Holy shit, today's guest is a fucking powerhouse! Meet Adrienne Donnelly, the reluctant 'ultimate entrepreneur' (yeah, we gave her that title and we're sticking to it).
This badass runs multiple businesses like a boss, including Organised by Adrienne and Newcastle Virtual Assistants (which she runs with Jane Elkholm, one of our epic guest from 2024). And because apparently sleep is optional, she's also smashing it on various boards and business networks.
Adrienne talks about the reality of the entrepreneurial rollercoaster - from pricing (and why you need to charge more), to firing clients who don't serve you, to the nitty-gritty truth about running multiple businesses without losing your mind.
Since we recorded this episode, Adrienne's gone and added another business to her empire - Seed Virtual Assistants. Because apparently being a total legend wasn't enough already!
If you're wondering if it's possible to run multiple businesses without cloning yourself, this episode is for you.

Holy shit, we're getting ORGANISED! Today we're diving into the mind-blowing concept of setting 100 smaller goals for your business (yes, you read that right - one hundred fucking goals!).
Between Dotty the cat's attempts to steal the show and our usual shenanigans, we're breaking down how to turn those overwhelming ""holy fuck, how will I ever do this"" business dreams into bite-sized, achievable goals.
We're sharing the real shit about our own goal-setting adventures - from fancy cafΓ© planning dates (because who doesn't love plotting world domination over coffee?) to our love affair with journals and planners. Plus, we're sharing our favourite tools, podcasts, and books that actually help get shit done.
And because we know you can't crush those goals if you're running on empty, we're talking about why self-care isn't just some woo-woo bullshit but actually crucial for your success.

Today we're doing something new and having a dude into our podcast - but trust us, David Rosenthal from Retinue Accounting is not a boring accountant. We're diving into the money chat that usually makes entrepreneurs want to hide under their desk, but David somehow takes the ick out of talking about cash flow and balance sheets. We have plenty of "holy shit, I didn't know that" moments and real talk about not letting your business finances turn into a total dumpster fire. David brings the knowledge without the put-you-to-sleep accounting mumbo jumbo, and we're here for every minute of it.
Sidenote: Soz about Rah's sound, the microphone at the studio is stuffed. Fingers crossed it's fixed soon.

We dive into all the bits and pieces that make up solid customer relationships (including our own stuff-ups along the way).
