Catching Copycats with Kate Toon

In this episode I'm chatting with Laura from Business with Flow about all things women's cycles.

Laura shares her deep knowledge and experience on the different phases in our cycles and how, as women in business, we can actually harness those different phases for different purposes.

We talk about period shame, how to navigate conversations at work and in life. We also took a dive into how the moon plays a roll in our menstrual cycles. It's not all woo woo, there's a real science behind it. So, if you're ready to start tapping into your cycle and begin running your business in complete flow this is the episode for you.

Do you struggle with tough conversations at work and in life? If your instinct is to avoid, ignore, bury your feelings and never speak up, you’re not alone.

And what happens when you don’t speak up? Typically patterns will continue to repeat themselves. Speaking your truth is easier said than done, but when you do lean in, the rewards can be huge. In this episode Social Swell owner and SEO copywriter, Dom Kimber speaks to Katrina McKechnie about the power of speaking into your experience. If you need to have a tough conversation or just want to enhance your personal growth in business and life - this episode is for you! Listen now.

This month marks 1 year since Covid-19 hit Australia.

It was a whirlwind year for so many businesses but it was also a HUGE learning curve for us all.

We learnt:

⭐ How to diversify what we do

⭐ The importance of digital in a world in lockdown and beyond

⭐ That remote work IS possible with the right tools

But, where do we go from here?

How do we learn from the year that was?

I spoke to Amy Annetts Marketing about all of this and more in the latest episode of the Your Biz Podcast

Kim McCosker is the founder of 4 Ingredients which is now a formidable Australian publishing house.

With 37 cookbooks, tens of thousands of recipes, ebooks, apps and a developing range of kitchenware, 4ingredients has grown to become one of the most recognised and trusted food brands in Australia; with a reported 1 in seven homes owning a 4 Ingredients cookbook.

Like many of you, I’ve often thought about publishing a book. But what happens once you’ve finalised the manuscript? What are the next best steps? Is it better to try your luck with a publishing house or to self publish? In this episode, Kim shares her tips on all of this and more.

They say imitation is the highest form of flattery but when someone starts ripping off your work it can be more than a little bit annoying. I’m all about finding inspiration in others and keeping up with your competitors, but when someone starts copying your work word for word, pinching your designs straight from the page, or just blatantly using your work as theirs it can be detrimental to your business. So in this episode of Your Biz we’re talking about copycats: how to handle them, whether you should confront them and how to stop it killing your vibe.

Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, Snapchat, Pinterest, and dare I say it….. Tik Tok. 

There is a smorgasbord of social media platforms out there that are just bursting with marketing potential.

But Social media isn’t quite as simple as it once was and if you’re feeling a bit flabbergasted with it all, you’re not on your own.

Selecting the right social platforms for your business, creating content that engages your audience, figuring out the best way to optimise your results…… well it has certainly left many a business person scratching their heads.

So, in this episode of Your Biz, I’m tackling social media strategy head-on.

Why you need a plan, what makes a good plan and how you put that plan into action.
