SCALE OR STAY SMALL…???
It’s an important question I urge all small business owners to consider.
Sometimes staying small sets you free faster… if you’ve got the right plan in place!
A few days ago after a long hike in the mountains of Serbia I stumbled across this beautiful little small business on the side of the road.
A local village shop full of hand made goodies from healing potions and preserves to many flavours of Serbia’s traditional drink rakia.It made me think of that famous fable about the Mexican fisher man and the American MBA Executive…
THE STORY…
An American investment banker is vacationing in a small coastal Mexican village when he notices a fisherman with a small boat coming to shore with a few large, high-quality fish.
Impressed, the banker asks the fisherman how long it took him to catch them. The fisherman replies that it only took a little while.
The banker, seeing a business opportunity, suggests that the fisherman should spend more time fishing. "If you do," he explains, "you could catch more fish and buy a bigger boat.
Then, with a bigger boat, you could go farther out to sea and catch even more fish. Soon, you could buy a fleet of boats. You could then bypass the middleman and sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing, and distribution.
Eventually, you could move to Mexico City, then Los Angeles, and finally New York City, where you could run your expanding company."
The fisherman, intrigued, asks,
"And then what?"
The banker smiles and says, "That's the best part! You could make millions and millions of dollars and become very rich. You could then retire, move to a small coastal village, and spend your days sleeping late, fishing a little, playing with your children, taking a siesta with your wife, and enjoying your evenings with friends and family."
The fisherman looks at the banker, smiles, and says,
"But that's what I'm doing now."
🤪
Sometimes in business we catch ourselves chasing our tails… running in circles…
Building our empire… and trying to get to a place we could reach much faster with much less stress if we just stayed small.
When was the last time you stopped and asked yourself… where is this all going?
WHAT IS THE END GOAL?
Thinking about that and building a freedom plan over a business plan is a big paradigm shift… but one that could truly set you free.What are your thoughts?

ITALY IN ADELAIDE…
What a wonderful few weeks we’ve had with family, friends and food!
Thank you Susan Rusalen and Ian for taking me and Luca out on the boat at Port Victoria to catch all that Whiting!
It was amazing to see Chef Luca Salvadori turn it into a three course meal to wow the senses…
Thank you Deborah Rugari of The House of Healing for hosting the Italian Masterclass in your beautiful space in the hills… and to everyone who came to soak up the wisdom and flavours of authentic Italian cooking…
Thank you to my beautiful family, Julie Nevid, Jazz, and Jess for opening your hearts to Luca and making him feel like one of us…
And of course to my dear friend Amber Chapman and her family for taking us in and giving us a place to live the last eight weeks!
Blending our families together over Easter was so much fun…
Dorthy (from Cansas) always said…
“There’s no place like home… “
It’s been almost a year since I’ve been officially homeless but in that time I’ve felt right at home in so many wonderful places with such beautiful people around me…
Oh…
And most of all - thank you Luca for coming all this way to experience my world, and for winning a new job in Italy and inviting me to come on that adventure with you…
Next stop South of Italy where we have a free home to live in, a new chapter of life to write, and an incredible country to explore.
Next week is my last event in Adelaide for a while… a three day workshop with a small group of people where together we’ll build Freedom Plans around LIFE, LEADERSHIP & PROSPERITY!!
For those of you coming I can’t wait to spend this time together… and Luca is excited to feed you all with his delicious food.
It’s going to be such a blast…

THE MAGIC OF PROSPERITY 🪄
Does money work for you? Or do you work for it?
One of the most valuable lessons I was taught as a child was from my entrepreneurial Papa…
He said “Jodie, learn how to make money work for you so you don’t waste your whole life working for it!”
Have you ever felt like the pursuit of money is robbing you of your freedom?
It can happen in a multitude of ways…
😩 SURVIVAL MODE - Being stuck in a job you hate but need to pay the bills…
💵 GOLDEN HANDCUFFS - A high paying role where you feel like you’re selling your soul…
🥹 BUSY IN BUSINESS - Doing your own thing but working crazy long hours for little reward…
🤪 SIDE HUSTLE SCRAMBLE - Having a crack at multiple things trying to generate money on the side…
Making money through work you love to do is the first step toward finding your freedom…
BUT if you dont have a plan to get the money you earn work for you the pursuit of money is never ending.
On day three of Freedom Fest 2025 you’ll do something 95% of the population will never do…
Build your Personalised Prosperity Plan. 🙌🏼
The Prosperty Plan is your personal road map toward financial freedom. Using the Ultimate Freedom Calcultor you’ll…
🧮 Crunch your numbers
🥅 Map out your goals, and
🚀 Calculate your fastest (and smartest) path to your goal income and dream life.
Using this simple yet powerful process we’ve helped hundreds of people transition from being stuck in a financial funk to building wealth and living their dream life. 🙌🏼
And check out who our guest experts are on day three…
💻 My son Jazz and his business partner James will teach you how they grew a random sale on Facebook Market Place into a national ebay store that makes up to $10k a week in sales!
💸 Money Mary Palaric will show you how to break free from the Golden Hand Cuffs and become a self made millionaire so you can retire in style early!
❤️ Jeni Watson will teach you how to build one of the most valuable assets you can own - a thriving community that follows you where ever you go!

WHO NEEDS A HEALING?
Have you met Dr Teresa Ibarra? She’s the resident Mexican Medicine Woman inside the Find Your Freedom community…
Dr Teresa is an Iridologist, Holistic Healer and certified Fast Like a Girl Coach who’s passionate about helping people heal their bodies naturally.
Through her signature program Metabolic Magic Teresa had helped people heal chronic illnesses, regain energy and vitality and reboot their metabolism to let go of stubborn unwanted weight.
She’s bringing all her healing powers to Freedom
Fest to teach you the science of iridolgy so you’ll discover what your eyes reveal about your health…
And even more importantly you’ll learn exactly what support your bodies needs to heal naturally and function optimally.
Teresa’s knows first hand what’s it’s like to be diagnosed with a chronic illness and learn to live with it because there is no cure.
When she was told to prepare for a life on prescription medication to manage the increasing symptoms of Graves Disease it was a fate she chose not to accept. 🙅🏼♀️
Teresa put her faith in the bodies ability to heal itself if she took the right action.
Through a combination of fasting, energy work and some simple adjustments to her lifestyle Teresa achieved what she was told was impossible and healed from Graves Disease.
Teresa’s experience set her on a mission to help others reverse signs of sickness and return to a naturally healthy state following the same simple steps she did.
If youve got a goal to increase your energy, heal from sickness or shed unwanted weight you’ll love Teresa’s session on Metabolic Magic at Freedom Fest! 🙌🏼
Oh and if you want to find out exactly what your eyes say about your health you can book an irididology reading over the three days as well!
I can feel a healing coming on 😉🙌🏼
