Tired of Empty Promises? Here's a Real Resource That Actually Helps You Grow
The Problem with "8-Figure Business" Hype
If you've spent any time online as an entrepreneur or business owner, you've probably been bombarded with ads promising to teach you how to build an "8-figure business." You know the ones—flashy marketing, big claims, and little substance.
But let’s be real. What most people need isn’t another overhyped promise. They need clear, practical support to help them take action, stay on track, and build something sustainable.
And that’s where I was pleasantly surprised.
A Refreshing Alternative: Realise Business
I recently discovered the NSW government’s Realise Business program, and let me tell you—it’s a game-changer. Whether you’re just starting or you’ve been in business for a while, I had no idea how much actual support was available.
I signed up for their 4-hour Digital Solutions coaching program and walked away feeling genuinely impressed by the high-value content, actionable insights, and expert guidance.
You know what else struck me: 4 hours of expert advice at this level would normally be at least $1000 + (and rightly so!) but business owners can get this for $45. What a gift!
And in a moment of pure coaching serendipity, I had an eye-opening realisation mid-session that changed the way I approach helping my own clients. More on that in a bit.
When You’re "In It," It’s Hard to See Clearly
If you’re a business owner, you know how it goes. You’re wearing multiple hats, juggling tasks, and constantly moving at full speed. You get caught up in the day-to-day and might not even realise you’re missing some huge opportunities.
That’s exactly why coaching and outside perspectives are so powerful. In my Digital Solutions session, my advisor Debbie helped me uncover a blind spot in my own business—how I could provide my clients with the right information to make better decisions faster.
It was a simple but powerful shift. And sometimes, that’s all it takes—a fresh set of eyes to help you see what’s right in front of you.
How the Program Works (And Why It’s Worth It)
If you’re wondering whether this is worth your time, here’s a quick breakdown of how it works:
Sign up for Realise Business and their 4-hour Digital Solutions program. It’s just $45.
Get matched with an advisor or coach who suits your needs.
Start with a quick audit—where are you now, where do you want to be, and what’s in place?
Gain key insights—your advisor walks you through marketing and digital system strategies that actually move the needle.
Identify quick wins—practical steps you can take immediately to improve.
Get connected—they introduce you to other advisors for specialized help (Cybersecurity, SEO, etc.).
It’s structured, affordable, and action-oriented—everything you wish those online gurus would offer but never do.
Why Support & Community Matter More Than Ever
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from coaching, it’s that you don’t have to do it alone.
Business can feel isolating, especially when you’re navigating challenges on your own. But having a community—mentors, advisors, even peers—makes a massive difference.
Programs like Realise Business give you access to practical guidance, expert perspectives, and a supportive network of people who actually care about your growth. It’s the kind of resource that should be talked about more often.
Growth Mindset: Staying Open to Learning
One of the biggest takeaways from my session was a reminder of the growth mindset—the idea that we’re always learning, adapting, and improving.
It’s easy to think, "I should know this by now" or "I’ll figure it out on my own", but the truth is: we all have blind spots. The most successful entrepreneurs and leaders are the ones who stay open to learning and seek guidance when needed.
Action Steps: What You Can Do Today
So, if any of this resonates with you, here’s what I’d suggest:
✅ Take a step back. Where in your business could you use a fresh perspective?
✅ Look for quality support. Check out programs like Realise Business or seek out coaching/mentorship that provides actionable guidance.
✅ Stay open. Be willing to see things differently, adjust your strategies, and try new approaches.
✅ Prioritise self-care. Running a business is demanding—take time to reflect, reset, and recharge.
Final Thoughts
If you’re tired of the overhyped "8-figure business" noise and just want real, practical support, consider looking into resources that actually help.
The Realise Business Digital Solutions program was an eye-opener for me, and if you’re in NSW, I highly recommend checking it out.
Because sometimes, the best thing you can do for your business—and yourself—is to get the right kind of help.
