Navigating Covid-19 As Small Business Owners
I recently saw someone write in a Facebook Group, “no one is going to be buying right now so I'm going to stop everything”. What that signals to me is her own mindset and her own belief rather than necessarily the reality. The fact that she is just going to stop all of her marketing, stop selling and close down her business because she believes that no one is going to buy from her right now. It is actually up to your customers whether they buy from you right now or not. Don’t make that decisio...

How To Win With Instagram in 2020
There is a lot of confusion and mistruths about marketing out there! In fact, I was speaking at an event about Instagram just recently and one of the attendees put up her hand. She said that she feels overwhelmed by trying to keep on top of Instagram. So I asked her: “how often do you think you should be posting?" Her response? She said that just a few months ago at another Instagram training that was told she “must post on Instagram 3-5 times a DAY if she wants to succeed”. No wonder she was...

How To Boost Your Productivity & Beat Distractions
Above anything else, time is often the number one challenge we face as business owners. Which is kind of ironic, because for so many of us, the very reason we started our business was to have more flexibility with our time, to be in control of our time, and ultimately have MORE time for the things we love. But in reality? We’re feeling stuck and pretty overwhelmed in trying to grow our business, and there just doesn’t seem enough time to get everything we want to do done. We can’t figure out...

Should You Create An Online Membership?
Did you know that acquiring a new customer is anywhere from five to 25 times more expensive than retaining an existing one, according to the Harvard Business Review? And it makes sense: you don’t have to spend time and resources to constantly attract new clients: instead you get to focus on keeping your existing clients happy. So what would it look like if 97% of your clients paid you again next month? This is the business I have created with my online membership. About 18 months ago, I was ...

Knowing Our Body to Better Our Business with Jema Lee
Let’s start with some honesty here. How many things do you do at the EXPENSE of your health? What do you prioritise AHEAD of your health? How often do you find yourself saying, "I just need to get this done"... "this project finished"... "this quote out"... and THEN I’ll focus on my health, on getting fit, or eating well? What if instead, we understood more about how our bodies work? And what if our bodies could actually HELP us be better, achieve more and thrive more in our day to day and i...
