To support and inspire women committed to achieving personal and financial freedom
by building businesses around their passions.
Welcome to our first issue of Venus, a magazine launched to inspire and celebrate New Zealand women who have ventured in to the world of business ownership.
This magazine has been a dream of mine for almost two years. Ever since I can remember I have known deep inside that I was here for a reason. A reason that was greater than me and that would make a difference in the world. In the past four years since launching the Venus Network I have had the pleasure of meeting and sharing this journey of business with women throughout New Zealand who have this same inner drive and motivation to live life on purpose.

After 3 months of working with the awesome team at Taylor McAllum I’m so happy to announce our new Venus Brand. Ronnie and Lionel Taylor McAllum have been avid supporters of myself and Venus over the past three years and have watched the Venus Network grow from a small Tauranga business to a national company.
When it is your turn to introduce yourself and your business it is important to understand that this is your opportunity to “TEACH” the other members how to sell you to their networks. Give them the words they can use to refer you! What you say at this time is the only information the other members will have to refer you on.
I hope you had the chance to relax and unwind over the holidays. I have a theory about the holidays. They are not always the best time to truly relax and unwind. With so much family stuff happening, guests visiting and friends around, kids home for the holidays, our time is often VERY stretched. That is why I think January is a slowish month for business in NZ. We are still unwinding from the year that has been and building up the reserves of energy and creativity needed for the year ahead.
