Oh hey business owner. If I had to guess, you're smart, capable and ready to stop getting in your own way so you can build a business that's profitable, successful and actually fun to run.
Each week, I'll be sharing conversations, practical strategies and lessons from businesses, founders, creatives and entrepreneurs who are building businesses on their own terms.
Hit follow for convos about marketing, sales, pricing, visibility, mindset, business growth, highs, lows and the crunchy bits in between.
20. Creativity in a Commercial World. How to Find Your Voice and Stand Out
How to Turn Your Creativity Into a Sustainable Business Without Sacrificing Yourself. Fleur Woods on creativity, purpose and playing the long game.
What if building a successful business didn't mean working harder, doing more or following someone else's rules?
In this episode of the Best Business Podcast, I'm joined by contemporary fibre artist, author and creative entrepreneur Fleur Woods for a conversation about building a business that feels unmistakably yours.
We talk about finding your creative voice, navigating burnout, making money from your work, dealing with imposter syndrome and learning to play the long game.
If you're building a creative business and wondering whether there's a better way to do it, this conversation is for you.
I've been there and so has Fleur.

I love a good collab. They can help you reach new audiences, build credibility, generate leads and create opportunities you couldn’t achieve on your own.
But, just because a collaboration sounds exciting doesn’t mean it’s a good business decision.
In this episode of the Best Business Podcast, I’m sharing how to choose the right collab partner, set clear expectations and create collaborations that move your business forward, without draining your time, energy or bank account.
Plus, I’ve created a practical pre-collab checklist to help you work through the key questions before you commit.
Because the goal isn’t to collaborate for the sake of it. It’s to create something that benefits both businesses and continues to deliver value long after the project ends.
👉 Download the checklist here (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aYO2QRvhTyRnwd3WCUf1eOh-02KhWyr1zSRlBNo1bLc/edit?usp=sharing)
I know you know this but for larger or higher-risk collaborations, remember that a checklist isn't a substitute for appropriate legal advice.

18. How to Get More Clients: 5 Sales Strategies I’m Using
Want More Clients? 5 Sales Strategies That Work for Service Based Businesses.
In this episode of the Best Business Podcast, I’m sharing five sales strategies that are working in 2026, particularly for service-based businesses.
I’m a big believer that business can be easy and sales can be fun.
I break down five practical sales strategies you can start using in your own business, along with the habits I’m leaving behind as I head into 2027.
Before you go off adding another sales tactic to your to-do list, ask yourself a couple of question:
Do I know where my best sales opportunities come from?
Am I consistently creating and nurturing those opportunities?
Is my offer clear enough that the right person can see themselves in it?
Consistent sales rarely come from one brilliant marketing campaign, they come from a business that continually creates, nurtures and converts opportunities.
You don’t need to become better at convincing people to buy. You need to become better at creating opportunities for the right people who want to buy from you.
If you're ready to stop winging it and start planning your next year with more clarity and intention, I'd love you to join my two-part online masterclass on November 25 and 27.
At this 2-part workshop, you will be guided by Rosie as you create a business plan that gets you more clients, more revenue and more headspace in 2027.
When: November 25th & 27th (for 90 mins each day)
12pm - 1:30pm NZT
Includes a 30 min Q&A
Where: Google meet How Much: $39 +GST for a complete business plan for Q1 & beyond
The goal? To stop guessing, focus on what matters and build a business that supports the life you want.

If this episode gave you something useful to think about, share it with another business owner who could use a little less overwhelm and a little more clarity in their days.
And if you're enjoying the Best Business Podcast, I'd love you to leave a review (you're the best).
