I hear a lot of things about money from founders like you.
Here’s what you say versus what I hear.
And how to reframe it into something helpful.

Save this post for next time your money stories start dragging you.

The system is stacked against us.

Women and other marginalised people.

The men at the top of monetary institutions have kept it this way for generations.

We all know less than 2% of venture capital is invested into women led businesses.

So what are we doing about it?

Women need to invest in other women’s businesses.

As customers, as investors, as lenders, as collaborators.

Women are great at sharing their knowledge. Let’s keep doing that. Seeing women share what they’ve learned from me about money with their friends is a huge buzz for me.

Sharing financial literacy, business strategies and money management skills is why I have my podcast. I want to see women and other good eggs making more money and using it to create wealth for themselves and their communities.

This is how we’re going to flip the statistics and start lifting more women into wealth through entrepreneurship.

If you’re looking for creative ways to invest in your business expansion, or someone else’s, last week’s Money Secrets Podcast episode is your next listen.

Rant over 🙂

So many opportunities die before they get a chance.

Because we don’t realise how many options there are to fund big projects and expansions.

You just need to think outside the square and be open to taking on more risk. 

In this episode of Money Secrets Podcast I’m talking about how to find the money to do big things.

Buying another business.
Opening a new location.
Launching a new product.
Creating a new revenue stream.

The money doesn’t necessarily have to come from you.

We’re talking bank finance, investors, vendor finance, joint ventures and even getting your customers to fund your growth through pre-sales.

Because a lot of great ideas never go anywhere simply because we don’t consider what options are actually on the table.

I’m so sick of this advice from other business coaches.

Communication is the number one skill in business.

Tell me I’m wrong.

Communicating what differentiates you from your competitors is how to attract the right people through your marketing.

Communicating why someone should work with you now, instead of later, is how to make the sale today.

Communicating your desired outcome with your team and suppliers is how to get amazing work from them.

Communicating with your customers when something goes wrong is how you retain a loyal client.

Communicating your pitch or ask is how you make big moves.

It’s why so much of what I work with my clients on is communication.

Words.

The words you use make or cost you money.

Words matter.

Yes, I’m an accountant. But mostly I’m a business strategist who loves words.

Words are how business strategies actually happen.

How much effort do you put into your communication as a founder?

People pretend that outsourcing is easy.

The solution to all problems in business.

“Just outsource it” they say.

But there’s skill and strategy behind being able to outsource and get great results.

Dara from BYZANTINE DESIGN - MELBOURNE TILE SHOWROOM explains that she no longer calls it outsourcing. It’s now called collaborating.

She has a shared responsibility for the results she hires specialists to get for her.

And it’s working.

Dara is great at managing her money, including how she invests in collaborators.

That doesn’t stop her mind from trying to convince her she’s bad with money. Even as a million dollar business owner she has to “give herself a good talking to” sometimes.

Is celebrating your 16th business birthday weird?

If it is? I don’t care.

I like weird.

I choose to celebrate the good and the silly.

And I love the community of courageous, generous, smart and damn fine women I have around me.

My 16th business birthday party was ace.

When was the last time you celebrated a milestone in your business?
