Hey Bosses. There’s lots of myths that business owners hold to be true. Too many to mention but I wanted to focus on one that may be holding your business back. 🌟 Myth: "To be profitable you have to sell more." 💡 Reality: Sales are crucial, but here's the thing: You can boost profitability by tightening up your costs, nailing down your pricing strategy, and optimising how your business runs day-to-day. It's about working smarter, not just harder! One of the key ways you are impacting your profitability is by: >>Not having any formal processes >>Not streamlining processes to make them more efficient >>Not understanding or accounting for all of the costs associated with the delivery of your service. It is important that you resolve these issues, or more sales could simply mean more work, more stress and less profits. Are you a service business owner, with at least one member of staff? Want to give your business the best chance of becoming more profitable through streamlining internal operations?

It's not as simple as signing on the dotted line (or e-signatures nowadays). Experience matters. Networks matter. It's time to level up your network and your net worth. It's the only way to fight inflation - you have to get ahead of it. If you're one of those people who bought an investment property at the height of the market and now, you're property is either in a negative monthly cash-flow and/or has dropped in value, reach out to me and I will assess your situation.

There's one thing that many business coaches, consultants, strategists, advisors don't often say in their marketing. I'll say it though: I cannot promise you magic results! I can promise you outcomes but I cannot promise you 100% that if you work with me, your business will become a 7 figure business within 6 months. I can promise you that I will share the frameworks, strategies, methodologies, guidance and support that can help you achieve major personal and business transformation. But the thing is, if you don't do the work, then you won't get any specific results. You have to be READY! I don't mean you must have a perfect business and everything is in place. That's the absolute opposite of what I mean. I mean, you have to be mentally and emotionally ready to do the work. To make a change. To put in the effort. To learn. To step outside of your comfort zone. To do things differently. You must want and be open to change. Working with me isn't a magic pill. You can't just listen and transform your life. You have to Take ACTION. You have to Save Yourself. I can help you, but I cannot do it all for you. But let me tell you, if you do the work, I can promise you will get everything you need to truly transform your business.

The 3 C’s in life—choices, chances, and changes—define our paths. Success often requires making a decisive choice and taking a calculated chance. Without that step, meaningful change is impossible. Whether in your career, investments, or personal growth, it’s the willingness to act that drives transformation. Make the choice, take the chance, and embrace the change. #success #thought #personalgrowth

Everyone gets depressed, but ALL entrepreneurs feel they can't tell anyone. The entrepreneurial journey is one long rollercoaster ride. And the highs and lows aren't easy. Not only do we have to navigate the constant ups and downs of business, but we're isolated in our stress. Since we're the ones in charge, we're supposed to have everything under control. And we can't talk to people who rely on us about our worries. It'll only panic them. The pressure is overwhelming. So, what's the secret to a smoother entrepreneurial ride? I tell you in this video.

Ever have anyone unsubscribe from your newsletter, investment offering, listing alerts…? I used to get irritated by unsubscribes because I want to be liked, believe I’m valued, viewed as an expert or a leader. I’ve gotten over myself to realize the content I put out there isn’t for most but for a specific group. If someone unsubscribes it means they don’t find the information valuable or they may no longer be interested in what I’m offering. I review the analytics for each marketing piece distributed for unsubscribes, subscribers, and views because I want to iterate what people find most insightful. For those that I know who remove themselves from a list I message them to ask why and what can I improve for future marketing.

If you ask me, there is a secret that so many business mentors out there do NOT tell you. And before I tell you what that secret is, I want to explain WHY they don’t share it. Because when it comes to the journey of becoming an entrepreneur, THIS is probably the hardest part that can't necessarily be covered in a 60-minute strategy session. This secret is something that is responsible for all their success. Although they do teach valuable skillsets and strategies, missing this detail makes it much more difficult for these strategies to work. What secret am I talking about? I am talking about the inner growth you achieve on your way to becoming an entrepreneur. I am talking about embodying the identity of an entrepreneur who is able to scale up. I am talking about different thinking, different actions, different vibrations, different BEING. As you probably understand, it’s not something that is easy to schedule. Because this process is SO individual. But at the same time, this process is what you NEED to check off your foundational checklist. It might take you a couple of weeks longer to build this foundation, but it will change everything once your growth starts. So you decide whether you let yourself be intrigued by the quick-fix business strategy or you choose the "solid foundation," which will be your million-dollar advice later.

I was in Banff at Real’s Canadian Summit, and the event was nothing short of amazing. We had so many incredible speakers, guests, and workshops. They all shared some insane (in a good way) ideas. Now, I want to share something that I noticed as a common theme across the board. All the ideas, all the speakers, and all the content were focused on creating change. Change into doing something. Change into being something. Change into manufacturing something that we are not used to all the time. And honestly, this is my biggest lesson from the event. Learning new things is hard. And doing new things is even harder… Some people might read that and think it’s obvious. But I see it as a reminder to myself, and a reminder that just because you don’t know how to do something doesn’t mean you can’t do it. Here’s what I mean… If you want to make a million dollars per year, and currently you make one hundred thousand, you are nine hundred thousand dollars short. The nine hundred thousand represents how much learning you need to do in order to get to your goal. Otherwise, you would have done it already. You can’t make up this difference by reading a book or watching some 6 minute tactical YouTube video. They might shift your perspective or give you a new idea. But ultimately, you won’t make up the difference just by doing those things. So here’s the X factor: Live events. By getting around the people who have done these things before, by connecting with them, working on new ideas with them, and learning from them. You get the benefit of closing that gap from where you are now to where you want to be, by learning from those who have already done it. So whatever your goal is… Attend a live event. And experience the change it makes in your life. I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it. Live events change lives.

Feel in control of your business finances with this simple exercise. “The Money Date” Here’s how it works: 1️⃣ Schedule a monthly 30 minute meeting with yourself (and anyone on your finance team) to LOOK at the numbers. Seriously. Keep the time constrained to 30mins or less. This is not an exercise in getting lost in spreadsheets for hours. ‌ 2️⃣ Look at the 3-5 MOST CRITICAL financial metrics that will tell YOU how it’s going and what needs attention. Here are a few examples of metrics to track: - Total Revenue: How much income did the business generate this month? - Profit Margin: How much of that revenue is left after expenses? - Cash Flow: Is there enough money coming in to cover outgoings? - Expenses: Are operating costs staying in line or creeping up?‌ 3️⃣ Do an evaluation What is working? In other words, which of your numbers are on track or on target? What isn’t working? Perhaps your expenses went up and it’s time to take a closer look and where money is leaking out of your business. Maybe your clients aren’t paying you on time. Get clear on what’s not working and choose on or two things that you would like to improve on. What do we want to do differently next month? ‌ 4️⃣ Take the actions you’ve outlined in step 3 and assign it as tasks (with clear outcomes and deadlines) to the appropriate team member. ‌ 5️⃣ Schedule a follow up session to check in on progress. Looking at the numbers (especially if you’ve been avoiding it) can be uncomfortable AND we can’t improve it if we don’t actually track it! The key is to make this FUN and actionable. Don’t blame and shame yourself if the numbers aren’t where you want them to be. Once you know better…you can do better, so just START! Tell me. How often do you look at the numbers in your business?

Budgeting can be freeing… If you have a solid budget and know your numbers, feel free to scroll on by… If that word makes you cringe, read on. I totally get it. Years ago, whenever my partner asked me to budget, I went straight into defensive mode about all of the reasons I wouldn’t let myself be limited by a budget and shut down. I also had little understanding of finances at the time either. I didn’t pay the bills, I had little savings, and high credit card debt. Then I became self-employed and avoiding looking at money was no longer an option. There are many things you need when running a business - subscriptions to multiple platforms and software systems, a website, business cards, networking lunches and dinners, conferences, professional development, insurance, legal help, accounting, bookkeeping, and the list goes on. I had no idea where the money was going within my business which was impacting our family finances. So I sat down and created a budget. In reality this was more of a financial plan. Here are the steps I took: 1. Reframed what having a budget would mean.  2. Analyzed my revenue over the past year and compared it to previous years. For me, the summer months and December tend to be slower while January and September are usually peak months. 3. Did a subscription inventory of all of my monthly subscriptions and canceled any overlapping subscriptions or downgraded ones I wasn’t using fully. 4. Calculated all of my fixed and variable expenses. 5. Calculated how much I needed to put aside for taxes and for upcoming or unexpected expenses. 6. Assessed it all. Thankfully I’m making a profit but if you aren’t, what needs to change? Are there things you can cut out or down? How will you increase money coming in? What services or products can you offer? Do you need to raise your rates? Are there slower seasons, what adjustments do you need to make to prepare? My budget and financial plan are something I have to revisit over and over. Especially when you’re a freelancer or self-employed and money isn’t always consistent. It will feel good to know your numbers and be able to create plans for the slower seasons. Here are 3 tips to make budgeting more appealing… DM me if you need support! #soleproprietors #solopreneurs #freelancers #budgeting

"My business hit 6 figures, something I always wanted, but it feels harder not better!" We often set financial goals and think that when we get there, every problem in our business will be solved because we have more money. It doesn't really work like that. If you build your business on sand, it will crumble under pressure. If your business is reliant on you at £100k turnover due to lack of infrastructure, that wont miraculously resolve itself at £250k turnover. The problems will just worsen! Fixing your foundations will actually accelerate the speed at which you reach 7 figures. And if you do it properly, you will have more time, less stress, better performing staff and better profit margins. A few tips: - Document your know how. Don't leave it all in your head! - Create canned emails. This is a HUGE time saver! - Automate repetitive tasks. Reduce errors & boost efficiency. Calling all service business owners 📢 > If you are fed up of being constantly tied to your business. > Overwhelmed by the disorder in your business. > Want to scale to 7 figures but scared that you will burn out before you get there > Are ready to take charge and become the BOSS you always dreamt of being Write "Freedom" in the comments to find out how the Build My Business bootcamp can help you: > Free yourself from your business > Boost your profits > Empower your team > Save you time and money > Help your business scale faster > Improve client experience > Reduce your stress and overwhelm Stop suffering when you don't need to!!
