Whether you’re having a hard year, a “stuck-in-the-rut” year or a BUMPER year, there’s ONE thing EVERY woman in business needs to SUCCEED… And it’s NOT about your branding, your website, working more hours or finding some shiny new marketing strategy. In fact, it’s NOT about ANY one specific tactic or strategy! After more than 28 years growing MULTIPLE 6, 7 & 8 figure businesses (and helping more than 35,000 other women in business grow THEIR businesses), here’s what I know to be true… You Need to BE INSPIRED. In this episode, we explore the power of inspiration in my business and how it can lead to clarity, confidence, and action. Drawing on my experience of growing multiple 6, 7, and 8-figure businesses and helping over 35,000 women grow their businesses, I share insights, stories, and strategies to help me tap into my inspiration and become more successful. And I’m not talking about “light and fluffy” inspiration that evaporates faster than you can say “Hallmark Card”. I’m talking GRITTY, real, keep-you-going-through-the-tough-times inspiration. The inspiration that helps you become more profitable by getting paid what you’re worth (and stops you from over-delivering and over-compensating!). The inspiration that removes the self-doubt and helps you play a bigger game without the stress and second-guessing. The inspiration that makes you irresistible to your perfect customers and opens new doors of possibility as you grow your audience and impact. That kind of spirited strength that doesn’t need to shove you out of your comfort zone because it’s magnetically drawing you TOWARDS where you need to go. The “animated force” that cuts through the confusion and helps you instantly get out of your head and into clarity and action. And when you can tap into that inspiration, you become unstoppable, no matter what the challenge. Real-Life Examples of Inspired Action I also share three stories of women who have been inspired to take action and achieve success in their businesses. These stories include: Bernadette Janson of She Renovates, who generated $50,000 in just 5 days by implementing a new strategy she learned at a HerBusiness event. Joanna Anderson, a roofing business owner, who was inspired by a HerBusiness guest speaker to create a recurring revenue stream for her business. Nadia Omair, an award-winning working mum, who was inspired by the women in the HerBusiness community to grow her business and become an inspiring figure for others. Mentioned in This Episode: |

Everyone has dreams and goals they want to achieve, but what stops us from turning those dreams into reality? Often, it's procrastination and fears that hold us back from taking the necessary actions to actualise our visions. In this episode of the HerBusiness podcast, we'll explore the common obstacles that prevent us from taking action and share strategies to overcome them, empowering you to transform your dreams into reality. 1. Confusing Doing with Actualising One of the most common pitfalls is confusing busyness with taking action. While filling our days with tasks might feel productive, it's crucial to distinguish between tasks that simply keep us busy and those that are essential for our success. When we focus on tasks that genuinely move us closer to our goals, we'll make progress and start to actualise our visions. 2. Not Starting from a Position of Clarity or Centeredness A clear vision and a centred mindset is crucial for effective action. When we lack clarity, it's challenging to determine which steps to take towards achieving our goals. Creation comes from inspiration, not just to-do lists or plans. Take the time to find clarity and focus on your goals; the action steps will become apparent. 3. Fear Fear can be a significant barrier to taking action. Both fear of failure and fear of success can stop us from actualising our visions. The more significant our dreams, the greater our fear, leading to procrastination as a way to avoid potential failure. To overcome fear, we need to confront it and recognise that taking risks is a natural part of achieving our goals. Strategies for Overcoming Procrastination and Fear We also explore practical strategies for overcoming FEAR and PROCRASTINATION. By adopting these strategies, you'll be better equipped to take powerful action towards actualising your vision and achieving your goals. Remember, clarity leads to power, and with the right mindset and support, you can transform your dreams into reality. Mentioned in This Episode: |

Have you ever felt like you're constantly in "go-go-go" mode, juggling daily tasks and responsibilities? I know I have. It's easy for business owners like you and me to overlook the power of taking a break from our daily environment. However, during these breaks, we often come up with our best ideas and make significant leaps in our businesses. In this podcast episode, I will share my experience attending a retreat and its life-changing impact on me and my business. Taking that leap of faith all those years ago was a way to ‘break the mould’ of a future being carved out FOR me and allowed me to take the reigns and create the business I wanted. One that truly reflects my own desires and my purpose. Because we work too hard to live an ‘average’ existence and feel exhausted and trapped in our business. If you find yourself thinking: “I want to like my business again.” “I want growth in business, but not at the cost of everything else in my life.” Or, “I want to have direction.” … you’ll love hearing how other women around doing it. … you’ll really enjoy this episode. Listen to Hear: -> The unexpected benefits of travel and new environments -> How travelling to new places and immersing ourselves in different environments can provide a fresh perspective and inspire us. -> Why surrounding ourselves with like-minded people gives us access to new points of view that we might not have considered. -> How exposing ourselves to novel experiences can elevate our businesses and personal growth. Plus, A Personal Story You’ll also hear how a trip to Hawaii in 1993 changed EVERYTHING and put me on the RIGHT trajectory to create the life I have and love today. By stepping out of my comfort zone and investing in myself 30 years ago, I could question my life's direction and create a new vision for my future. That pivotal experience taught me the value of pausing, reflecting, and reimagining what is possible. This is the same place that I’m so proud to take women to every year for the REACH Retreat. The Power of Reflection Taking time to pause and reflect is essential for reconnecting with our authentic selves and noticing things that might have been overlooked in our busy lives. We can make powerful changes and step into our full potential by giving ourselves the space to examine our thoughts, feelings, and desires. Thomas Friedman, in his book, Thank You for Being Late, writes: "When you press the pause button on a machine, it stops. But when you press the pause button on human beings, they start. You start to reflect, you start to rethink your assumptions, you start to reimagine what is possible and, most importantly, you start to reconnect with your most deeply held beliefs." Join Us for The REACH Retreat in Hawaii Experience The REACH Retreat is a transformative experience designed for women entrepreneurs ready to find an exciting new business direction. Over the course of five days, you get to switch off completely and immerse yourself in an environment that fostered reflection and personal growth. By stepping back from my daily responsibilities, you gain clarity, focus, and inspiration to create a new vision for your life and business.

An Invitation to Join Me in Hawaii for a Life-Changing, Business-Growth Experience Hi, I'm Suzi Dafnis, CEO of HerBusiness, and I recently found myself feeling burned out and in need of an escape.

That life-changing experience led me to create several successful businesses, and now I want to help you do the same. Who is the REACH Retreat for?

Hey there. I recorded this podcast episode at the SXSW festival in Texas, where I’ve been for the last five days. I’ve attended sessions headlined by actors like Robert Downey Jr, Tilda Swinton and Kerry Washington, business founders - including the CEO of Open AI, the company behind Chat GPT, inventors, and futurists, among others. One of my favourite sessions so far has been with Chef Jose Andres which focused on his experience running the not-for-profit organisation World Central Kitchen, his efforts to provide meals to disaster-stricken areas, and the impact that his work has had on affected communities. In this episode, I talk about how generosity, kindness, and tolerance for different ways of thinking run through all the sessions. And, why it hasn’t been ‘strictly’ business as far as the presentations that I’ve chosen to attend while here in Austin. I also encourage you to shift your mindset to shift your life and increase the possibilities of getting closer to your dreams. I also invite you to join me at the Business Breakthrough Crash Course which starts on 27 March. Mentioned in This Episode: -> SXSW |

Quick question: How many hours per week should you work ON your business as a business owner? This is an excellent question because it can be easy to get caught up in the weeds, spending all your time on low-leverage activities and needing more time working on your business and high-leverage activities. I get it. So, how do you spend your time so that you don't feel like a hamster on a wheel, working hard but not seeing progress on your big goals? It starts with having the right mindset. Your mindset impacts the time you spend working ON your business. You shift how you show up in your business and where you focus. In this episode, we explore mindset, but first, let's look at the difference between working ON your business and IN your business. Let's start with Working IN the BusinessWhat might you be doing: Providing Customer Service: Answering customer inquiries, resolving complaints, and addressing any issues with products or services. Performing Administrative Tasks: Managing payroll, overseeing day-to-day operations, and managing schedules. Producing products or delivering services: This involves performing the core tasks that the business is built around, such as designing products, manufacturing goods, or providing services to customers. Marketing and Sales: -> Creating and executing marketing campaigns. -> Managing social media accounts. -> Engaging with customers to drive sales. Managing Employees or Suppliers: This involves hiring, training, and managing employees, as well as addressing any HR issues that arise. What does it mean to Work ON the Business?Here are some examples: Developing a strategic plan for the business: This might include setting long-term goals, identifying key performance indicators (KPIs), and creating an action plan for achieving those goals. For example, every year inside HerBusiness, Members set their annual goals and determine their critical projects. Then, every month they narrowly focus on the goals they need to achieve that month. This structure and habit of having a strategic plan help them have clarity and focus about what they put their attention to. Analysing market trends and customer needs: You might research industry trends, identify market gaps, and gather customer feedback to make strategic decisions about the direction of the business. Right now, we're analysing the results of a survey where we asked women about their mindset and how it helps or inhibits their success. It's fascinating and gives us many insights that will allow us to develop resources to help these women; this is a high-leverage activity that fits inside the idea of working ON your business. Developing and refining systems and processes: This might include creating procedures for onboarding new employees, streamlining workflow, and identifying areas where automation or outsourcing could be beneficial. Every hour you spend on this type of work reaps the rewards for a long time. You create the system once, and it gets used time and again! Reviewing financial performance: This involves analysing financial statements, creating budgets, and identifying opportunities for cost savings or revenue growth. As a business owner, making time each month to look at your financials is SO important. And, if you're not a numbers person, that is an excellent reason to have a bookkeeper do the numbers for you so that you can look over them. And ultimately, you want to be able to read your reports and determine how you move forward. Do you want more of a margin or to charge higher prices? Do you want to decrease expenses or invest in a new contractor? You need to spend the time to review your financial performance to make those decisions confidently. Networking and building relationships: This might include attending industry conferences, meeting with potential partners or investors, and connecting with other business owners to stay current on industry trends and opportunities. The HerBusiness Network is where women in Australia come to connect with other female entrepreneurs who are also growing and scaling a business. So, the time invested each month to attend a Roundtable event, a Masterclass, or to engage with others in our online group is worth so much because every day, here is what we see come out of these connections and relationships -> Women are getting new clients -> Reaching more people -> Doing collaborations -> Sharing resources -> Finding suppliers -> And so much more… When you're working on your business in this way, you are investing in the future of your business, not just taking care of today. These "On your business tasks" are what I call high-leverage tasks: And by that, I mean the types of tasks that you reap the rewards for a long time when you put an hour of work in today. While working IN the business is necessary to keep the day-to-day operations running smoothly, working ON the business is essential for long-term growth and success. By prioritising tasks that focus on strategic planning, system development, and market analysis, business owners can position themselves for sustained growth and profitability. So, how do we do that?It starts with your mindset. Let go and start to delegate: As women, we're often used to being in control and handling everything ourselves, but trying to do everything can be exhausting! Plus, there's always more to do than there is time. That's why getting the CEO mindset firmly in place is so important. Try delegating tasks to others on your team, and trust them to handle things as well as you would. They might even do a better job! Or, outsource a project … and get the help that takes you out of having to do the lower-level tasks. For example, say you have a launch coming up for a promotion. Your time is better spent making connections, building relationships, growing your audience, and connecting with your prospect than doing all the tech and the social images and scheduling every post. Keep the big picture in mind: It's easy to get bogged down in the day-to-day details of running a business, but try to take a step back and look at the big picture. What are your long-term goals? What is your highest priority 12-month goal? That is the prize that you want to keep your eyes on. The more you spend time each week working towards it, the more likely you're going to hit that goal. So what can you do today to help you get closer to that goal? Keep growing and learning: There's always room for growth and improvement. And sometimes, we can be our own worst enemies when it comes to mindset. So keep reading business books, attending conferences, and seeking mentorship opportunities to inspire and motivate yourself. Consistency is so crucial. You may need to get it right first, but keep your commitment to work more ON your business. By embracing these mindset shifts, you can position yourself for success in the long term, freeing up time and energy to focus on high-leverage work and strategic planning that will help your business thrive. So, if you're not spending enough time ON your business… here's where I recommend you start. Allocate 10% of your time to working ON your business. That's a great place to start, and you can build from there. So, if you're working 40 hours, that's four hours. Now, here's the key. Like the examples I cited earlier, you want to lock those into your schedule and make them non-negotiable. Choose a time when you won't get interrupted by busy work. For example, I do high-leverage tasks first thing in the morning when I'm fresh and before the office opens works well. The other place it works well is if I clear the day of all appointments and plonk those hours into a clear day.

This episode is about “Owning More Space”, which is about expanding into a more significant expression of yourself and your business in all possible ways. When you own more space, you can charge more for your products or services, become more visible in your marketing, and demonstrate your power and authority without friction - you are simply occupying and owning space that is there, waiting for you to step right into it. Maybe for you, “owning more space” means charging more for your products or services, becoming more visible in your marketing, or getting a little more audacious in your messaging. There are many ways to own more space, and Michelle Falzon joins me in this episode for this exciting conversation. We share some practical tips on how to be bigger - and own more space in the places that matter to you.

Are you tired of trying to stand out in a crowded market? You want more clients to choose you as the person to work with and so you try really hard to be unique, but it’s hard to know what to do and how to be to really stand apart in a way that has more people say yes. If you’ve ever thought that you might need to use some sort of short-lived gimmicks to position yourself, then you’ll love this episode. Welcome to episode 213 of the HerBusiness podcast. In this episode of the HerBusiness podcast, CEO Suzi Dafnis speaks with Belinda Weaver of Copywrite Matters on the topic of standing out in a crowded market. Belinda is a copy coach who helps aspiring and working copywriters create a successful business they love. According to Belinda, the idea of being unique has been a traditional marketing concept that has been around for a long time, but with a global landscape and crowded markets, it can be hard to differentiate oneself and become truly unique. The problem with being unique is that it can be demoralising, and some business owners turn to short-lived gimmicks to try to stand out. However, when it comes to choosing a service provider, clients don't want a lot of choices, they want to know that their problem can be solved and that it has been solved for others. As buyers search for options, they create a shortlist of options that meet their criteria, and when business owners market to those areas, they become a chooseable option. Listen to This Episode to Hear: -> Why you should stop trying so hard to be unique, and what to do instead to stand out and be seen -> How to use the “5 Ps of Being Choosable” (purpose, passion, process, proof and personality) to be your clients’ top choice. -> Ways to showcase your purpose and value and passion give you the ‘cut through’ to be the first choice. -> How to interject your personality into your marketing without being too personal. -> Powerful ways to create ‘velcro hooks’ and ‘fingerprints’ that reinforce the value you bring and lead clients to your door. -> And so much more You’ll love this fresh perspective on the idea of being unique in business and the actionable steps that business owners can take to stand out in a crowded market.

Confession: I used to struggle with promoting my business and speaking about my products and services due to the fear of making sales. My fear caused me to avoid answering calls and even pass on potential sales opportunities to my partner. This fear can stem from various reasons such as a lack of confidence, unclear messaging, vulnerability, or feeling physically or emotionally at risk. However, confident and clear communication can help build trust and lead to successful sales. In this episode of the HerBusiness podcast, we will discuss 7 ways fear may be hindering sales for female business owners and provide solutions and examples from other women who have overcome their fear. Join us as we delve into the limiting mindsets that may be holding you back and preventing you from making a greater impact in your business. You’ll hear:
