productivity, motivation, and mental clarity forces us into a different kind of leadership; from ourselves, and for ourselves.
It’s easy to feel like you just have to keep up appearances and figure it out on your own. But you don’t have to. Sometimes we just need to hear, “You’re not crazy. This is a real phase, and you’re doing brilliantly.”
But Dr Wendy stresses that (accurate) knowledge is power. Which is exactly why she launched her program, MyMT™ (short for “My Menopause Transformation”).
The Menopause Quiz is a 1st step to help you understand what’s really going on in your body beyond hot flashes. (It’s free, & it’s not about selling supplements.)
Take the quiz here https://www.mymenopausetransformation.com/perimenopause-menopause-quiz/

If your workload is overflowing, your team is maxed out, and your pipeline’s heating up, it’s probably time to hire. With the right plan, it doesn’t have to be scary.
You know that feeling. Business has been ramping up. You’re doing well, but it’s also getting “a bit much”. You’re wondering if maybe, just maybe, it’s time to hire someone. 👀
But then your brain chimes in with, “Whoa there… are we sure about this? What if we jump too soon?”
Totally valid. Hiring feels like a big leap. 🪂
Because it is.
So how do you know when it’s time to stop doing everything yourself and start expanding your team?
Let’s talk it through. 🗣️
The “Am I Ready?” Stage🧩
There comes a point in almost every small business where you hit a crossroads.🚦
Here’s how you know you might be standing at that intersection:
- You’re saying no to awesome projects because your calendar is bursting at the seams.
- Growth has stalled, not for lack of interest, but for lack of hands on deck.
- Admin, sleep, weekends, and your sanity are all taking a hit.
- Clients are starting to feel like they’re in a queue at the supermarket checkout.
- Freelancers are helping, but it still feels like duct tape on a leaky boat.
If any of this sounds familiar, guess what?
It might be time to hire. 🕒
Hiring = Exciting and Terrifying 😵💫🎉
Hiring someone is a big deal. You’re not just delegating. You’re becoming responsible for someone’s paycheck. 💸 That’s a lot.
Even if the numbers look good now, your inner critic might still be yelling, “What if this goes south in three months?” 😨
I hear you. I’ve been in business a long time, and it still gives me that fluttery nervous energy. 🦋 But here’s the thing:
You’ll never feel completely ready.
There’s a saying in business: “Don’t hire when you’re desperate.”
You hire before you think you’re ready.
That doesn’t mean wing it. It means plan it.
How I Decide When It’s Time to Hire 🧭
Let me walk you through how I make the call.

💰 Making money while you sleep sounds like the ultimate business dream, right?!
We’ve all heard the success stories: people selling templates, courses, or e-books and supposedly raking in cash while they’re out surfing 🏄♀️, sipping cocktails🍹, or living their best laptop-free life.
But is it really that simple? 🤔
Not quite.
Megan Elliott (also known as Megan Taylor), who runs a business selling both DIY copy templates ✍️ and fully done-for-you copy packages, knows firsthand that things are a bit more nuanced.
Her business, Copy Template Shop 🛍️ https://copytemplateshop.com, is all about helping her clients craft copy that’s both connection-driven 💬 and deeply strategic 🎯.
And here’s what she has to say about service vs. digital product business models and the myth of passive income.
The Myth of “Passive” Income
The idea that digital products equal easy money is widespread. But here’s the truth: selling templates may be scalable, but it’s far from hands-off.
💡 “Passive income isn’t as passive as the online business world wants us to believe.” – Megan Elliott
Even with automation, running a digital product shop still requires effort:
✅ Customer support: Answering questions and troubleshooting, which was so time consuming, Megan eventually decided to hire help.
✅ Keeping products updated: Content needs refreshing to stay relevant.
✅ Marketing: Driving traffic and sales isn’t automatic. It’s an ongoing job.
That doesn’t mean digital products aren’t worth it! They just require a different kind of effort than a service-based business.
Megan knows the ins and outs of service-based vs digital product-based business models so let’s compare the realities of each.
Service Vs. Digital Products Business: The Pros And Cons In A Nutshell
Both service and digital product business models have their perks and challenges.

Scaling your business isn’t about piling more onto your already full plate. It’s about stepping into your role as a leader; bringing in the right people and empowering them to take ownership.
But making that shift? Easier said than done.
Why Is It So Hard to Move from Doing to Leading?Ever feel like you’re the glue holding everything together? You’re making every decision, overseeing every detail, and keeping the wheels turning. But instead of feeling in control, you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and stuck. It’s like if you take your hands off the wheel for even a second, everything might fall apart.
Here’s the good news: this is a normal phase. Every service business owner reaches this point, the moment when working harder is no longer the answer. But (and this is a big but!) you can’t stay here. If you don’t make the transition from doer to leader, your business growth will stall.
The challenge? Being a great business owner doesn’t automatically make you a great leader. The skills that got you here aren’t the same ones that will take you forward.
That’s why I want to share 2 game-changing books that helped me navigate this transition:
📖 Who Not How by Dan Sullivan
📖 Radical Candor by Kim Scott
These books will help you:
✅ Find the right people so you’re not doing everything yourself.
✅ Lead with confidence, clarity, and care (without micromanaging or feeling guilty!).
The Shift: Going From Business Owner to Business LeaderReady to stop being the bottleneck in your business? Here’s where to start:
✅ Step 1: Identify What to Delegate
Download my System Creation Toolkit (includes a Delegation Checklist & Time Audit Resource). https://sandrajulian.co/SystemToolkit to help you figure out which tasks you should be handing off.
Once you have done this, it’s time to get the books out to help you transition from doing to leading.
✅ Step 2: Shift from How to Who
Instead of asking, How do I do this?, start asking, Who is the best person to take this on?
✅ Step 3: Lead with Clarity and CareSet clear expectations, give honest feedback, and build a thriving team.

Karen King, founder of Gold Star Pro, shares her journey of building a business while embracing the digital nomad family lifestyle.
Meet Karen King, the adventurous entrepreneur behind Gold Star Pro!
An Aussie, a mum of two, and a full-time traveller for nearly a decade, Karen traded the 9-to-5 grind for a business that lets her work from anywhere. 🏝️
The spark that ignited her digital nomad family lifestyle were the words “location independence” from “The Four-Hour Work Week” book by Tim Ferriss.
From there, Karen didn’t just adapt to the digital nomad family life. She built a business to make it easier for others too (if that’s what they dream of). Enter Gold Star Pro.
Let’s talk about Gold Star Pro
Gold Star Pro is the ultimate business tool for talented but not-so-tech-savvy entrepreneurs who want efficiency, automation, and more freedom. Instead of juggling multiple platforms, Gold Star Pro brings everything into one place with (and this is important!) lots and lots and lots of support. 🙌
In Karen’s words, “the platform offers everything a small service business needs apart from ZOOM”. From the website to course creation, email marketing, bulk social media scheduling, contact management and much, much more. It’s all there. (To find out more about Gold Star Pro, head over to https://www.usegoldstar.com)
Tips For Running A Business While Travelling With Kids
But about that digital nomad parenting life. In a lot of ways, it’s “same-same but different”.
For Karen’s kids, the world is their classroom! 🌎 They learn through experience: counting subway steps, converting currency, and exploring historic sites in real life.
Equally, as any parent will contest, running a business with kids isn’t easy. Doing it while travelling takes it up a notch. But Karen has mastered the art.
Here are her top 5 strategies to make it work:
1. Time Blocking is a Game-Changer ⏳ In the early days of their life as a digital nomad family, Karen loved the freedom of working whenever she wanted. But soon, she realised she wasn’t as productive as she could be. It was the trigger to engage a business coach who encouraged her to time-block.

We explore 4 easy ways to strengthen your proposals by avoiding some key project proposal mistakes that confuse clients and delay decisions.
Ever sent a proposal bid and heard … nothing? Or maybe you got a response, but it was full of questions instead of a clear yes? Or how about the “I’ll think about it”?
If that sounds familiar, your proposal might be creating doubt instead of confidence.
There’s a real art and also a bit of a science to writing a good proposal.
Keen on making it easy for clients to say YES to your proposal, but need a simple proposal template for small business to get you on your way? I’ve got you!
Download my “Irresistible Proposal Blueprint” https://sandrajulian.co/irresistible-proposal-blueprint/ and start improving your project proposals today! 🎉
So, here are four common project proposal mistakes, AND how you can fix them.👇
4 Proposal Mistakes That Crop Up Again And Again
Project Proposal Mistake 1: DON’T Skip the Client’s Pain Point Or Desire
Often, I see businesses copy and paste text directly from the client’s website into the proposal bid. But that doesn’t show deep understanding of the problem, something your client really desires.
Instead: show your client you understand their unique problem.
✅ Ask plenty of clarifying questions before you start writing the proposal and then acknowledge the challenge in their own words.
✅ Explain what’s at stake if they don’t fix it.
✅ Paint a picture of success after working with you.
Project Proposal Mistake 2: DON’T Offer A Menu Of Services As The Solution
Listing multiple service options leaves it to the client to figure out what they need. One of the most common project proposal mistakes is failing to recognise that confused clients don’t say YES.
Instead: It’s your job to offer the solution in your project proposal.
✅ Provide a clear solution for their problem.
✅ Explain why it’s the right approach.
✅ Show how it leads to their desired result.
Project Proposal Mistake 3: DON’T Be Vague In Your Pricing

Clunky business processes create chaos, waste time, and cause missed opportunities. In this episode, I will explain how to streamline your business in simple steps.
Is your business paddling smoothly—or are you splashing around?
Running a business is like paddling a waka (canoe). When your team is in sync, you move forward with speed and purpose. But if everyone is paddling at their own leisure—or worse, if you don’t even have a paddle—you won’t have that same propelling force. Or worse, you’ll go in circles, drift aimlessly, or work way too hard just to stay afloat.
That’s exactly what happens when your business processes aren’t clear. Instead of efficiency, you get chaos, wasted time, and missed opportunities. But don’t worry—fixing this isn’t as overwhelming as it sounds!
4 Steps To Streamline Your Inefficient Business Processes in 2025
✅ Get Clear on Your ObjectivesAll business processes should have a purpose. Ask yourself: Why does this task matter? What’s the best way to do it? How will I know it’s working? Clarity = success.
✅ Standardise Your Way of Doing ThingsIf you’re making things up as you go, it’s time to document what works best. Create repeatable steps so you (and your team) don’t waste time figuring things out every time. Remember, your business processes should reflect what makes your business unique!
✅ Automate Where PossibleAutomation isn’t just a fancy extra—It’s a game changer. Tools can handle scheduling, invoicing, follow-ups, and more, freeing you up to focus on strategy and growth.
✅ Keep Tweaking & Improving
What works today might not work next year. Regularly review your business processes and ask, How can I make this more efficient? Small improvements add up fast!

The Main Takeaway
Quarterly business plans are the bridge between your annual goals and daily tasks. They turn intentions into actionable steps that drive meaningful progress.
Ready to Make 2025 Your Best Year? Let’s Talk PLANNING 🚀
Planning isn’t tedious—it’s your secret weapon for achieving the “impossible.” Years ago, I avoided planning, consumed by client demands. Everything changed when I embraced structured planning. Now, I break my year into quarterly business plans, monthly tasks, and weekly progress tracking.
Here’s the magic formula: ACCOUNTABILITY + ACTION = SUCCESS! 🏆
Why You Need Quarterly Business Plans
- Essential for Growth
To achieve new results, you must shift your approach. Quarterly business plans connect long-term goals to daily actions, ensuring intentions lead to tangible results. - Consistency is Key
Schedule quarterly planning sessions at the start of the year. Make these non-negotiable, dedicating four hours during the last or first week of each quarter. - Team Collaboration Matters
Involve your team to gain insights, avoid blind spots, and align everyone with your goals.
The Four-Step Process for Creating a Quarterly Business Plan
- Celebrate Wins
Start with positivity by acknowledging achievements. 🎉 - Make Adjustments
Apply the KISS quadrant—Keep, Improve, Stop, Start—to refine processes and boost efficiency. - Reflect on the Previous Quarter
Review what worked, what didn’t, and carry over tasks that align with your goals. - Plan the New Quarter
Choose up to four focus areas and break them into monthly tasks with clear deadlines.
Stay Accountable to Your Plan
Turn your plan into actionable tasks with clear accountability. Use tools like Monday.com to track progress and keep on course.
Final Thoughts
Start simple and adapt as needed. Quarterly planning can set the foundation for an epic year, whether you’re a solo entrepreneur or managing a team. 🌟

WHAT IS THE #1 FACTOR IN BUSINESS SUCCESS?
❌ It’s not the products you offer
❌ It’s not the marketing
❌ It’s not the investments
❌ It’s not the hours you work
I’m making this sound very black and white, which we all know it isn’t. Because any of these are important. Very important.
But without THE RIGHT MINDSET FOR BUSINESS SUCCESS... it’s going to be a massive struggle.
Which begs the question: CAN YOU FOSTER THE RIGHT MINDSET?
Of course you can!
And I want to show you how.
In this episode, I give you some practical strategies to cultivate the right mindset that will drive your business to new levels of success.

It’s the number one question on your mind if the talks with my BYW clients are anything to go by.
Of course, in all honesty, the answer is up to you.
To me, it most definitely is. Although I’m not going to pretend it’s always smooth sailing.
But what I do want to say is that you don’t have to remain stuck in the financial challenges of a small business and the feeling that, despite your exhausting efforts, you’re getting nowhere!
There is a way through and out of it!
What it takes is some good foundations and a methodical approach of elimination and insight.
So, ...head over to the blog or the podcast and let’s tackle this puppy!
Do You Need Some Help With That?
It often takes a fresh pair of eyes to point out what may be in plain sight.
That’s the case for all of us, me included. (It’s why I have a business coach too, despite being one.)
SO,... if you would like me to have a look at your business to help you identify the cause for your money and small business hurdles, you only have to book A 60 Minute Business Clarity Coaching Session. https://hub.sandrajulian.co/offers/aF8J8oyz/checkout
You know what to do! 😉
ALSO, don’t forget to leave a review on the podcast so more people can join us. It would mean the world to me.

Investing in your business can be a scary affair!
BUT, I would argue that taking the leap in business investments is non-negotiable. Call it essential.
And the alternative is even more frightening!
EVEN when the financial road ahead seems bumpy.
Of course, ...there are some things to consider.
Because just forking out your hard earned cash on a whim is not what you would call smart or strategic. I would never encourage you to do THAT!
It has to be considered. Thought through.
The question is...
HOW DO YOU KNOW IT’S A GREAT INVESTMENT AND NOT SENSELESS SPENDING?
I say it’s time we face our investment fears head on!

WE’VE REACHED EPISODE 100 ON THE BUSINESS YOUR WAY PODCAST, which of course is reason to celebrate!
I thought long and hard about how that celebration should look, and here’s what I settled on:
If anything, my podcast is there to HELP MY LISTENERS WITH THEIR SMALL BUSINESS.
So, I decided this should be at the very centre of our celebration. And I wanted it to help ALL OF YOU, no matter what your questions or struggles are.
SO,...
I’ve set up a booking system that allows you to book a 20 minute slot with me during the month of August.
I’m calling it my FREE 20-Minute Laser Coaching Sessions and it’s accessible to anyone who listens to the podcast.
All you have to do is
- book a time here https://calendly.com/sandrajulian/20-minute-laser-coaching
- show up with one topic that’s been on your mind.
For 20-minutes, we will work through that topic one-on-one so you can walk away with clarity and action.
My only recommendation would be to GET IN AS SOON AS YOU READ THIS. Because, although I have a variety of slots, I suspect they’ll fill up fast.
Which leaves me to share The Top 5 Things I Learned From Doing 100 Episodes On The Business Your Way Podcast.
What’s Next For The Business Your Way Podcast?
What does the future hold?
👉 My goal for the next 100 is to expose the BYW podcast to even more people, but I'm gonna need your help with that.
- I’d love it if you would take a screenshot of wherever you are listening to this episode.
- Share it in your Instagram or Facebook stories and tag me.
- I’d like to say thank you and give you a shout out.
👉 Also, we are moving into a new episode rotation for the rest of 2023. So between now and the end of the year, we'll release fortnightly episodes.
👉 And finally, I'm looking for new guests on the podcast. If you have worked with someone and you think other business owners would also benefit from what this person has to share, I would love to hear about them.
So if you've got any recommendations, please get in touch here at sandrajulian.co/askme

In this episode, we explore...
👉 Why is consistency so important in business?
👉 How do you create consistency in your business so you become this efficient powerhouse your clients can't wait to work with?
Need Some Help With That?
If you know efficiency is a problem, or has room for improvement, consistency can’t be overlooked.
As always, if you need help to work through the process of creating consistency in business so you improve overall efficiency, reach out to me!

Company core values are non-negotiable.
A MUST-HAVE.
And a couple of nice sounding words featuring in your business plan won’t do!
That’s because company core values are the backbone of your business.
When you articulate them AND live by them, they will affect ...
- your goals
- your decisions
- company culture
- staff loyalty
- customer loyalty
- the bottom-line
So HOW do you articulate your values?
As simple as it sounds, coming up with a handful of core values for your business isn’t that straightforward.
BUT I HAVE A WAY OF DEALING WITH IT!
Listen to this episode about Authenticity In Business: www.sandrajulian.co/authenticity-in-business
Need Some Help With That?
Defining your company core values is one of the processes we work through in my “Being Boss” Programme.
It’s a 3 or 6 month One-On-One Coaching And Mentoring Programme that puts it all together. It equips you with the tools, mindset, and actionable steps needed to turn your big goals into tangible, jaw-dropping results.
Head on over to www.sandrajulian.co/coaching to find out more. If this calls out to you, BOOK A CALL to find out if we could work together.
WE HAVE EPISODE 100 COMING UP!
It’s something I’m secretly quite proud of. So I think we should celebrate. 🎉
How?
THAT’S UP TO YOU!
Do you have ideas on
- a prize?
- a giveaway?
- a topic ?
- a guest?
I would like to hear about it!

Most new service providers set the prices of their services based on ...
✔️ the minimum viable product
✔️ the competition
In layman’s terms, they basically cover their cost plus a tiny bit extra. Also, it’s below the competition’s price point.
BUT... this pricing strategy for service business comes with A MASSIVE PROBLEM.
Because the clients you will attract are the ones who chase the lowest price possible rather than the ones who appreciate the value you bring.
Moving away from an hourly rate comes with its own set of challenges.
So,...
How do you price your services so you hit the sweet spot that
👉 maximises your revenue
👉 delivers exceptional value to your clients? (replace bullet points with pointing fingers)
Let’s talk about pricing strategy!
Do You Want Some Help With That?
As you continue to refine your ideal pricing strategy and messaging, don't hesitate to seek expert advice and leverage the resources that are available, like this podcast.
You don't have to navigate this journey alone, reach out a book a call with me. www.sandrajulian.co/bookacall
Listen to Episode 91 about pricing models: www.sandrajulian.co/how-to-set-the-right-price
100 Is Looming!
We are knocking on the door of 100 episodes. I can't believe it!
So I want to ask you ... as a regular listener of the podcast, how would you like to celebrate the milestone? Send me a message with your suggestions here sandrajulian.co/askme

Compared to a few decades ago, consumer trust is low. Very low.
Customer loyalty is equally up for grabs. 😭
For businesses (like YOU!) who genuinely want to distance themselves from the landscape of tricksters, dodgers and mild manipulators of truth, it’s hard to differentiate yourself.
BUT IT IS POSSIBLE!
And the answer is AUTHENTICITY.
See,...AUTHENTIC BUSINESSES INSPIRE AND PROSPER.
It’s a bold statement, but it’s very hard to argue with.
The question is... how do you create an authentic business?
I believe BRAND PROMISE and BRAND POSITION (or positioning) hold the key.
With the right approach to brand positioning and brand promise, they will help deliver authenticity in business.
As a result,...
- your business will stand out from the competition
- your customers will keep coming back
Can I Get Some Help With That?
As much as I would like to, I can’t give you a formula to create authenticity in business. Because it is such an individual path, you’re going to have to do the work and the miles to nail it down yourself.
HOWEVER, you don’t need to go it alone, feeling overwhelmed and second-guessing every step.
I can guide you during My Business Your Way Coaching Container "BEING BOSS".
It’s a 3 or 6 month coaching package empowering you to take your business to unprecedented heights. You’ll receive personalised guidance to create brand authenticity, focusing strongly on brand positioning and brand promise.

In the highly competitive landscape of service-based businesses, it's crucial to have a steady stream of meaningful sales conversations.
Mastering the art of sales is not just about closing deals; It goes deeper than that.
Much deeper.
BECAUSE...
People don’t say YES unless they ...
✔️ feel a connection
✔️ think you understand their needs
✔️ feel like they are in the hands of an expert who will do the best job for them
Heck, you often can’t get people to talk to you on a first call unless they think you can provide these three! 😱
SO, ...HOW DO YOU HAVE A MORE MEANINGFUL SALES CONVERSATION (that is not all about you)?
With INCREASED SALES CONVERSIONS as a result! 🤔
The answer is 3 fold:
👉 Brand promise
👉 A signature offer
👉 A strong focus on your market
Need some help with that?
Now, simple as it may sound, improving the sales conversation through honing in on these 3 elements is not a one-and-done job.
So it helps to have support in getting clarity and remaining committed.
I CAN BE THAT PERSON FOR YOU. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE THAT FIRST STEP.
If you want to come and work with me to improve these areas of your business, then book a FREE 60-minute Scale Strategy Session.**
I'll get you to complete a Scale Scan so we can pinpoint what's working and what's not. From there, we create a 3 step plan to set your business up for scalable growth. All this is FREE!
From there, if we decide we want to work together, I'll share with you what that looks like. If not, you walk away from our call with a step plan to implement yourself. There really is no way you can lose!

It’s hard to overestimate the importance of building a reputation in business.
Whether it’s a bunch of 5 star reviews on Google, or the hallway chat that happens between 2 colleagues, your reputation matters...A LOT.
👉 It can make or break your business.
👉 It can determine how fast or how much your business grows.
👉 When done well, it's a powerful tool that can help attract new customers without lifting a finger.
👉 You can charge a price that reflects the quality service you offer...Clients will pay without a moan, AND come back for more later down the track. (replace bullet points with pointing fingers)
I go as far as saying A STRONG REPUTATION IS YOUR MOST VALUABLE ASSET. Many successful business owners will agree.
So, pull up a chair and listen closely. (If you’re in the car, turn up the volume!)
YOU’RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT HOW TO WORK THE ULTIMATE MARKETING STRATEGY!
Need Some Help With This?
If you want to...
- build a strong reputation for your business
- improve your service package
- work on the consistency of the services you offer
- create an onboarding or offboarding procedure
- work towards value-based pricing
- or simply know something isn’t working and you have no idea where to start
Then a FREE 60 Minute Strategy Session with me is exactly what’s needed. We’ll do a Scale Scan to see what is and is not working in your business. And from there we build a Growth Plan.

The idea that offering a wide range of services will make your business more appealing to potential clients is a common misconception. When in fact ... the opposite is true.
I’m not one to cause arguments, but ...
TODAY I’M GOING TO CHALLENGE SOME OF YOUR BELIEFS AROUND SPECIALISATION VS GENERALISATION.
Just think about it...
You need help with the social media for your agency. Who will you turn to for the best results?
A general do-it-all-but-the-kitchen-sink marketing business, or ...a social media specialist? 🤔
I know what I would choose!
SO LET’S TALK ABOUT WHY THE BENEFITS OF SPECIALISATION IN BUSINESS FAR OUTWAY THE DISADVANTAGES. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE SCALABLE GROWTH ON YOUR WISH LIST

When scaling your done-for-you service based business is on your mind, your attention should go to the systems instead of stubbornly sticking with the hustling practice.
WHY?
Because there’s only so much hustling you can successfully fit in a day as a business owner without paying the price. 🥴
BUT when you streamline the processes and systems, on the other hand, you can hand over the job to the team, while you re-direct your attention to actually leading the business.
The secret to doing that is... SIMPLICITY.
I know, I know... There’s so much in these few sentences.😵💫

IN THE WORLD OF EMAIL MARKETING, NOT ALL EMAILS ARE CREATED THE SAME!
See... if your idea of email marketing translates to a monthly newsletter, you have some catching up to do!
Because newsletters are OUT. But the right kind of emails are very IN!
The short and the narrow is that email marketing has... changed. Become more sophisticated, more potent. The word ‘smarter’ comes to mind. And as a business owner, we would be mighty stupid to just bulk all emails under one umbrella and dismiss them! (I’m looking at you Mr. “Email marketing is dead”)
BECAUSE what they can do for us and our clients is mind-blowing. And my question to you is... ARE YOU USING YOUR EMAIL MARKETING TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL? I can tell you... I was NOT! Until Yael Keon showed me a world I didn’t know existed!
If, like me, you’re flabbergasted by what email marketing looks like these days, you may be keen to get in touch with Yael Keon and flesh out this whole email marketing some more.
But to take that first step towards email marketing Anno 2022, Yael has her ‘Fill In The Blank Style’ free resource. It gives you no less than 80 ideas for your next email that isn’t a newsletter!

“Don’t hire when you’re desperate.”
“Hire before you’re ready.
“There is no lack of advice and opinions when it comes to the right time to add to the team when your business is growing. But what it fails to tell you is ...
EXACTLY AT WHAT POINT ARE YOU READY TO HIRE A NEW TEAM MEMBER??? 🤔
What you really need is a strategy.
You need a PLAN to figure out the balance between ...
- the decisions that are necessary to keep your business moving ahead,...like making that hire,
- and the risk that comes with taking on the responsibility of an additional name on the payroll list.
So what does this plan look like? IT’S IN THIS EPISODE!
Haven’t got a clue about where to start with the accountability chart? Your pipeline is ...patchy? Frankly, you need help with your scale strategy in general?
Help is on the way, and it’s obligation free!**
You can book my FREE 60 Minutes Scale Strategy Session here.
Here’s what you can expect:

It’s happened AGAIN... the client missed a deadline!
Maybe it’s the review of some work you have done. Maybe it’s content or key information your agency needs in order to move forward. The bottom-line is, your project loses its momentum, the timeline is now messed up and your revenue stream equally stuffed.
BUT WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THIS SITUATION IS AVOIDABLE?
What if I said that it’s only happening because you allow your clients to lay down the rules, and it doesn’t have to be this way?
See, there are some simple things you can do to keep your clients in line, without getting frustrated, or worse, ... having to throw a hissy fit.
And I’m about to show you the strategies you can implement in your agency in this podcast episode!
BUT ALSO...I’ll help you put a client onboarding system in place so your clients know a deadline is not a mere suggestion!
You can book my FREE 60 Minutes Scale Strategy Session here.
It’s an obligation free call during which we’ll look at how you can set clear boundaries with clients and stop them from dragging their feet getting back to you. But we’ll do even more.
- We’ll look at the current situation in your business. We’ll identify what's working and what's not.
- We’ll uncover the number one bottleneck, restricting your growth and holding you back from scaling.
- And last but not least, we’ll come up with a plan to move your business forward for the next 90 days and beyond.

We have an important question to answer.
CAN YOU REALLY SCALE A SERVICE-BASED BUSINESS?
I need to ask, because there seems to be a consistent road block almost every service based business owner encounters at some stage in their journey.
I was one of those service-based business owners. But I’ve managed to break through the hurdles!
How? The answer is The Scalable Growth Process. Which of course means nothing to you, unless I do some explaining. Which is exactly what I have in mind for this podcast!
Let’s lay down the foundations for growth that can be scaled AND sustained without a negative impact on the quality of service you are delivering, while maintaining a healthy profit margin!
I’m so excited to share this with you because of the difference it will make for your business!
- Are you a service-based business owner or agency owner?
- Do you generate about $8,000-10,000 per month?
- Do you have a small team?
- Are you ready to take your agency to the next level?

AND JUST LIKE THAT WE’RE AT 52 EPISODES!
One for each week of the year. It’s quite something when you think about it.
There are 2 things about the year of podcasting I probably appreciate the most: The first one is the feedback I get from you, the listeners. It truly makes my heart sing! The second one is the interactions I have with my podcast guest. The wisdom....!
So...
I didn’t want Episode 52 to be about me.
Instead, I wanted this 52nd podcast to celebrate the podcast guests who openly shared what happens in the messy underbelly of our businesses. We had copious amounts of skills knowledge. That speaks. But my guests also invariably share the doubts, the constant learning, the process of trialling and failing and pivoting and ultimately ...figuring it out. THOSE are the precious moments.
So, without further ado, here are YOUR FAVOURITE SNIPPETS FROM 5 RECENT GUESTS that are absolute gems.
SAVOUR THEM, AND IF YOU HUNGER FOR MORE (AND I PROMISE, YOU WILL! 😂)

Marketing can be intimidating, confusing, and time-consuming.
BUT IT DOESN’T NEED TO BE.
When I speak with Sunny Logsdon, veteran content marketer with a weak spot for small business, she is adamant content marketing is just as important for small businesses as it is for the big corporates. And it doesn’t need to be the big hurdle it’s made out to be.
All you need is the necessary systems in place to make it easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Added bonus: Sunny is rather good (and patient) in explaining to us, mere mortals, how to do it.
I SAY THIS ONE IS FAR TOO GOOD TO MISS!
So put in the earphones and soak up the wisdom! 👍
Connect with Sunny Logsdon
Sunny is not only knowledgeable, experienced, and good at explaining. She’s also generous. Her signature program is the 6 week Rise And Repeat cohort in which she helps you implement the wisdom she mentions on the podcast.
But for the BYW podcast listeners, she also offers a FREE marketing audit. So book a call and mention the Business Your Way Podcast!

It makes sense to build a business that makes the most of your skills and talents. After all, that’s when you’ll be at your best.
But as I found out myself, that’s easier said than done. Because WHAT ARE THESE STRENGTHS that should take centre stage in your business?
I turned to Anna Nelson for the answer. And by golly, did she deliver!
Anna Nelson is a 1:1 executive coach who helps entrepreneurs understand what makes them unique. From there, she helps them figure out what their ‘perfect’ business looks like based on their strengths and the strengths of their team.
How that all works is for Anna to explain in this podcast!
True to her own word, Anna designed her business around her strengths. Her superpower? Helping people on a one-on-one basis. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I’ve rarely met anybody who is so easy to talk to. So get in touch with Anna Nelson. Before you know it, you’ll skip your way through the workday (knowing that you’re showing up as your best possible self) with a new friend by your side. (You can hear the background of that story on the podcast!)

Having staff is not always easy.
Technology is: It works, or it doesn’t.
People, on the other hand...
Yet, Justine Parsons from Your Virtual Assistant calls her team her biggest accomplishment in her business, the thing she’s most proud of. 😳
But when you speak with her, it’s also her team who seems to be the answer to whatever problem she’s facing.
To top it off, Justine‘s team seems to stick with her for the long haul, despite the fact that she only hires contractors.
Needless to say, she must be doing something right and I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS.
If a contractor hire has been a lingering (but scary) thought, you should have Justine’s number on speed dial. What started with Virtual Assistants doing admin work, now also includes Virtual Specialists (like a graphic designer or a bookkeeper) or a Virtual Business Manager. It means you no longer to worry about any of the work you can’t, won’t, or shouldn’t be doing. You may just find it’s the best thing since sliced bread.

Usually my life is pretty calm and organised.
Recently, out of nowhere, ... it wasn’t AT ALL!
TEARS, NETFLIX, COMFORT FOOD!
Life sometimes takes a good laugh at what we think is ‘control’.
So when I found myself in a moment of massive chaos and overwhelm, I had to pull out all the strategies and tools I had available to make it out the other end.
Now that I’m catching my breath again, I’m also acutely aware that I’m not alone. Occasionally, we all mutter that ‘Life is hard right now!’
So for every other business owner out there whose life is being rained down by lemons, what better thing to do than feed you all the strategies I had to fall back on when the wheels started coming off in my life.
It may be exactly what YOU need to hear right now!
But don’t worry if at this very moment you can barely remember your surname because of the chaos and overwhelm! I’m here to help you see what you can’t in the moment, coach you through the survival strategies. Together, we can establish what’s important and where your energy should be focused.
Until you too, get to the other end.

You scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours.
It’s how I would sum up some of the potential answers to a burning need all business owners share.
WHERE DO YOU GO FOR ADVICE AS A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER?
It’s obvious that everybody needs advice at some stage. (Only fools and liars claim to know everything.)
But it’s even more vital when you are a sole proprietor.
So... WHO can be your listening ear, your patient advisor?
It’s a challenge, because NOBODY knows your business like you do. And where do you turn for advice you can TRUST?
Like so many solo business owners, I had to find an answer to this problem many years ago. And I’VE COME UP WITH SEVERAL ANSWERS. Each of them suited me in their own way at different stages of my business journey.
Which one works best for you, is for you to find out after I’ve talked you through the pros and the cons of each option. And of course, I’m sharing my own experience too.👇 Nothing like some real life insight, wouldn’t you agree?
Not sure what your next step is? Totally overwhelmed by the options? Desperate for a fresh pair of eyes on your business? Nobody should go it alone in business. So, if after this episode you’re keen on exploring the option of engaging with me as a Business Coach, you can get in touch on the 'Work With Me' tab on my website.

Ghostwriting? Nailing your founder’s story in one or two sentences in such a way that people get who you are and can’t wait to work with you? Leveraging story in your business?
Are you as puzzled AND intrigued as I am?
I mean, there’s no escaping the storytelling as a marketing strategy narrative, but what can it mean to your business? And how do you do it well, even if writing is not your thing?
Danielle Cook, professional ghostwriter and copywriter, lets us in on her approach. But also, she explains what you can expect if you decide to hire a ghostwriter or copywriter to do the storytelling for you... in YOUR unique voice.
This podcast touches on a very different side of business than what we’ve been discussing in previous podcasts, so I can’t wait to hear what your thoughts are. Do you use storytelling in business? And if not, what keeps you from doing it? I want to find out!

4 STEPS
That’s all it takes to bring in your ideal client. One who appreciates you, pays you fairly, lets you get on with the job, AND returns for more.
SIGH!
Are these 4 steps easy?
If ‘easy’ would be the word that comes to mind, we’d all be doing it from day 1.
BUT I wouldn’t call them ‘hard’ either.
First, of course, you would have to work your way through episode 43, so you know how to create a business that is aligned with your talents and lifestyle choices. (You can find it here https://sandrajulian.co/aligning-talent-and-business)
Once you’ve done that, all you need is clarity, focus, consistency and good communication. But I’m guessing you want me to be a bit more concrete than that? 🤔
I give you: 4 STEPS TO ATTRACT YOUR IDEAL CLIENT 👇
Of course, if after this episode you’re still at large about how to attract your ideal client, we can work on it together. I will walk you through the ‘Business Lifestyle Canvas’ that gives you clarity on your talents, the lifestyle you want to live, who you serve, the problems you solve, your value proposition, your packages, and your values.
You’ll walk away with a 2 page document compromising all the tools that will not only help you attract the right clients but also help you create the business that is perfectly aligned with your talents and your dream lifestyle!
Book a 30-minute chat with me to get your ‘Business Lifestyle Canvas’ under way. (And that IS easy!)

To jump or not to jump, that is the question!
I’m talking about a dilemma that most of us have at least mildly contemplated: Should you turn your passion into a business?
There’s plenty of opinion out there.
Here’s Oprah’s: “Forget about the fast lane. If you really want to fly, harness your power to your passion. Honour your calling. Everybody has one. Trust your heart, and success will come to you.”
But is it really that simple? (I, for one, have thought about it... and rejected the idea of turning my hobby into a business .)
Blaire Brown from Visionary Advantages Brand Strategy Group, on the other hand, made a career out of her passion for fashion.
The outcome may surprise you!
Blaire’s is also the host of her podcast ‘Curate Your Success’.
Her favourite guests are other go-getters who are brutally honest about their mistakes. And as much as it’s nice to hear people’s success stories (I am an encourager at heart!), it’s the mistakes other entrepreneurs make that hold the real lessons.

WHO ARE YOU?
It’s an important question if you want to create a business that is aligned with your talents.
When I reached out to the BYW community to see which topics they wanted me to delve into in future podcasts, this came up. It’s an important topic too, so it’s time we address it, I say.
But let’s be fair, it’s quite a meaty subject that can’t be answered in a couple of minutes. My solution? We’re going all-out in a two-part podcast. I know... I’m feeling indulgent! 😂
In this first one, we talk about figuring out who you really are and what you want for your lifestyle.
To juice it all up, my friend Anna and I open up about the hurdles we encountered while creating a business that is aligned with our talents.
Let’s get digging!
While I’m not certified in any of the personality tests I discuss on the podcast (Anna is, though!), I can help you flesh out the second step. Simply book a Business Coach Session on the ‘Work With Me’ section (sandrajulian.co/work-with-me) and we’ll get you on your way.
Of course, you’re always welcome to get in touch via email or Instagram too. But you knew that already, didn’t you?

There’s some deep wisdom coming from Christi Cooper.
I ask her what her 3 tips for new service-based business owners are, and she gives me these three gems:
- Don’t give up. We all have low months, downtimes, bad days. Business gurus promise fast growth, but that’s not usually how things work. In the real world, things take time and it’s a more sustainable way of growing.
- Don’t be afraid to try and fail. That’s how you grow and learn.
- Take care of yourself. Don’t give up your whole life for your business. Family and friends are important.
If you ask me, Christi is spot on. Business gurus spoon-feed us this overly simplified idea that growing a business is as fast and easy as a Tesla in Ludicrous Mode.
But not only does that experience take you on a crazy ride that makes you scream in terror (ask me how I know), the likelihood of crashing at some stage is very real.
SO, what does it REALLY look like when you grow your business from scratch?
Christi Cooper generously shares her story. One where we can learn so much more from than from the hyped-up guru stories. Because that’s what they are... STORIES.
Christi Cooper is the designer and owner of Cooper Heart Creative. What started out as a side-hustle developed into a solid and successful business based on quality work, a top-notch client experience, and streamlined systems and processes. Did it happen overnight? Heck no! But then again, all good things take time!

What does it tell you when somebody builds a dashboard on Notion that monitors the health of the 150+ plants in their apartment?
It tells you this person:
- has a deep passion for plants
- is extremely organised
- knows a thing or two about Notion and how to work with it.
I‘m talking about Sara Loretta, my new guest on the podcast.
Sara is a successful Certified Notion Consultant (1 out of 40 in the entire world!) with a good amount of pizazz and an opinion she’s very willing to share.
It makes for awesome conversation!
As it turns out, Sara and I agree on many things. And so we chat, compare notes, and have a giggle about business values, client relationships, and the systems we use in our business.
But most importantly, we talk about how these things intertwine, because ...
OUR BUSINESS IS LIKE A LIVING ORGANISM: EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED. Especially if you want to run a business YOUR way!
When it comes to (future) clients, there is always an empty spot in Sara’s diary. She’s more than happy to answer any questions you may have about whether Notion is the right choice for you and what it can do for your business.
But just in case you prefer to dip your toe in the water before you have an in person conversation, check out Sara’s FREE Notion Basics Training.
Connect with Sara Loretta at www.saraloretta.com

Running a business is not for the faint-hearted. There are challenges left, right and centre. But I’m here to tell you challenges are only challenges because you haven’t found an answer to them yet. The solutions could be a lot easier than you may think and I'm here to help!

Productivity is all about managing our mindset (amongst other things).
Think about it: How often do you buffer the hard and chunky tasks by scrolling through social media? (Me, I’m guilty as charged.)
BUT THERE’S A PROBLEM. Harmless as this may seem, these behaviors have a significant effect on productivity, and ultimately business growth.
SO...Somehow we have to make ourselves do the hard tasks. We need to break through our productivity blocks by managing our mind.
WHAT WE NEED IS ANOTHER PRODUCTIVITY STRATEGY.
As you guessed, in this podcast, I’m sharing how I’m managing my mind to become more productive, and how you can do the same.
My FREE AGENCY OWNER PERSONA QUIZ can help you gain insight into your personality as a business owner AND can help you become more productive (and tackle procrastination) YOUR WAY.

3 has power.
Look around, and you’ll notice it everywhere.
The 3 bears in the Goldilocks fairy tale
The 3 Tenors (like them or hate them, the point is we all know about them)
The 3 primary colours
Did you notice I just gave you 3 examples?
3 is deeply ingrained in our culture, but it goes further than that. There’s some solid science behind why 3’s appeal to the human brain.
Guess what?! Because 3 is such an easily grasped concept for the upper storey, we can use the power of 3 consciously to get ahead in business too.
The concept is very obvious when you think about it, but sometimes we’re so go-go-go it’s hard to see what’s staring us in the face. Until someone points it out, and plants the seed of what will be a turning point for our business success.
Today, that person is me... ☺
The power of 3 concept builds on some of my earlier podcasts. You can (re-) listen to them here.

Do I go for a walk or not?
Shall I have a smoothie for breakfast or a porridge bowl?
Do I wear the brown shoes or the black ones?
Exercise; yeah or nay?
And that’s before you arrive at your desk. Then it continues:
What are the top priorities of the day?
Who needs my attention?
Shall I write that email or reconcile my bank account first?
All the decision making that goes into a day, it’s exhausting!
As the day goes on, our decision-making skills go downhill quite fast, and that’s bad for business.
The problem is so common it has a name: ‘DECISION FATIGUE’.
The good news is there’s a simple answer called SELF-AUTOMATION. It takes the decision making out of the small tasks we perform every single day, freeing up our energy.
It works so well I’ve introduced a whole slew of self-automated routines in my personal life and in my business, and I’m sharing them with you on the podcast! 👇
My aim is to inspire you, so you too can start introducing routines to preserve your energy and improve productivity in your business too.

Let’s chat about the tension we experience between our time, our energy and where we put our attention every single day we run our business, shall we!?
Time, Energy, and Attention are called ‘The 3 Elements Of Productivity’ and you get it... THEY ARE IMPORTANT!
When you think about it, as soon as we get either of these three wrong, our productivity takes a hit.
- Not enough time? The stress goes through the roof and we get overwhelmed.
- Not enough energy? We have to drag ourselves out of bed and we feel utterly exhausted.
- No attention or focus? We flounder and get distracted.
None of these are good when your competition is putting on their A-game.
So how do we make sure we get the 3 elements of productivity spot on so we can be as productive as possible in our business?
IT’S PODCAST TIME!👇
You know there’s room for improvement with productivity in your business, but you just haven’t got it in you to drive the process? I’M HERE TO GET YOU THERE! Contact me about my one-on-one business coaching program “The Agency Boss Accelerator” and we’ll do it together, step by step.

What’s your worst nightmare in business?
- Is it a competitor opening next door?
- Is it bankruptcy caused by a totally unreasonable client?
- Or is it a run-over-by-a-bus-scenario where you’re incapable of running the business you’ve worked so hard for?
THE LAST ONE HAPPENED TO ME ONLY A FEW WEEKS AGO.
Lucky for me, I was prepared!
For the last 10 years, I have been working hard on a business that can run without me.
And while it wasn’t a perfect experience, it hit home how important it is to PLAN FOR THE UNPLANNED.
Because, ... I would not want you to find out what it’s like to have the world come crashing down without a plan to keep going.
So with the experience and the trauma fresh in my head, I say we need to have A SHARE-AND-LEARN PODCAST WE CAN ALL BENEFIT FROM!
Feeling daunted, and maybe a little freaked out by the thought of it?
I CAN HELP YOU!
To start contingency planning for your business, or at least plan a holiday, my one-on-one business coaching program “The Agency Boss Accelerator” is the answer. (Seriously, I can help!)

5 years ago, I made a change to my business that resulted in things that, to this day, knock my own socks off. There was no way in the world I thought I could achieve these things. But I did, and with relative ease.
Wanna know how?
I finally committed to making a quarterly plan AND I stuck to it.
I’m not talking about a boring, full-of-nonsense plan. But an actually well thought out plan that gives me and my team focus, drive and maybe most important of all... holds us accountable.
If you think I’m blowing my own trumpet. I’m not.
Because 5 years ago, I borrowed somebody else's quarterly planning guide and changed it to suit my own business.
NOW IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO DO THE SAME.
Scoot over to the podcast and JUST GET STARTED. Because in the end, it’s knowing where to start that’s often the hardest!
•In this podcast, I refer to a previous podcast discussing how to create an Annual Plan.
•I also refer to MIRO, the visual collaboration platform I like to work with (not sponsored)

Jenny Suneson is a straight shooter. Her business, The Savvy Podcast Agency, is very successful, but it didn’t just land in her lap.

Every once in a while, you stumble upon something that changes everything in all the right ways. They are rare gems, but when it happens... FIREWORKS!
For me, one of those moments was when I found out about the Full Focus Planner.
It changed my default setting in business from absolute overwhelm and exhaustion to being in control again. Fully focussed, working toward my business dream knowing that if I kept at it, I would get there!
Guess what? I DID!
So much so that I became a convert and got a Full Focus Planner Pro Certification as soon as it became available.
Now, I like to tell everybody battling the same struggles (and let’s be honest, who doesn’t!?) what a difference it makes!
So go ahead, plug in those earphones and listen to this podcast episode where I tell you all about The Full Focus Planner and how it literally changed my life.

Both had their merits at that particular stage of her business journey.
But as Elizabeth was perfecting her skills, she allowed herself to be guided by her passion for coaching. Her unique niche - working her magic on Kajabi with knowledge-based clients all around the world - just followed as a logical result.
For Elizabeth, the process of becoming an expert in her niche has been fascinating (and riddled with hurdles).
But that didn’t stop this young mum. So... how’s your journey coming together? Have you figured out your perfect niche that is also profitable?
If not, just plug in the earphones and listen to this podcast episode where Elizabeth lifts the veil on how she honed in on brand strategy and Kajabi web design as her business niche.

The challenges of new entrepreneurship...
I may have been in business for 20 years, but I vividly remember those early days. Intense they were.
Talking to Elizabeth Ruth brings it all back like it was yesterday.
• Having to juggle it all. Until it’s clear, you’re becoming the victim of your own success and ACTION is needed.
• Dedicating every hour of your day to your business. Work-life balance? What’s that?
• Acknowledging your strengths and weaknesses and finding out that sometimes all is not as it seems. The secret is ‘courage’.
• Lack of funds, lack of time, lack of help... Oh wait! Maybe I could hire staff and get more revenue and...?
• Allowing yourself the space to figure it out. Including the wins and the disasters. They all lead somewhere. Oh, and... PIVOT!
Sounds familiar? This and many other struggles and challenges are the topic of this podcast.
But also... there’s this one question that may help you more than you know.
So go ahead, plug in those earphones and listen to this podcast episode to find out how Elizabeth let the answer to this one fundamental question guide her to success.

What do you get when you mix absolute frustration with a woman on a mission?
You get a solution that makes a difference.
It’s what happened to me and my business a few years ago. I got very, VERY frustrated with my own lack of focus and the apparent need to constantly sacrifice personal time to get my to-do list done.
SO... I introduced the ‘My Ideal Week’ concept to my business.
It put a stop to the endless context switching and multi-tasking that was burdening my efficiency. My surprise at how something that simple could make so much difference to my productivity was massive!
As to what that means to you, considering you found this podcast, I’m guessing you’re also ready to draw a line in the sand and reclaim your lost time. So go ahead, plug in those earphones and listen to this podcast episode where I take you on the journey to my ‘Ideal Week’, improved efficiency and the end of my frustrations.

IMAGINE...
How good would it feel to get to the end of the year and know that just 12 months earlier you set some big ambitious goals AND YOU ACTUALLY ACHIEVED THEM!? Wouldn’t that be a celebration?
The thing is... it’s actually not that hard if you know how to do it.
As a matter of fact, I set out a BIG goal at the start of every year and subsequently build a plan to get me there.How do I do it? In 6 steps that... of course I’m going to share with you in this podcast and in my blog.
That’s because I believe there is enough for all of us to share around. (As you know, I’m a massive believer in lifting and inspiring each other.)
So head over and find out about the step-by-step framework that breaks down your one BIG goal into practical bite-size tasks. It’ll help you get up in the morning with focus and purpose instead of winging it.
And at the end of the year, you’ll be THAT person who shakes their head in disbelieve at their own achievements!
I’m your biggest encourager and I’m telling you, YOU CAN DO IT!
Now hurry over to the podcast or the blog to find out how!

- Working less while actually getting paid what you’re worth?
- No more scope creep and demanding retainer clients?
- Actually being able to take some time off?
These were the things Sarah Masci REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wanted badly. She was at the point of burning out.
It may be the same for you?
So out of desperation, Sarah offered her return client a day of her time, rather than making a formal business proposal. Little did she know it would be the start of her ‘Journey to Freedom’
It’s the too-good-to-be-true story that only happens to other people.
Or maybe.... It isn’t????!!!!
The shift in Sarah’s business AND her personal life didn’t fail to attract attention from other business owners.
SO... she went on a mission to help them do the same thing!
Sarah definitely had my attention. Obviously, I asked her to join the podcast.
So go ahead, plug in those earphones and listen to this podcast episode where Sarah tells us how she turned her business around so she could have the life she didn’t think she could ever have.

One of the most powerful (but very underestimated) things you can do for your business is to declutter your workspace. Simple as it may sound, it relieves anxiety and stress. It also helps you focus and become more productive. And who’s not up for that?
So how do you do it?
In 3 simple steps.
1.Clear your mind
2.Declutter your desk
3.Organise your digital files
Of course, there’s a bit more to it than that. So I share my own approach and what you need to do to make it work for your business (and your personal life).
So go-ho-ho ahead, make the most of this special time of the year, and let me inspire you about how you can start the new year with a bang on this podcast episode!

Starting an agency can be a scary thing, which is exactly why talking to people who have travelled the road before you is so valuable.

They’ll give you food for thought, for sure.

Jenny Suneson is a straight shooter.
Her business, The Savvy Podcast Agency, is very successful, but it didn’t just land in her lap. I really appreciate that she doesn’t go all woolly about her fears to start an agency. Nor is she sugar-coating the challenges she faced along the way.
It’s very refreshing to get the undiluted story; including the ins and outs of how Jenny runs her agency. It’s the sort of thing very few agency owners will talk about. Yet, it’s invaluable information if you’re thinking about starting an agency yourself, but you’re also utterly terrified to take the dive.
So if starting an agency freaks you out (or if you like looking over the fence at other businesses, like I do), this episode is for you!
Alternatively, you can read all about the ins and outs of starting an agency and Jenny’s personal experience on the Business Your Way blog post here. (Sandrajulian.co/the-fear-of-starting-an-agency)

Gifting done well is an Art.
Many people are all too happy for somebody else to take it out of their hands. That person is Teresa Tripodi from Sherbet Creations.
But don’t be fooled. Teresa’s gift-giving company is nothing like the many gifting e-commerce businesses out there. Gifts from Teresa are an experience. They are unique and they support other women around Australia.
But if not an e-commerce business, then what?
Unlike any other business I’ve ever encountered, Sherbet Creations is a service business with a physical product. This, of course, is in equal amounts fascinating and totally ‘Business Your Way’.
‘Business Your Way’ can mean many things. For instance, it can mean that your business model deviates from what is the norm in your industry. Teresa and Sandra delve into it on the podcast and in the blog, which you can find here. (Sandrajulian.co/an-unusual-business-model)

Ever wondered how you could build a business you can run from anywhere in the world that actually makes some money too?
It’s something Bianca Smith asked as well. She thought about it and then threw herself right at it.
With a background in accounting and the military, she found her niche in the world of VAs or virtual assistants. At first she flew solo, but these days she has a slew of trusted contractors in tow.
She’s wildly successful at it too.
I wanted to know the ins and outs of how she does it. Maybe you do too?
If you’re a (wannabe) Virtual Assistant, keen on running your business from anywhere in the world, then this Business Your Way blog and podcast are for you. (Sandrajulian.co/A-business-you-can-run-from-anywhere)

Many people think of Pinterest as a Social Media Service. It’s not.
Pinterest is a SEARCH ENGINE.
According to Linda Barutha from LindaBarutha.com, there’s power in those pins. It’s a smarter way to drive organic traffic to your website. Her Pin2Win service helps businesses that are not the typical foodie and design companies associated with Pinterest.
I pinned Linda down (pun intended) for a Business Your Way podcast and she was generous enough to explain how you can use Pinterest to gain more leads for your business.
She also sheds some insight into how she runs her busy online service company.
You too can bank on Linda’s knowledge of how you can Pinterest to increase Google ranking on this Business Your Way podcast. (Sandrajulian.co/organic-traffic-on-steroids)

Sahara Leigh calls herself a Soul Alchemist.
She’s the owner of Holistic Mojo, a business entirely focussed on the many facets of the healing world. Sahara uses bodywork, yoga, meditation and Ayurveda to unlock the Rubik’s cube that is our bodies, our beliefs, our health and wellness.
But, as Sahara found out at the start of 2020, an online healing business is not without its headaches. On the one hand, it opened up opportunity she had been dreaming about. On the other hand, she also encountered challenges that put her well outside of her comfort zone.
Most importantly, it created options. Contrary to popular belief, there is not one right way to do business... or marketing.

Teresa Cleveland from Growth Strategies Cafe is an oddity in online business coaching.
In a world that sees many players come and go, Teresa’s business has been around for 13 years and counting.
Teresa puts her success down to her no BS style and common-sense approach. She doesn’t believe in selling hot air. Neither does she believe there is a cookie cutter way to do online business.
Instead, she goes on a one-on-one journey with her clients to help women navigate the twists and turns that come with being your own boss in the online spheres.
Being fairly new to online business myself, of course, I was very interested in what she had to say. So, I went on a mission to get her on the podcast.
It turns out we have a few things in common.

Finding harmony between the responsibilities that come with your business and family can be difficult.
But works for one person doesn’t necessarily mean success for the next. In the end, we’re all very different people and so are our businesses.
As a result, it makes sense that if you want to do ‘Business Your Way’, you’re going to have to be ‘Productive Your Way’.
Personality driven productivity coach Lisa Zawrotny from ‘Positively Productive Systems’ helps people understand how they work best so they can be as efficient as possible while leaving space for what matters in their life.
In this podcast Lisa explains how she uses self-awareness, simplicity and systems to improve productivity YOUR way.It’s like all powerful things in life. Once you see it, you can’t un-see it!

Are you one of the many female entrepreneurs who runs a successful business; only it’s also all-absorbing? Worse, it’s not exactly providing you with the lifestyle you once thought would come with being ‘your own boss’.
In this podcast, we show you how it doesn’t have to be that way. You CAN have a successful business and also have time to spend with loved ones, or money to go on a holiday, or the freedom to go for a run in the morning, or...
See... a successful business anda great lifestyle are not mutually exclusive. As a matter of fact, your business is the vehicle to live the life of your dreams.
How?
Every business owner has a ‘Freedom Metric’, a simple number that helps you set goals and step back to live your ideal life.

Scaling a business is not always as easy as it appears.
Kristen Westcott, Bizz strategist & ops expert, knows all about it. Yet, she’s running her business HER way... with success. Lucky for her, she has all the expertise to know exactly what to do.
I was curious, so I asked her all about it. And she was rather generous in sharing her knowledge and personal experience.
Intrigued?
Maybe you are spending the bulk of your time answering staff questions? Or could it be that you reluctantly have to admit you’re the bottleneck in business growth? Does it make you sad you no longer have time to network and be creative?
If the answer is YES, Kristen is adamant she can help you create the time you’re so desperately craving.

Today we talk to Yvette Mayer.
5 years ago, Yvette Mayer, Marketing guru and Business Coach extraordinaire had a premonition.
She was on the verge of leaving New York, where she had been working. During a conversation with a friend, she stated: ‘Mark my words, I will become a digital nomad. I’ll split my time between a few locations and I’ll come back.’
These days, Yvette runs her business in a way it provides her with freedom of location, freedom of time and financial freedom? Sounds familiar? If you thought it was too good to be true, she’s the living proof it’s not.
She candidly shares the story on the challenges she faced and the solutions she came up with.
Yvette kindly offers her Digital Product Decision Guide for FREE

What if you would never have to feel overwhelmed again by all the 101 things business owners do in a single day?
What if there was a secret formula that helps you organise your thoughts and gives you a framework to work from?
See, I passionately believe your business is the vehicle to create your lifestyle and your legacy. It’s how you create the life you love.
BUT every business still has four non-negotiable elements that require your attention as the business owner.
They are
- Leading the business
- Growing the business
- Doing the business
- Running the business
Within each of these four elements, there are systems. How each of the systems operates is unique to each and every business.
It’s what I call ‘Business Your Way’.
