Plan For Your 7 Figure Business

December 1, 2023 • 25 MIN

Your business' purpose should be to generate enough income to support your desired lifestyle. In this episode of Influence by Design, Samantha talks to Tim about the importance of calculating your actual lifestyle costs and then determining the revenue you need from your business, rather than going around and chasing vague targets. “A million dollars” has become a go-to goal for most entrepreneurs wanting to grow their business by increasing revenue. However, very few successfully hit the $1M mark — in fact, only 4.4% of businesses do —because most set it as an indeterminate target without making an effort to ground it in their actual lifestyle costs and desired business model. Sam and Tim discuss the value of making tiny, 1% improvements, which can be achieved by simply ticking off 3 tasks every day. If done consistently, these actions compound over time, and you’ll soon find yourself well on your way to hitting your targets (perhaps even exceeding them). Tune in as Samantha and Tim explore the benefits of knowing your desired lifestyle costs, becoming aware of the requisite profit margins for the realization of this goal, and setting tangible, realistic targets. The insights you’ll gain will guide you as you enhance and model your business so it fits and supports the lifestyle you desire.

May 29, 2023 • 46 MIN

What if you’re doing all the right things to increase brand visibility and yet you’re still the worlds best kept secret, you're not expanding your network, and you’re not reaching your ideal prospects? Although some people may argue that this is a case of under-representation, this could be due to visibility bias.

She uses an interesting method of incorporating science and emotions to better position a brand’s visibility. It may seem normal for “visibility nerds” or those who know exactly what to do to increase brand visibility to get overlooked despite employing strategies that can get them noticed. The reason behind this is that society has been conditioned to under-recognise certain kinds of people and experiences. Chloé shares The Four Phases of Visibility so you know what you can do for where you’re currently at, which is crucial to getting noticed. In each stage, she recommends systems and strategies that can effectively counter visibility bias and broaden your sphere of influence.

Corporate Consulting: Tips for Bringing the Woo into the Workplace with Dr. Robyn McKay

May 8, 2023 • 42 MIN

The phrase ‘woo-woo’ is often used to describe concepts such as spirituality, intuition, and energy work, and is considered taboo in many corporate cultures.

It's Not About The Money (But It Really Is)

May 4, 2023 • 23 MIN

We often hear people say, “It’s not about the money”. But in reality, money is a key factor in life and business. Without money, it’s unlikely a business will survive, and you won’t have the freedom to live the life you dream of. In this episode of the Influence by Design podcast, Samantha and Tim debunk a common misconception of business owners - it’s not about the money. Having money corresponds to having freedom and access to better opportunities. Business owners can design the lifestyle they want, decide on their working hours, and choose the clients they want to work with when their income supports them. Money opens up your world to better experiences that you can share with the people you love. It’s only a matter of putting meaning behind what it can do for you and your business.

Get Rich Without Being A Bitch with Vanessa Shaw

September 2, 2022 • 44 MIN

Ambition is the fuel and energy needed to achieve what’s important to us. However, women get judged when they’re ambitious and this nurtures a need to justify things. In this episode, we’ll dive deep into how to get rich without being a bitch with Vanessa Shaw. Vanessa is a Business Success Coach who has a passion to mentor entrepreneurs as they shatter barriers and dare to play at a bigger level. She is also on a mission to empower women financially. Our society dictates that it’s not okay for women to be ambitious, especially in the financial aspect. We’re not taught how to talk about money, how to better handle it, and become more confident having conversations about it. To become financially empowered, women need to own this ambition and deal with the shame of having uncomfortable conversations around money. We need to understand that getting rich is a topic that should be normalized without putting women at a disadvantage. If you fancy getting rich and stepping into financial empowerment, this episode will give you value bombs that can help every step of the way, let’s dive in!
