Hello friends on Facebook, I've got news!

I'm calling for founding members for my new online course, Simplify Your Systems.

Systems are deeply misunderstood by many business owners, entrepreneurs and self-employed individuals.

I had 20+ calls and conversations in the last month with business owners who proved to me that there is A LOT of work to be done in helping others run their businesses better.

And most of the solutions they need to tackle their frustrations and overwhelm in business stem from not having suitable systems in place for THEIR business or not having systems in general.

- Way too much work is being done repeatedly and manually with no automations or processes in place.
- Way too many business owners are doing every single thing themselves.
- Way too many people think that systems are digital tools.
And...
- Way too many business owners overthink their systems.

I'm calling for 9 more businesses to be Founding Members for my course, Simplify Your Systems.

Being a Founding Member means you get the course @ 50% discount, all the bonuses when the course goes live and you get to help with the direction of the course with your insight.

The course will live launch in February and am running a Founding Members discounted price for $499 USD until next Friday the 16th.

Until the course is live, I'll be in regular contact with you to get insight into the course structure - delivered in a weekly email that will take less than 3 minutes to answer.

➡️ I've created a detailed guide (sneak peek in the video) that captures as much info as I can on the course and what a Founding Member receives.

If you're a business that'd like to take work off your plate next year, focus on the projects that light you up and build your abilities to prioritize the right work within the timeframes you have, this course is screaming your name.

⬇️ You can browse the program guide and all the info in the link in the comments or feel free to message me with questions. ⬇️

As for now, I'm declaring 2023 the Year of Systems.

FREE 2-PART MASTERCLASS SERIES!

I’m excited to announce our free 2-part masterclass series starting on November 18TH.

Part 1 we’ll walk through overcoming busyness with boundaries.

Part 2 we’ll walk through how to make $$ during a pandemic (and still be a good human.)

Most of our conversations lately have been tied to either busyness or some sort of guilt.

We’re tackling big subjects over 90-minutes in each session.

If boundaries (or lack of having them) are something you’ve been struggling with, I encourage you to join Jane and I on November 18TH.

When you register, you get access to both masterclasses.

Feel free to share this info with anyone you think would enjoy the sessions!

I remember this moment like it was yesterday.

Celebrating taking the plunge with my own business 2 years ago today.

What a whirlwind.

Whoever said entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone was so right.

But I love it. It’s not an easy road and I thrive on challenges.

My biggest lesson I’ve learnt is how I speak to myself.

When I say I can’t, I don’t.

When I say I can, I do.

Be nice to yourself, set really solid boundaries and make it a habit to regularly check-in with yourself to make sure you’re aligned with what you’re doing.

I’ve learnt so damn much in two years and it feels great!

What are you celebrating this week?

Money is a big topic in our business.

We knew that creating a safe space online for women to be brave in business needed to have regular conversations around money.

Women don't talk openly enough about it. And once we did open that conversation up, we found that many realise that their own thoughts, emotions and ideas about money aren't their own.

They are what they grew up with or someone else's idea of what money is. Rarely did we see someone take the time to have a money chat with themselves and ask 'what do I believe about money and why?'

And negative money conversations and examples have led to present-day anxiety around the topic.

Jane and I are hellbent on changing the narrative around money. We ran this workshop about 6 months ago and have over 150 people sign up for it. And we've decided to do it again.

We've reimagined and revamped it. Show me the Money Mindset is a free workshop for those who want to have a better relationship with money, who want to reignite their love of their business and realign their work with their goals to finish the year on fire.

I'll be blunt; we're not fu***ng around. This is an incredible workshop and so many had huge 'ah-ha!' moments in the first round. We're excited to light the fire and start the conversation once more.

Join us on September 28th @ 10:30am NZT.

Sign up details are in the comments below!

The year isn't over.

You have plenty of time to start your new project, revamp an old one or create a campaign to help increase sales of the current one. You have plenty of time to join a course, programme or hire support.

Not enough time is a s**tty excuse and I really wish we'd let it go by now. Because the reality is you're always going to be busy with life. It no longer holds up.

If you keep putting something off, just ask yourself, 'do I want to prioritise this right now?' and if the answer is no, drop it. Don't keep it on your lengthy to-do list or in the back of your mind.

That s**t weighs a lot. And pretty soon, all those projects or programmes you want to join start to take up real estate in your head, reminding you of all the things you're not doing right now.

When, in fact, I bet you're doing some pretty amazing things. I bet you're still making progress.

Let go of the 'not the right time' fight. Either prioritise it, put in a calendar reminder for a few months time to review, or let that s**t go.

No more hanging out in the in-between.

If you have 15 minutes today, I highly recommend watching this TED talk with Adam Grant about languishing.

A lot of us have felt 'meh' lately and he explains it so well. Plus he gives a big shout out to small wins so of course, I'm going to share 😎

Have you found yourself staying up late, joylessly bingeing TV shows and doomscrolling through the news, or simply navigating your day uninspired and aimless? Chances are you're languishing, says organizational psychologist Adam Grant -- a psychic malaise that has become all too common after many mo...

Here's my truth:

👉 For the longest time I stood in my own way, hindering my own success.

And by success, I mean being able to live the life I want, where I want, doing what I want.

✅ Freedom is the ultimate success marker for me.

But what I was doing vs. what I wanted couldn’t be further from each other.

👉 I stayed in my head, A LOT. Any time I went to talk about my new offers or new direction of this business, I found I was shortchanging myself and my experience.

I was nervous to take the leap, to finally move into my next chapter. I was teetering on the ‘what I’m good at and what I want to do’ fence line.

I allowed the silence to take up space where my voice used to be.

And it has been painful and I’ve kept myself down and out.

There is ALWAYS an initial hesitation when you launch something new. It doesn’t mean you don’t follow through, it just means there’s a moment where you allow a little bit of doubt finds its way in.

The only thing I've come here to say to you is this:

🌈 Doubt happens.
🌈 We all hesitate.
🌈 We have the right to show up however we want in our business.
🌈 We can do hard things. (Glennon Doyle would be proud of that one!)

AND...

❤️ We have to get out of our own way. Our biggest dreams and goals will never be achieved if we keep ourselves from doing the work to get there.

I'm excited to share my new offers on the feed this week. I'm taking my own advice and getting out of my own way 😊

🙋🏻‍♀️ Need accountability or a pep talk? Let me know what's on your mind below 👇

08/09/2021

What do you think are the two biggest elements of a business that are overlooked the most?

Here's mine:

1. Clarity and transparency on what they offer and to whom
2. Understanding goal-setting + its relationship to the work that needs to be done

I've worked with businesses across the spectrum from beginners to 15+ years in. Unclear offers still exist within businesses that have been around the block.

So does under-utilising goals to strategically drive the work being done in a business.

There's nothing better than being crystal clear on what you can provide and the work needed to achieve your goals.

Interested in hearing your thoughts 👇 on what you see is regularly overlooked by businesses!

I've got news!

Last week I shared that I have become a Certified Pro with and now I wanted to make it official.

What does a Certified Pro mean? ⤵️

It means that I have taken the time to learn more about how Asana can help my clients build better organisation and project management into their work structure.

It means that I am upskilling with a tool that I have used for 5+ years to help my clients create a streamlined work environment for themselves and whoever they work with; a team, contractors, clients, collaborators, you name it.

It means that I have the ability to host Asana workshops and events, and be one of the very few doing them in New Zealand.

It means that I get to impact others with better project management, saving and creating them both time and money.

What about the other project management tools? Honestly, I love them all, but I'm focusing my work with Asana for the time being. Trust me, they have an incredible toolkit available for both the free and paid versions.

Through my Business Mapping Intensives, I've been able to help my clients:

✅ Map out entire projects with recurring workflows, templates and structure that works for THEM

✅ Create step-by-step projects that confidently build their project management skills and knowledge, getting them to step away from the paper to-do lists and digitise their work

✅ Streamline the eff out of their schedule and prepare customised roadmaps to get the right work done and when to do said work

If you're interested in working with me this year, my Business Mapping Sessions are the only full service I will be doing for the remainder of the year.

♥️ Getting you organised and out from under your to-do list, out of your scattered brain and into streamlined projects is my dream job. I am a HUGE NERD. You should know this by now 🤣

Come say hi in my DMs and chat about how we can get you back on track with your work.

🚨P.S. I have only 2 spots available in September for now.

‎Business · 2020

08/07/2021

Tuesday was my birthday and I was reminded of the power of showing up.

People come out of the woodwork to say happy birthday to you. And usually comment on something you’ve been doing.

”Love watching your business grow” or “looks like you’re doing great with x,y,z.”

This is a great reminder that your people are watching and listening.

So those days that you’re annoyed with engagements rates and metrics, remember that people are there, watching and listening.

You’re never talking to an audience of zero no matter how much it looks like it.

Keep going, keep talking and keep sharing!

Speaking of sharing, we have a beaut of an online workshop happening on Wednesday all about creating a healthier relationship with your business - including everyone’s fave…SELLING! 😆

Selling did not come easy to me as a business owner.

As an employee? It was so easy because I knew what benefits and features and results worked for specific audiences. It was easy for me to have conversations and then recommend the best solution for those customers.

But when I first came into the business world on my own, the very thought of selling ME and MY business made my stomach ache.

I was terrified of rejection, scared of offending anyone with my prices (ha!) and didn’t have enough self confidence to go to bat for myself.

What changed over the years? A LOT.

➡️ I asked for feedback.
➡️ I invested in learning how to story tell.
➡️ I separated myself (as Jen the person) from my business and learned from practice and the no’s that showing up is 90% of the battle.

🎉 I also learned that selling is a service.

And that the impact of my services for others creates momentum, freedom, clarity and direction for them to confidently move forward with their projects.

I was helping people build their business.

And that reframe of selling made a HUGE difference in how I showed up for my business and my audience.

My excitement and passion was outrageously visible in my messaging and Instagram Stories.

I felt confident pitching work to bigger businesses, I talked about my offers more and more with conviction, and I built incredible boundaries around what I would do and wouldn’t do for work.

Selling effects more than just
your bottom line. It affects your confidence, your content, your programmes, your audience, your self worth, and your productivity.

And that’s why Jane and I have made money such an integral pillar of conversation in our business Jen and Jane's Excellent Adventure. We have to do this work and we have to talk about why selling is so damn hard.

We’ve created an epic workshop for anyone who’d like to join the selling conversation and wants to create a healthy relationship with selling as a service.

👏👏👏 Tickets are only $37 for this 90-minute, part training, part group coaching workshop on July 14th.

Feel free to share this with your community and anyone who’d like to stop feeling ‘ick’ about selling!

Plus, we’re just stoked to finally find a good excuse to use the word bitchin’ in our work 😎

🔥 NEW OFFER ALERT! 🔥

It's been over 6 months since I've put out any new services for The Small Wins. I'm so excited to introduce my Business Mapping Sessions!

➡️ After 7+ years working with businesses in social media, I realised that there was a very similar problem each of them had...

➡️ While they were undertaking social media as a new arm of their business, they were quick to realise that the structure of their business couldn't hold the weight of social media.

➡️ They lacked strong systems, processes and foundation to add social media as an effective channel to their business.

So most of my work ended up shining a light on the systems and organisational structure needed to consistently and effectively use social media to grow their business.

🔥 And this is where I've decided to hang out - in the structure and systems trenches!

🔥Starting with my new service, these 2-hr Business Mapping Sessions will cover one of three areas:

1️⃣ Strategy
2️⃣ Systems
3️⃣ Structure

We focus on one area, build an action plan and map out a full-blown roadmap so you can get to work.

✅ These are two hours of intensive work and zero fluff. I know we're all time-poor, yet we want to successfully move our businesses forward.

That's why I've created these sessions this way - I want you to get to work!

If you're looking for examples of how you can use these sessions, check out the graphics below, I give quite a few situations in which you can use them.

I'm looking to work with ⤵️

• owner/operators who are doing it all and struggling to manage all their tasks
• small businesses who want to learn better project management frameworks and streamline their time/work
• Owners/managers who are stuck in manual mode and ready to learn how to automate, delegate and outsource
• And those who KNOW they need better systems and organisation but don't know where. to start AND keep it up

💥I have 3 spots available for the 2nd half of July at the entry rate of $700 + GST (payment plan available.)

Feel free to message me for more info and see if this is right for your business 🤩

Please note: these prices are only valid for July 2021.

Last week Jane and I celebrated hitting $100k+ in sales at 8 months in our business Jen and Jane's Excellent Adventure.

➡ Almost immediately, we were messaged asking us 'what's our secret sauce?' 'How did you do it?'

➡ We were also met with women admitting that seeing that number made them feel queazy, icky and uncomfortable.

➡ And that's absolutely normal. When we don't understand our own relationship with money (and sit for a moment and ask ourselves, wait, why do I feel bad about other women making money?') it's natural for us to want to attack what we see.

💥 But here's the catch; women need to speak about money more. We need to normalize having conversations about money.

💥 We need to ask more questions and build better boundaries around how we spend and receive money.

💥 We need to raise our effing prices and work on realigning our money story and mindset daily.

And yet, we see women talking themselves out of starting their own business, investing in programmes and putting themselves first in fear of never making that money back.

There's so much more to money than money itself.

• Learning the framework to confidently raise your prices or ask for a raise opens up an incredible amount of opportunities, allows you to work on what you love (rather than have 15 services) and spend time the way you want to.

• Money also creates more opportunities for freedom of choice. Not throwing your boundaries out the window and working on s**t projects with s**t pay because you're worried no work will ever come around again.

• Giving people discounts because you're scared they'll say no to your normal prices.

And so on. We dig deep into these important areas of life/business in Your Excellent Adventure.

If you've been wanting to realign yourself with your work, up your prices, ask for a raise, market your skills, build a community and do work that makes you feel impactful, we encourage you to come have a chat with us.

This 4-month group coaching programme starts April 27th. Doors close Friday.

Do you know how much experience you have?

I find a lot of us shovel most of our hard-earned experience under the covers and don't realise how much we can bring to the table.

Particularly working with women, I've seen managing directors sell themselves short, being too scared to list their skills and accomplishments in fear of being seen as a bragger.

I've seen women dismiss DECADES of experience because it's not the main focus of her work right now.

And I hear this all the time, "I don't have that much experience in..." as an excuse to raising their prices or asking for a raise.

I'd like to kindly remind anyone who has felt this way before: Your experience DOES NOT dissolve just because you go from being an employee or contractor to a business owner.

In fact, you now get to use your toolbox of skills to build a business that aligns with the life you want to live.

Don't downplay the skills you've built over the years. You deserve to acknowledge how much you've grown to get you to this point in your journey.

If you're looking at options for the next step in your career or want to take the leap into your own business journey, Jane and I are in the last week of our launch for our new group coaching programme; Your Excellent Adventure with our new business Jen and Jane's Excellent Adventure!

🔥 Are you feeling the hot and cold of social media? ❄️

👉 One week you're onto it, getting really good engagement and posting consistently, and the next week you haven't posted at all and feel guilty for not showing up. Then getting upset that you're not growing or seeing any results from your content?

💫 You're not alone in this. A lot of businesses sprout up on social media thinking that if they post a lot, the sales will come flying in.

I wish it were the case! And then when you don't see the results you were hoping for, do you give up for a bit?

➡️If so, I encourage you to check out my 3-course bundle.

I break down three areas of content that is important to achieve sustainable results on social media:

✅ 1st course: crafting a strategy that directs your content towards the right people online. No more second-guessing your posts or why you're on social media.

✅ 2nd course: content management - you'll create a content planning system that fits within the hours you have to work on content and STILL produce consistent, on-brand content that helps build your brand's visibility online.

✅ 3rd course: social media graphics - you'll learn how to create on-brand graphics (like this post!) for your business.

So there you have it; the three biggest areas of social media I see businesses and clients dismiss when they show up online.

❌ No strategy
❌ No content plan or process
❌ No on-brand graphics to set them apart

My 3-course bundle guides you through each of these areas with easy-to-follow lessons, templates, worksheets, and quizzes to help you retain all the knowledge I share.

Plus, you get LIFETIME ACCESS - meaning you can learn at your own pace, whenever you want.

Do you believe that more followers mean more sales?

While in theory, this should be right. More people with eyes on your offers, more sales.

But what we don't account for in this idea is messaging, strategy and sales.

A larger following means nothing if you can't speak to them with your messaging.

A larger following means nothing if you're not using your channels strategically to achieve your goals.

A larger following means nothing if you can't convert them into sales.

There's more to the equation than just having more followers.

One step to help you build a better following includes crafting a social media strategy.

A strategy helps guide your content, directing it to your target audience who is looking for your product/service.

Without a strategy, you're not benchmarking your work. You're not posting with intention of achieving specific goals.

➡️ If you want help with writing and crafting your own social media strategy (aka ready to target the right people with the right messages and set some juicy goals for your content), my 3-course bundle goes on sale on Wednesday.

For $495 + gst you get lifetime access to three courses teaching you:

- How to create a social media strategy
- How to create a content planning system
- How to create social media graphics with Canva

As a bonus, those who purchase the bundle go in to win 1 of 5 gifts! (from project planners to journals to books!)

Happy to answer any questions for ya! Just message me :)
