How To Run A Business

I’ve been in business for about 30 years with my husband, who’s also known as “The Italian” and we’re in the Mining and Resources space.

A little bit of background story that’s got us to this point, happened about 12 years ago. Our business in the mining resources space went through explosive growth. So I gave up my job where I was teaching business owners particularly.

I took over the business full time and the business grew very, very quickly. We had huge projects, a team of 25, and then the industry collapsed.

In 2014 we found ourselves in “digger’s ditch” as the Aussies would say. We were in a world of trouble.

We almost closed our doors, very nearly closed the doors, and lost everything. From there, I spent about a year and a half creating a funnel that would let that business survive, so we could rebuild.

Now, as we did rebuild, the difference that we’ve done this time is that we don’t have a team of 25 anymore. We actually have higher revenue than we once did, but we have a very small team.

Our business is very heavily systemized. It’s streamlined. It’s automated. And we’ve built a really good entrepreneurial life.

My goal is to share what we know. I’m a business strategist, I have an MBA, and I’ve done the groundwork. And my mission is to share with as many entrepreneurs as I can. So that we do change those numbers because the staggering amount of small businesses that go under really does need to be changed.
