Being a business owner takes a lot of energy!! Showing up consistently to market your business, to serve your clients/customers, to grow it to become highly profitable AND it takes a lot of energy to show up for yourself, to back yourself, to believe in yourself to reach those big goals. Sometimes without even realising it, we can be standing in our own way. Blocked by uncertainty, negativity, self limiting beliefs, past experiences, the story we are telling ourselves.

My guest Kerry Rowett, a highly sort after Kinesiologist of 13 years chats with me today about her methodology of Align + Attract, which teaches entrepreneurs how to identify their specific blocks, get out of their own way, and how to align their energy to their goals

Key Takeaways

Decide what YOU want (big clue…notice what ISN’T working)
Release what’s misaligned with what you want
Align with your goals
Take aligned action
Reflect (notice what is and isn’t working) + REPEAT

A business won't last long if the offerings are fatally flawed. What’s an offering? It can be a product, program or a service. For it to be successful, it must effectively meet the needs and desires of your ideal customer avatar, be profitable to your business, and aligned to your business values.

Reviewing your offerings on a regular basis is an important business practice.

In this episode I give you a sample lesson straight from the Ready to Rise program, from a module called business pillars of success.

Key Takeaways

Avoid the biggest business mistake when it comes to creating new offerings
Avoid customer confusion by developing offering in congruence with what you want to be known for
Avoid burnout by avoiding spreading yourself too thin, trying to offer too many things
Minimise risk of a failed offer, by implementing a feasibility study
6 Reasons why you should develop new offers
When to discontinue an offer

I talk alot about Ready to Rise, it’s my signature group coaching program. It’s a program that is different from all the other business related online programs out there because it’s a holistic program for Mums made for more.

I decided to invite a few of my Ready to Rise program graduates to the podcast to share with you what it’s like to be in the program, what happens in the weekly group coaching sessions, and what it feels like inside the exclusive online group community.

WHY? Because you need to know from not just me but from ladies who have been through the program - how it feels, what they learned and how their business and lifestyle has transformed to what it is today.

I can help you go from feeling overwhelmed and exhausted and on the road to burnout to thriving as a business owner - but hearing it first hand from the ladies I’ve helped is how I can show you the real results!

In business we set big dreams, sometimes really big big dreams - which is exactly what you should be doing. Setting big dreams and going after them takes a truck load of courage! But in reality sometimes those dreams don’t end up happening! And that leaves you vulnerable to experiencing all kinds of uncomfortable and disappointing feelings.

In this episode of the She’s in Business podcast, I expose the finish line to be not the be all and end all. Your life will take you to remarkable places if you believe in your ability and keep moving yourself forward. And I believe the word that best describes this is resilience.

The key takeaways from this podcast

Acknowledging that allowing yourself to be courageous and vulnerable is continual practice for building resilience as a business owner
Trust in believing that all of your hard work is leading you somewhere, regardless of the goals you actually achieve - you will eventually end up where you are meant to be!
Not only does it take courage to build up your business, but it also takes courage to stop the things that are not working
I share a part of my business journey that left me feeling completely vulnerable but became one of the best business decisions I made

What would it mean if you were to step into your own light? To stand in the full version of who you truly are, be strategic and resolute in your business decisions based on the lifestyle you most want?

As an online course creator and business coach, it’s my mission to help guide, educate and empower female entrepreneurs to build beautiful businesses aligned to a heart-centred lifestyle.

My intention with this episode is to inspire you to tell the world about your superpowers, play big and claim your place in the arena.

When making the decision to stand forward and be seen for the amazing person you are, it’s not unusual to experience cognitive dissonance, in fact it’s very normal for entrepreneurs. So I share the 5 things you can do to guide you towards standing in your own light

Growth doesn’t sit in comfort
What people think of you is none of your business!
Don’t give power to things that haven’t happened yet.
Meet your fears head on
Surround yourself with people who have walked your path and are steps ahead of you

To kick off the very first episode of the podcast, I thought it would be polite of me to introduce myself and share my business journey thus far!

I have been inspired by businesses and business owners from a really young age! I’ve built, grown and sold multiple businesses and I now run a healthy 6-figure business that now takes care of itself (thanks to robust systems and awesome staff). I have the freedom to step away from work whenever I’m needed by my family, or whenever I want to take time for myself. But it wasn’t always that way!

I know first hand the challenges of having a young family to juggle. When they slept, I would work. When they cried at the door because I was leaving them with a babysitter, I would well up with tears of guilt. Sound familiar?

I’m married to a typical Aussie bloke, and Mum to our two boys. We live in a seaside town in regional Queensland and love to travel in our caravan whenever we can.

I’m a free spirit with a creative flair. I need to be grounded by nature (the beach is my happy place), creative with art (painting is my meditation) and physically active (dance is where my soul breathes) Being grounded is a continuous ache that if left unattended becomes suffocating. And so I’ve learned to take care of myself by pressing the pause button on a regular basis to practice these things, and as a result I’m a better me, a better Mum, a better wife and more successful entrepreneur.

Helping ‘Mums who are made for more’ grow their own business around the needs of their family, whilst also ensuring that they get the necessary down time to rest and recharge is a huge passion of mine! Why? Because whilst I have achieved great success with my businesses over the years, as a Mum of a young family, it hasn’t always been easy!
