There’s a story of a woman who lived according to the “WHEN” philosophy…and her life went something like this...
I’m going to travel one day... WHEN I have the money
I’m going to spend longer with my kids… WHEN I have the time
I’m going to start writing my book… WHEN I feel more creative
I’m going to mend broken relationships… WHEN I feel like I can learn to forgive
I’m going to quit my work… WHEN I find the courage to do so
I’m going to start my online business…WHEN I’ve done another course
She believed that ONE DAY she would do all these things… but sadly, that day never came for her. 
Little did she realise that the sands of time were running out for her. 
The years went by and she never got to travel, spent little time with her kids, never wrote her book and never quit her job…she died with massive regrets having done nothing she was destined to do.
Are you currently choosing to live like this woman? Are you also playing the “WHEN” game?
If that’s you, what is it going to take for you to realise that you only have ONE PRECIOUS LIFE.
Do the things you want to do because “WHEN” might never come for you. 
It’s never too late to choose a new path. I know you will choose wisely… with this old woman in mind.
Blessings, Maren

Being in business requires you to wear many hats and the pressures to succeed can be overwhelming, especially if you are working with a spouse or close friend.

How often do you hear of partnerships failing between business partners because the pressures of separating business and friendship becomes too much. 

But, it doesn’t have to be that way for you. Working together with a spouse or close friend can be extremely powerful when you maximise each person’s capabilities to the fullest.  

Now, let me be clear. I am NOT a relationship expert but having been married for almost 30 years and working together for almost that entire period with the same man, we have learnt one or 2 lessons along the way which has helped to keep us both sane, still married and still in business together...and YES we do actually still like each other too 😂

Today, Stephen and I am sharing a few things that have worked for us over the last 30 years and can work for you too.

ENJOY!

As a new Mother, when you realise you need an INCOME and you have a DESIRE to stay at home with your newborn, you “make a plan” as they say in South Africa!

And this is exactly what Louisa did - she made a PLAN.

Louisa saw a gap in the market 6 years ago for women wanting to advertise their own businesses online but there were not many options available.

This was an opportunity for her to create something out of necessity and so she got to work.

After 6 months, she only had 100 members so the struggle was very real. This was the time to give up and most people do at this point. However, a burning desire to be a stay at home mum and also earn an online income meant Louisa had to dig deep to make a success.

What transpired next is truly inspiring to all women out there…

I hope you enjoy this episode!

If I were to start an online business with no money, or if I had to start from scratch with no audience, no products and no business, then this is what I would do and this is what YOU can do, if...

You are starting out brand new…
No one knows you…
You haven’t got a product….
You know you need to make an additional income online…especially with rising living costs and unpredictable job prospects...

Yes, it is possible to start an online business with no money or very little money as long as you have a deep desire to create something for you and you are not afraid of doing some work!

If this sounds like YOU, then today’s episode was created especially for you…

Is your business “stuck” right now…

Sales are down, revenues are down and you don’t know how or what to do next to turn things around.
The bad news? Every business goes through these periods where no matter what you do, nothing seems to work. If you keep doing what you are doing and it’s NOT working, you can’t expect to get different results can you?

However, there is some good news. Irrespective of your business model, there are 3 ways you can look to start turning things around…but only if you are open to change….and these are…
#1 Increase the number of customers coming to you

#2 Increase the amount these customers spend with you

#3 Increase the frequency that these customers repurchase from you

In our upcoming LIVE WORKSHOPS in Cape town and on the Garden Route I am going to be covering exactly this - how you - in fact anyone with any business - can use online marketing strategies to find, attract and keep more customers by using lead generation “funnels.”

If you are looking for more customers and looking to grow your business fast, then please head over to www.marenbarnard.com/live to reserve your sea at tone of our LIVE workshop… Spaces are limited so don’t procrastinate…

What would having a mentor do for you and your business?

The internet has a plethora of free information, experts, gurus, bloggers, vloggers and everything in between, yet MOST people still struggle to earn an income online. Why is this so - well, most of this information is disjointed and disorganised and it’s time consuming to make sense of it all. Furthermore, opinions are so vastly different - who and what do you believe?
Over the past 10 years whilst earning an income online, what I’ve learnt is that there are 2 things that allow people to have the most success:

1. A simple SYSTEM or FRAMEWORK to follow - 

2. Following someone who has what you want. Think of a coach, trainer, teacher or mentor. 

Today, I am going to focus on #2 - following and learning from someone who has the practical skills, knowledge and most importantly, the RESULTS that YOU are looking for!!

We have a serious problem on our hands.

Inflation and rising prices are getting out of control and customers are becoming more selective about where they are spending their money!

Have you noticed a drop off in sales?

Have you noticed that your income is getting less but expenses keep on rising?
Still wondering where your next customer will come from?

Well, maybe you want to turn this all around…become “that” person and “that” company who customers want to do business with - irrespective of the economic environment.

In today's episode we talk about how you can build up the trust with your potential customers using your emails!
