[Episode 49] From Conversations to Action: Local Grant Support from the Town of Victoria Park

A year ago, I was having the same conversation again and again in the business community.

“It’s tough out there.”

Between rising interest rates, the cost of living, and the daily pressures of running a business, many professionals felt emotionally, financially, and mentally stretched. Whether they were seasoned operators or trying to get through the next quarter, the sentiment was clear: I’m doing everything and still feel behind.

While I offered strategy and support through one-to-one coaching, I knew more was needed. More access. More community. More space to pause, plan, and breathe.

That’s when I took two actions:

1. Created a group coaching level of my business, comprising of monthly events called the Success Community and

2. I applied for a local business grant through the Town of Victoria Park, with a straightforward intention:
To create more pathways for business owners, BDMs, and not-for-profit leaders to grow their business with clarity, confidence, and support.

And I’m proud to share now that Ask Fleur has received local funding support from the Town of Victoria Park.

What does this mean in practice?

It means:

• More places in our Boost Your Business 90-Day Planning Workshops for local professionals

• Easier access to Success Community events for business owners local to our event venue in Vic Park, East Vic Park, Lathlain, Carlisle, Burswood, Bentley, St. James and Welshpool

• A visible investment in community-based leadership, practical tools, and business growth

But here’s why this matters not just for local businesses, but for our entire Success Community:

We’re building a diverse, values-driven network of business owners and professionals actively seeking growth, in profit, purpose, connection and sustainability.

Whether you're in the Town of Victoria Park or further afield, this support reflects something bigger: a commitment to making quality coaching more accessible and to fostering a thriving business community that lifts each other.

This is an exciting milestone, not just for Ask Fleur, but for every one of you who’s part of this journey.
