I’m a huge advocate for incorporating a mastermind into your offer suite and while I believe it’s a perfect complement to many businesses, it’s not necessarily the right fit for all business models. But before we go into specifics, one of the most important things to be aware of when it comes to running a successful mastermind is stepping into your role as a leader. I'm not talking about having the longest tenure in your industry or knowing everything there is to know. Leadership in this context...

In this episode, I dive into a conversation I have constantly with clients that doesn't get nearly enough airtime in our industry—the art of actually delivering exceptional group programs and masterminds. While we see endless content about launching and selling these experiences, there's surprisingly little discussion about how to serve your clients incredibly well once they're inside. Today I'm addressing something I'm seeing more and more: the "no structure, just Voxer" model that's being tout...

Today, I’m taking you through one of the most fundamental marketing principles that never goes out of style—getting hyper-specific with the problems you're solving in your business. When business isn't quite popping off like we envisioned, it's time to go back to basics, and this is where so many entrepreneurs get it wrong. Our brains try to convince us that bigger, broader problems will attract more clients, but the truth is that offers fail to convert when they're too vague or general. People ...

In this episode, I'm sharing why I've brought a weekly newsletter back into my business strategy and why it deserves the spotlight in your marketing mix. With email being 40 times more likely to convert than social media, newsletters offer something social platforms can't—direct access to your audience without algorithm interference. I share why I've fallen back in love with long-form writing and how newsletters give me the space to dig deeper than social media catchphrases, offering genuine, he...

"I am really in awe of how well everything functions within this business. It's not chaotic in any capacity." This was the message I received from my newest team member and I can tell you, that lack of chaos she feels is very, very intentional. Running a business without physical walls comes with its own set of challenges. The absence of spontaneous coffee chats and in-person energy means we need to be even more deliberate about how we create structure and connection. Today, I'm sharing my top l...

Let's chat about 2025. Businesses are feeling the pressure. Launches aren't hitting the way they used to, consumer behaviour is shifting and the tension from international trade disruptions feels like it's in the air we breathe. But here's the thing: I don't want to just graze through 2025 letting circumstances dictate the story. I want to charge in and make this a year where we, at Swift Ventures, don't just weather the storm—we thrive in it. Consider this your personal pep talk from your busin...

I’ve noticed a recurring theme lately when chatting to clients who run mastermind groups. It's this uneasy feeling that your business model, instead of granting freedom, is feeling more like a cage. The fact that this keeps coming up tells me there’s some sort of problem in the zeitgeist that we need to solve. So, whether you're running a mastermind or any online business, let's uncover why it might feel stifling right now—and how we can steer it back to the freedom lane. In this episode, we tak...

There's something so beautiful about running an in-person workshop. Especially if you operate mostly online, like I do.

I recently attended a mastermind at a beautiful retreat in New South Wales, where I had the privilege of spending time with a bunch of top-tier online entrepreneurs.

I first shared this episode back in 2022, which was just after GDP fell in the first two quarters of the year post covid. Now, we've just had JP Morgan share that the chances of a recession have increased to 60% in the wake of Trump's tariffs. This is likely to bring about a lot of fear inducing content about what this all means for your business. So, I'm here to remind you, 2025 gets to be a great year for you in business, even if there is some economic turbulence. This episode is just as relev...

I truly believe that we are in the greatest shift in work since the industrial revolution. AI has completely changed the game and as coaches, mentors, and consultants, we have a choice: Stay ahead of the curve or be left behind. That’s not at all to bring any sense of fear mongering because my perspective is that as we embrace AI in our businesses, we are saying yes to the opportunity to evolve and expand. In saying that, we do need to be intentional about how we go about it. Here are five key s...

There are so many things required from us as women in this modern life, that it’s possible you need a reminder: the whole point of scalable freedom in your business means that you get to create something incredible in your business alongside having an incredible life.

One of the key ways I’m supporting my clients to scale their masterminds this year is by creating scalable success plans.

No matter how different the businesses are, the same patterns show up for most business owners. Whether they're just starting out or running multiple programs, the core challenges to scaling don't really change. So if you’re loo...

The marketing world never stands still, does it? For years, we've relied on the classic marketing funnel: awareness at the top, nurturing in the middle and conversion at the bottom. But that's evolving. In 2025, there's a twist – the nurturing phase is becoming more significant. People are taking their time, exploring their options more thoroughly before committing. It's all about choice and being discerning about where they spend their money. Today, I want to chat about some exciting changes co...
