10 Mistakes New Business Owners Make that Can Seriously Sink Their Business
When you first start a business you are so full of enthusiasm that you sometimes don’t really take the time necessary to fully research the best way to go about things.
Further, because of your lack of experience, there are decisions that can be made that seriously hinder the prospects of your business.
In this ebook, Hayley Solich shares with you some of her early mistakes in the hope that you will be able to absorb the wisdom and avoid making the same errors.
“I rarely make the same mistake twice. Certainly, I learned the hard way what works and what doesn’t. In this ebook my goal is to arm enthusiastic and budding entrepreneurs with some keys to putting up a successful business. My goal is to grow people to grow their businesses,” says Hayley.
Amazing
Before you were born, I knew you. I saw you knit together in your mother’s womb and you are amazing…
Enjoy this uplifting music that will have you soaring in no time. Amazing.
Another Spring Day
When we think about our lives and we are experiencing the beauty of a lovely spring day, someone else in the world is experiencing hardship. We can close our eyes and pretend they don’t exist, after all our world is beautiful, or we can hear their silent cries and be inspired to make a difference.
Written on a lovely spring day, this song contrasts how our lives can be going so well yet others may be experiencing the same day but with totally different conditions.
Another Spring Day is a reminder to us all to find the time to share our blessings with others, to reach out our arms of love to those who need us.

Be Good To Yourself
Hayley Solich wrote this song one night when she was feeling frustrated with her life. As she started what she calls her “Music Therapy”, she realised that sometimes we just have to be good to ourselves and make room for us to deal with ourselves with compassion and love.
This song is a reminder to all to ‘be good to yourself’.
A modern beat with mellow tunes makes a great song for a warm up for an exercise routine, music to do your housework to or just for mellowing out.
“I wrote this song one night at home. The children had been playing up and I felt so frustrated. So I went to my computer for music therapy. I often do this because I find that it music soothes the savage beast. This affirmation song came out of a heart that wanted to erase the stress and painfulness of disciplining children.”

Birds & Bees
This instrumental piece just seemed to remind me of the cycle of life, of how we journey through life and we pollinate one another along the way. Some of those pollinating incidences are like big bulb moments and others a just like the touch of a birds downy soft wings.
I had just been given the Symphony Jam Pack for Apple Mac and I loved being able to work with all the new instruments…what an amazing opportunity to be composing for the whole of the orchestra. I really love that.
So enjoy, Birds & Bees!
Breathe

Leadership: Developing a style that encourages followers
When you are the leader of the team, do others say, “I want to be on their team!” When you finish leading a team for a project, do your group say, “When’s the next project. I really enjoyed working with you?”
Team culture is probably one of the most difficult issues in management today. Building a team starts with becoming the leader that others will willingly follow.
If we look in history at some of the great leaders we see that they were men and women that others willingly invested in. Often, people were queueing at the door saying “Pick me, pick me!”
In this easy-to-read and very practical e-book that is crammed full of real life examples, Hayley Solich examines some of the reasons why leaders fail and why followers become jaded with their leadership and point the way to becoming a more “user-friendly” leader to produce a more productive team.
Former Manager of the Port Hedland Small Business Centre, Chris Lucas says, “I would highly recommend anyone in a leadership or management role to read your eBook as I am sure they will definitely pick up some great tips to help them become a better leader and as a result create a better business for everyone involved including staff and clients/customers!”

A beautiful lilting piece.

Whispers
Hayley Solich has created a beautiful piano instrumental track that is like the feeling you get when you are standing at the side of a lake and the water is gently lapping the shoreline and the wind is gently tugging at your hair. The sun is warming your skin and in that moment you feel at peace with life.
“I love Whispers. I find it calming and soothing and it reminds me of the times when I have just stood outside in nature and felt the sweet soft caress of my soul by God. It was in the warmth of the sun on my skin, the feel of the gentle breeze in my hair, the clear, fresh air that filled my lungs. We have so much to be grateful for,” says Hayley Solich
You Can
Hayley Solich pulls out all the motivational stops here to deliver a driving rhythm and powerful message – YOU CAN!
This song will have you up, dancing and changing, “You can, you can, you can, you can!”
A fantastic inspirational and motivational piece that’s great for getting an individual or group inspired and fired up to believe in themselves and their personal power to pursue their dreams.
A wonderful affirmation piece with a contemporary rhythm.
“I wrote this song when I was participating in the Commando Kick Butt Challenge as part of the Personal Challenge Quest for Women Can. I was working out with a trainer and every time I put this music on all I could see was myself kicking into the padding or doing my boxing jabs. It became a bit like a mantra to me, and I kept telling myself, ‘You can, Hayley, there’s no such thing as can’t only won’t!’ To this day I still find this a very inspiring and motivating piece of music which I often put on to do the dirty jobs at home that I just don’t like doing and I find that it helps me get into the right mindset. Enjoy!”
