Dealing with Disruption: Will you be the Disruptor or the Disrupted? According to Australian Bureau of Statistics one of the biggest challenges for businesses is to stick with it long enough to make enough money. The failure rate is also attributed to a lack of financial understanding and lack of management ability. In fact Business Women Australia's Core Data Research confirmed that many femate business leaders saw achieving business growth to be both the biggest macro challenge and biggest opportunity in the new financial year. Add to that the changes being felt across many industries – disruption is well and truly upon us. If this is something that concerns you too, then today’s guest is here to help. Joining me today is Pauline Bright. Pauline Bright is an award winning business owner and business coach who, over the last 12 years, has coached and trained hundreds of small business owners.  She has owned 11 businesses over 35 years in advertising, design, consulting, retail, manufacturing, and wholesaling. She has been profiled in national magazines, had her design work distributed globally and been a trainer and facilitator for major national companies. Pauline speaks engagingly about what it takes to be a success, with plenty of practical instructions as well.  She simplifies complex business strategies to make running a business easier, more enjoyable and more profitable.  On today’s show, Pauline shares:  * Dealing with Disruption – is it a helpful influence or disaster waiting to happen? Will you be the disruptor or the disrupted? * Demystifying business – taking the dry dusty and boring out of business to make it more enjoyable and much easier to understand. * 5 key factors of disruption – internal and external forces you can control when you are aware of them.  At some point your business will need to become more sophisticated and less like a “time for money” job. – Pauline Bright About our Guest:  Pauline Bright is an award winning business owner and business coach who, over the last 12 years, has coached and trained hundreds of small business owners.  She has owned 11 businesses over 35 years in advertising, design, consulting, retail, manufacturing, and wholesaling.

Take Control of Your Financial Future According to ASIC a comfortable income for a couple is $59,971 and a modest income is $34,855. Now, without taking into consideration the age pension, you would need $1.2M if you wanted to have a comfortable lifestyle when you retired (or not including the aged pension $720,000 for a modest lifestyle), which assmes a life span until the age 85.

Cross-Cultural Intelligence: How to Effectively Lead People Across Borders In a recent article “Being the Boss in Brussels, Boston, and Beijing” published on Harvard Business Review, author Erin Meyer begins by saying: “Cultural differences in leadership styles often create unexpected misunderstandings.” As leaders in business we know that any misunderstanding within our teams is going to impact morale and ultimately performance negatively. So, joining me today to speak more on the topic of Cross-Cultural Intelligence is Jessica Schubert.

Ultimately she supports them to be better leaders. Over the last 20 years Jessica has led large cross-cultural teams in Europe and Asia in the corporate world and she draws on her expertise in leading and growing organisations predominantly in the services industry but most and foremost from working with people from different backgrounds and cultures.

[Ep #15] Branding Tips to Survive in Today’s Market

3 Money-Management Must-Do’s to Double your Growing Business Eighty-seven percent of small business owners are financially illiterate. They have no real understanding of what products / services are making the most amount of money with the least amount of effort.  They don’t regularly check in how they are performing financially or how they are progressing to achieve their financial goals.  It’s no surprise that 60% of small businesses don’t survive the first 3 years. Joining me today is Tracey Loubser – The Queen of Cashflow Nearly 10 years ago, after a 5-year stint with Deloittes, and a brief stint in corporate, Tracey made the conscious decision to NOT be a normal tax and compliance accountant.  Instead she became a “let’s-get-this-business-achieving-its-potential-and-make-more-profit” accountant, and after achieving great results for many SME’s she became known as The Queen of Cash Flow! Through Tracey’s multi-award-winning business, Confident Cashflows, Tracey has helped many business owners achieve higher profits &amp; improve their cash flow. Five years ago she launched her second business Confident Cashflows PLUS, where she trains, coaches and mentors accountants to follow her program and learn from her experience to deliver Financial Performance progams with their clients.  On today’s show, Tracey shares:  * Your Magic Pill to financial success in your growing business * Why growing Australian businesses are most at risk * 3 Money-Management Must-Do’s to Double your Growing Business.  If your accountant can’t tell you what is financially the “Good, Bad and Ugly of your business” …. You need a new accountant. – Tracey Loubser  About our Guest:   Nearly 10 years ago, after a 5-year stint with Deloittes, and a brief stint in corporate, Tracey made the conscious decision to NOT be a normal tax and compliance accountant.  Instead she became a “let’s-get-this-business-achieving-its-potential-and-make-more-profit” accountant, and after achieving great results for many SME’s she became known as The Queen of Cash Flow!

3 Money-Management Must-Do’s to Double your Growing Business Eighty-seven percent of small business owners are financially illiterate. They have no real understanding of what products / services are making the most amount of money with the least amount of effort.  They don’t regularly check in how they are performing financially or how they are progressing to achieve their financial goals.  It’s no surprise that 60% of small businesses don’t survive the first 3 years. Joining me today is Tracey Loubser – The Queen of Cashflow Nearly 10 years ago, after a 5-year stint with Deloittes, and a brief stint in corporate, Tracey made the conscious decision to NOT be a normal tax and compliance accountant.  Instead she became a “let’s-get-this-business-achieving-its-potential-and-make-more-profit” accountant, and after achieving great results for many SME’s she became known as The Queen of Cash Flow! Through Tracey’s multi-award-winning business, Confident Cashflows, Tracey has helped many business owners achieve higher profits &amp; improve their cash flow. Five years ago she launched her second business Confident Cashflows PLUS, where she trains, coaches and mentors accountants to follow her program and learn from her experience to deliver Financial Performance progams with their clients. <a href="http://ambitiousentrepreneurnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/BWA-Website-Header-Image-2.png" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a> On today’s show, Tracey shares: * Your Magic Pill to financial success in your growing business * Why growing Australian businesses are most at risk * 3 Money-Management Must-Do’s to Double your Growing Business. If your accountant can’t tell you what is financially the “Good, Bad and Ugly of your business” …. You need a new accountant. – Tracey Loubser  About our Guest:  <a href="http://ambitiousentrepreneurnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/Tracey-Loubser.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a> Nearly 10 years ago, after a 5-year stint with Deloittes, and a brief stint in corporate, Tracey made the conscious decision to NOT be a normal tax and compliance accountant.  Instead she became a “let’s-get-this-business-achieving-its-potential-and-make-more-profit” accountant, and after achieving great results for many SME’s she became known as The Queen of Cash Flow!
