What a fantastic last improv drop in class for 2023! Although this has been a very hard year for me health-wise and therefore mentally, I have found much joy, respite, love, support and wonderful distraction playing with great friends, students and colleagues! Never underestimate the power of play! Thanks to everyone who has supported me and Improv Hub in 2023! Here's to another year of joy and connection for 2024!
Ahh, social media ā a necessary evil in the world of small businessā¦and generally a very large pain in our arses.
Sometimes it feels like the only way you can get ahead is to expose more skin šor choreograph an elaborate dance routine šš¼ But does that really lead to long-term loyalty and more $$$ when youāre a bookkeeper or business coach?!
Tune in to our latest episode as we unpack this beast!

As business owners, coaches and indeed humans, we tend to want (and expect) āTa Daā moments every day - usually in the form of impressive actions and quick results.
Consequently we often have unrealistic expectations, we over promise and under deliver, and we put a lot of unnecessary pressure on ourselves š¤Æ
That doesnāt sound like much fun, does it?
Tune into the latest episode to find out why weāre addicted to Ta Da moments, and how to find magic in the mundane šŖ

Great question to think about in business........
Have you ever uttered the words - āIām no good at marketingā or āIām just not a natural salespersonā?
WELL STOP IT!
The fact is, as small business owners we have to learn how to suck that s**t up and put ourselves out there ā otherwise, we donāt got no business!
So in this episode weāre redefining how we approach sales and marketing with smarketing expert Abbie White!
Spoiler alert! Hereās what you can expect:
* We draw inspiration from 1950ās courtship to discover how sales and marketing can form an everlasting love
* Abbie distils her wealth of knowledge around sales and marketing into simple āpractivitiesā every business owner can do to get better results
Thereās SO much gold in this episode, we know youāll get a whole lot out of it ā we certainly didā¦as a result Lindsay no longer assumes the foetal position every time she hears the word āmarketingā ā thatās life changing!

Congratulations Lindsay! Happy Online Birthday Improv hub!š„³
Happy Birthday to us, Happy Birthday to us! Happy Birthday dear Improv Hub, Happy Birthday to us! Hip hip hooray!!! It is our 3 years ONLINE birthday! We started IRL two years before this but now we are the ONLY ONLINE DEDICATED IMPROV school in Australia! We love online improv! It offers people from all walks of life, all around the world the opportunity to play and have fun- and even use skills that transfer to living a better life!
Online improv is particularly helpful for those in regional or remote areas that have no access to an improv school and to introverts who feel too shy to start improv 'in real life'. Online improv is also more convenient for those with limited time or mobility. Improv Hub is super passionate about online improv and its applications and we look forward to many more years of serving our community! A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has ever taken a class and or recommended Improv Hub. It is A THING because of YOU!!!! Eternally grateful. # # # YES AND.........

Are you answering your phone when it rings? Hmmmmm Lindsay is pretty naughty find out why on the latest episode of https://banterpreneurs.com/dear-technology/
Do you, like us, have a love/hate thing going on with your technology?š±
On the one hand it opens up so many opportunities that couldnāt otherwise exist (like Banterpreneurs!), but on the other it can be all consuming and feel like itās running your life š¤Æ
Itās clear that we canāt live without tech, but are there some different ways we can incorporate it into our lives to ensure it doesnāt steal the show and leave our passions, loved ones and happiness waiting in the wings?

How annoying is it when you invest time and effort into something, only to realise itās not working out how you hoped or not what you want to do anymore?
Before you get too livid, know that it wasnāt all in vain - every experience and every little thing learned can contribute to your future successā¦
ā¦as Mike Drohan from so nicely reminded us when he came to chat.

Are you shoulding all over yourself in business?!
Business can be a slippery little sucker - without realising, it can trick you into thinking you āshouldā be doing all sorts of things:
š» Throw money at Facebook ads
šø Do this very expensive ālife changingā course
š Scale, scale, scale!
But is that what you really need at this moment? Will it allow you to achieve what you really wantā¦without burning yourself out and compromising the other important areas of your life?
If the answer is no to those questionsā¦f**k it off! Aināt nobody got time for walking someone elseās path - take inspiration from what others are doing, sure, but the only path to true success is to just do you š
We loved talking all about this with our special guest and business legend, Andrew Griffiths š

Do magical solutions exist in business? šŖ
Tune into the latest episode of our podcast where we unpack this very question - with our special guest Lucas Dixon, who just happens to be an expert in the psychology of magical thinking and how it affects business and entrepreneurial decision-making.

The Banterpreneurs finally met in real life!!!
And what else would we do but drink tea and talk s**tā¦our two favourite things! š«š¤Ŗ
Uppy Improv Hub
How much would you give for a magical solution that would get your business to where you want it to be ASAP?
Well actually, a lot of business owners regularly give quite a lot - of money, time and energy - but sadly the solution often does a disappearing act and their business doesn't get the magical momentum they expected...and needed.
We say "they" but let's be honest, we've all done it - whether it's a 7 step framework, a transformational program or manifestation meditations - we've all invested in something because we've believed it will fast track us to success.
This type of belief can be referred to as "magical thinking", so we invite you to join us as we explore this mystical mindsetā¦
ā¦With our special guest Lucas Dixon - expert in the psychology of magical thinking and how it affects business and entrepreneurial decision-making...this guy knows his s**t y'all! Find him on Twitter:
With the start of a new year now is a great time to ensure your focus is in the right place and not lost behind any smoke and mirrors. This episode will help you to do that with a beautiful blend of rants, randomness, science and solutions!

Never has a truer word been spoken.
This gem serves as a reminder that when you peel off all the layers weāre all fundamentally the same, so you may as well kiss those judgements and comparisons that are making you feel like s**t goodbye šš¼
