THRIVING BUSINESS PODCAST — WORKSHOP SERIES
You're good at what you do. Running a business is a completely different skill set.
This can Change Everything.
are you an ambitious business owner?
You had a big month. Again. So why does the bank account still make your stomach drop?
​
You're working harder than you ever have. Longer hours than you had in any job. You started this because you wanted freedom — and instead you've built yourself a very demanding, very personal, very expensive trap that you can't tell anyone about.
​
Because from the outside it looks fine. More than fine. You have clients. You have revenue. You have a business.
But you're drowning. And the worst part is feeling like you should know how to fix it by now.
​
Here's what nobody tells you when you start. Being exceptional at your craft and knowing how to run a profitable business are two completely different skills. You didn't fail. You weren't taught. There's a significant difference.
The pricing, the positioning, the cash flow, the systems, the team, the decisions — none of it comes naturally. None of it is obvious. And the internet isn't helping. It's full of experts with answers to questions you haven't figured out how to ask yet.
​
Kate and Sam have both been exactly where you are. They know what it feels like to have revenue on paper and anxiety in practice. Between them they've spent decades figuring out what actually works — not the theory, not the framework someone invented in a boardroom, the stuff that works in real businesses run by real people with real bills and real exhaustion.
​
These workshops exist because this stuff should have been taught to you a long time ago. It wasn't. So here it is — practical, honest, and designed for someone who is smart enough to run a business but just hasn't been shown how yet.
​
Two hours. One pillar. One problem off your plate.
​
No fluff. No homework that takes six weeks. No feeling like everyone else in the room has it together and you're the only one who doesn't.
​
You're not. They don't. And this is a safe place to figure it out.
THE REAL COST OF STAYING STUCK
Before we talk about $120 — let's talk about what not knowing this stuff is actually costing you.
​
Every week you undercharge, you're not just leaving money on the table. You're reinforcing the belief that you're not worth more. And that belief compounds.
​
Every week you work inside your business instead of on it, you're trading your most valuable hours for tasks that have nothing to do with why you started.
​
Every decision you make without understanding your numbers is a guess. Some guesses are fine. Some quietly sink businesses that should have thrived.
​
You don't need a $20,000 website, or a $5,000 a month marketing team, or a $3000 course to tell you what's broken. You need two hours with someone who has seen this exact situation before and can hand you the map.
​
One workshop pays for itself the week you use it. That's not a promise. That's just arithmetic.
Q1 WORKSHOP — REVENUE BREAKTHROUGH
Earn Powerfully: Market, Position & Sell With Confidence
Wednesday 15th April | 9:00am AWST/11:00am AEST | Live via Zoom
You know you're good at what you do. So why does getting the right clients still feel so hard?
Most business owners at this stage aren't struggling because their service isn't good enough. They're struggling because their offer isn't clear enough, their message isn't landing with the right people, and somewhere in the sales process they flinch — drop the price, add extra scope, take the client they shouldn't — because saying no feels riskier than saying yes to the wrong thing.
​
This workshop is about fixing that. Not with scripts and tactics. With clarity.
​
When you know exactly who you're for, what you solve, and why someone should choose you — selling stops feeling like selling. It starts feeling like a conversation between the right people.
​
After this workshop you will:
-
Know exactly who your ideal client is and why they choose you — not just the demographic, the mindset
-
Have an offer that sells the outcome, not just the service
-
Understand how to show up in your marketing without being everywhere all the time
-
Have a sales approach that feels honest and comfortable — for you and for them
Walk away with: A clear offer, a positioning statement, and a 90-day marketing action plan.
​
Two hours. No overwhelm. Just clarity you've been trying to find for months.
Q2 WORKSHOP — BUSINESS AUTOMATION BLUEPRINT
Keep More: Profit, Pricing & Financial Confidence
Wednesday 20th May | 9:00am AWST/11:00am AEST | Live via Zoom
You had a great month. The invoices went out. The money came in. And somehow, two weeks later, you're checking your account more than you'd like to admit.
This is the moment most business owners decide they just need more clients. More revenue. More hustle.
It's usually the wrong answer.
​
The problem isn't how much is coming in. It's the gap between what comes in and what actually stays. Pricing that's too low. Margins you haven't properly calculated. Money that moves through the business before you've had a chance to make it work for you.
​
This workshop isn't about making you feel bad about your numbers. It's about finally understanding them — simply, clearly, without needing a finance degree or a spreadsheet addiction.
​
Because when you know your numbers, you stop making decisions from fear and start making them from fact. That changes everything.
​
After this workshop you will:
-
Understand your actual profit margin — not the one you're hoping for, the real one
-
Know whether your pricing is working and exactly how to adjust it without losing clients
-
Have a simple weekly system for tracking what matters — takes minutes, not hours
-
Know which parts of your business are costing you more than they should
​
Walk away with: A pricing review, a profit baseline, and a weekly numbers system.
​
You don't need to love numbers. You just need to stop being afraid of them.
Q3 WORKSHOP — TEAM BUILDING ACCELERATOR
Grow Smart: Business Model, Team & Scalable Delivery
Wednesday 24th June | 9:00am AWST/11:00am AEST Perth Time | Live via Zoom
You've thought about hiring. Maybe you've already tried it. Maybe it made things more complicated, not less, and now you're doing their job as well as yours.
Or maybe you're not at that stage yet — but you can feel the ceiling. There are only so many hours. Only so many clients. Only so much of you to go around. And the idea of growing feels less exciting and more terrifying because you have no idea how the business functions without you in every part of it.
​
This is the capacity trap. And it's not a you problem. It's a structure problem.
​
This workshop is about redesigning how the work gets done — so that your business can grow without you becoming a smaller and smaller person inside a larger and larger machine.
​
After this workshop you will:
-
See clearly where your business model is working against you — and what to change first
-
Know whether you're ready to hire and exactly what role to fill if you are
-
Have a client delivery system that creates consistent results whether or not you're personally involved in every step
-
Understand how to protect your energy as the business grows — because a business that breaks you isn't worth building
​
Walk away with: A capacity audit, a hiring decision framework, and a client delivery checklist.
​
The goal isn't a bigger business. It's a better one — that works without costing you everything.
Q4 WORKSHOP — FINANCIAL COMMAND CENTRE
Lead With Impact: Self-Awareness, EQ & Values-Driven Leadership
Wednesday 29th July | 9:00am AWST/11:00am AEST | Live via Zoom
You can fix the strategy. You can build the systems. You can hire the right people. And still find a way to get in your own way.
Not because you're not capable. Because nobody has ever helped you understand how you work — your actual strengths, your real blind spots, the patterns you keep repeating that have nothing to do with your business model and everything to do with you.
​
This is the workshop most business coaches avoid because it asks you to look at yourself honestly. Kate and Sam don't avoid it — because they've both had to do this work and they know what's waiting on the other side of it.
This isn't therapy. It's not a personality quiz. It's practical self-knowledge applied directly to your business — the decisions you make, the way you lead, the clients you attract, the boundaries you keep or don't.
​
After this workshop you will:
-
Know your Zone of Genius — and stop wasting energy trying to be good at everything
-
Understand how your emotional responses affect your business decisions and what to do about it
-
Have a values framework that makes the hard decisions easier — what to take on, what to decline, who to trust
-
Stop being the most unpredictable variable in your own business
​
Walk away with: A leadership profile, a values compass, and a clear picture of the leader your business needs you to be.
​
The most expensive problems in your business aren't the ones you can see on a spreadsheet.
FOUR WORKSHOPS. FIVE MONTHS. $400.
Here's what $400 actually is.
​
It's less than one hour with most business consultants. It's less than a single bad hire costs in time alone. It's less than one month of undercharging at your current rate adds up to.
​
It's four workshops, four recordings you keep forever, and a clear picture of every area of your business — what's working, what's broken, and exactly what to do about it.
​
You're not buying information. There's plenty of that for free. You're buying the right information, in the right order, explained by people who understand your specific situation and genuinely want to see you come out the other side.
Business owners who understand their business make better decisions. Full stop.
​
$400 for five months of momentum.
The alternative is another five months of guessing.
AND IF YOU'RE READY TO GO ALL IN — BALI IS WAITING
The workshops give you the map.
Three days in Bali in August is where you follow it — with Kate and Sam beside you, a small group of business owners who are done with staying stuck, and the space to actually think clearly for the first time in a long time.
