Big or small - what’s one thing you want to make progress on? Could be: - launching something - finishing a task you’ve been avoiding - getting organised - showing up consistently - resting more - moving your body - posting content - making your first sale - simply surviving the week 😅 - Drop it below 👇Let’s celebrate progress, not perfection.

Happy Saturday everyone! I’m spending today recharging my batteries doing some creative projects. How does everyone else recharge and reset?

Hi All, I thought I'd share a few different tools I use to help me in our business, along with what I use them for. Feel free to add your own list in the comments too. 🤗 1. Monday.com (free version) - to do list & tracker I use monday to build out a really comprehensive to do list, and then also have an upcoming events section - this helps me plan my work more effectively and I can see everything in the one space. They recently released a new feature that allows you to have multi-level boards which has also been great. I did move over to Notion for a short period and really loved that too, but moved back to Monday because I just needed an easy "to do" list that I could move around and group items etc. 2. ChatGPT (paid) - content writing & brainstorming I use ChatGPT like a search engine these days and to help me find / explore information - I have a good history built up and so use it to also help me pull together articles and posts - I've trained it over the years for my tone of voice, but have started to transition more over to Claude 3. Claude (paid) - brainstorming, automations & creating documents samples / templates I've only just started using Claude about a month ago, so am still learning how to optimise it. The first thing I had it do was go through and clean up all my files in on my laptop - it was amazing! I just saw that Claude have released some new workflows and automations to help with Small Businesses so I'm excited to learn more about these and see if I can use them in our business / help others set them up in their businesses. 4. Google Suite (paid) - emails + general ops management This gives us our custom emails @milkingducks.com + @duckduckpig.com.au emails as well as access to google drive where we try to store all our important docs so they're in the cloud not on our devices. 5. Canva (paid) - content creation We use Canva to create social media tiles, slide decks, anything creative really. 6. Square - POS for our roadside stall + markets

Hi everyone, First up, a huge thank you for being here. We’ve already got a group of seriously impressive women in this community, and I’m really excited to see how it grows and where it takes us. I also want to be honest - since announcing and launching this group, I’ve felt a bit guilty that I haven’t given it the attention and energy I originally intended. I had plans to share more resources, run virtual events, and actively bring more female founders, entrepreneurs (and those aspiring to be) into the space - and I haven’t quite delivered on that yet. So, here’s my commitment moving forward: I’m going to be more present. I’ll be posting regularly, sharing useful articles, podcasts, and insights, and creating space for meaningful conversations. And I’d love for you to do the same - share what you’re working on, ask questions, start discussions. This is our space, and the more we all put into it, the more valuable it becomes. Pull up a chair - we’re just getting started 🤍

Hi, I'm Nikki 👋 I’m a tech founder, small business owner, and someone who’s spent a lot of time figuring things out the hard way. A lot of my business journey has been… pretty isolating. Late nights. Figuring things out on my own. Not having many people I could ask questions or bounce ideas off. I needed help - I just didn’t know where to go. Then something unexpected happened. I applied for an award (mostly to try and get funding)… and found myself surrounded by a group of incredibly smart, generous, kick-ass women. And it hit me: This is what’s been missing. Fast forward a little, and I found myself sitting in rooms hearing the same conversations over and over again… "There's a funding gap..." "We need more female founders..." “Why aren’t more women applying or showing up…” But the truth is — there are already so many women building incredible businesses. They’re just often overlooked because they don’t fit the mould. Or the spaces themselves aren’t designed for them - for women balancing work, family, and everything in between. And I was tired of hearing the same solutions too… More mentoring. More coaching. When what I (and so many others) really needed was: 👉 People in it with you 👉 A space to ask questions 👉 Access to funding, programs, and opportunities 👉 Real, practical support Because doing this alone is hard. But together? We can actually change things. The goal is simple - to reach 1,000 members and create real impact. To build a space where women support women (and allies). And as we grow, to create real opportunities - funding, scholarships, and support for women building businesses. So welcome - I'm really glad you're here 🤍 I’d love to hear - what are you working on at the moment? Pull up a chair. 🪑
