Welcome to another exciting episode of Chill & Prosper! Today we’re talking about a really juicy and very common thing that happens in business. If you have to deal with money, asking for money, if you have any press on your product or service, you are going to hear something at some point, it is: you're too expensive. How does that feel?

In today’s new  episode of Chill & Prosper, I have such a fun show for you.  I want to talk about being the Mickey Mouse in your business. You might not know this, but I come from a performing background - I danced my whole life.  I was always in the dance studio from age 8 and then from the age of 16, I worked for a company that did Bugs Bunny shows all around Australia.  So, we did Looney Tunes shows back in the day where there's Bugs Bunny, Sylvester, Tweety Bird, Elmer Fudd, all that kind of stuff. And these shows happened in the school holidays in Australia at  Shopping Centres.  And so this is what I spent my school holidays doing, working as a performer. Later, I also performed as Millie the Echidna, an official mascot for the Sydney 2000 Olympic games. So I love looking at things through a dance and a performing lens. Join me for the business lessons that I’ve learnt from being a performer.

This week on Chill & Prosper, we’re talking about a common thing that derails entrepreneurs all the time and that’s how to deal with negative friends and family.  (And I’m talking negative in a money sense.)   Maybe you’ve read my books, you’re feeling great about your life, you’re doing your abundance affirmations, manifesting money and your business is doing great.  Then suddenly someone says something that really bursts your bubble and you come crashing down. Often it can come from the people who are closest to you - people who should be happy for your success and should be happy that you’re making money.  But sometimes these people have so many money blocks in their lives that they just don’t realise how negative they’re being. Let’s dive in and I’ll give you the good news and the bad news!

In this week's episode of Chill & Prosper, we’re going to do a deep dive into a really juicy and sometimes very emotional topic for people in business.  We’re talking all about copycats and all the ‘stuff’ that brings up for you. If it hasn’t happened yet, it will.  However it happens, it can really deflate you, derail your confidence and bring up a lot of ‘stuff’.  I know that it really worries a lot of entrepreneurs more than it should and in fact, you could be so worried about copycats in the future that you’re actually resisting putting stuff out there in the first place which is no good at all. So let’s deal with this fear and come up with some strategies together, and I want to share some stories about it happening to me as well.

In this week's episode of Chill & Prosper, I want to talk about being an introvert in your business. (If you're an extrovert, please still listen because I'm sure you have a lot of introverts in your life and you'll still get a lot of lessons out of today's podcast anyway!) I have never made any secret of the fact that I'm a massive, massive introvert, really, really introverted, and a lot of people don't believe me. They don't believe me because I have a big business, I have a very successful multi-seven figure business. They don't believe me because I'm confident. So in today's episode, I'm sharing some ways that you can do business as an introvert, including a few sneaky tricks (because I'm a chillpreneur, I'm always trying to find the hacks, okay?!)
