This is a Better Business Podcast first – an interview with a brilliant creative mind, Ali Buckley! Ali is a creative powerhouse, making beauty through her life and sharing it on Instagram @shemademagic.
I loved talking to Ali about how we, as business owners, can show up on Instagram, even when things are really busy. We talked fun, freedom, and how she’s been thinking about her own creativity lately.
Ali always has amazing Instagram tips and I love following her!
I hope you have fun listening to our conversation this week.
Every other week, I share a bite-sized suggestion to help you make your business a little better. Because as well as the big ideas and transformations, we also need regular actions, nudges, and tips.
With Valentine’s Day coming up, I thought I’d kick off the first Little Better episode of 2022 with a whole heap of love.
Maybe you’re busy selling lots of loved-up cards or gifts. Maybe you’re busy pouring love on your clients. Or your family.
And that’s great.
Today, I want you to spend a little bit of time loving your business – and yourself.
You didn’t start a business to feel ambivalent about what you do.
You didn’t start a business so that you had to drag your feet to spend time on it.
You didn’t start a business to wonder why you started a business.
But there’s good news: you can romance yourself and your business – and it’s a legitimate business strategy.
Here are some ways you can love your business right now:
Spend 15-60 minutes writing down the things you love, and the things you don’t love
Notice if there’s anything you don’t love that you can delegate or stop doing
Share more about your business and how you spark a lot of joy in the world
Increase your prices by 10-20%, because you’re probably not building in enough profit
Get clearer on your ideal customer and what you offer – get help with this if you feel foggy
Set a money date and catch up on your bookkeeping so that you can have less stress and more confidence in your business decisions
Hire a VA, coach, mentor, marketing expert, accountant who can help you to level up
Find a couple of five star reviews, print them out so you can see them, and put them on your website / social media etc
Anything that helps you to feel like a Proper Business Owner – including taking time off!
There are so many ways that you can love your business right now, and continue to build a business you love in the coming months.
Are you an overthinker? Do you tend to worry about every small decision in your business?
Well, you’re not alone. This podcast episode is for anyone who tends to get stuck in a loop, wondering “what if” over all the tiny things, and feeling exhausted at the end of it.
You’ll discover:
What overthinking is, especially for business owners
Step 1 to calming your nervous system and resetting your busy brain
The connection between overthinking and the patriarchy
Why we tend to overthink and get stuck in decision paralysis
How you can reduce overthinking and free up your creative energy
Spoiler alert: reducing your overthinking is a HUGE step towards reclaiming your power.
