We're surrounded by advice in business - Facebook groups, friends, family, social media, coaches, YouTube, and even AI. But how do you know what advice to actually take on board? In this episode of the Business Owners Podcast, Linda Reed-Enever sits down with experienced business coach and trainer Jane Tweedy to explore how to filter through the noise and focus on guidance that aligns with your business goals. Having personally supported over 2000 small business owners and with more than a decade of experience in coaching, training, and SEO strategy, Jane brings a powerful mix of practicality, honesty, and lived wisdom. Together, she and Linda break down how to tell the difference between helpful insights and harmful distractions, and how to stay focused in a world that's always telling you to "do more". Whether you're navigating conflicting advice, questioning a new strategy, or just feeling overwhelmed by input, this episode is packed with tools to help you take back control. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why not all advice is created equal From well-meaning friends to random SEO "experts", Jane unpacks the danger of listening to people who don't understand your business or your goals. The MASTER Framework Jane shares her MASTER framework, Mindset, Aim, Strategy, Tactics, Execution, and Review, to help business owners stay grounded and filter advice through a smart, structured lens. Understanding who to trust Linda and Jane explore how to assess whether an advisor, coach, or even an AI tool is actually suitable for your needs, and how to tell if someone's giving advice from experience or from fear. Setting boundaries with clients and offerings Jane and Linda reflect on real-world stories from their own businesses, showing how over-giving (and not sticking to boundaries) can lead to burnout, misalignment, and confusion about your value. How entrepreneurial mindsets and ADHD traits intersect Jane explains how the traits that make entrepreneurs thrive - curiosity, fast thinking, and creativity - can also cause overwhelm and constant course-changing without a plan. Finding your niche without boxing yourself in From seasonal pivots to changing customer needs, Jane shares how to embrace flexibility in your niche while still speaking directly to your ideal clients. Jane's Advice for Business Owners Mindset matters: If you don't believe in yourself, it's hard for anyone else to. Work on your internal dialogue as much as your external strategy. Check the source: Don't take advice from people who haven't walked in your shoes, especially when it comes to business strategy, legal, or financial decisions. Don't blindly follow trends: Whether it's a YouTube tip, Facebook group comment, or AI-generated idea, filter it through your business goals and reality. Know your boundaries: Be clear about what each level of your offering includes. Stop giving VIP service to budget clients. Slow down to speed up: Make time to review your strategy, goals, and systems instead of constantly reacting to what's trending. Key Takeaway You don't need to take on every piece of advice, only the guidance that aligns with your goals, values, and current stage of business. Stay true to what you're building, and don't let someone else's limiting beliefs steer your decisions. Action Step Review the last 5 pieces of advice you received. Ask yourself: Does this align with my goals right now? Is the source credible and relevant to my business? Am I ready to implement it, or am I just feeling pressured? Use Jane's MASTER framework to help you decide whether to act, pause, or let it go. Connect with Jane Tweedy: Website LinkedIn Ready to Get Support?

When you're doing everything in your business, you're not doing the work that truly matters. In this episode of The Business Owners Podcast, Clive Enever sits down with Kirsten Graham, co-founder of Six Figure Business Coaching, to unpack how outsourcing and the right support systems can transform the way you grow. Kirsten shares her journey from mortgage broking to building a VA matching service that helps entrepreneurs stay in their zone of genius, doing the work they love, while expert virtual assistants take care of the rest. This conversation offers a deep dive into why business owners often struggle with delegation, how to shift into the mindset of a real CEO, and the steps you can take to set up systems that support consistent growth and freedom. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why Support Beats Burnout Most entrepreneurs start out wearing all the hats, but that doesn't mean you should. Kirsten shares how hiring support early, even before you feel "ready", can prevent overwhelm and help you scale faster. Delegation Is a Skill, Not a Trait If you've ever said "I just can't delegate", Kirsten has news for you. She explains why delegation is a learnable business skill, and how even perfectionists can master it with structure and support. From Chaos to Clarity with Systems Discover how Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and clear expectations set your team, and your business, up for success. Why Hiring Before You're Ready Works Waiting until you're drowning is the worst time to hire. Kirsten outlines how to hire smart and build support before you burn out. Outsource What's Not Your Zone of Genius From bookkeeping to content marketing, Kirsten highlights the kinds of tasks you should be offloading so you can focus on growth, service, and strategy. AI Won't Replace VAs Who Evolve Kirsten also shares her perspective on AI and how the best virtual assistants will embrace tech to deliver even more value, not be replaced by it. Kirsten Graham's Advice for Business Owners - Waiting until you're underwater makes onboarding harder. Start with part-time help early. - If you're spending hours learning tasks you'll never master or enjoy, outsource them. - If it's good enough and gets the outcome, that's success. - Your business needs to reflect your goals, not someone else's template. - The best VAs will evolve and add even more value by integrating new tools. - If a task isn't revenue-generating or core to your zone of genius, it shouldn't sit on your to-do list.

Have you ever walked out of a strategy session feeling more confused than when you started? You're not alone. Business strategy can often seem complicated, but the truth is, real strategy is about clarity, and clarity is simple. Clive Enever breaks down how to move from strategy overwhelm to strategic momentum. He explains why simplicity drives better decisions, faster progress, and sustainable growth, and shares a practical three-step framework to help you refine your strategy without starting from scratch. The Power of Simplicity The most successful businesses aren't the most complex, they're the clearest. When your strategy is simple, you make smarter decisions, take faster action, and create systems that scale without stress. Complexity might look clever, but simplicity is what actually builds momentum. A 3-Step Framework for Business Clarity Revisit Your Purpose Every effective strategy starts with understanding why your business exists. It's not just about making money, but delivering a result for a specific client. Write your purpose in one clear sentence (around 14–18 words). If it takes a paragraph, it's not clear enough. Clarity here shapes every decision that follows. Refine Your Priorities There's always more to do in business, but not everything needs to be done. Focus on the one goal that will move your business forward in the next 90 days. Build your activity around that single objective and strip away the rest. Simplicity here creates focus, and focus creates results. Create Simple Systems Strategy only works when it's executed. Identify the repeatable steps that deliver your desired outcomes and document them. Delegate where possible, automate where practical, and ensure every process is easy to explain. If it's too complex, it won't stick. Put It Into Action Set aside 30 minutes with no meetings, no distractions, just you and your strategy. Ask yourself three questions: - What is my business really here to do? - What's my one priority for the next 90 days? - What simple systems will support that? Write your answers down and revisit them often. With clarity and consistency, you'll go further with a lot less stress. Why Simplicity Wins Every Time Growth comes from clear thinking and consistent action. By refining, not rebuilding, your strategy, you'll make better decisions, lead with confidence, and stay aligned with what truly matters in your business.

Kunal Joshi's story begins with a leap of faith: leaving a steady job to enter business ownership. What started as a single franchise store grew into three successful locations before he and his wife Shahin launched their own brand during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through perseverance and creativity, they turned uncertainty into opportunity, expanding their business Bang On Brows into a thriving multi-store enterprise with a dedicated training centre. In this episode of the Business Owners Podcast, Kunal joins Clive Enever to reflect on how resilience, quick thinking and inclusive leadership helped him and his wife navigate challenges like staffing shortages, brand recognition and lockdowns, all while raising two young daughters. Key Takeaways from This Episode Resilience creates opportunity Kunal and Shahin launched their brand during one of the toughest times for small businesses and thrived by treating setbacks as lessons. Numbers tell the real story From client return rates to hourly productivity, tracking data allows you to make objective decisions about growth, staffing and sustainability. Inclusive leadership builds stronger teams By involving staff in key decisions and valuing feedback, Bang On Brows fosters collaboration and accountability at every level. Preparation beats luck Having their systems, website and brand materials ready before approaching shopping centres gave Kunal and Shahin an edge over competitors. Adaptability is the ultimate skill From running a franchise to creating an independent brand, the couple's ability to adapt quickly turned challenges into catalysts for innovation. Kunal's advice for business owners - Do your homework. Research the market, the location and the people you'll serve before launching your business. - Numbers help you understand what's working and where to improve, so make sure you track them. - Build your team intentionally: develop skills through training and mentorship. - Lead inclusively and empower employees by giving them a voice in shaping decisions that impact them. - Start small, but think long-term.

Have you ever felt like you're working harder in your business but not getting anywhere? You're not alone, and more importantly, there's nothing wrong with you. The truth is, many business owners hit a point where hard work alone won't get them the clarity or results they're after. That's where strategic mentoring comes in. In this episode, Clive Enever takes you behind the scenes of what truly happens in strategic mentoring and how it helps business owners unlock growth, make better decisions, and create sustainable momentum. This isn't about hype or surface-level advice, it's about discovering the personalised strategies that will move your business forward. Key Takeaways Clarity Comes First Strategic mentoring begins with understanding you, your values, your vision, and your unique business model. Without clarity, growth is guesswork. It's About Strategy, Not Motivation You don't need more ideas. You need sharper insight, the right questions, and focused actions that lead to real transformation. Tailored Support Creates Real Change Mentoring is never one-size-fits-all. It's built around your business, your challenges, and your goals, which is why it drives results that feel aligned and achievable. Real Growth Can Look Like Less Stress One simple pricing tweak helped a client double revenue and reduce overwhelm, because strategic changes create powerful ripple effects. Mentoring Builds Confidence and Momentum With the right guide, you stop second-guessing and start making decisions that reflect both your business potential and personal priorities. Action Step Ask yourself: Am I tired of going in circles? Am I ready for real, sustainable results? Would I benefit from a trusted perspective to help me grow? If the answer is yes, take one step forward today, whether that's booking a call or reflecting honestly on where your business may need realignment. Final Thoughts Running a business is rewarding, but it can also be complex and isolating. Strategic mentoring provides the space to pause, reflect, and make decisions that are not just faster, but better. Whether you're scaling, navigating change, or simply ready to realign, mentoring offers a smarter way to grow, with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

From Bunnings to boardrooms, Aileen Day has built a career helping businesses of all sizes design better experiences for customers, employees and communities. In this episode of The Business Owners Podcast, Linda Reed Enever chats with Aileen about what customer experience (CX) really means, why it goes far beyond customer service and how business owners can start building human-centred journeys that keep people coming back. Aileen shares practical advice for setting boundaries, designing for the right customer and recognising that CX isn't just an acronym, it's the sum of every touchpoint, from marketing and sales to culture and post-sale service. Her candid style brings clarity to often-overlooked topics like self-compassion, systems and how to ensure your business doesn't become a "dumpster fire" as it grows. Whether you're a solopreneur or leading a team, this conversation offers fresh, actionable strategies for creating customer and employee experiences that actually work. Key Takeaways from This Episode CX Is more than customer service Customer experience is the sum of every touchpoint: from how customers discover you to how they feel years after using your product or service. Boundaries protect your business Trying to be everything to everyone is a fast track to burnout. Aileen explains why setting boundaries creates healthier relationships with clients and leads to better experiences. Design for the right customer Not everyone is your customer. Build systems, processes and journeys for the people who value your offering and be willing to walk away from those who don't. Culture shapes experience Employee experience and workplace culture play a huge role in CX. Unhappy employees create unhappy customers. Do CX on purpose If your business growth feels chaotic, it's a sign you're not designing experiences consciously. Systems, governance and repeatable processes turn chaos into consistency. Start small and start now Micro-businesses have a unique advantage: agility. Use simple tools (even a 78c notebook) to track customer journeys, collect insights and refine touchpoints. Be kind to yourself The way you treat yourself shows up in how you serve others. Self-compassion is a foundational piece of building authentic, human-centred businesses. Aileen's advice for business owners Customer experience isn't just service, it's every touchpoint. Not everyone is your client. Protect your time and energy by defining who you serve best, pricing your work appropriately, and being prepared to walk away when needed. You don't need complex tools to begin. Simple practices can reveal valuable insights early on. Employee wellbeing and self-compassion directly shape customer experiences.

Need a mindset refresh? Sometimes a small shift is all it takes to bring clarity, focus, and renewed energy to your day. In this short and practical episode of The Business Owners Podcast, Linda Reed-Enever shares one of her go-to strategies for steering your thoughts back to positivity, especially when you're learning something new or juggling many roles. This quick mindset exercise will help you reframe challenges, recognise your progress, and put your focus where it matters most. Simple Positivity Reset Tips Set a 5-minute timer and write down everything positive happening in your world or business. Use two lists: positives on one page, negatives on another. For every 1 negative, write 3 positives. Highlight 3 key wins from your positive list. These are your reminders of progress. Discard the negative list (bin it, shred it, delete it). It's not serving you. Make the positive list visible. Post it by your desk, in your journal, or wherever you'll see it. What to Do Next Put pen to paper. This exercise works best when you write, not just think. Writing helps lock in the wins, shift your mindset, and reconnect with your momentum.

From handmade jewellery at seven years old to running six businesses alongside her husband today, entrepreneur and consultant Caterina Sullivan has built a career on creativity, resilience and purpose. In this episode of The Business Owners Podcast, Linda Reed Enever chats with Caterina about the realities of managing multiple ventures, why charging what you're worth is essential, and how to build a business that's both profitable and sustainable. Caterina's story spans consulting, sustainability, IT, creative industries and even launching the Australian Yarn Show. She shares candid advice on setting boundaries, saying no, and ensuring your business aligns with your values, all while still leaving time for family and self-care. Whether you're juggling multiple projects, navigating the tension between purpose and profit, or simply wanting to avoid burnout, this conversation offers practical, heartfelt insights for business owners at every stage. Key Takeaways from This Episode Redefine "busy" and "hustle" Caterina avoids using "busy" as a badge of honour. Instead, she reframes it as being intentional with her time, choosing meaningful projects over endless hustle. Know the value of your time Budgets aren't just about expenses, they're about how you spend your hours. Putting a dollar value on your time can help justify tools, outsourcing and investments that free you to focus on higher-value work. Charge what you're worth Too many product-based businesses, especially women-led ones, undervalue their craft. Caterina stresses the importance of pricing based on time, skill, and uniqueness, not just materials. Learn to say no Not every client is the right client. Caterina shares ways to soften "no" without compromising your values, reminding business owners that turning away misaligned work saves time and energy in the long run. Anchor your business in values From consulting to the Australian Yarn Show, Caterina builds everything around her core values of community, connection and collaboration. Clear values attract the right customers and make decision-making easier. Review, reflect and reset Regularly step back to review strategy, systems, and goals. Build in time to assess whether your business is still serving you and your life, not the other way around. Caterina's advice for business owners Be open-minded. Technology and trends change quickly: experiment, test and see what fits. Stay true to your values. Not everyone is your customer, and that's okay. Invest in yourself. Build routines that sustain you as much as your business. Embrace the long game. Sustainable growth often matters more than quick wins.

Loud voices often dominate the room, but they don't always lead it. In this powerful episode, Clive Enever challenges the idea that confident leadership must be bold, brash, or loud. Instead, he shares how true trust is earned through clarity, consistency, and calm presence, not volume. If you've ever questioned whether being a quieter person limits your leadership potential, this episode is for you. Clive offers practical, empowering insights for business leaders ready to lean into their natural strengths and lead with purpose, not performance. Key Takeaways: Confidence isn't volume, it's certainty. People follow grounded leaders, not loud ones. Trust is built through consistency and quiet clarity. Presence speaks louder than words. Leaders who listen deeply and speak with intention inspire more trust and respect than those who dominate. Body language matters. When your physical presence matches your intent, even a few words can carry real authority. Silence can be powerful. Strategic pauses and well-chosen words invite engagement and signal confidence. Leadership is personal alignment. The most trusted leaders are those who know their values, back themselves, and lead with care. Actions You Can Take: Ground yourself daily. Take a few minutes each morning to reconnect with your purpose and values. Speak with purpose. Before speaking, ask yourself: Is this clear, useful, and aligned with what I stand for? Listen more than you speak. Active listening builds trust, credibility, and stronger team connections. Final Thoughts You don't need to raise your voice to raise your impact. Confidence in leadership is felt, not shouted. When you back yourself with clarity and show up with consistency, your presence becomes your power. As Clive reminds us, the world doesn't need more noise, but more clarity. So lead with calm, lead with care, and lead your way. Want to grow your leadership with confidence and clarity?

Whether your team is local or spread across different regions, the way people work together has a direct impact on efficiency, morale, and the outcomes you deliver to clients. Collaboration isn't optional, but essential. According to business strategist Clive Enever, creating a collaborative team environment is something that must be built with intention. In this episode, Clive explores what it takes to get your team working well together. From mindset and communication tools to listening and encouragement, he breaks down how to build a workplace where ideas flow freely, effort is shared, and everyone feels part of the mission. Key Takeaways: Attitude is the foundation of collaboration. A team aligned in mindset will focus on the outcome, even if working remotely or across time zones. Communication tools are essential. From phone calls to CRM platforms, the goal is to keep everyone updated in real time, working towards the same goals. Team meetings build trust and openness. Inviting everyone to share ideas, including differences of opinion, makes people feel valued and heard. Some of the best ideas come from unexpected places. When people feel safe to speak up, innovation thrives across all levels of the team. Encouragement fuels performance. Ongoing support and recognition lead to better collaboration, higher effort, and happier clients. Closing Thoughts According to Clive, "Many hands make light work, they say. They do, provided they're all working together." Clive reminds us that collaboration is not automatic, but built through communication, mutual respect, and the right tools. When your team members feel heard and encouraged, they'll not only give their best, but they'll also enjoy the journey. The result? Smoother delivery, increased performance, and a business that runs like it's basking in sunshine.

Is blogging dead in the age of AI? Absolutely not. But it has changed. In this episode of The Business Owners Podcast, content and marketing strategist Linda Reed-Enever answers the big question many business owners are asking: "What role does blogging play in today's AI-powered world?" The short answer: blogging isn't dead, but it does need to be smarter. Linda walks through the evolving role of blog content, how to harness AI tools to your advantage, and why creating purposeful, audience-first content is still one of the best strategies for visibility, engagement, and SEO. Key Takeaways Blogging Is Not Dead, It's More Competitive With the rise of AI-generated content, standing out now takes more strategy than ever. This means we need smarter planning, clearer themes, and blog posts that offer real value. AI Is a Tool, Not the Final Answer AI can help generate outlines and ideas, but your voice, your tone, and your value are still essential. Speak to your audience, teach with intent, and use AI to support, not replace, your content creation process. Quarterly Themes Create Stronger Blog Strategy Set your blog themes quarterly to align with your broader marketing efforts. Use keyword research tools like Answer the Public to explore what your audience is searching for. Optimise for SEO and User Experience Use tools like Rank Math or Frase to fine-tune your post. Add keywords, cross-links, alt text, and image descriptions to improve ranking and readability. Always Include a Call to Action Every blog should lead somewhere. Whether it's a newsletter signup, a discovery call, or a lead magnet, a strong CTA turns readers into engaged followers. Talk to Your AI If AI isn't quite capturing your tone, try speaking your thoughts first, then use that transcript to shape your blog post. It's a great way to keep your content aligned with your brand voice. Actions You Can Take Map out your blog themes at the start of each quarter. Use keyword tools to validate your blog topics. Create a blog outline with AI, then write or speak your content in your authentic tone. Optimise your post for SEO. Add a clear, valuable call to action at the end of each post. Your Blogging Challenge This month, set a clear theme for your content. Choose one blog topic, use keyword research to validate it, and create an outline with AI support. Then write (or voice-record) your version of the post, and optimise it with purpose before hitting publish. Need help refining your blog strategy?

From economics and government regulation to AI and entrepreneurship, Damon Rasheed has built a career on turning data into action. In this episode of The Business Owners Podcast, Clive Enever chats with Damon about the real-world benefits of automation, how small businesses can unlock value in their data, and why now is the perfect time to adopt smarter systems. Whether you're spending too much time on repetitive tasks or are unsure how to use your business data meaningfully, Damon offers a practical, down-to-earth take on where to begin and how to grow. His journey spans government work, sports modelling, AI-driven healthcare, and more, making this conversation a must for any business owner ready to work smarter, not harder. Key Takeaways from This Episode Data is a Tool, Not the Destination Collecting data is just the beginning. Damon explains that the real value comes from analysing, interpreting and acting on your data to drive improvements in productivity, profitability and efficiency. You're Probably Sitting on a Goldmine Many business owners don't realise they're already collecting valuable data. Whether it's customer trends or process insights, there are opportunities in every dataset if you know how to look. Automate the Repetitive Stuff If you're doing the same task every day or every week, there's a good chance it can be automated. Damon shares how automation frees up your time for high-value work like strategy, leadership and growth. Machine Learning Is Now Accessible You no longer need a huge budget to tap into AI. With the rise of tools like ChatGPT, automation is now within reach for small businesses, solopreneurs and consultants looking to do more with less. Be Careful When Using Language Models While tools like GPT can help write code and accelerate tasks, they also come with risks. Damon shares practical advice for using AI responsibly, especially when working with sensitive or high-stakes data. Plan for the Future, But Don't Overthink It It's easy to get caught in endless competitor analysis and forecasting. Damon reminds us that if a business idea stays with you, it's worth exploring. Sometime, taking action beats chasing perfection. Damon's Advice for Business Owners Monitor and analyse your own data. Don't wait for someone else to tell you what's working. Let your data show you what matters most. Know when to say no. Your time is limited. Being selective and focused is essential to growth. Balance work and life. Business doesn't have to mean burnout. As Damon shares, the right balance leads to better thinking, better decisions and better outcomes. Look ahead, but stay present. Opportunities are everywhere, especially in industries ripe for innovation like education, health and road safety. But those gains come from acting on today's insights.

In the pursuit of business growth, it's easy to lose sight of the very reason you started in the first place. That's where the importance of aligning your personal vision with your business strategy comes in. According to Clive Enever, many people build businesses that appear successful on the outside, yet internally, they're battling stress, fatigue, and even illness, often due to a disconnect between their values and their business direction. In this thoughtful episode, Clive explores how entrepreneurs can experience more clarity, energy, and success by creating a strategy rooted in who they really are and what they truly want. He walks listeners through a simple yet powerful reflection process to reduce internal conflict and align goals with purpose. Key Takeaways: Stress often signals misalignment between your business activity and your personal values or vision. Successful businesses are built on mission, vision and values, and each plays a critical role in long-term fulfilment and growth. Values-driven strategy attracts others who are inspired by your clarity and passion, making business more enjoyable and sustainable. Start with two lists: one for personal goals, one for business goals. Expand them and compare to identify misalignments or opportunities for growth. If conflict exists, change the business, not your values. Your values are what drive you, and aligning them with your business leads to greater satisfaction and impact. Your personal vision and your business strategy don't have to compete. When aligned, they can fuel each other in powerful ways. By clarifying what you truly want and allowing that to guide your strategic decisions, you can build a business that not only performs but also deeply fulfils you. As Clive reminds us, this alignment is the key to reducing stress, staying motivated, and making a positive impact in your world, starting from the inside out.
