106: The power of being in the room: Scaling your business through live events with Elizabeth McQuillan

In this episode of the 'Actually, I Can! The Female Entrepreneur Podcast' I am joined by the fabulous Elizabeth McQuillan who is serial entrepreneur the CEO of Flamingo Business and events expert.

In this episode we are going to dive into: The power of being in the room: scaling your business through live events 

Elizabeth McQuillan is an award-winning entrepreneur, finance broker, and the founder of Flamingo Business and Flamingo Car Finance.

Known as The Event Expert, Elizabeth is recognised for turning rooms into revenue and visibility into serious commercial results. With over 25 years’ experience producing events ranging from intimate private dinners to sell-out theatres of over 1,000 people, she has mastered the art of using in-person experiences as a strategic growth engine for business owners.

Elizabeth works with ambitious women who are already successful but want more. More visibility. More authority. More aligned income. Through her luxury business events, high-level mentoring, and flagship experiences such as the Flamingo Business Awards, International Women’s Day, and immersive retreats, she helps clients move from being good at what they do to being known for it.

Alongside her events work, Elizabeth is also a highly respected car finance broker and founder of Flamingo Car Finance, where she demystifies the finance industry and helps clients make smart, tax-efficient vehicle decisions with confidence. Her unique positioning bridges money, strategy, visibility, and lifestyle, showing business owners how to build wealth both on and off the balance sheet.

What sets Elizabeth apart is not just her results, but her method. She combines strategic thinking, commercial insight, and deep understanding of human connection to create experiences that drive real outcomes. Her clients do not just attend events. They secure partnerships, land clients, generate five and six figures in revenue, and elevate their reputation in the room.

Warm, straight-talking, and fiercely committed to excellence, Elizabeth is known for creating spaces where women rise together without competition, ego, or fluff. Every room she curates is intentional, profitable, and designed to move people forward.

Elizabeth believes that success is built through visibility, relationships, and decisive action and that the right room can change everything.
