24.01.2022 In the lead up to Christmas, we created #buyonthebeaches to encourage everyone to shop locally and support all the seriously awesome businesses on the Northern Beaches during Christmas. Little did we know we were about to fall into Covid chaos and an NB wide lockdown. Half of us are still in it, weeks later. Like many of you, we've been complaining about how unfair it is that so many local businesses have lost their biggest trading week...s as a result of this lockdown. I have no doubt the government will step in and help out, but that's a short term solution. We need a long term solution. And that solution is US. Yep, there are 260k Northern Beaches locals. Imagine if every dollar we spent, was spent on the Northern Beaches? We'd have our local businesses (and their families, their employees & their families, their suppliers & their families) back on their feet in no time. So, we've created very rough Instagram and Facebook pages @buyonthebeaches and we'll showcase all the awesome businesses on the Northern Beaches. We've also created a little section on our website to host the lists of local businesses. We've created a form for local businesses to let us know they exist. All links are in our bio. I have no idea how this will unfold, but I'm hoping you'll all help by spreading the word. Please just tell everyone you know. Please share the posts from our BOTB pages. And above all, please shop locally whenever you can. This is a bit out there ... so please give me some love in the comments and tell me we're not crazy for starting this!!! See more

23.01.2022 The beaches are BACK baby!! How good does it feel to have the borders open again?! We have lots of new followers, so how better to kick of the new year than with a run down of our spaces and what we offer? So, we have 2 spaces, one in Frenchs Forest (next door to the @forest.hotel.nsw) and the other in the heart of Mona Vale village (above @2kf_espresso). ... Both spaces are flooded with natural light and have a really welcoming, beachy feel. We have beautiful spacious workspaces & ergonomic furniture so you'll be comfy all day long. Our spaces are divided into open plan work areas, private offices, meeting/boardrooms, phone booths, podcast/webinar rooms, and breakout spaces, so you're free to move about and work wherever it suits you. We also treat you to complimentary fresh fruit, tea (Pukka tea bar!) and coffee and other nutritious snacks. Of course, all the businessy stuff is covered too: ultra fast fibre wifi, complimentary printing, mail handling, an app for all your desk and room bookings, library of business books, etc. But above all else, we're home to a vibrant, supportive local business community made up of every type of business you can imagine. We'd love to invite you in for a FREE trial, any day, any time. DM me to organise it. all our photos are taken by local photographer @snappystreetcreative See more

20.01.2022 HUMP DAY HOW TO ... outsource successfully Who else has a to-do list that is getting out-of-control or overwhelming? Michael Ossitt is well known in our spaces as the king of outsourcing and automation. When he showed me the manual he had created for his VA, I knew I had stumbled across a whole new world of organisation and asked Michael to share a few pointers on how to outsource effectively: ... 1. TRACK track your week, map out all your tasks that you do regularly, ideally over a month. Use a time log like Toggl or RescueTime to capture everything. 2. REVIEW review your time log and look for repetitive tasks. Analyse the different types of tasks and break them down in to A, B, and C tasks. A tasks are ones that should be done by you as the business owner (planning, strategy, sales, hiring). Things that you are both proficient and passionate about. B tasks are ones that could be done by someone else invoicing, implementation, service delivery. Things that you might not be proficient or passionate about. C tasks are ones that must be done by someone else process driven tasks, research, admin, cleaning, errands (review cost/benefit vs your effective hourly rate). Things that you are definitely not proficient or passionate about. 3. DOCUMENT Document and systemise your repetitive tasks. Start with all the C tasks and then move on to the B tasks. If something is done more than once regularly then create a process. Document it into a checklist, list of instructions, photo slideshow or video walkthrough/screencast. Outline the What, Why, When, Who and How into a single page process document. Use Loom/Camtasia to do a screencast with voiceover. Add all your systems and processes and checklists to an Online Operations Manual using a wiki builder like Notion or Google Sites. 4. AUTOMATE Identify all your processes which could be automated instead of delegated. Ie. Email auto responders (ActiveCampaign), automatic invoicing, calendar booking system (Calendly), app linking and automation tools such as Zapier and Integromat. 5. DELEGATE Delegate all your C tasks first and then your B tasks. Employ a new team member, hire a virtual assistant (Local or Overseas), outsource to a contractor, engage a freelancer (Fiverr, Upwork, Odesk, Freelancer.com). Share your Online Operations Manual with your new team member so they can teach themselves and share a Digital To-do List Manager (like Todoist or Trello) to manage all your deliverables and deadlines. Michael owns STRAND Property Group, leads local business networking group CONNECTWORK and has just been elected onto the board of the Buyers Agent Association of Australia. No wonder he needs to be super organised!! Snappystreet Creative

06.01.2022 Who do you tell when you do something awesome in your business? Do you have a support crew? If not, tell us what you achieved ... we'll be your cheer squad! After investing in some serious digital marketing training, I learnt soooo much that I told pretty much everyone in our spaces all about it (whether they wanted to know or not ). And it felt amazing to share my excitement and even better to have their support.... So I asked just a few of our members what they achieved this month ... it's a solid list: Marnie Del Beauchamp has launched not 1 but 2 new businesses: Marnie Beauchamp Property and Hive Consulting Co STRAND Property Group was elected as the NSW representative on the Buyers Agents Association of Australia board Michelle Broadbent landed & onboarded 2 new 'unicorn' clients (and wondered if it was newsworthy ... ah YES!!!)

04.01.2022 Does anyone else write something 50 times and still end up not saying what you actually meant? Camille Blyth saw so many businesses struggling with this, and more and more of them spending hours 'blogging', that she launched a business The Brilliant Content Academy to take the stress out of content marketing. I asked Camille (one of our MV members) to share a bit about her business with me: ... Q. What is The Brilliant Content Agency? A. We create ongoing content for service based businesses, most of whom have high value, infrequently purchased products or services. Our main output is written articles but we also do a lot of work around branding such as brand and website updates and video scripts. Q. What do you love about your job? A. I love the freedom to come up with ideas and put them into play. Some of my clients have been with us for 5 years so it’s a case of constantly learning new things, as well as keeping up with the latest trends in content marketing and working out where they might fit best for different clients. As well as this the goal of flexibility and autonomy mean I never really feel like I have a ‘job’. Q. How do you keep the creative juices flowing? A. Necessity is truly the mother of all invention: deadlines, learning new skills and Morning Pages. Other than that, vitamins, sleep and having strict boundaries around work time. Q. Who do you look to for inspiration? A. I stay in my own lane as much as I can. I prefer to spend the weekend gardening and letting ideas bubble away in my subconscious over looking at what other people are doing. Camille has also just launched a FREE course to get your business 'content-ready' for 2021 - click this link here to join her - https://thebrilliantcontentagency.com/free-training-sign-/ @amandamclauchlan
