Being consistent is something that we are not. If anything, we creatives are consistent at being inconsistent. That’s our thing. It allows us to get creative, move on to something else quickly, produce ideas, create something magical that others didn’t see, it's our mojo. 

However, and here’s the penny drop moment… consistency is what grows your business. And it’s not consistency overall. But it's being consistent in one area in particular. And today, that’s what we are talking about.

Opening the floor for feedback can be scary. We worry that by asking people their thoughts,  that it will bring about a scurry of emotions, opinions and a harsh reality we aren’t ready to hear. But, here’s the thing. If you don’t do this, you will never know what they’re thinking. And if you don’t do this, you may be pouring your heart and soul into something that people don’t actually want.  So today, we are chatting about how you can seek constructive, useable feedback that doesn’t leave you feeling deflated.

In this episode we are talking about the things in business that actually allow you to stand out and create more meaningful relationships and a deeper impact. I am sharing a real life example of where I witnessed these things in action and how a particular business is creating a unique experience for their clients to talk about! This episode is full of action inspiration, so make sure you have your notes open on your phone or a notepad and pen nearby.

I wonder, how often do you miss opportunities or ideas because they weren’t obvious? Today I am sharing a story with you, something that happened a few years ago, something that was a very unexpected opportunity, and that had an amazing outcome because of it.

Confidence is the emotion that guides you as a business owner in EVERYTHING that you do. It is what allows you to serve, create, nurture, sell, grow, etc… If you don’t feel confident within your self, it shows and will be the thing that stops you in a heart beat.

Today, I share with you honestly how a lack of self confidence stopped me for the past 6 months in my business. Why, how, what and where I am at right now and some insights that I have learnt that will hopefully help you in your journey too!

If you have been going through a tough experience, or feeling a lack of self confidence in your business endeavours, in pursuit of an idea, or if you have just been feeling a lack of confidence with in your self, then here's something you should know.

Yes, we need money to pay the mortgage, the rent, the electricity. Yes, our business needs money to buy new stock, to pay for the subscriptions, to pay for website hosting, etc. BUT, have you found yourself thinking - I’m not in it for the money? Do you shy away from the 10x, or 6 figure promise that is splashed across the internet?

I do too :) And that’s why I invited Louise Holliday from Theodore & George as our guest on the podcast today because her take on what success means to her is something every rural small business owner should hear!

Today we get incredibly real, raw and honest with intuitive brand + web designer, creatress of the amazing small business Raw Confetti and Mumma of one, Keira Gifford!

This episode touches on many different aspects of being a business owner and a Mother; topics that can often be sensitive in nature. I know you will love to hear her story as Keira is so incredibly open + honest. Grab a cuppa and let's get chatting!

The Hidden Creative is about helping those people who need to recognise their talents. To give confidence to those who aren’t yet confident enough to go all in. It’s about helping you bring your dreams to life and share your gift with others, no matter what.

The guest that I’m interviewing today is what the Hidden Creative means to me. He inspires me with his courage and laid back attitude. His depth of emotion that no-one else can see on the outside. He is incredibly talented, and yet will tell you that he just "goes with the flow". He is a true hidden creative and today he shares his passion with us on the podcast!

“Being social” according to Google means you crave companionship, belonging, community.

However, I would strongly argue the point that the Social Media we know today has been named incorrectly. Because even though at first glance it might seem that way, it actually has many differing qualities that would prove otherwise.

Today we are chatting about a new way of using social media in hope to bring about a positive change.

General society shouldn’t dictate what we market for. It shouldn’t tell us what our goals are. It shouldn’t be the reason for our actions. And yet somehow along the way, we forget that WE set the intention of our business.

In today’s episode I chat with one incredible lady about her adventures as an occupational therapist. You will discover that there are more ways than one for creating a rural business that doesn’t want to fit the box. A business that wants to intentionally be different, stand out and create their own pathway forward.

“I think it’s allowed me to be myself a little bit in a way that maybe wouldn’t have been possible if I wasn’t regional. I think regional communities are really just crying out for good people to do good things.” The beautiful words spoken by our incredible guest James O’Hanlon in today’s podcast episode.
