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 …
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 …
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 …
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, …

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 …
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 …

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.
