The stats tell us that only 10% of businesses will succeed in their first 5 years of operations. So what makes the difference? In this two-part episode I chat about business as if it was the game of "Snakes & Ladders'.

'Don't push, let it unfold' sounds like the kind of advice that is ideal, yet not very practical - especially when the message out there is often 'push push push' and 'hustle, hustle, hustle'! I work with so many business women who come to me after they have burned out, or become exhausted and are sick of pushing. They crave another way of working and another way of thinking. If you truly want to be leading your world (and not dragged along by it), then mastering the art of 'trust' is crucial. T...
I never thought I needed a mastermind. After all I had over 25 years in business, so what more could I gain? How wrong I was. Even though I had all that experience and was helping others build their businesses, I had NO idea how much I needed peer support through a mastermind. Joining a mastermind enabled my new business to leap from 25k to 123k in one year! In this podcast I share what my top excuses were and how you don't need to make the same mistakes I did! If you are thinking of joining a m...

It's that time of year hey? You set your resolutions, but by now they are starting to lapse. 'More willpower' isn't the answer, and in fact scientists are actually refuting the whole concept. What we need (and it's WAY easier) is habits. This is a short inspirational chat about the power of habits. It might just bring some relief!

We've all heard of the 'know, like and trust' factors of marketing. But really? Does it really mean endless social media posting? In this episode I chat about my three marketing 'w' approach, which has helped even the most introverted of business owners be more confident in marketing. You'll discover that marketing is about the wave, the woo and the wed! If we aren't making the income we want, it's usually because we just aren't 'waving' and 'wedding' enough... listen and enjoy the challenge. Fo...
I see so many 'new' business owners juggling multiple businesses - and usually none of them are making anywhere near the income they could be. They use the excuse ' Well, I'm a multi-passionate, so I'm doing lots of things and hoping that one of them will take off '. Listen to this short chat about what to do if you are juggling and struggling (or justifying) focusing on ONE thing - you might just be surprised at my suggestions! merilyn.com Follow me on Instagram: @merilyn Website: merilyn.com J...

In this episode I tell the story of my personal transformation from trauma and survival to starting my own personal brand and success over the last decade. I share how in one day, back in late 2009, my whole world crashed and that led me on a 10 year journey of healing, building, leading and forgiveness. I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing today without this very painful, and very instrumental decade. Come and say hi over at www.merilyn.com Follow me on Instagram: @merilyn Website: merilyn.com Jo...

There are many types of bees and they are vital little critters in the health of our world... but what on earth what have they got to do with building a business? Well, my clients know that I talk about three particular bees all the time to help them really 'get' the business building analogy. See which bees you identify with... 🐝 The first is the HONEY BEE. Now this one is described as a very social bee. I think of this bee as the marketing and client contact bee. Important in any business. Th...
Sorry Kevin, your Field Of Dreams philosophy just doesn't work with marketing! So many women meet with 'resistance' when it comes to marketing, especially those who have yet to make the leap from side-income to abundance. They have the 'build it and they will come' mentality, sometimes without even realising it. They stay in hobby-mode for way too long and it comes from a distorted view of marketing. This resistance is rooted in fear. Fear of visibility, fear of rejection, fear of failure. And i...

I've completely changed my mind on these subjects. The usual advice goes something along the lines of 'get a bigger vision', 'get organised' and to make sure you have 'me time'. Which sounds right... but is it? This puts us in the blame seat, as if we are doing something wrong - and I no longer believe this is the full story. This episode looks at burnout, overwhelm and exhaustion from a trauma-informed approach - I think you'll find it a welcome and refreshing point of view. Shownotes: merilyn....
Stop Striving, start Flowing. We hear the word 'flow' a lot lately. But what does it really mean? And how do we move from a place of striving to a state of flow? Especially when we are being told constantly to 'push harder', 'get over ourselves' and 'hustle'. This short episode is food for thought around the whole subject. merilyn.com Follow me on Instagram: @merilyn Website: merilyn.com Join the Tall Poppy Society...
The self-help and personal development industries have lied to us! They tell us to "fix ourselves", "get over ourselves"... and so we get on the hamster wheel of self improvement and are still left asking, "What's wrong with me?" In this episode I'm chatting with Dr Valerie Rein, whose new book Patriarchy Stress Disorder has raced to the best seller list. She has worked with hundreds of high-achieving women and discovered that they issues they all struggle with are not just personal (the 'what's...
