BITE-SIZED CHUNKS WILL HELP YOU GROW YOUR BUSINESS FASTER THAN WAITING TO GET YOUR DUCKS IN A ROW EVER WILL!   Have you ever been on the verge of a big decision for your business? Have you been worried that maybe you’ll be biting off more than you can chew?   Many business owners hit this particular wall when it comes to staff recruitment. But there are many areas in business where starting bite-sized will help you grow faster than delaying the inevitable.    Too often we let fear of success, fear of financial impact, and fear of criticism get in the way of make decisions. We procrastinate. We avoid. We battle on trying to make do.    Think about breaking big decisions into manageable chunks, and where possible consider a trial period if one is available.    Dive in and smash those fears!    Much love, Tess x p.s.

My latest conversation with Evan Carmichael is now available on YouTube!  We talked about disappointing others, noticing negative self-talk, and the sneaky strategies we each use to overcome it.   AND I gave Evan so much homework he got the sulks!

Check out the latest conversation between Evan Carmichael and me ... we talk about the challenge to feel "good enough" as a person versus feeling "good enough" at what we do, and what this has to do with growth ... and much more!

Apparently Evan Carmichael is a comedian!

I’ve got a question for you: Who’s business are you actually minding? If you are overly focussed on what others are doing, you can’t possibly have enough attention for what is going on right in front of your face ... i.e., in your own business. It is fine to keep an eye on the market. It is fine to keep an eye on current trends. It is absolutely fine to make sure you stay current and relevant. But really? Is that what you’re doing? Or are you just being a nosy parker? Or a gossip? Or jealous? Or judgmental? I ask you this because it is something I have wrestled with from time to time. So these days I try to remember to ask myself ... Tess, (I said love, I said pet), what is your motivation here? I love a good chat as much as the next person. But I know when I’m not acting within my values (Dignity First, Last, and Always), so if I catch myself being a Mrs Sharples (google it if you’re not as old as me!) I back off and give myself a reminder of where my focus (and my nose) should be. In my own business. Besi

It was my great pleasure to recently interview Jim Sheils about the unique challenges of juggling parenting with entrepreneurship. His program for entrepreneurial parents, 18 Summers, supports entrepreneurs to succeed at home as well as in business. I truly loved this conversation with Jim, as it explored two areas I am most passionate about - family and business. Find our more about Jim at: www.18summers.com #parenting #business #entrepreneur

Do you find yourself posting to social media wondering “Is anyone even out there??” On a logical level, you know it doesn’t really matter how many followers or views or likes your posts get, right? You know who it matters to? One person. Well, okay two. Most importantly it matters to the ONE person today who identified with your message. The ONE person who no longer felt alone in their experience. The ONE person you helped today. And they might not even let you know. They might be lurking shyly in the background, absorbing everything you post. Or they might have stumbled across your content for the first time. It doesn’t matter. And that brings me to the second person who matters in this equation. You. If you’re passionate about your message, if you’re proud of the content you produce (give or take a healthy dose of imperfect action), if you stand by your content ... then you can stand proud my friend. Stay consistent. Stay authentic. Keep putting your message out there. Building an audience takes time. But i

This is a question I was asked before dawn this morning during an interview with European motivational speaker, Daniel Weinstock, for his podcast.  My immediate answer was yes.   Partly because I have mentors, and I’ve grown significantly as a business owner through the work I’ve done since I started working with them.  Partly because of the growth journey I’ve observed my clients travel along as I sit in the privileged position of being their mentor.   But mostly it’s because I believe so whole-heartedly in the dangers of remaining isolated as business owners and entrepreneurs.   We surround ourselves with those who love us, but not necessarily with those who get what we deal with on a daily basis as business owners.   It’s a tough and sometimes lonely road, if you let it be. If you stay stuck in isolation. And it is for this reason that I believe finding a mentor who you can resonate with and who you can trust is vital. Someone who’s been there, done that, got the battle scars

I had a fabulous chat with one of my mentor clients this morning about their decision to take a slower approach to building their business, in the meantime adding more strings to their bow through other means.   We talked about the fear that this meant failing in their business endeavors. We talked about the fear that their business might falter.  And then we talked about alignment.   If you decide to do something different to what you’d planned - and it’s aligned to your big-picture vision - it’s not a failure, it’s a new goal If you decide to slow things down - and it’s aligned to your big-picture vision - it’s not a failure, it’s a change in pace If you decide to take time to consolidate new learning and seek more of the same - and it’s aligned to your big-picture vision - it’s not a failure, it’s a sign of wisdom.   Just because your goals have changed, it doesn’t mean you’ve failed, it means you’ve incorporated new information into your thinking and have shifted your goals accordingly

I’m always grateful to the posse of incredible minds that I have built over the last few years. No matter what issue, what question, what drama, or what celebration - I have someone I can turn to who will “get” that particular conversation.   I don’t need to tell you how important it is to talk through the tough stuff. It’s what keeps us afloat.   But did you know it can be utterly debilitating to not have anyone in your corner who can wholeheartedly cheer when you’re winning?   Our partners try, but don’t always fully get it.   Our family members love us, warts and all, but don’t really get it.   Our friends might give us a kick up the bum when we need it, but they don’t get it either.   You need a posse.   You need a squad.   You need a tribe.  You need a band of like-minded souls, crazy and wise and savvy enough to absolutely GET IT. Because then you will truly be unstoppable. You will have truth talkers who will tell you when you’re barking up the wrong tree. Y

What if there was no fallback plan, no safety net, no Plan B? How much energy and inspiration would you pour into your business then? Stop playing it safe. Stop letting fear call the shots. Start acting AS IF there is no Plan B ... TODAY! This is a moment of ON FIRE inspiration for you to start taking action.

You know that to-do list you’ve got? You know the one? That one that never seems to get completed?  It’s like being stuck in a hamster wheel, right?  Endless. Monotonous. Not loving it!   More than financial stress (which is occasional), more than staffing stress (which is situational), the never-ending monotony of your never-ending list of never-finished tasks is what gets you the most stressed, even if you don’t realize it.   Because it’s death by a thousand cuts.   Because it’s like suffocating.   Because it’s like drowning.   Or being trapped.   So how do we fix this?   Before I answer that, let me ask you this: How often have you taken time out to appreciate all that you do?   And this: When did you last get real with how you spend your time?   Or this: When did you last fully appreciate all that you sacrifice, achieve, and risk on a DAILY basis?   I thought so.  So here’s what I want you to do … Spend the next week documenting at regular i
