Oct 27, 2019•44 min•Transcript available on Metacast Apparently Evan Carmichael is a comedian! 😂 In all seriousness though, I LOVED this conversation. We pick apart the difference between fear-driven work and procrastination and doing what you need to do to be professional. Speaking of being professional, in case it needs clarifying, I don’t advocate for punching anyone in the face! (Just don’t call me Tessa! 😂) . p.s.

Oct 26, 2019•1 hr 11 min•Transcript available on Metacast I’ve got a question for you: Who’s business are you actually minding? If you are overly focussed on what others are doing, you can’t possibly have enough attention for what is going on right in front of your face ... i.e., in your own business. It is fine to keep an eye on the market. It is fine to keep an eye on current trends. It is absolutely fine to make sure you stay current and relevant. But really? Is that what you’re doing? Or are you just being a nosy parker? Or a gossip? Or jealous? Or...
Oct 24, 2019•4 min•Transcript available on Metacast It was my great pleasure to recently interview Jim Sheils about the unique challenges of juggling parenting with entrepreneurship. His program for entrepreneurial parents, 18 Summers, supports entrepreneurs to succeed at home as well as in business. I truly loved this conversation with Jim, as it explored two areas I am most passionate about - family and business.

Oct 22, 2019•24 min•Transcript available on Metacast Do you find yourself posting to social media wondering “Is anyone even out there??” On a logical level, you know it doesn’t really matter how many followers or views or likes your posts get, right? You know who it matters to? One person. Well, okay two. Most importantly it matters to the ONE person today who identified with your message. The ONE person who no longer felt alone in their experience. The ONE person you helped today. And they might not even let you know. They might be lurking shyly ...
Oct 21, 2019•3 min•Transcript available on Metacast Do these three things if you want to overcome overwhelm in your business. 🔥STOP holding everything so close to your chest 🔥You need to trust that others will do the job. They may not do it the SAME way as you, or as completely as you, or as quickly as you. But who knows, they may just do it BETTER than you, or they might innovate in a a way you’d never thought of. But it doesn’t matter. You can’t do ALL the things AND survive in the long term. Free up some time by delegatin...

Oct 16, 2019•4 min•Transcript available on Metacast This is a question I was asked before dawn this morning during an interview with European motivational speaker, Daniel Weinstock, for his podcast. My immediate answer was yes. Partly because I have mentors, and I’ve grown significantly as a business owner through the work I’ve done since I started working with them. Partly because of the growth journey I’ve observed my clients travel along as I sit in the privileged position of being their mentor. But mostly it’s becaus...

Oct 12, 2019•11 min•Transcript available on Metacast I had a fabulous chat with one of my mentor clients this morning about their decision to take a slower approach to building their business, in the meantime adding more strings to their bow through other means. We talked about the fear that this meant failing in their business endeavors. We talked about the fear that their business might falter. And then we talked about alignment. If you decide to do something different to what you’d planned - and it’s aligned to your big-pict...
Oct 11, 2019•4 min•Transcript available on Metacast I’m always grateful to the posse of incredible minds that I have built over the last few years. No matter what issue, what question, what drama, or what celebration - I have someone I can turn to who will “get” that particular conversation. I don’t need to tell you how important it is to talk through the tough stuff. It’s what keeps us afloat. But did you know it can be utterly debilitating to not have anyone in your corner who can wholeheartedly cheer when you’re winning? O...

Oct 10, 2019•28 sec•Transcript available on Metacast What if there was no fallback plan, no safety net, no Plan B? How much energy and inspiration would you pour into your business then?

Oct 09, 2019•5 min•Transcript available on Metacast You know that to-do list you’ve got? You know the one? That one that never seems to get completed? It’s like being stuck in a hamster wheel, right? Endless. Monotonous. Not loving it! More than financial stress (which is occasional), more than staffing stress (which is situational), the never-ending monotony of your never-ending list of never-finished tasks is what gets you the most stressed, even if you don’t realize it. Because it’s death by a thousand cuts. Be...
Oct 08, 2019•7 min•Transcript available on Metacast I don’t care if you’re a “solopreneur” or running a team of 50, if you’re not able to fully own your role as the CEO of your business, you’ll stay stuck in overwhelm and the never-ending to-do list. Why? Because if you’re still stuck in the daily grind of the daily operations of your business, how will you see your big-picture vision? And if you can’t see your big-picture vision, how will you know where you’re heading? And if you don’t know where you’re heading, how can you possibly be strategic...
Oct 05, 2019•3 min•Transcript available on Metacast What being a finalist means to me and why I’m so excited for the awards ceremony tomorrow night, regardless of the outcome. Firstly let me just say that I was always the kind of kid that had a rather Pollyanna-ish approach to things like awards, “Someone has to win, it could be me, right?” ... but have never really been invested in the outcomes to things like this. When I think back on this, I think I learned as a kid not to expect to win awards (because I never did). Sc...
Oct 03, 2019•6 min•Transcript available on Metacast Today I had a great conversation within my Quiet Confidence Foundations mentoring group about (amongst other things) business niching. I know you’re familiar with the concept of niching your clientele … focussing on your ideal client - the one’s that really energise you. And honing your message so they’ll recognise themselves and their own needs as a match for your service. But something else struck me during this discussion. It’s easy to inadvertently blinker your vision and assume that this is...

Are you one of those people (I know I have been in the past) one of those people who waits until they’re a little fitter before starting an exercise program? Never gonna happen! Meanwhile … you could have been taking action towards your...
Sep 27, 2019•6 min•Transcript available on Metacast HOW DOES YOUR DAILY ROUTINE SUPPORT YOU? I noticed yesterday that I was completely “off”. It was raining when I woke up, so I didn’t go for my morning walk. When did a morning walk become central to me starting my day right? When did this become a habit that I needed to maintain? I don’t know the answer to that, but I do know that not going yesterday made it even more tempting to stay in bed this morning. But I got up and went anyway. And thank goodness I did! Did you see the sun coming up over ...
Sep 26, 2019•11 min•Transcript available on Metacast YOU WOULDN’T STAND IN THE RAIN EXPECTING NOT TO GET WET … and yet you go into business ownership expecting smooth sailing! It is not a statement on YOU if you hit rough patches in your business. It is not a statement on YOU if you have unexpected staffing changes. It is not a statement on YOU if economic forces necessitate a change in direction for your business. It is not a statement on YOU if you can’t find the perfect new recruit. It is not a statement on YOU if ...
Sep 25, 2019•3 min•Transcript available on Metacast People tell me they are amazed at what I manage to achieve in a day. That I manage to get my message out and share my knowledge and still run two businesses … the list goes on. But the reality is I’ve really had to wind back to simple basics over the past few months. As I’ve gotten busier and my businesses have shifted and changed, I’ve been drowning a little. What previously seemed so simple to stay consistent with, has become a struggle. Little things … Like doing a live stre...
Sep 24, 2019•5 min•Transcript available on Metacast I will repeat this message until I’m blue in the face. The stress, responsibility, financial risk, and sense of isolation common among business owners are not to be taken lightly. If you struggle with isolation, if you struggle with finances if you struggle with the burden of responsibility if you struggle with the isolation if you struggle with ANY of it. Please know you are not alone. I have struggled in the past, and no doubt will again. What has helped me get through the roughe...

How many times a day to you use lack of time as an excuse to not achieve something important on your to-do list?

I know you struggle to find the time to do all the things. If you’re like me, you’re juggling business ownership with family life and wondering why you never find time for a haircut. And who created all this washing?? Like me, you’re human. Also, like me, you’ve got the same 24 hours as we all do. If you’re tired of feeling like you’re ...
