Celebrating women in business: International Women’s Day 2023

In the spirit of International Women’s Day 2023, I’m giving a huge shout-out to all the trailblazing women entrepreneurs forging a path in the business world. And I’d particularly like to celebrate the incredible women business owners I’m lucky enough to work with every day.

As an online business manager, I encourage outsourcing in business because that’s how your business can grow. (It won’t grow if you’re too busy doing all the tasks yourself!)?

And for me, collaborating with these five women is how I outsource my everyday tasks and free up my time to focus on other areas of growing my business. By choosing to engage these female-led small businesses, I know I’m not only helping achieve my own business goals, but I’m also supporting a family, a livelihood and a dream.

I’m beyond excited to introduce you to this group of brilliant boss women as they tell you who they are in their own words. Whether through their innovative ideas, unique skills, unwavering support, or how they just *get me*, these women make my life easier and my business better in countless ways.?

And I can’t wait for you to meet them.

Happy International Women’s Day!

I’m Michell Marks, a business coach working with women who run a business from home. I’ve run a business from home since I was in my early 20s, and I love it! So much so that my mission is to help other women grow a home business they love too.

I’ve been working with Steph for a couple of years now, and she’s a powerhouse business owner who will go so far. Every successful business owner has their support system, one that gives us an outside perspective, opens us to new opportunities, ways of thinking, and to be there in the inevitable bad times. I have been part of that support system for Steph, and I love seeing her flourish because of it.

Vizual Worldwide

CEO

I’m the founder and CEO of Vizual Worldwide, a marketing and communications agency based in Brisbane. Our ultra-modern business model enables us to partner with brands all over the world to execute the crucial marketing activities that make them money, save them time and generate them more business! Coming from a background in marketing, journalism and PR/comms, I know exactly what it takes to produce exceptional marketing. I also know that directors, CEOs and managers don’t have the same time or experience to make it happen like I can, so I created Vizual Worldwide to do it for them! My company may enter your business as a marketing agency, but we become something much more: a trusted partner and an integral part of your day-to-day operations.

I’m currently working with Steph on her content marketing. We plan out the month’s content and strategically create graphics, videos and copy to fit the narrative she is telling. VAS has a loyal following, so I am always looking for new ways to ‘wow’ them and retain their interest in Steph’s amazing OBM services. Steph and I co-create the content plan, and then Vizual Worldwide manages the research, creation and implementation of the entire social media operation. We spend roughly 5 hours per month with Steph, and it’s truly amazing what we can achieve together in that time!

The content I write helps Steph explain the value of her services and how she helps small business owners overcome overwhelm and grow their business profile. I love working with Steph because she always knows what she wants to say. I just help her get it on the page in a way that resonates with her audience. Honestly, writing for Steph has helped me feel more in control of my own business. It’s been a massive win-win!

Who are you celebrating this International Women’s Day with?

I’m passionate about supporting women in business and helping owners build their enterprise around their families. And I like to think I practice what I preach. Which is why I choose to outsource much of my business support needs to female-led small businesses.

I love being part of a community of female business owners, cheering each other to succeed. And what better way to remind ourselves how we can help support other women in business than in the month of International Women’s Day.

I’m delighted you got to meet these five fabulous women who play an integral role in my business success. If you’re looking for any of the services they offer, I’d love you to reach out to them. I can wholeheartedly recommend Michelle, Liv, Melinda, Joh and Hayley to you!?
