Let’s get two things straight: You can have a business that’s successful, and on YOUR terms. You can be there for your family, your team, and for the world, enjoying the journey. The small* in "small business" is just there to remind you it's just a term. Ain't nothing small about being in business. You are a legend and the world, our economy, it wouldn't be the same without you! I work as a collaborator. So I know, (and then work as a "we" to help you realise), that just because your business is a dick, doesn’t mean you need to become one in order to control it or to get ahead. Because that’s what we’re all afraid of. That we need to be slick, salesy or cut throat (yick!) That we’re in the wrong line of business (or we’re the only ones) when we have that creeping sense of dread come Sunday at 3pm. That we have to be a grumpy old bastard to get anything properly. So here’s our good news: Your business doesn’t get to tell you what to do. Otherwise, why’d you leave your day job? Between the two of us here at Your Success Team, the majority of our careers was spent in funeral/nursing/clinical management (Robyn) and in the banking industry (Alana). You know - Death & Money. Two subjects that make you think a lot about what’s important...and how to have the resources to indulge in it. We’re both from big families (think siblings, cousins, laughter). We’ve led teams, that fused together over 30 languages. And, we were both told things like “girls are nurses, not doctors”... Here’s what we now believe: Collaboration greases the wheel. Contrarians do business better And diversity solves any problem. Plus, doing stuff with others makes it easier & a lot more fun! So, if, like us… You’ve got a pulse, and you want to enjoy your moments left in life… You want to get a handle on (and grow) your money… You want to stop letting business dick you around… You’d like to do things a bit differently than the norm… And you’re here to make your mark on the world, enjoying the way success looks on you…. Then you’re exactly where you need to be right now & we can’t wait to talk to you.
