This week I have consciously chosen to recast one of my favourite and most popular episodes of 2022 all about Champagne and post-it notes. You’ve recently seen me launch the Champagne Lounge, which was born out of what I’ve been doing for the last decade around setting goals and celebrating my successes with post-it notes on bottles of champagne in the fridge.  The joy of my success and the reason I’m where I am now is that I put my goals in front of me every single day. Every time I open the fridge, I’m reminded of what I want to achieve. And when I smash those goals, I get to drink champagne in celebration! As business owners and entrepreneurs, we are so busy constantly striving for our goals, we forget that we need to give ourselves permission to stop and celebrate. In this episode, I share the ritual that reminds me to stop and smell the roses when I achieve one of my goals. Every year I buy at least six bottles of champagne, stick my goals written on post-it notes onto each bottle, store them in the fridge and pop one whenever I reach that goal!  My champagne of choice is Veuve Clicquot, and I share with you the history of this brand and why it gives me all the feels! My challenge to you is - how will you celebrate your successes? How will your goals and dreams be at the forefront of your mind so that you can make them a reality? From publishing books, gaining clients and hiring new staff to doubling profit and buying a country house, all of these amazing goals are absolutely achievable. So, stock up on some post-it notes and champagne bottles, and get ready to celebrate your success when those goals are smashed.

Asking for help, for a lot of people, is one of the most difficult things we can do. The last few years have been challenging for us all, and for many business owners, the stress and pressure have taken their toll.  A lot of people are struggling right now so in today’s short and sweet episode, my encouragement to you all is to ask for help where you need it. You don’t have to struggle alone. There are people out there who will have your back, support you and encourage you through the tough times and celebrate the wins… all you need to do is ask.  If you’re stuck in your own head and keeping your challenges and thought processes to yourself, you’re missing out on a wide variety of ideas and ways of doing things that might help your situation.  We’re not meant to do life alone. There is a tribe out there just for you, which is exactly why I started The Champagne Lounge. Come join in and meet like minded people who are open to having those higher level conversations about life, business and everything in between. What area of your life or business are you struggling with right now?  I encourage you to be bold today and ask for the help that you need.  LINKS: Get access to The Champagne Lounge Book a Power Hour Session Invite me to Speak Connect with Rebecca: Website: https://www.rebeccasaunders.com/ Instagram: @therebeccasaunders

In today’s conversation, I’m joined by Mrs Unstoppable herself, Em Gee. Em is a marketing and mindset coach for female entrepreneurs and bestselling author of her book Uncertain to Unstoppable. In her book, Em shares her life journey moving through uncertainty and trauma to becoming unstoppable. This transformation was made possible by letting go of what people thought of her, adopting forgiveness and embracing personal development.  Often we all have trouble finding ways to stand out and face roadblocks when trying to step out of our comfort zone so I’ve brought Em here to help!  Mrs. Unstoppable became an avatar of Em’s, a little superhero in a pink costume who embodies who she wants to be and allows her to show up at a certain level in her business. She encourages all of her Unstoppables to do the same and asks them three questions to get them to dive deeper into who they want to be:  What does that version of me believe? What does that version of me think? How would that version of me like to feel? By working through these three questions, Em helps her clients lean into the wobbles along the way and start showing up differently in their businesses.  In this episode Em talks about her own journey to becoming unstoppable, how to move through the valleys and peaks in business, setting boundaries and finding space, and the three biggest rules she has broken and the benefits that have resulted from them.  Em encourages all entrepreneurs who are worried about what people are going to think to think about these four questions:  What's the worst that can happen?  What can you do to prevent the worst from happening? What you can do if the worst happens?  What's the best that can happen? Tune in to hear all of Em’s unstoppable advice and experience to start breaking rules in your own business journey and become the version of you that you’ve always wanted.

Even with access to the world at our fingertips, getting your voice heard as a business owner, a creative or an entrepreneur can be tough going. Algorithms don’t always work in our favour and are ads really worth it? If you’ve got a message that you want to get out there but you’re afraid of what people might think, worried about not being seen or just don’t know where to get started, I’ve got PR expert, Jaimie Abbott here to help. Jaimie is an award-winning media professional and international keynote speaker and has spent two decades in the industry working as a Radio and TV Journalist, Political Media Adviser, Managing Director of her own public speaking and media training company and a Communications Adviser for the Royal Australian Air Force. Needless to say, she has loads of experience when it comes to media, public speaking and presenting a message to the world.  In this conversation, Jaimie and I discuss some of the common areas people fall short when it comes to presenting, from speaking on a stage to Instagram lives. Jaimie talks about rehearsing, and how even the most experienced public speakers still do this. We talk about how to conquer your fears by being really solid on a few key points and why we shouldn’t ever be worried about putting the same message out there over and over again.  We’re all human, and we’re all going to make mistakes. But that can be part of the experience for whoever’s listening. We talk about embracing the human element and not giving air time to the negative comments that might come when you put yourself out there.

I have a meaty one for you today as I dive into my view on the culture of customer service today. Quite frankly, in the majority of businesses that I have interactions with, customer service as far as I'm concerned, is dead. So I’m broaching the topic today to talk about what we as business owners and consumers can do to create the VIP experience and change the culture of customer service.  In recent years, I believe that we have all become extremely complacent with the way we are treated, particularly by big business. Yes, covid made an impact. But that’s no excuse to not smile at your customers when they walk in the door, respond in a timely manner to queries or ensure that customers are getting the services that they paid good money for. We can do better. You, your customers and your community deserve better. In this episode, without going on too much of a rant, I share a few examples of customer service experiences that I’ve had recently that have left me cancelling subscriptions left, right and centre.  For me and my business, the VIP experience is a huge focus. I am consciously putting measures in place to create the VIP experience for myself and my clients every single day. I also share some examples of businesses that are doing an incredible job at treating their customers with the genuine care and service they deserve. I talk about how we can begin looking at our own lives and businesses to stand out in our industries, all the way down to the micro decisions.  As small business owners, we want to create raving fans, not resentful customers. I hope this episode inspires you to ponder on the level of customer service that you’ve been accepting as the norm and where, as a business owner, you can start leveling up to create an incredible VIP experience for your customers.  LINKS: Get access to The Champagne Lounge Join Business Uncorked - Exclusive Mudgee Dinner Series Book a Power Hour Session Invite me to Speak Connect with Rebecca: Website: https://www.rebeccasaunders.com/ Instagram: @therebeccasaunders

I love community. I love bringing people together and seeing other business owners collaborate, connect and support each other. It’s what I’m all about, but I know that some people still struggle with the idea of competition. So today I’m talking about community over competition and why this mindset is an absolute superpower.  I live in a small rural town and the joy of the community feel is a truly wonderful thing. In this episode, I’m having a conversation around building community and how it’s become somewhat of a lost art. I talk about why we need to be intentional about looking outward and supporting each other, not driven by a fear of lack. There are always more than enough projects and money to go around!  When I first started my business, I said yes to everything. After a while, I realised that there were certain projects I didn’t want to do so I niched down to focus on what truly lights me up. Now, I am continually referring business to other people, never in fear that I’ll run out of projects. It’s this mindset of collaboration, connection and support that we as business owners need to have.  Ponder on how you are showing up in your community. How are you supporting others around you and building up a network of likeminded people? Do you promote other businesses and help them thrive? Or do you say yes to every project, fearing that clients may not come back to you? Whatever industry you’re in, I know that when you hold a mindset of community over competition, good things will flow back to you tenfold. So today, think about how you can be more intentional about building community. When you do business this way, there is no end to the joy, connection and support you will attract.  LINKS: Get access to The Champagne Lounge Join Business Uncorked - Exclusive Mudgee Dinner Series Book a Power Hour Session Invite me to Speak Connect with Rebecca: Website: https://www.rebeccasaunders.com/ Instagram: @therebeccasaunders

Today's episode is for everyone who can get stuck feeling discombobulated and it then derails their entire day, week or year. Now, I absolutely love the word discombobulated. I try to work it into so many conversations because I just love the way it sounds but what does it mean? Discombobulated is when you’re a little bit confused, a little bit disconcerted, don’t know whether you're coming or going, and are generally feeling like a little bit of a mess.  Right now, I’m recording this in the midst of our renovation on our beautiful heritage listed house where I don’t currently have a dedicated workspace so I’m shifting around the space each day to get all of my work done. So I don’t have my amazing camera set up with my bright background or my professional podcast microphone or headphones and everything feels like a bit of a mess. It would be so easy to let it utterly derail me and not record content until everything has settled down and I’m perfectly organised again but I’m not going to let that happen.  It’s all about mindset and this year is all about doing everything with ease and grace. So I’m going to plan for the things I have control over and schedule everything when I have the space to do it. I try not to worry or stress about the things that I can’t do anything about.  There is always a way of working it around and take a moment to consider, “How can I solve it?” or rejigging your work week to fit around what’s throwing it out of whack.  I know we don’t have the time or energy to feel discombobulated in our lives or businesses so in this episode I’m sharing with you my strategy to refocus, restructure and get back on track to get everything done and find joy every day.  LINKS: Get access to The Champagne Lounge Join Business Uncorked - Exclusive Mudgee Dinner Series Book a Power Hour Session Invite me to Speak Connect with Rebecca: Website: https://www.rebeccasaunders.com/ Instagram: @therebeccasaunders

Today I’m excited to dive into an amazing topic with an amazing guest - J.Go (Jordan Gomez), a Body Positive Life Coach who helps women lose weight, gain muscle and feel confident in their skin! J.Go takes us through her fitness background and how she quickly realised that the focus and pressure on always trying to get smaller and punishing yourself was not the way she wanted to approach exercise. There had to be another way. J.Go explains how a focus on getting stronger and what food made her feel good, helped break the connection between her self-worth and size. Gym-timidation is real. J.Go explains how walking into a gym can often feel like a big step out of people’s comfort zone. She gives us some tips on how to start out on a fitness journey, and how to give yourself some grace on the journey. J.Go doesn’t just do exercise, she helps with food as well. How to eat your ice cream with no side of guilt. She explains how to navigate food when approaches to cooking and mindset are so entrenched in our upbringing. J.Go helps her clients break up with the ‘shoulds’. She takes them through an audit of how they speak around their bodies to release the guilt around food. We discuss the difference between saying ‘should’ and ‘could’ and how a shift in language can be really powerful. She helps her clients learn the power of words and the power of mindset.  Conversations with ourselves are hugely important. J.Go gives us some habits and rituals that will help on your journey towards confidence and feeling happy in your own skin. I know you’re going to love J.Go’s focus on self-love and body positivity as the ideal way to create long-term lifestyle change!

Welcome back to the first official episode of 2023 with what I think is one of the most important topics for the new year - boundaries. I made a conscious decision to take the last three months off. That’s right, three months! Following an absolutely crazy three years in my video production business, I was ready to hit pause. And it has been absolutely blissful. But how did I get to this point? In this episode, I take you through what my life has been like over the last three years, and how I’m planning for it to look in 2023. I’ve been able to sit down, look at my business and be really international in working out what I want to bring into 2023. My video production company is happily serving some amazing clients, and that will continue. But personally, I want to do something different this year. I share my plans for 2023 and explain how I’ve planned my time to ensure that I have space for production, family and friends, events and space for doing the next big thing. I also let you in on the two big projects launching this year and how you can be involved. Start thinking differently, practice self-care and and put those boundaries in place to keep out the burnout and overwhelm. This is all about making 2023 the best year yet. I know you’re going to make it an amazing one!

I am taking a quick break for a couple of weeks and I wanted to share with you some of the listener favourites from the back catalogue. If you haven't had a chance to listen to this one previously, or you're new here, I hope you enjoy this one! I will be back with fresh new episodes in a couple of weeks! ----- How are you showing up in your life and business today? I’m chatting with life enthusiast, entrepreneur, and most consistent ‘shower upper’ Anna Richards. Anna coaches women to show up, speak up and stand up. Even on the days when she doesn’t feel like it, Anna shows up online unapologetically and with authenticity. In this episode, Anna is giving you your daily reminder to show up just as you are. You don’t need to fake it and put on a smile, just show up and be honest about what you’re going through and how you’re feeling and your audience will be magnetised to you. When you can bring all of yourself to the table in a bold way, success and sales will follow. People buy who you are and not what you do. Anna started blogging in 2011 and found a love of storytelling. From there she has connected with people all around the world and grown her business. We talk about Anna’s boundaries, how to handle negativity online, and embracing every single day. Amazingly, Anna registered for a triathlon that was in 33 days before she even knew how to swim! The next day, she jumped in a pool and started practising. Not only did she complete the triathlon, but she has also gone on to compete in 8 triathlons and 2 half iron man competitions! She’s passionate about pushing herself further and she’ll inspire you to look at your own comfort zone today. Anna reminds us that life is not a dress rehearsal. We’re here to live boldly, unapologetically, enthusiastically, beautifully and abundantly. Stop waiting for ‘one day’ and embrace your life today.

I will be back with fresh new episodes in a couple of weeks! ------ I’m chatting with Jenny Hardman today about embracing tree change and how she and her husband, James, moved from corporate Sydney to country NSW to pursue their vineyard dreams.  We talk about the ins and outs of what the tree change has looked like, the highs and lows of taking on a 1868 heritage listed property and the huge amount of work required to turn the property into an airbnb.  Jenny and James still have big dreams for the future. They plan to open a cellar door alongside their newly planted vineyard and we talk about how they are navigating the path toward their goals. Many people dream of living that country life but actually taking the plunge is a whole other story. Jenny says that her biggest lesson has been finding the right people to help them on their journey. Running both a wine business and airbnb cottage, Jenny also talks about the importance of doing your research, solid marketing and building a strong network.  LINKS: Where to find Jennifer: www.airbnb.com/h/the-gatehouse-milton https://www.instagram.com/thegatehouse_milton/ https://www.instagram.com/enfantterriblewines/ https://www.nakedwines.com.au/producers/james-paul-marin

Erika is a full-flavoured, spicy inspirational speaker and mentor to thousands of women across the globe. She connects with an engaged global community and shares with tens of thousands of women on a daily basis to help empower, encourage and inspire them to step into their confidence. In this episode, I chat with Erika about how the Queen of Confidence started as her alter shego and her business journey from the Queen of Curves to the Queen of Confidence. Erika is radically honest about her life and shares how a decent dose of trauma, combined with a ‘shower wisdom’ moment in December 2018 launched her into unbelievable business success. Erika shares her wisdom about how she stepped into her greatness, the tactics she uses to deal with her inner critic and the power of journaling. Erika played a big role in my courage to be openly public about alopecia both professionally and personally, and I have no doubt her energy, beaming vibes and laughter will help shake up your fear and get you inspired to start stepping into your confident alter shego.

Going into the holiday season, there’s a tendency for our calendars to be completely filled up with events - work parties, family gatherings, social events… it can be a lot to keep up with! I’ve decided that I’m doing Christmas a little differently this year and I’m talking today about how I’m being intentional to avoid overgiving and burnout this festive season.  Often we push ourselves to the absolute max to get everything done and be everything for everyone. After a huge year in business, it can feel like we fall into a heap on holidays. And what should be time for rest and recuperation becomes a season of even more busyness, stress and obligation.   So today I want to encourage you to take the pressure off. Look realistically at what needs to get done and take the time to think about how you want to enjoy your holidays. I share the plans I’ve made for Christmas this year and how I’ve been very intentional about who I’m seeing and what I’m saying yes to.  You don’t have to do everything and setting boundaries is a big part of making sure that you’re able to show up with the right energy. Think about what’s important to you, how you want to spend your time and be intentional about doing it. And most importantly, enjoy your holiday season!

We are coming up very fast to the last few weeks of 2022 so today I want to explore how I go about preparing for the year ahead. 2023 is set to be a really big year for me but also one filled with loads of creative space. In this episode, I’m sharing how to make 2023 your best year yet in a very intentional way.  To start preparing for 2023, I sat down to think about what I want to be doing more of and what I want to be doing less of. It’s such a simple exercise, yet so powerful to discover the tasks that are really pushing the needle forward in my business, and which tasks aren’t. I do this on the business front but also for my personal life to be really intentional about creating my absolute best life. I talk about crafting time in my calendar for the things that are important to me. From dinner parties to travel, time with family and prioritizing self-care, I share some of the different ways I’m structuring my weeks in 2023 to show up as my best both for my business, myself and for the people around me.  If you’re a traveler, you might be intrigued, maybe shocked, by my new rule of travelling without my laptop charger. When the battery runs out, work is done! I share how this has been going and how it creates intentionality to give my all during work time and recharge my own batteries.  I also talk about my digital vision board and why I love setting big goals, thinking about the life I want to live and seeing those dreams become a reality. I encourage you to explore intentionality in your own life and think about You can make 2023 your best year yet.

This year I’ve placed a huge focus on taking time to have bigger conversations, meet new people, and experience new things. I’ve travelled, I’ve been on retreats, I’ve taken time out to ask myself deeper questions and be present. For me, it’s been about giving myself the space to really unpack and discover how I can make this life the best it can possibly be. So today I’m talking about the magic of space and giving yourself permission to have more space in your life and business. I’ve recently relocated from the city to a regional town, which feels so spacious but today I’m not just talking about creating a physical space for yourself. I’m talking about the bigger picture where we’re able to choose how we want to design our lives and businesses.  In this episode, I share some of the thoughts I’ve been having about designing the life I want and some of the ways I’m creating space to show up as the best version of myself on a personal and professional level. To me, that means removing some things that aren’t serving a purpose for me anymore and being in that uncomfortable space of percolation.  As business owners and business leaders, we have the opportunity to take stock of how we're doing things and evaluate whether we need to subtract things in order to move forward. Removing things that no longer serve you creates the space to let new things in, and to grow bigger and get better. I talk about what this looks like in my business at the moment in terms of my schedule, my workflow and the tasks that will really be pushing the needle forward.  While you’re listening, think about what are the things that you can let go of that are no longer serving you. And where can you give yourself the time and the space to be creative?

Today’s episode is all about self-doubt. I’m not talking about those little niggly voices we normally associate with self-doubt. I’m talking about looking to the future and wondering if you can make your dreams a reality. I share how the time I spent overseas over the past six weeks has given me the space to think about my business and where I want to go next. I was invited to speak at a retreat in Spain and it was both wonderful and discombobulating. Talking about my alopecia journey, how I’ve built my seven-figure business and how I’ve leaned into self-love rather than self-loathing was incredible but it was the impact on the audience that made me rethink absolutely everything. I reveal how since that event, I’ve started offering coaching sessions and speaking gigs and the response has been incredible! However, the idea of being more visible fills me with dread - I’m sure it does for you too. But truth be told, it’s actually a little bit exciting to be super visible and to get those dreams made into reality. So in the episode today I discuss how I confront and wrestle with self-doubt and what this has looked like for me. If you’ve got the negative voice that is yelling “why would anyone listen to me”, I’m here to tell you that that voice is not going away, it’s just a matter of seeing it for what it is - a load of junk. I’m pushing through the self-doubt and sharing my story so that you can grow your business, your life and your self-love. What is that one thing you can do between now and the new year that pushes you out of your comfort zone and brings you one step closer to living your dream life?

I’m joined today by the fabulous Donna Hann, who runs a business coaching business and is host of the inspiring podcast She’s in Business. Donna’s work empowers and supports women, primarily Mums, who either want to reshape their existing business or start a business from scratch without burnout.

We discuss the challenges when your family doesn’t quite get your business and the ways she navigated her marriage when her third business led to burnout. Donna also shares with us the beauty and upsides of working in a regional town, and how she serves her client remotely, which allows her to work with women as far away as Scandinavia! In our conversation, Donna shares that it’s really about finding what lights you up, and then putting the business skills around that. We also discuss intentionality and the value of personal and professional development. The juggle of parenting is real, and Donna shares such a grounded, realistic and inspiring perspective on how you can run a business, support your family and find pockets of time for yourself. Whether you’re a mum in business, thinking about children one day or just finding the juggle of small business all too real, this conversation will provide you with some inspiring gold nuggets to charge your superpower!

My guest on today’s show is Melissa Browne - she is an ex-accountant, an ex-financial advisor and an ex-working till I drop businesswoman! She’s my kind of lady and had the privilege of talking to her about finance. I know - we all hate talking about money, but it’s so important! As creatives, putting our creative and business minds in unison to build something that’s thriving, profitable and sustainable not only builds wealth for our future selves but it creates opportunities to be even more creative. And if there’s anyone to help us, it’s Mel. Mel shares the story behind the impetus she had for selling her accounting business, and how she came to launch a business that helps women become financially empowered and financially well in both their finances and in their businesses. Creatives often think of themselves as bad with money, but Mel encourages us to see how that is BS. Mel shares her observations that creatives are often incredible with money and business because they bring their innate creativity to cashflow, profit and finding innate solutions. She encourages us to break the money story that if you’re creative you’re not good with numbers. We also talk to Mel about how she came out of her introverted shell to be her unique self in front of the camera to grow her business. Mel is now a video powerhouse, and she shares her tips around batching, and how she makes it an enjoyable and productive experience. Mel also reiterates that is so important to get your business foundations right. If you’re relentless in getting the basics right, then you get the freedom to play and be super creative off that foundation. I know you’re going to love this episode - dive in!

This is a very special episode - it marks a whole year of podcasting. And so, it is the perfect episode to share with you how I celebrate success, and how post-it notes are key to this! As business owners and entrepreneurs we are so busy constantly striving for our goals, we forget that we need to give ourselves permission to stop and celebrate. In this episode, I share the ritual that reminds me to stop and smell the roses when I achieve one of my goals. Every year I buy at least six bottles of champagne, stick my goals written on post-it notes onto each bottle, store them in the fridge and pop one whenever I reach that goal! It means that every time I open the fridge, I am reminded of my goals. My champagne of choice is Veuve Clicquot, and I share with you the history of this brand and why it gives me all the feels! This is an exciting time to start planning for 2023. I share the four things I’ll do in November to set me up for success in 2023. My challenge to you is - how will you celebrate your successes? How will your goals and dreams be at the forefront of your mind, so that you make them a reality? LINKS: Sign up to Lights.Camera.

Today we are exploring authenticity and I can't think of anyone better to speak about this topic than Kat John. Kat is an authenticity coach, keynote speaker, podcast host and creator of the zerofks movement. For eight years she’s been working with people to powerfully manage the thoughts in their head so they can access their truth and focus on what really matters. In this episode, Kat shares the journey of how she transitioned from being totally tied up with thoughts that were detrimental to herself and her self-worth into expressing her authentic self and not caring what others think. Dance has played a huge role in Kat’s transformation and the zrofks movement. She explains her first experience of free dance and how transformative continues to be for her, and her community. Stepping into your authentic self is often made more difficult by pushback from those around us. Kat explains how she navigated this in her own journey and the ways she was able to hold space for herself. We also discuss digital detoxes (including some powerful micro hacks to reclaim your time and life) and how stepping into authenticity is more about letting things go, than being more of something. Kat is an absolute force. She provides a powerful and totally inspiring blueprint for how to stop getting caught up in your thoughts, and how to step into your own, true self. You are going to love this conversation. LINKS: Sign up to Lights.Camera. PROFIT! the 6 week business accelerator for videographers here Sign up to my FREE Lights. Camera. Profit!

Today’s guest is Erika Cramer (Erika from America!), aka the Confidence Queen talking about all things confidence. Erika is a full-flavoured, spicy inspirational speaker and mentor to thousands of women across the globe. She connects with an engaged global community and shares with tens of thousands of women on a daily basis to help empower, encourage and inspire them to step into their confidence. In this episode, I chat with Erika about how the Queen of Confidence started as her alter shego and her business journey from the Queen of Curves to the Queen of Confidence. Erika is radically honest about her life and shares how a decent dose of trauma, combined with a ‘shower wisdom’ moment in December 2018 launched her into unbelievable business success. Erika shares her wisdom about how she stepped into her greatness, the tactics she uses to deal with her inner critic and the power of journaling. Erika played a big role in my courage to be openly public about alopecia both professionally and personally, and I have no doubt her energy, beaming vibes and laughter will help shake up your fear and get you inspired to start stepping into your confident alter shego. Erika fills up my cup and I know this conversation will do the same for you. LINKS: Erika Kramer’s Creating Confidence Cheat Sheet The life-changingShower Notes Sign up to Lights.Camera.

The episode today is a solo episode to share where I’m at, as well as reveal a new and very different string I’m adding to my bow! I’m recording from New York City, where I’m pushing myself out of my comfort zone and travelling solo for a week. I’ve just spent an incredible week in Hawaii with one of my business mentors, and am about to jump into another business retreat in Spain, as well as catching up with friends and family in the UK. 2022 has been a jam-packed year - I share what I’ve been up to, and how I’ve been able to kick some pretty serious business and personal life goals, all while running my video production seamlessly. Now, I’m listening to what every bone in my body is telling me to do, and that is to help other video business owners become successful in their video businesses. Lights. Camera. PROFIT! is a 6-week business accelerator for videographers. I have successfully built my business from 0 to seven figures in the middle of a pandemic, the complete opposite to almost every other video business owner. I share how systems, automation and my laser-sharp focus on business operations has enabled me to do this. This course is essentially sharing my secret sauce with my competitors. I share why I want to do this, and what is fueling my passion for this next project. I also reveal what the program will look like, and how it will enable other video business owners to build six future and multi-six figure businesses! I’m super excited about this next journey and sharing my knowledge with the world. I am so grateful that you're tuning in, supporting my video business and my vision. I know you’ll feel inspired after listening to this episode and, if you're a video business owner that wants to level up, I hope you’ll join me on this journey.

I’ve got something a little fun and different for you today - a two way conversation with a true multidisciplinary visionary, Hannah Nieves. We share our learnings from Necker Island and the power of presence and connections. Hannah Nieves is the founder of Hannah Nieves Consulting, a full service consulting agency; HN Haus, a network and education platform for multi-passionate women; and This Hudson Studio, a multifunctional creative studio in the Hudson Valley. With three brands under her wing, Hannah knows the complexities of running multiple brands and has a passion for serving multidisciplinary founders. In this episode, Hannah and I reflect on our time together at Sir Richard Branson’s Necker Island, which is something I had on my vision board for such a long time. We both came away with some incredible learnings, in particular the power of being present and creating deeper connections through authenticity. It was an amazing experience to gather with people we’d never met before and build such deep connections.  We talk about building a simplistic business and life, the importance of self care and how we both approach this in our own lives to maintain a sense of balance. Our time away on Necker Island taught us about being clear on our values, and owning the greater mission behind why you do what you do.  I went to Necker Island at a time when I was really burnt out from a hectic couple of years of business. With no preconceived expectations, it surprised me how grounded I felt on the island and I’m so grateful for the connections I made with incredible people like Hannah. I hope you love this conversation and feel inspired as we reflect on the unique experience we shared together.

I am absolutely pumped to have Jill Stanton on the show today as we dive into the production, marketing, and lifestyle of online course creation. Jill (along with her husband Josh) is one of the biggest players in the coaching and course production world. In this episode Jill shares the learnings, challenges, highs and lows of working with her husband Josh as they built their company Wealthy Course Creator. Recently, Jill has stepped back from that business to step into her soul play work - Millionaire Girls Club (MGC). MGC is a coaching and luxury retreat company that connects and empowers women that are in the $1M plus circle to create unforgettable experiences. Jill shares how incredibly intimidated she was initially by her vision for this company. After a history of sister wounds and difficult female relationships, setting up a company that creating spaces for women felt like the most terrifying thing she could think of. But after a transformational moment with Tony Robbins, Jill came to understand the point of the challenges she had previously faced and emerged with a whole new vision and understanding of what was possible. This conversation dives deep into so many areas that feel valuable, both for course creation, but also what it’s like to grow, sustain and thrive in business. Jill shares her biggest lessons, how to grow a following and community and how to find the balance, energetically, with live coaching. She also shares her incredible wisdom around how to avoid burnout, the journey she’s taken to navigate her triggers and how setting boundaries and expectations is the most loving thing you can do for your community. We also talk about the power of understanding that you don’t need to be all things to all people and how isolating playing at the highest level can be. Jill hosted her first retreat with MGC this year and has a big vision for her company. I can’t wait to see where she takes it. I know you’ll love this conversation. If you’re new to online course creation, or you’ve been in the arena for a while, this is the episode for you!

My guest today is the wise and wonderful Shivani Gupta. Shivani originally studied engineering and worked in the corporate world for a number of years before quitting and starting her own SAM (speaking, authoring and mentoring) business. She has worked in this field now for over twenty years and is a treasure trove of knowledge.

Over the years, her goal setting has evolved to play a really important role in her family’s life and we discuss how goals can play a big role personally as well.

I’m bringing you a jam packed solo episode today to talk about when and why you would bring on a professional videographer in your business.    A lot of business owners try to save money by learning a skill that’s not necessarily in their genius zone. DIY video production can work really well up until a certain point, but if your business is expanding, or your content isn’t where you’d like it to be, this is where a professional videographer will be a game changer and allow you to stay smart and savvy.    I’m a big fan of outsourcing and in this episode, I share how you can outsource to a professional videographer in a few different ways. Whether it's from pre-production all the way through to editing or just some help to repurposing your existing content, engaging with a professional might be just what you need to level up.   I also discuss the three tiers of professionals, from fresh out of university to someone like me running a team of video ninjas. I talk about the considerations to keep in mind and the questions you should ask as you're figuring out who to work with.   Wherever your business is at, my goal is to help you have fun engaging with your audience in front of the camera. Creating amazing video content doesn't have to be overwhelming and with a professional in your corner, you can focus on running your business, and sharing your knowledge and expertise with the world.

My guest today is The Podcast Matchmaker, Michelle Glogovac. Michelle is the CEO and founder of The MLG Collective, an award-winning public relations agency specializing in the podcast industry. She is an award-winning publicist, podcast host, podcast producer and a former aviation fuel guru. We met on the incredible Nekker Island and I’m so happy to be bringing her to you today.

My guest this week is the leader of leaders, Julie Hyde. Julie is a consultant, executive coach, speaker and author who works with leaders across industries and is absolutely passionate about role modelling the way forward. She advocates for being a leader first before you can lead anyone else. In our conversation, Julie is sharing how to become an impactful leader. We explore how Julie is able to work across both very large cooperations and small businesses and inspire her clients to level up and lead in a way that will engage with the head and hearts of their people. Being a leader doesn’t end as soon as you walk out of the office door, the true tests of a leader are through challenges and what you do when nobody is watching. If you’re not consistent with your leadership it is very confusing to those you’re leading and breeds distrust so you must remain true to who you are.  Julie spent 21 years in the same organisation and found the higher and higher she moved up the ladder, the more she didn’t like working there as her values just didn’t align with those of the organisation. She decided to pursue her passion and have more of an impact by starting her own business and through her vast experience teaches her clients everything from empathy to hard discussions with CEOs.  Julie shares her top advice for becoming an impactful leader, how to truly understand your values, the difference you want to make and the legacy you want to leave for the future.  This conversation is full of useful information you can take on board to transform your leadership style, continuously evolve and become the best version of yourself.  Enjoy!

My guest this week is the remarkable Shivani Gopal. Shivani is a passionate feminist, serial entrepreneur and finance expert on a mission to create more equality in the world.  In this episode, Shivani is showing us how to embrace fearlessness and let go of perfectionism.  We begin by exploring Shivani’s childhood development and her journey to finding herself. She left an arranged marriage when she was 24 and faced tremendous adversity from those surrounding her. She knew she had to stand for her own happiness against everyone else’s norms of what happiness actually meant so she followed her own path.  Her fearlessness in walking away with only the clothes on her back, and having the confidence to know that she would be able to support herself, led her to become a crusader for financial literacy, financial awareness, financial empowerment and spreading knowledge of the signs of financial abuse in relationships.  Shivani takes us through how to set yourself up financially for success in a relationship by having strong, fun and enjoyable financial conversations together. Discuss with your partner what you envision your lives to be like and then ultimately talk about how you can plan and prepare financially for it together.  Letting go of perfectionism is an act of confidence and takes a lot of work and knowledge. When we hold on to perfectionism we’re also holding on to our own insecurities. Shivani advises us to develop a foundation of fearlessness and knowledge by seeking feedback from a trusted group of people and you’ll find what truly makes you unique. You’ll find so much invaluable advice and motivation in our conversation to let go of perfectionism in your life and truly start embracing fearlessness. Shivani is an inspiration to women everywhere and after you listen to our conversation, head over to her website to find out more about The Remarkable Woman’s membership.  LINKS: Connect with Shivani Gopal:  Website: https://www.theremarkablewoman.com.au/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivani_gopal/ and https://www.instagram.com/theremarkablewoman/  LinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/shivani-gopal and https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-remarkable-woman/  Download my 5 Step Checklist to Choosing the Right Video Supplier here.

I was immediately drawn to her creative style and passion for business.  Nicola made a commitment to herself years ago to travel to Nekker Island and invest in pushing herself to the next level and finding incredible growth opportunities. She embarked on this journey for not only herself but to bring back all of the inspiration, motivation and teachings for her clients.  We explore how it feels to find the right coach, Nicola’s journey to combining creativity and design with business, and the biggest lessons from Nekker Island that Nicola will use in the future.  This conversation is the motivational kick up the backside to grasp that opportunity you’ve been thinking about and make the leap to invest in yourself, your business and your growth.  LINKS: Connect with Nicola Wilkes:  Website: https://www.seriouslystylishbusiness.co.uk/ and https://www.nicolawilkes.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seriouslystylishbusiness/  Podcast: The Empowered Business Woman Download my 5 Step Checklist to Choosing the Right Video Supplier here.

As business owners, we are always riding the rollercoaster of life and business and it’s very important to surround yourself with people who will encourage and support you to go further. Life is simply too short.  In this solo episode, I’m exploring how to step out of your comfort zone and live your best life.  I’ve been pushing myself out of my comfort zone in the last 3 months and it has been such an amazing experience. We had our wedding, spent quality time with family and friends who we haven’t seen for a very long time, went hiking on the Larapinta trail, travelled overseas on our honeymoon and then went on a trip to Sir Richard Branson’s famous Necker Island with the Business Chicks.  It was a jampacked few months of incredible experiences where I had to step out of my personal and professional comfort zone to live my best life.  I’ll take you through how I pushed myself and the insight I found as a result. I would love for you to take this episode as a sign from the universe to stop hesitating and just go for it! Whatever the step is or how big - just do it! You’ll be so thankful you did.  So, what are you going to do over the next 3 to 6 months that will push you out of your comfort zone and skyrocket you into living your best life?  LINKS: Download my 5 Step Checklist to Choosing the Right Video Supplier here.

Can you successfully balance the boring nature of consistent systems with the joy and space of creativity?  My guest today is the colourful Tina Tower. Tina and I have worked together for almost 2 years and I wanted to bring her on to the show today to explore the world of online business.  Tina launched her business, Her Empire Builder, two years ago and is passionate about helping women to grow their empires and have a life that they love.  Tina has helped hundreds of people package their expertise into an online course and launch it to the world. Her first book, ‘One Life - How To Have The Life of Your Dreams’ was released in 2018. Her second book, ‘Million Dollar Micro Business’ was released in 2021 and became a global success, hitting the best seller list in its first week of release! In this episode, we’re exploring how to balance consistency and creativity for maximum business success.  Tina shares her journey to launching Her Empire Builder in the beginning of the Covid pandemic, struggling with boundaries, building a team, scheduling in ‘white space’, and showing up authentically online as an introvert.  We discuss how Tina found the balance between creativity and consistent systems and processes. It’s important to have a solid foundation but don’t be afraid to experiment and fail. You won’t get it right all of the time but you’ll learn something new.  Tina reminds us that if you don’t manage your energy and know how to get yourself to perform - none of the technical stuff will matter. Show up online as yourself and you won’t find it so taxing or avoid it altogether.  You will find so much value in this conversation that you can apply to your online business to achieve amazing results while allowing space for creativity and joy every day.

How are you showing up in your life and business today?  I’m chatting with life enthusiast, entrepreneur, and most consistent ‘shower upper’ Anna Richards. Anna coaches women to show up, speak up and stand up. Even on the days when she doesn’t feel like it, Anna shows up online unapologetically and with authenticity.   In this episode, Anna is giving you your daily reminder to show up just as you are. You don’t need to fake it and put on a smile, just show up and be honest about what you’re going through and how you’re feeling and your audience will be magnetised to you.  When you can bring all of yourself to the table in a bold way, success and sales will follow. People buy who you are and not what you do.  Anna started blogging in 2011 and found a love of storytelling. From there she has connected with people all around the world and grown her business. We talk about Anna’s boundaries, how to handle negativity online, and embracing every single day.  Amazingly, Anna registered for a triathlon that was in 33 days before she even knew how to swim! The next day, she jumped in a pool and started practising. Not only did she complete the triathlon, but she has also gone on to compete in 8 triathlons and 2 half iron man competitions! She’s passionate about pushing herself further and she’ll inspire you to look at your own comfort zone today.  Anna reminds us that life is not a dress rehearsal. We’re here to live boldly, unapologetically, enthusiastically, beautifully and abundantly. Stop waiting for ‘one day’ and embrace your life today.   LINKS: Download my 5 Step Checklist to Choosing the Right Video Supplier here.

If you pay peanuts you’ll get monkeys.  I have many prospective clients coming to me asking questions surrounding “I’ve had this video produced, can you fix it?”. The quality of the video may be out of focus, the audio is off, the lighting is wrong or the overall video is subpar.  Unfortunately, most often the answer is “No”. We’ll have to begin from scratch.  In this episode, I want to share the truth about creating video and employing a budget video production company. I’ll run you through the systems we use to set clear boundaries, pathways and expectations so you can use them with your production company to ensure a positive outcome.  I’ll also discuss what to do if you don’t have a high budget. Choose to invest the money into education and training for yourself or your team. It’ll be much better spent and you’ll achieve a far better outcome than employing a cheap production company.  Finding the right supplier for you will be the difference between a crappy piece of content and a phenomenal piece of content so take some time to reflect on your budget, goals and outcomes before making any decisions.

People often hide behind a facade of being busy, working ridiculous hours and then wearing it as a badge of honour, but this way of life isn’t sustainable and is actually very detrimental to our health and wellbeing.  My guest today is designer Debbie O’Connor from White River Design. Debbie started White River Design in 2002 and has built it into Penrith's most awarded graphic design and branding studio. Debbie has been awarded Penrith’s Business Person of the Year in 2012 and again in 2017. She was also awarded Mulgoa Woman of the Year Award in 2017.  In this episode, we’re discussing how burnout isn’t a myth. As you can see from Debbie’s accomplishments, she has always been a very committed, hard working and successful person. But her incredibly dedicated work ethic and changes in her business led her to be diagnosed with burnout and adrenal fatigue causing her to make drastic changes in her life to recover.  Debbie shares her journey to rock bottom and her plan of rehabilitation that will take two years of constant self-awareness and focus. She explains the exact strategies she is incorporating into her everyday life to ensure she prioritises her body and mind and prevent her from becoming stressed and overwhelmed.  Debbie describes burnout as a frog in a pot of water that is slowly increasing in temperature. You don’t realise you’re experiencing symptoms of burnout until you’ve hit your limit. She advocates for everyone to take a moment to self-reflect on the symptoms and triggers that indicate you’re overwhelmed to prevent yourself from receiving this diagnosis.  After all, the recovery path is long and requires big changes to your life and work.  This conversation is incredibly important to everyone experiencing high levels of stress for long periods of time. Take the time now to address approaching burnout in your work-life and use Debbie’s tips to build a lifestyle that aligns with your goals and health.

I’m chatting with Jenny Hardman today about embracing tree change and how she and her husband, James, moved from corporate Sydney to country NSW to pursue their vineyard dreams.  We talk about the ins and outs of what the tree change has looked like, the highs and lows of taking on a 1868 heritage listed property and the huge amount of work required to turn the property into an airbnb.  Jenny and James still have big dreams for the future. They plan to open a cellar door alongside their newly planted vineyard and we talk about how they are navigating the path toward their goals. Many people dream of living that country life but actually taking the plunge is a whole other story. Jenny says that her biggest lesson has been finding the right people to help them on their journey. Running both a wine business and airbnb cottage, Jenny also talks about the importance of doing your research, solid marketing and building a strong network.  LINKS: Where to find Jennifer: www.airbnb.com/h/the-gatehouse-milton https://www.instagram.com/thegatehouse_milton/ https://www.instagram.com/enfantterriblewines/ https://www.nakedwines.com.au/producers/james-paul-marin Connect with Rebecca: Check out my 5 Part Video series about how to really plan a live virtual event here.

What challenge would you overcome today if all it took was 10 seconds of courage? My guest today is Nadine Champion, international speaker, mindset coach and martial artist with over 35 years of experience. She is a courage creator and resilience master and her mission is to help individuals and organisations change their thinking to reach their highest potential.  In 2015 Nadine gave a TEDx Sydney talk called “10 Seconds of Courage”, which eventually led to her writing a book of the same name. In this episode, we dive into this topic and why we must take short bursts of courage to not get stuck in our comfort zone. Nadine shares her journey climbing out of the rubble after her kickboxing career was cut short due to a cancer diagnosis. Out of desperation to not give up on herself, Nadine shares how she took courage by focusing on mindset, mental and morning routine.  As a mindset coach, Nadine is a huge advocate for meditation. I have personally found meditation a real challenge, and we talk about having resilience to keep going because our inner world creates our outer world.  Not every decision is going to be a life changing one but there are little moments of courage we can take every day which will contribute to massive action.  This conversation hit home on so many levels and I know you’re going to get so much out of it.
