  • Your Mid Year Systems Check In
    Jun 28 2025

    Welcome to this weeks’ episode of The Australian Small Business Show!

    In this weeks episode we are following up with our conversation last week with James Brown from BizTech Guru – on systems!

    Today we’re talking about why a new financial year is a great time to re visit your systems and look at what’s working, what’s not, and what you need to fix first.

    We chat about doing an audit on where you’re spending your time, and where you’ve experienced some pain points or bottle necks over the last 12 months to look at where things need to change, and then zooming up to take a helicopter view to look at systems in all areas of your business including:

    Client Onboarding

    Finances

    People & HR

    Marketing & Social Media

    Internal Communications & SOPs

    So, how to choose what to work on first?

    Take a look at where you can get maximum impact with smallest effort and pick a quick win to get you started and get the momentum moving.

  • The Core Systems Every Business Needs with James Brown from BizTech Guru
    Jun 21 2025

    Welcome to this weeks’ episode of The Australian Small Business Show!

    Today we are joined by special guest James Brown from BizTech Guru to talk all things systems and processes in your business.

    James is a Certified Master SYSTEMologist® | SME Technology Expert | Time-Saving Specialist | Business Systemisation Pro.

    James stands at the forefront of business operation simplification, with a rich 20-year history spanning from manufacturing to tourism, currently specialising in construction and building trades.

    Through his venture, BizTech Guru, he introduces business owners to SYSTEMology and worksclosely with David Jenyns, the founder of systemHUB and the SYSTEMology movement, diving deep into the methodology and building out course curriculums.

    James has presented to over a thousand people about SYSTEMology and has worked directly with over a hundred business owners himself to implement this methodology.

    In this episode we chat to James about the core systems every business needs, and it doesn’t start where you think. It starts with where the business owner is spending their time, and what systems we need to free us up, to focus on the important things.

    James talks about systemising to create leverage – at every level.

  • Self Care is Not Selfish
    Jun 14 2025

    Welcome to this weeks’ episode of The Australian Small Business Show!

    In this weeks episode we’re sharing something we’ve noticed amongst the clients we are working with at the moment – that business is a little tough for some right now.

    So we decided to share our belief that self care is not selfish, and discuss some of the strategies that we are using to help us stay resilient even when things are tough.

    We share the routines, activities and hobbies that help us now, and how these have evolved over the years, but these are just ideas, this is about finding strategies that work for you – things you can do to keep yourself grounded and present, no mater what else is happening.
