In this episode we meet Cheryl Burgess. Cheryl and her husband Adrian now run a multi business operation.

Finding a supplier overseas was easy EXCEPT! instead of buying 1 reformer - the minimum order was for 10 reformers !! And that’s how it started. They pre sold the other 9 Pilates reformers before they even arrived in Sydney. The first growth step was to include commercial use Pilates equipment – something they wish they had moved into earlier than they did! Haven’t we heard this in previous episodes “We wish we’d jumped in sooner/ earlier… trusted that we were on the right track” They now run a multi business operation, with a large team of people – including family members and locals - and are deeply steeped in the industry and they truly understand what their customers need – from lived experience This episode is not really about Pilates - although super helpful if you are interested in Pilates or other fitness or allied health This episode showcases what happens in business “you stay in your lane” as Cheryl says The integrated businesses work together to support their chosen industry You can find Cheryl at: Website: click here On instagram: click here Cheryl invite you to email er directly at cheryl@prateam.com.au You can find me, Ingrid Thompson: website: www.healthynumbers.com.au LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ingridthompson Understand your Business Financial Savvy: In just 2 minutes you can take your free personalised Business Financial Health Check to increase your financial safety in business.

E178 Building a publishing company + a Book store from scratch with Dr Artika Tyner 36:01

3 years sitten36:01

36:01

Dr Artika Tyner is an amazing woman, a human rights lawyer, book publisher and book store owner! Planting People Growing Justice She lives by the credo: When you see a problem, find a solution. She tells us that she realised that "a reader is more likely to find a black dog on the cover of a book than a black person" and set about to find a solution. She started publishing books Her first book stores were pop-ups - at festivals and markets, offering the early books she published. In 2017 Planting People Growing Justice was named as small business champion which was extremely fortuitous as this gave them access to business training and a mentor. She says having this mentor as well as others has been indispensable to their success. And successful they indeed are. She talks honestly about in the beginning she dreamt of "buying a building for her book store" and then didn't have step 2 ... no pricing plan, no overall strategy for financial viability - which is why the mentors were so important. Dr Artika realised "I had to reconcile in my mind: this is a business, this is not a hobby. For this to last for the generations to come meant that we had to have a very sound strategy in place from the outset!" She tells us some pretty disturbing data from the US: "1 in 4 children are not reading at grade level by 4th grade If you're not reading at grade level by 4th grade you are 4 times more likely to drop out of school And if you drop out of school you are 3 and half times more likely to enter into the tangled web of incarceration and be arrested Planting People Growing Justice is NOT just about selling books alone it’s about increasing literacy and engagement" Dr Artika is truly on a mission and when you listen to this conversation I believe you will be as inspired and uplifted as she is to bring about change in real time. In recognition of her leadership and service, she is the recipient of more than two dozen awards that include: Women in Business, American Small Business Champion, International Educator Citizen, and American Bar Association Difference Makers. She has been featured in a variety of media outlets. She is a prolific, award-winning author of adult and children’s books that includes: Amazing Africa: A to Z and The Inclusive Leader: Taking Intentional Action for Justice and Equity. She serves as a global citizen by supporting education, entrepreneurship, and women’s leadership initiatives in Africa. In furtherance of her philanthropic efforts, she created Planting People Growing Justice Leadership Institute, a nonprofit organization committed to promoting literacy and diversity in books.

It didn’t work out that way and in this episode Angela tells us how she overcame the “hustle of being in business which is a constant grind” She says that she learned very fast that: “Your pay check is as much as you hustle” Angela has built her business Progress Welness into a worldwide brand. She offers online products that take her expertise out into the world for a wide range of clients. She tells us that creating the brand allowed the creativity side of her personality. In this episode Angela walks us through the process she used to build her brand and the entire suit of online products – so helpful for every business person. Angela Ficken, LICSW is a full-time psychotherapist in private practice. She specializes in OCD, eating disorders, and anxiety-related concerns. She started her career at McLean Hospital, which is one of the top-ranking psychiatric hospitals in the country and affiliated with Harvard University. She was the head social worker on an inpatient unit that focuses on anxiety and depression. During her time at McLean, she trained in exposure therapy and became certified in CBT and DBT. Shortly thereafter, she worked at Harvard University as a primary therapist for undergraduate and graduate students. During her time there, she taught students CBT and DBT skills to help them manage a range of challenging emotions that young adults face daily. Angela has focused her attention on working with young adults and entrepreneurs primarily after noticing that both groups struggled with anxiety disorders and stress-related issues due to life transitions and the uncertainty of what was coming next in their lives. The struggle, as they say, is "real". She has spent years fine-tuning her practice and building her business into something more than a standard full-time private practice. In this conversation she tells us how she has achieved this - with practical and actionable steps we can all implement. She began writing for Huffington Post as an expert, which then catapulted her into writing for other major online sources which include Marriage.com where she is a verified expert, YourTango.com, ThriveGlobal.com, and has been quoted in Oprah Magazine, and on Fastcompany.com, Inc.com, Forbes.com, MSN.com, Bustle.com, Popsugar.com, Buzzfeed.com, Nylon magazine, Getstigma.com, and Justluxe.com. She has also been a guest on Onward Nation with Stephen Woessner where she talked about OCD and intrusive thoughts, as well as on the radio in Chicago and Reno speaking about stress and anxiety. Through her writing and hearing from her clients how difficult it was finding an understanding therapist—one who could actually teach coping strategies to manage difficult emotions—she decided to create the Worried to Well-Balanced: Practical Skills to Deal With Everyday Stressors: Worried to Well-balanced course to reach more people other than those she could meet within her office. The course is designed to help those who have significant stress in their lives and struggle to find ways of coping and managing their emotions.

My guest today is Keli Spanier and more than 12 years ago she started making funny and creative cards – for a whole bunch of reasons In this episode she tells us all about how she has grown Colette Paperie from those first cards into a global company As Keli says: "After spending several years at a corporate job I began Colette Paperie in 2009 to solve two problems: lose the soul-sucking job, and create funny cards." It became her goal to revive snail mail in a way that made it impossible to resist - by creating cards that you simply have to send. Her cards are located in over 500 stores worldwide after a decade of hard work, dedication + grit to making this thing work and she tells us the highs and the lows in this episode. Her cards are in floral shops, boutiques, museum shops, salons, and even restaurants. The best feature of the cards (aside from their irreverent sayings) is the brightly covered envelope sure to stand out in anyone's mailbox. Keli does it all herself: draws, prints, cuts, folds + packages all of her cards, stickers, notepads + keychains all in her Cincinnati studio. Keli says "It's pretty ridiculous." Personally I think it is amazing! as is she! I love cards and I think you will love Keli's cards and really find this episode extremely enlightening about how to take a create pursuit and enjoy a viable business.

I help people Raise their Rates" In this conversation she talks about how she works with clients to help them Raise their Rates. She describes herself as a “natural optimiser” and all the way through our conversation you can hear how she optimises!! No matter what business you are in – Stacey has a message for you. She started her business when she and her husband moved to Quebec in Canada from the US. in a new country speaking mostly French - 99.8% with a young baby and in a small village Her husband used to joke that "If it doesn't work out you could always go work at the local hot dog stand" and Stacey says "There is NO WAY that was going to happen" So she made it work. How often are we inspired to make something work because some one tells us it won't work!! The French expression she used is “Casse-croûte literally translates to 'break-crust' but it's really a snack.” Stacey has a recently released book "Hidden Profit: more clients & cash" and she mentioned her "Raise your Rates Masterclass" and you can register for the next one here: https://www.raiseyourratesmasterclass.com Her website is: https://www.staceyhylen.com My guess is you are listening to these podcasts because .....
