Great images can grow your business!  Whether it's a professional headshot or photos that showcase what your business does in a visual story, having quality images help build trust with potential customers.

Without doubt, investing in good photography in my business over the years has brought in 10x the investment.

It refreshes your brand, gives you an energy boost, sparks attention, builds brand awareness and increases leads and sales.

Plus having a stock library of your own images differentiates you from your competitors, many of whom probably use the same generic stock images from image libraries. 

When you have a stock library of your own authentic images you can use them across social media, your website, your business cards, brochures and email signatures bringing continuity in your branding and showcasing your business personality.

In this session my special guest and AMAZING photographer, Sam Hunter joins me to share some great tips including:

• how to overcome your...

When running a business it's important to know your numbers right?

These are important documents that we need to be able to understand so that we can make better informed decisions in our business and yet we often get confused by them and so the value they contain for us to steer our business in the right direction is lost.

Unless we remove the double-dutch and can understand them in plain English.

On my recent trip to New Zealand, I was super impressed with the way a glass-blowing gallery called Lava Glass in Taupo created multiple streams of income.

I had seen their advertisement in one of the local attraction magazines from the Information bureau and was immediately captured by the images of the sculpture garden, plus I love to see glass-blowing in action, so I put it on the must-do list.

A short drive out of town we found the gallery and headed inside.

Upon opening the door you immediately step into their gallery/shop which was beautifully laid out with lighting used to highlight many of the pieces and showcase the craftsmanship (which you can see with the display in the background of the image below)

You are greeted by a friendly sales assistant who asks if you have been to the gallery before and then given a quick explanation on where to find everything...and this is where their persuasive (and elegant) sales process starts.

But before I get into that, let me share the...

Being in business is tough! And if you want to succeed you have to be prepared to go the distance and put the work in.

Too many entrepreneurs are pinning their hopes on having overnight success. That if they hang their shingle out, people will come. They are hoping that their Facebook or LinkedIn or Instagram or YouTube post will go viral and they can sit back and rake in the riches.

Unfortunately, this misconception is being sold all the time all over the internet. That you can make hundreds of thousands of dollars doing XYZ in a matter of months.

Sorry I have to call BS on that one!

The truth is that most overnight successes in business have at least 3 years of hard graft under their belts to reach that level of success.

There are four important elements to reach that success:

Planning

Discipline

Consistency

Patience

If you are using LinkedIn to generate leads and sales then how you set up your profile is critical to your success.

Many people still treat their profile as a resume holder putting in their position and duties which is okay if you are job hunting but not if you are prospecting.

The thing is, your prospects don't care about your title as much as they care if you can help them.

When someone visits your profile they will be looking at certain elements that will answer in their mind whether you are someone who could hold the key to what they are looking for.

Your Profile Photo
We know that people do business with those they know like and TRUST and having a great profile photo will help to make them feel trust toward you.  In fact, LinkedIn shared that a good profile photo will generate 21 times more profile views and 9 times more connection invites!

Headline
Instead of putting your title in your headline (ie:  Director at Julie Mason International Pty Ltd), put your value...

Having a website is great, but having one that works for you is even better!

We all have goals that we want to achieve. Some are simple and easily achieved, while others are big, hairy audacious goals that challenge us and can even scare the heck out of us initially.

While motivation might get you started, when it comes to achieving your goals or sustaining the results from those goals, you may need to rely on more than just your willpower.

Having an accountability buddy is a great way to help you stay on track especially when your motivation and willpower fades.

In a study regarding goal achievement by Dr Gail Matthews, a psychology professor at the Dominican University in California, results showed that people who wrote down their goals, shared this information with a friend and sent them weekly updates were on average 33% more successful in accomplishing their stated goals than those who merely formulated them.

So what is an Accountability Buddy and how do you find one?

An accountability buddy is a business peer who you meet with weekly...

Having debt is a reality for most Australians and if managed well can be extremely advantageous to building wealth.

However, what happens when debt goes bad? Sadly it doesn’t take much for this to happen…a bad business deal, a change in economic conditions or a simple mis-judgement and things can go south very quickly.

Financial stress is the top reason for relationship breakdowns and businesses going bust. When you’re drowning in debt it feels like there are few options and those that are available are pretty bleak.

That’s where people like my special guest Kitty Thomas can help.

Kitty is the Chief Angel of Debt Angel Solutions and helps to remove debt heaviness and help you take back control and replace it with new possibilities, empowerment and solutions.
