Meet Vicki Hodgson, Director, Co-Founder of Blow Your Own Mind (BYOM Pty Ltd). As a past Board Member of Wanneroo Business Association, Vicki Hodgson is now kicking goals, running her own business with her Co-Founder Lisa Smith. Read on to get to know Vicki in this interview style article, and find out what she thinks of being a member of Wanneroo Business Association.
Established in October 2018 by my business partner Lisa Smith and I, Blow Your Own Mind helps business owners and leaders reach their full potential through inspiring online webinars, practical workshops and business coaching using an innovative Entrepreneurial Mindset Profile® (EMP) tool. Since starting out in business we have gone from strength to strength.
We are the only Master Practitioners of the Entrepreneurial Mindset Profile® tool in Australia and New Zealand. Our growing team of EMP Practitioners use the tool to support their clients to understand their innate ability to succeed and overcome any obstacles. We all focus on the person behind the business to help them understand their motivations, to encourage self-belief, so that the business reaches its full potential.
Our ideal client would be a business owner or leader who wants to make a real difference and achieve their full potential.
Can you imagine where you and your business would be if fear didn’t hold you back; if you blew your own mind?

Summarise the Wanneroo Business Association in 3 words
Fun, informative and supportive! My favourite thing about the Wanneroo Business Association is being able to connect with other business owners. We really like how responsive the team are to help small business owners. Well done team Wanneroo Business Association!
It’s great to connect with other business owners in the City of Wanneroo, share ideas and network. We were also runner up for Best Business Start Up 2019 which was quite an achievement for our first year in business. We’ve recommended several business owners to join Wanneroo Business Association and also regularly use the co-working space. Well done team Wanneroo Business Association!
We realised very early on when setting up the business that outsourcing was the best way to maximise our time and build national reach. This strategy has enabled us to grow internationally and attract clients in New Zealand. Your time is your most valuable commodity.

The Bswapshop initiative came from a collaboration between another WBA member Kati McKeon from Hot Lizard Designs. It was developed during the COVID19 outbreak to help connect businesses swap services. Many Wanneroo Business Association members have been to our workshops both online and face to face.

The business networking sundowner held at Atlantis Play Centre when we all got the chance to ride on the kids go carts! Another memory is from when I was on the Board, and we visited Yanchep National Park riding to ride the segways.
