Since I was a young girl I’ve always been really Since I was a young girl I’ve always been really intimidated by Gyms. Not sure why, but perhaps it was when I started going to the gym years ago, girls did aerobics, and boys lifted weights. It’s funny the things that stay with you all these years - I was actually anxious about going! All of my training has been in my home gym, and I really had to question why did I have this unhelpful dislike of gyms?! It’s been so hard to continue training with a broken wrist in a home gym, and it’s still going to be another seven weeks before I’m allowed to lift weights with my arms. Which means I need to find a solution, and the wonderful equipment they have in gyms these days is it! So my awesome coach @emma_bowman__ put together a great program for me, and my beautiful son @kurt_gawinek took me to his gym today and walked me through all the machines. And guess what… Nobody made me feel uncomfortable, nobody stared at me, and nobody made me feel out of place! So glad I was willing to change this very long term misconception. You’ve just got to wonder how often do we let old beliefs hold us back from achieving the things that we really want in life? The body sculpting dream continues!!

A question I get asked a lot in my line of work is A question I get asked a lot in my line of work is “How can I stand out from my competitors and/or what is my point of difference?” And I always say, your No. 1 point of difference is YOU💯 People will remember YOU, how you make them feel, how you showed up for them and showed them you care about what is going on with their lives. 👉🏻We are all humans, and long to feel connected and understood. Be there for your audience, let them get to know you and see what you are all about. Tell them your stories and share your experiences. Create a deep, authentic connection and that is how you will stand out in a sea of same-same. “The point of difference isn’t the product they are selling or the service they are selling. It is the PERSON selling the product. That is personal branding in a nutshell.” Melissa J Scott.

Just loved hosting this wonderful pimped up picnic Just loved hosting this wonderful pimped up picnic with my special people today overlooking Syndey Harbour. Love love love lockdown being over. We have all sacrificed so much and now it’s time to be with those we love the most and I have so much gratitude for these friendships. I used to think success was all about your financial standing… I now realise true abundance is about the relationships you have in your life, the people who have your back, and the joy and laughter in your heart. If you want to celebrate something special with your friends or family like this, just get in touch. Mike from @visionsinstyle absolutely nails this and it’s awesome to partner with him. I hope you had a wonderful weekend too being with those you love. X #businessowner #businesswoman #friendship #lockdownend #events #eventsstyling #connection #50 #myfriends #personaldevelopment
DEBUNKING MARKETING MYTHS 4. “PERSONAL BRANDING DEBUNKING MARKETING MYTHS 4. “PERSONAL BRANDING IS UNNECESSARY – IT’S ALL ABOUT THE COMPANY BRAND” Now it’s time to debunk marketing myth number 4: “Personal branding is unnecessary for myself or my sales team, it’s all about the company” Really?? Do you honestly believe that one? Even when you know that 95% of purchases are made from emotion and it’s much easier to form a connection with a real person then a faceless company? Think back to one of your own personal buying experiences. Do you find yourself more likely to engage with the person who is talking about the company, sharing their stories, the personal side of what that particular product had done for them or are you more engaged with the company.👈🏻 The biggest thing holding business owners and sales representatives back from developing their own personal brand is fear and lack of self-esteem. We’re so scared of criticism and what other people think, that many business owners and sales reps have lost the ability to just be comfortable being themselves!🧡 Read our article here or listen to the video to learn why personal branding is so important in today’s marketing world. 👉🏻👉🏻Link in bio If you would like to chat more about getting your personal branding on track that get in touch Melissa x #connectionmarketing #personalbranding #videostrategy #videotips #marketingstrategy #videomadeeasy #marketingcoach #actionplan #socialmediaforbusiness #videomarketing #smallbusinessowner #businesswoman #contentcreation
Every girl (and guy) is in love with their hairdre Every girl (and guy) is in love with their hairdresser right now!! I’m a low maintenance kinda girl… but even I missed having a ‘fresh’ colour. The mousy blonde and ‘interesting’ faded chocolate brown turned burgundy colours are gone baby!! Happy girl… thank you @me_myself_and_loved_ones , you’re a legend of a hairdresser and must feel like Santa Claus right now! X #freedomday #lockdownend #hairdresserlove #businesswoman
And almost 4 months later it ends the way it start And almost 4 months later it ends the way it started… amazing company, a few drinks and karaoke! Do whatever fills your heart. My greatest takeaway from this lockdown is soak up the quiet times and revel in the simple things. And hello to getting some of our freedom back, not much will actually change in my life to be honest! x #lockdownlife #lockdownends #freedomday
Stage 2 of our back patio overhaul… @kygavv want Stage 2 of our back patio overhaul… @kygavv wanted to treat his lovely girlfriend to a romantic night in before lockdown ends, and to his luck, I spent half of last weekend cleaning this entire area down in preparation for having friends back around. I’m so happy with how it looks! A few tweaks and additions with more plants and an exotic table still to come… but right now it looks so beautiful. My style is definitely very eclectic, boho and a little Indian inspired. And maybe a little styling influence from a close friend who knows what he’s doing!… this could become addictive!!

When it comes to social media for your business, h When it comes to social media for your business, here is my number one rule: Let them see your passion, enthusiasm and energy for your business. That’s what makes you stand out and that is what people remember.💯 They are not going to remember your sales pitch or your offer (unless it is astronomical) but they will remember how you feel and how you turned up. Social media is a platform that allows you to genuinely show up as you, and attract the people that most resonate with your message. No matter what industry you are in. 👉🏻Are you taking full advantage of this incredible opportunity?

I love Facebook memories, mainly because I'm so or I love Facebook memories, mainly because I'm so ordinary at remembering dates and it reminds me of significant moments in my life! So much has changed in six years since this photo was taken, it makes my head spin if I stop and let myself think about it. Steve was alive and we were happily married. We had a house full of our 5 young kids and 2 big dogs, and even though I worked too many hours I was crazy happy running around after all of them. Everybody relied on me and I secretly loved it! It was my purpose in life. Fast forward six years and life looks so different. A different house, navigating being 50 and learning how to be single when you've been a 'couple' literally all of your adult life. I have done hundreds and hundreds of hours of personal development which has helped so much in all aspects of my life. I don't work such crazy hours any more. My kids are now adults and I have a lot more time to myself and learning to do what pleases me. Hendrix, the big dog in this photo died six months after Steve. That was the toughest time of our lives. But we still have Xena, the timid bull Arab in the front of this photo who came to us as a terrified rescue dog who had been horribly abused. She has put on another 10 kg since this photo, and gone a little grey... but the joy she has bought to our lives is such a gift. I definitely think a higher power was thinking of me that day I made the snap decision to bring her home. And I love being reminded of that when I see the photo like this.

Last week of lockdown, and feeling all the feels. Last week of lockdown, and feeling all the feels. It’s been a massive time of personal reflection for me and getting to understand myself better. I’m really coming to understand who I am, the life I want to live, who I want to be around, and what I want for the next 50 years. Most of all, I’m getting closer to understanding the impact I want to have, and It’s always easier to do this when you aren’t so ‘busy’. As this lockdown period comes to a close and the city opens up again, I can see people so excited to be busy again. It’s easy to distract ourselves from what we truly want in life when we have 101 things to do and so many people to reconnect with! My vow for myself is to not lose this quiet time every day, to stay in check with myself and to continue to feed myself from the inside out. Daily walks in nature and exercise, amazing physical connection with a lover, honest conversations with friends, love from your family, journaling, meditating, visualizing, singing and good, healthy home cooked food have been my savior for the past three months+ of isolation - for my mental health and physical health! I rarely missed a day of all of the above! Because it really is the little things in life that makes you so happy… But we can’t live on hold like this permanently, and so many of my friends and colleagues have sacrificed so much with the lockdowns. I’m incredibly grateful it is ending and I would simply like to say “thank you” to everyone who rolled up their sleeves and got vaccinated so quickly. It has ensured that we can get back to some kind of normality in our lives, and whether it’s been the right or wrong thing to do, it really deserves to be acknowledged. We live in very strange times. Time under pressure teaches us so much about ourselves. It can be a gift and shows us the things that are most important in our lives.

Relying on referrals as the only way to generate n Relying on referrals as the only way to generate new business, Is a very slow way to grow… When you rely solely on referrals for your business growth, you are only getting the referrals that people think you are capable of. Not the clients that you actually want to work with!🤦🏻‍♀️ Ever been to a networking event, and received some well-meaning referrals from that event, only to waste your time and energy on the wrong kind of client for you. It’s exhausting, frustrating, and entirely your fault if this is your only way of generating new business leads! 🚩Social media is an amazing tool to grow your database, expand your reach and get in front of hundreds if not thousands of potential new clients when you have a provide content of high value, and a compelling offer. 🚩Let your audience see you, learn about what you do, how are you helping your customers, and how you can help them solve the problems that they have in their life. 🚩Tell them about your new, exciting developments coming up or previous client success stories. Let them get a feel for you and if they would enjoy working with you. And that way, when they do reach out and take that first step of doing business with you, you will have attracted someone who is exactly the type of customer you want and that would most benefit your business in the long run. 🚩You should be in control of the kind of people you do business with. And you can attract this person when you execute social media well. Learn some of our favourite ways to connect with our audience right here 🎇LINK IN BIO.

I had the pleasure of meeting our former Premier G I had the pleasure of meeting our former Premier Gladys Berejiklian earlier this year for a moment, and hearing her address the room of 200+ business owners. She completely controlled that stage. She was humble, earnest, sincere, very funny, approachable and so human. She hung around for ages after the event for photos and chats. I liked her before, and after seeing her answer some pretty tricky questions, liked her even more after that meeting. What she must be going through right now is horrendous. Brought down by the actions of a partner she loved at the time. Who are we to judge what may or may not have happened. Politics aside, she’s a human being who has served us for years with much sacrifice. These has been crazy, unprecedented times, and everyone has their own opinion on how the lockdowns should have been handled - oh the power of hindsight! I think she has been a champion leader showing up every day to incredible scrutiny. I believe that her leaving the office right now is not good for NSW. And I am terribly sad for her personally. I hope she has wonderful support to help her transition back into a different life. And I hope people ease up on the rude and disrespectful posts… she’s a human going through a lot right now. Less judgement, more kindness. You will be missed Gladys. X #gladys #gladysberejiklian #lockdown #lockdownlife #sad #respect
DEBUNKING MARKETING MYTHS 3. “OUR CLIENTS ARE NO DEBUNKING MARKETING MYTHS 3. “OUR CLIENTS ARE NOT ON SOCIAL MEDIA” Okay people, now it’s time to debunk myth number 3: “We don’t use social media marketing because our clients are not on there – all of our new business comes from referrals.” Let me just tell you straight… that’s crazy talk!! Why? Because we are all humans! Your potential clients, your existing customers, business owners, alliance partners, referral partners, suppliers… are all humans, just like you. And 99% of them use social media. And particularly in today’s world where we have been isolated and unable to be with each other as normal, we are on social media looking to pass time, hang out, get connected, be entertained or searching for help and inspiration. 🧡 If social media hasn’t worked for you in the past, it’s probably because you think social media is for selling. 👉🏻It’s not. What it is, is a very powerful tool to get YOU out in front of a much wider audience, to develop trust and interest in your brand and to really interact with people and let them know how you can HELP them. 👉🏻Consistently turning up on social media, allows you to remain on top of mind in your audiences thoughts, so that when they are ready to commit or purchase, it’s you they will choose to buy from.

I’m feeling quite reflective about the past thre I’m feeling quite reflective about the past three months and what I’ve experienced in our Covid lockdown in Sydney. I feel so grateful to have slowed down my pace and really use this time for some serious personal development and gain even more understanding about who I am and what I really want in my life. In recent years I’ve come to realise that I’m so interested in the healing industry, and I’m starting this journey with some new training next month in a modality called Spiral – a combination of kinesiology, Chakra Healing and ENT. I’m super excited about that and can’t wait to share my new skills on trusting friends! I am so grateful for my health, to be able to exercise every day, be out in nature, and still feel very connected to the people that I love. That love and appreciation only grows stronger when you are placed under pressure. I am incredibly grateful for my business, my clients, and the ability to still be able to work when so many couldn’t. I’m very grateful to be wide open for growth. This has been a really personal period to practice patience, compassion and understanding. And I think I’ve done okay! Life really is about the little things. And walking with this chicky Louise, who not only makes my heart sing but my vocal chords too! (inside word – she is the most gifted singer you’ll ever experience!) Our recent walk was a wonderful reminder they we are all on this personal growth journey together, so choose your tribe very carefully. Make sure they empower you, uplift you, love you, and are there for you. And you for them. Coming out of lockdown will be awesome, but let’s not forget the lessons from it.

As we hit the home stretch in Sydney for lockdown As we hit the home stretch in Sydney for lockdown coming to an end soon, there are a few things that I will actually miss about zoom meetings from home… 1. Thinking that activewear or belting an oversized T-shirt is suitable attire for a business meeting, and the other person agreeing with you because they’re dressed the same! 2. Not wearing proper footwear for months on end (ugg boots, trainers or barefoot are not proper footwear!) 3. Not wearing a bra for weeks on end 4. Eating unapologetically throughout nearly every single zoom meeting I’ve done so far! 5. Minimal make up and unwashed hair with an inch of regrowth is considered quite OK 6. Having a hungry child / barking dog / family member wander into your zoom meeting and interrupt it is considered quite normal 7. Taking the person you’re having a meeting with on a virtual tour around your house (or where you’re staying) because they like the look of it! 8. Having everybody pretty much turn up on time, because they can no longer blame traffic - And not having to deal with traffic is even better! 9. Don’t tell anyone, but they were several times I got out of bed five minutes before a meeting and thought it was OK to wear a baseball cap to hide my disheveled look!  But what I will miss most of all about zoom meetings from home, is how each of these funny things has been such a wonderful icebreaker in creating a sincere connection with the other person. There’s something really honest about seeing another person in their home environment, and I like it!

Loving our new recruit at Divine Creative Agency! Loving our new recruit at Divine Creative Agency! Anybody recognise this young man?! We are working on a large project for a client we’ve had for over 15 years, and I think it’s the fifth website we’ve built for them. The latest project is online training to the pharmaceutical industry, which involves A LOT of audio set to animation to try and 'friendly' it up.. So what a combo this is… I design the slides, and my son Ky is building the animation video for the online course. And doing an amazing job I might add! I’m loving the opportunity to work together, especially getting to teach him a thing or two about how to manage deadlines, tricky client briefs, and juggling the workflow and still meeting / exceeding customer expectations. He has quite an entrepreneurial mindset and there’s nothing like getting thrown in the deep end to spark that much-needed work ethic if you’re going to succeed in business long term. Oh to be 20 again! The world at his feet and so happy for this time together to learn and grow. Proud mama bear. He’s doing an awesome job.

Another day another pop up picnic pimped by @visio Another day another pop up picnic pimped by @visionsinstyle Thanks Gladys for making our weekends social again - (and giving us champagne!!!) Can’t tell you how good it feels to get outdoors and soak up the sun and be with friends. Today’s theme is Boho meets Gypsy. My favourite so far!!! We certainly get a lot of attention when we do picnics this way. If you have a special event coming up, make it outdoors and get in touch with Mike. 2 week countdown to getting out of lockdown!!!

I’ve been training for a bodybuilding comp for t I’ve been training for a bodybuilding comp for the past 10 months, so it’s pretty inconvenient when you break your wrist and can no longer lift weights! (Especially when you find building muscle a slow process anyway.) It’s easy to lose motivation when it seems your ability to train has been taken away from you. So life hack #1, get over yourself and all the reasons why not, get dressed in your workout gear first thingy in the morning, and find the time during the day to move your body, whichever way you can! Life hack #2 with a broken wrist… Give up on the idea of washing your hair frequently! It’s just a painfully slow exercise, and such a waste of time. Make dry shampoo your friend, and wear a hat. I’m seriously thinking about not washing my hair for the next month! I’ll let you know how that goes! Life hack #3… Stop finding excuses to not achieve your goals, there’s always a way. When life throws you a curve ball, I believe it’s the universe saying to you “how bad do you want it!” Make sure your response every time is “fking real bad!” I’ve let myself be distracted from my goals when the reason seems good enough so many times in the past. It’s an easy out when things get hard. Not anymore. We are given so many gifts in this life, and now I’m officially middle-aged, there are no more excuses, no more getting distracted. Live your best life for you, nobody else. And only YOU knows what that looks like. I’ve done the past 50 years for pretty much everybody else in my life (happily I might add). So I’m going to try the next 50 for me!! Self-love, trust that it will be OK, surround yourself with people that support YOU. And no more excuses. Much love.
