The Surprising Business Lesson from Married at First Sight Whether the latest series of Married at First Sight Australia is your guilty pleasure or something you avoid, this TV show has an important message that online business owners should not ignore. Here's the scenario: You've always dreamed of finding true love. Experts find you the perfect match, and it's love at first sight. Both of you are head over heels. Your partner tells you they want more intimacy. You WANT to give them more intimacy, but you freak out and start sleeping on the couch instead. They start going cold on you because they feel rejected. Your relationship starts on a downward spiral... This is precisely what Tristan, one of the couples from the show, is experiencing. He is self-sabotaging his relationship with his wife Cassandra because he doesn't believe he is worthy to receive the love he wants. Now, consider this in the context of your online business: You've worked hard to define your niche, develop your offer, and achieve initial success with your customers. You're ready to make sales, but then: - You sign up for a networking event and cancel at the last minute. - You delay replying to comments on your social media posts. - You put off responding to emails that could lead to opportunities. - You hesitate to engage in Facebook groups or schedule an Instagram live to promote your offer. As a result, working on your business feels like a slog, and you're not making the progress you'd hoped for. If any of this resonates with you, you might be self-sabotaging. This is a common issue we see with our clients, and even mindset and accountability coaches are not immune to it... 🙈 There can be many reasons for self-sabotage: a lack of belief in your ability to succeed, unproductive habits, or simply feeling overwhelmed. Whatever the reason, we know how to help. We've supported individuals at various stages of their business journeys, from starting out to scaling up. Book a free call to see if our personalised 1:1 accountability coaching can help you stop avoiding important tasks and start taking meaningful action to grow your business. TL;DR: Pursuing your goals without the right support can lead to self-sabotage. Break free from unhelpful patterns with our accountability coaching. #MAFSAU #selfsabotage #mindsetmatters #businessgrowth

This weekend, I achieved something I never thought possible—not by running a marathon or setting a personal record at the gym—but by celebrating my daughter’s 1st birthday! 🎉 Keeping this little one happy and healthy has been the hardest, yet most fulfilling, journey of my life. (And yes, I now consider managing a meltdown over the wrong snack an extreme sport.) Over the past year, I’ve learned lessons that apply not only to parenting but also to being a good manager: 1. Clear and thoughtful communication is essential (even if you’re negotiating with a tiny human who thinks “no” is the only word in their vocabulary). 2. Mistakes are the quickest way to grow (like that time I thought bedtime could actually be “quick”). 3. Persistence pays off—keep going, no matter what (even when you’ve read the same bedtime story 10 times in a row). 4. Celebrate the small wins (like surviving a diaper change without a major incident). 5. Lead by example (because someone is always watching…and repeating your every word). 6. I can’t do it alone—just like at work, teamwork is key! At home, my wife is my number 1 team member, and I couldn’t do it without her. Here’s to the next chapter of parenthood and all the joys (and surprises) it will bring! #ProudDad #1stBirthday #Grateful #WorkLifeBalance #FamilyFirst #missrachaelforpresident

How I measure design success for my clients? (I serve a diverse clientele) Every client needs a different version of me. For an Aussie founder: - More free time for family and kids For a solopreneur consultant: - More focus on the business vs in the business For a B2B SaaS Copywriter: - Leveraging my 5+ years of design experience For an agency owner: - My creative direction for their full-time hires I give my best. They love it. For every client I make sure to: * Overdeliver * Create an easy process * Be clear on what they need Good design creates a smile in the mind. To me, every smile matters. Every design matters.

FREE ‘LUNCH AND LEARN’ #WEBINAR: Thursday 25th July 12pm - 1pm QLD Are Your People Falling Through The Cracks? Discover the Top 7 frustrations causing your team to crack and how to resolve them Ask any small business owner their Top 3 challenges right now, and the answer after dealing with cost of living pressures and struggling sales is usually not being able to recruit staff. So maybe now more than ever, it’s critical to understand what keeps staff wanting to remain in your small business rather than walking out the door. In my book, I outlined one of the 6 Wolves commonly influencing small businesses was staff including contractors. And those Wolves can certainly huff and puff very loudly especially when people start kicking the toys out of the cot and not playing nicely in the sandpit. However, if you haven’t recognised that, whether you like it not, the world of work has changed since the pandemic and that staff ARE looking for better opportunities and salaries to help them manage cost of living pressures; then your small business will not only struggle to meet customer expectations but the knowledge of your business operations could be on the verge of walking out the door and then what will you do? Now I’m not suggesting you bend over backwards and give staff everything they ask for. BUT it’s critical to know the frustrations staff tell me that they may not be telling you so this is my inspiration for my next Lunch and Learn Webinar Series. As I’ve declared 2024: The Year For Small Business Renovations, I hope you’ll join me for my next FREE webinar where I’ll share: 💡 Why you need to change your language and leadership style from managing your people to guiding them instead 💡 The THREE questions I ask staff to get the Good, Bad and Ugly of the workplace 💡 The ONE question you have to be brave enough to ask your team 💡 TOP 7 staff frustrations which could cause them to walk out the door (and please understand I could easily share 100!) So if you …. ✅ know something is wrong with your team but don’t know WHAT it is ✅ know what‘s wrong with your team but don’t know HOW to solve it ✅ are OVERWHELMED by being The Chief Everything Officer Then this FREE NO SELL Webinar will give you great examples and simple solutions to help you navigate the complexity and challenging times of small business. And if you don’t have staff as yet, please come along to know what to avoid when you recruit. Please click the link below to register and come along on Thursday 25th July from 12pm – 1pm. If you can’t make it on the day, please register anyway to get the recording. https://lnkd.in/gaNdKd3D Cheers Tamara #workshopspecialist #speaker #businesscoach #author #5littlebusinesspigs #repairyoursmallbusiness #renovateyoursmallbusiness #rebuildyoursmallbusiness #growyourbusiness #growyoursmallbusiness #businessgrowth #ProblemSolverExtraordinaire #businesscoaching #smallbusiness #smallbiz

We’re halfway through the year already… But don’t get disheartened if you haven’t achieved what you wanted by now. Sometimes life gets in the way and things take longer than expected, and that’s ok. You’re human, not a machine. You still have plenty of time. You’re on your own journey and life’s a marathon, not a sprint ☺️ To help you refocus and get back on track, now is the perfect time to do a mid-year review. Not sure where to start? I’ve got you covered my friend: 1️⃣ Review the goals you originally set for yourself. Are they still important to you? Do you still want to achieve them or set new ones? 2️⃣ Reflect on your progress so far. How close are you to achieving your goals? What would you do differently next time? 3️⃣ Recognise your achievements. What are you proud of? What have you done well? 4️⃣ Refocus your attention on the next 6 months of the year. What do you want to achieve? What are the action steps you need to take and milestones you need to reach? 5️⃣ Re-write your goals and place them somewhere you can see them daily. Make them a SMART goal (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time bound). Include the next action steps you need to take. Taking the time to review, reflect and refocus on your goals will give you a much higher chance of success. It also gives you valuable insights into where you can improve, what your strengths are and what’s actually important to you. So here’s to you and the next 6 months of your life’s journey 🙌 You’ve got this. Let me know how you get on with your mid-year review ☺️ With full belief in you, Camelia #midyear #midyearreview #smartgoals #reviewyourgoals #goalsetting #professionaldevelopment #personaldevelopment #personalgrowth #lifecoachperth #perthlifecoach #perthwellness #perthcoach #perthhypnotherapist #nlpcoach #nlpcoaching #learngrowevolve #selfawareness #selfdiscovery
