Meet our speakers

 (think six figure launches, think booked out waitlists, think industry leaders)

And they started out just like you. Unsure, winging it, posting on social media and crossing their fingers…and desperately needing a road map to a prosperous, profitable business that works for their lifestyle. 

Wanna know how they became successful? 

THEY’RE GONNA TELL YOU AT THE CONFERENCE!

PANEL SPEAKERS

Stevie Dillon

Stevie Dillon is the founder of Lifestyle Business School, an online education business that teaches current and aspiring online founders how to build leveraged, expertise-based lifestyle businesses. Over the past seven years, Stevie has served over 2000 students in her various courses and programs.

Prior to starting her own business, Stevie worked for over 10 years in a number of high profile marketing roles, including with the Queensland Reds. She was formerly a lawyer in both Australia and London, having studied an LLB/Arts degree with High Distinction on a scholarship.

Stevie is a living, breathing case study for building a creator-based lifestyle business. After building a big business and experiencing “traditional success” in the form of high multi-six figure years, a growing team and industry clout, in 2022 she burnt it all to the ground and re-built it with a very specific lifestyle business “sweet spot” in mind.

The result? A wildly aligned and creatively fulfilling business that still earns four times the senior lawyer salary of her ex-peers, whilst working hours that allow her to be primary carer to her little ones.

Stevie shares a unique perspective on this style of business each week on her podcast, and has to date created seven stand alone online courses which together set out the entire roadmap for building a personal-brand based lifestyle business in her flagship online course, Lifestyle Business School.

Stevie deeply understands online business, online education and how to build a personal brand, and has dedicated the last seven years to consistently creating podcasts, blog content and online courses that cover every facet of these topics.

She has written on the topic of personal brand, online business and lifestyle design for Smart Company, Social Media Examiner, has presented workshops for Business Chicks and has appeared on TV with Kochies Business Builders.

With a big passion for words, language, and the delicate choices of how they can trigger different emotions and feelings in a reader, she and her team at Wordfetti are on a mission to spread the power of one of the most powerful tools we as humans have, being words, in igniting world-changing ideas, provoking thought, and driving impactful action.

It’s Time to Invest in Your Business Without Distraction

And by distraction, we mean the kids, the husband, the packet of Doritos in your cupboard you keep circling back to.

You’re SO overwhelmed just trying to get through your to-do list, that it’s hard to find the time to zoom out, recharge your batteries, and get the space you need to cultivate an unstoppable mindset, and build strategies for lasting success…not just in business, but in life as well.

Because you can limp through the first year or two in business overworking and underpaying yourself.

But lasting success? That’s where you need support and strategies to make sure your business is thriving and profitable in 5, 7 and 10 years plus.. 

This conference isn’t just here for cutting-edge business strategies (although there’s plenty of those), it’s here to refill your tank and give you real support for both your personal and professional life.

Because, let’s be honest – one of those is an attention whore (your biz), and your personal life and growth? 

She needs a bit of TLC.

And the conference (read: goodie bag) might be just what she needs.

Not Your Average Conference

She’s a bit fancy

Have you seen these pictures of our venue, the Calile? Then, like us, you’ll be swooning.

A Golden Success isn’t just about getting laser-focused on how to build a profitable business that works for your lifestyle, it’s also about pampering you, and giving the CEO of your business some love.

‘Cos when was the last time you ever did that? 

We rest our case.

Hate typical cringey networking events? Us too.

The #1 feedback I hear from Golden Brands networking events is “I normally HATE networking events, but I loved this.”

Zero weirdness. Zero forced small talk.

Lots of *natural* ways to connect with other small business owners (who, for the record, hate cringey networking events too!).

I made my most profitable business contact at a conference just like this one.

But first, who am I?

I’m Lisa Macale, mum of 2, wife of 1, annnd director of this conference, and Golden Brands, an online community for small business owners who want to grow their business. 

10 years and 3 businesses ago when I had just started my wedding styling business, I was sitting in a conference just like this one, when the host told us to introduce ourselves to the person next to us.

And sitting next to me? A small business owner also in the wedding industry. Also the contact who would go on to help me bring in over $10 000 revenue to my business.

This one connection was pivotal to my business. Would I have grown without her? Sure, but it would’ve taken a lot longer. 

Although we can do so much digitally, there are some things that the digital world can never replace:

  • making real life business connections
  • catching the energy of a room full of creativity, ambition and inspiration
  • undivided time to learn from the best (instead of signing up to another course you *think* you’ll finish)
  • learning the wellness and mindset strategies you need to help with long term business success

 

Can’t wait to see you at the conference…meet you at the snack table!

Lisa xx

Have you heard about our goodie bags? They’re basically famous at this point.

With last year’s clients saying things like “these are the best goodie bags EVER” and “it’s like an advent calendar of goodies to pick from everyday”, it’s hard to believe, but this year’s goodie bags are going to be even better.

Your business is gonna be fun again.
