This week we explore three key challenges business owners face—leadership, marketing, and mindset—and how to overcome them.
Our expert guests share practical strategies for avoiding burnout, leading with confidence, and simplifying your marketing message to attract the right customers.
We also hear from Gavin from BizFest HQ, who shares exciting updates on the upcoming BizFestSW 2024, including new exhibitors, networking opportunities, and what attendees can expect from the biggest business event in the Southwest.
BizFestSW 2024, is happening on April 2nd at Westpoint, Exeter:
Over 2,500 business owners pre-registered for the event.
Exhibitor-exclusive networking at Dartington Hall on March 20th.
Attendees can register for free, but pre-registration allows for a faster entry experience on the day.
Colette helps business owners avoid burnout and build a life they love using the science of manifestation. She shares insights on why mindset is the key to success and how business owners can take control of their thinking to shape their reality.
Claudia works with entrepreneurs who never planned to be leaders, helping them build strong teams, delegate effectively, and lead with confidence. She discusses why leadership feels overwhelming and how to shift from being a boss to being a true leader.
Sarah helps businesses simplify their marketing message to attract the right customers. She explains the StoryBrand framework, why most business marketing is too complicated, and how to create messaging that instantly connects with potential clients.
Manifestation in business – How focusing on the right thoughts can shift your results.
Overcoming leadership struggles – Why business owners struggle with managing teams and how to become a better leader.
The biggest mistake in marketing – Why businesses confuse their customers and how to fix it with clear messaging.
Marketing must be simple. If your audience doesn’t understand your offer within seconds, they won’t engage. Use clear, problem-solving messaging.
Networking matters. The right business connections can transform your growth—take advantage of BizFestSW’s networking opportunities. (Gavin)
