Or perhaps you might think about engaging a business coach to help you set up the infrastructure in your business which would bring in more cashflow.

It is my passion to share with you important information on all things legal, so that you can set yourself up for success in business. In this episode, I’m talking about a topic that I believe is crucial for business owners to have an understanding around: properly tailored legal documents.

If you've been listening for a while, you'll know that I have founded my business on an ethos of empowerment, which is underpinned by doing law differently. This is something I talk about and put into practice every day when working with my clients.

As we assess our metrics and year-end goals, it's important to adopt the right mindset to build a thriving business. In this episode, I'll share with you three mindset shifts that played a pivotal role in my journey to building a multi-six-figure business.

As a firm believer in the power of preparation, I have always lived by the mantra, "There's no substitute for preparation."

So let's explore my exact process for planning and setting ourselves up for success.

In today’s episode, I'll provide you with some tips and tricks to ensure a safe and enjoyable event for everyone involved.

A new piece of legislation came into effect on 9 November, which brings in some new rules that apply to every small business. Those with less than 100 employees or under 10 million in annual turnover are regarded as small businesses. So, if this is you and you’re issuing agreements to your clients, you need to take great care to ensure that the terms you include in those agreements aren't unfair.

Today, I'm joined by my dear friend and incredible business strategist, Michelle Broadbent to share a conversation about the value of community for entrepreneurs. The life of a business owner can be lonely, but you certainly don’t have to do it alone.

Regardless of your preference for connection, I hope this episode inspires you to embrace community so that you feel supported as a whole person.

If you’re a long-time listener, something you would have heard me say over and over again is that prevention is better than cure. And I say this for good reason.

It takes a toll not only on their businesses but on their mental and emotional states as well. But the tears can be avoided and today I’m sharing how.

If you're anything like me, self-care is the first thing to go when the plate gets full and everything in life just gets busy. We often don’t prioritise ourselves nearly as much as we should in fear of being selfish. However, self-care is crucial to not only our own health, but the health of our business.

In business, things inevitably evolve and change. Our team grows, we create new offerings or perhaps we decide to take a completely different direction. When these things happen, it’s crucial that we ensure that everything currently happening in our business is reflected in our documents, systems and processes. Today, I take you through the annual legal health checklist that I've developed, so that you can safeguard your business and have that much-needed peace of mind.

Does the idea of selling feel icky to you? Do you feel hesitant to sell, or think of yourself as not being ‘salesy’?
