    Does your community deliver results?

    Does your community deliver results?

    How do you know if your community is getting you results?
    I guess the first question to ask yourself would be, what does “results” actually mean to you.

    Are you looking for more revenue, connections, advice, sales or maybe you’re just in the community to keep you stay accountable.

    Results don’t have to be driven by money, but I bet if you sat down and thought about it, you could name what aspects of your community are working for you. 

    And sometimes when we look deeper into the communities we’re in, we realise they’re not serving much of a purpose at all. If that’s you, it’s probably time for a change and you might need to think more deeply about what you need.

    Three ways to build your network as an introvert

    Three ways to build your network as an introvert

    I am a raging introvert. Yes, I love getting out running business events, meeting new people and being around other humans, but I also need a lot of downtime afterwards.
    As an introvert, I need a lot of space on my own so that I can recharge.
    When you run your own business, networking and building relationships is one of the key activities that you need to give attention to. But if you’re an introvert, that’s often not something you feel particularly enthusiastic about doing. 

    So how do you reach out to other business people as an introvert?

    I have a few key strategies that have helped me build valuable relationships as an introvert, and my hope is that they help you too.

    Online vs In-Person Offerings: The Great Debate

    Online vs In-Person Offerings: The Great Debate

    If you had to choose between an in-person or a virtual offering, what would be your preference?
    You might be sitting there thinking, well hang on there are pros and cons to both of them. I want to show up in my pj bottoms and a top knot which is great for virtual, but in-person that may be frowned upon. In-person is a lot more effort.

    But maybe in-person is better because we feel more connected to the other humans in the room, and we can achieve more results.

    You’re probably now more confused and for that, I’m not apologising. It’s a long-standing debate and one I’m eager to tackle for you. Let’s dive into the pros and cons of each approach for your business, and see where it leads.

    Have you outgrown your business community?

    Have you outgrown your business community?

    Are you currently involved in a business community that you absolutely love being apart of? I’d invite you to reflect on this for a minute, and establish what it is about your community that you feel makes it so special.
    To me, the ability for a group of like-minded individuals to come together, share experiences, offer support, and ignite inspiration is truly remarkable. The impact of community goes beyond mere proximity; it allows you to share struggles, benefit from collective wisdom and unwavering encouragement.

    Recently, I had the privilege of hosting the first Thriving Women Retreat for 2024 and in the words of one of our attendees, it was "amazeballs." When I was reflecting on the experience after the retreat was over, it wasn't just the content or the location; it was the undeniable power of community that we were all surrounded by.

    Entrepreneur or Employee - How I made the choice

    Entrepreneur or Employee - How I made the choice

    It was October 2017, and my life was about to take a major turn. I was faced with the prospect of starting a new job that I didn't really want. As I approached my 40th birthday, I also had a child who was about to start school and I couldn't shake the sinking feeling in my stomach. 
    My partner was a school teacher, and I knew that taking this job wouldn’t be entirely flexible. I was struggling to see how we were going to be able to ensure our child would have the stability that we wanted. How were we going to manage the inevitable sick child phone calls from the school, volunteering requests and all that other good stuff.
    I desperately wanted to be available for the needs of the family, and it was hard to imagine how my new role would accommodate this. I also wanted to be able to wear whatever I wanted every day, like my favourite pair of jeans!
    It was at that moment that I knew I had to make a change. I needed to create my own reality, one that would bring me joy and financial freedom.

    What is a business coach exactly?

    What is a business coach exactly?

    There are many misconceptions about business coaches. What do they do exactly, what qualifications do they have, and how do you use one to get the best out of yourself and your business? Emma McQueen gets those questions all the time, and today she sets out to answer them. She emphasizes her results-oriented style and the importance of alignment between coach and client. A business coach can serve as a sounding board, cheerleader, and accountability partner, but ultimately the client is responsible for their own success through their willingness to implement strategies and take action.
