Instagram just brought out a new kid on their block Instagram Reels. Just when we’re getting comfortable with the different parts of this small and mighty social media tool, a new addition to it gets released! But I’m not complaining: for my students and me, Instagram is up there with the number one ways we attract, connect with and turn our beautiful followers into raving customers! And as the updates come out - we look at them, understand them, and then decide if they are worth investing our...

Have you heard the saying that you should charge what you are worth? I disagree. Your pricing does not reflect your worth as a person. And just because someone else has lower or higher prices than you, does not mean they are worth any more or any less. Pricing is one of the questions I’m asked the most from my students - and it can really get us stumped. And many of us are chronic underchargers! Here’s a small part of a recent Money & Pricing Masterclass I ran for my students inside The Modern...

Someone recently asked me what I’ve invested in for my professional development. Being a fairly open book when it comes to sharing what I’ve done in my business, I thought I’d step you through each year to date of my business in terms of the types of programs I’ve taken and how much I’ve actually invested in my professional development.

I’ve been having lots of discussions with my community recently about investing in accounting software, and whether it’s an expense they can afford. This often comes after they share the all too familiar stories about staying up to the early hours to sort out their books and not really knowing how profitable their business actually is. After regularly spruiking the tool that I’ve used from day one in business, I knew I wanted to ask someone from the company to come onto the podcast and do the ...
