364 - Digital Nomad Mark Phillips lives in a tent and runs a six-figure business

Mark Phillips infuriates me. He calls himself a digital nomad, running six-figure business (cheekily called Business In Barefeet) as he and his wife Linda, travel the world. He has no fixed address, lives in a tent and stays in one place no longer than a week or so. He did this interview from his ‘office’, which involved sitting on the beach overlooking the Great Barrier Reef. Some of you would say they’re livin’ the la vita loca .. others of you probably couldn’t think of anything worse. Either way, join me as we find out why and how to become a digital nomad! Listen in as we discuss: Why they did it? What it’s like to run a serious business literally from a beach or the side of the road! How they work hard at building trust How much the world has changed in order for such a nomadic lifestyle to be successful And so much more Here’s what caught my attention from chatting with Mark Phillips of Business In Barefeet: “If your environment isn’t working for you, then find a new environment.” Now that doesn't mean you have to hit the road like Mark and his wife have … but at least think about where else you can do business. For me, I have certain places that I go when I want to be creative, and other places where I go if I just need to get shit done. More businesses need to embrace new ways of communicating with their clients. If you’re not at the very least familiar with Whatsapp, Voxer, Skype (to name a few) then you’re behind the 8-ball. It doesn’t mean you have to use them all, but at least make an informed decision not to use them! Always be on the lookout for ways to build trust with your clients. Mark and his wife have to work particularly hard at this given they have no fixed address, but as a business owner it’s good practice for you to constantly ask yourself what can you be doing to build more trust.   But the marketing gold doesn’t stop there, in this episode you’ll also discover: How to create awesome infographics How to create free webpages thanks to Google A past episode in which I chat with one of my most inspiring guests yet   Links & Resources mentioned: Mark’s website - Business In Barefeet Mark on Twitter Mark on Facebook How to create awesome infographics How to create free webpages thanks to Google Interview with Glenn Azar from The Adventure Professionals   Please support these businesses who make this show possible: Dale Beaumont’s 52 Ways – An amazing free 1-day live event for business owners where you’ll discover 52 ways to boost your business profits.

363 - How to build an empire by identifying a gap in the market with Kate Morris of Adore Beauty

Kate Morris was selling make-up at the Clarins counter in a large department store. It was there she identified a rather large gap in the market. She filled that gap with a business called Adore Beauty - laying the foundation for Australia’s largest online retailer of beauty products.   We cover a lot of ground as Kate explains: How she’s built this empire Why she sold part of it to Australia’s biggest supermarket brand, then bought it back again Why opening a bricks and mortar store was the wrong move Why ensuring the Adore Beauty brand doesn’t shine to bright   Here’s what caught my attention from chatting with Kate Morris of Adore Beauty: What do we want to be in the lives of our customers? This is a great question to ask as you plan your marketing strategy. Have the courage to fail. I hear this time and time again from successful business owners. The failures are where the lessons live. Just fail quickly and move on! Having a full time blogger on staff. Great writers don’t come cheaply, so this idea is of course for businesses over a certain. That said, at least have a writer you can call on when a brochure or blog or sales letter needs to be written.   But the marketing gold doesn’t stop there, in this episode you’ll also discover: Resident techspert Dale Beaumont from 52 Ways shares another productivity tool to make your business life a whole lot easier. I share another low cost marketing idea that’ll have your staff jumping out of their pants! And we go back into the vault, revisiting a chat I had with Gold Medal Olympian Steven Bradbury.   Links & Resources mentioned: Adore Beauty website Interview with Scott Kilmartin of Grace the Vintage Ice Cream Truck fame Productivity tool - DialPad How to keep your employees happy   Please support these businesses who make this show possible: Dale Beaumont’s 52 Ways – An amazing free 1-day live event for business owners where you’ll discover 52 ways to boost your business profits.

362- How Barefoot Cinema’s first year was a huge success with founder Julian Grant

I love a new idea that’s right for it’s time. I love it even more if it involves food, beer and movies. And I especially love it when it’s just down the road from my holiday house. Today’s successful business owner ticks every one of those boxes. Julian Grant is the Founder of Barefoot Cinemas, a new outdoor-cinema concept that launched over Summer in Victoria. In fact, it launched down the road from my holiday house in a seaside village called Portsea. So I’m a little bit biased, as I absolutely love Julian’s business idea, as it brought a whole new level of fun to the area. Barefoot Cinema is an outdoor cinema concept set in a national park, on a cliff top overlooking a beautiful beach and Port Phillip Bay. There’s food trucks, a bar, fairy lights dangling from all the trees, live music ...oh, and there’s also a large cinema-sized screen and sound system. Being there is like being on the set of a Jack Johnson video. What I also love about the Barefoot Cinema concept is that by day Julian is a young, whipper-snapper solicitor, so this is a side hustle. One which (given the success he had in year one) may well become his full time focus very quickly as he starts a national expansion.   My Top 3 Attention Grabbers From My Chat With Barefoot Cinema’s Julian Grant: Brand clarity. I love how Julian could so easily articulate exactly what the Barefoot Cinema brand stands for. If you can’t do that for your business, then I strongly suggest you do. Need some help, join the Small Business Big Marketing Club. Over-delivering. I love how Julian wasn’t willing to cut corners. Whilst this impacted on his margins in year one, it’s meant that he has a bunch of sponsors who loved what they were involved with, and a product offering that is highly regarded. Year 2 is going to be so much easier. Behind-the-scenes social media posts. I know many of you think you have nothing interesting to share on social media. If that’s you, then think about some behind-the-scenes shots and stories. They work a treat. I’ve just started to broadcast my raw interviews on Facebook Live and the engagement has been fantastic.   But the marketing gold doesn’t stop there, you’ll also discover: How to write great marketing headlines Why you should never eat alone Insights from a past interview with Rowdy McLean   Links & Resources mentioned: Barefoot Cinema’s website Interview with Play A Bigger Game’s Rowdy McLean How to write better marketing headlines Why and how to stop eating alone   Please support these businesses who make this show possible: Dale Beaumont’s 52 Ways – An amazing free 1-day live event for business owners where you’ll discover 52 ways to boost your business profits.

361 - How this side hustle now turns over $10M with TinyMe’s Mike Wilson.

Hands up who’s got a side hustle. Keep your hand up if you'd like your side hustle to turn into a multi-million dollar business. And keep your hand up if you’re doing something about it. Today’s guest acted on his successful side hustle and it’s now turning over close to ten million bucks a year. Mike Wilson is the Founder of TinyMe, which he calls “the world’s cutest and bestest online shop of personalised products for kids”. Cute it maybe, but TinyMe is now generating some serious income, employs 65 staff in the peak seasons, and does 95% of it’s manufacturing in Australia. Unheard of!   My Top 3 Attention Grabbers From My Chat With TinyMe’s Mike Wilson were: Personalisation. This is just going to become a bigger and bigger part of doing business. Be sure to take a moment to think about what you can personalise in your business - everything from your email marketing to product design to your invoicing. Get a side hustle. Mike had a few before TinyMe took off. I’ve got some Members of The Small Business Big Marketing Club who have side hustles generating a couple of grand a month. Mike’s obsessions with systems. This is an area that I’ve avoided pretty much forever. However, just in the last few week’s I’ve had my Marketing VA document all the things I do in my business, literally step-by-step, and upload them to SystemHUB, which is basically a place in the cloud where you can keep all your processes, systems and SOPs.   But the marketing gold doesn’t stop there, you’ll also discover: How you can confidently forget all your passwords except one How to turn your email signature into a sales machine How an ascending transaction model is the key to selling high-priced items   Links & Resources mentioned: TinyMe website How to forget all your passwords except one How to turn your email signature into a sales machine Interview with Lara Hopkins from Mon Purse SystemHUB - a home for your business processes, checklists & SOPs   Please support these businesses who make this show possible: Dale Beaumont’s 52 Ways – An amazing free 1-day live event for business owners where you’ll discover 52 ways to boost your business profits.

360 - A ridiculously simple idea brought tough-guy Glenn Azar back from the brink of bankruptcy.

Today’s guest, Glenn Azar from the Adventure Professionals has some very harsh but fair advice for us all. He says, “We’re all trying to get to death as safely as possible!” So, if you’re a risk averse business owner, then I think you’re going to love the advice he has to share. Like many successful entrepreneurs, Glenn has taken years to become an overnight success - losing all his money and his marriage along the way. He’s walked the Kokoda Trail more times than I’ve had hot breakfasts, and one of his daughters is the youngest Australian to ever successfully climb Everest. He absolutely loves what he does, has a huge respect for the power of marketing … and strongly believes that we should all be taking more risks instead of making our way safely to death! You’ll be that little bit better off for listening as Glenn shares: How it took years to become an overnight success An inspiring story of building a business he loves Why risk-taking is mission critical to living a life you love How he uses content marketing to grow his business How Facebook Live is a game-changer How his daughter’s book generates solid leads for his business A simple way to rebuild if the shi* hits the fan   But the marketing gold doesn’t stop there, you’ll also discover: How to surprise and reward your loyal customers How to build a website in less than 5-minutes And we go deep into the archives revisiting a chat I had with expert copywriter Joanna Wiebe   Links & Resources mentioned: The Adventure Professionals Glenn’s coaching website Alyssa Azar’s speaker website 3-steps to surprising your loyal customers How to create a personal website in less than 5-minutes 25 ways to surprise loyal customers   Please support these businesses who make this show possible: Dale Beaumont’s 52 Ways – An amazing free 1-day live event for business owners where you’ll discover 52 ways to boost your business profits.

359 - Disruptive business Gelato Messina is successfully breaking all the rules.

Gelato Messina shouldn’t be successful. It’s lives and breathes one very challenging core value. It pumps the in-store music so loud that you can’t hear yourself order. And it does collaborations that would appear completely off-brand. That said, Gelato Messina is killing it! Today’s highly successful and disruptive business owner shares: How Gelato Messina disrupts the gelato market Why a collaboration with Tim Tam worked Why having ONE core value is all you need How he is constantly applying his background as a music festival promoter Why he has no set rules for doing business   Here’s my Top 5 Attention Grabbers from the chat with Gelato Messina’s Declan Lee: The Gelato Messina Honesty policy. In fact, the idea of having and absolutely living the one core value throughout every part of the business is admirable. Especially during my years in corporate I’d come across far too many businesses that paid only lip service to 4, 5 maybe even 6 core values that were nothing more than motherhood statements. Declan’s unwavering belief in his product. It seems obvious that all business owners should have this, however, it’s not always the case. What was quite amazing was that this belief clearly trickles down to all the staff who (from what I observed) were extremely proud to be serving it up. No set rules about doing business. Theoretically, a cool, independant brand like Gelato Messina shouldn’t collaborate with a mass band like Tim Tam, but they did and it’s worked! Declan’s openness to all opportunities. It felt like he’s always looking for a reason to say YES and not NO. Honesty with customers. You know that saying “The customer's always right”? Well, maybe they’re not. Maybe sometimes we need to have honest conversations with customers that are causing our staff or our business pain. Clearly Declan thinks so.   Links & Resources mentioned: Gelato Messina Welcome Email blog post 21 examples of welcome emails Pocket blog post Pocket Tom O’Toole interview   Please support these businesses who make this show possible: Dale Beaumont’s 52 Ways – An amazing free 1-day live event for business owners where you’ll discover 52 ways to boost your business profits.

357 - How an ascending transaction model was the game-changer for The Healthy Gut's Rebecca Coomes

Like so many businesses, Rebecca Coomes built her business out of a pain point that she was experiencing herself. Her particular pain point – a pain in the gut! Rebecca Coomes is the founder of The Healthy Gut, where she writes cookbooks and recipes for sufferers of a chronic illness called SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)which is one of the leading causes of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). She is a marketing consultant by day, but that is quickly taking a back seat to her new business, in which she’s become the world’s leading patient expert on SIBO! I saw Rebecca speak at a KPI event and she absolutely blew me away. Rebecca’s personal journey is interesting in itself, but wait until you hear how two simple marketing strategies have sky-rocketed her business - one’s called the Ascending Transaction Model, and the other one? Good old helpful marketing. Listen in as we cover some serious marketing ground including: How Rebecca overcame 36 years of chronic illness and unhelpful doctors to start not one but two businesses How she saw an opportunity in the lack of cookbooks for her very strict diet and used her marketing savvy to provide a solution How she went from being a marketing consultant to a world-leading patient expert on SIBO How her passion for cooking has led to changing people's lives with her content The struggles of self-publishing books, and spreading the word via her website and social media How building strong relationships with key influencers in your field can help get you ahead The importance of networking and attending conferences to make connections and spread your brand How she gets her foot in the door, with customers and experts alike How the combination of an ascending transaction model and the creation of helpful content has grown her business exponentially But that's not all. In this episode of your favourite marketing podcast: Resident techspert Dale Beaumont drops in to share another productivity tool to make your business life infinitely easier. I share another low cost marketing idea that’ll make you feel all warm and fuzzy.

Listen in as we cover some serious marketing ground including: How Stone & Wood grew to have a turnover of $60 million and a sales volume of 12 million litres annually … in an insanely competitive marketplace.
