What do you do when life throws you something you didn’t expect at all? Yes, it happened today. I opened my email and there was an email I just hadn’t expected at all. Yes, I’d expected some sort of communication from the person. But never in my wildest imagination...

Come on now, I’m asking you to really think about this question. You see, the truth is that many of the women I speak to each day don’t value themselves. They live their lives for everyone else. They constantly put everyone else first. They don’t take time for...

It’s raining today! Seriously, raining. Heavy and steady. And that’s great! It’s been really hot here the last few days. And it’s spring here. Which means crops are being planted and trying to sprout and grow. So the rain is very welcome. In the paddocks and gardens...

My walk on the beach this morning got me to reflecting … How many grains of sand are on the beach? How many of each variety of shell are washed up with each incoming tide? The waves never stop coming. Minute after minute. Hour after hour. Day after day. Week after...

Would you like a tidal wave of “I love you” clients coming at ya? I know, you’re curious and you’re wondering. Who or what are “I love you” clients? They are those clients who you love serving, and who love you. It’s a mutual love-fest. A total win-win situation for...

What do you do when you’re tired of working for a boss and you know there’s just gotta be a better way to earn a living? You’re good at what you do, right? Better than anyone else who works where you do. Yet you’re tied to working for a boss. Being told where to go. ...

You are working really hard, to the point where you often feel overwhelmed.  You have a business.  You have staff.  You are not sure how you are going to pay your staff and your bills.  You have clients who owe you money.  It’s a vicious circle trying to work out who...

Many small business owners I talk to work huge, long hours.  They work really, really hard.  They work even harder when their staff take holidays.  And they don’t get to take holidays themselves.  Often they work for many years with no time off. Is this you?  Or, do...

So many of the business owners I work with are wasting money constantly on their marketing and advertising. You see, we’ve been sold a myth.  And that myth is that we just have to put our name out there repeatedly.  Over and over again.  Spending lots and lots of our...
