Business Bites with Bonnie: Recent Episodes
Bonnie Wix
A podcast for busy fempreneurs who are ready to get off the hamster wheel and gain confidence and clarity to shine in business. I'm Bonnie Wix, a business clarity coach who works with clients all over the world to clarify their brand, hone their message, and streamline their biz. In this podcast, I will ramble about all the areas you can get stuck in an overthinking cycle - from branding, marketing, and management, to mindset. Each month we will have amazing guests who will talk about their journey and share insightful tips to make your business a place in which you thrive not just survive.
I'm not the biggest fan of goals - listen to last week's podcast. Goals are soo masculine and rigid. However, when it comes to business, having goals and measurements of success are essential. You need to understand what income you are aiming for, what resources you need for that, and forecasting which months may be bigger or smaller. Once these targets are set you then need to track, measure, and re-assess.
So what targets should you be setting?
- Gross revenue per month
- Estimated cost and resources each month
- Profit and freedom target
- Profit margins per service, contract, or product
Not a target as such but Cashflow is king
Ways to hit your financial targets
- Increase your revenue
- Decrease your overheads and costs
Increase revenue
There are 4 methods to increase revenue
- Increase the number of customers you serve
- Increase the average size of each transaction
- Increase the frequency of transactions
- Raise your prices - you should have a strategy-backed policy on price rises setting when and how much they will go up
When looking for major growth, I always recommend weekly money meetings.
Get professional help- bookkeeper, accountant, financial planner, marketer, marketing strategy, FB ads specialist etc

Last week I discussed a social media trend I loved - word of the year. This episode we will discuss a social media trend I disagree with - 2023 being your best year. Hint - 2023 doesn't have to be your best year and best shouldn't equate to More.
Sometimes life happens and we have natural contractions and retreats. So instead of going into 2023 thinking it is going to be the best. Go into 2023 with some tips and tricks to make the best of it no matter what life or business throws your way.
In this episode we will discuss:
- How to make the best of 2023
- Why society thinks better equals more
- Well wishes for the future year
I hope you get massive value from this podcast. If you want more value, come follow me at insta on @two.of.coins
I was soo happy to see a new trend on social media where we picked a word for the year. I am super passionate about this topic and think that a word of the year can be a powerful tool for change.
In this episode we will discuss:
-
- Why a word of the year is a good focus
-
- How to harness it for the maximum potential
-
- Why I think traditional goals suck

Episode Description
Have you noticed how majority of prices end with a 9, 7, or 5. That is, $9.99 or $997. This is a pricing tactic called charm pricing and it is everywhere. The most common prices end in numbers are 9 and 5, according to a 1997 study, which found that these cents endings accounted for 90% of the 840 prices they analysed (60% ended in 9, 30% ended in 5).
It is so common because it is effective.
Most languages are written from left to right and the psychology of it is that the first number makes more of an impression than the numbers behind it, so if you see the 4 in $4.97, you’ll think you’re getting a greater value, even if it you’re only saving 3 cents.
Another example, $997 seems like it’s “under a thousand dollars” instead of $1,000 which can make people think “wow, it’s a thousand dollars!”
But the main question for today is - is it ethical and should you choose to use it?
In this episode, you'll hear:
- What is charm pricing
- Why it is effective
- Is it ethical
I have taken the pledge with The Ethical Move to not use charm pricing or any other manipulative pricing tactics in my business. I would like to challenge you to think about this, and if right for you, take the pledge as well at: https://www.theethicalmove.org/pledge/

But Bonnie.... If you are a marketing expert.... Then why aren't you a millionaire already with a million social media followers?
That is the elephant in the room. Or more likely, that is my Imposter Syndrome.
Have you ever asked yourself "Who the hell am I to do this?" - if so, come join a raw conversation with another fempreneur asking the same question.
This episode is a quick but raw exposure into my inner thoughts during this start up phase. I want to pretend that I am bigger and further along the journey than I am. I wish I was further along. But I am not. I am right here.
But does that mean I don't know what I am talking about? Does that mean that I can truly transform your marketing and relationship to your business? No. It so totally doesn't.
Do I know that I can help transform and provide confidence and clarity? Yes, I know I can, I am doing that already.
So why are we so nervous and ashamed of the starting phase?
Have you or are you battling imposter syndrome or comparisonitis? I would love to continue this conversation over at my Insta:

Hello friend and welcome to another episode.
This week's episode I dive into data-based decisions. We have been talking about this the last few weeks and I mentioned it in the last episode #18 on the Toggl time tracking podcast. You can't manage what you don't measure.
So this week we are discussing 7 Metrics to measure your marketing success. These are the starting point for evaluating your marketing success.
You should be tracking:
- Revenue
- Social Media Engagement
- Email Marketing
- Website Conversion Rate
- Customer Acquisition Cost
- Repurchase Ratio
- Ideal Customer Avatar
If you are struggling with your marketing, don't know or understand your marketing metrics and want to stop throwing spaghetti at the wall and hope it sticks. Book an intense 3-hour Marketing Strategy Session and map out your entire marketing strategy for the next 12 months and get custom metrics to measure.
Find it at https://www.bonniewix.com/marketing-strategy
Or come chat with me at https://www.instagram.com/bonniewix.biz/
Hello, welcome to another Tool Of The Week episode. This week we are discussing the benefits of Toggl Track for time tracking in your business. I have used Toggl for years and firmly believe it is vital for all businesses - whether they are product or service based.
If you can't measure you can't manage. If you don't know accurately how much time each activity is taking in your business then you can't manage your business and make data-based management decisions.
Listen to why Toggl is necessary, how to set it up and use it, and why you need time tracking.

Welcome to the next episode of the Best Business Books Review. In this episode, we will be reviewing The New Hustle by Emma Isaacs. We will discuss what was good about it, and what was not so good and pull out all the best gold nuggets of wisdom that we can. This book is fantastic if you have a team or are in a leadership role. However, I was very disappointed by the inconsistent branding. The cover says The New Hustle fighting the hustle culture - yet - the book was all about celebrating HUSTLE. I was really looking forward to reading a book as per the blurb and was infuriated when it did not deliver. Even worse, it glorified burnout for ambition's sake. This book would have been more powerful if it was a more insightful and transparent memoir of the support and services Emma had that allowed her the ambition she encourages.

Do you have employees or manage a team? If so, then this episode is for you. We will talk about the recent court case that saw a US man receive $450,000 in compensation from the ex-employer that gave him a surprise birthday party dispute the gent asking for this not to be held.
Why does this matter to you? Because regardless of fault or circumstances, there are lessons all business owners can learn from this. This podcast will go through what the company could have done better and how you can put processes in place to prevent this from happening to you.
If you have any further insight into this case, I would love to continue this conversation on my inst https://www.instagram.com/bonniewix.biz/

Let's all try to be a little kinder 💛💛💛
Clickbait title? Yes. Absolute truth bomb? Also, Yes!!! If you are struggling in your business, no matter what it is you are struggling with, I can guarantee the issue stems from this number 1 mistake.
Is your business struggling with time? Are customers becoming unhappy? Or even worse, are you not attracting any customers? Is your marketing strategy throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping it sticks?
Then you are suffering from this mistake that could kill your business.
I know... Because I recorded this episode specifically for myself.
Can you guess what it is?
