This week’s episode will resonate with most of you business owners listening!  Ness Hartge is a VIP member of my Bold Darling Mastermind.  

She has run her book-keeping business, The Bush Bookkeeper, from rural NSW for the last three years.  

Just a year ago, she was in the thick of overwhelm / start-up stress / wearing all the hats… and not exactly LOVING entrepreneur life!  

In her words, she was a “slave to the business”. 

In October last year, she attended my Bali retreat and had some major breakthroughs that have completely changed the trajectory of her business, and her life as a result.

In this week’s episode, she generously unpacks those breakthroughs for the benefit of those listening who are currently experiencing those pain points. 

Expect a heart opening, raw and inspiring conversation!



We cover: 
The “before” and “after” of her life and business over the last 12 months
The lightbulb moments she had a year ago
The very first thing she did to change her situation 
Establishing boundaries with clients - what she’s done, how she’s handled it, and the difference it has made
Reviewing, and increasing, her prices 
What success looks like for her now



You can connect with Ness via Instagram - @thebushbookkeeper. 

You can join me for my next Bali retreat this coming October, from Monday 21st to Saturday 26th October.  There are just a handful of private and twin spots remaining.  Find out more here: lorrainemurphy.com.au/retreat-oct-2024

Why your energetic frequency is so critical in the manifestation process, and how to do that….  (my MINDSET month Masterclass)
How I recommend every business owner sets up their bank accounts (my FINANCE month Masterclass) 
Why profile building isn’t necessarily easy - and how to move through the resistance that comes up with “putting yourself out there” (my PROFILE month Masterclass)

The Best Expert Advice

Making his return to the show is…. my husband!

Wade hasn’t been on the show for quite a while so I’m excited to bring him back for a big chat post our move back to Australia from Spain.  He also answers questions from my listeners.

We talk about: 
What's exciting him about life right now
How his business went from a multi-million dollar valuation in February 2020… to being wiped out by COVID lockdowns 
What he actually does for work (I get this question a lot!)
The one topic that men always want to talk to him about when they meet him 
The concept of “inner honour” for men 
What I see as his greatest strength 
The traits he respects in other men
His recommended reading and resources for men looking to level up their lives
How women can support men to be in their masculine energy, and men can support women to be in their feminine energy
The recent retreats and personal development he has experienced - and how I’ve perceived the changes in him afterwards
How we manage to have time together and apart, and why it works so well for us
His “one parent” policy
His recent adventures in coaching other men 

I hope you enjoy this conversation between us as much as we enjoyed having it.

Resources he mentions:
Outlive, Peter Attia
Mastering the Rockefeller Habits, Chet Holmes
Sell Like Crazy, Sabri Suby
Mankind Project retreats
Kade Fallins retreats
