If you've been thinking "I should probably hire an agency" every time your marketing feels overwhelming, this episode might save you tens of thousands of dollars—and give you back your confidence.

The truth is, most small businesses don't actually need an agency, at least not yet. What they need is a clear plan, solid systems, and the willingness to show up consistently. The difference between businesses that succeed with DIY marketing and those that struggle isn't budget or professional design—it's strategic thinking and persistence.

In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly when agencies make sense (and when they're a waste of money), plus giving you the framework to build your own effective marketing system without the hefty price tag.

The best marketing isn't always the most expensive—it's the most strategic and consistent. This episode shows you how to build both.

If you're getting likes and comments on your posts but zero inquiries about your services, this episode will show you exactly what's missing.

The gap between content and sales is where most business owners get stuck. They create valuable posts, people engage, but somehow it never translates into actual business. The problem? They're treating content creation and sales as completely separate activities instead of building strategic bridges between them.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact system for turning your content into sales conversations—from creating content that identifies problems without solving everything, to building conversation starters directly into your posts, to making it ridiculously easy for the right people to reach out.

Remember: likes don't pay the bills—conversations do. This episode shows you how to turn your content into the conversation-starting machine it should be.

If you've been blaming Instagram or Facebook for your lack of clients, this episode is going to be uncomfortable—but necessary.

The truth is, if your posts aren't converting followers into paying clients, it's probably not the algorithm's fault. It's something much more fixable, but it requires honest reflection about what you're actually posting.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the 8 real reasons your content isn't generating sales conversations—from posts that are all about you instead of your audience's problems, to never actually asking for the sale, to having a profile that doesn't support your content.

This episode delivers the tough love you need to stop blaming external factors and start creating content that genuinely attracts clients.

If you've ever wondered whether you should be running Facebook ads or Google ads for your business, or tried running ads and watched your money disappear faster than a Tim Tam at morning tea, this episode is going to save you a lot of heartache and money.

Everyone feels like they should be running ads—you see other businesses posting screenshots of their amazing results, and it feels like you're missing out on this magical money-making machine. But here's the truth: ads aren't a magic bullet, and jumping into them too early can actually hurt your business more than help it.

I'm breaking down exactly when you should start running ads, what you need to have in place before you spend a single dollar, and how to know if you're ready to make advertising work for your business.

This episode will either give you the confidence to start advertising strategically, or save you thousands by helping you realise you're not ready yet.

If you've ever felt like you're constantly creating content but not seeing results, or found yourself posting on five different platforms every day wondering why you're not getting more customers, this episode is going to feel like a warm hug.

Marketing burnout is real, and it's everywhere—but nobody talks about it because we think it means we're not cut out for business. The truth is, the businesses that make marketing look effortless aren't doing more—they're doing less, but doing it better.

In this episode, I'm diving deep into why the "more is better" mentality is actually killing your business results, how to recognise when you're caught in the marketing hamster wheel, and most importantly, how to get off it without sacrificing your growth.

This episode will give you permission to do less while showing you exactly how to make that "less" way more effective.

If you've ever created an online course and wondered why people aren't buying it, or launched to crickets despite having a decent following, this episode will save you months of frustration and probably thousands of dollars.

Most course creators fail not because their content isn't good enough, but because they get the marketing fundamentally wrong from day one. In this episode, I'm breaking down the 10 most common marketing mistakes I see course creators make—from the obvious ones that torpedo sales to the subtle ones that sabotage long-term success.

We'll cover everything from why you should sell your course before you create it, to the pricing mistake that's costing you sales, to why treating courses as "passive income" is actually killing your business growth.

Whether you're planning your first course or struggling to get consistent sales from an existing one, this episode will help you identify what might be holding you back and give you a clear roadmap for fixing it.

Running a business in a small town comes with its own set of unique challenges—and incredible opportunities. From the “fishbowl effect” where everyone knows your every move, to the limited customer base and resources, small town business life is real and raw. But it also comes with hidden advantages most city businesses would envy: deeper relationships, less competition, and word-of-mouth that spreads like wildfire.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to grow in a small town. You’ll learn practical marketing strategies tailored for smaller communities, how to leverage local connections, and when it makes sense to expand beyond your own backyard. If you’ve ever felt like your town is too small for your dreams, this conversation will show you the powerful advantages right at your fingertips.

If you’ve ever tried to follow someone else’s “proven” marketing formula only to feel like it just doesn’t fit your business, you’re not alone. The truth is—marketing isn’t one-size-fits-all. What works for one business may completely flop for another, and that’s okay.

In this episode, I’ll show you how to cut through the noise, tune into your strengths, and create a marketing approach that actually feels aligned and gets results. You’ll discover how to identify what works for your business, when to ditch strategies that aren’t serving you, and how to build a plan that’s sustainable long-term.

If you’re tired of trying to force yourself into someone else’s box, this conversation will help you find your way forward—with clarity and confidence.
