Your Business Buddy
Tracey Sweetland
The Nexus founder and small business owner since 2014. Former local news journalist and sub-editor.
Hi, I’m Tracey.
When I become your new business buddy, you’ll get a straight-talking, no bullshit mentor who doesn’t sugar coat the truth. I will always tell you it exactly as I see it.
My experience as a journalist means I have years of experience of asking the right questions and sifting through the bullshit to get to the crux of the matter.
I’m also not going to make you any promises I can’t keep.
I’m definitely not promising that my mentoring will take your business to a six-figure money-making machine in the next six months because, honestly, I’m not there yet myself.
I have several years (since 2014) of experience of starting, running and growing my own business, but I’m still learning new things every day and I’m still on the small business journey – just like you.
As a mentor, I’m offering to be a partner – a friend – in your journey. We’ll work together to help you get where you want to be with your small business.

Guidance and support
Mentoring is a great way of getting business guidance and support on a regular basis.
Business Buddy mentoring is designed to work around what is best for you and your business.
It is a chance for you to take time out from working in your business to focus on your own self-development and working ON your business.
So, you choose how often you would like to have a mentoring session and the focus/purpose of each session.
How a Business Buddy can help?
There are numerous ways in which a Business Buddy can help. It all depends on where you are with your business and what you specifically need help with.
But some of the most common challenges business owners face include their own mindset and confidence, efficient goal and target setting, productivity, overcoming obstacles and making decisions, marketing and knowing who to turn to or who can help.
Part of being a Business Buddy is our own wide network of contacts – meaning if we don’t know the answer we almost certainly know someone who does!
The benefits

Exploring different options and taking the next step becomes easier when you have someone that understands your struggles and who you can bounce ideas off and get feedback from.
Focusing your energy
Simply having someone else to motivate you and to share your successes with can lead to extraordinary results.
Make progress more quickly
Taking the right actions at the right time in the right way can make a big difference to your profits. When you begin to focus your time and energy on the right things, new opportunities open up and you can achieve your vision.Â
