Question 12.
Say for instance we're going to interview you again
in the next three years, (which is highly likely) what
would it take for you to feel happy with your progress?
To have succeeded in the things that I'm putting into
place at the moment. So to be an incredible mentor
that changes my clients lives, that helps them to live
their best and most happy lives possible. Simply to
change lives for the better daily.
For my new TM Vault to reach my subscription targets,
and to have achieved all my current and future set
goals. I'm big into setting goals but I'm also big into
understanding that sometimes we must reset those
goals because there are certain things that are just not
going to work no matter how hard you try or how much
effort and time you put into it. Continuing to strive
forward, getting great growth both personally and
within my business, It's all about progress.
Question 13.
What's the biggest mistake that you've made in
business?
The biggest mistake lol would definitely be not moving
on things fast enough. I hate the word procrastination
and I'm not a procrastinator, but when it involves a lot
of money and things like that, I tend to overthink it too
long and too hard. Even simple things like a computer
system, when GST was coming in, my accountant said
to me, I had five stores at that stage, and he said you
are not going to survive GST coming in if you do not
get computerised. I umm'ed and ah'ed and put that off
for as long as I possibly could. Once I had it, and I saw
the tools that gave me the opportunities for knowledge
for my buying and management control, I was like why
the hell did I not do this three years or five years or
whatever years ago? This is crazy. This is great. This is
gold.
Question 14.
Your latest venture, which is the Tracey Mathers Vault,
can you walk us through that and tell us what it is and
then ultimately why you started it?
So the TM Vault was set up because on a daily basis I
talk to woman who need help, they may not be able
to afford private mentoring right now, so I wanted to
create a platform where they feel I am still talking to
them, but they also have the added advantage of many
more incredible woman all talking together. Great
conversation and support all on one private Facebook
page

Women’s Network Magazine
It's a pre-recorded video on the topic each week
and then it's daily posts unpacking everything about
that topic. So, there will be a conversation around it,
people can send in questions which again will start
great conversation. I just love women, I think we are
awesome, and the thing that upsets me is when I
see women confused and without a clear vision or
purpose, and don't know how to get that vision and
they're chasing their tails, they're unhappy. Some
parts of their lives are working, some aren't. I want the
whole part of their life to be working. I want them to
step into their power and feel the best that they can
be so that they can have the most amazing year. As
women, it's a natural thing that we put ourselves last,
we always put the family first, we always put kids first,
all that sort of stuff, we have got to try and change that.
We are important and unless we can get us right, it's
very difficult to look after all of them and still have the
energy to do something with yourself at the end of the
day.
The program is about opening up conversation around
topics that will help people change and grow. My vision
is to create a powerful group of amazing women who
feel they have a safe space to ask questions and to get
them thinking differently on how they can change their
life and gain greater clarity, confidence and connection
for a more successful business and personal life.
Question 15
Why is networking so important and how do you make
sure you connect with the right people?
Oh My God! Networking is the bomb. I have the most
incredible network of people in my life. So, I can help
people at the drop of a hat, I've got people I can call
on, I am constantly working on my network. People go
‘oh, I don't have the time’. I say you don't have the time
not to do it. You’ve got to be able to do it. You meet the
most amazing people who make you think outside the
box. You meet people who maybe haven't even done as
much in their life as what you have and you learn the
best lesson of your year through that person. You’ve
got to go into these networks with an open mind,
you've got to talk to people, get involved in what they're
doing, see how you can help them. It's not just about
you, it's about what you can do for them. So how can I
help you and then in return, would you mind helping
me with this.
If you're using it properly if you're using it well, I'm
telling you, it's absolute gold to your life. I have met
some of my closest, most valued, beautiful friends at
networking events.
