Meet our member, the inspiring and successful Sarita Kataria. Sarita is the founder of Grow360 (https://grow360.net.au/), a buyer’s advocacy and property advisory firm dedicated to helping families and business owners build lasting wealth through strategic property acquisition across Australia.

With a client-first philosophy at the heart of everything she does, Sarita has built Grow360 around three core principles: education, transparency, and tailored strategy. She believes that smart property investment isn’t one-size-fits-all, and her approach reflects that, with every solution carefully aligned to each client’s budget, financial goals, lifestyle, and existing portfolio position.

Grow360’s services span the full spectrum of property investment, from full turnkey house and land packages and high cash flow dual key properties, to established residential homes, dual occupancy investments, and commercial opportunities across Australia. Whether a client is taking their first step into property investment or expanding a sophisticated portfolio, Sarita and her team guide them through every stage, from initial strategy and market research through to negotiation, acquisition, and settlement coordination.

A Home in Italy and A Book: An Inspiring Celebration of Creativity, Culture and Storytelling

We were delighted to be invited to the ‘A Home in Italy and A Book’ event hosted at the Instituto Italiano Di Cultura Sydney. It was one of those rare and memorable gatherings that leaves attendees feeling inspired, reflective, and full of new ideas.

One of the highlights was learning about Casa Morphisi, a beautiful writers' retreat in Italy designed to nurture creativity and provide authors with the space and inspiration to focus on their craft. The discussion sparked a fascinating conversation about what awakens creativity and what it truly takes to find one's voice as a writer. The concept resonated deeply with the Business With Balance philosophy, reminding us that sometimes the right environment can unlock extraordinary potential.

The event also provided an opportunity to meet two remarkable Australian authors whose work demonstrates the enduring power of storytelling.

Charlotte Wood

Charlotte Wood is the author of seven novels and three nonfiction books. Her latest novel, Stone Yard Devotional, was shortlisted for the 2024 Booker Prize and was named one of the Top 10 Books of the Year by both The New York Times and The Washington Post, an extraordinary achievement that has earned international recognition. The novel explores themes of faith, doubt, belonging, grief, and forgiveness through a deeply moving and thought-provoking narrative. Stone Yard Devotional was shortlisted for the 2024 Booker Prize and has received widespread critical acclaim.

Hearing Charlotte speak about her writing journey and creative process was a privilege. Her warmth, insight, and thoughtful reflections offered a fascinating glimpse into the mind behind such compelling work.

Ryan Butta

The audience was equally captivated by historian and author Ryan Butta, whose work brings overlooked chapters of Australian history to life. Ryan is the author of The Ballad of Abdul Wade, which was shortlisted for the South Australian Premier's Non-Fiction Book of the Year, and The Bravest Scout at Gallipoli.

His upcoming book, Blackbirding: How Blackbirding Shaped Modern Australia, explores Australia's nineteenth and early twentieth-century slave trade and its lasting impact on the nation. The book continues Ryan's commitment to uncovering hidden histories and telling stories that deserve to be remembered. He is also currently researching the lives of writers and political dissidents who resisted Fascism in Italy between 1920 and 1945 - an important and timely exploration of courage, resistance, and the preservation of truth through storytelling.

Why Stories Matter

Events like A Home in Italy and A Book are a wonderful reminder of the power of stories to connect us, challenge us, and inspire personal growth. Surrounded by creativity, culture, and passionate storytellers, the event reinforced the importance of seeking out conversations and experiences that broaden perspectives and spark new possibilities.

Business With Balance extends its gratitude to the organisers, speakers, and fellow attendees for creating such an enriching and memorable event. It was an event that celebrated not only books and writing, but also the transformative power of ideas.

AI won’t replace great leaders but it will expose weak ones

By Shyni Shyamsunder

In a world where AI is accelerating decisions, visibility, and ex*****on at lightning speed, there’s nowhere left to hide. Poor strategy, toxic culture, and fear-based leadership don’t disappear with AI, they get amplified.

In this powerful piece, discover why the real competitive advantage of the AI era isn’t technology, it’s human leadership. Clarity, emotional intelligence, and ethical judgment are no longer “soft skills.” They are your greatest edge.

If you are a leader, entrepreneur, or anyone navigating the AI shift, this is a must-read.

Business With Balance (BWB) is thrilled to announce the launch of ‘Inspire & Unwind’; a warm, welcoming, and deeply intentional weekly program in collaboration with BK Australia & She Magazine, held every Friday at the Community Hub, Castle Towers.

📅 Every Friday
🕙 10:30 AM – 2:30 PM
📍 Community Hub Castle Towers, 14 Castle St, Castle Hill

After witnessing so many people, especially women, juggling ambition, burnout, self-doubt, and the relentless pursuit of “doing it all,” we knew it was time to create something truly special: a space where women can simply breathe.

‘Inspire & Unwind’ is for every woman who has quietly longed for a space that truly sees her, holds her, and reminds her of how powerful she already is. And while women are at the heart of everything this initiative stands for, it warmly welcomes the men who champion, uplift, and stand beside them. Providing FREE life coaching and creating meaningful FREE community events has always been at the very core of what BWB stands for, so partnering in an initiative like this feels like the most natural extension of its mission.

The first ‘Inspire & Unwind’ was a heartfelt success. The energy in the room was nothing short of magical. From the moment the doors opened, the warmth was palpable and within minutes, the room was filled with laughter, genuine conversation, and the kind of easy connection that reminds you why community matters so deeply.

Gifted Meditation Teacher Swaran Singh Rajput spoke beautifully about the importance of slowing down, reminding attendees that in a world that glorifies hustle, the most radical and powerful thing we can do is pause. She guided the room through the transformative practice of mindfulness and meditation, sharing how stillness isn’t a sign of slowing down in life but rather the very foundation from which we rise stronger, clearer, and more aligned.

BWB founder Tiya Gorain spoke about the power of coming together, because when women gather with intention, something truly magical happens. Wellness cannot be a solo journey, we grow stronger and dream bigger when we are held by a community that truly sees us. She spoke about the importance of building networks and circles of support where women feel safe enough to be vulnerable, bold enough to ask for help, and empowered enough to offer it in return.

Insightful talks by talented speakers sparked rich conversations around burnout, self-worth, and what it truly means to show up for yourself. Women opened up, shared their stories, and left feeling seen, heard, and understood. The free coaching and mentorship space gave attendees the chance to ask questions, gain clarity, and walk away with practical tools they could apply immediately; proof that real transformation doesn’t have to wait.

Above all, it was the connections that stole the show. Strangers became friends. Women who arrived alone left with a circle around them.

Special thanks to Program Co-Director Swaran Singh Rajput for her great work and to Alpana Srivastava for all the behind the scenes help & support.

A heartfelt thank you to Mansi Bhatia for all her support throughout. Deep gratitude to the dedicated Inspire & Unwind Team Members - Hina Arora, Rashmi Chauhan, and Lence Naumovski - for their unwavering commitment every week for this community. And a very special thank you to Shakun Rana Narang and Rashmi for the wonderful food that made the morning feel even more like home.

If you missed this one, there is no need to worry, we are back every Friday, 10:30 AM – 2:30 PM at The Community Hub, Castle Towers.
