I’ve been running my own businesses more than 12 years now, juggling them around family responsibilities and all the other life admin, and one of the things that’s always popped up for me is this feeling of being just a little bit behind, like I’m trying to keep up but never quite getting everything done.
I don’t think I’m alone there.
I’m really only just realising now that there’s not going to be a point where everything is done. That goal is realistically not achievable, so why was I putting that pressure on myself?
There will always be another project to work on, another load of washing to do.. that’s not me failing to keep up, that’s just life continuing on.
Lately my focus has shifted from how much I can get done, to how I feel when I’m getting things done. And that’s really helped to lighten my load.
I still want to be productive, but I want to take a more easeful approach to it. Here’s how I’m currently doing that!

As a coach, service provider, or course creator, you've likely poured hours and hours into building and working on your business already. And when you’re passionate about what you do, you’re fine with that!
But imagine how great it would be to be able to help more people and make more sales (and more money) while working less hours and having more freedom for the fun parts of life!
I love going to the movies when everyone else is at work or at school. I like spending Mondays with my mum going out for afternoon tea. I love reading books, doing puzzles, and diving down reality TV rabbit holes.
And I love not having to work at 11pm at night on my laptop anymore while the rest of my family is sleeping (which is what my business looked like at the very beginning when I almost burnt out after just a few months).
Working tirelessly in your business shouldn't be your end goal. You can create a business that works for you—one that scales easily, bringing in more clients and revenue without you working more hours.
Adding an online course to your business model is a great way to do this. Optimising your online course so that it sells more without you having to do more is even better!
So in this week’s podcast episode, I’m sharing five elements you can include in your online course that will not only deliver incredible value to your students but also help you make more sales and scale your business with less effort.

When you have a great relationship with money, you can manage your business and your life with more of a sense of control and confidence. Your money works for you, and the peace of mind you get from having your finances well organised as a business owner really helps to lift the typically invisible weight that so many female business owners carry around.

Erin Davis helps women stay in control of their money so they can step into the rest of their life with confidence. She understands financial clarity is the key ingredient in moving their business from where it is now to where they want to go. As a qualified accountant with 30+ years’ experience, Erin has helped hundreds of businesses manage millions of dollars & become financially strong. But it’s not all about the numbers for Erin. She believes when you’re confident, you walk taller, smile more, jump at opportunities & feel amazing. Erin helps you to become the most confident woman in your work, money & play!
Listen in as Erin and I chat about why female business owners often struggle with money, the most common money stories Erin sees with female entrepreneurs and business owners, how to get the financial confidence we need so that our businesses can thrive, and the first step we can take towards making smart financial choices as business owners!

Let’s talk launches - do you love them or hate them?
Lots of business owners, coaches and course creators approach them with a mix of excitement (potential for great sales) and dread (it’s a ton of work and what if it doesn’t bring in the numbers we’re hoping for?)
Launches can feel quite overwhelming because there are typically a lot of moving parts to set up behind the scenes for something that runs for a short time.
I wasn’t a huge fan of big launches for my first few years in business because of that workload - we all know I like to keep things simple!
But I also love a puzzle, and found launches really interesting when I watched my entrepreneurial friends do them! And they really can bring in an incredible amount of revenue, so I had a go, kept at it, and once I learned a few tricks to make launches simpler and more manageable, they became such a handy tool, not just for bringing in great money but for growing and scaling my business at the same time. Launches for my passive products are the reason I can keep my client numbers low and enjoy working just a couple of hours a day instead of full time, and I think once you find the version of launching that works best for you, you’ll love having that extra time and financial abundance in your business too!

Changing your outer world begins with rewiring your inner world and sometimes, that means leaning into temporary discomfort in order to set yourself free.
As business owners, entrepreneurs, mothers, as people - I think we’ve all experienced what it’s like to have a goal or vision for your business or your life and feel like you’re working at it 24/7 but not really getting anywhere.
You want to make a positive change, you ramp yourself up to do it, and then your brain kicks in. Thoughts like “what if”, “I can’t”, “who am I to even try” take over and talk you out of your idea before you even get started.
It’s time to stop fighting yourself and get out of your own way so you can have the things you want.
My guest today Laura Aura has done a tremendous amount of work with her own healing and with going after what she truly wants.
Laura is a mindset coach, speaker and host of The Gutsy Podcast. She teaches people how to quit settling and start radiating by shifting their mind junk.
Laura helps women stop overthinking and overcomplicating their next move, allowing them to take steps towards getting what they truly want, and specialises in things like:
- Why your brain gives you ideas and then talks you out of them
- What your resistance and tendencies can tell you about your desires
- How to recognise and interrupt the mental cycle that holds you back
- The difference between temporary and perpetual discomfort
- How to move forward with your desires using her Powerback® Process
As an all-around visionary, she is the first to push you out of your comfort zone and the last to hug you as you head to the next level and start embracing a life you feel alive in.
Listen in as Laura and I talk about how she got out of her own way, how we can figure out what we really want, how to shift our thoughts in the moment, and why we typically talk ourselves out of what we want!

Want to get more done, in less time, with less effort?
Me too!
I’m big on efficiency for two reasons, I want to deliver a quality service to my customers, and I like a lot of free time.
No matter what kind of business owner you are - a coach, a service provider, a course creator - we often find ourselves juggling multiple tasks, feeling pulled in different directions, waking up with a to do list running through our head that always feels urgent, struggling to balance our professional and personal lives.
How do we tick off those to do’s quickly and easily so we can focus on the parts of the business that light us up, or take more time off for ourselves without sacrificing the quality of our deliverables?
For me, templates are the answer.
They streamline my processes, the save me time, they let me focus on the stuff I love doing, and they help me delegate!
Here’s a breakdown on the types of templates I find myself using over and over again in my business because they really free me up a lot. And as an added bonus, some of these also take away the emotional tie I have to the activity, if it’s something I feel nervous about doing, having the template helps me do it with less stress, and without stumbling through it!

If you’re a business owner, course creator, service provider, or coach who has been in business for at least a couple of years, you’ve probably realised that striking a balance between making great money and working hours that suit you can be a bit of a juggling act.
But it is possible!
I like to work mornings and take the afternoons & evenings off and I like going to the movies on Thursdays when everyone else is at work or at school, sitting in Gold Class in the dark for a couple of hours while people bring me snacks 😉 🍿 - it’s the best!
So a few years ago I took a bit of time to asses my business structure and strategy, and tweak it so that I could help more people and make more money while working less hours.
It’s been a game changer for me! I love what I do and I’m passionate about helping other people, but I don’t want to serve everyone else 24/7 and put myself last on my priority list!
I like having free time to sleep in, take a long walk every day, read my books, do my puzzles, watch my shows, pursue other fun projects - I also do a little extras acting here and there on commercials, tv shows and movies! I also want time to dive deep into self care, and when I do that, when I take that time for me, I show up better for everyone in my business and my life, and I have a feeling if you free up some time to take care of yourself, you’ll show up better for everyone else too!
So today we’re going to take a little step in that direction and I’ll show you how I streamline my work as a business owner in a way that boosts my sales, and gives my clients a high quality experience without me needing to work full time hours.

As small business owners, whether we are content creators, service providers, or coaches we often shy away from actively selling.I don’t want to be pushy, what if they don’t like it, I’m not natural sales person, I don’t know enough about my topic yet, rejection feels personal - any of these sound familiar?
I’m too busy, I don’t know what to sell, how to price it, or how to get it in front of people who want to buy it.
It’s really interesting how so many of us have the same blocks, and yet when I speak to my entrepreneurial buddies who are doing really well, they all say the same thing - they had those fears and blocks too, but they still took action.
Business for me is really about 2 things - delivering a high quality experience for my customers, and staying on top of my mindset. Actually mindset is really my first focus these days, because before I had that in place I would procrastinate, lose focus, and miss out on opportunities and sales.
After 12+ years in the online business world, I know what to include in an offer that makes it an easy yes for buyers, and I know how to set up my systems so that those offers sell themselves. That takes so much pressure off me, I can keep myself in a positive mindset and focus on the parts of the business I love, which for me is creating content that feels like I’m documenting my life and chatting with people.
Today I’m going to share with you my must haves for creating an offer that people really want to buy, and how I set my systems up to do the selling for me!

Running a small business is incredibly rewarding but often comes with a heavy load of responsibilities that can lead to burnout. If you're a small business owner feeling the weight of stress and fatigue, you're not alone. I think we all know what it feels like!
I remember almost completely burning out just a few months into running my organising business, and it was a big wake up call for me to make some changes, because I realised that in order for my business to be sustainable in the long term, I as the business owner, the face of the business, the sales & customer service professional and the marketing person needed to take care of myself first!
If you’re feeling like you’re heading towards burnout as a biz owner and you’re not sure how to fix it, I have a few ideas for you to try!

Too many business owners focus on scaling and growing without the proper foundations in place which causes problems as they grow. This eventually leads to burnout and structural issues in their business that cost time, money, and energy to fix. Scaling with sustainability at the forefront is the key to healthy, lasting growth.

Do you ever feel like you’re supposed to follow a certain path just because it’s the "safe" or “expected” choice?
Or think the only way to find success is to do what you see other successful people are doing?
Have you ever really had the chance to sit down and think about your life and career and whether what you’re doing makes you feel really, really good?
When you’re an entrepreneur, real magic can happen when you ditch the conventional ways or the things you’re not excited about, and just follow the pathway that feels really good for you!
Trusting your gut, embracing what you enjoy, and making choices that fit you, not the mould, can make a big difference in the success of your business and your level of contentment with your life.
My guest today made a courageous decision to leave behind her corporate career in European finance and policy-making to pursue her passion for writing and storytelling.
Embracing sobriety has positively impacted her life, leading to better physical and mental health, increased confidence, and a simpler lifestyle, and today she’s here to share some valuable insights and practical tips for anyone looking to pursue their passions and thrive as an entrepreneur!

I’m excited to chat with Suzanne because I think we can fall into a pattern of feeling like we need to do things a certain way or follow someone else’s path to success, or play by other people’s rules, or try to fit in with the people around us, and that’s no way to live!
The better you feel, the more business thrives and these we have the tools and opportunities to build a career in whatever area or industry we enjoy!
Listen in as Suzanne and I chat about what drives her as an entrepreneur, the biggest change she can attribute to quitting alcohol when it comes to her entrepreneurial journey, the best thing about being her own boss, and the advice she'd give to someone looking to set out on their own entrepreneurial journey!

How you are going keeping up with your social media presence for your business?
There are so many platforms now that it feels almost impossible to be consistently present on all of them. And even if you can post daily on all platforms, is it really helping to grow your business and make more sales?
I spend a lot of time on social media, particularly on TikTok and Instagram - as a consumer. I love watching the trends pop up and seeing how creative people are.
But while I can easily spend a couple of hours scrolling through TikTok, I’m not as eager to spend the same amount of time posting there. And I’m not interested in creating flashy and time-consuming content.
So I don’t! And you don’t have to either.
I like to share something helpful, chat with people, and then move on with my day. So I’ve set up my socials and my systems to do a lot of the heavy lifting for me in terms of list growth and sales, and that frees me up to just ENJOY my time on social media, not feel pressured by it.
Today I thought I’d run you through what that looks like in case you find it helpful and want to set up something similar for your business!

Being a business owner often means wearing multiple hats and juggling multiple tasks all by yourself. You want to do it all because you’re very conscious of your budget and need to be able to afford to run your business as it grows. But once you start to see consistent sales and cash flow, you get even busier managing your deliverables, and your business growth should not come at the expense of your efficiency or your personal wellbeing.
When that momentum starts to build - that’s when you need to hire help, and a Virtual Assistant (or VA) is the ideal place to start!
Your VA can take care of so many business tasks, freeing you up to focus on the core activities that really need you - your face, your experience, your personality. But many entrepreneurs, particularly those in the first few years of running their business, find the process of finding and hiring a VA a bit too overwhelming, and as a result tend to put it off and struggle on by themselves (often burning out in the process!)
Where do you begin when looking for a VA? What should you look for in terms of their skills? How do you ensure they align with your business values and needs?
My guest today one half of an incredible team that specialises in helping business owners find the perfect VA, and helping VAs establish their virtual assistant business so that the client & VA relationship can be the perfect match! They help people demystify the process, providing clear, actionable insights to seamlessly integrate a VA into the business, ensuring that it’s not just another task to check off your to do list, but a strategic move towards sustainable growth and work-life balance.
Founded in February 2019, the Newcastle Virtual Assistants is the brainchild of Adrienne Donnelly and Jane Ekholm.
They are passionate about the Virtual Assistant industry in Australia and provide a space for their members to thrive, offering them mentoring, resources, guidance, connection, and learning opportunities.
They not only act as a conduit between business owners and local Virtual Assistants through education and matchmaking, they also work with industry partners to continue to raise the profile and ensure the quality of the VA industry in our community, and beyond.
Adrienne and Jane have helped more than 40 business owners find a VA through their matchmaking service, and they’re looking forward to helping even more people in the business community! They understand that business owners put off the search because they are time poor, and that is how they can help.
Tune in as Adrienne and I chat about one of the common pain points for business owners when it comes to the search for a VA, how a matchmaking service can help that pain point, some success stories of people they have helped, and how their matchmaking service came to life!

We’re talking about creativity today because creatives are often undervalued and restrained.
People think being creative is a soft skill, a nice thing to do but don’t consider it a business builder - and they’re wrong.
Whether you work for yourself or for a company, your creativity is one of your most powerful assets.
Companies and corporations suffer from high turnover, lack of job ownership and loss of profits because they focus on enforcing how someone else did the job before the new hire and stifling all ability to let employees adjust their job to work better individually, providing higher efficiency, pride in their work and overall happiness with their job. Employees are humans, not machines.
And for business owners, creativity is a must if you’re looking to stand out and really connect with your customers. The ability to think outside the box can transform your brand, making it more relatable and memorable to your target audience. Embracing creativity leads to innovative approaches to marketing, product development, and customer experience , not to mention increased engagement and loyalty. In a marketplace where consumers are bombarded with choices, letting creativity lead the way is your best strategy to capture attention and drive your business success.
My guest today is on a mission is to inspire and empower Creatives with the tools they need to be successful, and to teach corporations to embrace the creativity of their employees!

Paul’s journey began with a passion for education stemming from a need to escape an abusive childhood. Eventually, he found his way to design and fabrication, which led to the creation of thousands of personalised products for clients worldwide. In recent years, Paul has pivoted to empowering fellow Creatives, sharing his expertise and insights to help them transform their passions into successful businesses. As a speaker, educator, and mentor, Paul inspires others to unleash their creative potential and find fulfilment in their personal and professional lives.
Tune in as Paul and I talk about the turning point that made him realise his passion for helping others tap into their creative potential, how he adapts his approach to creativity and empowerment to fit the unique needs of diverse clients, some common misconceptions about creativity in the business world, and how to figure out what to charge when you’re a Creative!

So many of us think owning a business is going to give us better work life balance than a 9-5 or working under someone else, but the reality is many new business owners end up working 24/7, burning out, getting sick, and it’s almost seen as a right of passage for business owners.
At this point we start to make the necessary changes, but wouldn’t it be nice if we could skip the struggle and simply follow a better path from the start?
If you’re not enjoying your day to day journey of building your business, you won’t be able to fully enjoy or appreciate your results when you do start seeing your definition of success.
My guest today is on a mission to show entrepreneurs that the possibilities of what they can achieve in life is truly limitless and that the only thing that is stopping them from getting from where they are now to where they want to be, is their mindset & skillset (both of which you have the power to shift).

Are you jumping between marketing strategies without allowing them time to start working?
The allure of new marketing trends can be appealing- you notice someone else doing something you haven’t seen before , perceive them as more successful than you and feel like you should ditch your current strategy and follow theirs instead.
I don’t blame you. We live in a world of instant downloads and short attention spans and constantly chasing the new at the expense of nurturing the now.
The truth is, most effective marketing strategies are like planting a garden; they require time, care, and consistency to see results.
Jumping from one approach to another is like uprooting seedlings before they have a chance to grow, leaving you with nothing.
Here's what to do instead!

Ok business owner, you have honed your skills, perfected your craft, and you're ready to make a real difference in people's lives.
But there's one catch—you haven't actually started selling your coaching, services or courses because you don’t quite feel like you’re ready yet.
What’s holding you back?
Do you feel like your offers need to be perfect before you can sell them?
I’ve worked with small business owners for years now, and I’ve noticed it’s the same 3 blocks that come up repeatedly when it comes to selling their products and services:
- They think they can’t make offers until their website is perfect
- They don’t have testimonials yet to sell their offer for them
- They’re focused too much on creation and not enough on selling.
Let’s look at each of these in a little more detail.

How are you feeling right now, as a business owner?
Do any of these resonate with you right now?
“There has to be more to success than just money”
“Owning my own business can be lonely - I miss the support I had when I worked at my regular job”
“I’m showing up and doing all the things but feeling unfulfilled”
“I’ve had some great achievements but they’ve come at a price”
“I’m not sure I can sustain where I’m at in my business, let alone go to the next level.
Running your own business isn’t just about making money. You left the 9-5 to do something you love, to help people, to live and work on your own terms. You’re the heart & soul, the engine of your business, so there needs to be more to it than just leads, sales, and profits if you’re going to feel a sense of fulfilment from it.
When was the last time you paused and took note of how you’re feeling?
Are you slogging it out trying to get enough clients, deliver the work on time, pay your bills and hopefully make some money for you too.
It might be time to shift focus a little, and give some attention to your personal wellbeing as a business owner.
You can accomplish so much more when you’re feeling good in your body, mind and spirit, and I’ve got the perfect guest to help you with that!

We talk about online courses a LOT here on the podcast because they’re such a game changer in your business when it comes to increasing your cash flow and freeing up your time.
Passive in my experience applies to everything once it’s all set up and working - you’ve created your product, you have a sales & delivery process set up for it, and you have a marketing strategy that actually converts.
So it’s not completely effort free, but it’s so much freer and easier than filling your week with 40 hours of on one on one coaching or services! I recommend adding an online course to pretty everyone I work with.
So what’s the best way to SELL your online program and create a RELIABLE passive income stream?
Most course creators rely on live launches to sell their course. But they can be quite unpredictable, especially the first few times you do it, and they come with a lot of risk because of their short time frame and “feast or famine” nature. All it takes is one broken link or misaligned message in your launch for profits to tank and the whole thing to flop. That’s a lot of pressure!
Equally, when creators go evergreen the traditional way, their conversion rates plummet, and the dream of passive income feels like it’s moving further out of reach.
What a lot of course creators don’t realise is there’s another way to sell that takes the best of both of these options and leads to predictable passive income and sustainable growth. You can "launch" with a profitable evergreen system and use ongoing, automated customer feedback to dial in your messaging and improve your sales conversions over time.
No more stressing and guessing your way to more course sales. You’ll have audience insights to inform you of where any leaky holes are and how to plug them!
My guest today Abi Prendergast is the creator (and soon-to-be author!) of Day #1 Evergreen -- the automated funnel that's built to convert better every month.
For years, Abi wrote launch copy for some of the biggest names in the course industry, including Amy Porterfield and Copyhackers. Eventually, the nail-biting pressure of live launches got to her, so she created a system that equips creators to hop off that live launch roller coaster and create a reliable flow of passive income in their business.
If you’ve been struggling with your passive product sales or procrastinating on creating them, or want to move away from live launches without a big drop in cash flow, you’re going to love what Abi has to share!
Listen in as Abi and I chat about the biggest challenge course creators face in 2024, why course creators shouldn't validate their online course before jumping into evergreen, how listeners can collect customer feedback & improve conversions, and what Abi includes in her Day #1 Evergreen funnel to increase conversion rates!

So you’ve been running your service business for a while now, and things are going well! You’ve got a steady stream of clients who are loving what you do, and you’re finding yourself getting busier and busier.
This is usually the point when we solo business owners start to think about what comes next for the business.
We see other business owners get to this point and start to focus on scaling and growing their business by hiring and training team members to help with the workload.
But what if you don’t want to manage a team? What if you’re happy with how things are, and want to bring in great money and help your clients without having to hire and train other people to do it with you? What if you love being a sole trader and want to achieve your business goals but still have a life? What if that one size fits all business framework, actually doesn’t fit with what YOU want?
You can build a simple and sustainable service business that aligns with your lifestyle goals as well as your business ones, and my guest today is going to show you how!

If you’ve listened to the podcast for a while, you already know I’m a big believer in building a business that aligns with your natural strengths, talents and interests.
When you do what comes naturally to you, when you do what you enjoy and you price your offers well, the whole business experience is smoother. It doesn’t feel like hard work. You enjoy showing up and doing the things that move your business forward - and you have the freedom to ditch, delegate or automate the rest. Sales are easier. You don’t have to put in long hours. Sometimes you do because you get so into a project you can’t stop thinking about it, but that tends to balance out in the long run because you have the opportunity to build space into your schedule for times of rest, rejuvenation, and creativity.
You know that feeling when you’re working on something and it feels almost too easy? The time goes by like lightning, your fingers are flying over your keyboard, or you find yourself thinking “I can’t believe I’m getting paid to do this”? That’s what I consider working in flow and I LOVE it. I want that for all of us, and I’m drawn like a magnet to other people who work in flow.
That’s why I’m so excited to have today’s guest on the show!
Ruby Lee is all about helping entrepreneurs tap into the magic of flow in their businesses. She’s a certified High Flow Coach and people trust her for guidance because she’s documented every step of her business journey over the past 5 years. She’s the host of the Flow State Business podcast which has had close to half a million downloads, and she ties things like your energy into how you run your business. Ruby is so real and open and every time I get a peek behind the scenes of how she runs her business I am SO impressed!
I’ve worked with Ruby in a couple of courses now and have seen my monthly income jump by thousands as a result, without needing to add extra hours to my working week. Her coaching is perfect for me, quick and actionable and motivates me to actually DO things that make my business not only easier but more enjoyable - things flow very smoothly for me now and it’s Ruby I have to thank for that!
In Ruby’s experience, flow can transform lives. It's not just about making more money (which we’re totally ok with!); it's about loving what you do and finding the most expansive version of you.
Tune in as Ruby & I talk about how she came across the concept of flow, and it’s impact on her life, how she applies the flow state to building and running her business, and the magic she’s seen in her business and others since applying these principles!

Back in 2011 I left corporate and started my first business, Beautifully Organised. I wanted more control over my time, to run my own schedule and to work on my terms. I wanted to be home for my young children more instead of having to work long hours, evenings and weekends. I wanted my work to fit around my life, and over the past 13 years I’ve worked with a lot of small business owners who want that too.
Now for me, work life balance was a windy road.
Beautifully Organised started as an in person service, where I would go to other mums’ homes and physically help them organise it so that their day would flow more smoothly around their young families. Here’s how to set up your kitchen so making dinner at witching hour is easier, here’s how to set up your bathroom so it’s quick and easy to clean right after bath time, that kind of thing.
The ironic part was within just a couple of months, I was working just as long hours as I was before, I was away from my kids for the same amount of time, and I was responsible for everything - not just organising for my customers, but the marketing, sales, customer service… everything. I burnt out in a few months.
My corporate job was inflexible, but at least it was a regular pay check and I could turn off when I wasn’t at work.
If I wanted more balance, if I wanted to work in a way that aligned with my dream lifestyle rather than dictated what it would be like, I needed to be more strategic about how my business worked. So at that point, I decided to make some changes.
It took a lot of trial and error, but these days Beautifully Organised is an online business, and I make money sharing my organising tips via courses instead of personally going to people’s homes and organising them myself anymore. I have a very simple business model, and that’s actually what freed me up to start The Simpler Business podcast in the first place! I like to work a couple of hours a day, and I limit my private clients in this business to a handful so I’m not overworked anymore.
I also made a few other changes to my approach to running my business and thought I’d share them in case you find them helpful! Here’s what I do each year to run my 2 businesses and still have a life I love with plenty of down time.

If you love the idea of leaving corporate, leaving retail, leaving the 9 to 5 or what hour hours you’re working and you really want to start your own business and work for yourself but you don’t know what kind of business to start or what to focus on, then you are going to find this episode, really really inspiring and really really motivating.
A good friend of mine, one of my absolute favourite people in the world, Serena Edwards is on the show today!
She’s the founder of Elegantly Empowered, and her whole business is about inspiring women to leverage their strengths and use them to uplift themselves and others, no matter what they’ve been through.
I’m really excited to have her on the show because so many people talk to me about how they are thinking of starting a business because there’s a gap in the market, or because they think this thing will sell well. And yes there is logic in that in my experience working with 100s of predominantly female clients over the years, we tend to burn out when we’re not doing something we’re passionate about or something that that gives us purpose.
When we are doing something that lights us up, that we feel that we called to do, the landscape changes for us as business owners. The work is easier, sales flow better, and we connect with the right people at the right time, as long as we follow the very simple business rules of do what feels good and don’t give up.
I’m most inspired when I see people creating a business that helps other people, and I’m really interested in hearing about how they got started, and what inspired them to start their business.
Listen in as Serena and I discuss her business journey including how she helps people, how she turned her passion and purpose into a business, the biggest lesson she’s learnt so far, and what’s coming up for Elegantly Empowered in the next 12 months!

Keeping your client docket full is something most of us are nervous about when we’re first starting our business, whether we’re service providers, coaches or course creators.
When I speak with small business owners and entrepreneurs about working with clients, they’re typically focused on finding new ones, which I find very interesting, because retaining clients is actually much easier than attracting new ones. And when I ask why retention isn’t part of their regular strategy, the answer is usually something along the lines of “I don’t want to be too pushy or salesy, or seem to greedy, or make people feel like I only care about getting more money from them.”
If you’re currently working with clients and can see other ways you can help them and you don’t offer to do that, they’ll finish up with you and then a few weeks or months later realise they might need help with it, and then they might come back, or they might go with whoever else they’ve come across since then. And they’ll wonder why you didn’t pick up on it and offer to help them!
But if you have a simple way to offer a continued working relationship to your clients and you systemise it so you can make your offer in a friendly and confident way, the focus isn’t on whether you want more money or not, it’s on whether you care about their long term results.
So in case you need help with client retention, I’m sharing my favourite ways for course creators, service providers and coaches to keep working with their favourite clients without feeling pushy!

Live launches are intense and can put your business into feast or famine mode - big influxes of cash every few months with nothing in between.
Evergreen funnels have gained popularity in recent years because they allow you to bring in regular cash flow without the intensity of launches - in theory, it’s a set-and-forget job, you create your funnel, turn it on, and let it do the selling for you!
That promise of predictability and stability with your income is very appealing, but what happens when you put all of your efforts into creating your evergreen sales funnel and it doesn’t convert? What happens to the people on your email list who go through your funnel and don’t buy?
It seems we have pros and cons for both launches and evergreen, but did you know there’s another option you can consider?
My guest today teaches agencies, coaches and course creators how to automate their sales without the stress of live launching OR relying on evergreen strategies that might fall short of their goals.
As the visionary CEO and Founder of Nicki K Media, Nicki Krawczyk loves to challenge the conventional norms of live launching and traditional evergreen strategies. Her proven methodologies provide course creators with a predictable path to success, freeing them from the stress and limitations of outdated approaches.
Her Circuit Sales System has all of the excitement of live launching, but without the stress and risk. And it’s got all of the predictability of evergreen, but without the low conversions.
Listen in as Nicki and I chat about why a lot of evergreen funnels have low conversions, why live launching doesn’t work as well anymore, why Nicki’s Circuit System is perfect for coaches and course creators, and the results she’s seeing from her Circuit System members!

In November I went on my annual solo trip, a cruise through Spain, France and Italy - and it was AMAZING. The food in Barcelona was SO good, Cannes and Provence were so pretty, and I just adored everything about my 3 days in Rome!
The cruise itself was with Norwegian Cruise Lines and it was the ultimate luxury. It’s easily the most beautiful ship I’ve been on.
What I found really interesting though was the little lessons I picked up while on the cruise ship - all about marketing and sales!
I thought you might find them helpful too, so enjoy this casual chat about what I discovered and how we can apply it to our coaching, service or online course businesses!

As the year wraps up, we tend to brace themselves for what we anticipate to be a slow December for entrepreneurs, coaches and service providers.
But December has so much potential for growth and profitability and can be one of the most lucrative times of the year if you approach it the right way.
December is unique. It's a time of increased consumer spending, emotional purchases, and a general air of generosity and goodwill. This creates a really fertile ground for businesses to offer special deals, holiday-themed services, and gift options. Understanding these market dynamics helps you tailor your offers to align with the expectations of the festive season.
And no, its not too late to add an extra offer or two to your business model this holiday season - try adding one of these easy to implement ideas to your business plan for December!

Two struggle points I see over and over again from business owners are decision making, and data.
- Decision making for business owners brings up a lot of stuff - starting with the amount decisions we have to make every day. Big ones and little ones! Then there’s the emotional attachment we have to the decisions we make:
- What if I go this way and something bad happens?
- What if I make this decision and something doesn’t work out?
- What if we freeze and don’t make a decision at all and then we miss out on something?
Data is the other area we tend to struggle with. If you’re not naturally a numbers person, you tend to stick your hand in the sand because when you don’t know your numbers, it feels scary to look at them!But what most business don’t realise is that data can actually free you up emotionally from the decisions you make in your business. It can take the pressure off!My guest today is going to walk us through how to use data to help you make intuitive decisions confidently!
Christine Tyler Pell founded COO, Inc after realising that the business owners in her life were very uncomfortable with math and data. Now she teaches creative consultants, coaches, and designers how to leverage data and their unique power to build the businesses of their dreams, easily easily delegating ALL the work that drains them while consistently delighting their clients.As a former accountant, it's a passion of Christine’s to help business owners LOOK at their numbers. A lot of her clients are actually afraid of them but it's all there to help you and she wants to make that a little easier!

There are a lot of areas when it comes to finances that us business owners often aren’t aware of. It’s not our area of expertise, so we don’t think about a lot of the financial information we need to run our businesses.
When was the last time you thought about how often you need to review your finances, or noticed the bottlenecks in your business that are slowing your growth?
Are you pricing products to ensure you’re making a profit?
Do you know if or when your cash is about to run out?
Are you clear on how much you need to set aside for taxes?
My guest this week is here to help business owners like us understand more about our finances, and show us the things we should be keeping our eyes on!

The goal as a business owner is for it to be a success, You want people to buy your products and book your services, to love the experience of working with you, to refer you to others, to have that cash flowing in and enjoy the limitless potential your business has!
It all sounds amazing and you’re on track to get there - but the challenge of being a successful business owner is that when your business grows, it starts to get too big for you to run it all by yourself
We start out wearing all the hats and doing all the things and we get really good at it because we’re passionate about our business and we want it to succeed. But when things go well, it means things get busy.
So we try to cram it all in and be as organised as possible but there are literally no more hours in the day, and we started our business for more freedom, not to be chained to our computer! The juggle is real and we start to miss a little thing here, a little thing there, we start to feel overworked and burnt out.
It doesn’t seem like a big deal, but when those little misses start to add up, that’s when we realise it can make the difference between signing a high ticket client or losing one. It can affect our deliverability on our services and create a less than spectacular customer experience, leading to less repeat purchases and then things start to spiral.
Those little misses are a sign that it’s time to scale, systemise, and hire and delegate before it all gets to be too much for you. But as a sole trader, you have no idea how to do that. The idea of taking time out from your business to hire and train someone else feels like it’s adding more work to your plate, not freeing you up! Yes its important in the long run but you’ll just put it off until you have a bit more breathing room to do it… except that time is never going to come.
My guest today is more than familiar with these kinds of entrepreneurial worries and is here to walk us through a few points that make bringing in people to help you in your business a little less scary and a lot less complicated!

You started your business, you created your offers, you’re ready to change lives… now you just need paying clients!
If you’ve ever launched an offer to crickets, you’re not alone.
We start our own businesses because we’re passionate about what we do and we’re highly skilled at it - but we’re not always natural marketers. In fact, for a lot of us, we’re really uncomfortable doing it.
There can be quite an emotional attachment to the sales process, especially when you’re in your first 1-3 years of running your business.
It feels really personal to put yourself out there and talk about how great your offers are, and that’s before you even mention the price and ask for the sale!
And it takes a LOT of time away from the parts of your business you actually enjoy - but without paying clients, you don’t have a business, so you’ve got to do it, no matter how much you hate it.
The good news is, booking clients doesn’t actually have to be as hard as we’re making it.
Once you’ve got a process or system sorted, it cantata care of client attraction for you and give you a bit of a breather personally. Things are easier when you have a how to to follow!
And my guest today is going to walk you through the basics of client attraction so you can stand out and your ideal customers can find you and book you much more easily!

Does your ego get in your way and hold you back from greatness?
Your ego is your unconscious brain that is usually motivated by old past beliefs, mindsets and habits that you aren’t even aware you’re doing.
We live in a very reactive world—our egos are feeding on everything from social media rants to tabloids and news headlines, all designed to emotionally manipulate us for the benefit of the source.
But ego isn’t always a bad thing, in fact, it can be a real strength. It’s only when it’s left uncontrolled that it can unintentionally damage our relationships with loved ones in our personal life and with customers, colleagues and peers in our business and career.
The good news is, you can change the role your ego plays in your relationships and make small but significant changes that add up over time and allow you to show up for yourself, and those around you, in a far more productive manner.
Christie Garcia is a Leadership Coach, Speaker, Facilitator, Contributor to Forbes Coaches Council, and Founder of Mindful Choice Leadership Academy. She has 19 years of experience in sales, recruiting, and leadership development. For the last decade she has worked with current and upcoming leaders from fast growing organizations including Airbnb, Twitter, Movement For Life, Sunrun, and Oakley.
Christie builds programs that help individuals and teams maximize their impact through self-awareness, ownership, communication, alignment, and accountability.
One of Christie’s super-powers is helping her clients identify and manage their Ego in real time. Her clients build authentic confidence so they can communicate more effectively and maximize their impact within their professional teams and personal relationships. This is a modern approach that is designed to be simple. You just have to choose to be 1% better every day.
Listen in as Christie and I discuss what Egos are present in your business, identify the three Egos and learn how they sabotage your success, how the Ego unconsciously runs your conversations and relationships, procrastination, and other Ego tactics that keep you stuck in your business!

Whether you’re just starting or you’re a seasoned coach, I bet you already know that while having a calendar full of clients sounds pretty amazing, it can also get overwhelming.
Plus, back to back client calls isn’t the best to get to your next income goal and it certainly isn’t a way to scale your business!
If you’re coaching 40 hours a week, your income will hit a plateau. There are only so many coaching calls you can do in a week!
And when will you have time for admin, marketing, sales & retention?
When will you have time to enjoy your life?
My guest today knows exactly how a crammed full coaching calendar can impact your business and lifestyle.
Lindsay Maloney was triple-booked with coaching clients for over three years. And while she loved what she did, it felt like someone kidnapped her calendar and booked it completely full with one-hour sessions without asking for her permission!
Her calendar was full of client calls, group coaching calls, podcast interviews, you name it, and Lindsay really wanted more freedom.
No one wants to leave corporate to start their own business and then be chained to Zoom all day, we’d much prefer to choose a path towards a balanced and free coaching biz. But what does that really look like?
Would you like to see fewer calls on your calendar, AND more sales coming in without you having to “be there” for it?
You can get your time back and still bring in the same income (and a whole lot more) without having to go on calls all of the time, and Lindsay’s going to walk us through how to do it!
Listen in as Lindsay and I chat about the #1 thing to focus on when trying to reach 5 hour work week, time management hacks for more productivity, where to start with building out levels of offers & income, and how to build a sustainable & freedom-based coaching business that is not dependent on launching all the time!

Let’s look at some simple ways you can run your business and make great money while still protecting your time and energy!

If you’re a multi-passionate entrepreneur who struggles to keep things streamlined and simple because you feel called to do lots of different things, this episode is for you!
One of the toughest decisions I had to make when I started my first business was what to actually focus on, because there were a number of things I was interested in, good at, and could help people with.
Everyone says to niche down and target a very specific audience with a very specific offer so that when they find us they know straight away we can help them, and that is good advice if you’re great at just one thing - but what if you’re great at lots of things? What if we choose the wrong thing to focus on? What if we waste a year focusing in one area and then realise later that we want to help people in other ways, with other products and services?
Do we need multiple personalities online? Can we group everything together? How do we tap into our multi-passionate traits and use them to our benefit, without having to force ourselves into a box?
My guest today is the perfect person to talk to about this topic!
Tara Reid is a seasoned business and marketing strategist, renowned for her expertise in empowering entrepreneurs to build sustainable, evergreen marketing strategies.

Her passion for strategic thinking and personalized coaching drives transformative results, making a significant impact in the lives of her clients.
Listen in as Tara and I chat about the best ways that multi-passionate entrepreneurs can keep things simple without niching down, what happened when Tara tried niching in the past vs doing things differently now, how Tara plans her marketing when she has lots of offers, and what she’d change if she went back in time to when she first started her business!

If you’ve been wondering if you’re too old to start your own business, not tech enough to run a business online, or not trendy enough to have people take notice of you - you're going to love today's episode!
We think so many things are holding us back from creating the business and life of our dreams - but the truth is, it’s not the external stuff holding you back.
It’s not your age. It’s not your tech skills. It’s not a lack of opportunity or resources.
The only thing holding you back is your mindset.
Thanks to the internet, it’s never been easier or more affordable to run your own business, and there are plenty of examples of people making 6 figures or more, from different locations, selling different things, at all ages.
And I have such a good example for you today, I’m really excited for you to meet my guest Leslie Kuster!
Leslie is a multiple seven figure ecommerce brand owner whose business, Back From Bali, offers women bohemian chic clothing ethically made in Bali.
The success her business affords Leslie the life of her dreams, and she is passionate about igniting and inspiring other women entrepreneurs to rise while they create the financial and personal freedom they crave.
Leslie was in her mid-50’s, when she took her clothing business from 5 figures to millions!
She is now helping other women entrepreneurs of all ages realise their dreams and grow their businesses. Leslie empowers women to live their true freedom by teaching them how to create a business that aligns with their deeper core values, enabling women to work in a way that brings ease and flow into their daily lives so they can be truly fulfilled.
Leslie’s passion inspires women to pursue entrepreneurship in order for them to step into their independence, know their value, develop their feminine power and earn the kind of money that creates freedom.
Listen in as Leslie and I talk about why it’s so taboo to say you want to have money and success, how you can set up your business to serve you, and one thing you can do right now to increase your success!

Are you exhausted from making endless decisions?
Decision fatigue is a real thing, and as a business owner I bet you’re no stranger to it!
We often find ourselves juggling numerous responsibilities, both in the business and our personal lives. The constant need to make important decisions - and even the smaller ones - can take a toll on our mental and emotional well-being, hindering our ability to find balance and actually enjoy what we’re doing.
The good news is, once you learn how to manage decision fatigue, you can reclaim your energy, flow through your day and enjoy better outcomes both in your business and overall well-being.
And my guest today is going to show us where to start!

Once you’ve got your business foundations sorted - your ideal customer avatar, your product & services, your offers & deliverables - you’re ready to scale!
But scaling your business can be both exciting and a little daunting...
You want your business to grow but you don’t want to overwork yourself and burn out! After all, one of the reasons you started your business was to have more freedom.
In a business owner’s eyes, more clients and customers feels like more responsibility, and if feels risky to expand - Can I handle the extra workload? Can I still deliver the same quality on a larger scale? Am I ready to hire or outsource? If so, how do I manage a team successfully?
Questions like these can have you wondering if you’re really ready to scale, but I promise you - you are. Concerns like these are all mindset based, and once you upgrade your mindset, you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve.
Here are some key mindset shifts that will allow you to scale your business without sacrificing your freedom!
Mentioned in this episode: I’m taking a small group of entrepreneurs who are passionate about their business and keen to scale without burnout through some practical ways to shift their mindset from small biz owner or service provider to CEO of a successful, sustainable business with unlimited potential for growth!

Can email marketing work for ANY type of business?
I’ve been running my online businesses for more than a decade now and the smartest step I took was to build an email list and write to it regularly.
Email marketing is where I make most of my sales for my online programs, digital products and VIP Days and it has been instrumental in creating a number of income streams that have continued to grow year after year.
Trends come and go, social media platforms change, but email always stays the same. You can connect directly with your customers in an easy, reliable and affordable way, and the better you become at writing your emails, the more sales you’ll make!
My guest today built her family business and started successfully selling in just a few months, and email is the number one way she makes sales and connects with her customers.
Sena Wheeler is part of a 3rd generation fishing family and the co-founder of Sena Sea, which brings wild Alaskan seafood direct to your door.
She was featured on Marie Forleo's blog for how she has 10x'd her sales by writing emails about fish. She's passionate about the power of connecting with your target audience through email communication.
She and her husband enjoy running the family business together, spending part of the year in Alaska and having the flexibility to enjoy watching her children participate in their school sports, and of course, eating and cooking fish!
I’m so excited to share Sena's story because over the years I’ve noticed people say things like, “email marketing only works for coaches”, “you can’t sell products as successfully via email as you can with a shop front” and Sena is an amazing example of how it really can work!
Listen in as Sena and I discuss how she started the business, how she initially marketed and sold her fish, the moment she realised the power of copywriting and email marketing to grow a business, and her recommendations for business owners who want to get better at copywriting!

You know bookkeeping is important, but it's not easy, and getting a bookkeeper might feel like a big expense, especially in your first few years running your business.
So what do you do? Ask your accountant to sort it out for you (costing you a fortune), have a go yourself, make plenty of mistakes, spend time and money to fix it, or get your partner, family member or friend to help you out, even if you're not sure they are confident either?
The good news is, there’s a simple solution for you now!

In the world of online business, many entrepreneurs are constantly on the hunt for the perfect product or service to offer and high ticket offers seem to be the recommendation of many coaches.
These are high-priced products or services that typically require a significant investment from the customer (typically thousands) and this can create a significant income stream for the business owner, but while they can certainly be lucrative, they can also be trickier to sell.
The alternative option is a low ticket offer - a product or service priced at lower level, typically ranging from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars. These can be anything from digital products to coaching sessions or services.
It’s an easier “Yes” for your customer, but can it provide the same level of revenue as high ticket offers?
I’m excited to introduce my podcast guest Mickie Kennedy from eReleases and hear about his experience with low ticket offers, and I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at what he has to say!
A little background on Mickie, he founded eReleases 24 years ago to help small businesses, authors, and startups increase their visibility and credibility through affordable press release marketing.
Previously, he’d been working at a PR company when a small business owner called, saying to Mickie “We won an award and I want to send out one press release. I’ve called all the PR firms in the yellow pages and they all have a minimum starting price of $20,000! Can you help me?” Mickie saw an opportunity to help and eReleases was born, providing a press release service option that was much more affordable for small businesses.
Listen in as Mickie shares about the hardest part of growing his business, the tools he used to grow his business, whether he feels he is a good manager, and his recommendations for small companies that want to grow!

Do you have a story to tell or a message to share, but wish writing it was easier?
Do your words sound good in your head but then you have trouble getting them onto the page?
When you write do you feel like what you really want to come through, is kids of stuck, or doesn’t quite feel right?
Your words are an extension of your energy, and when done right, they connect with your readers, inspire them and motivate them to take action.
But when they’re not quite right and you can’t put your finger on why, that’s when your message can be diluted, isn’t as effective, or just feels like the wrong fit and this can really impact your business results because your messaging in both your content and your offer is what builds trust with your community and drives sign-ups and sales.
My guest today is going to show us how to write more intuitively so that your message feels right for you and connects with the people who are meant to be in your circle, and will love working with you.

As entrepreneurs, it's easy to get caught up in the pursuit of profits.

If you’re uncomfortable selling, it’s NOT a sign that you’re not good at it!
It’s more likely you’re just trying to wing it, you don’t have a process to follow, and you’re making it more about you than about your potential client.
Take the focus off you, put it on your clients and customers, and you’ll find sales much easier.
My guest today says selling is ultimately about providing value to your prospects in a way that makes them excited to exchange their dollars for your offer.
Why?
Because your offer will change their life for the better, and that transformation is absolutely worth the money.
It’s time to ditch the outdated, pushy strategies and learn how to sell by combining sales skills and kindness to meet prospects where they are and earn their business effortlessly!
CEO of Sales Maven, Nikki Rausch has the unique ability to transform the misunderstood process of “selling”.
With 25+ years of selling experience, entrepreneurs and small business owners now hire Nikki to show them how to sell successfully and authentically.
Tune in as Nikki and I discuss the subtle cues and buying signals that people give when they’re interested in doing business with you, how and why you should “pre-frame” your discovery calls before conducting them, the one question people forget to ask in a discovery call, why should you NOT coach (or demonstrate your expertise) during a discovery call, and what you should do at the very end of the call that’ll increase your close rate!

As a business owner, you know that running a successful business takes a lot of time, effort, and resources and if you’ve been listening to The Simpler Business Podcast for a while you’ll know I’m a big fan of finding ways to make running your business smoother and easier.
One option to streamline your business operations and free yourself up to focus on your zone of genius is to consider outsourcing the simple and repetitive tasks in your business. The tasks that don’t need your face, your voice or your personality in order to get done.
You can outsource general tasks to a contractor or virtual assistant, or you could work an expert in a particular area you’d like to outsource - there are lots of great options available.
But how do you know when it's the right time to outsource?
When I talk with my listeners about outsourcing, they tend to raise the same questions - what should I outsource, how do I know if I can afford it, who should I outsource too, and how can I manage it when it feels like it’s quicker and easier just to do it myself instead of training and checking the quality of someone else’s work?
But what will happen to you and your business if you don’t outsource? It’s impossible to be everywhere and do everything at once and trying to wear all the hats and do all the things forever will only lead to burnout and inconsistency.
Let's walk through the simpler side of outsourcing so it doesn’t have to feel like a huge undertaking and a tonne of extra work to set it up!
Founder of Scribesmith and Terrain Eman Zabi has worked with clients like Stanford University, Netflix, and MeetUp and now they specialises in launch and funnel strategy for online educators, helping them leverage their expertise to build scalable online businesses.
Eman’s experience as both a startup owner and marketer gives her a unique multidisciplinary approach to business development, marketing, and strategy, which allows her to see opportunities and threats that others might overlook!
Tune in as we talk about the signs you’ll start to spot when you're ready to outsource business tasks, what type of tasks can be outsourced in a service-based business, how to determine which tasks to delegate, how to measure the success and ROI of bringing on help, and how to maintain quality control and manage the performance of other freelancers.

If you’ve been trying to scale your business for the last couple of years and not you’re seeing much traction yet, it’s NOT a sign that it’s not meant for you.
It’s more likely you’ve been busy with the work you are already doing, reacting to things that pop up with the clients you’re already working with, juggling your business with your family life, your day job (or both!) and you’re struggling to find dedicated time for you to focus on growing and scaling your business. You feel like it’s an effort just to post consistently to socials or email your list once a week!
We’ve all been there.
It sucks to feel like you’re always working and working and working but staying at the same level without your business growing, especially when you see other people on socials celebrating things like big launch numbers.
But big results are possible for you too, and you don’t have to work harder or longer hours to achieve them.
In fact, if you take a little time to simplify your approach to running your business and focus on just a few small but really important factors, you can take your own quantum leap forward, collapse the timeline, and achieve your business goals without burning out in the process.
This is your year to scale your business and enjoy more income without working more hours.
Here’s how we’re going to do it!

Traditional jobs are looking less and less appealing every year.
So many people are working longer hours for less pay and non existent job security.
Companies are reducing their workforce by using artificial intelligence (AI) to automate processes and improve productivity, and if you’ve been finding yourself feeling less and less secure at your 9-5, retail or hospitality job, you are not alone.
It’s time to look at some new options and take control back over your career.
The good news is, there are so many options out there for you in terms of entrepreneurship! The bad news is that with so many options out there, it can be hard to figure out which one is right for you.
Should you try a product based business? A service business? Passive income and digital products, a brick and mortar place you build from scratch? A franchise?
How do you know which one will be the best fit without running the risk of wasting years of your time and effort and thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars on your business venture?
You don’t have to figure it out all on your own. There are people out there who understand the uncertainty of what you’re going through and can help you navigate the pathway that best suits you based on your skills, interests, experience and goals, and my guest today is one of them!

Owning your own business is exciting and fulfilling, but it can also be overwhelming and time-consuming.
As a business owner, you're responsible for managing so many different tasks and responsibilities, from operations and customer service to marketing and finance. With so much on your plate, it's easy to get stuck in the day-to-day details and lose sight of the big picture.
One of the biggest challenges many business owners and entrepreneurs face is finding ways to free up more time and availability so they can focus on growing their business as well as running it.
I’m a big fan working less hours while having more impact, so today I’m going to share with you my 3 favourite ways to free myself up in my business, and hopefully they’ll help free you up more too!

How do you feel about creating a Facebook Group as part of your business?
I know I’ve tried it in the past and I love the idea of having a group, but I have to admit I kind of ghosted mine because I had too much trouble keeping up with it as well as all the other things I was doing on social media - my personal profiles, my business pages, all of the different platforms!
I had trouble finding a balance between sharing content that would help me connect with ideal clients, without giving too much away for free so that they’d still want to take that next step and work with me in my courses and coaching programs.
I’d like to try having a Facebook Group again but I want to do it strategically this time, so it’s not just another place where I talk about Simplifying Business but actually works as a strategic way to bring in clients and sell my courses and programs.
I have no idea how to do that and you might be in the same boat as me, so I’ve bought in an expert to teach us how to monetise a Facebook group and use it as an effective business tool instead of just adding another social media “to do” to our list!

How’s your computer looking right now?
Can you find what you need in a couple of clicks? Or do you spend a tonne of time looking through files and folders trying to get a hold of something important that you know you’ve saved somewhere but just can’t remember where, or even what the file name is?
You’ll be pleased to know, there’s actually a way you can simplify your approach to storing and retrieving digital information, and you don’t have to do anywhere near as much organising as you think to make this process really smooth and easy to action.
A lot of us slip into a habit of filing digital things that can (much more) easily just be searched for.
You don’t have to micro-manage your files like we did 10 or 15 years ago, as long as you’re naming your files right.
When you start to think of FINDING as the goal, not FILING as the goal, you can start being smarter in how you name files, and how (or whether) you label emails. They don't need to be filed, they just need to be found.
Now I know this is outside the realm of usual thinking for most of us, so I’ve got someone on the show today who’s going to make this so easy to understand and implement.
My guest today is a Google tools pro and master of improving efficiency through digital organization. Dara Sklar is like a tech-savvy Monica Geller, but is a lot less demanding (and shrill 😂). She’s the friend you call for tech help.
Dara is happy to jump in and show you time saving tips and hacks that you’ll wish you knew sooner. Using her in-depth knowledge of Google Tools to help business owners work more efficiently, Dara can identify the behind-the-scenes disorganization that’s slowing your business growth, ruining your ability to delegate, and eating up time you don’t have!
If you’re already using Google Workspace - and I certainly do, I use Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Forms - Dara can show you how to use it in a way that’s more organised with less work, so things can flow smoothly in your business while you focus on doing the stuff you love, and the stuff that makes you more money!
Tune in as we talk about why we let our digital information organisation get so cluttered and overwhelming, how to find, not file your emails and documents, and where to start interns of making it easier to find things.

Ready to stop reacting to the things that pop up, and start working on the things that will move your business forward?
Whether you’re going from one client to-do list to another, cramming in tasks between meetings, wondering where you’ll fit in your own content and marketing work for your business, or trying to balance work and home life and feeling like your family’s schedule is always throwing a wrench in your plans, the juggle is real and we’re burning out as a result.
Your mental load is too heavy to handle, you don’t have time to get everything done, and it’s stunting your business growth. That hamster wheel feeling like you’re running and running but you never get anywhere? You are not alone in feeling like that. And when you love what you do and you love your family, then you get guilt on top of it, like “What’s wrong with me that I can’t make this work? I’m GOOD at this stuff!”
This episode is for you, if that’s how you’re feeling right now. There is an easier way, and my guest today is going to show you how to do it.
Cara Chace is a productivity and business mentor and the creator of the Theme Day planning method and it’s a game changer for your business. She lives her passion: showing women how to navigate life priorities while building a business they love and helps them map out their ideal work week and get laser-focused on their priorities so they can pull themselves away of overwhelm.
Cara has been balancing her aversion to rules and bosses with the need for structure since 2013, when she had her first child and took on the role of social media manager for the band Megadeth and their 13 million online fans.
After realising being a work-from-home entrepreneur was the best fit for her life, she built a digital marketing agency from scratch, had another kid, navigated constantly shifting priorities, moving houses, and life demands...and made it her mission to Work Better Live Well, with systems, workflows, and boundaries as an entrepreneur to help her get the right things done while still living life the way she wants to.
If you’re looking to create a simple, easy structure to plan and grow your business, with time for rest and actual weekends off, Cara is the person you go to.
She introduced me to the concept of “No meeting days” a little while ago and it immediately I felt like the pressure was lifted! Such a simple concept, such a great result from actioning it, and I’m really excited for her to share it with you today.
Listen in as we talk about why we tend to cram it all in and bounce from one thing to another as business owners and entrepreneurs, how "no meeting" days help smooth out your working week, and setting boundaries without stress!

Create your content, put it out there, and enjoy lots of new sales.
Wouldn’t it be nice if it was that easy!
The reality is, not everyone opens and reads all of your emails. And on socials? The algorithm won’t show all of your content to all of your followers, and even if it did, there’s so much content out there now that as consumers, we tend to scroll more than we actually stop, read or watch.
Your message needs to reach the right person, at the right time, and stand out in a sea of other content if it’s going to convert to sales, and that means creating your content and posting it once, isn’t enough.
Your perfect potential clients are on lots of different platforms.
It’s time to get comfortable being more visible, and sharing your content multiple times, on multiple platforms, in multiple formats.
Yes, we still focus on one main content and visibility platform. The hub of your social media engine. For me, that’s my podcasts, for you it might be Instagram, LinkedIn, or Tik Tok.
And we’re still going to prioritise email marketing, because that’s our safety net and our highest touchpoint opportunity. You can’t get banned from email overnight or have your account blocked like you can with Facebook, and when you do it right, email feels like a personal letter that lets you connect with your subscriber the same way you would when you’re chatting with your bestie.
So we’re already busy doing those two things, how can we then add more visibility and consistency to showing up on all the other platforms without having to work 24/7?
We repurpose the content we’ve already created and we find simple ways to do it.

If you’re not naturally good at sales, I’m giving you permission to stop stressing out about that right now :)
Gone are the days of needing to be a natural born salesperson in order for your business to succeed.
Yes, making sales is still important - after all without them, we have no revenue, no profit, and no business - but you don’t need to sell 1:1 anymore if you don’t want to.
A great sales page will do the work for you, selling your product or service to many and giving you the ability to sell more while working less.
But what do we put on that sales page to entice our potential customers to buy? Today’s guest is going to walk us through the structure of a high converting sales page so you can hit the ground running with yours!

The obvious way to make more money in your business is to make more sales. The easiest way to make more sales is to get your offer in front of more people. Specifically, the right people. the people you can help with your product or service.
So how do you get in front of them without taking too much time away from everything else you’re already doing as a business owner or entrepreneur? How do you increase your visibility without having to spend a ton of money, time and effort doing so?
For me the answer is to be a little bit strategic about the actions I’m taking in my business. I only like to work a couple of hours each day - around 8 hours a week - so when I’m planning any action in my business I like it to be fun and flowy and easy to implement. The easier it is, the more likely I am to do it.
Here are 5 of my favourite easy ways to increase my visibility and get in front of more of my ideal potential customers!

How do you feel in the day-to-day running of your business? How do you handle challenges that pop up? How do you celebrate the good times and wins in your business? What do you do to have FUN as a business owner?
We can get so tied up in the “make or break” of our business that we actually forget we love what we do..
Imposter syndrome, fear of failure, fear of missing out - most of us are familiar with these feelings and they’re totally normal. It’s not an indication there’s anything wrong in your business. In fact, it’s a sign you’re just like the rest of us.
What’s important is you don’t let those feelings hold you back from moving forward in your business. And a great way to do that is NOT to focus on getting more success - it’s to focus on having more FUN and the success will flow from there!
My guest today is a great role model for ENJOYING your business as you run and grow it. Julie C Butler started her first business as a self-taught portrait photographer 15+ years ago. Since then she’s also created a gorgeous stock photo membership site AND she’s an amazing coach who helps female entrepreneurs who are in love with what they do, build & grow their businesses so that they can achieve a level of success that goes above and beyond by creating irresistible high converting brands that let them connect with their dream clients.
Whenever I’m in Julie’s space whether that be chatting in person, collaborating on a project or following along online, it always feels joyful, light, and breezy. She makes business so much fun and I’m so excited to have her on the show today to talk about how to have fun in your business!
Tune in as Julie and I chat about which business model she had the most fun with, why we get so serious as business owners and forget to have fun, and the steps we can take to build a business that doesn't feel hard and heavy!

Time and time again I see business owners getting overwhelmed and burning out because they’re taking too much on, they’re saying yes to everything and overworking themselves doing things that aren’t necessarily helping their business grow.
It’s easy to get caught up in your business to do list and just keep going and going thinking everything is urgent and important when in reality, saying no is one of the most productive things you can do for your business.
You don’t have to give your advice away for free. You don’t have to collaborate with everyone that asks. You don’t have to give discounts and bonuses that put you into scarcity mode instead of abundance. You don’t owe anyone anything, and it’s perfectly ok to set boundaries as a business owner so you can honour your time, effort and energy and build a business that fits with your life. That’s why you started it in the first place!
Today I'm excited to chat with Online Business Strategust AnnMarie Rose about boundary setting with grace. Tune in as we talk about we struggle as business owners to set and keep boundaries, how to set boundaries without making people mad at us, and how to set boundaries that honour our time and energy but still allow our business to grow!

We start our businesses because we have a passion for our industry and we want to help people, but we also want more freedom as well as a great income.
The problem is, when we first jump into entrepreneurship, we tend to go ALL IN.
We’re not working 9-5 in our first few years of business, we’re working 24/7.
We’re up till midnight on our laptops while the rest of the family is asleep.
We’re thinking about our business ALL DAY and finding it hard to switch off and have downtime because we’re so intent on making it work!
We feel like we have to wear all the hats and do all the things because we’re worried we can’t afford to outsource or delegate for the first few years, we want to make the most of any cash flow we have.
The problem is… when we try to run a business this way, we burn out fast.
Your business is an extension of YOU, you’re the heart and soul of it. It wouldn’t exist without you.
If you want your business to be a success, you need to first consider your own energy as your number one priority, then look at the tasks you’re actioning as part of growing your business.
My guest today is an expert at showing business owners, freelancers, and entrepreneurs how to design their energy-aligned schedule so that they can work smarter and easier, not harder in their businesses.
Rai Cornell has been building online businesses for over 15 years and from building her own marketing agency to helping large companies and solopreneurs build more profitable, streamlined, and joyful businesses, she’s on a mission to help people enjoy a higher quality of life while fulfilling their life’s purpose.
Rai helps her clients explore the possibilities of what their life can look like when they design their own energy-aligned business, making the most of their time (without working from dawn ‘til dusk!), and waking up each day feeling excited to get to work!
From business building to attracting clients to sales, operations, and more in a way that suits YOUR energy, Rai has got you covered.
Tune in as we discuss why we tend to overload ourselves as business owners and then struggle to get everything done, how designing an energy-aligned schedule helps us work smarter and easier, not harder, and which steps should we take to design a schedule that is aligned to our energy!

Are you sabotaging your productivity?
If you’re wondering why you’re working so much in your business but you’re not seeing a lot of momentum or results yet, it might just be that there are a few little habits that are getting in the way of you achieving your business goals.
Think about your workday from start to finish. What are your main priorities? What are you focusing on? Is it the stuff that moves your business forward in terms of growth and sales, or do you feel busy all day but then look back and think, “Nothing actually got done?!?”
I only like to work a couple of hours each day, and I run 2 businesses, so that means I need to be really productive with my time. Which is fantastic when everything is aligned, I’m in the zone, I’m working in flow… but sometimes, it’s the little things that I slip up on, and I know I’m not the only one doing it. There are things we don’t consciously think about as we’re doing them, and one by one they don’t seem like big things, but when you add them all up, they make a huge difference to how productive we are.
So what are these things? What are the little habits that are killing our productivity? I have a very special guest on the show today who is going to walk us through 6 of them one by one AND show us how to handle them smoothly and take back our productivity as business owners and entrepreneurs!
Allison Scholes is a Content Coach and Podcaster who helps mompreneurs create less, but BETTER content through coaching, templates and her content creation club. Allison also hosts her Podcast, Social Media for Mompreneurs. Each week, the show helps busy moms not only create content on their own terms, but build their brand online in just minutes a day—even when those minutes are hard to come by.
Allison believes content creation should be fun and done with ease, not overwhelming! With her sassy and fun personality, mixed with her creativity and love for sweatpants and coffee, she’s able to deliver the simple and creative tools to help mompreneurs boost their business with confidence and ease.
She knows exactly how it feels to grow a business and brand, create content, AND raise a family at the same time so she can definitely relate to our need for productivity AND the habits that are holding us back.
Tune in as Allison and I talk about why we struggle with productivity as business owners and entrepreneurs, and the 6 bad habits that can kill our productivity!

Crowdfunding has become a very popular choice for small business owners and it’s a very clever way to pre-sell your product.
It’s a fantastic option to raise the money you need to create and launch your product, but it can feel quite overwhelming to get started. It’s not as simple as just setting up your Kickstarter page, then sitting back and watching the money come rolling in!
Don’t let that hold you back - this is a fantastic opportunity for you to sell your product before you even need to create any inventory, and having your customers pay for the product upfront means you’ll have money to pay for production without needing to go into debt.
My guest today is going to walk us through crowdfunding and pre-selling for your business so you don’t have to figure it all out on your own!
Founder and CEO of Factory45, Shannon Lohr works with aspiring entrepreneurs all over the globe to launch sustainable & ethical fashion brands the right way, from the start.
Over the past 10 years, she has mentored hundreds of people who have an idea for a clothing brand but don’t have a fashion background or feel stuck at a dead-end. Shannon can show you how to source materials, set up manufacturing, and raise money to launch your brand.
Tune in as Shannon and I talk about why crowdfunding and pre-selling are so helpful for product-based businesses, how it differs from fundraising and donations, and which steps to take for a successful crowdfunding or pre-sales campaign!

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback you gave me on my last episode where I talked about what it felt like to go on my 2 week cruise and have my business run itself while I was away!
A lot of you said it was a fun one to listen to and really helped you break out of that mindset of “I have to be on all the time as a business owner”, I'm so glad you found the episode helpful!
Today I’m going to go into more detail on the systems and tools and strategies I used to be able to take that break and have my business keep running smoothly while I was away - how I handled content creation which is the key to my business growth, and how I handled sales and customer service while I was away, not touching anything in my business while I was on the cruise.

Consistent, helpful content is the key to growing your business online.
It’s how your ideal customer gets to know who you are and how you can help them, it’s a fantastic way to prove you know what you’re talking about in your industry, it shows people what it would be like to work with you, and it encourages them to take that next step - to book in for your service or buy your product.
So why do we procrastinate on content creation? Why do we post & ghost on socials? Why do we neglect our email lists?
Usually, it’s because we feel like we don’t have enough time to create new content, we don’t know what to say, or we don’t think we’re very good at it. Content creation feels like a big job - it’s time-consuming, there are so many places that we feel like we need to show up on these days, and it’s really hard to keep coming up with new content!
Here’s the good news - you don’t actually need to create new content every day. There’s a much easier way to show up consistently online, and my guest today is here to teach you how to do it!
Content Repurposing Agency Owner Felly Day helps ambitious service providers and coaches create a sustainable business, grow through digital marketing and build a life on their own terms in a way that feeds their spirit.
Felly specialises in helping her clients create a core content strategy that embodies theirownenergy,vision anddreams, and she believes that marketing success comes from creating messaging that is distinctly you.
If you’ve already got content you’ve created previously, you can use that in multiple ways to build brand awareness and sell out your offers.
Don’t burn yourself out constantly trying to create new content. Sales and success don’t come from sharing the newest and trendiest stuff! In fact, most of your audience needs to hear the same thing over and over again before they’re familiar with it, truly understand it, relate to it and decide to take action and buy!
Tune in as Felly and I talk about what content repurposing is and how it can benefit your business, the difference between content repurposing and content redistribution, and the easiest way to get started repurposing your content!

I’m back after my 2 week cruise to New Zealand!
It was wonderful.
I thought I’d share what it was like - what I did before I left so the businesses would still run smoothly while I was gone, what it was like during the trip, and what it was like to return to regular life and business after it.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever had thoughts like: ‘What am I doing wrong?’, ‘I feel like an Imposter!’, ‘What if this won’t work?’, ‘Am I good enough?’
If you feel irritated, frustrated, ashamed, guilty, undeserving or overwhelmed as an entrepreneur.
If you’re not yet making the amount of money you were hoping for, if you don’t have enough clients yet, or you worry that your offers, pricing, niche, or strategy aren’t quite right.
Or maybe you’re wondering whether you’re focusing on the right things at the right time to grow your business, build your team and lead like a CEO.
If any of those feelings are familiar to you, it’s time for a perception shift.
It’s not what you’re doing that makes a big difference to your business results. It’s how you’re thinking and feeling about it.
Imagine how your business and life would change if you could rewire the hidden emotional and mindset blocks that are keeping you from making the money you desire and getting the results you want.
If your goal is to have a thriving growing business, clients that are a joy to work with, and a positive impact on people’s lives, you’re going to love our guest today!
Rebel Transformative Leader Luisa Ferrario helps fellow entrepreneurs set up a thriving business and make the money they desire by having in place an impactful mindset, structure, and leadership model to rapidly grow their company and joyfully lead a team of rockstars.
She is the founder and CEO of Elle Effe Consulting, a ground-breaking organisation which specialises in unmasking the hidden forces leading teams and organisations, and removing the last obstacles that prevent you from going to the next level of fulfilment and profitability, and today she’s here to talk about the 3 powerful aspects to rapidly grow your business.

You may think that branding is only relevant for large corporations with a huge customer base, but that’s not necessarily true!
Branding for all businesses - big or small, product, coaching or service based - is important because it plays a huge role in helping your potential client or customer decide whether to buy from you.
Your brand is a reflection of the experience people will have with you. The look and feel of your online presence is seen as a preview to what it’s like to buy from you, be coached by you, partner with you or work with you. It provides the emotional connection between you and your potential client, and if you’re strategic with your branding, it has the power to draw your ideal client to you like a magnet and do most of your selling for you.
For example, if you’re looking to attract high ticket clients - those who are happy to invest because they value the premium experience and the accountability of a high ticket offer, your branding needs to align with that experience. So how do you create that? Today we have an expert of the show to share some tips to help!
Specialising in helping female coaches and founders, Elva Li is a Luxury Branding Coach, Creative Director, and Speaker who helps her clients create a luxury brand so they can attract high-end clients, increase their influence, impact, and income.
Elva has 10 years of experience in business advisory, coaching, and luxury brand styling. She combines her creative flair with her business savviness to help visionary female coaches and founders feel confident online, onboard high-end clients, and become the most iconic version of themselves.
Tune in as Marissa and Elva talk about what defines a luxury brand, how can luxury branding help your business grow, and how to create your luxury brand.

You started your business so you could do what you LOVE and do it on your own terms.
How’s that working out for you so far? Because when Marissa first started her original business at Beautifully Organised, she spent some time doing what she enjoyed, but she also had to spend a lot of time trying to find her next client, and the one after that, and the one after that.
With a service based business, almost all of us start out undercharging because we’re worried about whether a potential client will say yes to working with us, and we’ve done so much work just finding this person and getting in front of them that the last thing we want to do is chase them away with a price they aren’t happy with! That leads to us working more hours than we expected just to make enough money to cover the bills. And there’s only so many clients we can serve in a week!
After a few months of this, it doesn’t feel like we LOVE what we do anymore, and we’re certainly not doing it on our own terms.
But without putting time, effort, or money into marketing, we can’t get clients, and without clients, we don’t have a business, right?
Not necessarily - in fact our guests today say you can make more and work less without relying on any of the typical things we do to market ourselves like relying on social media, a fancy opt-in, or any ad spend.
Abagail Pumphrey and Emylee Williams are the business fairy godmothers behind Boss Project and the hosts of the chart-topping podcast, The Strategy Hour. They’re internet-famous for their program, Trello for Business, which Marissa personally has and loves because it breaks down boring and complicated systems into easier, bite-sized chunks. They have helped more than 10 thousand creative small business owners create simplicity and ease in reaching their goals.
After getting their start in 2015 serving clients in the marketing and branding space, they now help other service based business owners reignite their offer, create systems for client experience, and get more of their time back inside their program, The Incubator.
Tune in as Marissa chats with Abagail and Emylee about building a life-first business, growing your biz without being on social media all the time, running ads or making multiple lead magnets and opt ins, and what service based business owners should focus on instead of marketing!

For a lot of entrepreneurs and business owners, email marketing feels like just another thing on your to do list, and when you get busy, consistency with your emails tends to be one of the first things that slides.
What a lot of people don’t realise is, if you’re looking to scale your business, emails can do a ton of the work and the selling for you - so it really needs to be one of, if not THE top priority in your marketing strategy.

Marketing strategist and host of the KAC Marketing & Mindset podcast, Kay Allen-Carr started her career as a marketing coordinator and worked her way up to VP of Marketing & Analytics for a consulting agency for multi-seven figure businesses, spending 12 years in that role before deciding to run her own business.
She now helps six and 7-figure+ business owners scale with confidence, using marketing strategies and systems designed to help them generate more revenue.
There are 3 types of emails Kay sent on a monthly basis last year to bring in over $1M in revenue for a client, and we have a feeling they’ll work for you too!

What does it take to build a million-dollar business?
It’s a number that feels like a leap to many of us, but there are more and more entrepreneurs hitting and surpassing the million-dollar mark every year and that’s got me wondering: What do they have in common?
Does it come down to the industry? The type of product or service you offer? Is it your pricing, your ability to scale, or simply confidence and resilience that get you there?
Do you have to work harder to make more money?
In our experience, the answer is no. You can slog it out 10 hours a day in your business but if you’re not taking any revenue-generating action, you’re not bringing in an income. It’s more about being strategic with your business plan, your offers, your pricing, and your ability to scale.
For most entrepreneurs and business owners, the tricky part is knowing what to do to build a million-dollar business. What are the steps to get you there? What are the “must-do’s”, the non negotiable actions that make a real difference to your level of success?
The best way to find out those answers is to ask someone who has made it happen. learn from their experience, what worked for them, and what they’d do differently if they were starting from scratch. There’s so much we can learn from hearing other people’s stories and learning about their experiences.
In this episode, founder of Lifestyle Industries Melanie Brandt joins Marissa to talk about foundations for a million-dollar business.
Mel shows business owners how to automate their business so they can have more time freedom and is obsessed with marketing and eco system automation and helping other business owners build smart business systems.
Listen in as Mel shares her entrepreneurial story and talks with Marissa about what eco system automation is and how it can you set you up for a million-dollar business!

Want to simplify how you run your business? Get it out of your head and into a system.
Your project work, To-Do list, SOPs, content calendar, launch steps, swipe files, and more can all be housed in one system instead of across various apps and software, making it easy to store and find everything you need in seconds.
This is so handy when you want to manage your time and boost your productivity, when you’re ready to start delegating or outsourcing parts of your business, or if you just want to reduce the mental load as a business owner or entrepreneur.
If you’ve already tried Trello, Asana, Monday, Dropbox your Notes app, and paper planners and none of them helped, we don’t blame you for giving up and just winging it as best you can.
But if you want to grow your business without burning out, systemising it is a must.
The good news is, it doesn’t have to be difficult. You just need a bit of know-how, a little guidance, and a helpful resource or two from someone who is already using a good system successfully - and we have the perfect person for you!
In this episode, Marissa chats with owner of Socially Graceful Carly Smith about using Notion to simplify your business. Carly’s passion is helping business owners nail their social media and email marketing, writing & implementing strategies for them, and freeing them up to focus on growing and scaling.
Carly has a real knack for practical strategy that cuts out all the noise and helps you focus on the things that make a difference in your business. From social and email content to apps and software that make your job easier, Carly has the inside info on all of it!
Listen in as Marissa ad Carly talk about what Notion is and why it's awesome, how to use it in your business, how to get started with it, and templates that help you use Notion without overwhelm.

Is it possible to be profitable while you grow your business?
A lot of entrepreneurs and business owners expect slow growth and not much revenue in the first couple of years of running their businesses because that’s what they hear over and over again in the media and on socials. People’s hard slog that they did for the first 12 - 24 months of their business, the struggle story before they made it big.
"You need to put in a couple of years of hard work before you see any traction in terms of revenue generation and you should expect to pay out more than you bring in."
But does that really have to be the case?
Marissa's special guest says profitability is possible while you grow your biz but you need to understand your numbers and create an intentional financial plan in order to set yourself up for success.
Host of the Profit and Prosper podcast and founder of Young + Co, Sarah Young is obsessed with helping business owners find financial peace and generate freedom and wealth. Sarah spent years honing her business and accounting skills at large companies, but after finding that working with small business owners was far more fulfilling than working for large companies, Sarah decided to commit to to helping business owners be more well AND wealthy.
Sarah believes there's way more to your finances than your tax return, and helps her clients think about their finances holistically in order to maximise their overall profits, so they can create more peace and stability in their life, build their wealth, and leave a legacy.
She says we’re going to cycle through phases of growth and stability in our businesses, and whatever phase we’re in, there are a few key things we need to do to grow our businesses without losing all of our money. It all comes down to being proactive vs. being reactive by being intentional about how we handle our finances.
Listen in as Marissa and Sarah chat about the 3 financial numbers that matter most on your profit & loss sheet, the roles of your bookkeeper, tax expert, & CFO in your business, and Sarah's favourite strategies to increase revenue and decrease expenses!

At first glance systems and processes might not seem like a very exciting topic, but you'll be so glad you tuned in today to learn more about them because they really are the key to long-term success in your business!
We think of systems and processes as “important things that big companies have” but they provide a good foundation for ANY business whether you’re in your first year or two running your business solo, or expanding and building a team to support you.
If all of your How To’s are locked in your head, you can’t delegate, outsource or scale easily. You’ll always be busy, always be reacting to things as they pop up and you’ll find it really difficult to take time off or even just focus on the parts of your business that you really enjoy!
If you know you need systems but think they’re too complicated to set up, this is the episode for you! Marissa chats with business strategist Michelle Broadbent about how you can approach systems in a simple, straightforward way.

Remember when you first started your business and how excited you were to set your goals and plan out your business model, your offers, and your marketing strategy?
Then you got busy with the day-to-day running of your business and suddenly you were in the thick of it. Proposals, onboarding, project work, handling the little things that pop up unexpectedly and seem to need your attention right away.
One day you look up and realise that while you enjoy what you do and have enough work to cover your bills and expenses, you haven’t really made any headway towards achieving your long-term goals in terms of business growth and profit.
You’re so busy focused on the everyday stuff that even just finding the time and space to start thinking long term again, let alone planning actions to achieve those goals feels impossible - you’re already exhausted just trying to keep everything going!
You want more results from your business, but if you put in more hours, you’re risking burnout, and the whole reason you started your business in the first place was to have more freedom.
So what do you do? Well, you start by learning from the people who have been there before.
In this episode, Marissa chats with Hunter Lowder about reverse engineering your business growth, including stair-stepping your way into the CEO role, Hunter's take on SMART goals, and the first step to take towards growing your business.

It pays to prioritise actions in your business that generate revenue so that it can be more profitable and scale more easily.
When you have more money coming in, it’s easier to outsource some of the behind-the-scenes work in your business and free yourself up for the stuff you enjoy doing and the parts of your biz that specifically need YOU.
It’s a very simple concept - if you want to make more money in your business, you need to make more sales.
But if you sell too many “done for you” services or too many 1:1 coaching sessions in order to make as much money as possible, you’ll burn out trying to do all of the work.
You need offers that are simple to sell AND deliver.
Here are some ideas that work well!

Have you ever felt this way?
“I’ve got so much to do and not enough time to do it”
“I’m busy all the time but never seem to have anything to show for it”
“I can’t afford to slow down”
Most of us have at some point, especially in the first few years of being a business owner or entrepreneur.
In this episode, Marissa shares a little insight into changing your mindset and approach to time and money as an entrepreneur or business owner.

What’s the perfect type of offer?
High ticket offers mean less traffic and leads needed to hit your sales goal.
Low ticket offers mean much easier conversions.
Both have the potential to bring in unlimited passive income.
Both can work as a “set and forget” income stream.
So which should you choose? In this episode, Marissa talks about choosing your offer type to align with your business and your personal strengths and personality.

Would you like your content to reach more people, build awareness for your brand and position you as an authority in your niche?
One way to do that is to repurpose your existing content.
Now, this is not a new idea.
Most entrepreneurs, creators and businesses with a social media presence have already heard of repurposing content.
So why don’t most of us do it?
The short answer is, we’re busy!
Repurposing your content is meant to help you show up on multiple social media platforms consistently without having to start from scratch with every post.
But each different platform wants different things.
It’s not as easy as doing a quick copy & paste to be able to be everywhere at once.
So traditionally, in order to repurpose your content and make it useful and engaging with audiences on different platforms, you have to take the content piece and remodel it to suit each platform you post on.
This can be time-consuming when you’re already busy running your business.
What we want is more results, without adding more and more hours to your working week.
So what do you do?
If you’re me or my clients, you look for EASY ways to repurpose your content that align well with your natural strengths and interests. This makes it more fun, which makes it more likely that you’ll want to do it more than once. We turn that into a step-by-step process that can be repeated easily, and we schedule it in to be done on a regular basis. I recommend batching the content repurposing process and scheduling the content release.
After years of repurposing for herself and clients, Marissa has narrowed it down to 10 really easy but extremely effective ways to repurpose your content.
Let’s walk through them!

Scaling your business. We all want to do it, but not many of us take the time to really think about what that looks like, what actions need to be taken to do it, and how our business will change as a result.
When most entrepreneurs and business owners think “scale” they imagine their business growing by leaps and bounds, and lots of money coming in… wonderful! But how do you actually manage that growth and those sales? How do you make sure your business can scale in a way that doesn’t overstretch you?
Trying to guess how to scale successfully by watching other businesses do it doesn’t really work, You don’t have all of the behind-the-scenes info, and you don’t know what hurdles they faced or how they worked through them. Trying to wing it as you scale doesn’t work either, you’ll be constantly putting out little fires here and there without having the time or space to take a step back and look at your business model, what’s working and what needs changing as you grow.
You need a scaling system that is adaptive and designed to support the unique needs of a small business where things are ever-changing and new ideas are ever-flowing, not one that is rigid and rooted in old practices that don't fit today's modern digital business.
Lucky for us, scaling our businesses doesn’t have to be the great unknown. In this episode, Marissa chats with entrepreneur and international lean business consultant Crista Grasso about strategies to grow a business that doesn't result in overwork and overwhelm!
As the creator of both the Lean Out Method and the 90 Day Lean Out Planner, Crista has been helping businesses achieve accelerated results and increased profitability for two decades. She has the ability to quickly cut through the noise and focus on optimising the core things that will make the biggest impact to grow and scale a business. Crista knows how to identify the most important things business owners should focus on to drive maximum value for customers and maximum profits for the business.

You started your business because you love what you do. But no one told you you’d need to be a marketer as well as a business owner to actually make money! And that part… kinda sucks.
We all know that if we want our business to be a business and not a hobby, we need to make sales. We need to make an income.
But if you’re not naturally good at sales, this can be a real sticking point. It’s hard to spend time on something when you don’t enjoy it, and it’s really easy to procrastinate on it when you’d rather be doing the stuff you actually love. As a result, many websites have very basic “announcement style” copy that fills the page, but doesn’t make any sales.
Converting website visitors into paying customers is a must for every successful business. So where do we start? Unfortunately, simply whacking a “Buy Now” button up your homepage isn’t going to do the trick. You need good copy on your website to build a connection with your reader, and to show them why buying from you is a great idea. You need to take them down a pathway that shows them what they’re missing out on if they don’t buy from you, and you need to do it in a way that makes them feel good about making that purchase.
Luckily, you don’t need to spend years honing your copywriting skills in order to write those high converting words. You just need Kris Jones!
Krs is the founder of Red Door Designs and a StoryBrand guide with over 20 years of experience with clients like Nike under her belt. She's extremely passionate about helping business owners and entrepreneurs create website copy that sells so they can multiply their revenue and focus on what they do best.
Kris believes creating copy that sells should be quick & easy and that your website can be strategically set up to convert new leads with ease. Her approach is based in authenticity, trust, connection and storytelling methods that convert without being pushy so that sales are a great experience for both you and your customer!

An online course is a fantastic passive income option to add to your business model thanks to its unlimited potential to scale without a lot of upkeep outside of initial setup and the occasional update.
But it’s not enough to just create your course and sit back and wait for the sales to roll in, you need to tell people about it and encourage them to buy it!
This is where a lot of us tend to get cold feet and procrastinate on creating our courses, or we build the entire course and then just let it sit there with a link or two on our website… and nothing happens after that.
Running a launch for your online course when you first release it, and a couple of times a year after that is a really effective way to boost sales, but so many of us feel overwhelmed at the idea of doing it. It feels like a big scary project that only the big names can do successfully!
Well, that doesn’t have to be the case anymore! In this episode, Marissa chats with launch strategist, launch manager and founder of Virtual Systems Sanctuary Kim Fernandez about how to make your launches simple and stress-free.

Are you a course-a-holic?
Do you find yourself buying online courses and not finishing them?
Have you ever bought an online course, only to discover you already knew the content?
Have you ever bought an online course and let it sit on your virtual shelf?
If you have, you’re not alone.
We love online courses, both as consumers and creators.
But there are only so many hours you can commit to learning & development as a business owner, so it pays to choose your courses wisely. Asking yourself these questions will help!

Want to make more sales from your emails?
First, you need people to open and read them.
How many emails do you have in your inbox right now?
How many have you opened today?
There’s likely a ton still marked “unread” that you haven’t got to yet (and probably won’t get to later either), and the same is true for your potential customers.
As an online business owner, the easiest way to make more sales is to get your offer in front of as many warm leads as possible, and utilising your email list is a simple way to do this.
People on your email list have already proved they want to hear from you and are interested in what you have to offer them, so it’s up to you to keep it that way.
But if your subject line doesn’t stand out, your email will get lost in every crowded inbox and remain unread until it gets deleted in the next big purge.
So let’s improve your email subject lines, get more of them opened, and increase your sales with 3 simple tweaks!

Getting testimonials is something a lot of entrepreneurs, business owners, and service providers procrastinate on because it feels awkward to ask for them.
Mindset blocks can come into play and hold you back from asking for testimonials, but it’s worth pushing through them because more testimonials mean more know, like, and trust with your potential buyer, making sales much easier.
Marissa’s favourite way to move through mindset blocks like this is to take a step back emotionally from it and make taking action as easy as possible. Here are 9 easy ways to get testimonials and social proof for your product, service, or business!

We put a lot of pressure on ourselves when it comes to goal setting. At the start of every year we set goals for the next 12 months.. and most of us give up within days.

Content is king. How many times have you heard that?
It’s a cliche because it’s true.
Regular content is the key to growing your reach and positioning yourself as an authority in your industry.
Your content is how people discover you, how they get to you know you, find out what you’re good at, and how you can help them.
When people understand how you can make their life easier, more comfortable, more fun, more profitable - that’s when you start to see more sales and more income.
But we’re busy. We get it, creating content is just another task on your already overflowing To Do list.
So let’s lighten your load with 3 ways to simplify your content and increase your sales!

Tired of feeling stressed and burnt out? We start our businesses for more freedom but so many entrepreneurs find themselves working longer hours than ever before because they’re responsible for everything.

Even if you love what you do, it shouldn’t be the only thing you do. We need time and space to rest and recharge, we need to be able to take a step back from our business and have a break without it all falling apart.

If you struggle with consistent content creation, this episode is for you!
Yes, we all know we need to create regular content to grow our businesses and develop relationships with our potential customers.
We get it! So why do so many of us post and ghost, popping up every few weeks or months instead of daily or weekly?
Maybe inspiration didn’t hit this week. Maybe motivation took a dive. Maybe imposter syndrome or comparisonitis reared its ugly head, or maybe life just got busy and we forgot or had to let go of something in order to juggle everything else.
No one is naturally good at creating consistent content. But it does get easier over time, the more and more you do it. And luckily, there are plenty of things you can do to hack your content creation in the meantime so you can be more consistent.
Tune in to hear Marissa's favourite ways to simplify content creation, and remember you don’t have to do them all. This is the Simpler Business podcast, not the Do it All podcast! Choose one or two that resonate with you and go from there.

Sometimes the start of the workday can feel so overwhelming!.
The day stretches before you, the To Do list feels huge, you know everyone will be calling and emailing non stop, and you can’t wait until it’s time to finish up for the day, even though it has barely started!
I hate having a whole workday in front of me. I can give about 2 hours of productivity and then I crave down time, so I’ve built my business around a 2 hour work day. It took time to get there, but it’s working well for me now.
If you hate the feel of a long work day ahead but you’re not in a position to pare back to just a couple of hours at work, there is another option to make it feel less overwhelming

What did you do for a living before you jumped into entrepreneurship?
Corporate lawyer turned Eastern-influenced leadership and women’s empowerment expert, speaker, author, and socialpreneur Anjani Amriit went from crisis to contribution.
After dedicating 20+ years to the cause in top law firms in the UK and Australia, with no personal strategies to manage the high-pressure environment, she burned out and decided to head in a completely different direction in order to change her career and life for the better.
Sound familiar? If you're a corporate dropout too or thinking of becoming one, you'll love the insights Anjani shares as she and Marissa chat about why more and more women are leaving corporate for entrepreneurship, and how can we make the transition smoother and more successful.

If you can find a way to really enjoy your work life as an entrepreneur, you’ll find it so much easier to show up consistently, build a genuine connection with your potential clients and customers, and sell your products and services without needing to be pushy or ”sale-sy”.
Adding more joy, ease and flow to your business is the key to helping you grow and scale without burnout, and monetising your expertise is a fantastic way to build a business that you'll actually enjoy working in!
That thing you find really easy to do? Other people struggle with it. If you're familiar with their pain point and can use your experience, strengths and skills to show people how to avoid or overcome it, you have a great foundation for building your own coaching or consulting business!
In this episode, Marissa talks to co-founders of The MindBug and creators of the Experts Accelerator program Matteo Bruschi and Renata Farah about their signature method to help you monetise your expertise and grow your business in a way that is easy to scale and reduces the risk of burnout. Their unique combination of passive business + scalable support is easy to apply to any niche and can be done step by step alongside your 9-5 so you don't have to jump headfirst into entrepreneurship without a safety net!

How do you feel about having difficult conversations as part of running your business?
Entrepreneurs wear many different hats, jumping from one thing to another while trying to balance it all, and when things get tricky in one area, there can be a temptation to just gloss over it and hope it fixes itself so we can keep focusing on the feel-good parts of the business.
The thing is, if you can get good at handling the hurdles that pop up, having the difficult conversations with the people you work with and the people you serve, you have the potential to make a really positive impact in a way that can also help your business grow.
In this episode, Marissa chats with workplace psychologist, facilitator, and organisational development consultant Leisa Molloy about how to handle difficult or challenging conversations.

Thinking that you have to show up on every social platform, every day (as well as finding time for the day to day running of the business, writing your newsletter, promoting your offers, serving your clients) can make you want to run and hide or wonder if you really should have started your business in the first place.
Can you really make this work if you don’t have a huge team working with you yet? Are there even enough hours in the day to consider creating content for every platform?
Don’t stress. In today's episode, Marissa shows you how to keep it simple and focus on the 3 things that will get you results, and tailor them to suit you and your business.

As entrepreneurs, we have a lot on our plate when it comes to running a profitable business and there’s a lot of advice out there on what it takes to grow quickly & make money with your biz. But a lot of the “must do’s” aren’t actually necessary!
