25.01.2022 Sometimes you just need to #gowiththeflow Two of the biggest causes of stress is:- 1. Things arent happening as fast as you planned on or thought & 2. Things do start to happen but way faster/bigger than you planned on.... Sometimes things will happen just as you had planned, sometimes they dont & sometimes life surprises you & things start happening at a faster rate. It will be ok, rather than stress about things, take a breath and go with the flow. Look at how you can break things down to bite sizes, and dont be afraid to ask for help. #justdontstop #brisbanewomeninbusiness #businesschicks #businesschicksaustralia #supportingwomeninbusiness #empoweringwomen #brisbanefemales #womenmotivatingwomen #girlganggoals #girlgang #workingwomen #womenbusinessleaders #womenarepower #hersuccess #shesdoingit #sheskickinggoals #encouragingotherwomen #encouragingwomen #empowerher #sistershelpingsisters

25.01.2022 Remembrance Day The 11th hour of the 11th month, signifies the end of World War One in 1918 with the signing of Armistice. After World War Two, the Australian Government agreed to the United Kingdom’s proposal that Armistice Day be renamed Remembrance Day to commemorate those who were killed in both World Wars. On Remembrance Day, we observe one minute silence at 11am to remember all those who died or suffered for Australia's cause in all wars and armed conflicts.... We will remember them Lest we forget
24.01.2022 It was really important for me to see women who back each other, especially if one of them is still finding their way. I dont have time for stories where women are dragging each other down. Miranda Tapsell Miranda is a Logie-Award winning Larrakia woman, actress, and author.

21.01.2022 WoooHooo got my Agorapulse certificate of completion
21.01.2022 Could your boat sail without you? In the early stages of owning and running a small business and with the community projects I would start, I was a bad leader. Not like a horrible person kind of way or anything like that. I would just do everything my self. Run the whole admin, accounts, payroll, social media everything. With my community projects, I had people offering to help me and for free but no, I did it alone and it was crazy.... With trying to do everything myself, I would get burn out, fall in bed and not move for a week/s. So then I did start asking for help and building teams. However, I was new at all this so I didnt have the best people for the roles (first mistake, giving roles and positions to family and friends). The second mistake and the second project, I did have a great team and the right people in the right roles. However, this time, I was lacking confidence and I micromanaged everything, doing most, if not all the work. I didnt really trust my team and they felt that. They didnt let the team down, I did. Third mistake on third project, I didnt communicate what I want done and how I wanted it done. So this is what I learned about leadership and teamwork. Step out of the shadows and claim your position as a leader. Lead from the front NOT the back; Have a clear vision that inspires and resonates with your team; Communicate your vision and why its important; Open communication throughout the project; Dont be afraid to put someone on your team that might be better than you; If you have done the above, then trust your team. Trust yourself and that you have put the right people on your team. I have also learned that leadership is an ongoing journey of discovery. The learning never stops. I dont think my ship will sail without just yet. But Im working on it. Happy sailing
19.01.2022 I think one's feelings waste themselves in words; they ought all to be distilled into actions which bring results. #florencenightingale Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), known as The Lady With the Lamp, was a British #trailblazing nurse, social reformer and statistician best known as the founder of modern nursing. Florence is also a published author, she wrote many books on nursing. She also established St. Thomas Hospital and the Nightingale Training School for Nurses in 1860.

Florence was award, OM (Order of Merit), RRC (Royal Red Cross) and DStJ (Order of St John)

17.01.2022 Today is white ribbon day. Together let’s make a stand to end violence against women. On average, 1 woman a week is murdered by her current or former partner.... My sister Keri, sadly is apart of that stat. She had just broke up with this low life scum & had kicked him out of our house. His abuse & violence towards her and everyone was escalating. A couple of nights before this happened. He was beating into my sister over a stupid dinner not being ready for him, not being good enough, her being with friends. That night he was told to leave our house, after more yelling, his parting words were, ‘this isn’t the end of it’. We thought nothing more of it. Until Friday night, he did come back and end it. This was 1988, and it saddens me that so many women are still experiencing violence at the hands of men. We must come together, men and women and speak out when we see it, call it out when we see it. Or even if you think it might be happening. Have that awkward conversation. It’s so much better to be wrong then to find out later you were right. This is not against all men, there are some wonderful men out there & a life term was 15 years, earlier with good behaviour. If you or someone you know needs help, reach out to DVConnect #whiteribbon #speakup #endviolenceagainstwomen #makeastand

10.01.2022 What would you rather? A. More Time Or B. More Money... I would go with time, more time to be with friends, more time to help others and with more time to work on your business you have the potential to earn more money.
10.01.2022 Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later, if you are posing, you will forget the pose, and then where are you? #fannybrice Americas first female comedy superstar, Fanny Brice paved the way for funny girls in every generation. In fact, a broadway musical production was created about her calledyou guessed itFunny Girl (play by Barbra Streisand). Fanny started her career as a burlesque dancer, then was discovered by prod...ucer Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. and she skyrocketed into fame as a comedic actress on stage, in film, and later on her own radio comedy series, The Baby Snooks Show. And my personal favourite #quote Any woman who cant say a four-letter word sometimes is deceitful. #justbeyourself
10.01.2022 As the saying goes:- if you have #haters youre doing something #right You're unlikely to be both #successful and #popular . If you have not accomplished anything, then nobody would be paying attention to you.... When there are people hating on you and what you do, then it is a sign that you are on the path toward success. Use this as a sign of validation. That you are doing the right types of things. Social media is full of trolls and haters. If you're stepping up, be prepared for haters trying to pull you down. Dont let haters get to you, use them to fuel your fire and show them how to win.
10.01.2022 Ok so I know you could always do business ad’s in WhatsApp but this will be a knew and improved way. A more streamlined, simplified way of doing it. It could also expose your business to more of your target audience (which we all want, right? ) From Social Media Today ‘Ads in direct messaging threads have proven to be an unpopular option (and ads in WhatsApp Status have also been canned). So instead, Facebook's looking to provide a new option for businesses on WhatsApp which... will enable them to create Facebook promotions within their WhatsApp business tools, that then link back to their WhatsApp presence, tapping into the combined popularity of the two platforms. As explained by CNN, the process will make use of WhatsApp Business catalogs, in order to source product information for Facebook promotion. "Business users will now be able to select an item from their catalog and quickly turn it into a Facebook or Instagram ad with a button directing viewers back to their WhatsApp profile." That will effectively open up new cross-promotional potential for businesses on WhatsApp - though its value, of course, will be limited to how many people within your target market are using both apps. #socialmedia #socialmediamarketing #FacebookNews #WhatsAppBusiness #whatsappnews #womensupportingwomen #womensnetwork #womensupportingwomen #womeninbusiness #damesinbusiness

08.01.2022 Its ok to, just say NO. As a little girl, I was taught to be liked (and we all wanted to be liked) I had to be nice, be helpful and be accomodating. As I entered adulthood I subconsciously kept this mindset. I wore myself out trying to be all things to everyone. Stressing myself out because I said way too many yeses, yes, Ill do that for you, yes, I can do that for you. I would stress if I had to say no to someone because I had already doubled booked myself or I just re...ally couldnt help. I would say things like I really hate doing this & Im so so sorry but can I do this tomorrow? Ill bring a coffee to make up for it. Ohh gosh Im so sorry, I feel awful about this. It wasnt until I was in my 30s when I learnt I was a people pleaser (I had never heard of the term before). And people pleasing was making me sick. I started to avoid people, by avoiding people, I was avoiding people pleasing and saying yes to everyone. So, I have learnt, sometimes it really is ok to say no. Its ok to say no, whenever you want. And sometimes some people would prefer you to say no, if you really cant commit to what it is they are asking of you. So, when someone ask you to do something, take a breath & swallow your instant reply of yes and think, Is this something that I want to do, something I need to do or something I have to do? If your answers to those questions are, no, then you should, #justsayno

05.01.2022 When I think about the skills you have to have as a leader, you dont have to have them all within yourself.

03.01.2022 Do you have a business mentor? I actually think having a mentor (not a business coach) is vital in all stages of your business journey. You might change mentors as you grow, you might have more than one mentor and sometimes your mentor might not even know that they are your mentor (although it is nice to let them know). There are many great reasons to have a mentor, but here are my top 3 reasons why you should have a business mentor.... 1. They have more business experience then you. Probably even more failures and successes than you. Because of their experience they can sometimes foresee an issue you may encounter, that isnt obvious to you or your inner circle. 2. They make great sounding boards. If you have ideas on expanding your business, staff issues, company issues or having issues with a competitor. Having a mentor to turn to can help talk through those issues and help you not feel so lonely or lost at sea. 3. A mentor is normally someone you look up to, so they can also help with your personal development. As you inspire to get to the next level. Their experience and advice can help shape you. As you learn from their personal mistakes and business mistakes. Well thats about the short and tall of it (I think thats the saying ) I could go on about mentors but Im not sure anyone really reads all the way to the end here. And Im pretty sure no one likes a post that goes on and on and on and you get the picture Have a fabulous day night wherever you are Bec Baker
03.01.2022 #speakup Value your thoughts your ideas & your voice. #fact women speak less in meetings. Many women have self-doubts and second-guess themselves. #women are more likely to be interrupted by both men, AND other women. ... When you silence yourself and dont speak up, you dont get heard nor do you get visibility. Getting heard and being seen is important, so to get your message across, get your ideas heard, to win the job or that contract. When you speak up, people can perceive this as you having competences and you having confidence in your ideas. When people feel that you are both competence and confident they will believe in you.
