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 moneyI’m going to spend longer with my kids… WHEN I have the timeI’m going to start writing my book… WHEN I feel more creativeI’m going to mend broken relationships… WHEN I feel like I can learn to forgiveI’m going to quit my work… WHEN I find the courage to do soI’m going to start my online business…WHEN I’ve done another courseShe 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, MarenIf you’re looking to AUTOMATE & SCALE your online business then you may be interested in trying out Kajabi for free (sign up with the link below).

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!If you’re looking to AUTOMATE & SCALE your online business then you may be interested in trying out Kajabi for free (sign up with the link below).

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!You can connect with Louisa Duartree:Louisa Duartree FB - https://www.facebook.com/louisa.duartteeMomtrepreneurs SA - https://www.facebook.com/groups/629741377559290If you’re looking to AUTOMATE & SCALE your online business then you may be interested in trying out Kajabi for free (sign up with the link below).

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!!So let’s dive into it…To book for one of our LIVE In-Person WORKSHOPS click the linkhttps://www.marenbarnard.com/liveIf you are ready to start your own ONLINE BUSINESS, feel free to watch my free training:https://www.marenbarnard.com/workshopIf you are planning to turn your knowledge into an online business then you need Kajabi!To try out Kajabi FOR FREE for 30 DAYS click on my SPECIAL link below😃  ... otherwise you will only get 14 days ☹️Full disclosure it’s an affiliate link, so if you end up using Kajabi it will support me as well.

Back when he was first getting successful, Tony Robbins apparently started charging ONE MILLION dollars for personal consultations. His reason was surprising. It wasn’t for the money. It was because his goal was to help people improve their life, and his biggest problem was people not doing the necessary work after coming to see him. So if someone spends a million dollars, they’re sure as hell going to do the work. He says it kept his success rate at 100%.Sounds crazy right?Now, I'm not suggesting you need to charge US$1 MILLION, but what favours are you doing people when you continue giving them access to "free" stuff.There is a time and place for free - building trust, authority, audience, branding, show people you are the real deal and know what you’re talking about.  Don't get me wrong, I give a lot of free stuff away - podcast, downloads, freebies etc etc…BUT, then there is a time to exchange value for RANDS or $$$$...If you are ready to start your own ONLINE BUSINESS, feel free to watch my free training:https://www.marenbarnard.com/workshopIf you are planning to turn your knowledge into an online business then you need Kajabi!To try out Kajabi FOR FREE for 30 DAYS click on my SPECIAL link below😃  ... otherwise you will only get 14 days ☹️https://www.MarenBarnard.com/kajabiTo register for my FREE LIVE training click the link below ⬇️⬇️⬇️FREE LIVE TRAININGThe LadyBoss Lounge Facebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1702273303369868/Show notes for this episode:https://www.marenbarnard.com/blog/077Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/marenbarnard/Follow me on FB:https://www.facebook.com/marenbarnard.ladyboss/If you’re looking to AUTOMATE & SCALE your online business then you may be interested in trying out Kajabi for free (sign up with the link below).

“Age is an attitude of the heart” (Brenda Hattingh, Founder True North Passion)In this week’s episode we draw from the fountain of wisdom in the form of 66yo Brenda Hattingh.Brenda is truly passionate about seeing women reach their full potential but so often has found that women self-sabotage themselves because of their state of mind.She says that limiting beliefs that have been passed on can unconsciously stop you from reaching your full potential but it all starts with WHO AM I?She truly believes that women have this dormant strength of untapped power waiting to be unleashed on the world.Brenda goes on to say that EVERY woman has a story to tell and that the online world provides a level playing field where everyone has a voice and where impossible dreams are now becoming a reality for many women.If you are ready to start your own ONLINE COURSE, then the doors to my course, THE LADYBOSS GUIDE TO COURSE CREATION are now open.

When I asked my audience of women if they wanted to start an online business, the overwhelming response was "YES! We want a business, we want to do something for ourselves!"Now, Why did all these women want their own online businesses?No surprises here. All of them wanted...the freedom, the choice, the security and the multiple income streams.And that is because you want to know that if you put the work in, you can get more choice, more freedom, more security and more income  - not just carry on doing what you are currently doing - which is probably working your butt off to make someone else wealthy.But the reality is that many women that tell me they want this lifestyle business - never do it!So, what is the disconnect?

Ever wondered why you always seem to be broke? Why as soon as success is lurking in the near distance, you just never seem to be able to grab it?Girl, it’s your Money Mindset! “My what?” I hear you asking.It’s your Money mindset. Your money mindset is your own unique set of values, beliefs and attitudes around money. It drives the decisions you make about earning, saving, spending and allocating money.Since we are all wired differently, our thoughts, actions, passions, fears and dreams are all different. Our reaction to the word “money” will also differ depending on a number of factors – background, age, environment, spouse, family upbringing. Money blocks are real. And at one point or another, most of us have experienced them. You might actually listen to this week’s podcast and as a result of learning about these blocks have an ah-ha moment and tell yourself, “This is why I'm broke!” It can be really hard to realise that it's a money block that's keeping you broke.Most people just assume that to stop being broke you need to change your financial habits but there's more to it than just that. That's why it's important to learn about these blocks and how they could be impacting you.In today’s episode of The LadyBoss Lounge Podcast we dive into this topic…so grab a cuppa or a glass of vino and let’s break these money blocks…PS. If you are ready to start changing your belief systems, to attract more abundance in your life and to rewire your brain for financial success, then check out our ebook, The LadyBoss Guide to Overcoming Your Money Blocks, to help you achieve the success you deserve.In this ebook we give you steps to follow and exercises to complete to help you identify your money blocks, step through them and start building a life of financial success that you deserve. To find out more just click on the link below https://marenbarnard.com/moneyblocks The LadyBoss Lounge Facebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1702273303369868/Show notes for this episode:https://www.marenbarnard.com/blog/069Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/marenbarnard/Follow me on FB:https://www.facebook.com/marenbarnard.ladyboss/If you’re looking to AUTOMATE & SCALE your online business then you may be interested in trying out Kajabi for free (sign up with the link below).

Is life passing you by? Are you sitting there thinking, life is actually passing me by. I don’t mean to sound depressing here, but are you starting to have regrets? Are you still worried about what other people think of you? Are you fearful of dying without leaving your legacy behind or without having the impact you’ve always known you should have? Do you feel lonely and insignificant right now?Are these types of thoughts a daily reflection of your reality right now?So, my LadyBoss friend, my question to you is this: Are you currently in the arena, do you want to join the arena or are you merely a spectator looking from the outside into this thing we call life?Are you watching from the sidelines wondering, WHAT IF?... IF ONLY? ...IT’S OK FOR HER. Hi, I’m Maren Barnard and today I want to invite you back into the arena...so come and join me in this week’s episode of The LadyBoss Lounge where I share with you all about jumping back into the arena. PS.

To be honest with you, it took me a very long time to really grasp and understand the power of what exactly that truly meant. But, once I did, things really started to take on a new meaning and direction in my own life, and especially in my own business life.Can these lessons help you in your own life? Are you getting held back without even realising it?Imagine having a mentor by your side, every day, that believes in you, that encourages you and that gives you the knowledge you need to become successful in life.In today’s episode of The LadyBoss Lounge Podcast I share 4 lessons I learnt from an incredible mentor, who has impacted lives around the world for decades.The LadyBoss Lounge Facebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1702273303369868/Show notes for this episode:https://www.marenbarnard.com/blog/065Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/marenbarnard/Follow me on FB:https://www.facebook.com/marenbarnard.ladyboss/If you’re looking to AUTOMATE & SCALE your online business then you may be interested in trying out Kajabi for free (sign up with the link below).

The question I am probably asked most often is, HOW do I turn my idea into an online business?That’s the easier part of a larger puzzle.From my experience, the real question should rather be, CAN I turn my idea into an online business?Can versus How?Subtle difference there, but it does have huge consequences in the lives of so many women.You see, YOU have a problem!For so long you have been living with the fact that someone, a very long time ago said to you, YOU CAN’T!You can’t be an actress, author or astronaut. And you believed them.You can’t be what you were really born to be. And you believed them.You can’t be successful. And you believed them.You can’t live a life of purpose and significance. And you believed them.Furthermore, you have been proving them right every, single day, since.True story and it’s tragic.In today’s episode of the LadyBoss Lounge Podcast I help you get clear on how to decide on an online business.The LadyBoss Lounge Facebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1702273303369868/Show notes for this episode:https://www.marenbarnard.com/blog/064Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/marenbarnard/Follow me on FB:https://www.facebook.com/marenbarnard.ladyboss/If you’re looking to AUTOMATE & SCALE your online business then you may be interested in trying out Kajabi for free (sign up with the link below).

We as women are making great strides in the business arena. Whether it’s in leadership positions, business ownership, innovation or collaborating to help other women reach even greater heights, the sky is the limit.I hope you truly believe this too.And, what I love most about the online world, is that we as women have a level playing field. To have success you no longer need special contacts, heaps of money, a certain education or come from a specific background. The online world accepts you just as you are, with all your imperfections. You are perfectly imperfect so come as you are. We will welcome you with open hearts and minds. The online world is waiting for you my LadyBoss friend.

Do you ever feel like you are stuck in a rut, bored of the same old routines and you are tired of watching other people enjoy enormous success?Deep inside you know you were meant for more, BUT, somehow, something, unknown to you keeps on holding you back!Something always prevents you from pulling the trigger, from getting the things that matter most, done.What is it that other people tap into with little effort, yet you always feel like you are walking in treacle:·  You can’t get your business off the ground·  Your social media posts have little or no engagement·  Nothing you have tried works·  It’s costing you money and you fail to implement anything you start·  You’ve resigned yourself to the fact that this “online thing” is meant for other people and not for youWell, it shouldn’t be this way.

Over the last year I’ve had some extremely talented women reach out to me for help to take their businesses online.Now most of them came to me with amazing “Zones of Geniuses” that they are eager to share with the world, but they are not sure how to do it.Some of them have a traditional brick and mortar business and realised they have to go online, but they are really stuck on how to move forward…Some of them have even tried to do this on their own but were just going round and round in circles, doing a bit of everything and not really getting anywhere.Do you want to know why they were struggling?It was because they didn’t have a clear goal or road map on what they wanted and where they were heading.You know they always say…if you don’t know where you’re going, any road will do…and seriously if you don’t have a plan and a road map on exactly what it is you want and even more importantly how you are going to get there…you are going to struggle.So, after working with them, providing structure and getting clear on exactly what it was that they wanted out of their business and out of their lives, they started achieving the same big outcome we all strive for……and that outcome is what I believe is the #1 reason behind why we all end up starting a business in the first place…And what might that be, you may ask?Well it’s called FREEDOM!Creating freedom is why you decided to get into business, right?To be able to live your life on your own terms…To be able to do what you love each and every day…To take back control of your FINANCESTo live your passion every day…To serve and help others…To be able to live wherever you want…To spend quality time with the people that really matter in your life….Because at the end of the day we only have this one life…we only have one go at it…so we might as well go for it and live full out!Now, I want you to know that your freedom…that life you are dreaming about all comes down to ONE NUMBER in your business…A number that you should be putting all your energy and focus on until you reach it!In this week’s episode of The LadyBoss Lounge podcast, I am sharing with you what this number is, AND I am going to show you how to reach it.So, get comfy, because you might get a bit uncomfortable during this episode – ha ha.PS. In this episode I talk about creating your first digital product…if you are ready to jump in and create your first digital product – an eBook - and want to peek over our shoulder on how to do it from beginning to end then head over to learn morehttp://www.marenbarnard.com/ebookThe LadyBoss Lounge Facebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1702273303369868/Show notes for this episode:https://www.marenbarnarIf you’re looking to AUTOMATE & SCALE your online business then you may be interested in trying out Kajabi for free (sign up with the link below).

Listen in on how I help Bev and Israel with some basic strategies on how they can turn their ideas into cash, online!I love teaching women the TOOLS that will allow them to take back FINANCIAL CONTROL of their lives. Monetising your hobby, passion or expertise in the online world can be a simple process and is one of the reasons why women come and join me in our community.The last 12 months have woken many women up to realise they have to take matters into their own hands if they are going to survive in this “new world” everyone is talking about. And what better way to do that than to take your hobby, passion or expertise and start monetising it, right?Absolutely! BUT, here’s the problem…They don’t know HOW to monetise online…and the questions that keep coming up are…“Can I even make money out of the thing I love doing?”“Will anyone buy from me?”“How will I sell it?”I totally get it…this “online thing” is a new world for so many people and it is so confusing and overwhelming. There’s webinars and zooms, funnels and marketing, email lists and niches…jargon you probably have never even heard of before…But here’s the good news…It doesn’t have to be complicated…you can start small and get fancy later!In today’s episode of The LadyBoss Lounge podcast, I did just that when coaching these two ladies, Bev and Israel, on how they can monetise their idea with a few simple strategies.These ladies are a part of my FREE Facebook Group,The LadyBoss Lounge Facebook Group, where I do weekly LIVE “Ask me Anything” calls.If you would like to “Ask me Anything” or get some FREE advice and value on starting and running your online business, then come and join us…be a part of the community…and take your business idea to the next level.Just click the link below to join.The LadyBoss Lounge Facebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1702273303369868/Show notes for this episode:https://www.marenbarnard.com/blog/058Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/marenbarnard/Follow me on FB:https://www.facebook.com/marenbarnard.ladyboss/ If you’re looking to AUTOMATE & SCALE your online business then you may be interested in trying out Kajabi for free (sign up with the link below).

Do you live with a perfectionist? Do you know one?I live with a perfectionist every day, my dear husband, Stephen, and let me tell you, it can be exhausting!Even he often jokes and says, “Try being me, it’s tiring...I sometimes even exhaust myself”.Looking from the outside in, I see someone who never reaches “their” destination. Someone that is restless and always searching. As soon as they hit a target or goal, they move the goalposts again. They want to achieve more - going faster, longer, harder with apparently no end in sight.In psychology, perfectionism is a personality trait characterised by:“a person's striving for flawlessness and setting excessively high performance standards, accompanied by overly critical self-evaluations and concerns regarding others' evaluations.” To a perfectionist, anything that's less than perfect is unacceptable.Now, I have seen many women get stuck in the “get ready to get ready” mode, because they want everything to be perfect before they get started.“I’m just waiting for my website to be ready”“The colours or fonts on my website are not quite right”“I need professional photos done”“I don’t have a logo yet. I won’t look professional”Do any of these statements ring true for you?Then you are going to love this week’s episode. I have invited my hubby, Stephen, to join me and we had a very candid (and funny) chat about his perfectionism…the positives and negatives in our life and our business.I hope you enjoy this episode as much as we loved recording it for you! The LadyBoss Lounge Facebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1702273303369868/Show notes for this episode:https://www.marenbarnard.com.blog/057Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/marenbarnard/Follow me on FB:https://www.facebook.com/marenbarnard.ladyboss/ If you’re looking to AUTOMATE & SCALE your online business then you may be interested in trying out Kajabi for free (sign up with the link below).

Your business needs a website that works for YOU!Working for you means having a sales funnel that directs customers to your website. Working for you means INCREASING SALES. Working for you  means having an endless stream of customers knocking down your door looking for your offerings. Working for you means a thriving business with less stress for you. So, do you need a website for your business?It’s pretty safe to say that for most businesses today, a website is a must -  it’s not just about what it does for you, it’s about what it does for your customers.A website not only provides a professional touch but a personal one where customers can get to know you on a more intimate level, PROVIDED your MESSAGING is right.From a risk aversion perspective, we have seen many instances where a business’s social media page has been taken down for no apparent reason.I am a firm believer that when you first start out with your online business you DO NOT need a website straight away. There are many ways that you can optimise Social media to make sure you have an online presence… However, in the long run…it will be very difficult to sustain your business without a website. So, what’s the real importance of a website? Who needs one, and why?What do they really do and provide?In today’s episode we are going to take a look at the reasons why a website is so important for your business..So let’s dive into it…The LadyBoss Lounge Facebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1702273303369868/Show notes for this episode:https://www.marenbarnard.com/blog/055Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/marenbarnard/Follow me on FB:https://www.facebook.com/marenbarnard.ladyboss/If you’re looking to AUTOMATE & SCALE your online business then you may be interested in trying out Kajabi for free (sign up with the link below).

Are you sitting there wondering where your next sale is coming from? How is it possible to have a website, Facebook page, Instagram account and yet, I don’t have any customers? What’s wrong with me, I hear you say.I am good. My product is good. Everyone needs it. (Really?) Most people get so many things right, BUT they don’t have a plan. “IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING, ANY ROAD WILL DO”Everyone needs a plan and especially a MARKETING PLAN. Do you have one?Having a strategic marketing plan often results in growth for your business. Part of your plan involves educating your potential customers, keeping them engaged, creating a strong brand reputation in their minds and smartly selling to them.On top of that, most businesses thrive on the acquisition of new customers and then retaining them, preferably for life. Marketing is how you attract those customers in the first place.In today’s episode we are going to look at my ONE PAGE MARKETING PLAN for your business…So grab a pen and paper because you are definitely going to want to take some notes….The LadyBoss Lounge Facebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1702273303369868/Show notes for this episode:https://www.marenbarnard.com/blog/054Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/marenbarnard/Follow me on FB:https://www.facebook.com/marenbarnard.ladyboss/If you’re looking to AUTOMATE & SCALE your online business then you may be interested in trying out Kajabi for free (sign up with the link below).

While 2020 has brought so much stress and uncertainty to many families, it is so easy to forget that our children are also affected by everything that’s going on.

So even though 2020 came with a lot of challenges, it also came with a lot of opportunities. Opportunities are everywhere around us, we just need to keep our eyes and ears open to what’s going on around us…"But how do we find these opportunities", you might ask?Well, you need to find out what people are having a problem with and then purely offer a solution to that problem…and that’s exactly what I did in 2020.After arriving here in South Africa in late March, lockdown happened a week later, and we all know the devastating effect that has had on the economy of the country. People couldn’t go to work, some people’s salaries were cut, people with small businesses couldn’t open and subsequently couldn’t earn money and so on and so on…I was watching how restaurants, airbnb’s, beauty salons, real estate agents and so many more people from different industries were struggling financially because of this lockdown…while all along my own online business was not only surviving but actually growing.And that’s when I got this idea…I realised I had the knowledge that could help so many people that’s going through this difficult time to take their businesses and go online…and before I knew it, I was putting together a course that teaches women in South Africa to take their businesses online - whether they had an existing business or just an idea of something, or even a hobby they love doing they would like to turn into an online business…And that’s how my “Kickstart Your Online Business” program was born.I learnt so much about launching a new “product” in a country where almost no one knows me, but I am excited for all the possibilities it is going to offer not only myself but the hundreds of women I am planning on helping in 2021.So in this episode I share with you some of the lessons I’ve learnt starting a new business in 2020…PS.

As a woman we play so many roles every day…mother, wife, taxi driver, chef, business owner, we just never seem to have enough hours in the day to do it all.We start with such good intentions, plan out our day the night before and then…it’s like the whole world is conspiring against us to make sure we don’t get things done!That was me for so long until I realised, I could continue to make all the excuses in the book, but unless I get some order into my life I will never be able to run a successful business AND continue to be a present mom and wife.So, what’s my secret, you may ask?One little word called...SELF-DISCIPLINE!Let’s be honest. For most of us, it’s a work in progress wrapped in good intentions, procrastination, and feelings of failure. But it doesn’t have to be. Self-discipline, like everything else, is a practice.
