Creating a business is similar to sustaining a healthy lifestyle. It requires hard work, perseverance, and multiple sources of support.

In this episode of HerBusiness podcast, Suzi Dafnis interviews founder of Eat Fit Food, Bianca Monley, about the way she overcomes obstacles in her business to provide fresh and healthy food options to people nationally.

Bianca understands the struggles of starting a business since she quit her job to open her business in her very own kitchen. Now, Bianca shares her advice about staying afloat and succeeding.

She emphasises staying away from trends for innovation and to instead pursue your own passion to reinvent old ideas. As a company that began before the healthy food frenzy culture began, following passion rather than trends is truly the mantra of her business.

Listen to this episode to hear more about:

  • Why you should never give up
  • The best ways to approach goals
  • How mentors and coaches can help
  • Getting cash flowing immediately
  • Prioritising your business’s needs

About the host

Suzi Dafnis

Hi there. I’m Suzi Dafnis, CEO at HerBusiness. My BIG passion is helping women business owners to grow and scale their business, so that they can create their ideal lifestyle and make a difference in the world. Every day I am inspired by the more than 30,000 amazing women (and men!) in our community and I love finding the best education, mentors, and resources from around the globe, to help them get the skills, knowledge, and support they need to succeed. It’s been my privilege to lead HerBusiness (formerly The Australian Businesswomen’s Network) for the past 23 years (two+ decades – WOW!) because, whilst I’ve enjoyed success in business, I’ve also experienced the highs and the lows – sometimes you can feel on top of the world and in control and other times you can feel isolated, exhausted and stuck. What has made the biggest difference for me has always been having great people around me and having a lifelong commitment to learning. That’s why I am so passionate about the work we do here at HerBusiness – providing a Connection Network for women in business to get the mentors, contacts, referrals, knowledge, and skills they need to grow their confidence, make more money, build their businesses, expand their network and create the lives they love. My entrepreneurial journey started in the spare room of my Sydney apartment in 1994 when my business partner and I started a boutique events company that represented speakers and authors from the USA, here in Australia. Over the years I’ve grown multiple multi-million dollar businesses in the events, publishing and education niches – with teams in Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Not everything has worked and there has been a degree of trial and error, and a lot of bumps in the road. But I have always had a strong commitment to always surrounding myself with great mentors and like-minded peers – a Connection Network that I can depend on and who can depend on me to be there for them too. I truly do what I love, every day.
