Your expertise is not a freebie and neither is the long-term cost of undercharging. In this coaching episode, Fiona explores the hidden financial, emotional and strategic impact of pricing yourself too low and why so many small business owners stay stuck there.

From pricing psychology to resentment, visibility and positioning, this episode is a powerful reminder that pricing is not just about money. It’s about how you value your work and how others value it too.

You'll learn:

  • The hidden costs of undercharging beyond just lost revenue
  • Why low pricing can attract the wrong clients and create resentment
  • How to position your business intentionally instead of pricing from fear or self-doubt

In this Quick Tip episode, Fiona introduces the concept of regret minimisation and why it can be one of the most grounding decision-making tools for business and life.

You’ll learn:

  • What regret minimisation really means and where it comes from
  • How to use it when you’re at a crossroads in business or life

In this episode, Fiona unpacks the idea of the “death of the influencer” and what it really means for brands, creatives, and small businesses navigating marketing in a noisy, trust-scarce world.

Rather than chasing reach or hype, Fiona explores the shift toward people of influence, long-term relationships, and values-led visibility — and how brands can rethink influence at every stage of the customer journey.

You’ll learn:

  • Why traditional influencer marketing is losing impact — and what’s replacing it
  • The difference between influencers, content creators, and people of influence (and why it matters)
  • How to identify the real circles of influence for your audience and build lasting trust

This episode is for anyone questioning whether influencer marketing still works — and wanting smarter, more sustainable ways to connect.

In this quick tip episode, Fiona reflects on becoming the parent of a teenager and the surprising parallels between adolescence and building a business.

Teenage years are often framed as difficult or disruptive, but they’re also a time of growth, identity formation, and learning to trust yourself. And as it turns out, that’s exactly what many business owners are navigating too.

This episode explores how the lessons we try to pass on to teenagers, about intuition, values, and discernment, are just as relevant when you’re running a business in a noisy, opinion-filled world.

You’ll learn:

  • Why business can feel a lot like adolescence at times
  • How to balance intuition with data when making decisions
  • Why tuning into your own values matters more than outside noise
  • How to navigate growth and change without losing who you are
  • A simple mindset shift to help you make clearer, more confident choices

This episode is perfect for small business owners, creatives, and anyone feeling pulled in multiple directions and wondering how to stay grounded while evolving.

In this coaching episode, Fiona explores why long-form, thoughtful content is becoming one of the most powerful marketing tools in an increasingly noisy, short-form world.

As attention spans feel fractured and many people step back from constant scrolling, brands that invest in depth, clarity, and trust are standing out more than ever. This episode unpacks why chasing quick hits and trends often leads to burnout and diminishing returns, and how deeper content builds long-term connection, authority, and loyalty.

If you’ve been focusing heavily on short-form content and wondering why it’s not converting, or if you’re feeling exhausted by the pressure to constantly post, this episode will help you rethink your strategy.

Resources:

  • How to Start a Podcast Course
  • How to Get Published in Online and Print Course

You’ll learn:

  • Why audiences are craving depth over noise more than ever
  • How long-form content builds trust, authority, and longevity
  • The role podcasts, newsletters, and thoughtful storytelling play in modern marketing
  • How to repurpose deep content across multiple platforms without burning out
  • Why consistency and substance matter more than volume
  • How to choose one core content platform and make it work harder for your business

This episode is ideal for small business owners, creatives, and marketers who want to create meaningful content that lasts, rather than chasing algorithms and fleeting attention.

In this quick tip episode, Fiona explores why working in 90-day cycles can be one of the most effective ways to make real progress in business and life.

While long-term vision and annual planning absolutely have their place, focusing on the next 90 days can reduce overwhelm, create momentum, and help you take action based on what’s actually happening in your life right now, not what you hope might happen months from now.

If you’re feeling stuck, stretched, or frustrated by big goals that feel too far away, this episode offers a practical and refreshing way to refocus.

You’ll learn:

  • Why 90-day planning feels more doable than annual goal-setting
  • How shorter planning horizons reduce overwhelm and decision fatigue
  • Why working in quarters helps you plan realistically around life, energy, and commitments
  • How to use 90-day cycles to create quick wins and visible progress
  • A simple way to break big goals into weekly, achievable steps
  • How to review and reset every 90 days without guilt or burnout

This episode is perfect for 2026 planning for small business owners, creatives, and anyone who wants to move forward with clarity, focus, and confidence, without trying to plan their entire future all at once.

What if creating a list of what you WON'T do could be more powerful than your goals for 2026? In this coaching episode, I'm diving deep into the concept of your "No List" - a boundary document that could save you time, energy, and money while helping you focus on what actually matters.

We often identify who we are by understanding who we are not, and your No List works the same way. From saying no to coffee meetings during work hours to declining "pick your brain" requests unless people pay for your expertise, this episode will help you create clear boundaries that free you up for bigger opportunities.

You'll discover:
• Why boundaries don't limit you - they free you
• Real examples of what might go on your No List (no more courses, no traveling for speaking gigs, no pretending to be someone you're not)
• How to make your No List specific and actionable
• Why saying no to the wrong things means saying yes to the right ones
• The difference between successful people and really successful people (hint: it's about what they say no to)

Perfect timing as we head into 2026. This isn't about being negative - it's about being intentional with your most precious resources: your time, energy, and attention.

Are you stuck in the hard middle bit of your business wondering if you should keep going or let it go?

In this coaching episode, Fiona breaks down how to tell the difference between a challenge worth pushing through and a dead-end that's wasting your time.

You'll learn practical strategies for navigating the tough times in business, including how to recognize when slow progress is actually progress, when to adjust your tactics without abandoning your vision, and most importantly—when strategic quitting is actually the smartest move you can make.

Fiona shares personal stories about recovering from a serious back injury, building this podcast through multiple setbacks, writing her books, and other challenges that taught her the difference between persistence and stubbornness.

Key topics covered:

  • How to identify if your business challenge is temporary or permanent
  • 5 practical strategies for pushing through difficult periods without burning out
  • The signs that it's time to walk away from something (and why that's not failure)
  • Breaking big goals into manageable milestones when progress feels impossible
  • Why adjusting your tactics is different from quitting your vision
  • The questions to ask yourself when you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed

Perfect for: Small business owners, creative entrepreneurs, and anyone questioning whether their current business challenge is worth the effort.

It's spring in Australia, and Fiona's tackling the weeds in her garden - which got her thinking about the "weeds" that keep growing back in our businesses.

You'll Learn How To:

• Identify the recurring problems in your business that keep coming back like weeds
• Create a seasonal approach to spring cleaning your business (don't try to do it all at once)
• Invest in the right tools and systems to fix problems properly, not just temporarily
• Plant something new once you've cleared out what's not working
• Maintain your business "garden" so the weeds don't take over again
• Turn this into a manageable 3-month process instead of an overwhelming overhaul

We’re always chasing the next goal, aren’t we?

But how often do we stop to take a breath and reflect on how far we’ve come? In this episode, Fiona talks about the power of looking back and forward—using a simple tool called Future Me to help clarify where you’re heading, and to give yourself credit for where you’ve already been.

Fiona shares how she’s used Future Me to set clear goals, reflect on personal growth, and even plan for life milestones—both in her business and her personal life. It’s not just about goals and success; it’s about creating a vision for the future that matters to you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How writing a letter to your future self can give you a fresh perspective and remind you of what truly matters.
  • Why this tool isn't just about business, but also about reflecting on your health, relationships, and personal growth.
  • Fiona’s own experience with Future Me, and how it’s helped her create a vision for her family’s future.
  • How taking a moment to pause and reflect can reframe your mindset and keep you grounded, even during busy times.

Give this episode a listen and see how you can use Future Me to refocus and get clear on where you’re heading—without losing sight of what’s important.

Your business is unique. Your story is unlike anyone else's. And no matter how smart technology gets, it can never replace the heart and soul you bring to the table.

In today’s episode, Fiona Killackey dives into how you can reconnect with what makes your business yours—even in a world that’s increasingly driven by AI. Because while AI can help with tasks, it can never replicate the creativity, the human touch, or the authenticity that makes your brand stand out.

In this episode, Fiona discusses:

  • The truth about AI: it’s a tool, but it’s not a replacement for the personal connection you’ve built with your customers.
  • Why your journey and story are the most powerful parts of your brand—something no machine can imitate.
  • Practical tips for using AI without losing the realness that your audience connects with.
  • How to embrace your individuality and keep your business aligned with your true self.

This episode is all about reclaiming your passion, staying authentic, and using technology as a tool to enhance—not replace—what makes you and your business shine. Tune in as Fiona shows you how to reignite that fire!

Ever feel like you're spinning your wheels in your business? Like you’re working hard but just not getting anywhere? Or maybe you’re questioning if this whole thing is still right for you. You're not alone. In today’s episode, we’re going to dive into those tough moments where everything feels a bit too much.

Fiona Killackey shares three powerful questions that could change how you see your business, your life, and maybe even yourself. These aren’t your usual “how to get more done” tips. She’s talking about questions that help you hit the reset button, figure out what’s really going on, and decide where you want to go from here.

Here’s a sneak peek of what’s coming up:

  • Is your idea of success actually what you want? Or is it time to rethink it altogether?
  • What’s going well in your life right now? It might sound simple, but taking a good look at this could be a game changer.
  • Are you really putting in the effort that counts? Sometimes, we need to ask the hard questions about what we’re actually doing versus what we think we’re doing.
  • And finally, how do you start making real change without feeling overwhelmed by it all?

Ever feel like your business is in need of a little spark?

In today’s episode, Fiona Killackey dives into a topic that’s been on her mind lately. It’s easy to get stuck in the daily grind and forget why you started in the first place. But what if you could reignite that passion and appreciation for your business? That’s exactly what’s happening in this episode.

Fiona shares something that truly inspired her recently—a book called The Flamingo Estate. It’s a coffee table book, but it’s way more than just a pretty piece to decorate your space. It's packed with stories and insights that have made Fiona look at her own business in a whole new light.

Here’s what Fiona will explore today:

  • The importance of loving your business—and how to get back to that spark, especially on tough days.
  • The story behind The Flamingo Estate book and why it’s not just about the aesthetics (though, trust me, it’s gorgeous).
  • How nature, community, and real human stories are at the heart of any successful business—and how you can bring these elements into your own brand.
  • Fiona’s personal reflections on the book’s lessons, and how they’ve made her rethink her approach to storytelling in her own business.
  • Why telling your story in a genuine, real way is one of the best things you can do for your business.

If you’re feeling like your business has lost a little of that magic, or if you need a fresh perspective, this episode is for you.

Peers are so important, it doesn't matter. Even if they're competitors to you. You know, people start from one point and they end up somewhere else completely. So it doesn't really matter. There is enough room for everyone to sort of thrive in that industry."

Do you love your business? You should. Right? Well, sometimes we just don't, it's my hope that this, the My Daily Business Coach podcast, helps you regain a little of that lost love by providing tips and tactics, tools, insights, inspiration, all the good stuff to help you actually enjoy running your business. In addition to actionable tips and tactics that you'll be able to execute immediately, you'll also hear from creative, small business owners around the world who've been able to sidestep the hustle and build a business that merges their passion with their purpose and provides a profit. I'm your host Fiona Killackey, founder of My Daily Business Coach. Let's get going.

Hello and welcome to episode 165 of the My Daily Business Coach Podcast. We are officially into 2022! I hope that you are having a beautiful and happy and safe and healthy new year. And I really, really hope every single person that listens to this podcast, that 2022 is a, just less stressful and overwhelming year than the previous two years have been. So today, it is a quick tip episode, and I'm going to make this really quick because I hope that you are spending some time with loved ones. You know, if you're listening in real-time, on the 4th of January. And so I just wanna give you something to really consider honing on and then get back to the rest of your day. So today, before we get stuck into that, I just want to acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians on the beautiful, beautiful land that I get to live on and record this podcast. The wandering people of the Kulin nation and I pay my respects to their elders past, present, and emerging and acknowledge that sovereignty has never been seated. And I also pay my respects to the elders, past, present, and emerging of any other indigenous or Aboriginal communities that may be tuning in to this podcast. So, as I said, it's a quick tip episode. Let's get stuck in, shall we?

So, as we are into a new year and as somebody who works with thousands of small business owners, I know that this small change in the calendar, this idea of, you know, newness can actually elicit a lot of hope in people and it can feel like it's a fresh slate. "Fresh slate, clean slate." It's a fresh new year and it's a clean slate. And so I know lots of the people that listen to this have, you know, told me about vision boards and their one word and those kinds of exercises that people do. And I absolutely love doing them. I actually have a ritual with my eldest son. He is eight, almost nine, and we sit down and we do our vision boards together. And I was doing mine for years. And then one time he said, "What is that?" And I explained it to him and he said, "I wanna do one. "

And so he's been doing them with me for probably the last four years. And he loves cutting things out and kind of really thinking about what he wants in the year ahead. And he loves, even more, to come back at the end of the year and kind of tick off so many things that happen just weird, sometimes coincidences universe magic, I don't know, but other times, you know, it's things that he's really committed to such as, you know, getting better at basketball or doing more swimming or going for more bike rides or, other things. And I think as a mom, as a parent, it's really beautiful to see what is important to him, what he's prioritizing for the year ahead. So I love, love, love that stuff. But another question that I often ask clients is "What is the one thing?" Now, if you've been listening to this for a while, or you ever worked with me or come to a talk or anything like that, you'll know that I often talk about having three goals, just three, you know, not going crazy into shiny new object syndrome and having these three goals, but within them even, and not necessarily related to the goals, but just what is one thing that you want from 2022, really?

That's the question for you today. To really think outside of everything else, What is just one thing? And for some people, it may seem small. It might be, I want to shop more on Instagram. For example, for other people, it might be a bit bigger. Like I want to launch a data podcast. And if that's you, and you wanna really get into this quick, understand the process, we do have a, how to start a podcast course. And you can find that mydailybusinesscoach.com/shop, but yeah, you know, starting a podcast is a bit more, not necessarily even more work than showing up on Instagram, because it really depends where you are in your life. And this is why it's so important to really hone in on what is your one thing? Like, what is it that you really, really wanna focus on? So I know in 2021, I want to focus on health.

It was a really important thing for me. And I did, I saw a kinesiologist, I saw a Tarot reader. I went to my GP and I got all my checks for heart disease. And I mean, pretty much everything, anything that runs in my family. I said, can we check for that? And surprisingly, everything came up really well. And I was like, oh, okay. Because I had put on quite a bit of weight. I also lost a bit of weight last year. I'm still on that journey. And that's my own journey. I'm not for a minute saying people need to lose weight to be healthy. I don't, I think that you know, I know plenty of people that are thin that are not healthy, so, you know, and vice versa, but I, yeah, really wanted to focus on health. And so I went for more walks. I started meeting friends to go for walks.

And obviously, that also was in line with a lot of the lockdowns that were happening here in Melbourne. But I looked at health from all sorts of perspectives. I looked at putting more time between coaching sessions. I looked at doing three-minute meditations before coaching sessions. I looked at it really, you know, honing in on my end-of-day ritual. All, I looked at laughing a lot with my kids, choosing what I was watching so that, you know, choosing not to spend, you know, the evening scrolling, like horrible stories on the news app. I deleted a couple of news apps. I moved my social media, well and truly to the end of my phone within a folder within a folder. So it is actually quite a chore to get into it. I honed in more on my kind of limits around social media. I already had limits, but I went even further with those.

And so it, wasn't just, I know sometimes people can hear, oh, you know, someone wants to work on their health and, which is really wrong, but we all sort of look at "Oh, they lose weight" or "They're trying to get fitter "rather than look at the whole thing. So I looked at, you know, spiritual health, mental health looking at, you know, things that I'd learned about grief and really working through that more about, you know, losing my parents. So I really looked at health from a really big lens. And, I read a lot of books. I did a couple of trials of, you know, giving up dairy and getting into Oat milk. And yeah, just really looked at a whole lot of things. I started drinking a lot more water, so stretching more, just a lot of things. I started doing a lot more walks without listening to a podcast.

Whereas I usually always listen to a podcast or chat with friends, you know, listen to WhatsApp messages from good friends around the world. And I started just taking my headphones out and just listening - listening to the birds, listening to, you know, just really taking in and soaking in nature. And I know my husband has actually been telling me that for years. So when he exercises, which he does every day, he's very good at that. He, you know, listens to music while he skates. But if he's going for a walk, if he's going for a run, he never listens to anything. He just listens to the sounds around him. And we are so lucky where we live to have beautiful bushland and beautiful nature and animals around us. So, yeah, that was the one thing that I really, really wanted to focus on for 2022 and the business did well.

Other things happened, you know, I, I focused on other stuff as well, but I would say that I can confidently tick off that I really focused in on health and also meant, you know, having, having good conversations with people and turning down clients that I thought were gonna just be a, not a great fit for my own mental health stuff. So I just, I think I really focused in on that and that's gonna be something, you know, obviously, you're gonna work on your health forever, and it's a big part of, you know, 2022 for me as well. But I guess I'm trying to give you that example as a sort of saying, when we think about one thing, it doesn't need to be, you know, one business thing. It could be one living thing that actually then leads into your business. I know that even just, you know, with clients now 2021 was the first year that I brought it into pretty much everyone that I work with and everyone knew coming on to really, you know, take a minute at the start of sessions to, I brought in, you know, a mindset teacher.

I brought in different books in the business book club that were more about health and wellbeing as well as business and money and all those sorts of things. So yeah, I would be asking you as you go into this new year. Yes. It's exciting to do vision boards and get nice, beautiful stationery. I'm a massive stationery addict, so I totally get it and plan and plan and all these great things. But, I would also ask you to think about what is the one thing I want to focus on this year. And it might mean that you know, other things get pushed for a little while, but just really coming back to that again and again and again, and also looking at how can he stay accountable to it. So I know what I'm talking about on this podcast, ah, it's gonna be my year of health.

I had so many people send me DMs, like, “What are you gonna do?” And, you know, it's my year of health too. And I actually made a really good friend from this because I went into a Facebook group and I met an accountability buddy and Sarah who is over in the UK and yeah, got into it. And another good friend Ma who I met in my mastermind and we each keep each other accountable when it comes to health and not just, you know, related to weight, but actual mental health, spiritual health, the whole shebang. So that is today's episode.

What is your one thing going to be? What are you gonna focus on for the next year and maybe beyond, but what is it, what is most important to you? What is the biggest thing that you need to really put attention to this year?

So as always, the show notes for this episode will be available over mydailybusinesscoach.com/podcast/165.
