38: MMA Success Stories: Bridget Johns of Be Simply Free on getting featured in the Australian Financial Review
Media MagnetShow Notes
It's Launch Week again for the Media Masters Academy and to celebrate I'm bringing you a couple of mini-episodes of the podcast featuring two of my most recent course alumni who've been smashing their goals and getting featured in the media.
As female founders, women-led businesses, side hustlers and entrepreneurs we've got a LOT on our plates both in business and in life. I don't want your Media and PR strategy to be just another chore on your To DO List inside the everyday operations of your business. It needs to be simple, realistic to incorporate into your working week and lay the foundations for media opportunities to continue to flood through your door, year after year.
In my experience in this game women also struggle with overcoming imposter syndrome, selling themselves and releasing they have value to ad as experts in their field. Today I'm chatting to Bridget Johns of Be Simply Free, who completed the Media Masters Academy in July.
Bridget, an Organisation Expert who specialises in optimising space and time had all those sneaking reservations and more about putting herself out there and growing her business using the media. Now she's being featured in the Australian Financial Review.
The doors to the Media Masters Academy are OPEN for 8 DAYS ONLY!

Enough of the box-tickers. My guest today says most small business owners have, at some point, buried their head in the sand about their numbers, come to her flying completely blind, and finally hit the point where enough is enough.
"I think we've attached a lot of success to raising capital." When a business raises $25 million and gets a $100 million valuation, we treat it like a win. My guest today says that's not actually a marker of success at all, and understanding the difference could change how you think about your own business.
Most people who sell a business they've poured five years of blood, sweat and no salary into would take the win and put their feet up for a while. My guest today looked at her payout and thought, "Great, let's do it all again, but harder, faster, and with a lot more on the line this time."
There are 2.2 million self-employed Australians. Nearly half of small business owners aren't contributing to their own super. And most of them are telling themselves the same thing: my business is my retirement plan.
They beat out 14 other applicants for the lease. They opened with 5,000 local social media followers already waiting for them. They had a line out the door on winter mornings. Their biggest day was 444 coffees in a little suburban cafe with just two people behind the counter.
