Sarah Greener- Investor Mama

About

Sarah Greener is passionate about businesses – mostly small ones. For the past 7 years, Sarah has been helping busy, stressed, and overworked business owners transform their businesses and reignite the passion they had when they started out.

Growing up in a family that ran on business and a keen entrepreneurial spirit, gave Sarah a thorough grounding in the fundamentals. From there, she went on to own and run multiple businesses, in New Zealand and overseas. These ranged from retail through to e-commerce businesses, where she ran small to medium teams and dealt with the day-to-day operation. Each new business threw up different challenges as she thrived on the constant and never-ending improvement of each business.

Despite her natural business drive and knowledge, Sarah still made plenty of mistakes. But here’s the thing, there’s no learning or growth without mistakes. Eventually, she got caught up in the same game most business owners get into – where the passion they once felt for their business becomes all emotion and busy noise. She knows what it feels like to become overwhelmed by the ineffective activity of working in your business rather than on it, and she has helped many business owners exit that cycle.
Sarah enjoys providing actionable insights to audiences of all sizes to help them put into action immediate ways to strike that necessary balance and stop
the overwhelm.

 

Lightning Round

1. What is one fun fact about you that not that many people know?

I am an undefeated muay thai boxer.

 

2. Who inspires you the most and why?

Charlotte, our daughter. She inspires me because I hold myself to a higher standard than I would hold myself without her. I want her to have a different world than the one I grew up in. I’m in my forties and it’s been challenging. At 25 as a woman in business here in New Zealand, there were still so many challenges and they still exist today. I have to hold myself to a higher account so that she can be the greatest expression of herself and whatever she wants to go and do. That inspires me massively.

3. What books are you reading now or have read and loved that you’d recommend?

Effortless: Make It Easier to Do What Matters Most by Greg McKeown

Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown

E-MythWhy Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It by Michael E. Gerber

 

4. What is one actionable tip or piece of advice that you can tell our moms out there to help them on their money journey?

You have to take care of yourself before you take care of anyone else, financially, physically, all of it. You have to be your own priority. I think a lot of people feel like that’s selfish and I disagree. You have to fill your own cup. I love that I have my best version of myself when I am taken care of first. I’m a better mom, I’m a better wife, I’m a better coach, I’m a better ever thing all around when I am taken care of.
