When Jana Le co-founded Mind to Mind Psychology, she brought deep clinical expertise and a clear vision: to make psychology feel more human, connected, and accessible. But as the practice grew rapidly, Jana found herself navigating unfamiliar territory, moving from skilled clinician to strategic business leader.

Through the Office for Small and Family Business, 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 Program delivered by Adelaide Business Hub, Jana worked with mentors Kerryn at Quisk - A branding, design & digital studio and Angela at Best Business Results Pty Ltd to build the operational structures, leadership skills, and long-term strategy needed to support the practice's continued growth. The result: a thriving, community-connected psychology practice that was recognised as a finalist in the City Of Charles Sturt Business Recognition Awards.

𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁: 𝗔 𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 - with Ralph from DSRPT

𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵
In the digital world, your first impression begins with search engines. Ensure your content is peppered with the right keywords—like "Wills & Estate"—to boost your visibility and get noticed quickly. For instance, when someone types in these key phrases, your business should appear prominently, inviting them to learn more about your services.

𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁 𝗮 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹
Think of your online presence as a well-orchestrated journey. With 93% of Australians starting their search online, it’s essential to guide them effortlessly from your Google listing or social media page to your website. A clear call-to-action—whether it’s making a call or visiting your site—can significantly improve engagement and conversion rates.

𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁
Social media isn’t just about posting images; it’s about creating a complete package. From high-quality visuals captured by professionals to engaging copy and carefully chosen hashtags, every element should resonate with your audience. Imagine a streamlined process where content is reviewed and refined until it perfectly represents your brand’s voice, ensuring your warm market stays engaged.

𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁
Your website is your digital storefront—it needs to be both appealing and functional. A sharp, professional design builds trust with prospects and mirrors the quality of your business. Even if you have personal preferences, aligning your site with best practices can make all the difference. A well-designed site not only reflects your brand but also supports your marketing campaigns effectively.

𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
Growth isn’t just about what you do alone; it’s about who you work with. By collaborating with other digital experts—from social media agencies to web developers—you can extend your reach and tap into new markets. Whether it’s expanding regionally or even internationally, forming strategic partnerships can provide the referral networks and global exposure your business needs.

𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀
Success in digital marketing comes from a well-rounded strategy: optimising your online presence, guiding your audience through a clear digital funnel, delivering compelling social media content, investing in effective website design, and embracing collaborative growth. Focus on these pillars, and you’ll not only capture attention but also build lasting trust with your audience.

𝗘𝗢𝗙𝗬 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 & 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 - with Bev from Functional Business Solutions

End of Financial Year doesn’t have to be stressful. With a few smart checks and simple habits, EOFY can become a useful reset point rather than a last‑minute scramble. These tips help small business owners tidy up, stay compliant, and make the most of the year just gone - before 30 June!

𝗘𝗢𝗙𝗬 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 & 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗲𝗿

✅Don’t wait until June – start reviewing your numbers early so there’s time to fix issues before deadlines and arrange a visit to the Tax Accountant before the end of May to arrange tax planning

✅Check that all sales and expenses are entered correctly (missing transactions are one of the biggest EOFY headaches.

✅Chase outstanding invoices before year end to improve cash flow going into the new financial year

✅Review GST coding now and clean up errors before BAS figures become final

✅Make sure payroll records are accurate, including wages, allowances, and Single Touch Payroll reporting

✅Check superannuation liabilities and timing so contributions are counted in the correct financial year. And ensure you are ready for Pay Day Super on 1 July 2026.

✅Go through “suspense”, “uncategorised”, or “ask my accountant” accounts and clear them out

✅Review business assets and purchases – some items may need to be recorded or flagged for depreciation or is it worth brining forward any asset purchases into the current Financial year

✅Organise receipts and documents in one place so nothing is missed (attaching them in the software saves questions from the accountant)

✅Use EOFY as a reset: review pricing, costs, and cash flow before the new financial year begins. Prepare a budget for the new year.
