Right now, many business owners are experiencing upheaval in their business. And something interesting is happening to every single one of us. And, that is that the chinks in our armour are showing.

Or wh...

There is one very specific thing that we teach business owners to do that quickly transforms their overwhelm to a feeling of excitement and renewed energy for their business. They get a laser focus and, importantly, they start getting more sales and are able to reach their goals sooner. What is this "wonder-drug" we are giving business owners you might ask? Well, it's something that's been around...

Recently I caught myself waiting for all the little ducks to line up and be in a row before I took action on something I wanted to do. I was letting myself stay stuck because of my inner chatter. I caught myself and got out of my' holding pattern'. Where in life or business do you recognise that you are currently waiting for conditions to be better/perfect before taking the next action? Who or wha...

In her book Power Attractor , author Gabrielle Bernstein says: "Find what inspires you most and commit to doing more of it! When we bring energy to what inspires us, we connect to our Super Attractor power and the manifesting begins." What she's saying is that when we do what lights us up, what we love, we draw to us all manner of things that we dream of, in our business and in our life. Our tag-l...

Happy new year. For many of us, this is a time of contemplating and deliberately creating the new year. A time for envisioning what we want to do better, differently this year. A time for starting and breaking habits. Each January for a few years, I've taken on Chris Brogan's invitation to set three words as a focus for the year. Chris Brogan is an American author, journalist, marketing consultant...

If you were to be bolder in 2020 than you were in 2019, what would you do? What gutsy goals would you set? Each year I ask our HerBusiness Network members to consider this question as we get to the end of a year. And, this is a question that I too have asked myself for many years. At the start of 2019 members listed Bold Goals like: Launch a new course Write an e-book Create a debt-collection app...

Ever since I was young, I've kept a journal. There were years where I religiously spilled my guts into a journal, my first romances, my deepest worries, my concerns. Then, for many years I did not write. Many years. Like most of my 20s and part of my 30s. Today I write daily. It's become a habit that I'm keen to keep up. One that I make a priority each morning, before I dive into my day. Here's wh...

Have you ever felt confused about making the right decisions for your business? Perhaps you've been in the situation where a lack of clarity meant a lot of time and energy was spent going in circles in your mind, maybe even procrastinating. Or, has jumbled mind kept you in a static position (or even going backwards instead for forwards towards your goals)? Imagine being able to clearly articulate...

In order to communicate effectively, we need to connect with our audience, whether that is ourselves if we are planning or working on an important project. Our partners… Our children… Our clients… Our social media followers… We connect when we are FULLY present with them. This means that we are truly aware of who we are communicating with and if they are ready to hear our message. If we are using...

If you've ever held back in putting yourself forward for opportunities… Going for that bigger contract… Charging that higher price…   Then this episode is for you.   Confidence is not (despite what those 80s motivational speakers tried to tell us) just wearing the right clothes, having a firm handshake and feeling good about ourselves.   The good news is that confidence is a habit that can be stre...

I love building networks!

And HerBusiness — has grown from a network of a few hundred people to a community of thousands of women. And here is a really important difference for you...

Word of mouth is the most important way to grow your business, yet nobody has a strategy for it. We just assume that it happens, without realising that we have to light a match to create the spark to cause the conversation. Nobody has ever said, "Hey, let me tell you about this perfectly adequate experience I had." Because that's not a good story. You need a 'Talk Trigger' to give your customers s...
