I am sure a lot of people can resonate with this.  This episode is a very spontaneous.  Been in the business for nearly 8 years.  This is one of the most ridiculous excuses that I have come across and still come across to date.  You would happily spend $500 or more on your hair but hesitate to invest $500 in your business to grow your business.  Spending something that has no return vs spending on something that can actually grow your wealth!  Which one do you choose?   This is just my...

In last week’s episode, we had the wonderful Anne Lamb who is a pricing strategist educating us all this about pricing.  This week, I would love to dive deeper and explore with you the most common mistakes businesses make.  In my experience, pricing is not a black and white matter.  We need to understand the industry you are in, the factors, COGS, value, time and effort that are involved to produce a certain service or product.  This episode, I am sharing 4 common mistakes that I see while...

Choosing the correct software for your business can be one of the most challenging tasks.  Many of us know that we need a new system but are put off by the various products, the amount of time and costs needed to invest in, or a fear of choosing the wrong solution because you just can’t afford to make a mistake, so it’s important to get it right first time.  If you want some tips on how to choose the correct software that is right for your business, then listen on.  Connect with Lily Send...

Today’s episode is all about reports.  Often, I get questions like what reports should I pull out to see how the business is doing, how to read the financial reports, as small business owner, what are the best reports to review and etc.  Many business owners see success as the direct result of a strong work ethic and good marketing plan, but we know the real secret: it’s all in the accounting! (Well, at least that is what I like to think so)  Good accounting sustains a business, and provides...

Today’s topic is a topic that a lot of people have actually asked me.  How did you get result?  How do you achieve the things that you have achieved?  What steps did you take to make things happen and not just making it happen but have the desired outcome?  So, I thought Iet’s talk about getting result!  Yes, getting result can be challenging sometimes as well as goal setting.  The key thing here is to set a realistic goal that is aligned to your current situation.  In this episode, I shared...

I hated my business.  I hate the pressure that brings from the growth, I hate the fact that I need to make hard decisions.  I hate working on the weekend when I can spend time with my family.  I hate the fact that despite trying to be the best that I can, some clients still take advantage on me.  I hate that sometimes I dreamt about my work?!!! There I said it!  I know some of you will resonate with me!  I really want to be real and raw in my podcast.  Not only sharing the goods, educational...

There are hundreds and thousands of strategies that you can implement or adapt in order to contribute to your business profit.  In today’s episode, I am not going to talk about those strategies!  I want to talk about your behaviour.  Particularly what you call successful behaviours.  As a certified NLP practitioner, I am extremely intrigued by how successful business owners think, act and do.  What behaviours do they all have in common?  I thought you might be interested as well.  Now, I am...

Have you ever thought why you can’t find a bookkeeper that you can trust and work with to grow your business?  Or at the state where you have multiple bookkeepers changed throughout the year?  You Got to a point where you just want to give up having one?  Well, if you feel like that, you need to continue listening to this podcast.  I am going to unpack the reason why you can’t seem to manage to find a trusted bookkeeper.  If any of the reasons resonate with you, I would love to know.  What is...

In previous episode, we talked about the ingredients on how to set a budget. However, a few people have DM me saying, they do not believe in budgeting, because it just doesn’t work. Wasting their time and energy.  Does this resonate with you?  Instead of using it as a tool of empowerment by encouraging you to be smart about money, budget becomes a source of anxiety, stress and frustration!  Budgeting is a lot like dieting. The more guilt you feel, the less likely you are to stick with it. All...

So, what in the world is budgeting?  Why is budgeting important?  Why do we need a budget? Budgeting is not an easy thing to do.  If you have a budget, sometimes it can be stressful because you might find it hard to stick to it.  Hence a lot of people put off the idea of having a budget or simply can't be bothered to do it because they think it is a waste of time since they can’t stick to it.  In this episode, I am sharing with you the general rule of thumbs for budgeting.  Obviously, each...

This episode is the most debatable topic amongst small business owners.    “What does a bookkeeper do?”  “What is the difference between accountant and bookkeeper?”  “Who do I need?”  If you are puzzled with these questions, you can find the answer in this episode.  Having both the accountant & bookkeeper on board will enable flourishing success and further peace of mind knowing your finances are being taken care of. Although it seems straightforward for me but I can understand how...

Today’s episode is a special one! More so because this is how it all started. I have had so many people reached out to me and ask, “ How do I do this?”, “How do you juggle between kids and work?”  “ How do you have time to do it all?”    6.5 years ago, I decided to quit my job (mind you, I didn’t even discuss this with my husband, lucky he’s very supportive about it!).  I just could not take it anymore.  I didn’t feel right about going back to work.  I had to drag myself out of bed to work...

Moving from employee to business owner and solo-preneur to successful business leader requires a mindset shift before the actual growth happens.  I didn’t believe it initially because when I started my business, I had no idea about being a CEO of my own business.  I didn’t grow up with an entrepreneur household.  Both my parents, my siblings and most of my friends are all working employees.  So, I didn’t know much about mindset at all.  Key factors to consider are your strengths and how you...
