  1. Resilience, Curiosity, and Support with Parent Coach Mel White

    4 NGÀY TRƯỚC

    Resilience, Curiosity, and Support with Parent Coach Mel White

    Finding your purpose in business often means slowing down, getting curious, and being open to an alternative path. For Mel White, that path led from corporate marketing into parent coaching and youth mentorship, where she now works with both teenagers and their parents to create lasting impact. From Corporate to Coaching Mel shares how burnout and reflection led her to discover her true purpose. What began as youth mentoring quickly grew into a model that supports both parents and teens, bridging the gaps between lessons learned at home and those gained through coaching. Facing the Realities of Entrepreneurship The transition from employee to entrepreneur comes with unique challenges, particularly financial ones. Mel candidly discusses the risks, the privilege of support, and the constant adaptability required to run a purpose-driven business. Purpose Over Motivation Motivation is like a spark: powerful at first, but it quickly fades. What sustains entrepreneurs long-term is purpose. For Mel, regularly reconnecting with her mission and values provides the drive to keep going, even when things don’t go as planned. She’s rebranded twice, faced setbacks, and leaned on her own coaches for support. Each challenge has reinforced the importance of resilience, reflection, and remembering why the work matters in the first place. Authenticity Above All In a world where young people often feel pressured to conform, Mel champions authenticity as the key to confidence. She reflects on Australia’s “tall poppy syndrome” and how it can discourage ambition, but insists that shining brightly is worth it. An anecdote about being described as “an acquired taste” in front of hundreds of people shows how she reframes criticism as affirmation: proof that being yourself won’t please everyone, and it shouldn’t have to. Supporting Young Entrepreneurs Parents and mentors play a critical role in helping young people pursue their ideas. But support, Mel emphasises, isn’t about taking over. Instead, it’s about asking open-ended, curious questions, listening with genuine interest, and resisting the urge to immediately “fix” problems. Sometimes, the greatest gift is simply being a sounding board: someone to hear the ideas, celebrate the wins, and calmly acknowledge that setbacks are a natural part of growth.

  2. How to Build Credibility Without a Degree or Years of Experience

    How to Build Credibility Without a Degree or Years of Experience

    Many youngpreneurs hesitate to put themselves out there because they think they need a degree or decades of experience before anyone will take them seriously. The truth? Customers aren’t asking for your certificate; they just want to know you can solve their problem and deliver value. In this episode of the Youngpreneur Society Podcast, co-founder and marketing strategist Linda Reed-Enever busts the myth that qualifications equal credibility and shares practical ways to earn trust from day one. Why Credibility Isn’t About a Certificate The world’s most successful entrepreneurs didn’t start with credentials. They started with action, creativity and proof. What builds credibility is how you show up, not the letters after your name. Ways to Build Credibility Now Consistency: Posting regularly, updating your store, and showing behind-the-scenes builds trust. Sharing knowledge: You don’t need to be an expert. Share what you’re learning, teaching and creating. Borrowing credibility: Partner with others, collaborate at markets, or appear on podcasts to tap into new networks. Proof: Ask for customer reviews, share case studies, and create content. Each piece becomes a brick in your “credibility bank.” Your Challenge Choose one action to boost your credibility. Ask a customer for a testimonial, post a helpful tip on social media or collaborate with another youngpreneur. You could even reach out to the YPS podcast to speak with Charlotte, she would love to have you as a guest! Small steps quickly add up to big credibility gains. The key takeaway? You already have what it takes to be taken seriously. The move now is to step up and prove it. Highlights 00:41 The Reality: Trust Over Qualifications 01:22 Action Steps: Proving Your Value 01:46 Building Instant Credibility 02:51 The Power of Proof 03:21 Key Takeaways and Personal Challenge 04:06 Conclusion: You Have What It Takes Resources Mentioned in the Episode Why Fear of Failing Shouldn’t Hold You Back https://www.businessbusinessbusiness.com.au/why-fear-of-failing-shouldnt-hold-you-back/ Confidence: The secret edge every entrepreneur needs https://www.businessbusinessbusiness.com.au/confidence-the-secret-edge-every-entrepreneur-needs/

  3. How to Stop Overthinking, Take Action and Get Stuff Done

    How to Stop Overthinking, Take Action and Get Stuff Done

    We’ve all been there. Staring at a half-written post, endlessly tweaking a logo, re-reading the same email for the seventh time, or waiting for just the right moment to launch a product or big idea. Spoiler alert: that perfect moment doesn’t exist. In this episode of the Youngpreneur Society Podcast, co-founder and ideas and marketing strategist Linda Reed-Enever gets real about one of the biggest things that holds young entrepreneurs back: overthinking. Whether you’re running your first side hustle or launching your second business, the mind spiral is real. But it doesn’t have to rule your progress. Why We Overthink Overthinking usually starts with fear. Fear of making the wrong move. Fear of being judged. Even fear of doing too well and not being able to handle the success. Our brains are wired to protect us, so they create a safety net of “what-ifs” that ends up becoming a trap. The result? You’re stuck in planning mode instead of progress mode. And while you’re stuck thinking, the business you dreamt of stays paused. The post stays unpublished. The product stays in your head instead of reaching real customers. That’s the cost of overthinking: lost time, lost energy, and lost opportunities. Spotting the Signs Overthinking isn’t always obvious. Sometimes it looks productive, like “researching” a decision for days on end. Or rewriting an email over and over. Or waiting to share your idea until it’s perfect (which it never will be). If you’ve ever talked yourself out of something you were once excited about, chances are, overthinking snuck in. How to Get Out of Your Head and Into Action So what’s the fix? There are lots of practical, no-fluff ways to shake off the overthinking spiral and get back to doing. 1. Use a timer Give yourself 30 minutes to make a decision. No more, no less. Whether it’s choosing a name for your product or hitting publish on that post, the goal is momentum, not perfection. 2. Chunk it down Big dreams can feel scary. Break them into bite-sized, doable steps. Instead of “launch my website”, start with “write the About page” or “set up a Canva graphic”. Small wins matter. Reward yourself with something fun, Freddo frogs, anyone? 3. Test and learn Treat your actions like experiments. Nothing is set in stone. You’re allowed to tweak and adjust. Most successful businesses are built on trial and error, not flawless plans. 4. Share it Tell someone your goal. Accountability helps, especially when that someone is a cheerleader, not a critic. Don’t be afraid to share your progress (or your stuck-ness) in a supportive community. It helps you stay committed. 5. Reframe the story Overthinking feels safe because it delays risk. But action is where confidence is built. The more you do, the clearer things become. You don’t get better from thinking, you get it from doing. One Small Step is All it Takes Linda’s challenge? Pick one thing you’ve been sitting on. One email, one social post, one baby step. Don’t overthink the whole staircase. Just take that first step. Because here’s the real magic: you don’t think your way to success. You act your way there. If you’re feeling stuck, you’re not alone. And it doesn’t mean you’re failing, it just means you’re growing. Momentum beats perfection every time. So take a breath, pick one task, and get it done. Your future self will thank you.

  4. Lessons in Mindset and Growth with Sasha Eburne

    Lessons in Mindset and Growth with Sasha Eburne

    Sasha Eburne’s entrepreneurial journey began in the midst of uncertainty, but what she built has since empowered countless others. From launching her first virtual assistant business to becoming a six-figure business coach and now co-founding a sound healing and breathwork certification company, Sasha’s story is about resilience, mindset, and carving out a life by design. In this episode of the Young Preneur Society Podcast, Sasha shares her transition from corporate to entrepreneurship as a solo mum, the mindset shifts that changed everything, and her advice for young founders ready to start before they feel ready. Start Before You’re Ready As Sasha explains, entrepreneurship often begins not with a perfect plan but with a willingness to take action. Her journey from launching a virtual assistant business overnight to growing into coaching and certification programs illustrates that clarity and confidence come from doing, not waiting. Listeners are reminded that momentum is built by simply starting, even when the timing feels uncertain. Mindset Shapes Business Success in business is not only about strategy but also about mindset. Sasha discusses how shifting limiting beliefs, particularly around money and self-worth, can dramatically change how a business grows. By challenging old stories and reframing negative thoughts, entrepreneurs can create space for confidence, abundance, and sustainable growth. Creating Flow, Not Balance Instead of chasing the elusive idea of “work-life balance,” this episode reframes the concept as finding flow. Entrepreneurs can design their schedules around personal energy, values, and priorities, creating a lifestyle that blends business and life rather than keeping them separate. It’s a refreshing perspective for anyone who feels restricted by the traditional nine-to-five structure. The Power of Community Building a business can feel isolating when friends or family don’t fully understand the entrepreneurial journey. This discussion highlights why it’s important to surround yourself with a supportive network of like-minded people who celebrate wins, share challenges, and offer encouragement. Community is shown as not just valuable but essential for resilience and long-term success. Advice for Young Founders For those just starting out, Sasha says the message is clear: don’t let fear prevent you from beginning. With so much free knowledge available through podcasts, books, and online resources, early-stage entrepreneurs can start small and learn as they go. The episode encourages listeners to embrace curiosity, seek out community, and take the first step: because growth happens in motion, not in waiting. Highlights 00:45 – Sasha’s entrepreneurial beginnings and her first VA business 02:10 – How the pandemic became the catalyst for change 04:00 – Mindset shifts that fuelled her growth into six-figure coaching 06:00 – Reframing “work-life balance” into a state of flow 07:30 – The role of time-blocking and calendar management 08:45 – Building connection and community with other entrepreneurs 10:00 – Advice for young entrepreneurs starting from scratch

    Keitah Martens-Shaw on Building and Selling Businesses That Matter

    Keitah Martens-Shaw’s entrepreneurial story began not with a polished business plan but with a personal struggle. After a cervical cancer diagnosis in her early 20s, she saw firsthand the lack of thoughtful, meaningful ways to support people facing mental health challenges. This gap led her to launch a mental health gifting company from her garage. She didn’t have a team or funding: just purpose, resourcefulness, and drive. In this episode, Keita reminds listeners that starting a business doesn’t require confidence or readiness; it just requires action. Whether it’s securing a domain or posting your first social media update, the important thing is to begin. Start with Purpose, Not Perfection Keitah notes purpose can be the most powerful foundation for a business. Her business story begins with a simple, values-driven idea that grew into a global operation without funding, a full team, or a detailed business plan. Instead it illustrates how small, consistent actions, like registering a domain or securing a social handle, can snowball into something meaningful over time. The key lesson? There’s no such thing as the “perfect time” to start. Action creates clarity, and momentum comes from simply taking the first step Let Emotion Lead (Then Know When to Let Go) Building a business often means investing emotionally, not just financially or strategically. But what happens when it's time to step away? Keitah reflects on the emotional complexity of selling a business that’s tied to personal identity and purpose. She offers insight into navigating the practicalities of a sale: contracts, negotiations, and choosing the right buyer, while also honouring the emotional process of letting go. For young founders, it’s a real look at the human side of entrepreneurship, and a reminder that sometimes growth means making space for something new. Build with the Life You Want in Mind Entrepreneurship offers the rare opportunity to design not just a business, but a lifestyle. Keitah explains how founders can build with intention: crafting a business model that supports personal freedom, flexibility, and long-term well-being. Through the example of a wellness-focused startup, she demonstrates how aligning your work with your values can make business feel energising rather than exhausting. It’s a must-listen for anyone looking to balance ambition with lifestyle, and growth with sustainability. Every Business Starts with a Problem At the heart of most successful businesses is a clear problem worth solving. Keitah unpacks how lived experience can spark powerful, practical ideas that resonate with real people. Whether it’s a lack of support, inefficient systems, or poor access to resources, recognising and responding to those pain points can become the launchpad for something impactful. Listeners will be inspired to reflect on their own frustrations and how those moments might hold the seeds of their next great idea. Highlights 00:45 What inspired Keitah’s first business idea 01:45 Launching a mental health gifting company from her garage 02:52 Transitioning out of her first business and why she sold it 03:48 Creating a centralised platform for retreat discovery 05:42 Why no one feels ready, and why you should try anyway 06:48 The joy of learning something new with every venture 07:02 Keitah learnt when selling her first company 08:31 Why emotional ties can complicate business decisions 10:36 Discovering a love for business development 11:29 Finding (and losing) work-life balance 12:46 Favourite part of running a business: making something you love 14:46 Motivation shifts over time, here’s how to track it 16:05 Using retreats, meditation, and journaling to stay aligned

    Pioneering E-commerce and Scaling 'The Party People' with Dean Salakas

    In this episode of Youngpreneur Society Podcast, we sit down with Dean Salakas: entrepreneur, advisor and the former ‘Chief Party Dude’ behind The Party People - one of Australia’s most iconic party supply businesses. Dean shares how he turned a small family-run store into an e-commerce pioneer, becoming the first Google advertiser in Australia and introducing click and collect long before it became mainstream. We unpack the mindset behind his success: spotting trends early, building with limited resources, and ignoring the rulebook when it doesn’t make sense. Dean also opens up about what happens after a business is sold including how it felt to step away from his identity as a founder, and how he rediscovered purpose through consulting and supporting other businesses. Start Early, Move Fast Growth often rewards those who are bold enough to go first. Whether it’s a new platform, tool, or trend, being an early adopter can unlock outsized results. When you're the first one in the room, you control the pace. Dean notes success doesn’t always come from playing catch-up: it comes from trusting your instincts, jumping in, and iterating fast while everyone else hesitates. His key takeaway? Don’t wait for the perfect moment; create it. Build What You Can Afford Dean explains you don’t need all the bells and whistles to get started. In fact, trying to embrace “best practice” too early can drain your resources and stall your progress. Instead, he says what matters is resourcefulness. Whether it's using a spreadsheet instead of expensive software or learning to wear multiple hats, there’s strength in scrappiness. Hack your way through and upgrade later. What you build now just needs to work, not be perfect. Rethink the Rules The path to success doesn’t always follow the manual. Sometimes, the boldest move is doing the exact opposite of what conventional wisdom says. Whether it's launching publicly, selling publicly, or saying no to trends like “free shipping”, Dean says you don’t have to do what everyone else is doing. You just have to do what’s right for your business. Trust your judgment. The best strategies are often the ones you create for yourself. Let Go to Grow Leaving a business, even successfully, can bring unexpected emotions. When something has been your identity for so long, letting go feels like losing part of yourself. That shift can feel like standing still after sprinting for years. But it’s also a chance to rediscover your strengths outside the structure you built. Fulfillment doesn’t end when one chapter closes: it’s found again when you step into new spaces with curiosity and confidence. Every Conversation Counts No matter how big or small someone’s business is, there’s always something to learn. Dean believes everyone you meet has a story, a perspective, or a skill that can teach you something valuable. He also notes leadership isn’t about status: it’s about humility. When you approach people with openness instead of assumptions, you open doors to new relationships, ideas, and inspiration. Stay curious. Stay connected. That’s where real growth happens. Highlights 00:00 Meet Dean Salakas 01:00 The origin story: From family clown business to online retail pioneer 02:00 Taking over the business and early e-commerce strategy 03:00 How being first to market paid off (Google, Bing, marketplaces) 04:15 Building systems from scratch: Excel, Access & DIY ERP 06:30 The realities of hacking growth as a startup 07:10 The truth about work-life balance and family sacrifices 08:00 Going public with a business sale: Why it worked 09:00 Managing risk: suppliers, staff, and customer perceptions 10:00 Challenging convention and rewriting the rulebook 13:00 Life after exit: identity crisis and the search for purpose 14:30 Consulting and rediscovering the “thrill” of business 16:00 Transitioning to employee life: humility, tact, and learning culture 18:00 Embracing the role of the “new kid” in a new team 19:00 Final reflections: every person has a story, every business has value

    Empowering Change One Outfit at a Time with Rachel Gallagher

    Sustainable fashion isn’t just a trend , it’s a movement. In this inspiring episode, pageant queen and founder of About Your Clothes, Rachel Gallagher, shares how she turned a passion for education and modelling into a business that empowers people to rethink their wardrobe and their impact on the planet. Start Small, Think Big Changing the world doesn’t always start with grand gestures. Sometimes, it begins with your own wardrobe. Choosing secondhand, repairing instead of replacing, learning before buying , these are quiet acts of resistance against a fast fashion culture that profits from waste. The truth is, small sustainable actions add up. They shift demand, spark conversations, and remind others that mindful choices matter. So if you’ve ever wondered whether one decision can make a difference, the answer is yes , especially when multiplied across communities. Lead Where You Are Leadership isn’t reserved for those with titles or massive platforms. It begins the moment you choose to act with intention. You don’t need to be running a company or speaking on stages to lead change , you can do it in your household, friendship circle, or community group. By sharing knowledge, living your values, and inviting others to think differently, you create a ripple effect Every thoughtful choice becomes a form of advocacy , and that’s the kind of leadership the world needs more of. Purpose Over Perfection You don’t need all the answers before you begin. What you need is a willingness to care, to learn, and to take action anyway. The pressure to “get it right” often stops people from getting started. But movements aren’t built on perfection , they’re built on progress. Sustainable change doesn’t happen overnight. It’s shaped by curiosity, experimentation, and the courage to keep going even when things feel unclear. Give yourself permission to build something meaningful without having it all mapped out. Purpose is your foundation , perfection isn’t. Curiosity Creates Change The most powerful shifts often begin with a question. Where do my clothes come from? Who made them? What impact does my buying choice have? These questions may seem small, but they’re the gateway to greater awareness and action. When we stay curious , not judgmental , we create space for learning, growth, and transformation. Sustainability isn’t about shame. It’s about understanding our role in a bigger system and using that knowledge to create better outcomes , for people, for the planet, and for future generations. Highlights 00:00 – Meet Rachel Gallagher: Teacher, model, founder, advocate 01:00 – Combining creativity, education, and purpose in business 02:45 – How the modelling industry exposed fashion’s impact 04:00 – What sustainable fashion really means 05:15 – Becoming a community leader, not just a founder 06:30 – The ripple effect of education and conscious choices 07:50 – Building workshops that empower change 09:00 – Balancing purpose with practicality 10:15 – The joy of thrifting and everyday sustainability 11:40 – Hosting global workshops with the UN 13:00 – Why curiosity was the catalyst for About Your Clothes 14:10 – How to take your first step into sustainable fashion Resources Mentioned in the Episode About Your Clothes https://www.aboutyourclothes.com/

    I Am Not Good Enough Is Fake News

    Ever caught yourself saying, “I’m too young to be taken seriously” or “I don’t know enough to run a business”? If so, you’re not alone, and you’re also not right. In this empowering episode of the Youngpreneurs Podcast, we are here to call out one of the biggest myths holding back brilliant business minds: the idea that you’re not good enough.

They see fear as a sign they’re growing, stretching and stepping outside their comfort zone, and that’s exactly where great businesses are born. So next time self-doubt whispers in your ear, smile and say: “Thanks for the warning. I’ve got this.” Because you do. Highlights 00:00 Busting Fake News Myths 00:42 Understanding Fear in Business 01:32 Reframing Fear and Self-Doubt 01:56 Channelling Fear into Preparation 02:44 Taking Action to Overcome Fear 03:06 Micro Actions for Big Results 03:30 Tracking Wins and Borrowing Confidence 04:11 Empowerment Through Action Resources Mentioned in the Episode Progress Tracking Tree https://academy.enevergroup.com.au/courses/progress-colouring-tracking-trees-tracking-growth-in-business
