Bringing Business to Retail

My coconut body wash does more than make me feel like I’m going on holiday.
It also showcases a number of ways that business owners could be increasing their profits.

That seems like a lot to get from a $25 bottle of body wash, but trust me, it’s just the start (and yes, it really is a vacation in a bottle). It’s seen me through a lot, including something I’ve personally struggled with and had to overcame to make my business boom.

Listen to this week’s podcast as I discuss the 7 things that a business owner can do to increase their profits without losing customers. (You could be doing some of them RIGHT NOW!)

Take it from someone who started a business during the GFC, I know business is challenging right now. I’ve been there. BUT it won’t last forever, and if you still want to be in business in 12 months, you’ll want to hear how to turn this difficult season into a golden opportunity.

Yes, business is challenging but with every challenge comes opportunities, and in this podcast, I focus on how and why business owners should be jumping on those rather than blaming the economy or buying into the media’s doom-and-gloom.

Discover how I’ve shifted my own mindset to seize opportunities and some of the business opportunities waiting for you.

Yesterday marked my 20th wedding anniversary.

I met Ed in a pub, after getting some life altering news.
We went on a date 2 nights later, got engaged THREE WEEKS LATER, married FOUR MONTHS from the day we met.
No, I wasn’t pregnant.
Yes, his parents asked “who to” when he said he was getting married…

What the heck has this got to do with how much you should be earning?

Back when I first opened my business, the economy looked a lot like it does now.

It was the Global Financial Crisis, people were tightening their belts, interest rates were rising…

But there were still things that would sell.

And for me, it was these super cool wet/dry bags that i used to import from America

(fun fact, nearly 20 years later I STILL use those same bags, but I digress).

I started out selling them for $29.95, but with exchange rates blowing out, fuel price increase affecting shipping prices and import duty, I had no idea how one of my competitors could still be selling them for $29.95.

What were they doing, that I wasn’t?

I remember it like it was yesterday (how can I ever forget). I was drowning in debt, exhausted from pouring everything I had into my struggling business. How did it all go so wrong?

Back when I first started out, I was so naive about finances.
Despite growing up poor, watching every penny come into and leave my bank account, that all went out the window when I opened my first store.
Even with a business degree, accounting was a total mystery to me (I failed accounting - twice!).

So in those first years of business, I was not only looking for a coach and mentor, but someone who could help me focus on the money side of things.
The truth is, that accountant / business coach didn’t help me make more money or become more profitable.

I felt utterly betrayed. How could this have happened?
I blamed my accountant /business coach.
I blamed my bookkeeper
I blamed the economy (after all it was a Global Financial Crisis)
I blamed the media, and the government

I'd been paying for so called expert advice, so why did no one tell me there were problems that needed to be sorted or help me devise a plan to make sure that we could weather the storm???

This episode is a must for any business owner who has wondered if they can really trust the 'experts' they hire. Whether it's the marketing agency you felt ripped you off, or the accountant that never told you you were teetering on the edge of bankruptcy...
