Louise Stephens
Louise is the creator of Live What You Love Business Coaching, and is a marketing, business strategy, and retention expert. She works with coaches, healers, and female entrepreneurs who have a passion for helping people and want to turn that passion into their own business.
“In today’s society, many influential and career-driven women are breaking glass ceilings—but at a cost,” Louise explains. “They can’t see a way to have it all. I believe it’s possible to be the high-achieving boss lady while maintaining your wellbeing and being a committed, present partner and role model for your kids.”
Live What You Love Business Coaching assists through one-on-one mentoring and a range of startup and business growth programs. Louise is enthusiastic about her clients. “They have often experienced a personal pain/trauma, and after deciding to create a different life for themselves, they have undertaken training and are now choosing to share their knowledge and help others. I help turn their passion for helping others into a profitable business by empowering them to become the courageous and confident women they truly are!”
Although Louise works with most of her clients online, she sometimes needs to meet in person. MIC Greensborough provides her with a professional working space and access to meeting rooms when required. “There is an intimate group of members and I really like that it provides a community environment, as opposed to feeling like just another ‘number’.”

Peter Daams
Peter runs travellerspoint.com, a global online platform for travellers to share their experiences and plan trips. Travellers can map their trips, create blogs and discuss their plans with each other. He started the site back int 2002—it now has over 900k members from around the world. Revenue is generated through advertising and commissions on bookings made through the site.
Travellerspoint.com connects travellers with like-minded people to discuss their plans. “While we can all search for anonymous reviews online,” says Peter, “there is still a big demand for personal recommendations from people who we feel we know.”
Peter would like the website to grow into a go-to destination for travellers who are organising their travels. He is motivated by the great community that loves to travel.
MIC Greensborough appealed for its professional environment with no distractions. “I like the idea of coworking. It provides a space that is clearly set up for working and gives me a good chance to meet people working on interesting projects of their own.”
