  1. Blueprint to Your First 100 Followers

    Blueprint to Your First 100 Followers

    If you're a young entrepreneur building your brand, you've probably noticed that getting your first 100 followers feels way harder than getting to the 1,000 mark. You aren't crazy, it is harder.  When you're starting from zero, no one knows you, no one trusts you yet, and it feels like you're posting into a total void. But here's the good news: your first 100 followers aren't about luck. They're about strategy and momentum. In this episode, I'm breaking down a simple, practical blueprint to help you move past zero and start working with the algorithm. Step 1: Start With Your Circle Many young founders skip this step because it feels a little awkward, but don't. Your first followers shouldn't be strangers; they should be your existing network. Text 10 friends or family members: Tell them exactly what you're building. Ask for the share: Ask them to follow and share your page to help build immediate momentum. Why it works: Early engagement tells the algorithm that your content matters, creating the traction you need to build confidence. Step 2: The "20 Comments a Day" Hack If you aren't visible online, you don't exist to the algorithm. One of the fastest ways to get noticed is to "borrow" attention before you have your own. Be strategic: Leave thoughtful comments on 20 relevant posts within your niche every single day. Avoid the "fire emoji" trap: Don't just leave emojis; write something smart so the creator and their audience actually see you. The Profile Funnel: When people see a smart comment, they get curious and check out your profile. If your profile is clear and valuable, they'll hit follow. Step 3: The Three-Times-a-Week Content Formula You don't need to post every single day; you just need to post intentionally. Stick to three posts per week using this specific mix: The Value Post: Teach something practical, like tips, frameworks, or mistakes to avoid. This positions you as someone useful and builds respect. The Personal Post: Share a failure, a lesson, or a realisation from your journey. People follow people, not just information. This builds a real connection. The Behind-the-Scenes Post: Show your workspace, your planning process, or your struggles. This builds reliability and authenticity. Why the First 100 is the Hardest In the beginning, you don't have testimonials or social proof. But once you hit that 100-follower mark, growth begins to compound: engagement increases, shares go up, and your own confidence grows. This milestone isn't about popularity, it's about proving to yourself that you're serious. My Challenge to You This week, stop worrying about the algorithm and start taking action. Text 10 people in your inner circle today and ask them to support your new page. Then commit to the 20 comments-a-day hack for the next seven days. Small, strategic moves create big momentum.

  2. Beyond the Numbers: Mastering Your Money Psychology with Tam Relia

    Beyond the Numbers: Mastering Your Money Psychology with Tam Relia

    We often focus so much on the operations, marketing, and "hustle" of our businesses that we completely ignore the one thing that keeps the lights on: the financials. But for many of us, looking at a bank account or a profit-and-loss statement doesn't feel like a source of pure chaos and anxiety. In this episode, I'm joined by Tam Relia, founder of Cents & Solutions. Tam is a former accountant of 16 years who realised that financial literacy isn't just about math; it's about money psychology. She shares her powerful journey of losing everything and rebuilding from scratch, proving that money is just a tool and that your mindset is your greatest asset. Why "Money Psychology" Matters More Than Math Most business owners make decisions out of chaos because they aren't financially confident. Tam explains that our relationship with money is often built on patterns we learned as children. The Scarcity vs. Growth Mindset: If you grew up hearing "we can't afford that," you might carry a scarcity mindset into your business, making you too scared to even look at your bank account. Awareness is Step One: You have to ask yourself, "Is this financial pattern helping me today?" If the answer is no, you have the power to change it. Confidence as a Leader: When you actually understand your data, you stop making decisions based on fear and start leading with clarity. Financial Literacy Hacks for Young Entrepreneurs You don't need to be an accountant to run a successful business, but you do need to understand these three core pillars: Profit vs. Cash Flow: Profit is what's left after expenses on paper, but cash flow is what allows you to breathe. You can be "profitable" on books but still be broke if your customers haven't paid you yet. The 1% Habit: Don't wait until you're making millions to save. Start by putting away just 1% of your revenue into separate accounts for tax, profit, and owner's pay. The 72-Hour Rule: Before making an impulsive business purchase or "sale" buy, wait 72 hours. If you still need it, then go for it; usually, you'll realise you can survive without it. Strategic Growth and Pricing Tam highlights that many women and young entrepreneurs struggle with underpricing because they lack confidence in their value. Value-Based Pricing: Price your services based on the value you provide, not just what your competitors are doing. The "Result Economy": Shift your focus from how many hours you work to the results you produce. The 2% Reality: Only 2% of women-led businesses get VC funding, often because they don't know their numbers when asked. Knowing your profit margins is the key to growth. Creating a Business That Runs Without You Tam shares her "No-Fridays" rule and how she maintains balance by focusing on tasks that bring her closer to her goals. On the Business, Not In It: Your goal should be to build a system that can eventually survive without you. Strategic Networking: Ask yourself which events are moving you closer to your "higher self" and your legacy. Connect with Tam Relia Website: centsandsolutions.com.au Email: trelia@sensorsolutions.com.au My Challenge to You This week, face your fears and look at your numbers. Spend just 30 minutes looking at your cash flow. Identify where your money is coming from and where it's going. Remember: you weren't born with financial confidence, you build it by taking action.

    3-Hour Workday? Bet. Let's Make Your Time Work For You

    Somewhere along the line, entrepreneurship got romanticised into a "5:00 AM grind" where you sleep for four hours and work for twelve. If you aren't exhausted, people act like you aren't serious. I don't buy that, especially for young entrepreneurs balancing school, jobs, or family life. You don't need more hours; you need more focus per hour. In this episode, I'm breaking down how to get more done in three to five focused hours than most people do in twelve distracted ones. The One Thing Rule The biggest mistake young founders make is trying to move everything forward at once: the website, the podcast, the logo, and the ads all at the same time. That is just scattered energy. Identify the needle-mover: Every day, ask yourself: "If I could accomplish one thing today that makes everything else easier, what would it be?" Prioritise the "Getting it Done" tasks: If you don't have clients, your one thing is outreach. If you don't have an offer, your one thing is building it. Ignore the "Busy Work": Tweaking your bio and reorganising your planner might feel productive, but they aren't moving your business forward. Win early: Complete that one thing early in the day so you have momentum, even if the rest of the day falls apart. Protect Your Focus: Power Hours & No-Scroll Mornings To make a shorter workday possible, you have to protect your brain from distractions. The Power Hour: Spend 60 minutes with your phone on aeroplane mode and notifications off. Pick one task and don't switch. You'd be shocked at how much you can do in one uninterrupted hour. The No-Scroll Morning: Don't touch social media before your workout, your reading, or your first Power Hour. Scrolling puts you in "reaction mode", where you start your day consuming instead of creating. Scrolling is not building: Especially for us, social media can feel like work, but consuming content isn't the same as creating it. Build first, consume later. Intentional Time Blocking To-do lists are infinite, but time blocks are intentional. If a task is vague, it probably won't happen. Be specific: Instead of a general "work on content" note, block out "9:00 AM to 10:00 AM: Content Creation". Schedule the "Optional": If it isn't on the schedule, it feels optional, and optional things rarely get done. Prioritise energy: The real secret is managing your energy rather than just your time. What I've Learnt About Productivity Entrepreneurship shouldn't be a 12-hour grind that leads to burnout. By using these systems, you can create a structure where progress is easier and your time actually works for you. It's about being smart with the moments you have, so you can build a business that fits your life. My Challenge to You This week, try the One Thing Rule. Before you start your day, identify the single most important task that will move your business forward and do it first. Don't let yourself get distracted by the "small" tasks until that one big win is checked off. Enjoyed this episode?

  4. Your Business Idea is Cool, But Will People Actually Pay for It

    Mar 11

    Your Business Idea is Cool, But Will People Actually Pay for It

    We've all been there, that "lightbulb moment" where you're convinced you've found the next big startup or the perfect side hustle. Your friends hype it up, and your mom says, "That's nice, dear." But here is the uncomfortable truth: Validation from friends is basically useless. Your inner circle wants to be supportive, not honest. In this episode, we're diving into how to test your ideas before you waste months building something that nobody actually wants to buy.  It's time to move past the "that's fire" comments and get to the "where do I pay?" reality. The Reality Check: Friends Are Not Your Target Market It's easy to get swept up in the excitement of a new brand. You might think that building the whole product and perfect aesthetic first will make everything smoother. But if no one is ready to open their wallet, you're just pouring time down the drain. Focus on the problem, not the ego: Don't fall in love with the idea of being a "success." Fall in love with solving a specific problem. Don't confuse attention with income: Likes and comments are great for the ego, but they aren't the main goal. Our goal is a well-run, growing business. The Stranger Test: The only feedback that truly counts comes from a total stranger who has no reason to spare your feelings. How to Test Your Idea Without Spending a Cent You don't need a fancy landing page or a prototype to start. All you need is clarity. If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough yet. The Two-Sentence Rule: Write one clear sentence explaining the problem and one clear sentence explaining your solution. The 30-Second Pitch: If you can explain the value of your idea in 30 seconds, you're already halfway there. Market Research Mode: Remember, at this stage, you aren't "selling" or "pitching", you are just gathering data. The "DM Test": Real-World Validation If you want to take your validation to the next level, try the DM Test. This is a low-pressure way to see if your idea resonates with people who don't know you. The Strategy: Reach out to 5–10 strangers or acquaintances who actually fit your target market. The Approach: Keep it casual. A simple, "Hey, random question, would [Solution] help you with [Problem]?" can tell you more than a month of guessing. What I've Learnt About Idea Testing Building a business is hard enough; don't make it harder by guessing what people want. When you stop looking for "likes" and start looking for "solutions," the path forward becomes so much clearer. Productivity in the early stages isn't about building the website; it's about confirming the demand. My Challenge to You Before you spend another hour on a logo or a business plan, do the DM Test. Reach out to five people who don't know you and ask them about the problem you're trying to solve. See if they actually feel the pain point you're describing. Their honesty might save you months of work, or give you the green light to go all in. Enjoyed this episode?

  5. Productivity Hacks for Young Entrepreneurs

    Feb 26

    Productivity Hacks for Young Entrepreneurs

    We talk about productivity all the time, especially as young entrepreneurs. Be more organised. Wake up earlier. Do more. Stay consistent. Push harder.  But if I'm honest, that kind of advice can feel overwhelming fast. It makes you feel behind before you've even started your day. So in this episode, I wanted to share what productivity actually looks like for me while balancing business, online school, content creation, and still having a life. For me, productivity isn't about doing more. It's about doing what matters. What Productivity Really Means to Me It's Not About Being Busy I've had days where I've ticked off ten tiny tasks and still felt like I achieved nothing important. That's when I realised being busy and being productive are not the same thing. Now, I focus on progress. Instead of cramming my day with small, random tasks, I ask myself, "What will actually move me forward?" Sometimes that's one solid piece of content. Sometimes it's studying properly for a subject. Sometimes it's sending the emails I've been putting off. When I focus on meaningful progress instead of perfection, I feel calmer and more confident. Planning Gives Me Clarity One of my biggest productivity tools is using a planner. I love mapping out my year, then breaking it down into months, weeks, and daily actions. When my goals are just floating around in my head, they feel huge and overwhelming. When I write them down and break them into steps, they feel doable. Planning helps me see the bigger picture without panicking about it. It turns "I want to grow my business" into actual daily actions I can take. My Three Big To-Dos Rule I Only Focus on Three Priorities Instead of writing a massive to-do list and stressing about all of it, I choose three big tasks each day. These are the ones that truly matter. The ones that will move my schoolwork or business forward. I might still brain-dump everything I need to do, but then I highlight the top three. Once I complete those, I know I've had a productive day. Everything else is a bonus. That shift alone has reduced so much overwhelm for me. I Break Big Tasks Down Even "big tasks" can feel intimidating if they're too vague. So I break them down further. If one of my priorities is studying, that might mean: rewatching a lecture, writing notes, revising them, and preparing questions. If it's creating content, I'll break that into scripting, filming, editing, and captions. When I know the exact next step, I stop procrastinating and just start. I Give Myself Flexibility Not every day goes perfectly, and I've learnt that's okay. Running my own business has taught me to adjust instead of quitting. If I don't get all three done, I look at why and reset for the next day. Productivity for me is about consistency, not punishment. Time Blocking My Week I Schedule What Matters Time blocking has changed everything for me. Instead of hoping I'll "fit things in," I assign time to them. School gets its own blocks. Business gets its own blocks. Even personal routines and looking after my guinea pigs are scheduled. When I know there's a specific time for something, I don't spend the whole day stressing about when I'll do it. It's already decided. That structure makes my week feel lighter, not heavier. I Adjust Without Scrapping the Plan Things pop up. That's normal. But instead of abandoning my whole schedule, I move the block. Having a framework makes it easier to stay on track even when life happens. How I Use the Pomodoro Technique Focused Work in Short Bursts I love using the Pomodoro technique, which is 25 minutes of focused work followed by a five-minute break. After four rounds, I take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes. During those 25 minutes, I protect my focus. No scrolling. No quick message replies. I'll often put on a musical soundtrack because the consistent sound helps me stay in the zone. When the music pauses, that's my signal to switch into break mode. Those short bursts help me tackle my three big tasks without feeling overwhelmed. Breaks That Actually Help I used to use my breaks to scroll, but that doesn't really refresh me. Now I try to make them proper breaks. I'll walk around the house, step outside, refill my water bottle, grab a snack, read a few pages of a book, or hang out with my guinea pigs. After four rounds, I take a proper, longer break to reset. That rhythm of focus and rest keeps me energised instead of burnt out. Why I Batch My Content Batching content has been a huge productivity win for me. Instead of filming one video today and another tomorrow, I'll block out an hour or two and record multiple pieces at once. I plan my ideas, switch outfits or accessories between videos, and keep everything ready so I can move quickly. I also record extra B-roll while I'm already set up because I know I'll need it later. Future me is always grateful for that. Grouping similar tasks helps me stay in the creative mindset instead of constantly switching gears. Scheduling So I Can Stay Consistent I also use a content scheduler to upload posts in advance. I'll dedicate a focused block to setting everything up, choosing the best times, writing captions, and then I let the system do the rest. That way, my content goes live while I'm studying, resting, or working on something else. Consistency is important to me, but I don't want it to take over my whole day. Systems make consistency realistic. What I've Learnt About Productivity Motivation comes and goes. I don't wake up every day feeling inspired and ready to work. What keeps me moving is structure. When I plan my priorities, block my time, focus in short bursts, batch similar tasks, and schedule ahead, I don't have to rely on willpower. I've created an environment where progress is easier. Productivity for me isn't about hustling 24/7. It's about protecting my energy and focusing on what actually matters. My Challenge to You This week, pick one strategy and try it properly. Maybe it's choosing three big priorities each day. Maybe it's trying the Pomodoro technique. Maybe it's batching one type of task instead of spreading it out.  Commit to it for seven days and see what changes. Small systems create big results over time. And if this episode helped you rethink productivity, share it with another young entrepreneur who's ready to work smarter, not just harder. Let's build businesses that fit our lives, not take them over.  Enjoyed this episode?

    Natural Skincare with Purpose: Deborah Terkely of L'ada Soaps & Scents

    Some of the most powerful business ideas come from lived experience. For Deborah Terkely, years of battling sensitive skin and seeking low-tox solutions for her family became the foundation for L'ada Soaps & Scents, a family business making natural skincare and home products that genuinely help. In this episode of the Youngpreneur Society Podcast, Deborah shares her journey from homemade soap to a growing small business, how customer stories keep her motivated, and the lessons she's learned about resilience, self-belief, and balancing work and life as a parent and entrepreneur. From Skin Struggles to Soap Success Deborah's business was born from a personal need. After years of dealing with eczema and skin issues, and watching her kids face similar challenges, she found that natural, chemical-free products made a massive difference. A bar of handmade soap given to a friend changed her child's skin and sparked the idea that helping others could be more than a hobby. Balancing Business and Family Deborah shares openly about juggling school runs, weekend markets, and business operations, all while making sure the products leaving her hands are top quality. For her, success isn't about scaling fast, but about building something meaningful that supports her family and customers alike. Why Customer Experience Matters From remembering customers by name to listening to their skincare concerns, Deborah believes genuine connection is what keeps people coming back. For L'ada Soaps & Scents, it's not just about clean products; it's about creating a brand people trust, love, and feel good about supporting. Resilience and Learning Through Challenges Health setbacks, business pressure, and unexpected life events haven't stopped Deborah. She shares how preparation, teamwork, and perspective helped her navigate difficult moments and how every challenge has taught her to adapt, grow, and keep showing up for her customers. Lessons from the Journey Deborah encourages all young entrepreneurs to back themselves, even when it's scary. There will always be outside noise, uncertainty, and fear of failure. But every step, win or wobble, is a chance to learn. Her biggest reminder? Start small, stay consistent, and believe in your own potential. Connect with Deborah Want to explore L'ada Soaps & Scents?

    Building 'Know My Fit' and Changing How We Shop

    Shopping shouldn't be a guessing game, especially when it comes to clothes. Yet so many of us struggle with inconsistent sizing, frustrating change room experiences, and fast fashion fatigue.  That's exactly what inspired Zoe Tiffen and her sister Nikki to co-found 'Know My Fit', a digital marketplace connecting shoppers with local clothing brands that actually fit. In this episode of the Youngpreneur Society Podcast, Zoe shares her journey from computer science graduate to startup co-founder and how real-world frustrations sparked an innovative solution. She talks candidly about the challenges of starting a business, staying motivated, and breaking out of the corporate "safe path" to build something with real impact. Why Sizing is Broken, and What 'Know My Fit' Is Doing About It 'Know My Fit' is on a mission to take the guesswork out of shopping. Zoe explains how the platform uses your measurements to recommend clothes that fit, not just in theory, but in real life. From tackling fast fashion to spotlighting local Aussie and Kiwi brands, this is a startup with purpose. How One Rejected Job Offer Changed Everything After securing a coveted grad role in Big Tech, Zoe's job offer was rescinded during mass layoffs. That moment became the turning point that led her to take a chance on her own idea, and since then, she hasn't looked back. Lessons in Startup Reality Zoe gets honest about the highs and lows of launching 'Know My Fit'. She discusses: Why motivation isn't enough, and what matters more The "chicken and egg" problem of growing a marketplace What no one tells you about customer acquisition Why feedback and community are key to surviving the messy middle Advice for Young Founders Zoe shares practical tips for starting your own business: Talk to people. Seriously, ask questions and be curious. Embrace what you don't know (and learn fast). Get used to slow growth. Progress takes time, and that's okay. Surround yourself with people who believe in your vision. The Vision for 'Know My Fit' Zoe's big-picture goal? To make sustainable, local fashion the norm. With more brands joining the platform and additional features in the works (think: Tinder for clothes), 'Know My Fit' is creating a better way to shop, one that supports designers, values fit, and reduces waste. Key Takeaway You don't have to follow the "safe" path to build a secure future. Sometimes, the most secure thing you can do is bet on yourself and start building the solution you wish existed.

A bleisure life means: Doing work that lights you up Prioritising rest, reflection and well-being Travelling with intention and joy Building a business that lets you experience life, not just chase goals Emma encourages youngpreneurs to regularly ask: "Am I living a life I love?" If not, what needs to shift? Building a Business That Works Around Your Life After travelling to more than 70 countries and growing a six-figure business, Emma's advice is clear: Know your values and let them guide your choices Start with what you have, your skills are more than enough Say yes to opportunities and see where they lead Surround yourself with support, mentors, peers, and professionals Emma also shares why downtime is essential.
