About this listen

 The Midlife Business Show with Suzanne Mountain will be exploring running a business during midlife in the 21st century and how we go about building a business in a digital world when we grew up with typewriters, memos and phones permanently attached to the wall! There’ll be a mix of powerful online business strategies from how to attract a following on social media to which tech to use to host your course or even how to set goals and make plans. Plus Suzanne will be interviewing other midlife business owners, just like you, who’ll share their stories about the magical and messy ups and downs of this phase of our life. She’ll also be weaving in learnings on neuroscience and psychology and business insights from my 30 years of leadership experience in Fortune 500 companies. Her mission is to help you realise that you’re not too old to grow a profitable business that supports the lifestyle you want. Whether that’s going all in to make the much talked about ‘6 figures’ or like me, moving to your dream house by the sea. So please grab a cuppa and settle down in your favourite chair for a listen.

    Ep 046: What Advice Would You Give to Your Younger Self?
    Dec 20 2022
    Welcome to the final episode of the Midlife Business Show for 2022. I launched the podcast back in February and over the year I've had the pleasure of chatting with 10 wonderful women, all of whom are running incredible businesses, ranging from cookery schools to authors, graphic design, decluttering, weight loss coaching and using numerology to grow your business. They are all incredible.  These women have so many talents, but they're also such beautiful souls that it's been my pleasure to work with them during 2022, and also to interview them and share their wisdom with you, and it's this wisdom that I want you to hear today.  One of the questions that I ask each of my guests is, What advice would you give to your younger self? Now, this is a powerful question, and of course, by the time we're in midlife, we have so many opportunities to reflect on how we were when we were younger, and how the benefit of hindsight would help us if we could have that. So my guests have answered these questions authentically and from their hearts. This episode is a compilation of their answers, and it's creating an episode that is just jam-packed with wisdom and humour and all the beauty of midlife. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together, Episode Highlights: (00:43) Introduction(02:36) Sonia Grimes(03:30) Yve Audaer(03:56) Joanne Burke(05:14) Shelley Mason(06:57) Jane Webber(08:30) Vicki Nicolson(10:31) Jo Hall(11:35) Sharon Sargeant (12:28) Jo Soley(12:56) Jen Roach    About Suzanne: Suzanne Mountain is an Online Business Coach and Course Creation Expert for business owners 45+ who want to monetise their online presence without spending all day scrolling on social media.

    Ep 045: Reflections on 2022 from a midlife business start up coach
    Dec 13 2022

    This week, I thought that I would use this episode to reflect on 2022, what a year it’s been. I think we've seen people doing their best to get back to living their lives as they were before the pandemic. People have been getting out and feeling that need for connection, feeling that need to get together face-to-face whenever they can. 

    It's been a year like no other, so take the time to conduct a review of 2022 and I'd love to know what your reflections are on the year

    Episode Highlights:

    • (02:42) 2022 has been a big year for women and the menopause
    • (04:03) It’s been a year of strong women
    • (05:31) The world of social media continues to change
    • (07:30) A year of protests and strikes
    • (09:43) Ask yourself the following questions to help reflect on 2022
    • (12:55) When we hear bad news it’s important to dig out some good news too

  • Ep 044: How to Reduce Stress and Make Every Day Your Best Day Yet

    Ep 044: How to Reduce Stress and Make Every Day Your Best Day Yet
    Dec 6 2022
    In today’s episode, I want to talk to you about making each day your best day. It's December and 2022 is nearly over and when I look at social media, I see people feeling really stressed. Really stressed about the state of the economy, about all the things they have to do on their to-do list, about the things they hear on the radio and on TV, and let's face it, stress shortens your life. So today, as we finish the year, I want to talk to you about what you can do to help yourself, and how you can structure your day in ways that support and enrich your life. You can't plan for everything, but you can be proactive about scheduling and creating your working days. Episode Highlights: (02:41) Figure out your perfect day by asking yourself these 9 questions (04:55) When we set up a business remember we’re creating it for us not just our clients (06:14) Think about sketching out your ideal week (07:28) Watch out for all-or-nothing statements (09:34) Look for solutions instead of drowning in stress About Suzanne: Suzanne Mountain is an Online Business Coach and Course Creation Expert for business owners 45+ who want to monetise their online presence without spending all day scrolling on social media.
