If you were to be bolder in 2020 than you were in 2019, what would you do? What gutsy goals would you set? Each year I ask our HerBusiness Network members to consider this question as we get to the end of a year. And, this is a question that I too have asked myself for many years. At the start of 2019 members listed Bold Goals like:
Wow. They were some pretty amazing and bold goals. Your Bold Goal is your heart speaking what it wants. When you set that Bold Goal (even if you’re too afraid to verbalise it) it can make you sweat a little. That, is an indication that it’s a place that you want to dare to go. And, with the right support you can step into this bolder way of being. I truly believe you can achieve anything when you have the right people and resources available to you. Listen to hear:

Ever since I was young, I’ve kept a journal. There were years where I religiously spilled my guts into a journal, my first romances, my deepest worries, my concerns. Then, for many years I did not write. Many years. Like most of my 20s and part of my 30s. Today I write daily. It’s become a habit that I’m keen to keep up. One that I make a priority each morning, before I dive into my day. Here’s why... About 20 years ago I came across Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way and started again, using her guidance, to write regularly. I bought a bunch of her books The Sound of Paper, The Artist’s Way at Work… and I ate them up. I was in my late 20s and early 30s and so much was changing about my life I needed an outlet. I was in my own business and there was a lot of confusion about what I was doing and where I was going. And it really helped. In this episode I explain how I recently rediscovered the power of a daily journaling habit and how I got past the concern of not having anything to write or say. Listen to hear:

Regardless of what sort of results we are looking for, when we don’t go after a specific outcome, when we don’t have a definite idea of what we are trying to achieve… how can we know if we are successful? We have unlimited options to be, do and have what we want in life and business, including: How we spend our time How we build our business The products and services that we provide Who we serve as customers Who we surround ourselves with - our peers,mentors, teachers These unlimited choices can leave us making no choice, for fear of making the wrong choice. Or, we hold back simply because we haven’t identified the power of being ‘definite with the infinite’. Listen to hear:

In order to communicate effectively, we need to connect with our audience, whether that is ourselves if we are planning or working on an important project. Our partners… We connect when we are FULLY present with them. This means that we are truly aware of who we are communicating with and if they are ready to hear our message. If we are using language that they comprehend. If they have actually acknowledged and understood our communication. Being present when we communicate matters with clients and prospects staff, partners, suppliers. It, of course, is also relevant to our personal relationships - how we communicate with our partners, kids and even our pets.

If you’ve ever held back in putting yourself forward for opportunities… Going for that bigger contract… Charging that higher price… Then this episode is for you. Confidence is not (despite what those 80s motivational speakers tried to tell us) just wearing the right clothes, having a firm handshake and feeling good about ourselves. The good news is that confidence is a habit that can be strengthened, so be encouraged... you just need a little bit to start with... there is plenty more where that came from! Listen to hear:

Communication happens to be one of my favourite topics. It’s how as business leaders we upgrade our relationships, our businesses and our lives. In this episode I speak to you about communicating powerfully, being more visible and reaching more people with your message… When you want to take your business from one level to another, your ability to communicate your vision is really important. When you want to reach more people and reach higher goals, communication is key. So often women are not willing to really put themselves out there and communicate in a big way. And that has an impact on the number of people we can reach and the results we can get. So, that’s what we’re looking in this episode. This is for you if...
To reach more people, make more of an impact, reach more customers... To make a dent in the world — you need to be able to communicate confidently. P.S. Be sure to subscribe to the HerBusiness Podcast for more great interviews with inspiring entrepreneurs. Here are some popular recent episodes:

I love building networks! In fact, my last business was a network of over 100,000 people who loved personal developmentand personal finance training, who connected with each other at events and did business and even real estate deals together. And HerBusiness — has grown from a network of a few hundred people to a community of thousands of women. And here is a really important difference for you to understand.. I have built networks… But, I’ve always hated traditional networking… AND I consider myself an introvert. And still, I’ve built numerous large networks of people who are doing business together and getting great results turning their networks into profits and making a real contribution. BECAUSE… I didn’t just create a network… I created a CONNECTION network. In this episode, I tell you about the three-part system that I created precisely because I don’t like or believe in traditional networking, but I LOVE building a connection network. When you have a connection network… you never feel salesy or out of place or pushy… …because your network is built on real, authentic relationships… where opportunity naturally shows up… you don’t have to force it… This is not the kind of network where you just accumulate contacts and reach out only when you need something… Or, worse still, where others in your network are only ever reaching out to you when THEY need something. This is the kind of network that is based on CONNECTION. A REAL connection… just like elsewhere in life - involving respect, mutual values, and a desire for EVERYONE to win... … and where you can get everything you need, simply by knowing the 3 key moves which are part of a larger Connection Blueprint that I’m sharing in our free workshop.

Word of mouth is the most important way to grow your business, yet nobody has a strategy for it. We just assume that it happens, without realising that we have to light a match to create the spark to cause the conversation. Nobody has ever said, "Hey, let me tell you about this perfectly adequate experience I had." Because that's not a good story. You need a ‘Talk Trigger’ to give your customers something to talk about. In this episode of the HerBusiness Podcast, you’ll learn how to create a ‘Talk Trigger’ for seriously memorable – and shareable – customer experiences.
Your Talk Trigger can be something that’s free or cheap, as long as it’s relevant and remarkable. And customers will love telling the story of how you surprised and delighted them that day. Listen to this podcast episode with Jay Baer to discover:

The worlds of business and creativity have combined. Exploring your interests and giving in to your creative curiosity can energise you AND innovate your business. It turns out that allowing yourself to be passionate about something other than your business can energise you, and benefit your business.

Most business owners are intentional about what they do in their business. But WHEN they do things? More often than not, the timing of significant activities gets left to chance or availability.

Daniel Pink, author of When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timinghas researched the effect of timing within dozens of scientific fields and applied the findings to business. In this podcast episode you’ll learn about the science of timing, and how to choose the right timing for your next important activity.
Daniel Pink’s research found that being intentional about the timing of activities drastically improves outcomes in your business: the productivity of internal meetings, the effectiveness of marketing promotions, and how a customer feels after a sale. A few small tweaks to the timing of your activities could be a game changer for your business. And the best part is: it doesn’t have to cost you a cent. Listen to discover:

Getting marketing messages right is a fine art. What if there were a few small changes you could make, tiny changes even, that could drastically improve the profit on your next marketing project? Research suggests that the key difference to the results you get can depend on how you present information before you get to your real sales pitch. Dr Robert Cialdini, the world’s expert on influence and persuasion calls this Pre-Suasion. Pre-suasion involves the process of arranging for people to move in the direction of the message that we're going to send them before they experience that message.For example… When asking customers to try a new product, asking a question a particular way shot In another example, the use of specific symbols in an email produced FIVE TIMES as many sales as ones without. Two images on a website when tested against one another, with nothing else changed, netted TOTALLY different results. These aren’t random incidents. They’re actually the result of the deliberate use of Pre-Suasion. Now you can learn how to use Pre-Suasion to increase conversion rates in your own business. In this podcast interview with the world’s expert on influence and persuasion, Robert Cialdini, you’ll learn how to structure information to guide customers’ attention so they buy more often. And, how to ethically influence them to buy more expensive items than they had planned to buy from you. Listen to this podcast episode with Suzi Dafnis and Dr Robert Cialdini to discover:
