The Lisa Bean Podcast

This is the truth of how I went from zero to £100,000 in online sales in my online coaching business.

Look, I know you’re trying and I know you think it should be working right now. You took the leap to build your online business, you’ve made sales here and there but it feels too hard and you’re wondering: Will this ever work; have I got what it takes?

IT WILL AND YOU DO but -

You’ve got to do what will actually work and I’m going to be really straight and tell you what those things are right now.

The truth is it’s harder than a lot of people will tell you online. For this to work, you've got to be so hungry for this to work, you've got to feel like it’s your life's mission to show up in this way and make this work, you've got to focus on learning the proper skills of positioning value, marketing, mindset and sales to turn on sales and set yourself free.

I know you want more clients and I know you can help more people. But I also know that the best coaches don't win - the best marketeers do, every time. So, if you want to build an online business and be an online coach or course provider, you've got to accept the fact you're about to become an expert in online marketing and selling. And I'm going to help you!

So here's the bottom line. In a job, you get paid for showing up, regardless if you do the work or not. In entrepreneurship you do not get paid for showing up. You get paid for two reasons: (1) You added meaningful value to someone who was willing to pay for that value; and (2) Enough people got the chance to consider that valuable offer in the first place. If you’re not making sales it HAS to come down to one of those two things and both are skills you develop with work, trial and error and well, more work.

-

For juicy context, here are some of those key ideas:

(1) Get into the world:

First and foremost (hilarious phrase!?) you’ve got to get out in the world and sell things. Content will not lead to sales, no matter how great it is. What leads to sales is webinars, masterclasses, live workshops, discovery calls, freebies with a clear call to action.

In the beginning, I understood this deeply. I made a lot of content to help build my brand and build trust, but I was ALLLWAAYYYSSS launching, selling stuff, trying stuff. I’d put on events in local coffee shops, I’d book hotel venues and put on talks every month, I’d go live on Facebook and announce new course launches. When I look back on my journey, I can see I was out there in the world. I was making new connections ALL THE TIME. I was meeting people. I was making pitches and offering things and I built my business one client at a time.

Now, I tend to do long copy PDFs, and online masterclasses and workshops rather than live stuff. Back then, I did a lot in person.

So ask yourself: How many times have I offered something low risk to bring people to the front of the room this year? If you can 10x that you will massively increase your sales.

(2) Tell people what you believe:

Don’t share boring generic sh!t and DON’T YOU DARE USE CHAT WHATEVER IT’S CALLED TO SHARE YOUR CONTENT. I don’t even think you can use it for ideas if I’m honest. No-one wants to hear from a robot and no-one wants a generic summary of waffle off the internet. They want to know what worked for you! They want your powerful insights. They want the map you made! They want a human's journey.

So honestly, get really deep with yourself and think about two things: (1) What is the one big outcome you can deliver right now for clients; and (2) What is the truth of what that will take. Go make that content. Go write those mailers. Go build offers in answer to that.

(3) More time with clients:

Listen - get on calls with clients, offer more group time, offer more live time, offer more 121 time. If you’re not making sales right now, being tight with your time is hilarious isn’t it?! Instead offer more!! Double the time they get with you.

If you have an online course, introduce a live weekly call where you teach key concepts and answer questions. If you’re coaching is 6 sessions, make it 6 sessions + 3 action check ins. If you have a group, make one week live training and another week dedicated Q&A.

This doesn’t just make it a great offer, it gives you so much valuable insight about where people are, what they need, how you can help.

The best coaches / trainers in the world aren’t the ones who make all the sales. The best sales people are the ones who make all the sales.

What I mean is that they use very specific sales strategies to find customers, position the benefits and ask for the sale.

In my experience, this is the part a lot of purpose driven coaches and course providers avoid. Sometimes it’s not even conscious. They’ve literally never been taught how to sell. What I find these people doing instead is posting content that doesn’t really show the product, move the customer forward or link to the next logical step in the sales process.

So, if you want to make more sales in your online coaching / education business, press play to learn:

(1) The difference between ‘lead’ content and ‘brand’ content and why your current content isn’t generating sales + how to fix this instantly;

(2) The one thing you can do in your week to instantly drum up more business and make more sales online; and,

(3) How to tackle the mindset of selling and online sales in a really different way.

This episode is motivational, strategic and tactical. 

I think it’s a bit of a corker.

In this episode, I want to bring you behind the scenes of this book writing process and tell you three things that are changing the way I think about 'commercial success' and the very act of finishing your purpose-led work (your art) and letting it be seen.

I think all of us have something purpose-driven within us; a form of art we want to share with the world. In the beginning, we must allow room for the messy start so that we can get our first ideas onto paper, and then see that process through to a commercial polish in order to help that art be seen in the world.

I'm covering:

I'm also covering context for the book including:

I've read a lot of books on how to change your life and I've only really made sense of something in the past two years:

There are three 'levels' of change and you can use all of them to access new levels of change in your life.

In today's episode, I'm going to run you through those three levels of change for changing your life and show you how I used them to get over depression, pay of £100,000 in debt and even walk on fire! Curve ball!

Being an entrepreneur is one of the craziest, stupidest, dumbest things you're going to attempt. And once you are afflicted with the purpose of being an entrepreneur and building companies, you can't help it. You cannot suppress entrepreneurship. If you've got a drive to create things, just accept that you're stuck with it.

In this episode, I want to talk about burnout and overwhelm. I'm going to run through the things I do to manage burnout and keep it at bay. At the end of the episode, I'm going to show you how to reframe your goals, and break them down using four key categories that will make it easier to understand what's required to go the distance without burning out and feeling totally overwhelmed.

And I promise you, I will not mention SMART goals ONCE!

What I’m Covering:

To break through as an entrepreneur, you’ll need to put in the work of an elite athlete. But don't punish yourself on this crazy journey. There is a better way to succeed and achieve your goals, without the burnout and overwhelm.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the three key things you can do to reprogramme the way you think and respond to certain situations.

We also look at how we become more conscious of our behaviours and what triggers them, how to find a new response to an old situation, and how to override the memory of who you are to change your life.

This is the most challenging concept to grasp in changing your life: To change your life, you really must change who you are!

So many good-hearted entrepreneurs are afraid to post content for so many reasons. But it's holding the good ones back from being of service, and well - changing the world!

In this episode, I've really tried you inspire you on the content creation front, break down some myths about content creation and show you three key things to nail when making your own content. 

So press play to learn:

Why it's so important to build value up front, and how this directly correlates with online sales, you winner!

Remember: Your ‘profile’ is your authority in the market place. The bigger (or more relevant) your profile is, the more you can help people and the more you can sell. 

Therefore, by focusing on building your profile (and leading up front with value-based AND more personal content), you’re really focusing on preparing your business to win more wonderful clients short and long-term. Who can say no to that?

By the end of the episode, I'm going to have shown you how to find the one big subconscious block that is holding you back from everything you want in your life and business. And I'm telling you now it is hiding in plain sight. I'm going to show you how to spot it, and then we're going to work through how you actually resolve it.

When I think about thought leadership, what comes to my mind is this: a thought leader is someone worth following.

And why is that someone worth following? Because they are full of deep insights, wisdom, experience, life lived and most of all, they have practiced sharing their message consistently over a long period of time. So practice is the word you want. You're not going to get good in your head, you get good by putting stuff out in the world, seeing how it lands, getting feedback, and building your message one person at a time.

In today's episode, I want to share with you what you can do with your thought leadership, and talk you through six key things that you can consider when developing yours.

Here’s what I cover:

Direction Truth Wisdom Insights Hope Courage

Thought leadership is what it takes to build a scalable six-figure online business making a living doing what you love, from a place of passion and purpose when you're a good hearted entrepreneur. So if you’re ready to do some challenging thinking and develop your unique thought leadership, join me on this episode, it’s a juicy one!

Resources: 

This weekend, I attended the Hay House Writer's Workshop about writing and publishing a book and took enough notes to write a book!

It was phenomenal - the energy, the people, the content, the speakers. I will tell you up front: I highly recommend this event to any good-hearted person who dreams of writing and publishing their own book. 

But - the event didn't just teach you how to finish that book and get it out there in the world. It covered so much more including:

There was such a beautiful energy at the event; an energy of 'being of service'. 

There was also a very strong message about writing with joy. You put a lot of 'life force' and energy into a book so don't make it a slog - make it joyous.

Anyway, I don't want to give it all away. Press play. I think you'll get a lot from today's episode about business, marketing and purpose, as well about about writing your book and getting published. 

Additional resources I mention in the episode

Let's connect: 

How do you develop a mindset for success that you want in your online business? And how do you practice and maintain it?

I want to share with you three key ideas that have transformed the results that I see in my life. Let me be honest with you right away - they all came from pain. Because without the pain of rock bottom, I wouldn't have learned what I'm about to share with you today, and I wouldn't have gotten the results that I got in the years that followed.

I’m also going to give you some journaling prompts to help you answer deep and important questions about your desires, thoughts and actions, so you can upgrade your mindset and start rocking those online sales!

What is Covered:

Additional resources to help you upgrade your mindset:

Let's connect: 

If you're feeling overwhelmed in your business and life, it's very likely to be both of them together. Overwhelm comes in different shapes. You feel like you’re running out of money, there’s never enough time for what you have to do, and there’s pressure on you to know all the answers.

If that's how you feel, know that it is so normal for entrepreneurs. 

But I can't allow you to continue down that path. We can change it, and in this episode, I’ll talk you through a three-step process to deal with overwhelm.

What You’ll Learn:

I’ll leave you to work through these steps with a quote by my mum who said, “Lisa, you can be anything, you can do anything, you can do it all, but you can't do it all today.” So calm down, tune in and pick one or two things that resonate with you that you can do today.

Resources: 

When you do a launch as a coach or a trainer, you win your customers and that feels great. Then six months go by, you're so busy delivering for the customers that you forget to go out selling. And now you're back to square one - there's no cash coming in and you're in big trouble. 

The remedy for that is building a strategic six-figure business that generates a pipeline of leads for your business. If you want to know how to do that, in this episode I'm going to give you four key pointers for building a strategic six-figure business packed with leads.  

Here’s what I cover: 

Once you nail these four levels, you’ll never run out of leads or pipeline again. That is how building a strategic six-figure business works. And If you want to learn a little bit more, I've written 30 pages explaining exactly how to do this. Get your free download here:  https://lisa-bean.com/six-figures/ 

Resources: 

How do I make money in my business today? That's the question I get asked a lot. 

If you’re a coach or a course creator and you're doing it all, from planning the launch, delivering on it, to dealing with taxes - it’s a lot, I understand. And so entrepreneurs sneakily love to say - I'm too busy to sell. Now, let’s get this straight: to be an entrepreneur is to sell stuff. It is so stressful to be delivering all the time only to watch the money run out and all of a sudden find yourself trying to make something up and go out to the market again. 

This episode is going to tackle what happens if you're in that situation. I’ll share three things you can do to make more money in your business right now and start getting cash in immediately. 

Here’s what I cover: 

And here’s my invitation for you: I'm inviting you to work through the three ideas I share in this episode this week, and then next week I'll come back diving deeper into another question - how do I build a strategic six-figure business? 

Resources: 

How odd is this concept: 75% of your job as an entrepreneur, trying to build a multiple six figure thing, is sales and marketing.

I mean: If you’re wondering what you should be doing today, it’s this:

- Making offers and making them better - Posting content and building audience and pipeline - Adding value to future customers and making sales

Once those jobs are ticked, you can raise your invoices, book your calls, reply to the person quoting you insurance. These jobs are secondary. Your main job is to market and to sell.

Again…

Your main job as an online coach / provider is to market and sell.

How does that sit with you? Does it feel weird? I bet it does. Good people who feel driven by purpose ALSO have a feeling deep down that selling is a bit odd. We want to share our gifts and knowledge, and we want to help...for free.

You can of course build a model like that, where you give away your gifts for free. But you’d have to make your money elsewhere. A lottery win. Marrying into money. A job. Another business that funds this one.

Or…you can build a model where you get to add a lot of value, and make a lot of sales. That’s what I’m talking about in today’s video but first, a little more context…

I know you might feel like you’re wasting your time editing a video that only 100 people see. You wish you were better on camera / at editing / with lighting. You wish you could afford to outsource it. You wish more people would see it.

You might feel frustrated, like ‘Argh, that’ll do’, finalising the sales page for your next offer, knowing you’re anxious about selling. You wish someone could just send you the clients. You wish selling was easier.

But this is business: marketing, selling; learning to move people to action. The very nature of being an entrepreneur means learning how to provide value in exchange for money. And like anything worth doing, it is truly a skill that requires mastery. It takes time and hours in. Again… Marketing and selling are skills that require mastery.

And the more time and effort you put in, the better you will get.

You WILL be better at positioning value if you craft 20 offers in a year instead of three. You WILL be better at marketing if you post once a day, rather than twice a week. You WILL figure it all out faster if you lean in and recognise that this is a skill that requires practice, time in and attempts. The work will mould you.

That being said, there is something you can take advantage of to help you on this journey. All of us have an ‘edge’ – a skill that we’ve developed without even knowing it; a skill that has become so baked into our personalities that it’s natural and normal to us now. You will even use it today. For me, growing up as a military kid and moving home / country every two years, then going off to boarding school had its downsides, but it also gave me something I will value and leverage forever. I am good with people.

I am very quick at reading people. I know people. Sometimes I feel like I can read minds. I know how people are feeling, what they’re not telling me, where I need to push, and where I need to encourage more gently. I learnt this from having to fit in and make friends over and over and over again. I learnt this as a child, in a natural way, without books and psychology and hacks. It’s became part of who I am, and then I built on it with books, psychology, training, and hours in coaching and helping.

Using this little bit of magic, I can find the crux of an offer, I can build honest relationships quickly, I can position the value people want. I can sell.

In the coming weeks, I want you to reflect on this concept and ask: What is my little bit of magic? What skill or ability have I developed that I can lean on and use in my business, to help me add value, to make deals, to sell?

We all have something. You have something, I promise you. So what is it? And how can you use it more? Start looking.

Meanwhile, this might help as a reminder of what’s important when it comes to selling at this level. In this week’s instalment, I’m showing you the three places where the sale happens. What I’m about to share with you is known to six figure business owners who continue to sell and grow. If you can shift your mindset to master this approach, you can sell and sell, build and build, and never have to worry about where your next sale will come from.

Enjoy.

“People set these crazy plans and approaches and targets they can never meet because: over-egging your plan and setting crazy targets is a form of sabotage - it gives you the ultimate out.”

New video now live - Getting it finished: 5 softer approaches for getting your important work done.

The secret to success is 49% action and 99% ‘YOU’ - shh, that adds up scientifically - and the capacity you have to do three things:

Even when you create the time and resolve to take action and do the important work, it’s still your mindset that will allow it or block it.

What if someone judges how I look on camera?

What if it isn’t good enough and no-one buys it?

What if it only gets five likes and then everyone thinks I’m silly for posting?

There are two types of work us lot need to do.

The first type of work is output related. Show me your chapter outline. Give me a one pager on your new programme idea. Let’s see your first video cut.

That’s physical output - stuff other people can see, buy, use and share. That makes sense right?

The second type of work is all internal.

It’s feeling vulnerable about posting a video, recognising that story started as a child for you, and supporting yourself to show up in a way that feels safe to you over time. It’s a process, it’s not an outcome.

It’s knowing you have a habit of giving away all of your money because you think that’s what it takes to receive love, and working hard to spot it when you do it, sit in the discomfort of deciding to keep your money and doing the work to change your story about your own worthiness. It’s a process, it’s not an outcome.

It’s recognising you tend to say yes to everyone else and your dreams have ended up one week down the list, one year down the list, one decade down the list and now you’re working through the guilt you feel just for taking some time to work on yourself. It’s a process, it’s not an outcome.

THAT’S THE WORK ISN’T IT?

When people say to me things like “Lisa, I’m struggling to post because I feel like an imposter”, there is often a full stop there. But the sentence can’t stop there. There must be an exploration of where this comes from, what benefits it’s giving you now, and how you plan to work through this.

All the while, there is mounting pressure to post, to create, to finish and so you heap tonnes of guilt on top of the fact you’re struggling to get things done.

I know, because I feel it too. That second example above - the money / love one - that [has been] me [in the past]!

So we need something else, don’t we?

It’s taken me a long time to learn what it really takes to change your life and get projects over the line. Sometimes it is MASSIVE, high energy, physical action, it’s true. Sometimes, you do just wake up, shut down a business, move to Manchester and finish the book ;-)

And sometimes it’s SLOW, gentle, bumpy action that includes reading books about trauma, spotting patterns over years of cycles, going to therapy to work things out, and creating safe places to create.

In this video, I’d like to look at this slower, gentler energy and give you five different strategies you can explore for making progress on your real dreams. Safely. Creatively. For the longterm outcome not the short term fix.

Spoiler alert: I’m not letting you off the hook today. I’m saying that there are two types of work - the output and the mindset. This video says ‘here’s how to finish the output, by focusing on the mindset work’.

Dive in. You’re ready for more.

How to change your life in 2023 using subconscious reprogramming, value shifts and environmental changes.

If you want to truly change your life in 2023, you cannot JUST 'speak it into existence' or 'write it down and let it go'.

That requires a level of belief that most people don't yet have. But fear not! You can build it!

There are four key things you need to do to change your life, including changing the way you speak to yourself and the environment you're in.

In this final episode in this three part mini series on how to change your life in 2023, I'm going to show you HOW to build that belief in yourself, how your environment can trigger change, and how to think about vision vs. goals to make your dream life your new reality.

Press play for more.

#purpose #uncoveryourpurpose #lifepurpose

In this episode, I’m going to show you how to uncover your purpose, link it to your vision in life and do the one true action that will help you live a life of purpose. No more hiding. No more delay.

Each and every single one of us has a unique purpose on this planet. FACTS. In basic terms, it’s to become the fullest expression of yourself. To show yourself. To be of value. To use yourself up. Most of us just aren’t doing this with our life purpose. We’re hiding. Shrinking back. Ignoring ‘the call’ and that’s a problem.

Your unique purpose in life sits deep in your heart and your soul. It doesn’t show itself under pressure and strain. Like Palmer J. Parker said in Let Your Life Speak - your purpose is like a tiger in the jungle. Wild, but shy. To find it, you can't go storming into the tress. You have to sit quietly under the base of a tree and wait for it to show.

So here are the two things you have to accept about finding your purpose in life:

#1 You can’t charge towards your purpose. It comes from within. You listen to it. You trust it. You take action in faith, and in doing do, you charge towards your vision! Your purpose begins as a whisper and the more you listen, the louder it speaks.

#2 The second thing you have to accept about purpose is that you were given gifts to help you live out your purpose. The likelihood is, you think those gifts are normal, like everyone has them. And so you use them, you don’t leverage them. And if you’re not using them, you’re wasting them.

In this video, I'm going to share with you three simple but powerful questions to help you uncover your purpose, strengthen your connection to that purpose and take bold steps to live a life of deeper purpose.

I'm a business coach, yup. BUT: Without a crazy, bold belief in myself, and without installing that belief in my clients, we'd be nowhere. NOWHERE.

In this episode, I'm attempting to summarise the three biggest things I've learnt about belief, self-belief, and how you get the results you want through subconscious reprogramming.

I want to show you how subconscious beliefs are formed. Why we have them. And give you three steps for reprogramming them for good. Honestly? It's not as big a deal as it sounds.

80% of the battle is being willing to let go of the comfort of who you were to embrace who you know you can be.

And the other 20% is consistency around three simple things, which I'm sharing with you in the video. Dig in, this one is worth it...

#changeyourlife #subconsciousmind #subconsciousreprogramming

Yesterday, I recorded the start of a new podcast ten times. I am not exaggerating or rounding up for smartness. I even paused after six attempts, had a tea break and tried again. I was committed to producing a podcast episode. 

The theme I'd selected was based on a training I'd delivered a week earlier for my business community: How to build a six figure online marketing funnel.

The training was fire! Fast paced. Challenging. A direct call to arms to be useful, to work hard, to focus on client results at every step of the funnel. But it just didn't translate to a podcast for a wider audience. Something that felt really poignant and topical for one audience became cliche and general for another. 

Without considering why that was the case, I called my dad and said "Dad, I'm not working today - do you want to go and surprise mum at work?". He was a yes. I told him I'd be leaving in an hour. I just had to walk the dogs and send some client emails first.

Deciding to walk away from the episode gave me something. Freedom? Space? It let me off the hook! It meant I didn't have to produce something practical or functional. I didn't have to 'tick the box' of marketing that day. It just wasn't happening. I'd tried. 

Somewhat ironically, then, I found myself reaching for my iPhone, whilst looping the field, to record the introduction of the podcast I wasn't making. It felt fun, light, in flow. I recorded myself calling back the dogs. I recorded myself clipping them in. And that's when I realised what was bothering me. 

Content for the sake of content demotivates me. I can't produce something for the sake of it. I don't like to and I don't want to. And I don't have to.

When I think of what inspires me, what really gets me flowing, it's the opportunity to create something new and different that will make people smile and ask 'how did she do that?'. I don't want to be a follower, of a pattern or a style or a formula. I want to be a leader, a creator, an original.

With that idea in mind, I recorded my thoughts (and the rest of my day) on my iPhone, sharing the concept of 'being useful'. Today's podcast episode is the result of that work. We explore the importance of being truly useful in a world filled with more and more content. We look at the catalytic effect of desire in making the world a better place for the people you can help. And I challenge you to produce something meaningful for your business today, instead of ticking yet another item off the list. 

I hope you enjoy.

I know one thing for sure: You will make it if you keep going. In today's new extended episode, I'm going to share with you four key things to prioritise in tough times to ENSURE you keep going towards your goal. 

Here's the Thought Leadership free 40-page guide I mentioned: https://lisa-bean.com/tl/

And here's a link to the upcoming paid workshop on developing your unique Thought Leadership https://lisa-bean.com/tl/workshop/

This episode will change your life if you take action on these four things.

For example: Stop focusing on the external environment around you - stop waiting for stability and certainty to return externally (it ain't coming!) and instead focus on creating a stable footing underneath yourself so you can feel motivated and do the work that matters.

I believe we all have a purpose and that purpose is to be the fullest expression of ourselves. It's to use our gifts to do our job, and help people live better lives in the process.

But we can't do this if we're waiting for things to settle down or return to normal.

Today, I want to encourage you (rather directly!) to re-take control of your future, do the work to create a stable footing underneath yourself, and take action to change your life and the life of the people around you.

Content creation is hard work. Building a business is hard work. Changing your life is hard work. And that's okay!

It's okay for this to take time and feel 'hard'.

Don't focus on that.

Instead, focus on doing work you enjoy, getting better & better, and helping thousands of other people in the process.

You know how I feel about results. You don't just get what you ask for; you get what you are!

Action with positive intent leads to results.

You've got to Be The Person (TM) who does the thing!

I want my clients and my community to put in the hours.

I want my clients and my community to work hard.

I want my clients and my community to push themselves and grow.

And what's wrong with that?

My message this week? Lean in. Turn up. Put in the hours. Be the leader we need.

Your gift is your path.

Change your life with 3 simple questions that PROVE you know how to make your idea happen.

Plus - why it's so VITAL that you follow through on your ideas.

This audio is an extract from a training I delivered for a business community I run. Each week, I go live and share some new ideas to keep people focused on their next level in life and business before answering questions.

This week, I shared three simple questions to help people realise they already have the answers within them.

Press play to hear the questions and find your own answers...

Ideas come in like the waves, in and out, in and out.

Then every now and then, a group of ideas crash together in a crescendo that has the power to change your life. The ideas meet. They have a theme. You see the golden thread that connects them into something bigger than any idea on its own.

But of course - ideas are no good to the person who turns away. When you ask for help, for guidance, for a miracle, the answer often comes in the form of hope, a change in perspective, in ideas. The hope, the new perspective, the idea is the key, it is the path.

And it’s WHO YOU BECOME in bringing that idea to life that will get you through to the next level.

So tune in to the inspiration you’re already receiving.

Start to write down the ideas you have. And find the courage to take action. Bringing the ideas to life IS the path to the life you want.

If the customers aren’t coming you have to ask yourself: Have I realllly done the one true action that will win me new clients?

Like, honestly?

There is a BIG difference between making a sales page and then selling your offer, just like there is a big difference between picking your plants for a new garden and then actually putting your shovel in the mud.

Did you ever used to watch Gary Vee's daily vlogs? I loved them! I'm not sure if they're back now, but the ones pre-world-shut-down. Ah man they were fab - music, broll, daily life. Right up my video editing street.

Anyway, in the intro to them, he used to step off a jet and you'd hear him say: "I just want to be happy, don't you want to be happy?".

Those words are repeated in my head DAILY. And even more so if I feel down or stuck or demotivated.

That notion - 'I just want to be happy' - has prompted some crazy decisions in me for a long time.

I guess I just believe that there is nothing more 'successful' than being happy, truly, deeply, happy. Safe & secure, with means to live well, yes...and happy.

I also believe that if we do what is 'for us' in this lifetime - if we're brave and follow the calling, if we do what lights us up - the other things we desire will follow anyway. It's hard of course, finding the courage to pursue happiness over familiarity, happiness over comfort, happiness over status quo.

It's often real 'rock the boat of life' stuff we have to do. And a lot of people pause when it comes to the 'taking action' part.

I guess that's what I'm talking about in today's voice note - what comes before action, what makes us happy, who we want to become.

Two things...

1. Vision / destination / goal / intention / desire.

2. Belief / resolve / willingness to try / energy / motivation to act.

Often people know what they want and won’t admit it. Then know what it will take and won’t do it.

I think the first one comes down to a fear of failure or getting hurt and the second one comes down to a belief of ‘not me’, as in - other people can do this but I can’t.

I doubt myself all the time when I’m shooting for more. In those times I lean heavily on journalling, affirmations annnnddd the belief of others.

Every day we have a choice: Avoid the hard stuff and distract ourselves with checkout activities. Which really just makes the pain bigger in the long run.

Or...

Lean on positive habits like books, exercise, motivation content etc. to find just enough courage to take one small step.

When I was totally lost in depression I learnt not to lean on my own motivation at that time - I didn’t have any!

So I borrowed other people's.

I read so many autobiographies of business owners who’d turned things around. I listened to comedians on my runs. I played motivational music and speeches and FLOODED my mind and subconscious with the new thoughts I knew I had to believe.

And with that, I found the courage each day to do a little something for my future - post, pay off some debt, learn. And I am so grateful to that past version of myself who tried in agony.

The life we’ll live tomorrow will be set up by the courage we can muster today.

Happiness, like most good things - It's not a passive process. The passive process of life will see you falling into the trenches of what is easy, what is comfortable, what you've done before. Happiness requires that you actively put yourself in the way of what you want in your life, and you put yourself on the line and you risk failure.

Everybody's terrified of failure but fear is only ever one of two things. You're afraid it will fail and you won't look good. And the other fear is fear of getting hurt.

Here's the thing that I love, right…

Every time you take action on something, you're basically saying, I have faith that this could work. I believe that this might turn out. I believe that if I give it a go and I commit to it, I will figure something out along the way and I'll probably end up where I want to be.

Any time you procrastinate or hold back or make an excuse or whatever, you're basically saying, I'm fearful that this won't turn out. I’m afraid it won't work. I don't have faith in my ability to see this through.

So if you're procrastinating on anything like putting a post out, writing a book, going to the gym, going on dating apps, remind yourself that all you're doing is protecting yourself from the fear of failure, from the fear that it won't work out.

Well, let me tell you, you've already failed because it's never going to work out if you're not even in the game. If you literally don't give it a go, you have failed anyway. So the very thing you tried to protect yourself from, you just ran into at 100 miles an hour.

Why do that?

The thing that you want sits on the other side of you taking action.

Changing your life is an active, not a passive, process.

There are stories and ideas and beliefs you’re running that are stupid and mean and cruel.

What speaker would say to themselves: “You suck! You’ll never get paid to speak!”

What writer would say to themselves: “You’ve got nothing to say, don’t even begin!”

What coach would say to themselves: “You don’t know enough. Don’t even think about posting that!”

Of course, we don’t say these things out loud or even consciously. They’re thoughts, ideas, vibes we hold in our subconscious mind.

Who cares why. Who cares where they came from.

What I care about is this:

1 - You define what you want to become.

2 - You dig deep and list out how you feel about this. What ideas support you here? What fears do you have? What’s the dominant thought you have in the background around this goal?

3 - Write it all down! Pay attention. GET CONSCIOUSNESS over the feelings you hold. Say them out loud. Put them into words.

4 - REWRITE THEM! Rewrite the beliefs you need to hold and repeat them until your subconscious mind accepts them as truth.

This sounds too simple to work but it literally does lol.

A belief is JUST something we’ve repeated enough times that we hold it to be fact.

It’s not fact!

“I don’t have time” is an opinion, not a fact.

“I’m not good enough” is an opinion, not a fact.

“I don’t deserve it” is an option, not a fact.

Don’t ignore this advice. It will change your life.

Set your intention. Go searching for the feelings / blocks / self limiting beliefs. Put them into words. REWRITE the belief you need and repeat, repeat, repeat until you hold it to be true.

Meanwhile…

Of course you need to back this up with action! Don’t just say stuff and return to your normal behaviours.

Repeat the new beliefs AND use that vibe to sit down to write a post.

Repeat the new beliefs AND use that energy to get yourself on the dating app!

Repeat the new belief AND use that power to create a speaker bio.

Beliefs and actions come hand in hand. Through both, we gain confidence, experience and momentum!

#howtochange #changeyourlife #changeyourmindset

Honestly? There are only two things you have to focus on if you want to change your life now and it really is as simple as this:

(1) How you see yourself; and, (2) The action YOU prioritise.

It's tragic to think we know something we want and we even know how to get it and yet we simply don't do the 'one true action' that will get us there.

It's like waking up and saying: "I'm desperate to be in shape. I know all I have to do is make better food and move a little more each day but instead I think I'll eat this entire bag of [whatever] and sit at my desk all day".

Or "I urgently want (and need) to grow my business. To do that all I need to do is actually complete my new offer, invite more people to consider it through webinars / events / ads but instead I think I'll clear my inbox and sit and worry about the money running out."

Why? We actually do this don't we?

Think now of something you want. And identify the two basic things you'd have to do in order to make it happen. So why won't you do those two things? What is stopping you?

I think it all comes down to how you see yourself and therefore the action you prioritise...

And, I guess - focus. Is that thing in focus now? Do you bring it back into focus daily, by watching content like this and actually taking action.

Listen! You CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE. And the changes you make today will be the life you live tomorrow. So forgive yourself for the past. Accept you're capable of change today. Press play and follow this process - 6 fundamental ways to change your life NOW.

You can do it. It's been done before. And it will be done again.

Over and out! Lisa :-) 

The truth is: There is one thing you can rely on more than anything to get a result.

Whether that’s finally changing your body, or finally getting out of debt, or finally launching that membership…

Change comes down to one key thing: Did YOU sit your butt in the chair and do the ONE TRUE ACTION that brings about the change you want to see in your life?

Working on the garden this month has reminded me with such power and yet such simplicity that where you focus goes, energy flows.

Tackling a major project in your life can be daunting and there is a lot to do and a lot to overcome.

But don't worry about steps four, five and six just yet. You're not there yet. Sit your butt in the chair (or get your butt in the garden) and just do the true action in front of you right now.

Press play to remind yourself today of the one big goal that will change your life, find the ONE TRUE ACTION that will see it through and practice being the person who can prioritise the task.

#changeyourlife #motivationalvideo #howtochange

​Have you realised that to change your life [insert goal - write book, scale business, change health, move, fall in love, change career], you don't just have to 'make changes', but you have to consistently act deeply 'out of character for yourself' on a consistent basis to experience the new outcome.

Obviously, that is going to feel horrendous because you think your character is YOU.

But it's not.

It's just a collection of ideas, memories, beliefs and values you've come to focus on, remember and prioritise. Like a path we tread in the grass. The more we tread it, the more engrained it becomes. Your 'character' has become deeply engrained.

With a bit of effort, we can change the path and we can change our character.

I know this sounds crazy but...

Everyone has a 'return to type' - a way they respond when things get tough. Let's say for example - an idea doesn't work, you're facing confrontation, you feeling out of control or exposed. In all these situations, you have a way of responding, a type you return to.

This is why change doesn't stick because when it happens, people feel out of control and return to type, their type, their character.

Therefore, to change your life, you must learn to change what is characteristic for you. You must act out of character.

You ready for this work?

Let's see...

I hope this gives you something to think about today! ​

Lisa :-)

#vision #purpose #howtoliveyourpurpose

When people tell me "I'm so lost", "I don't know what my purpose is", "I don't know what I want for my life", I gently and with a little cheek reply "You know exactly what you want and what to do next, you're just not yet comfortable with the answer".

I think deep down we all know what we want. We all know what is for us. We know the 'truth' of our next move. But, because we're human and we're good people, we can't help but think about the impact this change will have on other people, and on our own reputations. "How will this look?", "What will they say?".

And it's just too much to bear. So we stay. And we struggle. And we explain it by declaring to ourselves "I feel so lost!".

It helps me to realise that ACTION isn't the first stage in this process of change. Before action comes the need to ADMIT the truth, then the process of ACCEPTING that truth. Only then do we need to turn our attention to action.

And you can take as long as you want at each stage. But there is a vital difference between engaging in this process and doing work, and ignoring it in hope things will just get better.

So go easy on yourself, but don't ignore the truth. Break it down. Admit it first. Spend time accepting it next. And then, turn your energy to action.

Admit. Accept. Act.

The change you want to make in your life is inevitable. It will happen in the end. So engage positively and humanly in this process and be part of the change you want.

MEMBERSHIP NOW LIVE:

I can't believe I get to announce this today. My brand new monthly membership Be The Person Who Does The Thing is now live and available to join.

In this first month, we're diving deep on purpose, vision and the person you need to become to hold the life you want in your hands.

Each month, there will be a brand new challenge, a worksheet and a monthly live (via Zoom) to hold you accountable, keep you focused and get you doing the work!

It's time to engage more deeply in the process of change.

#howtochange #changeyourlife

Change is a painful process. It requires we forfeit what we know and what people know of us in order to go after something our hearts desire.

Sometimes, often in fact, we can’t explain why we want what we want, we just know that it’s right.

It’s a feeling.

It’s a notion.

It’s a whisper in our hearts.

What comes through in that whisper isn’t just clarification of the desire, but the whole programme required to meet that desire. Your desire is both the clue as to what’s next, and the map for making it happen.

The whisper might be asking you to make room for what’s next by leaving the job, leaving the relationship, moving home, creating a studio, taking time off, booking an event.

Or it could be showing you who you can be in the notion of a vision or an idea for a book or business.

You know what the whisper is telling you. And you’re the only one who does. No-one can define it for you, or clarify the message. No-one can interpret it for you or help you make sense of it. Because it rarely does make sense. It’s a map, not a destination. It’s an invitation, not the party. And the answer builds with every courageous step you take.

My instinct tells me it might be a fairly new idea but it’s far more likely to be something you’ve been hearing for a while. It's been sitting so quietly and patiently in the background, waiting for you to be ready for the truth.

You might not realise have realised it until this moment but the whisper is the answer. It’s the path to the happiness and ease and peace you seek. And the transformation begins the moment you tune in and start to listen more fully to that whisper.

So what is it telling you? What is for you? What is the truth?

As you start to connect more deeply to the desire and tune into the whisper, things will start to move around you. Your tolerances change. You notice little moments of magic and ease. You start to feel the contrast of what is ‘not for you’ more heavily. You get annoyed, you feel impatient.

What follows acknowledgement isn’t action, but decision. Before we act, we must come to terms with the whisper and decide on the change; on a course of action. You might find yourself saying: “I know what to do, but I’m scared, this is so destructive, I’m dreading doing the thing, what if this doesn’t work?”. This isn’t a bad thing. Even without action, the decision to act is a powerful thing. It says: “I am ready to be ready to act”.

Of course, the transformation only truly moves into reality when we finally take action, inspired by the whisper. We hand in our notice. We start the blog. We have the conversation. And all hell breaks loose! But we find that we are equipped to handle it. What the whisper has been telling you isn’t just a clue, but the entire map of what is about to unfold in your life for the greatest possible good.​

So when you find yourself asking ‘What’s next?’, ‘What is this all for?’, ‘What is for me?’, don’t look outside of yourself for the answer. Be quiet and listen carefully. Your heart knows the answer and it’s been whispering it to you the whole time. 

Acknowledge it. Make the decision. And back it up with courageous action.

#changeyourlife #findclarity #motivationalvideo

When a new client says to me: "Lisa, I'm just not making enough sales in my online business", the first thing I ask is:

"Okay, how much time did you spend this month on pitching offers, speaking to customers, hosting webinars, telling people about your online course or membership or coaching programme?"

The answer is always "Erm, well...".

Business is not a joke. It doesn't have to be a punishment, but it's not a joke. You can't sit still, posting things on social media, and hope the sales will follow. They won't. I know this is really direct but sometimes we need the reminder: Bold results come from bold action.

To sell in business you must create a process that educates your prospective clients on who you are, on what you do and on how your offer will give them what they truly desire.

This means:

1. Crafting an offer people want to buy.

2. Demonstrating that you can help your client get what they want faster or more easily or with less pain or effort, through your unique process or approach.

3. Turning up where customers are and pitching for their custom. This means running webinars, sharing PDFs, opening the doors, hopping on discovery calls, making it clear you have an amazing offer and highlighting the benefits with testimonials.

4. Continuing to show up for yourself and your future clients, continuing to learn and adapting the process to suit your style and your life.

Remember: Posting on social media is not selling. It's a good thing; it will help you to build your brand and build trust, but you will only start making sales in a scalable way when you build a process that introduces you to new clients, adds value, educates them on how you can help and pitches an offer...regularly, in a scalable way. The more automated, the better! But this can be a manual process to begin with.

#onlinebusiness #businesscoach #businessburnout

Ah man there is so much I want to tell you about business and marketing in 2022.

Today let me highlight two things you might have missed that will make it easier to scale your reach and grow your business online this year.

The first is something that HAS CHANGED in online marketing that you must pay attention to - can you guess what it is?

The second is something that HAS NOT CHANGED in online marketing that you must stop delaying. Can you guess what that is?

Press play to learn about both, and find out how we're approaching both to help reach more wonderful people online in our business in 2022.

P.s. Here is a link to the video I mentioned about funnel marketing and social media in 2022 - https://daretogrow.kartra.com/page/8mO26

P.p.s I've also written about it extensively here: https://daretogrow.co.uk/sixfigures/

#businesscoach #onlinebusiness #marketing2022

If you’ve been sitting on an idea for months or - more likely - years, let me offer a potential remedy that will get that wonderful, world-changing, idea from your head to a payment button that a client can click with glee. Yes, glee.

So many people I’ve worked with over the years have come to me fretting about making more money.

“How can I make more sales, like, Lisa I really need to make some money now.”

“Should I post more on social media, do I need to make Reels?”

“Do I really have to run ads?”

My question in response is always this:

“Can I just check first of all: Is your offer finished and are you excited and proud to sell it?”

You would be surprised to hear how many times I hear "Welllll..." in response to that question.

So why don't purpose driven entrepreneurs finish their offers and finally release them into the world?

Time is an obvious challenge but I don't think that's the real reason. I think it's comes down to a misunderstanding about what the process looks like and a fear of being seen in this new light.

In today's episode, I'd like to talk about this and offer an approach that will help purpose-driven entrepreneurs finallllly finish their online offers and get them out into the world ready to sell.

Straight to the point... There are three sides to the 'triangle' for bringing something into reality - clarity of vision, taking creatively inspired action and changing how you see yourself. 

Often people are canny good at two of the three things in this triangle, like they keep thinking about their dreams, or they do actually take action on their ideas, but they struggle with the third: namely, they don't realise that they can't actually 'see themselves' with the result. 

Sometimes people have one side nailed, and are fluffing two. 

And it has to be said...sommmeeetimesss people are avoiding all three and STILL wondering where their dream life is at?

In today's motivational voice note, I'd like to talk briefly about the three sides of this manifestation triangle and draw attention to the bit you might want to work on next!

“Lisa, what stops people making money online?”

Asked no-one ever lol.

Most people ask: how do you sell in a webinar, where do I build my sales page, how do I stay motivated. Hello future video titles!

But today I want to take matters into my own hands and tell you the four things I probably feedback on most often to paying clients at all levels.

I think as we open this conversation, you’ll see common mistakes you’re making in your online business, and you’ll see wonderful and unique ways to grow your business online, in a way that feels aligned, and, dare I say...easy?

Being in business can be hard. There is a lot to learn, like how to put a commercially viable offer together, how to close a one-to-one sale, how to build a working funnel.

But it can also be easy. IF you follow the inspiration that comes up, IF you follow your heart and build something that feels good to you, IF you do the work and show up today, for an easier tomorrow.

Let’s talk about all of this.

I’ve been reflecting on the online programmes I run, asking myself: What mistakes do I see over and over? What stops people from growing and scaling their online businesses?

There seems to be four things I pick up on and talk about on repeat. In today’s episode, I’d like to run through them and highlight ways for you to grow your online business in 2022, avoiding these four common mistakes.

A lot of people want something different to what they’re already experiencing in life - more happiness, more peace, less stress, more money, more freedom.

They WANT it, but their dominant thought is actually in opposition to the thing they want.

Desire: I want more money. Dominant thought: No-one will buy from me, I’m a nobody. I haven’t got time to finish my offer. Social media is too crowded now!

Desire: I want to be fit. Dominant thought: Urgh I’ve tried everything, nothing works. I’m too busy and too tired to workout anyway. I’m going to treat myself to something naughty tonight!

Desire: I want to be in love. Dominant thought: I’m such a loser. Who could love me. Love like what I see in the movies isn’t even real anyway! Maybe I should just settle and be done with it?

You might know this already but today I want to impress on you the sheer importance of adopting this new way of thinking in your day to day life.

Everyone wakes up with fear, doubt, concerns. It’s human nature. The second you open your eyes, you’re faced with a choice: Listen to those thoughts and act from that place; or, change your thoughts, and therefore your focus, and act from that place!

It sounds surprising but this can take months and sometimes years to master.

So, we don’t have a second longer to delay.

Press play to hear how you can change your dominant thought, get into vibrational alignment with what you want and finally hit the goal you’ve been missing all this time!

No more messing!

Listen: Growth doesn't feel orderly and structured and safe. It feels messy and uncertain and chaotic! But it also feels exciting and energised and electric! To change your life or grow your business you want to get into that energy of pace, or movement, of...well - chaos! 

Chaos feels like posting a Reel after a networking event before heading to a meeting and returning to send out quotes or reply to messages. 

Chaos feels like files you want to transfer to your MacBook for a video you're making and files you want to transfer to your phone for a promo you're running. 

I'm a big fan of balance. I can take a day off and have a full on family weekend with the best of them. But to hit my goals in life and business I know that there is one thing needed in abundance and that's movement, energy, pace...and that can often feel like chaos! Buttttt, the good chaos. 

In today's Voice Note, I want to talk about this idea and show you what good chaos might look like day to day in your business. 

P.s. Here is the link to the upcoming live six figure webinar I mentioned:

Quick voice note I've recorded for my mailing list this morning. If there is something you want in your life, this is how you bring it about! 

Lisa 

Oh my days - yes we all know by now I am obsessed with funnels.

Two things I say over and over to my clients are: (1) Finish your offer and make sure it's ready to buy; and (2) Build a funnel to get it in front of your ideal client while you're busy delivering!

The person who can do this first, then best wins.

That's the game... Create something people want, that genuinely helps move them forward and price accordingly. And give lots of people who might be interested in that offer a FANTASTIC way to sample it and make an informed decision.

Honestly? That's the business of online marketing.

When entrepreneurs get stuck in business if it often because they are breaking this particular order of events or more likely, because they're trying to do them all at once!

I don't believe in an 'all at once' approach to business growth. I believe in a layering approach. I mean: It's best to finish your offer and have it ready to go before obsessing about regular posts on social media. Trying to master both at the same time takes longer, can feel really overwhelming and the risk is the offer is never finished!

So in today's video, I'd love to talk you through four key steps for growth in any business, and help you see which step is next for you.

How to approach video content in a six figure online business [and how to smash a filming retreat!]. It's no secret we LOVE video content in DARETOGROW.

Our goal is to share one long format video every 8-10 days, teaching something really practical or motivating to help our communities to TAKE ACTION to grow their businesses.

This week, we'd like to bring you behind the scenes and show you HOW we plan and create so much video content for the business.

The secret really is filming retreats; filming 8-11 videos in a few short days so we have plenty of content to work with! It sounds kind of crazy at first, but doing this means Matt (our wonderful in house video editor) has tons of content to work with (which I think is love-hate haha...Matt?), and I can stay focused on growing the business and delivering for clients. It took a while to get into a good rhythm with this and learn how to maximise the day and the post production but I think we're just about getting there!

So, in this video, let us share:

- What we look for in a venue (curtains to block the light are important!); - How I plan the content leading up to the retreat (I don't nail it all in advance!);

- To script or not to script (hello bullets stuck to the tripod!);

- How to maximise the time during the filming retreat (Can we say coffee machine?!); and,

- What I do to keep the anxiety to a minimum 'on the day'. I hope you enjoy.

If you do, please do take a second to like, comment and let us know. We really, really appreciate it.

Beyond the funnel, how do you really sell online? Three insights I've never shared before... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-gbWQNrAQE&t=0s

When I talk about ‘hitting six figures’ in your business, there are always three camps of people. Which one are you?

Camp 1 – Has a dream of building their own business and six figures is the goal. Has only just started posting or turning up online, and might have sold a few programmes or made a few offers.

Camp 2 – Has made headway with sales, maybe £20k - £30k in the year, and wants to make the leap emotionally and strategically to hit six figures, perhaps so they can quit their job or commit more fully to their business.

Camp 3 – Has experiences some excellent sales months or launches (and knows six figures is within grasp), but hasn’t quite landed on the consistency in terms of revenue or turning up online.

With today’s post, there will be something for people in all camps. As always, let me ask you to find the ONE BIG INSIGHT that YOU can take forward and apply to bring you one step closer to that six figure year, whether it’s in your online business or using online marketing methods to make it happen.

So, when thinking about growing your business to a six figure year, you have to look at it from two angles. The first angle is the strategy you use and the second angle is you as a person.

When it comes to strategy, simplicity is best. You can hit six figures with one core product, one focal funnel and one key traffic source (like Facebook ads or Instagram). I hit multiple six figures with one course (The Online Course if you know it?) and one traffic source – FacebookTM ads.

When it comes to ‘you’, I’m referring to your capacity to hold a six figure year, which translates to: Can you deliver transformation at that level, can you put the structure in place to maintain it and are you ready to receive and hold that money energetically.

"And long before you have to convince your audience, you have to convince yourself."

The online space is saturated with content. The key to standing out today is two fold: (1) Having something original and inspiring to share; and, (2)

Turning up with enough consistency and confidence to inspire people to action.

The truth is people are always looking for leaders to show them a way, a faster path the outcome they want in their lives and encouragement that they're on the right path.

This is where you enter, stage right, with your ideas, your confidence, your methodology, your belief.

Part of making sales online relies on your ability to communicate your ideas and processes with confidence and conviction.

And long before you have to convince your audience, you have to convince yourself.

In this week's installation I'd like to share with you five ideas to help you build confidence in what you teach online.

Making sales online is a real skill. Like professional figure skating, photography or boxing, it is something people practice, learn about and invest time and effort into mastering.

In today's episode, I'd like to share with you three things professional online sales people do that most people don't even know about.

These are the three things I leverage as the absolute, fundamental backbone of every single sales and marketing campaign I launch. I hope today's episode brings you a lot of value.

Everyone is on this planet to do something special, and unique.

The vision we have for our lives and for the world isn't necessarily something that sits far out in front of us, but rather it's something that extends from within us.

I believe that there is something for each of us to grow into and become. And the vision gives us the point on the horizon to head towards. The vision gives us the journey of growth.

In today's episode, I'd like to talk about the importance of that vision and how to break it down into exciting and manageable projects you can complete to bring that vision to life.

We'll also talk about how to determine the action you take today, right now, to bring you one step closer to the vision you have for your life, your business, your family and the world.

We're always told "start with the end in mind" and work backwards from there. And I teach that in business. But there must be room for another approach too: The unfolding of a story; the progress of journey.

When making vlogs or sharing stories from your life you can't start with the end in mind because you don't know it. It's more about documenting the journey. It's more about sharing your understanding as it evolves. It's more about the unfolding.

That's what I want to talk about in today's podcast. Plus, I share a brand new memoir I have loved reading, and what it taught me about books and art in general.

Enjoy!

It's too easy to feel off track, deflated, down, stuck in a rut. In today's episode, I'd like to share four honest ways to get your life back on track... when you're a purpose driven entrepreneur who wants to do good in the world.

For example, when I feel stuck in a rut or unable to move forward, I often find there is a tough decision I'm avoiding or something I'm not giving myself that I need.

I don't therefore need to 'get out of the rut', I just need to make the tough decision or take time for myself and the way becomes clear!

Wow there's more in this vlog than I realised haha.

Come and join me for a day of tasks around the cottage and in my business! Less 9-5 and more getting things done in good time, including some filming for a video, a walk in the country and restocking our outdoor coffee shop ;-)

Plus, listen to the end for an unfortunate couple of (hilarious!) falls in the mud. Country life!

I'm still not used to it.

Enjoy!

I’ve had to come to terms with the fact I destroy almost everything I build. Courses, structures, businesses. Once something has served its purpose I seem to have no fear in taking it down and replacing it with something else. Something more relevant.

At first I thought this was a bad thing “why can’t I just recycle ads and course and funnels?”. It would be easier wouldn’t it? But the truth is that what we build yesterday was merely a stepping stone to the evolution that’s coming today. And if we hang on to what we’ve built, tinkering at the edges, we might miss the opportunity to build something truly transformational today.

It’s okay to let things go. It’s okay to move on. It’s okay to evolve.

So my question to you today is: what’s in your heart? What do you want to build? And can you let go of what was to make room for what could be?

Whole new podcast on this topic now live. Press play to listen.

"Nowt" - that's the technical term hehe. Lately I've been talking a lot about the importance of doing things that bring you joy, choosing activities for you, and indulging in things you love, just because.

Well in today's vlog (turned podcast!) you're going to hear, among other things, the first of a brand new project I'm starting this year just for fun - a brand new book reviewing channel. Press play to hear about the first books I'm reading as part of my new challenge.

And, join us for breakfast before we head to the woods to collect kindling for a video Alice is making for her monthly membership - The Sisterhood.

I hope you enjoy!

Four big journaling questions for purpose driven entrepreneurs who want to be happier in their work and life...

Warning: This episode will slow you down and make you think...

Does anyone else feel the slowing down? The invitation inwards? The call to be more connected to your passions and more honest about what you want?

In today's podcast, I want to share four ideas for happiness in 2021. It's not a pump up. It's a slowing down. It's the questions that help us find our truth. It's the pace of living that might make room for something more; something BEYOND.

I hope you enjoy this and I'd love to hear your thoughts once you've listened to it.

In the months of December I STOPPED. Everything…

Posting. Creating. Turning up. I just stopped and chilled.

Not because I was fed up or burnt out or bored. I’d been planning to experience a ‘December off’ for years; the gift of stopping to draw breath. And it wasn’t until I stopped and let the engines cool that I realised I might have been a tad burnt out from 2020. On the wheel of more, more, more. But more what?   Well, as I got back to it this week I really thought about what I wanted to share this year, how I wanted to show up and what would inspire me from others. So here it is, three cool things I think we can all do to inspire people in 2021. Three things I think will matter to people in 2021.   P.s. Want to buy the book I mentioned in today’s episode, “Dear Reader”. Here it is on Amazon – https://amzn.to/38qB9jo.

4.00 The number one marketing questions that helps me decide what content to create for my social media calendar

5:00 What you can do with your freebie / lead magnet to help get more sign ups to your marketing funnel

No BS, straight up advice about what it takes to launch a business and start making money now.

The truth? When you first start out, you're not really launching a business in the beginning. You're actually creating a product or service and adding value in the market.

What does this mean? Well, in year one, I wouldn't ask: How can I become a millionaire? Or how do I hit six figures? Instead I'd ask: What would it take for me to replace my salary over the next 12 months? Or - what can I sell to make £2000 - £4000 a of sales each month.

Having launched three businesses FROM SCRATCH with no business background, no business degree and no funding, there are four things I did every time. And I'm going to share this with you in today's video. But get ready, this one is energised, fast-paced, motivating and practical, today's installment should really get you moving!

P.s. Did you know I'm launching a start up school called Pre-Ex? It's launching November 2020 click the link to find out more and join the waiting list if you're curious!

The DTG community (you!) sent this book to #2 on Amazon in the first few days of it going live. That blew me away!

And so, with extracts from the talk I delivered live on the night of my first ever book launch, tune in to find out:

Thank you again to everyone who bought a copy, bought another copy for friends and then left me a review on Amazon! Hands down the best community going!!

It’s no secret that DARETOGROW is not my first business. It’s my third!

I’ve also launched a graduate recruitment company, which I later sold, and a half a million pound marketing agency which I later dismantled to follow my dreams of running a coaching and training business online.

All three businesses I launched from scratch. And in all three businesses I did one very specific thing to get them off the ground.

The question so many online marketers ask: How much should I give away for free vs. what should I keep back in my paid programmes?

Well! In today’s episode I’m going to tell you my approach to 'funnel' marketing and how I decide what to give away and what to keep back.

I'll also be giving you a little more insight into the business model behind DARETOGROW – what programmes I run, how they are evolving and how I use funnel marketing to sell places on those key programmes.

NOPE! The 'freebie' part of your marketing will NOT land you sales. That's just not what it's for. Your freebie is the start of the process in funnel marketing and it has a very specific purpose. And that is NOT to make sales!

But of course...avoid it at your peril!

In today's episode I'm going to tell you the truth about funnel marketing in 2020 including:

Now, rather than just 'tell you', I'm going to use a very specific example to help you understand this properly. It's a funny one but I think you'll like it!

P.s. If you want to go further with this, I've just finished writing a really rich 33 page PDF explaining funnel marketing in a lot more depth, along with the three bridges we must build and cross to build a six figure online business.

In a secret village on the top of a mountain. We saw the storms before we felt them. We heard the news days after it happened. And we were so cut off we could finally hear our own thoughts.

Getting away from 'it all' is a blessing. Whether you head camping, rent a cottage for a weekend or just switch off the WiFi router, magic comes from the space we create.

In today's episode, I'd love to share with you three wonderful things I loved about the space in Lake Como - from the bells on the cows and the late night coffees with the locals, to the quiet peaceful sun rises over the lake. It's all in here. Enjoy!

Strategy is a military term. It comes from the Greek word strategos meaning ‘generalship‘… I take it to mean ‘How can I achieve that outcome with these resources, this time and this landscape?’.   Being strategic in your business means having an approach that uses the resources, time and opportunity you have in a smart, albeit ambitious, way. And it means ruling out just as much as you rule in.    I think this is one of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when trying to get to build a six figure business. They try to deliver on two strategies at once. But often it’s because we just don’t understand strategy or how to think about it!

So, in today’s podcast episode I’m going to share with you a ridiculously simple way to think about strategy in business!

Enjoy!!

Can I be honest with you? I had depression for six years of my life. What got me through it wasn't medication or therapy or counselling. All of those are viable routes for tackling this horrendous and debilitating mental illness, but they couldn't work for me. The reason being I HATED my life! I hated everything about it and I was lying day in and day out about who I was to the world.

The cure for me, then, was to face up to the truth of who I was and go on an incredible journey of reconnecting with my truth, changing my circumstances and sharing myself more fully with the world.

In order to do that I had to face some hard realities, take total ownership of my own mental health (not an easy thing to do, I know!) and take some rather unconventional steps.

In this episode, I'd like to share three of the things I did or learnt that helped me move through depression. I have been scared to share this in the past fearing the backlash but if I didn't know this stuff, I would still be suffering today. It's what I needed to hear and so I'm going to trust it's what you need to hear if you find yourself watching this video.

I really hope there is a message in this video that gives you hope, provides some momentum or helps you think differently about your situation just for a second long enough to take action that will change your life positively.

I want to make it clear, as I say here, I am not a Doctor or a psychologist or anything like that. I was diagnosed with depression in 2015 after six long years of suffering. What happened in 2015 changed my life and things have never been the same since.

Storytelling is baked into our DNA – from building communities, sharing news, passing on our histories and even alerting each other to danger.

We’ve all heard “Once upon a time”.

We’ve all been hooked on a series at once point in our lives.

And when someone leans in and says “I have to tell you what happened, it’s so funny” or “You’ll never guess what I just heard” you can’t help but listen!

Telling stories is a skill you have by default but it is also a skill you can improve with focus and practice.

So, in today’s episode I’m excited to share with you four insights for telling more powerful stories. These are things I’ve learnt on my own journey as a writer, speaker and vlogger.

I’d love to hear your biggest take away in the comments below!

P.s. I mentioned that there are ‘seven types of stories’. Here they are! Do you recognise these themes?

Overcoming the Monster; Rags to Riches; The Quest; Voyage and Return; Rebirth; Comedy; Tragedy.

Today is a very special episode as I am joined by my wonderful mum – Mary Bean!

Mary started her sales career selling candles in people’s houses. She had never worked in sales before and was terrified the night of her first presentation! But, event after event she got better and better and eventually applied for a job selling houses.

When they asked her for a ‘CV’, she called my dad and said “Billy, they said I need a CD to apply!”.

After years honing her craft, my mum has sold millions and millions of pounds worth of homes from one bedroom flats to 5 bedroom luxury homes.

In today’s podcast she’s going to share her journey with you and teach you:

This is a funny and insightful episode. I really hope you enjoy it!

If you do, please leave a comment for my mum so I can read it out to her!

I don’t subscribe to the notion we have to be ‘happy’ all the time. But I do think it’s important we know what makes us happy and how to return to a happy state when we want to.

In today’s episode, I’m going to share with you my ‘happiness line’ theory and show you what it takes to return to happiness in a way that feels good and sustainable! Enjoy!
