Do you welcome trick-or-treaters with a big bowl of candy, or do you switch off the lights and hope nobody knocks? If you’re in the second group, you’re not alone. We had a neighbour—let’s call her June—who wasn’t a fan of unexpected visitors. It didn’t matter if it was Halloween or just another Tuesday; any surprise knock at the …
The key to sustainable growth
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the increasing demands of business, personal life, and our own inner expectations. Many service business owners find themselves caught in a cycle of constant activity, pushing forward with ambition yet losing sight of the deeper purpose that once drove them. But what if the key to unlocking sustainable …
Does your profit have this one thing?
In the world of service-based businesses, success is often measured by the bottom line—how much profit you’re making. But for those truly driven by a purpose, the journey is about much more than just numbers. It’s about maximising profit while also fulfilling a deeper mission and unlocking the full potential of your business and yourself. Profit is …
The real thing
You’ve had success. You’ve won clients and earned referrals. But lately, it feels like things have slowed down. New leads aren’t coming in as easily, your inbox is nearly empty, and your phone stays silent. You need more clients, and you need them now. But despite all the tools, technologies, and courses you’ve invested in, …
Have you stalled?
You’ve demonstrated your expertise and delivered exceptional results. You’ve taken the leap to building your own business, but now you find yourself feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Growth has stalled, or perhaps your competition is gaining ground. Even though your clients value your work, your business isn’t expanding as you’d hoped. You’ve tried everything to create the impact …
Whirlwind of the past 3.5 years
I’ve been reflecting on the whirlwind of the past 3.5 years and what a journey it’s been. During this time, I started a second business, bought two investment properties, navigated the end of a long-term relationship, and became a single mum. I also sold a portion of one company, entered into a business partnership, and handled a major …
What’s your two things?
Last weekend, in a training session with over 400 participants, we were split into small groups and tasked with creating a business in just eight minutes—name, concept, and strategy for commercialisation. I suggested an idea, and the group loved it. When it was time for the room to vote (and we couldn’t vote for our own), they cheered and …
Embrace This Edge And You’ll Go Far
With 15 years of working with leaders and business owners, the one common statement I hear from all of them is this… I have known since I was young that I am different. The feeling of being different, of not quite fitting in with those around them. Whether it was a feeling inside, a knowing they had …
Do you have this one thing in you?
What I notice with many of the coaches I work with, and even business owners in my one-on-one sessions, is a deep, intrinsic love to serve. But it goes beyond mere affection; it’s a profound obligation to serve. Not an obligation that binds, restricts, or ties you down. Instead, it’s an obligation that frees you, expands your vision, and …
I didn’t see it
Picture this: I’m driving with my daughter in the back seat, and Justin is sitting next to her. We’re on our way to the airport, and everything seems to be going smoothly—until I make a wrong turn. Suddenly, instead of heading straight to our destination, we’re winding through the city streets, adding time to our journey. As we’re stopped at …
