Ever struggled with setting your prices or felt uncertain about the financial future of your business? You're not alone!
But the reality is that your money mindset, money story and those limiting beliefs walking around with you could be to blame.
So, in today's podcast Justine explores the often-unspoken tales we tell ourselves about money, and how reshaping those stories can revolutionise both our self-perception and business practices.
We're diving into the heart of those financial narratives you might be telling yourself, the power dynamic between fixed and growth mindsets, and how adopting a positive money approach through education and strategic influence can not only avert disaster but also attract prosperity and opportunity.
Finally, Justine tackles how mindset can influence your pricing decisions and why it's time to say farewell to hourly rates and embrace value-based pricing. It's all about value and has nothing to do with worth!
Let's take your money mindset from a source of stress to a pillar of strength as Justine equips you with the confidence to charge your value, stop trading hours for dollar and shift towards a business model that rewards outcomes over output.
So if you're ready to step into a future where your financial acumen is a testament to your business's success, this is the conversation you won't want to miss.

Whether you love it, hate it or you're still on the fence about social media, this week's episode might get you thinking about social media and the way forward.
While I absolutely understand all the pluses, I find social media and the constant need to create content a little overwhelming. And after a conversation with my son, who has the social following to be considered an 'influencer', I'm wondering if social media is simply the game you can't win!
So, in this episode, I'm sharing what is arguably an alternate to social media and maybe the solution your business needs to save you time and money too!

When I decided to sell part of my business back in 2023, I had no clue what was ahead.
From the strategic decisions to the emotional ones, twelve months on I want to share my journey with you, from my exit strategy to burnout and how I've transformed my business narrative.
As I reflect on the evolution of my business philosophy, I maintain that quality, authenticity, and choosing the right clients—my "A-listers"—are the foundational pillars of a robust business.
I hope this episode will inspire my fellow entrepreneurs to remain steadfast to their principles and goals, and for anyone gearing up to sell, I hope my journey before, during and after helps you too.
It's all about your unique definition of success.

Imagine you're navigating a treacherous mountain road, full of twists, turns, and sudden drops. Managing a business with lumpy, unpredictable income can sometimes feel just like that. But what if there were strategies and systems to help you navigate this rocky terrain with grace and ease? Together we will tackle the roadblocks of lumpy income, unearthing the reasons behind it and the effects on your confidence and financial stability.
In our journey, we'll map out your financial landscape, uncovering the importance of understanding your monthly expenses and income, and how this knowledge can be your compass during lean months. We will venture into the crucial realm of emergency funds, instructing you how to start small, and scale up gradually. We'll also set up base camps, in the form of separate accounts for operational income, bills, and an emergency stash.
As we ascend further, we'll explore the peaks and valleys of cash flow management and the steps to build a robust financial foundation for your business. We'll scout the opportunities to diversify your income streams and sharpen your focus on profit rather than turnover. In the quiet of the lull periods, we'll strategise on how to attract customers using effective marketing strategies. Together, we'll conquer the mountain of lumpy income, equip you with the tools and strategies to forecast, save, negotiate, and ultimately make your business journey a triumphant climb rather than a arduous hike.

Running a thriving business and making strides in your industry is busy work. Being tired and stressed comes with the territory. But when you're always tired, stressed, and often on the verge of exhaustion, something has to give and unless you recognise the symptoms and make changes, burnout might be on the agenda.
I didn't read the signs and earlier this year hit the proverbial business brick wall. I had no choice but to take a step back. I pulled the pin on my course launch and was forced to take restock of how I ran my business.
As we head into the end of another year, I thought it was timely to share my personal journey of recognising and addressing burnout.
In this episode, I take a deep-dive into the challenges of balancing business ownership and personal life and underlining the necessity of prioritising self-care. And with the busy holiday season just around the corner, it's important to remember to stop, smell the roses and enjoy some time just for you. Taking that well-deserved break now can help you come back with renewed vigour and passion for your business in 2024.
So, if your business feels like the marathon that never ends and you're constantly pushing yourself to the edge of burnout, let's shift the narrative. Take a listen as I explore resilience and sustainability in business - not just surviving but thriving. I'm sharing strategies like setting boundaries, delegating tasks, and creating a support system - all aimed at building your business while keeping your sanity intact. It's time to reframe your entrepreneurial journey. It’s not just about pushing forward, it’s about pulling back when needed too.
Tune in and get inspired to prioritise your well-being for the health of your business. We're in this together, one step at a time.

If I had a dollar for every business owner not paying themself superannuation, I’d be a rich woman indeed. There are lots of reasons why business owners choose not to pay themselves super and believe me I’ve heard them all. But here’s the thing, if you’re under 60 and a business owner in 2023 and you’re not paying yourself super, then come retirement, you need to hope that you can sell your business for a pretty penny, you win lotto or come into money, or the government suddenly decides to pay a decent amount for the pension. And honestly, chances of it being the latter are slim.
Bottom line, if you want to retire on a modest income and be ok, then you need to be paying super. In this episode, I’m diving into superannuation in Australia and sharing the basics.
Now, I’m no super expert and I don’t know your personal financial circumstances, so it goes without saying that before acting on anything you learn in today’s episode, you contact your accountant or financial planner for more advice.

Episode 100! I can’t quite believe it, but here we are, two years, 100 episodes, some incredible chats with some beautiful business women, all proud to stand in their definition of success, all with an interesting startup story and all prepared to offer you, my amazing listeners, their sage advice.
When I was planning this episode, I wanted to do something special, so I invited three very special women in my life, Magdaleen Kelly, Rebecca Saunders and Hayley Hoile to chat about something we all agree is central to female lead business and that’s Collaboration, Community and the power of Connection.
In this podcast we’re sharing our thoughts on the tops, but each of my special guests is sharing how working with other women in business has helped them grow their business to what it is today.
Here’s a little more about each guest:
Rebecca Saunders – the one and only video Ninja, champion of women in business and a wonderfully wise business woman. Rebecca has a way of looking at a situation with a completely different light and her take on my business sale gave me the courage to negotiate a better deal, bite the bullet and sell part of my business. Rebecca's new venture for 2023, The Champagne Lounge, of which I’m a proud member, is the essence of exactly what we’re talking about today.
Get in touch with Rebecca via Instagram or on the website.
Magdaleen Kelly - aka Mags is a trusted friend and truly one of the good humans. Mags has an incredible bookkeeping and compliance business specialising in Xero solutions for small business; she’s one of those tech, puzzle solving gurus we all need on our team. Need a Xero health check, Aquavantage is the place to go.
Get in touch with Magdaleen via Instagram or on the website.
Hayley Hoile – if you need an online business manager, admin, social media or website solution then Hayley is your go-to gal; she just gets it! Hayley is a connector, a woman in business who genuinely cares about making a difference and who is happy to support and connect business owners as she goes. And if you need some handy social media templates, Hayley does that too, you’ll find more information here.

Money stories? Are they really a thing and do they really impact your business?
Everywhere you look, whether it’s on TV, social media or the internet, there’s talk about money, interest rates, doom, gloom, what might happen when. The result? Triggers left and right, customers not showing up and buying, purse tightening, you get the picture. And that’s where the dreaded money story rears its head.
Honestly, up until about 10 years I didn’t know it was even a thing but after a friend suggested I do this quiz from Kendall Summerhawk to help battle my own money demons, I realised there might be something in it. I weighed up the pros and cons and started to make some much needed money changes.
So, what’s your money story and how is it impacting your business? Dive into today’s episode where I share all about it. Oh and if you liked the quiz above and want to do another one, here’s one by arguably Kendall’s top student Denise Duffiled Thomas.

When I hit record on the first episode of this podcast back in March 2021, I recorded an episode called Pricing – Get it right and make more money in your business. It’s still one of my most popular episodes.
And with everything going on in business right now, I thought it was about time I jumped in and updated that episode with my 2023 tips around the subject. I’ve been working with business owners for many, many years now and one of the things that every business owner struggles with is pricing, let alone creating the perfect pricing for their business.
But here’s my secret, pricing is my superpower, I always say, give me 90 minutes, your business numbers and tell me what success means to you and we’ll craft your perfect prices, or at the very least, I’ll share with you where you need to price your product or service to get the results you want.
Is it time you made more money in your business? Join the Business Money Formula waitlist now.

Freaked out by your business finances? Frantic when it comes to end of quarter compliance, tax time got you in a cold sweat? If you can relate, you’re not alone. Most business owners find the financial side of their business overwhelming, confusing and probably on the, never to do list.

So, over the last 20 plus years, I’ve focussed on the finance, become a registered BAS agent, worked in insolvency and now I work with other business owners on building financially strong and successful businesses.

At the end of January 2023, I sold part of my business. Yes, you heard right, part of my business. As a deliberate multi-passionate business owner I made it possible through years of deliberate strategy, setup and systems and processes.
And while some business experts will tell you that having too many fingers in too many business pies is a no-no, for me, it’s worked. Now as we roll into 2023, I can focus on a passion project I’ve been working on in the background for far too long.
Want to know how I sold part of my business and still continue to make money? Tune in to today’s episode where I share all the details.

The idea started for this podcast on a walk in early January 2023. I was catching up on some podcasts I usually tune into and there were a whole lot of incredible women sharing their 22 lessons from 2022. I’d seen a bit of this on socials at the end of 2022 but couldn’t quite piece together the 22 lessons with the year 2022. Yep I know a little slow on the uptake but I worked it out eventually.
Anyway, it got me thinking about what my lessons would have been for 2022 had I decided to record a podcast of my own. Then I thought, why not pull together the 23 tips and life-lessons to live by I would share with myself for the year ahead. The result, a newsletter that went out to my subscribers and caused a flurry of emails. From subscribers asking for permission to print the tips, laminate them and stick them on their fridge, to requests for more detail or asking me to record a podcast on the topic, here’s the result.
I hope these 23 tips for 2023 will set you and your business up for success over the coming year, and I’d love to know what you would add to the list, or your biggest takeaway. Shoot me an email hello@flossi.com.auTake care and talk soon.

If you've been watching or listening to the news as we head into 2023 and you feel a little stress, it makes sense. It seems there's no good news around right now.
Unfortunately, all that noise, life, work and the constant pressure to keep going can lead to anxiety, overwhelm and overthinking. Continuous stress impacts sleep and activity levels and can cause illness and often an inability to function at the top of your game. It’s a common problem for many business owners, especially those running a solo operation and trying to be everything to everyone. So, how can we break the cycle?
Today’s guest, internationally renowned speaker and meditation teacher and founder of The Broad Place Jacqui Lewis has created the 14 day mind cleanse to help us on the way. It’s an achievable program using simple techniques to help clear out the mental clutter and introduce calm and positivity back into every day. In this episode, Jac is going to share some tips and techniques that we can use right now to help transform our lives.

What's your new year's resolution? Would you be brave enough to pack up your life, embrace your fear and hit the road?
This episode was the most downloaded in 2022, and my guest, Jodi Wilson shared the story of how an off the cuff remark from her husband at a school concert turned into a life-changing adventure. Jodie and her family of six left the frenzy of juggling city commutes, school drop-offs and extracurricular activities behind, Jodi and used their hard-earned house deposit, to buy a car and caravan. They hit the road and began an unforgettable road trip around Australia.
So, if you need some motivation heading into the new year, take another listen as Jodi shares what she learned in the days, weeks and months when small steps and brave choices touched each and every day. A yoga teacher, writer and photographer, Jodi’s best-selling book Practising Simplicity is visually beautiful and gives us all unflinching encouragement to let go of the unnecessary and celebrate the simple yet extraordinary joys that make life meaningful.
Jodi also shares:
Tips for freelancers, digital nomads and creatives running a business from home;
- Tips when travelling with four kids
- What living simply really means and how to incorporate it into your everyday;
- Why selling up and consciously deciding to live a slower life can lead to happiness; and
- How to embrace your definition of success without apology.

Over the last eighteen months there’s been a sea-change around personal finance, especially for women. Perhaps it’s in part thanks to the influence of the “Finfluencers”, but I’d like to think it’s because we’ve decided to put on our big girl pants, become better educated around money and create our own independent and successful financial future.
Today’s guest has been at the forefront of personal financial education for years, and her signature course, Financial Adulting Plan, has now generated more than one million dollars in sales. Definitely not a Finfluencer, ex-accountant and ex financial planner Mel Browne has been causing quite a storm of late with her sometimes controversial views around women and money. Today she’s sharing her wisdom and her tips for achieving personal financial success on your terms. And for all of those business owners tuning in, we’re also going to chat about understanding our money story and how that can impact the success or failure of your business.
Oh, we also dive into online course creation and how to make it a success.
Want to avoid debt and learn how to get out of it? Tune into Mel’s free webinar here.
Discover the secret the wealthy know about savings, cash in the bank and paying off your mortgage. Mel’s running a free webinar here.

Like the ex that broke your heart, the frenemy that just seems to always turn up at the same events as you or the schmoozing uncle from Bridget Jones Diary you'd rather avoid, we've been dancing around the R word, the Recession we might have to have, for the last few months.
Considered an unavoidable part of the business cycle, it seems that Australia has gone through a recession pretty much every ten years or so since the 70s, I'm including the global financial crisis of the noughties in there too. Add the pandemic, and the economic fallout for business owners subjected to lengthy lockdowns over the last two years, and a recession in 2023 might just be the final nail in the coffin for many small business owners.
But rather dwell in the negative, in this episode, I’m sharing strategies that will help prepare your business for the likely new year recession. Ever the optimist, I’m hopeful it won’t come to that, but better be prepared and give yourself and your business the best chance to survive through the trying times ahead.

One of the things I love most about being in business is the kick-arse women I get to work with every day. Today’s guest, Emma Blomfield is right at the top of that list.
Emma was on the podcast back in episode four when we spoke about all things business, but we’ve been working together for around almost three years now.

Are you limping to the finish line of 2022? Wondering why you started your business and if that vision of success will ever come true? Have you spent more time this year working in your business and need some time working on the business?
If that's you, or you've thought about engaging a business consultant or strategist at some time, in this episode, I'm sharing exactly how you can become your own business consultant. We'll cover general business planning and then take a deep-dive into all of those other areas of business you might have put on the side-line this year. From ascension models to calculating profit margins and how to shake things up if your current business strategy is no longer working.
This is how I typically work with my clients, so grab a paper and pen and let’s dive in.

Do you pay yourself a wage?
It’s a question I ask every business owner I work with and the most common answer is a resounding NO, particularly for those female lead businesses.
There seem to be a lot of reasons why business owners don’t pay themselves a wage, and I’ve heard them all. From the business can’t afford it or I withdraw cash from the business account when I need it, to I’m not really sure what to pay myself so I don’t bother.
But by far the most common answer is, 'I’m a sole trader, I don’t have to pay myself a wage'. There are lots more, and while all of those reasons are fair enough, today I’d like to share why you should pay yourself a wage and a few home truths about the consequences when you don't. So, if you’re in the non-wages camp or you've been toying with the idea of paying yourself a wage, tune into today's episode where I hope to convince you that paying yourself a wage is important and should be on the opt of your to-so list.

Welcome to part two of my chat with author, writer and keynote speaker Summer Land. Today we're talking about sleep and who doesn't need more of that, or in my case better sleep.
Before Summer moved to Australia, she'd always been a great sleeper. But the move and inevitable stress of such a huge life event soon found Summer struggling to sleep and when she did, the sleep quality wasn't great. In an endeavour to 'fix the problem', Summer turned to medication and as she shares, soon became a closet sleeping pill addict. But the pills didn't help and the more she took, the worse her sleep, her mood and her health; something had to give.
As a writer and researcher, Summer did what she does best and tackled the problem of sleep, and in this episode, Summer shares what she's learned and the practices she uses to help get a good night's sleep.
In this episode, you'll learn :
1. The importance of sleep for overall health and well-being
2. The impact of sleep on emotional health
3. The impact of sleep on productivity and success

Summer Land is an author, writer and keynote speaker and when I first approached her to appear on the podcast our plan was to chat about the art of ghostwriting. I soon learned that Summer is also an expert on sleep, so what started out as one episode has turned into a two-parter.
In part one of my chat with Summer, we talk about Summer's love of story telling, writing essays and short stories, and how it eventually lead to a career as a professional ghost writer. Now Summer helps industry leaders and business owners with something to say tell their story.
In this episode, you'll learn :
1. What a ghostwriter does and how does the process works;
2. How you can become a ghost writer or get that book published;
3. How to find clients who will want to work with you.
So, if you've ever thought about writing a book for yourself or as a ghost writer, here's how it's done.
In part two of our chat, Summer and I dive into how to get a good night's sleep. It's a goodie!

When it comes to an offer, an event or an invitation, how do you respond?
Are you the person who says yes immediately, is up for anything and never regrets the decision, or are you the person who says yes and then goes into panic mode. Your anxiety levels dial up a gear and you waste a whole chunk of time and energy trying to work out how to get out of the event or the situation you’ve just put yourself into?
If you're an instant yes person but live to regret it, or you need to work on your boundaries, then join me as I dive into the art of saying no with grace.

In this episode you will learn:
- How our subconscious mind impacts the way we approach our business
- How to connect and align with our higher selves to achieve success
- The five things that are standing in our way when it comes to achieving our biggest months in business

"The subconscious mind always wants the path of least resistance." - Rebecca Haydon
Rebecca Haydon is a mindset and business coach, attraction, marketing queen, hypnotherapist and NLP expert and podcast host of The Rebecca Hayden Show. Rebecca specialises in helping ambitious and passionate female entrepreneurs step into their superpower, create unstoppable confidence, and grow their empire. Her mission, to help business women show up as the expert and sign consistent clients. She guides her clients to rewire their subconscious thoughts and create powerful behavioural changes so they can reach their business goals and step into their superpower.
Rebecca says...
'I think one of the biggest things standing in our way when it comes to achieving success is ourselves. Our subconscious mind is always searching for safety and comfort, and sometimes that can hold us back from taking risks or stepping into new territory. It's important to become aware of our limiting beliefs and work on shifting them so we can move forward and achieve our goals. Knowing what we want and being specific about it can also help our subconscious mind align with our desires and help us take the steps needed to achieve them'.

What’s a lead magnet, should you be using them as a tool to grow your business, and are they really worth the time and effort?
Personally, I love a great lead magnet. It’s a way of providing your ideal client a valuable tool to help them in their life or business, and in return you get the email address of a warm lead that you can nurture and turn into a raving fan.
Lead magnets can provide a snap shot of your services and show your ideal client how you can help them on their business or life journey. And given that warm, nurtured leads are more likely to buy from you, I absolutely think they’re worth the investment. But rather than take my word for it, today I’m bringing in an expert.
Angie Martin founder of the Growth Manager specialises in digital marketing and in this episode we’re going to talk about the power of lead magnets and why they should absolutely be part of your marketing strategy.

How good would it be if we started a business and the clients just appeared, no effort required. Arguably, one of the easiest ways to market your business is via one to one connection with your ideal customer and once upon a time, with a new networking event to attend every other week, it was possible to share your business with prospective clients easily. However, the pandemic put the kibosh on events and for the most part, opportunities to network have been few and far between, and honestly, I thought the virtual stuff was done.
So, I was intrigued a few weeks ago when Claudia Neal-Shaw from Candour Consulting, hosted a virtual connection event that included a couple of my friends. I immediately reached out to Claudia and asked her on the podcast to share what it’s all about and why she decided to host these regular events.

Hustle culture! If you’re a regular listener you’ll know how much I dislike the concept. But not buying into it, is one of those things I have to actively work at every single day because it’s so easy for me to say yes to everyone and everything and before I know it I’m booked out, stressed out and the hustle almost does me in. I’m wishing the weeks away to get beyond the latest work load, all of my own doing I might add. Anyone else, or is it just me?
For that reason, I’m always interested in what other entrepreneurs do in their business, how they manage their schedules, workloads and what they do when the energy starts to wane.
Today’s guest, business coach Kristy Robinson, helps business owners scale and build sustainable business through strategy and systems. In this episode we’re talking about business overwhelm, what to do when you can no longer fit it all in, you’re overworking, undercharging and simply treading water. So if you’re booked out and stressed out or you’ve fallen out of love with your business stay tuned.

Freaked out by your business finances? Frantic when it comes to end of quarter compliance, tax time got you in a cold sweat? If you can relate, you’re not alone. Most business owners find the financial side of their business overwhelming, confusing and probably on the, never to do list.

Like the ex that broke your heart, the frenemy that just seems to always turn up at the same events as you or the schmoozing uncle from Bridget Jones Diary you’d rather avoid, we’ve been dancing around the R word, the Recession we might have to have, for the last few months.
Considered an unavoidable part of the business cycle, it seems that Australia has gone through a recession pretty much every ten years or so since the 70s, I’m including the global financial crisis of the noughties in there too. Add the pandemic, and the economic fallout for business owners subjected to lengthy lockdowns over the last two years, and a recession could not have come at a worse time.
For many business owners either starting to recover from the impacts of Covid or still struggling with the aftermath, a likely recession might just be the straw that breaks the proverbial camel’s back.
But rather dwell in the negative, in this episode, I wanted to share some strategies that may help recession ready your business. So, dive in and take a listen to my tips to recession ready your business.

Are you good with money, got your sh*t together or is it a constant struggle? For most people money and personal finance aren’t on the top of the to-do list. Finance can be boring, complicated and often we think we’ll never get a handle on it, so it’s easier to forget it altogether than confront it. But the reality is, when it comes to women and finance there’s still a massive financial gap in salaries, super, investments and pensions and that gap will be felt for a lifetime, literally. Something needs to change!
Molly Benjamin, founder of Ladies Finance Club,is on a mission to do just that. Living the life in London and with a great job working in the financial sector, Molly is the first to admit that she wasn’t that great with money. A trip to the supermarket and a desperate call to a friend because she didn’t have the cash to pay the bill and Molly knew she needed to get her act together. So, over a glass of prosecco with her gal pals and a frank discussion about money, Molly had an epiphany. They were all a bit clueless about money and if that was the case for them, then maybe it was true for other women.
Since that day, Molly has educated herself on all things personal finance. Although she claims to be no expert on the subject, Molly has created a community that helps women under the ins and out of personal finance and improve their money situation. Today we’re talking tips, tricks and hacks to get your personal finances back on track.
Plus, for all those business owners tuning in, there’s a mic-drop moment around business that you don’t want to miss.

It’s the year 2022 where every day brings change and anything still seems possible. However, despite the possibilities, women continue the fight to close the gender pay gap and for a place at the table in boardrooms, senior management and on the political stage. Gender bias and inequality continue in many countries and within business. And so it comes as no surprise that women, the big losers when it came to employment cuts during covid, are also leading the way in the great resignation – the year’s new buzz word for leaving the workforce and pursuing your dreams.
While women are embracing their power and starting businesses at a greater rate than ever before, one thing remains. Women are also more likely to buy into the idea that positive thinking, daily meditation, and simply wishing for abundance will solve their problems and create their dream-life scenario. In fact many women are opening their wallets in addition to their minds and making today’s abundance and manifestation coaches very wealthy indeed.
Whether you’re into the woo-woo or more pragmatic, I know that today’s guest will make us all take pause and question how we apply critical thinking to our business and our lives.
Annie McCubbin is a critical thinking expert. An actor, writer, director, corporate communication consultant and coach and founder of coup, a business specialising in organisational and professional development. Annie’s latest book Why Smart Women Make Bad Decisions is receiving praise around the world. In this episode Annie shares her thoughts on critical thinking and how we can balance the woo-woo with the analytical to achieve our dreams.

Annie’s new book Why Smart Women Make Bad Decisions is available now from all good bookstores.

As we head into a new financial year, the pandemic has taken a back seat to world events and local natural disasters. Both are impacting our daily lives. There’s food and energy shortages and as inflation increases, so does the cost of living and the cost of doing business.

We’re taking a detour from regular programming today to discuss a subject that is still considered taboo in many cultures. It used to be referred to as “change of life” when I was growing up and it certainly wasn’t discussed in public. Now it’s known as the M word.
While we’re happier to have an open conversation about perimenopause and menopause there’s still very little information around that’s digestible or helpful. The rabbit hole that is Dr Google can be misleading and symptoms can be mistaken for other health issues. As someone who is in the menopause years, I can attest to the feelings of loneliness and frustration as weight gain, hair loss, night sweats, constant tiredness and mood swings took hold.
Today’s guest Shelly Horton is a presenter on Channel Nine, writer for Nine Honey and one of Australia’s favourite MCs. Shelly is also the founder of Shellshocked Media. She’s outgoing, fun and full of energy. So it was a shock to fans when she began to share her journey with Peri, her symptoms, struggles and those raw behind the scenes moments that most of us would rather keep private.
In this episode we’re diving into the M word; the symptoms, treatments and unexpected rollercoaster that is perimenopause.

A decision to outsource your business finances, whether that’s day-to-day bookkeeping or your end of financial year tax return, should give you peace of mind and the confidence that the finances are under control. However, as we approach the pointy end of the financial year, business owners often shine a spotlight on their finances and the financial partners they’ve hired to help them out.
So, what should you expect from your business finance partner, and when things aren’t working out, what’s the next step?

Over the last eighteen months there’s been a sea-change around personal finance, especially for women. Perhaps it’s in part thanks to the influence of the “Finfluencers”, but I’d like to think it’s because we’ve decided to put on our big girl pants, become better educated around money and create our own independent and successful financial future.
Today’s guest has been at the forefront of personal financial education for years, and her signature course, Financial Adulting Plan, has now generated more than one million dollars in sales. Definitely not a Finfluencer, ex-accountant and ex financial planner Mel Browne has been causing quite a storm of late with her sometimes controversial views around women and money. Today she’s sharing her wisdom and her tips for achieving personal financial success on your terms. And for all of those business owners tuning in, we’re also going to chat about understanding our money story and how that can impact the success or failure of your business.
Oh, we also dive into online course creation and how to make it a success.
Want to avoid debt and learn how to get out of it? Tune into Mel’s free webinar here.
Discover the secret the wealthy know about savings, cash in the bank and paying off your mortgage. Mel’s running a free webinar here.
Join in on the next round of Financial Adulting Plan here. It’s life changing! And here’s some bits Mel prepared just for you!

How many hats do you wear everyday? Mum. Business owner. Partner. Friend. The list goes on. It’s no wonder we feel exhausted, stretched too thin, helping everyone but ourselves most of the time.
Today’s guest Lisa Corduff found herself in this exact position and was sick of it; something had to change. Rather than give up and in the middle of a life-changing family crisis, Lisa leaned into what she was feeling and began to ask herself one question.
In this episode of the podcast, Lisa is going to share the one simple hack she discovered that changed her business and her life. It’s something she uses every time she feels overwhelmed and it’s a game changer. We’re also talking about the seasons of business; why it’s important to recognise them, lean in and walk through them with grace.
Lisa Corduff started her business using free email and sending recipes to her subscribers. Today she runs a seven-figure business and has helped thousands of women not only feed their families but upgrade their mindset, get ‘unstuck’ and change the stuff that’s not working in their lives.
Lisa’s new audio series 30 Days 30 Ways to Make Life Easier is available now over on her website.

Freaked out by your business finances? Frantic when it comes to end of quarter compliance, tax time got you in a cold sweat? If you can relate, you’re not alone. Most business owners find the financial side of their business overwhelming, confusing and probably on the, never to do list.

Business is all about community. Like-minded business owners supporting one another and cheering one another on. It’s about collaborating, sharing and working together rather than in competition.

How does selling, or more specifically, selling your products or services make you feel?
Are you a master at delivering the perfect sales pitch or does the thought of selling make you squirm? Apart from the finances, selling is one of the most overlooked areas of business. You’d be surprised how many business owners shy away from the sale, and it’s often the biggest challenge they’ll face in their day-to-day business.
But without selling it’s almost impossible to create a sustainable and successful business. So, where’s the sweet spot for those business owners who need to master the art of selling but absolutely hate the idea?
Today’s guest, Katy Prince, is selling royalty, yep pun intended. Katy is a Squirm-free sales coach, ethical copywriting expert and founder at the Squirm Free School of Business. Katy helps service-based business owners master the art of squirm-free selling so they can increase their revenue and sustainability by embracing an ethical and authentic sales strategy. It’s selling without the ick or the apologies!
Connect with Katy and sign up for her 2023 Sales Academy over at the Squirm Free School of Business here or connect with Katy directly and visit her personal website here. I’m told she writes a pretty mean newsletter and Sunday Slice is definitely one to opt in to.

According to Forbes magazine, 42 per cent of all small business owners are experiencing burnout.
It makes sense. There's a lot going on in the world and running a small business is harder now than ever before. Costs are high, money is tight and time, well, there's just not enough of it. But despite it all, small business is back in style. We're opting into the great resignation, following our dreams, starting side-hustles and choosing to create a life and business on our terms.
And that's why managing the financial side of small business is more important than ever before, but let's be honest, the numbers aren't sexy and at times can be tricky. Honestly, for most business owners, the numbers are totally overwhelming and probably on the, never to do list. But after running a profitable business for the last 20 years and helping countless clients do the same, I want to help you build a more profitable and successful business too. It all starts with a few simple finance hacks and I thought I'd make it fun and create a challenge.
The One Month To Better Business Finance Challenge is for small business owners who want to build a thriving business. Through a series of daily emails, I'm delivering 20 of the best business finance tips around. So if your business finance makes you feel blah, join the challenge and find the aha moment that will change your business for the better. The challenge starts now. Learn more.

Hey there and welcome to episode 50 of the podcast. It’s officially the one year anniversary of Secrets of Successful Business and I can’t quite believe that I’ve now delivered 50 episodes.
I wanted to do something special to celebrate ep 50 and so I’ve created a challenge. If you’ve been listening for a while or you follow me on social media, you’ll know that I’m all about helping business owners create better, more profitable businesses that fit into their definition of success.
So, if you’re up for it, I’d love you to jump into the challenge and spend the next month with me doing better business. The one month to better business finance challenge is, as the name suggests, focused around the numbers. We’re going to start by determining your definition of business success. It’s a holistic approach where we consider your business and your life. How do you want your business to impact your time, your family and your hip pocket? From there, we’ll dive into focused, practical strategies that you can easily implement to improve your business, particularly on the finance front.
I’m sharing 20 strategies in total across 30 days, and each strategy will be delivered via email. At the end of 30 days, I believe you’ll see a tangible difference in your business. It might be peace of mind because you feel more knowledgeable about the financial side of your business. However, it might also equate to dollars in the bank, more clients or a more efficient and profitable business.
To get involved head across to www.flossi.com.au/challenge. It’s free and designed with you, the business owner in mind.
Enjoy and please reach out and let me know your results via email hello@flossi.com.au or send me a DM on Instagram.

As women in business, our mindset, the way we think, what we believe about our business and ourselves has a direct impact on how we run our business, the decisions we make, how we approach our clients and how we view our success. So often we struggle with self-doubt, and we allow a scarcity mindset to take over. Rather than our lack of ability, it’s our limiting self-belief that gets in the way.
Today’s guest, Founder of Holistic Image Coaching Claire Gorman, is a women’s empowerment coach who is passionate about helping women transform and live the life they so deserve. We’re going to talk about mindset, abundance and how clearing subconscious beliefs can help transform your life and your business.

What would you do if life threw you a major curveball? How would you navigate it? For anyone struggling right now, this episode is a must listen.
Today’s guest Briony Benjamin, was diagnosed with cancer at 31, and to use Briony’s words, she suddenly became the lead character in a film she didn’t want to be in. Unlike her counterparts in PS I Love You or A Walk to Remember, there was no cheesy love story to sweeten the deal, just one big life detour that none of us would choose.
Rather than let this life-changing moment defeat her, Briony did what she knew best, turned the camera on herself and started documenting her journey. Her video 'You Only Get One Life' went viral. Then, during lockdown in 2020, she also wrote her first book, 'Life is Tough, But So Are You'. It’s a guide for anyone navigating tough times in their life and needing some wisdom from someone whose been there, done that.
Tune in to episode 19 and hear first hand how Briony kicked cancer's butt and get her tips for navigating those tough times. @murdoch
Connect with Briony here. Her new book Life is Tough But So Are You is available now from all good book sellers.

I’m Justine McLean, owner of Flossi Creative, business coach and mentor, content creator, registered BAS agent and now podcaster. With a background in small business, publishing and insolvency, I’m not your run of the mill business coach. I work with women in business who are tired of working on their business 24/7 but find they have nothing to show for it. They want to do more than just survive, they want to thrive. In a nut shell, I help women in business charge what they’re worth, take control of their expenses and make more money.
For the last five years, my mission has been to help as many business owners as possible and I want to let you in on the short-cuts. So, I created this podcast to do just that. It’s for business owners, entrepreneurs, side-hustlers as well as those just starting their business journey.
Join me as I chat to seasoned and inspirational business owners, entrepreneurs and experts about their businesses. We’ll take a sneak-peek behind the curtain as they share their business journey - how they started and what they’ve learned along the way – the ups and downs, the successes and the failures.
Of course, I’ll also ask them for the secret sauce when it comes to creating a successful business.
We’ll share business secrets, talk tips and strategies for solving those pain-points and exactly how to create a streamlined and profitable business. We’ll also talk avoiding the overwhelm, working smarter not harder, mindset and the challenges of fitting it all in with the demands of today’s busy lifestyle.
It’s been just over 20 years ago since I opened my first small business with my hubby and I’ve been a small business owner ever since. In my opinion, there’s no better business education than learning on the job as a business owner. It’s been fun and exhausting and I wouldn’t trade a minute.
Along the way, I’ve discovered practical, tried and tested solutions and strategies that solve just about every business pain-point you can imagine, and I want share that knowledge with other purpose-driven, like-minded women through interviews, stand-alone episodes and the resources available on my website flossi.com.au.
I’m thrilled you stumbled across the Secrets of Successful Business podcast. I can’t wait to See you in episode one, let’s get started sharing.

Want to know the best kept secret of successful business? It’s pricing! So, are you pricing your products and services and making the money that you and your business deserves? If the answer to that question is ‘no’, or it’s something you’d like to get better at, then join me as I talk through pricing 101. In this short, sharp episode, I’ll cover why you need to get it right and what you need to consider when you’re deciding on a price for your product or service.
Knowing what to charge your customers can be one of the biggest blocks for business owners and it’s one of the most common concern my clients have. In my experience, it’s one of the main reasons businesses don't make the money they need to thrive. It’s time to stop earning less than you deserve - start charging what you’re worth and create the successful business you deserve.
