In this highlight episode of How to Run a Successful Business and Still Have a Life, Stacey dives into part three of her cashflow series—focusing on the importance of surrounding yourself with the right financial support team. She openly shares how she once tried doing everything herself, from payroll to tax, and why bringing experts into her corner transformed her understanding, confidence, and decision-making around money. Stacey outlines who belongs on your financial “cheerleader” list—from bookkeepers and accountants to advisors who help you plan for the future—and explains how each of these professionals helps lighten the load and protect your business. She also encourages business owners to ask questions, be vulnerable, and understand that clarity comes from collaboration, not from doing it all alone. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by numbers, unsure where to look, or worried you’re “doing it wrong,” this episode gives you permission to stop struggling in silence and start building the team you need. Plus, Stacey invites you to join her Cashflow Made Simple webinar for even more practical support on your financial journey. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

She shares insights from her coaching clients, many of whom feel hesitant or overwhelmed by finances, and explains how simple accountability practices can transform confidence around money. Stacey also reveals her own learning curve with business finances and why education is the key to making informed decisions.

She explains the importance of buffer blocks (or white space/flamingo time) to prevent burnout and allow for flexibility when the day doesn’t go as planned. Stacey also emphasises the power of colour-coding your calendar so you can visually assess balance across work, family, rest, and other priorities. Listeners are encouraged to stop doing things “because they’ve always been done that way” and instead find faster, simpler, or more efficient alternatives—sometimes eliminating tasks altogether. Stacey also dives into the value of saying no to coffee meetings, replacing them with short, purposeful 20-minute check-ins that respect everyone’s time. Finally, she recommends asking: “Could this meeting be replaced with a video?”—a simple question that often saves hours and keeps teams focused. This episode is filled with practical shifts you can apply immediately to reclaim your time and start!

In this popular episode of How to Run a Successful Business and Still Have a Life, Stacey dives into one of her favourite topics: creating a powerful vision for your business. Building on last week’s episode about discovering your why, this conversation explores how a clear vision can guide your company, inspire your team, and create meaningful impact in your community.

She also breaks down her simple five-step structure for writing a strong and effective vision: Who is doing it? What are they doing? Who are they doing it for? How are they doing it? And what is the ultimate impact? Using her own business, Port Macquarie Performing Arts, as an example, Stacey demonstrates how a vision goes far beyond what you do — it communicates the transformation you create and how you want your customers to feel long after they’ve worked with you.
