🚨 Spoiler Alert: You didn’t build your busine

🚨 Spoiler Alert: You didn’t build your business to rely on your friends, so why stress over their support (or lack of it)?

Here’s the truth: too many business owners get caught up worrying about the people close to them who aren't showing up as customers or cheerleaders. But you didn’t sign up for this journey to cater to your circle—you did it to grow, thrive, and make an impact, right?!

Tall Poppy Syndrome is real, and if you’re sensing it, take it as a compliment. It means you’re reaching new heights, pushing boundaries, and making others notice—even if they don’t openly acknowledge it.

Trust me, your real supporters will find you. The clients who resonate with your vision and your values will become part of your professional tribe. They won’t just be customers; they’ll be advocates and allies who cheer you on every step of the way 👏🏼 🎉

So, step past the people who don’t get it, and focus on those who do. Your tribe is out there, and they’re waiting for you to lead the way.

Did you know habit stacking makes things easier? And your morning habits set the tone for the day ☕

Whether it’s starting with your favourite coffee or yoga session, then diving into checking your numbers before the big tasks of the day, building small, consistent habits makes business life smoother. 💡

Habit stacking is all about linking small actions together. When you add something you already do, like having that morning coffee, with a task you need to get done, you naturally create a routine. Over time, these little habits blend into your day, making things feel effortless and automatic.

Big thanks to our lovely client, @getdosed.co for making sure we get our caffeine hit and keep things running smoothly! Once you get into a habit stacking flow, your routine becomes second nature. For me, it’s coffee first, then straight into checking the numbers.

⚠️ Are you making this costly Xero Mistake? O

⚠️ Are you making this costly Xero Mistake?

One of the biggest mistakes I see small business owners make is not connecting all their automated bank feeds in Xero. Here’s why it matters:

If you haven’t connected every business account, you could be missing transactions, making your financial records inaccurate. This could lead to nasty surprises like unexpected tax bills or cash flow issues 💸.

Here’s how you can fix it:
✅ Connect all your business accounts (PayPal, Stripe, etc.), but leave your personal accounts out.
✅ Review your transactions weekly.
✅ Set aside time monthly to reconcile your Xero with your bank statements for complete accuracy.

✋🏼 This is just one of 3 costly Xero mistakes. Want to know the others? Download our FREE guide to save yourself from expensive errors! DM 'Xero' to get the link! 🔗
