    EP38: Hitting your financial goals for 2023

    I'm not the biggest fan of goals - listen to last week's podcast. Goals are soo masculine and rigid. However, when it comes to business, having goals and measurements of success are essential.  You need to understand what income you are aiming for, what resources you need for that, and forecasting which months may be bigger or smaller. Once these targets are set you then need to track, measure, and re-assess. So what targets should you be setting? Gross revenue per month Estimated cost and resources each month Profit and freedom target Profit margins per service, contract, or product Not a target as such but Cashflow is king Ways to hit your financial targets Increase your revenue Decrease your overheads and costs Increase revenue There are 4 methods to increase revenue Increase the number of customers you serve Increase the average size of each transaction Increase the frequency of transactions Raise your prices - you should have a strategy-backed policy on price rises setting when and how much they will go up When looking for major growth, I always recommend weekly money meetings.

    EP37: How to get the best out of 2023

    Last week I discussed a social media trend I loved - word of the year. This episode we will discuss a social media trend I disagree with - 2023 being your best year. Hint - 2023 doesn't have to be your best year and best shouldn't equate to More.  Sometimes life happens and we have natural contractions and retreats. So instead of going into 2023 thinking it is going to be the best. Go into 2023 with some tips and tricks to make the best of it no matter what life or business throws your way. In this episode we will discuss: How to make the best of 2023 Why society thinks better equals more Well wishes for the future year I hope you get massive value from this podcast.

    EP31: Charm pricing tactics - what is it and is it ethical?

    Episode Description Have you noticed how majority of prices end with a 9, 7, or 5. That is, $9.99 or $997. This is a pricing tactic called charm pricing and it is everywhere. The most common prices end in numbers are 9 and 5, according to a 1997 study, which found that these cents endings accounted for 90% of the 840 prices they analysed (60% ended in 9, 30% ended in 5). It is so common because it is effective. Most languages are written from left to right and the psychology of it is that the first number makes more of an impression than the numbers behind it, so if you see the 4 in $4.97, you’ll think you’re getting a greater value, even if it you’re only saving 3 cents. Another example, $997 seems like it’s “under a thousand dollars” instead of $1,000 which can make people think “wow, it’s a thousand dollars!” But the main question for today is - is it ethical and should you choose to use it? In this episode, you'll hear: What is charm pricing Why it is effective Is it ethical I have taken the pledge with The Ethical Move to not use charm pricing or any other manipulative pricing tactics in my business. I would like to challenge you to think about this, and if right for you, take the pledge as well at: https://www.theethicalmove.org/pledge/ If you found value in this podcast, make sure to subscribe so you get notified when the next episode is released.

    EP23: Imposter Syndrome and Comparisonitis

    But Bonnie.... If you are a marketing expert.... Then why aren't you a millionaire already with a million social media followers? That is the elephant in the room. Or more likely, that is my Imposter Syndrome. Have you ever asked yourself "Who the hell am I to do this?" - if so, come join a raw conversation with another fempreneur asking the same question. This episode is a quick but raw exposure into my inner thoughts during this start up phase. I want to pretend that I am bigger and further along the journey than I am. I wish I was further along. But I am not. I am right here. But does that mean I don't know what I am talking about? Does that mean that I can truly transform your marketing and relationship to your business? No. It so totally doesn't. Do I know that I can help transform and provide confidence and clarity? Yes, I know I can, I am doing that already. So why are we so nervous and ashamed of the starting phase? Have you or are you battling imposter syndrome or comparisonitis? I would love to continue this conversation over at my Insta: https://www.instagram.com/bonniewix.biz/ Or my FB https://www.facebook.com/BonnieWix.Biz

    EP17: The New Hustle by Emma Isaacs Book Review

    Welcome to the next episode of the Best Business Books Review. In this episode, we will be reviewing The New Hustle by Emma Isaacs. We will discuss what was good about it, and what was not so good and pull out all the best gold nuggets of wisdom that we can. This book is fantastic if you have a team or are in a leadership role. However, I was very disappointed by the inconsistent branding. The cover says The New Hustle fighting the hustle culture - yet - the book was all about celebrating HUSTLE. I was really looking forward to reading a book as per the blurb and was infuriated when it did not deliver. Even worse, it glorified burnout for ambition's sake. This book would have been more powerful if it was a more insightful and transparent memoir of the support and services Emma had that allowed her the ambition she encourages. I would love to know your thoughts. Did you love it? Did you hate it? Come join us on the Busy Moms Business Book Club facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/busymomsbusinesbookclub Or come chat with me on Insta at  https://www.instagram.com/bonniewix.biz/ PS I am so sorry about the squeaky sound in the background!!!
