There is often a lot of pushback from entrepreneurs when it comes to building a personal profile. Businesses used to be built on a brand name alone, but the world is hungry for authenticity. They want to know who you are.

My guest in this episode of The Dent Podcast is the prolific entrepreneur and powerhouse, Tina Tower. Tina is one of those anomalies that seems to have been blessed with the entrepreneurial gene. At the age of 18, she invested in her first property. At 20, she started her first successful business. By the time she was 30, had built and sold two businesses, had two beautiful kids, graduated University and set up a national franchise network with her brand, Begin Bright.

These achievements have not gone unnoticed, and she has been highly celebrated for her multiple business wins. In 2014, she received the Australian Telstra Young Business Woman of the Year award, along with the My Business Magazine award in 2012 and the Australian Small Business Champion Award for Educational Services. Never one to slow down, she has also been featured on Sky Business, The Huffington Post and The Financial Review.

Now, she is a globetrotting business coach, course designer and prolific podcaster and author with her successful show, Her Empire Builder podcast and new book One Life.

Tina loves to share her business wisdom, and that’s just what she did in our conversation. We discussed the power of personal branding and why you should aim to create a strong profile. We also discuss business strategies and how podcasts are a great marketing tool.

Here’s just some of the gold Tina shares with us:

  • Tina’s journey from troubled home to business success

  • The difference between licencing and franchises

  • Why so many people resist profile building even though it’s essential for success

  • Why having 100 followers can be better than having 100,000

  • How to systemise and plan like a pro to regain time

  • How using live events can generate valuable business

  • How podcasts can create dozens of pieces of extra shareable content

  • Tina’s existential life crisis after successfully exiting a business

  • How Tina became an award-winning entrepreneur

  • Tina’s darkest hour and why she doesn’t fear failure

How long does it take to complete KPI?

The programme is built around a 12-month foundation year. This is the time it takes to build your full authority ecosystem. From there, many clients continue to compound their results year on year. Within 24 hours of joining, you'll get full access to the KPI platform. In your first week, you'll attend a group onboarding session where you'll learn how to navigate the platform, access your resources, subscribe to our event calendars, and book into your first Value Canvas Kickoff.

How long has Dent been doing this?

Over 5,500 businesses across 60+ industries in EMEA, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific have gone through our accelerators.

What is your mission?

Our mission is to produce Key People of Influence who stand out, scale up, and make an impact in the world.

What makes this different from programmes?

The biggest difference is that KPI is a production environment, not a course. You don't watch videos and hope something sticks. You build 15-17 real assets of influence — your book, your scorecard, your productised offer, your lead generation system — in structured 10-day sprints with live coaching. Every asset goes to market as you build it. Real feedback, real results, real revenue impact. And you're doing it alongside 5,500+ founders who've been through the same methodology.

Is Daniel Priestley involved in the programme?

Yes! Daniel is our CEO and Cofounder. He is one of the key minds behind every aspect of the KPI Accelerator. He occasionally runs workshops himself.
