In this episode, Fab and Liz dive into three main topics:
- Business Success Hack: Liz shares an inspiring story about a caravan park on the Gold Coast that prioritises staff wellness. The General Manager has implemented a policy where park managers work only five days a week with standard hours, promoting a healthy work-life balance. This approach has led to higher job satisfaction, lower turnover, and significant financial benefits for the business.

They describe a process for developing a USP, including understanding the value your business offers, identifying your ideal customer, and using tools like ChatGPT to refine your USP.
