Chill & Prosper with Denise Duffield-Thomas

How to Deal with Refunds in Your Business

In this week's episode of Chill & Prosper, we’re talking about how to deal with refunds in your business. 

This is just a rite of passage in business. It's going to happen if it hasn't already. 

And it's going to bring up some stuff for you - like not being liked or not doing a good enough job.

But it's okay. It doesn't mean you're a bad entrepreneur. It's quite the opposite. 

I’ve learned a lot about refunds in the past - how to reduce them (I have two incredible tips for you) and how to feel better about them too! 

Business and Babies: How to Thrive as a Parent and Entrepreneur

In this week's episode of Chill & Prosper, I'm talking about thriving in your business as a parent and as an entrepreneur. 

I’ve had three kids while I’ve been growing my business - so I know a bit about the struggle! 

If you don't have kids, still tune in! 

Because to be honest, having kids made me a really good CEO because I had to make some very smart decisions - that turned out to be profitable ones too. 

Do you Need a Big Team to be Successful?

How to Stop Bartering & Discounting in Your Business

In this week's episode of Chill & Prosper, we’re talking about awkward money conversations (my favourite topic!).

Talking about money doesn’t have to be so painful, I promise! 

Spoiler alert: People asking for discounts or bartering arrangements and clients asking for discounts, this WILL happen. 

Unfortunately, I've seen people completely quit their business because they hate talking about money and saying no. 

That doesn't have to be you.

I promise it can be easy peasy! Let’s turn those awkward conversations into empowering opportunities for you!

Are You Too Flaky to Be Successful in Business?

This week's episode of Chill & Prosper is for anyone who has been told that they're too flaky to be successful in business.

Maybe you can’t finish any of your ideas - or you’re struggling to find the perfect business idea.

If you can’t commit to one idea, if you have a million domain names or you worry you won’t ever make money, this episode is for you! 

I'm really excited about this one, because I’ve been there myself! 

How to Double Your Income (Without Working Harder)

Taking Your Business to Six Figures & Beyond

In this week's episode of Chill & Prosper, we are NOT talking about million-dollar businesses.  We’re talking about six-figure businesses.  I've been at the million-dollar mark for about 6 years, but so many entrepreneurs start out aiming for that six-figure level. So today’s episode is for you!  If you're already at that six-figure level, can I tell you a secret?  It's pretty much the same stuff to get you to the next level, too.  Today’s podcast episode of Chill & Prosper is perfect for everyone.

The Unsexy Truth About Running a 7-Figure Business

In this week's episode of Chill & Prosper, we are talking about some of the unsexy truths behind running a seven figure business.   Now, I love in this podcast we can talk about all stages of business. So, we talk a lot about when you're starting out, when you get hitting those transition points, when you're hitting those symbolic levels like when you get to six figures. 

You’re Too Expensive

Welcome to another exciting episode of Chill & Prosper! Today we’re talking about a really juicy and very common thing that happens in business. If you have to deal with money, asking for money, if you have any press on your product or service, you are going to hear something at some point, it is: you're too expensive.

How does that feel?

Being the Mickey Mouse in Your Business

In today’s new  episode of Chill & Prosper, I have such a fun show for you.  I want to talk about being the Mickey Mouse in your business.

You might not know this, but I come from a performing background - I danced my whole life.  I was always in the dance studio from age 8 and then from the age of 16, I worked for a company that did Bugs Bunny shows all around Australia.  So, we did Looney Tunes shows back in the day where there's Bugs Bunny, Sylvester, Tweety Bird, Elmer Fudd, all that kind of stuff. And these shows happened in the school holidays in Australia at  Shopping Centres.  And so this is what I spent my school holidays doing, working as a performer. Later, I also performed as Millie the Echidna, an official mascot for the Sydney 2000 Olympic games. So I love looking at things through a dance and a performing lens.

Join me for the business lessons that I’ve learnt from being a performer.
