Publicity is such a big thing. And when we say the word publicity, it can be from getting published in blogs to getting featured in TV shows.    So today my guest is Sue Papadoulis from Publicity For Profit who shares the insights on how to get that free publicity for small businesses and solopreneurs without having to pay for it or having to hire expensive PR firms.    Sue is a journalist by trade. She started Publicity For Project with the intention to help small businesses understand what's news worthy about them so they can get stories about them and their business into the media, on TV shows like Sunrise, Project or the Today Show or whatever that is and newspapers, magzines or blogs.   It's all about getting small business owners get publicity for free without having to pay for it or without having to hire expensive PR firms.    "When there's fear, it's a sign of potential growth"   For full interview watch here: http://bit.ly/Interview-SueP Visit our we

Have you ever wondered why some people are extremely lucky while you’re not? Well, I hate to break the news but it’s actually preparation + opportunity that creates success and not luck. My guest today is Denise Duffield-Tomas. She’s a Money Mindset Mentor for the new wave of female entrepreneurs and she’s on a mission to help women create an amazing life in every aspect. She teaches women on how to manifest abundance, their relationship with money and psychology behind sales, marketing and making money. So what are some of the struggles that women face when starting a business? Guilt. Do you find it easy to make money or does money come to you easily? If people around you are struggling or if you’ve been taught that you need to work really hard to make money (but it’s easy for you), subconscious guilt might be stopping you from creating that wealth. Working hard. The secret sauce for success is the right strategy and doing less with more. So when you got it right, success

We tend to think that getting publicity is only for big companies and celebrities.  It’s not true.  It’s for solopreneurs and startups as well. In fact, it’s really important for us.  Why?  Because PR and Social Media can expand our reach, get our message out there, get our name out there, give us the opportunity to help more people and of course, boost our business. Now when I say PR, let’s not get too overwhelmed thinking about journalists and being on TV although it’d be really cool if when we start doing that. Let’s just think about going to a networking event. When you leave the event, you bring home a bunch of business cards. Half the time, you don’t even know who they are anymore. Most of the time, you don’t even look at the business cards again.  How do we get people talking about us when we leave the room?  How do we get people talking about us after they visit our website and/or social media?  That’s what we&rsq

There’s no such thing as overnight success.    Especially in the online world when we see others ‘crushing’ it, we tend to think it’s so easy for them but not us. Are they really crushing it? Is it really overnight success?    You’ll have to watch or listen in to find out.    My guest today, Amanda Jane Daley, is an Online Business Mentor for Health Coaches helping them share their message, get the word out and build their business. Amanda is one of those business mentors who’s spiritual, emotional, real and inspirational.    We talk about areas that are key in building an online business and no, it doesn’t start with your website or sales funnels.    "Follow your heart. Keep learning all you can. If you have a message to share with the world then you’re meant to get that out. There’s no rush. Don't race. Follow your truth. People who stick with the game get the success"   Watch the full interview here

Building a business doesn’t have to be so dull and boring. It is be fun, exciting and inspirational.   That’s what my guest today has done.   Carrie Green is the Founder of Female Entrepreneur Association (FEA) where she’s created a place for female entrepreneurs to come together for support, tools and inspiration. During the 4 years journey of FEA, it has grown leaps and bound changing the lives of many female entrepreneurs.   I believe in disrupting the status quo because we find excitement, success and fulfilment only out of our comfort zone.

At one point in our life, we come across this person who's just got that x-factor which they can use to solve literally almost any problem.    That persona is Jia Ni.    Jia Ni Teo is a transformational life and business coach to heart-centered women entrepreneurs and coaches with big visions. Her business coaching skills and intuitive style of coaching has helped her clients book high-end clients, move forward with their wildest dreams, and launch businesses that support their values and lifestyle goals.    Jia Ni started as a Health and Life Coach.

While she's making a difference in many women's lives, she also knows the value of continuously investing in personal developmen

Have you ever felt that something or someone stops you from living the life of your dreams?

My guest is Joanna Turner, a heart-centered entrepreneur, the founder of Mission for Balance ​and a Success Coach for female entrepreneurs.   After 13 years as a Chartered Accountant, Joanna felt burnt out, stressed out and she experienced health and weight issues.

Meet Jane Copeland, founder of the award-winning blog C​opingwithJane,​who managed to grow her own business from zero to seven figures, with a bouncing baby on her lap, in only 4 years.    Pretty impressive, don’t you think?   Her entrepreneurial journey began when she became a mom and she realised she didn’t want to go back to the corporate life. She wanted to take action and pursue success on her own terms, therefore she created a blog about what she was truly passionate about.    Jane now helps women build their own booming businesses and live the lifestyle of their dreams using online marketing.   In our interview, Jane talks about the importance of positioning yourself as an expert and how hiring a coach helped her make more money. She also describes her journey from founding a blog and becoming a blog coach to managing a super successful online marketing business.    Her secret? The right mindset for success - believing everything’s pos

Have you ever had a situation where you think life is really tough until you met someone who’d gone through much shittier days?   That’s Melinda.   Melinda Edwards from The Rich Daily.   She’s the Founder & the Editor of The Rich Daily platform for people to live a rich and meaningful life.   With The Rich Daily, she’s leading a movement called ‘The New Rich’ where entrepreneurship, success and wealth aren’t just for the big guys anymore. The internet, technology and massive cultural shifts are now enabling people like us to revolutionise the industry from their homes yet reaching more and making a difference.    Like most entrepreneurs, Melinda has gone through entrepreneurial nightmares and tough situations in her life. However, the thing that strikes me the most about her is her belief, determination and knowing that everything in life is ‘figure-outable’.   It’s not a matter of &lsqu

Remember the joke Seinfeld famously once said about public speaking? "The person giving eulogy would rather be in the box". In fact, people have voted Public Speaking at the top of the fear list above death, financial problems or even insects!    So I've invited amazing Laura Huxley, who just came back form New York giving a talk in the Gratitude Summit, to be on the interview today. You can see for yourself in the photo below how at home she was on stage.    Ever wondered "What's the secret sauce?" Well, I wondered too. And we're about to share.    Hold your horses.    Before we start, let's get to know Laura a little bit here.    Laura started her first business as a Virtual Assistant working with female entrepreneurs to support her acting career. She then found that these women she was supporting were struggling with branding and communicating their message to the world.   She found the gap in the market and she decided to step

I first met Jeffrey Slayter at his two days Humanity Event in Perth, Western Australia. I decided to go check it out for an hour. I ended up staying both days and getting my life changed.    I invited Jeff for an interview for two reasons; I wanted to his share his wisdom and I also wanted to ask him some questions.    For a long time, I've been questioning silently about society, cultural programming and spirituality. Especially the latter sounded woo-woo to me because I've been taught to focus on the outside world rather than the inside world. It all started to shift over the years when I gave myself permission to be weird in the eyes of many people and permission to find new tribes that speak my language.    I've said to many people that Jeff changed my life and he probably didn't even know that he did. I doubt he even knew me before this interview. So without me lingering on my story, here's a bit about Jeff.    Jeffrey Slayter is one of the worl

If you're reading this, you're probably one of those who believe that we all have a message that we're supposed to share. A message that will inspire many people. A message that can literally transform our life and other people's lives.   The message this remarkable woman has, is no exception. In fact, the one that's worth you getting a cup of coffee, get comfy on your favourite couch and switch off all the distraction for the next 30 or so minutes.    Tenille Bentley is many things but the one thing that made her unique, in my opinion, is her fearlessness and confidence, OK may be two! I've been talking about this for a long time now; how we should live our truth, speak our mind and not live by other people's expectations. She showed all of that plus much more during our short interview.    Tenille shared her story of how she toured around the country, Australia, with her first love who was in a band when she was a teen and how she aspired to be a singer. However, life

Have you ever felt like you're all alone as you start your entrepreneurial journey, having to deal with self-doubt, negative self-talk in addition to all the other stresses you had to deal with?    My guest today, Carissa, has gone through all of that including what she calls 'business bi-polar!'.    She shared her story today on how she became an entrepreneur, overcome the challenges she faced along the way, how she stayed inspired and her tips on running a successful business.   I was very much inspired by her down to earth and open personality yet a very determined nature to achieve what she believes in!    Carissa has come a long way from buying lollipops at local shop and selling them at double the price in her school at the age of 10 to now running a successful Business Coaching and Online Marketing Courses making a difference in the lives of many women who has come to her for her mentorship.    Carissa and I share very similar outlook towards life &
