The G&T Sessions

December 19, 2019 22:43 - 40 minutes - 15.6 MB

In this episode of the podcast we talk about the mythology and demonising of “marketing”. Like it or not, you’re in the business of sales, and as such marketing matters. Yes, you’re serving your mission. Yes, you’re pursuing your passion. Yes, you’re helping your community in some way or other. But in order to do that in a private business you need your clients or customers to know you exist. That requires marketing. Or “communication”, if you prefer. Gerda and I discuss the fears around ...

My MUST-PLEASE-PEOPLE-IN-AUTHORITY Buttons Got Pushed Today!

December 18, 2019 00:00 - 6 minutes - 5.92 MB

No matter how much we grow in life and in business, there will always be things that trigger that “small” version of you.  You know, the you that felt scared once upon a time?   The you that preferred to stay safe and hidden?   You know, THAT earlier version of the stronger you.  So today, my “people pleaser” buttons got pushed. And when that happens I typically react in one of two ways.   1. I over-compensate to please the people.   2. I rebel and refuse to care whether or not the peopl...

Ep. 139 I just lost an hour that I’ll never get back, and it was such a gift!

December 16, 2019 23:52 - 4 minutes - 4.3 MB

There is no such thing as wasted time, if that time is spent in thinking, planning, understanding, and letting the dust settle.  p.s. There are still a few of my PRE-CHRISTMAS BUNDLES left.

Ep. 138 I'm heading to my team Christmas function!

December 14, 2019 00:00 - 4 minutes - 4.58 MB

I’m heading to my team Christmas function ... which got me thinking about gratitude ... which got me thinking about why I’m offering program bundles in the lead up to Christmas. p.s.

Ep. 137 Why are you so scared of your own fees?

December 12, 2019 00:25 - 9 minutes - 9.02 MB

The issue of fees has been a real theme this week.   What to charge?   How and whether to increase fees?  What does it mean to “charge my worth”?   The key factor to remember is that you owe it to your team, your clients, and of course yourself, to maintain your business’ ability to survive. Most businesses don’t.   Don’t get excited by being the “next big thing”. That won’t pay your bills.   Don’t buy into the guilt around being of “service” rather than profitable. You’re neither a cha...

Ep. 136 YOUR BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT IS AS POWERFUL AS YOUR LOGO, AND DESERVES AT LEAST AS MUCH ATTENTION.

December 12, 2019 00:00 - 2 minutes - 2.27 MB

What does your space day about you? About your business? Thinking about client/customer experience is good customer service.   Take a moment to see things from your client’s perspective. What would you change?   p.s. Want to work with me as your mentor?  Check out my pre-Christmas bundles!   Supersonic Bundle - MidWinter Retreat + NoQuarter + Firestarters = $6,000 (not $7,700) - http://www.tesscrawleyglobal.com/xmas2019   Intensive Bundle - NoQuarter + Firestarters = $3,500 (not $4,400)...

Ep. 135 I COMPLAINED ABOUT POOR SERVICE

December 08, 2019 23:23 - 6 minutes - 5.98 MB

And the manager’s response was spot on!   Here’s why this is relevant to you.   * Customer service * Courtesy  * “Every sale matters”  * No one will live your business as much as you  * Hire for attitude   All of these concepts popped up in this conversation.   p.s. In case you missed it, these limited offer mentoring bundles are still available:   Supersonic Bundle - MidWinter Retreat + NoQuarter + Firestarters = $6,000 (not $7,700) - http://www.tesscrawleyglobal.com/xmas2019   Int...

Ep. 132 Is Your Self-Esteem Hindering Your Business Growth?

December 02, 2019 23:37 - 11 minutes - 10.9 MB

How many times do I hear business owners talk about not feeling good enough? Or not feeling ready? Or not feeling like they have enough experience?   Daily. That’s how often this comes up in my conversations. Daily.   How you feel about yourself has nothing to do with your audience.   How you feel about yourself has nothing to do with your clients.   How you feel about yourself should have nothing to do with your business decisions.   There are lots of reasons why we might doubt ourselv...

Ep. 131 My Three-Pronged Approach to Diary Management.

November 28, 2019 23:43 - 12 minutes - 11.6 MB

With December almost upon us, now is the time to start organising our thoughts for what lies ahead in 2020. I much prefer to do this in November / December, rather than January, because it helps me feel less overwhelmed in the pre-Christmas rush and more prepared for the year ahead. Take time now to prepare your diary. * Block in all the known variables like business travel, conferences, training, birthdays, etc. * Give some thought to planning "static" elements to your diary - themed d...

Ep. 130 When you’ve got all the balls in the air it can be hard to stay focussed!

November 26, 2019 23:33 - 7 minutes - 7.06 MB

Here’s how I’ve managed clients, meetings, and mumming today.   1. Take 5 minutes to set your top 3 priorities for the day.   2. Stay aware throughout the day of when your “unmoveable” things like meetings are so you can plan to use downtime productively.   3. Keep unexpected important interruptions focussed and as brief as appropriate.   4. Keep pen and paper handy to jot down thoughts and ideas as they come to mind.   5. Take time (even just 15 minutes with a coffee) to flesh out idea...

Ep. 129 GOAL SETTING CAN HELP WITH THE OVERWHELM OF BUSINESS OWNERSHIP

November 25, 2019 23:04 - 7 minutes - 7.25 MB

When you feel like setting goals is putting too much pressure on yourself to “achieve”, it tells me you’re already overwhelmed by all that you have to do in your business. I know, because I’ve been there.   You feel pressured from all sides. You feel there are a thousand decisions (big and small) to be made. You feel isolated within your own team, because no one else quite “gets” the pressure you’re under.  You feel like you’re always chasing your tail. You feel hamstrung financially, tryi...

Ep. 128 Everything That Shits Me About Being in Business, and One Thing That I Love! (With Gerda Muller)

November 22, 2019 00:00 - 25 minutes - 9.88 MB

This is the official first episode of our podcast, cheekily entitled "Everything That Shits Me About Being in Business, and One Thing That I Love" - or The G&T Sessions for short (that's G for Gerda and T for Tess, by the way!)  In this episode we discuss the excuses that business owners and other professionals use to not become more visible online (and yes, they are excuses that drive us CRAZY!).  And of course, we also talk about how this feeds into what we love about what we do.  We ho...

Ep. 127 A Conversation with Amberly Lago

November 20, 2019 00:00 - 50 minutes - 19.5 MB

LA-based Texan, Amberly Lago, is an amazing woman. She is a former professional dancer and athlete, and the survivor of a significant motorbike accident that saw her almost lose her leg. It has taken dedication and strength to recover from serious injury and live with chronic pain, but Amberly's sheer generosity of spirit has also led to a daily gratitude practice and a career as a motivational speaker. The title of her book "True Grit and Grace" pretty much sums her up. I consider Amberly,...

Ep. 125 YOU NEED TO SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE AND ASK FOR HELP

November 16, 2019 00:00 - 4 minutes - 3.92 MB

I’ve been away from Melbourne for 25 years. Even so, I like to think of myself as a local. But the reality is that so much has changed, and I find myself an alien among humans.   This is true of business too. It’s easy to feel like we know what we’re doing, that we are old hands. But the reality is that things move pretty quickly. Before you know it you’re out of your depth, feeling left behind, or worse, burnt out. . I’m always impressed when inexperienced staff know the limits of their kn...

Ep. 122 EVAN CARMICHAEL AND ME

November 07, 2019 23:51 - 1 hour - 83.8 MB

How are you with setting boundaries with others? What about setting boundaries with yourself?? In our most recent conversation, Evan and I talked about setting boundaries, self-care, sleep hygiene, and Baileys Irish Creme! This is perhaps one of our more "psychological" conversations, but there are still plenty of laughs and lots of irreverence (mostly at my expense #eyeroll). I hope you'll enjoy this conversation, I know I did. p.s. It’s your last chance THIS DECADE to get your business in...

Ep. 121 THERE IS NO PERFECT STARTUP BUSINESS STRUCTURE AND YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR MIND

November 06, 2019 23:16 - 6 minutes - 5.81 MB

When you are thinking about starting a business, the choices can be overwhelming. Do I go it alone or bring in a partner? Should I start as a company or a sole trader?   You’re so scared to get it wrong that you hesitate starting. You’re so worried about making the wrong choice that you do nothing. Or you lie awake at night losing sleep over what might happen in the future.   Stop it!  There is no set structure to how a business startup looks.   Sole trader. Solopreneur. Small group busi...

Ep. 120 YOU CAN’T BE SELECTIVE WITH GRATITUDE

November 06, 2019 00:00 - 8 minutes - 7.68 MB

I’ve been reflecting on some of the things I’m grateful for. As I embark on the next phase of my professional and family life, ready to return to living in Melbourne, I’ve been thinking about what I’ve sacrificed, survived, and received over the past 25 years in Hobart.   And this morning I had a realisation … I am honestly grateful for the shitty times, as well as the amazing opportunities life in Tasmania afforded me.  Why? Because those shitty times (and let’s face it, some pretty shitty...

Ep. 119 WHEN TO GIVE IT AWAY FOR FREE

November 03, 2019 23:43 - 9 minutes - 9.21 MB

I’ve had a couple of conversations with business owners this week that have raised this question from a couple of angles ... By “giving away” our knowledge and expertise on social media, are we doing ourselves or our profession a disservice?   Short answer is no.  Longer answer is N-O.  “But how does that gel with charging my worth?” ... is usually the next question.   Here’s how it works, in a basic nutshell.   1. Charging your worth is about valuing the services you are selling in your ...

Ep. 109 WHERE IS YOUR FOCUS?

October 24, 2019 00:00 - 4 minutes - 3.95 MB

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...

October 21, 2019 00:46 - 3 minutes - 3.04 MB

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 lur...

Ep. 107 Overcome Business Overwhelm!

October 17, 2019 22:57 - 13 minutes - 12.7 MB

Do these three things if you want to overcome overwhelm in your business.    🔥STOP holding everything so close to your chest   🔥You need to trust that others will do the job. They may not do it the SAME way as you, or as completely as you, or as quickly as you. But who knows, they may just do it BETTER than you, or they might innovate in a a way you’d never thought of. But it doesn’t matter. You can’t do ALL the things AND survive in the long term. Free up some time by delegating. And then...

Ep. 105 DO ENTREPENEURS NEED A MENTOR?

October 14, 2019 23:45 - 9 minutes - 8.61 MB

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...

October 11, 2019 00:57 - 3 minutes - 3.4 MB

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 visio...

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 partn...

Ep. 99 ONE SIMPLE THING YOU CAN DO TO REDUCE YOUR STRESS AS A BUSINESS OWNER

October 08, 2019 00:00 - 7 minutes - 9.87 MB

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 su...

Ep. 98 I don’t care if you’re a “solopreneur” or running a team of 50!

Ep. 96 - YOU NEED TO TAKE THE BLINKERS OFF WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR BUSINESS NICHE!

October 03, 2019 01:54 - 6 minutes - 6.34 MB

Today I had a great conversation within my Quiet Confidence Foundations mentoring group about (amongst other things) business niching. I know you’re familiar with the concept of niching your clientele … focussing on your ideal client - the one’s that really energise you. And honing your message so they’ll recognise themselves and their own needs as a match for your service. But something else struck me during this discussion. It’s easy to inadvertently blinker your vision and assume that ...
