EP 194: Build A Super Successful Online Business - Bernadette Schwerdt

What is the entrepreneurial mindset needed to create an online business?

Bernadette Schwerdt is a recognised authority of online marketing and the author of "How To Build An Online Business: Australia’s Top Digital Disruptors Reveal Their Secrets For Launching and Growing an Online Business." Bernadette also coaches business owners on how to be outstanding speakers and copywriters. As a commentator for ABC TV, BRW, B & T, The Australian Financial Review and Sky News, Bernadette is the go-to person for online marketing, sales and promotion.
​
Here's what we discuss in this week's show:​​​
  • When people ask Bernadette what she does, how does she like to reply?
  • The book opens by talking about how quickly things are changing. Do we actually understand how quick?
  • Why many leaders have their head in the sand?
  • Effective ways to test an idea
  • Amazon is just warming up. What does Bernadette see happening?
  • The term being an entrepreneur has become cool. Why is it different from old school "I’m starting a business?"
  • What is the entrepreneurial mindset we require to create an online business?
  • What is the dialogue in the mind of an entrepreneur?
  • Is it much harder to start a business today than 10 years ago?
  • Minimum Viable Product, MVP
  • “What is the next big thing” is the wrong question. What is the right question?
  • Where does gut feel fit into the entrepreneur mindset? When should you really trust your gut?
  • The Wall of No
  • Bernadette is a former advertising executive. What is the state of copywriting in business?
  • Words can make a difference. Do we place enough importance on our words on a website, brochure, or post?
  • What changes when you say I am a writer, or I am a copywriter?
  • Bernadette believes platforms like Freelancer.com and eBay can help or hinder small business. What is the dichotomy?
  • Should I create my own website?
  • How to know you have a good web developer
  • What is the typical hiccup people face with their websites?
  • Are we sceptical of ideas, products and offers when we see brands using influencers to entice us?
  • What is the value of PR today as a form of marketing?

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”
― Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967
