Last week was one ‘out of the box’… a moment to reflect on the momentum that is gathering around entrepreneurship and leadership throughout the Australian business community. Some years ago I used to write posts about ‘what is coming up for me this week’ – but I think far more interesting is what I got up to in the previous week.
In the past seven days:
I have had a surfing lesson with Layne Beachley (What an inspirational Australian role model and leader)
I did three interviews for three vastly different audiences – all looking at different angles ie Virgin’s Voyeur (which will appear in December edition), Womens Agenda  and ABC TV News24 (which will air in a month)
I delivered three speaking engagements on three topics. One for CPA Australia national congress, one for Microsoft and one for Marie Claire Success Summit.
I attended two fantastic events to celebrate women’s achievements in the community. The 100 Women In Influence and the NSW Telstra Business Womens Awards.
I finalized the final final edit of my new book and sent it off to the publisher – set for a March release.
And I had numerous very important meetings to keep the game moving ahead with strategic opportunities for RedBalloon.
And capped the week off with a blog or two. Whilst finally sorting out my social media, I have just started to use Instagram, I have set up a public FaceBook page and also a public Google+ page (links below). Please join me as part of any of these conversations amplifying the entrepreneurial spirit of Australian business.

Grow & Scale Your Business by Naomi Simson

Tell Naomi a little bit about your business by completing the questions below. (It will take less than 60 seconds)

Answering your #1 Biggest Business Challenge question tip: 

Go beyond just saying "Poor Cashflow" or "Unreliable Team". 

Instead, give Naomi details & specifics on how this is currently your #1 Biggest Business Challenge. 

I.e. "Every month I'm struggling to pay my bills on time because there just isn't consistent cash flow coming into the business. I've tried sticking to budgets in the past & pay myself less to keep some extra funds aside for emergencies, but still every month there seems to be another financial fire to be put out. I don't know what to do about it, so I'm just grinding it out."
