In 1995, Marie Temby and her husband Kym began the lifelong adventure of working with the Bakers Delight franchise in Australia. By 2000, they opened two locations, one in Mitcham, and the other in Glenelg. Over the course of their hard work, they also started a family together.

As they did their best to achieve work-life balance, they were guided by the following values: family first, passion, gratitude, health, learning, positivity, rituals, improvement, honesty (promise and loyalty), and spirituality. Managing a business can be tough, but with their priorities in place, they were able to focus on ensuring work was well organized in the interest of keeping family first. From their solid foundation, the rest of their values could flow into ongoing, daily happiness.

In this book, Marie shares the wisdom garnered as she researched and implemented her approach to paperwork, customers, staff, management, and of course, personal life. Through the holistic power of rituals, she accessed simplicity and soul, and this naturally led to success. In the hopes of guiding others to the same fruition, she wrote her story and officially began her next adventure of becoming an author.

Work and family are both important. As a mum-preneur, Marie found a way to keep love, passion, and parenthood a part of that balance. It’s not impossible. It’s a matter of effort and intention. Embrace simplicity. Express your soul. Achieve success as you see it.

"Simple Soulful Successful has practical examples for transforming both your personal and professional life from ordinary to extraordinary!" -- Hal Elrod, international keynote speaker and best-selling author of The Miracle Morning and The Miracle Equation

From the Author

Interview with the Author

If you had to explain this book in one sentence, what would you say?

Marie explains her journey from overwhelm and anxiousness in business and family to an abundance of happiness and balance every day of her life, sharing secrets and tools for subjects like paperwork, customers, staff and most importantly personal skills that have helped them stay on top of it all, being multi-site franchisees and parents for over two decades, never forgetting the most important thing "family".

Who are the major influencers on your life and philosophy?

I have had many influencers during my life, none more important than my mother of course, she taught me one of my most important values and that is to be kind to everyone. But I have been searching for over two decades for answers on how to have a successful business and be balanced at the same time, every holiday I would read a book, every conference I could attend I did and every online course that I thought would help I enrolled in so my answer to this would be many.My husband for his never ending supply of positivity and confidence in me.

I believe that my influencers over the years have been forming one big chain and that the link just keeps getting bigger and ultimately getting me closer to my ultimate place. (which I believe I am very close) So I will share a few on the top would be Tony Robbins, he was one of my first ever, he taught me that "anything was possible" many years ago through his course Personal Power. He also made me understand early on that things just don't come to you, that it takes work to achieve what you want in life.

Some others are:Jeff Olsen - also a cd collection years ago that taught me to make choices that lead to success.
Napoleon Hill - an unending amount of desire to believe in your own mind and thoughts to become rich in many ways.
Stephen Covey - highly effective families
Steve Biddulph - Raising sons
Eckhart Tolle - Understanding the power of now
Dale Carnegie - taught me how to be liked and get along with others (avoid conflict)
John Maxwell - qualities of leaders
Sean Covey, Chris McChesney, Jim Huling - taught me how to build a great team
T Harv Eker - secrets into the minds of millionaires
Donald Wetmore - How to do things simpler
David Jenkin - Improvement for the stores
Brian Tracy - flight plan to success
Jim Collins - How to be better than good in business
Hal Elrod - Miracle Morning
Jon Vronman - Front Row Factor
Wayne Dyer - to remember our purpose in life
Esther and Jerry Hicks - explanation of the law of attraction
Rhonda Byrne - the secret
Paul Wilson - how to create balance
Michael Hyatt - how to be more productive
Joe Vitale - law of attraction, hooponopono, wealth mindset
Dr Steve G Jones - positive meditations to create a wealth mindset
Chuck Pennington - mastermind hero
Rob Kosberg - Helped get my book published
Ray Brehm - support I have needed at getting beyond the book and staying on track
Pete Vargas - how to have a signature talk for all kinds of stages

To be honest this looks like a big list but my list would really be much bigger I have never stopped trying to learn and be better in all areas of life, it doesn't happen overnight but it does happen 😊

What other authors or books influenced you to write this one?

I was my own influence to write this book, I had always wanted to be better at what I did, I wanted to find ways of making things easier and have fun and be happy along the way. For years I wanted to write this book to help others, those before me, those at the same place as me and those yet to begin their journey.

What are some of the major ideas that you integrate into this book or your life in general?

How to plan your life exactly how YOU want, doing all it is you have to do as well as all it is YOU want to do. Then you must ensure it is all balanced, then you add rituals that are fun, personal and easy to do, but most of all find or do what it is that you are passionate about.

If you could not use your current book title, what would be another choice?

I have gone over and over this many times and to be honest this is the only one that I could really resonate with.We did have Business, Balance & Rituals.

Over twenty years, Marie Temby has been a successful multi-site bakery franchisee. She and her husband, Kym, have now been together for over thirty years, raising their two sons. As the case can be for many people around the world, life was always hectic, and overwhelm was a part of each and every day.

Marie went on a search for discovery―not only for herself but for those ahead and following―to find the skills necessary for retrieving the time and balance previously in place that she so desperately wanted again. Not only did she find time and energy to accomplish what she needed and wanted to do, she found success in both her personal and professional life. Most importantly, she discovered a path to daily happiness. Her new goal is now to share this with the world.

Success is attainable

Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2020

Marie's story grew on me the more I read. She's down to earth, walking through her thoughts and fears of each new challenge that owning a business piled on her roles as mum, wife, daughter and more. Then she shares practical steps she learned so I could accelerate my own success, especially as a married woman with a family and circle of friends. Not that we all have the same idea of success, I found her achievements to be aspirational without being jetsetter unrealistic. She gets granular with steps for molding balance into her life. I found those to be especially helpful.

As someone who's been through the ups and downs of entrepreneurship and still continue to feel overwhelmed at times, I felt this book did a great job of simplifying how to find success in business AND in life.

With the stories that the author uses as well as sharing images (throughout the book) of her personal journey.

It's easy to connect with the author and see myself in her journey.

Heartfelt and Valuable read

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2020

(writing under my husbands account) I am a Wife, Mother and Business Owner and can relate to everything Marie shares in this wonderful read. Marie's heart shines through every word and you can feel how much she loves her husband, her sons, her business and her employees. She leads through example and shares her journey openly including struggles and challenges which is refreshing. I love that at the end of the chapter Marie includes a worksheet to prompt you to take action steps. This is a must read for business owners at every level, especially if you are starting out. You will learn many valuable lessons to help you be successful on your journey. Anne

Fantastic message in achieving success

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2020

Marie's book was well-written that demonstrates one woman's journey to find a positive balance in her life despite the busy-ness of being a mum and wife, business owner and friend. I am not a business owner, nor a mum or wife, but I do want to live a positive, balanced and successful life and found this book a relevant and refreshing tale with suggestions on how to change behaviours and thinking patterns. I also applaud Marie's recommendations of other authors works as those who have influenced her journey. Thanks for allowing us to gain an insight into your incredibly uplifting story.

Great balance and success in business and in life!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

Through this book, Marie Temby has created a really wonderful resource for women, demonstrating how it is possible to create balance by openly sharing her business and life story. Many of Marie’s strategies resonated with me as an experienced business owner, as well as a coach of many working mothers. I especially like the very practical actions that she prompts the reader to take at the end of each chapter, thus moving the strategies merely from information to implementation. A must read for all those new to business as well as those already juggling business and personal lives.

Practical, real, heartfelt advice for women

Reviewed in Australia on January 2, 2020

Verified Purchase

Marie Temby captures so much of the practicalities of juggling business and life. As a working mother, I resonated with so many of her challenges and highlights. Having spent many years in franchising, I’d recommend this as a ‘must’ for any new franchisees. The tips are simple... simple but gold!

A great refresher for anyone in business. And of incredible relevance to my own work and life - and that of so many others is her simple, heartfelt journey in developing herself through rituals and habits.

The activities at the end of the chapters mirror and add to the simple but powerful reminders we can use regularly.

As a business owner and mother I found myself nodding in agreement throughout this book. Marie has written this in such a way that it flows through her journey and gives thoughtful advice along the way. Well written and positive, whilst not downplaying the hardships she has faced. I’ll certainly be applying many of her principles in my personal and professional roles.
