NominateThe stories behind the trophies
Kylie has done such a great job bringing the ALIBI Awards to light. It is such a massive undertaking with lots of work going off in the background to be able to bring so many amazing business ladies together.
I was nominated in the 2023 ALIBI Awards, which gave me the push to tell them all about my small business and what it means to me. Imagine my complete shock when I took home the converted Purple Crystal Trophy for Outstanding Product Based Business 2023.
I look forward to the 2025 Awards and being able to celebrate the past year with some amazing Australian Ladies.
Applying for the Australian Ladies In Business Initiative Award gives you an opportunity to look closely at your business while answering the questions which in itself is a good practice. Just applying for an award creates the motivation to improve on what you are already doing.
I usually start applying for an award and then stop half way through an application but not in this instance. The whole experience from the day I was nominated, receiving a phone call advising me I was a finalist to the amazing awards night was a seamless and enjoyable experience.
If you are thinking about putting yourself forward, do it — it is a great experience.
Kylie should be congratulated on founding such a brilliant networking opportunity for ladies in business. I was fortunate enough to attend the 2023 awards ceremony at a beautiful venue on the harbour and humbled to be the winner of the Enduring Brilliance category.
I can't wait to see what 2025 will bring.
Becoming a member of Australian Ladies Business Initiative is one of the best things I have ever done for my business and for myself as a business owner. It's such an amazing supportive business network that has helped me through the tough times.
Since being a member of this extraordinary group I have been awarded with two shiny purple crystal crown awards — 2022 ALIBI Business Lady of the Year & 2023 Aspiring Leader of the Year — and finalist in other categories.
If you have been thinking of joining, stop procrastinating. You will thank yourself in the long run.
I've entered the ALIBI Awards in 2022, 2023 and 2024. It was a terrific night with delicious food, great company at an awesome location. It was a very positive environment where everyone was uplifting — a great way to network and to celebrate not only my achievements, but the achievements of other business ladies.
The awards process is great also. Instead of it being a popularity contest, the process allows business-owning ladies to review both the wins and challenges they've had.
I'm looking forward to participating in the 2025 ALIBI awards.
I have been in business for 18 years but never have I been in a room where so many strangers came together to uplift and support one another. Last year's award night brought around 140 people under one roof, and what unfolded was nothing short of electric.
While I didn't take home the coveted purple trophy, I left feeling like a winner. I was able to network with amazing women and speak with the judges and get real tangible feedback.
If you're a woman in business, whether it's online, Etsy, or brick and mortar, I wholeheartedly recommend connecting with this wonderful group.
Every Australian lady in business is the face of ALIBI.
Australian Ladies in Business Initiative — or ALIBI, as it's fondly known — believes that every member of our community, every Australian lady in business, is the face of ALIBI. But if you're asking about the founder, that would be me, Kylie King. I'm an award-winning hypnotherapist, past life regressionist, #1 bestselling author, and small business advocate. I have entered, won and judged various awards, including international ones. With all this experience, I have taken the best bits of other Award programs and combined them to make the ALIBI Awards program the best around.
About UsI wish to acknowledge the Dharug and Gundungurra People as the custodians of the place where the Australian Ladies in Business Initiative is based. The sacredness of this place in the Blue Mountains is deeply enjoyed and I acknowledge that part of its special nature is because of the custodial role you undertake here. Thank you. I'd also like to acknowledge all other Aboriginal peoples across this land and your deep and unwavering spiritual connection to the land, sea, and community. My admiration for your cultural connections and community inspires me to hold a space for a connected, authentic, and fun community of business ladies. I pay respect to the Elders of the lands across Australia and am committed to continue listening and learning how the Australian Ladies in Business Initiative can be inclusive of First Nations people.
