In order to grow your business as an entrepreneur, you must have a clear answer for these three questions:

1. What are you doing to reach into new markets?
2. How are you build a strong reputation for providing value in those new markets?
3. How are you inviting people to buy?

Finding the answer to these questions is a lot about experimentation in the beginning. You begin with a hypothesis, which says: "I think that if I turn up here, in this way, and offer this service, people will buy". This is not only about making informed decisions between multiple options, it's about going out and testing your hypothesis in real life, in the market. You test that hypothesis, get feedback, tweak and go again. You keep doing this until you have the answer, then you repeat that.

This video was filmed at a recent DARETOGROW / Live event. I introduce the model, explain each stage, and encourgage business owners to find and test the three levels in their own business.

What's Covered in This Episode: 00:00 – The only three things required to turn on sales 00:45 – What "Reach" actually means (and why strangers matter) 02:30 – Why shouting in the wrong room kills sales 04:10 – Brand is not logos, PR or aesthetics 06:00 – Why unclear websites repel buyers 08:30 – Sales as a separate, deliberate activity 11:20 – The signature programme model 14:30 – Selling without a fancy website 17:00 – "Whatever it takes" and finishing the thing 19:40 – The one exercise every business owner must do

REACH: Why Strangers Are the Only Way You Grow Lisa is very clear about this:

If strangers are not finding you, your business will not grow.

Full stop.

Reach means breaking into new markets — getting in front of people who have never heard of you before but already want what you sell.

There are people right now:

• Searching
• Asking
• Enquiring
• Buying

And if they're not buying from you, it's not because they don't want your solution.

It's because they didn't find you.

Lisa uses a simple metaphor:

A man on a market shouting "Potatoes! Two dozen!"

That's business.

But:

• A food market for that product beats a general market
• Saturday beats Monday (more footfall)
• 9–5 beats 3am (when people are shopping)

Yet most business owners keep "showing up" in rooms where their customers aren't even there — because it feels cosy, familiar, and safe.

BRAND: How do you Build Trust, Quickly? Brand isn't just:

• Logos
• PR tags
• "As seen in" badges

Brand is what someone experiences after Reach has worked.

It's what happens when they:

• Click your Instagram
• Click your YouTube
• Visit your website
• Watch something
• Read something

They should instantly understand:

• Your approach
• Your methodology
• What makes you different
• Who you help
• How you think

The brand of trust you build should do the heavy lifting before the call. For example:

SALES: Inviting Customers to the Next Step Sales is a separate activity from reach and brand building.

Sales is where you say:

• "Here's the offer"
• "Here's what it is"
• "Here's the price"
• "Here's how to begin"

Lisa believes every business should have:

• One signature programme
• A clear upsell
• A clear downsell

Everything else is:

• A lead magnet
• A paid trial
• A micro-offer
• An innovation

This is because of the time involved in producing these offers. A lot of early entrepreneurs make the mistake of spreading themselves too thinly and never having the time to truly focus on learning to sell one thing well.

A Challenge: Can you write one sentence or one short paragraph for each of these:

1. REACH How are new potential clients finding you?

Examples:

• "I attend six networking events a month."
• "I speak at two events every month."
• "I post Instagram Reels (trial mode) and reach 500 new people weekly."
• "My impressions are growing month on month."

If you can't show this – growth will not happen.

1. BRAND What can people click, watch, or read to understand you?

2. What explains your process?

3. Where do they hear what you think?
4. What demonstrate how you work?

5. What makes you you?

6. SALES What pulls new customers to the front of the room? It could be:

7. A webinar

8. A discovery call
9. A programme start date
10. An invitation to talk

Final Thought Sales don't turn on by accident.

They turn on when:

• Strangers find you
• People understand the value you offer
• You invite them to buy

Reach. Brand. Sales.

Three separate skills. Three separate activities.

A few weeks ago I did something I've never done before. I put on my first ever theatre-style business show: Laugh or You'll Cry.

A full script. Lighting cues. Sound cues. Slide timing. Jokes I had to actually write and rehearse.

For someone whose speaking style is usually "a few bullet points and make the rest up as you go along", this pushed me right to the edge of my ability.

But what surprised me the most wasn't the logistics of putting on a show… it was what it did to my nervous system.

In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of the experience and sharing a huge lesson about business, dreams, and how the commercial side of your business actually funds the life you want to create.

Because here's the truth most entrepreneurs need to hear:

Your business funds your dreams… until your dreams can fund your life.

At the start of business, you don't have a reputation. You don't have proof. You don't have a community behind you yet.

So you can't trade on reputation.

You have to trade on value.

You have to do the thing first, gather the evidence, and then use that evidence to grow the opportunity.

That's why you can't cheat the process.

And why chasing a big dream will always take you to the edge of what you think you're capable of.

Most people turn away from that edge.

But if you can sit in that discomfort and see it through… you don't walk away the same person who started.

What's Covered in This Episode (Timestamps) 00:00 – Why I decided to put on a theatre-style business show 00:30 – The idea behind Laugh or You'll Cry and what I wanted the audience to feel 01:15 – The reality of producing a scripted show (lighting, sound, slides and timing) 02:18 – Why this pushed me far outside my normal speaking style 02:36 – The unexpected impact it had on my nervous system and business focus 03:14 – Writing jokes for the first time and the pressure of not knowing if they'll land 04:05 – Why pushing your dreams will take you beyond anything you've experienced before 05:00 – The moment you become a different person after doing something hard 06:06 – Why failure becomes less scary when you change the story you tell yourself 06:55 – The biggest business lesson from putting on this show 07:02 – The difference between your commercial model and your dream 07:29 – Why you can't trade on reputation when you're just starting out 08:05 – Why you must gather evidence before opportunities grow 08:29 – How small audiences are actually the path to bigger stages 08:57 – Why following your dream will always take you to the edge of your ability

If you're building a business and trying to balance what makes money with what really matters to you, this episode will help you understand why the two don't always align at the beginning — and why that's completely normal.

Being in business is hard. It's full on. It's busy. This is especially true when you're winning clients and working hard to deliver behind the scenes. For all those reasons, the balance of creating content and delivering what you've promised to clients is a hard one to maintain. Personally, I've found producing content daily impossible. It's a different energy, and it takes a while to get things set up. That's why we don't do it! We create a lot of our content in key filming days, where we get everything set up, plan our content, and film 4/5 videos in one day! It's effective. It's productive. And if you do it well, it means you can get back to work! In this video, come behind the scenes as we film a whopping five videos and five additional Reels in one day! We talk about: How to systemise your content creation to stay in front of your audience How to approach 'batch filming' so your content is effective Tools and set ups to consider, along with what kit to consider ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 – Welcome & behind the scenes: prepping 5 videos in one day 0:52 – What a filming day really is 1:17 – Block it in your diary or it won't happen 1:49 – Setting up the next video & letting go of control 2:16 – Systemising to scale your business 3:03 – The honest truth about starting without fancy gear 3:49 – Hooks & first seven seconds: relax into the plan 4:58 – Planning content sets & next row of videos 5:13 – Tools, dependency & diversification 7:10 – Advice for anyone starting videos: cameras & mics 8:06 – Bulk filming = weeks of content, creating sets 📌 Key Takeaway: Consistency isn't about discipline. It's about designing your system. Batch filming, repeatable setups, and removing daily decision fatigue make posting content a natural part of scaling your business.

"If it feels harder than it should… you're probably on the right track in the beginning."

In this episode, let's tackle the questions business owners are typing into Google. From doing everything yourself, to charging your worth, burning out, fearing failure and feeling like an "imposter", let's look at what it really takes to make money in business - and why most people quit just before it starts working.

🎥 Watch the episode on YouTube

What's Covered in This Episode (Timestamps) * 00:00 – Why "doing everything yourself" is normal (at the start) * 00:25 – The structure chart no one ever writes (but should) * 01:10 – "I have too many ideas" and why creativity is both a gift and a curse * 02:13 – Why starting new ideas keeps resetting your success * 02:37 – Charging your worth: confidence vs competence * 03:20 – Burnout: why it happens and how to stop it * 04:25 – If your products aren't selling, it's a marketing problem * 05:53 – Fear of failure and why business is only ever a hypothesis * 07:22 – What Lisa actually teaches (no vegan recipes involved) * 07:46 – Imposter syndrome doesn't exist (according to Lisa) * 09:03 – What really stops people achieving their goals * 09:47 – The biggest opportunity in business right now

"I'm Doing Everything Myself" — Why That's Not Actually the Problem One of the most common frustrations business owners raise is:

"The problem with my business is I'm doing everything myself."

Lisa's response is refreshingly grounded. In the beginning, that's not a failure - it's reality.

Before you can delegate, you need enough margin to:

• Pay yourself
• Pay the business
• Pay another human being

That's the order.

The mistake? Assuming you should already be outsourcing before the business can sustain it.

Try this to inspire yourself: Write a structure chart, showing:

• Who you'll hire in 12 months
• Who you'll hire in 2 years
• What their role is
• What their objectives are

"Is something about that that makes it real," Lisa says.

In the meantime:

• Use freelancers
• Hire VAs
• Use platforms like People Per Hour
• Leverage technology (schedulers, AI tools, content repurposing)

But until you can afford to pay someone properly?

"Do the work. Do the frickin' work."

The Real Cost of "Too Many Ideas" Another Google favourite:

"The problem with my business is I have too many ideas."

Lisa doesn't see creativity as the enemy. In fact, she links it directly to entrepreneurship — particularly for neurodivergent founders.

Creativity is the gift. Lack of completion is the curse.

Here's the hard truth Lisa delivers:

You cannot have all of these ideas and hope to be successful.

There is a straight line between:

• A vision
• A project
• Delivery
• Repetition

If you keep changing the course, the offer, the format, or the idea - you keep starting from zero.

This is the teachable moment most people avoid:

Every time you start a brand new idea, you reset your progress.

Lisa explains that success comes from:

• Repeating the same course until it sells
• Using the same social media platform / format until it works
• Letting creativity sit within the project — not outside of it

If you stop, start again, and never finish — you never build momentum.

Charging Your Worth: Confidence or Competence? "I'm scared to charge my worth."

Lisa's take is controversial — and necessary.

If you can't fill your diary at your current price, raising your rates won't fix that.

Instead:

1. Fill your diary
2. Build confidence
3. Gain experience
4. Collect testimonials
5. Then raise your prices

And here's the uncomfortable question Lisa asks:

"Are you genuinely worth that amount?"

If the answer is yes — then it's mindset work:

• Therapy
• Coaching
• Money beliefs
• Self-worth

But if the answer is no? That's not mindset. That's competence or marketing. And those problems require different solutions.

Burnout Isn't About Working Too Hard — It's About Reward Lisa is blunt about burnout:

People don't burn out because they're working hard. They burn out because the reward doesn't match the work.

Living at the edge of your ability for years without enough return will break you.

Her solutions are practical, not glamorous:

• Slow down
• Extend timelines
• Get support
• Get a job if needed
• Sell a "bucket and spade" service you're already good at to get cash flowing again

There is nothing wrong with stabilising yourself while you build.

Burnout happens when:

• You can't recalibrate
• You can't remind yourself what it's worth
• You never get to breathe and refresh

If Your Products Aren't Selling, It's Marketing. Full Stop. That is the problem with everyone's business.

If your products aren't selling, you don't understand marketing yet.

Marketing starts with one question: Who is the customer that will give me money for this?

Not:

• "My customers are broke"
• "My customers are burnt out"

Because if they can't buy — they're not your customer.

Then you ask:

• What are they really buying?
• What problem is this solving?

Lisa explains that people don't buy "business coaching" — they buy:

• Confidence
• Direction
• Accountability
• Someone who sees their blind spots

That's what gets marketed.

And whatever your strategy is — networking, Instagram, YouTube — Lisa's rule is simple:

Whatever you're doing, find a way to times it by ten.

More conversations. More content. More repetition. That's how sales happen.

"Imposter Syndrome" - what is this? Lisa doesn't use the phrase imposter syndrome at all.

Her word? Alien.

When you do something you've never done before, of course you feel strange. That doesn't mean you're a fraud.

Her reframe is powerful:

You're not an imposter. You're rehearsing being a new version of yourself.

To get a new result, you have to become a new person.

If you can sit in that discomfort, you grow. If you can't, you retreat. But retreat isn't failure — it just means you try again.

The Biggest Opportunity in Business Right Now It's not AI. It's not trends. It's not hacks.

Lisa's answer is simple — and unpopular:

Hard work.

Specifically: Doing the work other people won't do. Learning the skills. Filming the videos. Showing up consistently. Doing the hard thing because it's hard.

"If it's hard, very few people are going to do it."

And that's where the opportunity lives.

Final Thought; Business is hard in the beginning. It takes longer than you want. It requires discomfort most people avoid.

But if you're willing to:

• Finish what you start
• Market relentlessly
• Sit in the unknown
• Do the work others won't

You don't need luck. You need stamina.

Everyone's talking about AI — but most business owners are using it all wrong. In this episode, Lisa Bean breaks down the three AI tools that have had the biggest practical impact on growing her businesses. From generating publish-ready content in minutes to multiplying your visibility across platforms, these tools will save you time, boost engagement, and help you make more money.

Lisa shares her exact workflows, including:

• How to use ChatGPT properly — and why most prompts fail

• Turning one long video into 20+ short clips using Opus Clips
• Using Adobe Podcast Enhancer for crisp, professional audio
• A pro tip for generating short videos from a single photo

"I was just at this event. The vibe was this. The main point I want to make is this. Leave space for three customer quotes. Highlight these three key elements." The result? High-quality, ready-to-publish content that's useful for clients — and optimized for SEO.

Whether you're creating content, running webinars, or building your online presence, this episode shows exactly how to turn AI into a revenue-driving tool — without wasting time on the stuff that doesn't work.

📕 THE BOOKS MENTIONED

1️⃣ The Success Principles — Jack Canfield

The book that forced me to stop blaming my past and start building my future. Radical responsibility. Radical ownership. Radical action.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Success-Principles-Where-Canfield-Switzer/dp/0007195087/ref=asc_df_0007195087?mcid=4a413b4cc90b3143b75458c2adb226ab&th=1&psc=1&tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=697276890946&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3444399286975351553&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006649&hvtargid=pla-469236201013&psc=1&hvocijid=3444399286975351553-0007195087-&hvexpln=0&gad_source=1

2️⃣ Rich As F*ck — Amanda Frances

If Canfield is the "reality," Amanda is the "possibility." Borrow her belief until you build your own. Do not skip the journaling questions.

Honest, gritty, funny, real. Do not read it at 10pm.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/First-Sh-Version-purpose-entrepreneurs-ebook/dp/B0842X4ZG7

🔥 KEY TAKEAWAYS

You can't make more money if you're secretly blaming your past for where you are.

Jealousy blocks wealth - celebration invites it.

To grow, you must adopt the thoughts and beliefs of people who earn more than you.

Clarity creates momentum — especially with money goals.

Making money is one skill. Keeping money is a different skill.

Your financial behaviours are driven by psychology, not logic.

When you fix the blueprint, the money stops leaking.

Let's have a bit of fun! Answering the most Googled questions! Including: Am I A Millionaire? Does Money Really Buy Happiness? & How YOU Can make money fast in 2026 and beyond!

In this brand new YouTube and podcast episode, UK Business Coach Lisa Bean sits down to answer Google's most searched questions about business, marketing, sales, and success.

Expect honesty, straight lines, and zero fluff: why money can buy happiness (but only if you know your number), why you don't need money to start (you need time and grit), and why a tiny audience can still power a multiple six-figure business when you tell the truth and have an opinion.

Lisa also reframes "original ideas" ("you don't need one — you need a point of view"), explains who shouldn't start a business (and who absolutely must), and shares the quickest way to make money now: finish the product, put up the sales page, run the webinar, ask for the sale.

If you've ever wondered how to make money without a big audience, what stops entrepreneurs from reaching their goals, or why business coaching costs what it does — this episode is your roadmap to the truth behind the buzzwords in business and online sales!

â±ï¸ Timestamps & What You'll Learn

00:00 – 00:09 | What this episode covers Answering the internet's most-googled questions about Lisa, business, marketing, and sales.

00:09 – 00:25 | Is Lisa a speaker? "Yes — it's my dream to stand in front of thousands and change lives." (Something exciting is coming)

00:25 – 01:05 | Is Lisa an author? First Sh!t Version took ten years; Am I Healing? is in progress. Purpose, change, and making a living doing what you love.

01:05 – 01:24 | SEO & ranking #1 for "business coach" (UK) "I'm the queen of SEO. It's a huge revenue driver — worth the time."

01:24 – 02:00 | Millionaire mindset & fear "Vibrationally, yes." Also: Lisa's real fear (medical procedures) and a nod to past serious illness — radical honesty included.

02:00 – 02:36 | Does money buy happiness? Yes — up to your number. Clients say "enough to be happy" or "retire my partner." Lisa: What's the number? Clarity creates momentum.

02:36 – 03:34 | Too late to start? No. Many successful founders start in their 40s. One purposeful day at 60 can change your reality.

03:34 – 04:27 | Do you need money to start? No. Lisa started with £3k (gone in a month), then with nothing, then £100k in debt. You need time and work ethic. Use free trials, your phone, and go meet people.

04:27 – 05:22 | Do ideas need to be original? No. You need an opinion. If you're purely transactional, you're replaceable. Market your nuance and prove it with clients.

05:22 – 06:08 | Is business for everyone? No. If you're here for "work-life balance," don't do it. Early years = more hours than you're paid for. You build a business because not doing it feels terrible.

06:08 – 06:47 | Making money without a big audience You can't make money without any audience — but it doesn't need to be big. Lisa's multiple six-figure education business runs with 2k IG followers and less than 2k on the list. Key: content + opinion + truth.

07:06 – 07:25 | Digital products Fastest path to cash is 1:1. Build the product after results. Prove outcomes upfront.

07:25 – 08:07 | Make money fast (2026 mindset, applied now) Finish the product. Is the sales page live? Run a webinar. Add value. Ask for the sale. Stop "selling without selling."

08:07 – 08:52 | Make money when you have none If you're frozen by fear: get a job/freelance to cover basics. Then: finish one product, sell 1:1, network, build content, ask for the sale (webinars, masterclasses, discovery calls).

Competence is the result you get when you something hard, over and over, until (a) you learn how to get the hard result; and / or, (b) it becomes part of who you are.

Competence isn't an empty sales promise. It's an unshakable skill no-one can take from you and people want to buy from you!

Here's the truth:

No one's coming to your door to stop you making sales. No one's blocking your progress.

Business rewards the entrepreneur who build this kind of competence by pushing themselves beyond what they know to be comfortable, by taking a risk, by practicing a new skill until they own it.

In this live talk, I share the raw, funny, and (often!) humbling stories that taught me the true meaning of competence, which became the foundation of every business I went on to build.

💡 In this episode, you'll learn: * What competence really means, and how you can become unshakable no matter what happens. * The difference between knowledge and wisdom: How true thought leadership is born from lived experience, not theory. * The role of repetition in mastery: The hidden power of showing up weekly, refining your craft, and building real evidence of skill. * Why social media has sold you a lie: The myth of "easy business" and what it actually takes to build success from scratch. * How to turn experience into leadership: Using your journey, insights, and failures to create value and impact in your industry.

🧠 Key insights from the episode: "Competence comes from practising a skill that is difficult and getting so good at it that it doesn't matter what happens — you're still competent."

"You're not an entrepreneur until you're on the journey of developing competence."

"When you've lived it, you can speak the truth. That's what people feel – that's wisdom."

"Business isn't easy. You're making up an idea and trying to convince people to buy it. That's the hardest and most beautiful thing in the world."

You're not struggling with sales - you're struggling to have an impact at a big enough scale to make sales.

In this week's video, I'm breaking down what's really going on when you're not making enough money in your business — and how to fix it. This is not another "sales hack" video. It's about learning to have a real impact on people, before they ever pay you. That's marketing!

If people can feel the impact you can have on them i.e if you've already helped them see themselves differently, think differently, or take new action, then you'll won't have to convince them to buy. They'll already know there's value in what you do and they'll want to find out more.

In this episode we cover:

• The two real reasons you're not making sales (and they've got nothing to do with your offer).
• Why impact at scale is the real metric you should be tracking — not just reach or clicks.
• What it actually means to "change someone's life before they pay you."
• How to build trust by delivering real transformation through your free content.
• The role of YouTube, Instagram, and events in scaling your impact.
• Why your marketing content must have soul — and how audiences instantly know when it doesn't.
• How to collect real feedback ("data") by testing your ideas live — not hiding behind PDFs and webinars.
• The truth about YouTube growth: what I learned when my editor Chris showed me the data (spoiler: 60% of my views come from people who've never seen me before).
• Why repeating your key stories matters more than inventing new ones every week.

Quote moments from this episode:

"If you can change someone's life before they pay you, you'll never have to sell."

"We can feel when content has no soul — that's why AI-written posts fall flat."

"Your hook isn't something invent. It's just the content people react best to."

Business can be awful! Let’s be honest. Some days, it feels like it’s never going to work; like you’re never going to make it. You’re going to want to quit. You’ll get tired of waiting for the ‘lucky break’. You’ll wonder if you should have stuck in that earlier career.

If you’re feeling like this today, this episode is for you.

In this raw conversation, I want to share the “terrible advice” that will turn things around for you, help you fall back in love with business, and get you back on the path to success. We’ll talk:

What you’re waiting for

Why you should stop romanticising the “lucky break.”

How to reframe your story to embrace the pain

Accepting that discomfort is the path. Growth = discomfort.

How to get out of your head and back into the work.

You are more capable than you realise. You already have the resources you need. You just need to take the next step with courage.

If you were to ask me how to make more sales in your business I’d say: stop trying to cheat the process and just market better. Marketing is the simple act of adding value to someone’s life before you ask them for anything in return.

Examples of marketing done well: You’re a guest on a podcast of someone your future clients listen to. You’re talking about your journey, you’re sharing your wisdom, you’re helping people believe they can do it to.

You write a LinkedIn post sharing the 3 biggest mistakes people make when approaching [your industry/topic], and you explain how to avoid them.

You run a live networking working and walk through a key process you teach to your clients.

You make a YouTube video explaining the best way to solve a problem your clients have, and break it down step by step.

On your sales page, you explain why you’ve set up your offer in that way, rather than just list the features.

You write a blog post walking through the reasoning behind a trend or decision in your industry, helping your audience feel informed.

You go live on social media and answer the top three questions you get asked most often, but you actually share useful insights.

The mistake most people make in marketing: The mistake most people make in marketing is that they focus on the hooks, gimmicks and ‘promise’ of the offer. It is important to know what the one big promise of your offer is, but you will find it so much easier to sell if you spend time explaining or showing how your approach will help you to deliver on that promise.

For example, I could say: “When you join Straight Line Through, you get access to weekly calls”, or I could say: “Each Wednesday in Straight Line Through I go live at 12pm. Often I lead with a live teach on a core topic around sales, marketing, and mindset, but there is always room for your questions. You could bring me your sales page for review. You could think out loud about a problem you’re struggling with. You could get advice on how to market your new offer. The purpose of these calls is to give you somewhere practical and inspiring to go each month, to make sure you have somewhere to get your questions answered, and to introduce you to other entrepreneurs in our community.”

Which of those two is more compelling and more likely to lead to a sale?

The same is true of marketing in general. You could talk about the big six figure year, or talk broadly about how you turned your luck around in business, or you could try to articulate the process you mastered, or the five biggest things you’ve learn on your journey, or how you overcame the biggest obstacle in your sector.

People are looking for mentors, coaches, guides, leaders all the time. The difference between the ones that sell and the ones that don’t is that good leaders show people how they can get there too. That’s all marketing is, done well, and compounded over time.

Seth Godin’s Approach to Marketing in ‘This is Marketing’ Seth Godin’s book This is Marketing had a profound impact on me as a marketer because he put into words something I knew intrinsically to be true: marketing isn’t about shouting the loudest or tricking people into a funnel. It’s about earning trust over time through consistency, generosity, and empathy.

That means:

• Consistency: showing up over and over again so people know they can rely on you.
• Generosity: giving away your best ideas and insights, not holding back until someone pays.
• Empathy: taking the time to really understand the fears, hopes, and struggles of the people you want to serve.

This isn’t fast. It isn’t flashy. And it won’t give you overnight results. But what it does give you is longevity in your market. It builds a loyal audience who actually want to hear from you, who share your work, who want to consume all your content, and who eventually buy with confidence – because you’ve already proven, over and over again, that you can help them.

That’s the essence of good marketing. Not hooks. Not gimmicks. Not tricks. Service.

That’s what we explore in this week’s episode.

In 18 months, you won't know if that image, video or news clip is real or AI so be smart: start finding ways to show your clients just how real you are, and you'll win more business. ↓ Before we came to Italy, I showed Lucy's daughter a photo of Lake Como. She said "No, that's AI", and I laughed. "Wait till you see it in real life", I said, "and then you'll know - that's real."

I think it's happening already...

We're doubting that content is real.

Whilst this was once limited to photos and maybe some dramatically staged social media clips, it's now extending through to full videos, AI generated courses, entire scenes fabricated by code.

We used to say 'that's fake'.

Now we say 'that's AI'.

The remedy is simple. We need to start mixing in more 'proof of life' content into our marketing mix: content that shows we are undeniably real, we are human.

In this week's episode - Human vs AI: Why Being Real Will Be Your Superpower in 2026 - I discuss this concept and show you the three types of content I'm running at the moment to find balance between showing I'm real, positioning myself as a leader in the field, and making sure the efforts are scalable for growth.

This is an interesting watch, one that will change the way you think about content in the coming months and help you realise just how important 'proof of life' content really is.

P.s. I've added a list of ten proof of life content ideas to the write up of this video. You can read them + watch the video here:

Most people are still writing SEO optimised content for Google… but the way we search is changing.

Five key take aways for ranking in ChatGPT: ➔ AI responds to real prompts, rather than vague keywords and search terms. Think about full questions your clients would be asking ChatGPT and write questions to answer those more human prompts.

➔ Consistency builds authority — ChatGPT “reads” your homepage, bios, blogs, and news stories. Say the same thing across all of them to help create a consistent narrative about your business.

➔ Structure matters — Use clear H2s and H3s with long-tail search phrases like “how to attract clients through Instagram”, rather than e.g. “Key points”. (Look at the title of this section as an example!)

➔ Transcripts and show notes boost discoverability — AI can’t watch your video, but it can read everything around it. Use show notes to ‘tell’ ChatGPT what’s in your video and use it as a chance to create content that ChatGPT could return in answers.

➔ You can check your rankings — Tools like SEMrush now show where you appear in ChatGPT results. This is real-time visibility.

If you want to build a business through inbound discovery – watch this video on how to show up in Chat GPT. This approach says goodbye to chasing down followers and hello to creating content for the people searching for you right now.

In this new episode, I break down:

• Why ChatGPT is changing search behaviour
• The difference between Google vs ChatGPT prompts
• How to appear in ChatGPT responses for your ideal search terms
• The surprising way one client found me via ChatGPT
• Why your homepage, blog and video titles matter more than ever
• A simple system I use to write searchable show notes
• How SEMrush now tracks ChatGPT keyword rankings
• How to turn Instagram posts into SEO-ready blog content

“Stop playing small” is terrible advice because no-one really knows what it means to play big, or how to approach it!

When people talk about playing small, they usually mention things like:

• Not charging their worth
• Self-sabotaging
• Avoiding key projects and actions
• Not being visible
• Not going for their dreams!

Does that mean that playing big is the opposite of this:

• Charging your worth
• Letting yourself have the win!
• Tackling key projects and taking difficult actions
• Being visible and building your brand
• Going for your dreams!

Probably!

But, I think we can go further.

In today’s episode, I’m going to break down the psychology of playing small and offer a very specific approach for showing up differently.

1. Grit vs. Campaign Thinking: The Danger of Living in Crisis Mode We often celebrate “grit” – the ability to push through, keep going, get it done. Angela Duckworth even made it famous in her work on success, showing that grit (passion + perseverance) is a better predictor of long-term achievement than IQ or talent.

But grit without vision is just survival.

If you wake up every day thinking, “What’s broken? What needs fixing?” – that’s reactivity, not strategy. It’s a common pattern I see in entrepreneurs:

Hustling for last-minute sales.

Overbooking and over-delivering.

Staying up late to make ends meet.

That’s not bad – sometimes it’s necessary. But if you live there for too long, you’ll build a business around firefighting, not future-building.

The Science:

This is partly driven by your brain’s amygdala — the centre for fear and threat detection. When we’re uncertain or under pressure, it activates your fight-or-flight response. That’s when you default to solving immediate problems instead of building long-term solutions.

But playing big requires prefrontal cortex thinking – the part of your brain responsible for planning, reasoning, and imagining the future. It’s not activated when you’re constantly stressed.

The Shift:

Playing big means stepping back to ask:

“Where am I going? And what do I need to build this quarter, this year, to get there?”

That’s campaign thinking. That’s strategy. Grit might get you out of a hole, but campaign thinking builds your true vision.

1. Passive vs. Directive Thinking: Who’s Really in Charge? One of the hardest ways we play small is by letting our emotions and beliefs steer our decisions. You know it’s happening when you say things like:

“I just wasn’t in the right headspace today.”

“I’ve always struggled with that.”

“I just didn’t feel like it.”

As someone who’s been prone to depressive episodes most of my life, I know what it’s like to feel low, unmotivated, even hopeless.

But I also know this:

You are not your thoughts. You are not your feelings. You are the person who notices them – and chooses what to do next.

The Science:

In cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), there’s a powerful concept called cognitive distancing – the ability to observe your thoughts without attaching to them as truth.

This is a cornerstone of emotional regulation and personal change.

Instead of “I am overwhelmed,” you say, “I’m experiencing overwhelm.”

That tiny shift gives you space to choose a different response.

The Shift:

A passive thinker lets the day happen to them.

A directive thinker observes what’s happening – then acts anyway.

They don’t wait to feel motivated. They create motivation using little tricks like going on a walk, promising yourself a reward in exchange for the work, creating a lovely environment to work just so you can get started.

Sometimes that means waking up at 5am to do the hard thing first. Sometimes it means scheduling joy, like a movie or coffee out, just to trigger some dopamine and keep going. Motivating yourself to do the hard job is a skill. And it is a skill that can be learned.

1. Tasks vs. Projects: Are You Creating or Just Completing? Let me ask you this:

If I opened your calendar for next week… Would I see tasks? Or would I see projects?

Would I see time blocked out for:

• Writing your book
• Filming your course
• Preparing your TEDx talk
• Building your funnel
• Practising your speaking

Or would I see:

• Meetings
• Admin
• Zooms booked in by other people
• “Reply to emails”
• “Post something on Instagram”

The former moves your life forward. The latter keeps it ticking over.

The Psychology:

This is the difference between being busy and being effective. Our brains are wired to love “completion” – every time we tick off a to-do item, we get a dopamine hit. That’s why it feels good to stay in action mode. But it’s short-lived.

Creative, meaningful work – the kind that actually grows your business – is messy. It’s nonlinear. You don’t get a hit every 15 minutes. You sit in discomfort. You wrestle. And you often feel like you’re failing right before you break through.

The Shift:

Playing big means prioritising outcomes over checklists.

Not “What do I need to get done today?”

But:

“What am I building this month? And have I protected the time to do it properly?”

Final Thought: Playing big isn’t louder. It isn’t shinier. It’s not about showing off.

It’s about being honest with yourself:

Are you building what you really want?

Are you leading your own thoughts?

Are you creating space for the work that matters?

Playing big requires discipline. Not in the punishing, productivity-obsessed way – but in the “this is who I’m becoming” kind of way.

It’s showing up when it’s hard. Doing the work you don’t yet feel ready for. And backing your dreams with action – not just ideas.

So if you’ve been stuck in the busyness, the feelings, or the inbox…

This is your reminder to come back to your power.

What does your version of playing big look like? And what are you going to do about it this week?

I wish I could convey this one thing about marketing.

MARKETING = IMPACT MARKETING = IMPACT MARKETING = IMPACT

Posting isn't marketing if it doesn't open someone's thinking, influence a new behaviour, or challenge an old behaviour. Marketing is marketing when it has an impact on someone's life, and you become associated with that impact.

If we can get someone's attention, get them to pay attention to us, and share something that truly changes their life, then we're marketing. For this reason, simply posting isn't marketing. Marketing is more about building a connection between your brand and value that your clients want.

Examples of things clients might say about your content are:

• "I follow them because they inspire me"
• "I follow them because they tell the truth about [XXX]"
• "I follow them because they're funny and help me tune out of my life"
• "I follow them because they share technical details on how to [XXX}"
• "I follow them because they're helping me to face the truth about how I [XXX]"

When you think about your marketing, what do you want clients to say about you; why do they follow you; what do you give them? Put another way, we can ask about the impact we're having on someone's life. I think when someone comes across your content for the first time, they don't actually want to follow you. They're following too many people already. To get the follow, you've got to share something novel, new, insightful, truly helpful.

When I challenge people on their marketing, I often ask them if they're posting what it really takes or a more palatable version. Are they really running the steps they're sharing in their own lives, or are they doing something different? In my marketing, I've always told the truth about how hard business is, about how much time it takes to build a brand, about the steps required up front to make sales.

There was a fear for me that the process was too hard for people and they'd not do it, so not follow me. But honestly, I couldn't see another way? I had to tell people the truth because I had to get them turned on to the real work as quickly as possible. I therefore focused on a mix of 'how to' marketing content and the mindset work needed to do that difficult work in the first place.

As you watch (or listen to) today's episode, I want you to consider seven key questions:

1. What is the real problem I solve - not just the surface symptom, but the deeper challenge they’re facing?
2. What does it truly take to solve this problem - and what honest content can I make around this?
3. What questions are my high calibre clients searching out and how can I make content to answer those questions?
4. How can I 'show' more of my expertise, rather than just talk about it?
5. What’s the emotional shift you want your content to create in someone - from stuck to hopeful, from confused to clear, from overwhelmed to decisive?
6. What’s one truth you’ve been holding back from sharing because you’re afraid it’s too much — and what would happen if you shared it anyway?
7. If someone binge-watched your last 10 pieces of content, what would they say your brand stands for?

I felt sick the day after I offered Chris, my new videographer, a role.

You might be surprised to read this today and worried that Chris might find out. Don’t worry - he knows! I told him and we filmed a video about it.

The feelings surprised me.

I’ve hired before.

I’ve had teams before.

I’ve made leaps before.

But this time it felt different.

I felt resourced. I felt certain. I felt ready.

So why the anxiety?

Anxiety often arises when our brain’s fear circuitry - particularly the amygdala - triggers a stress response that doesn’t quite match the situation. It was useful from an evolutionary standpoint, helping humans to anticipate danger. But now, it can misfire, leading to things like catastrophising a situation (I’m going to go bankrupt!), focusing on the threat and not the reality (all my sales with dry up), feelings of being ‘beyond our comfort zone’ (I’m not ready for this, it’s too much!).

Do any of those sound familiar? Other, more subtle ones include:

• I’m not good enough / cut out to do this
• Someone is going to find me out
• I’m not doing enough!
• Something bad is about to happen
• Other people seem to find this easier!
• I need to learn one more thing, then I’ll be ready

I recognise all of those.

In fact, I’ll let you in on a secret. I started my masters in Psychology because I wanted to know what made a great entrepreneur. I didn’t know if I had what it took to ‘make it’, to go all the way. I wanted to find the perfect formula for entrepreneurship and model it. Ha. I’ll tell you how that goes. For now, I’ll just keep showing up shall I?

The hard thing about entrepreneurship is that we have to live in this zone of discomfort to grow. We’re constantly in the leap between safe havens. And just when we’ve mastered one thing, we have to master another, and another. This constant cycle of growth is very taxing on our nervous systems, on the very human part of ourselves, and this tax shows up as fear, anxiety, burnout, exhaustion, procrastination. If we put it off, we can’t fail right? We sit with the pain of avoidance, just to save ourselves from the pain of change.

For this reason, being successful as an entrepreneur isn’t really about the leap itself. It’s actually about the gap in between one version of ourselves and the next. It’s about how we resource ourselves in that gap. It’s about how we react to the feelings of discomfort, which only show up in the gap. It’s about how we choose to act as we land on the other side of the gap.

I find that when I make ‘the leap’, I want to stay the same. I want to have the same feelings, the same comforts, the same thoughts. I want to prioritise the same things, do the same activities, continue with the same behaviours. But I can’t. The net sum of those things is the person on the other side of the gap.

To continue is to go back.

To change is to stick the landing.

And this is what we’re exploring in today’s episode.

Ready to dive in?

If you’re in the middle of a leap - or find yourself avoiding one - this episode will help you to see where you are in the process, discover what it’s going to take to stick the landing, and focus on the person you need to become, not the fear holding you back!

In today’s video, I’m sharing the three things I keep telling all my clients right now about what it truly takes to grow your business in a noisy, saturated market.

This isn’t (just) about “hustling harder” or simply posting more reels. It’s about making strategic moves, trusting yourself more deeply on the key details, and having the courage to try something bold and new to reach new people.

By the end of this video, you’ll have a fresh perspective on what’s really holding you back, with new ideas for marketing your business in 2025.

We cover:

• Why your business isn’t growing (and how to fix it)

• Why relying too heavily on your coach could be holding you back
• The best possible way to respond to failure (which will be frequent)

Key moments:

00:00 – 00:25

Why posting on social media isn’t growing your business, and what will instead.

00:25 – 00:49

Lisa outlines the 3 key ideas:

• Push into new markets
• Don’t trust your coach on the details
• Get better, faster

00:49 – 03:33

Pushing into new markets:

Lisa shares how she broke into new cities (Leeds, Birmingham, Newcastle) without a network - and challenges you to do the uncomfortable to expand your reach and grow your network.

03:33 – 06:00

Simple strategies for expanding your reach - online and offline. From Facebook groups to city-specific ads and Google Maps hacks.

06:00 – 08:00

Why posting on social media is not enough and what to do instead.

08:00 – 11:09

Why you should stop relying on your coach for everything and bring better data to the table.

11:09 – 13:08

Taking real risks in the market to generate insight, not just polish offers behind the scenes.

13:08 – 14:10

Turn failed launches into feedback loops. Lisa shares a behind-the-scenes story about a £99 offer that failed… and the £20k result that followed.

14:10 – 17:05

Failing quickly: The power of testing, iteration, and relentless experimentation.

17:05 – 18:35

How consistent reps and real-world experience make you a better speaker, creator, and business owner.

Brand new keynote talk from Lisa Bean on how to grow your online coaching / education business, and make more sales as a purpose-driven entrepreneur.

This talk walks through how to warm up cold leads, build trust before a sales call, and create marketing content that leads to real clients.

Whether you’re a coach, service provider, or creative entrepreneur, this is a straight-talking session on marketing, mindset, and visibility for 2025.

Key Timestamps:

00:00 – 01:09 The belief that changed everything: “There is so much money out there to be made.” Customers are already looking — the challenge is being findable.

01:09 – 02:34 Understanding the full customer journey: Cold lead → warm lead → client → repeat client

02:34 – 03:04 The mistake most people make online: asking for too much trust too soon.

03:04 – 04:06 How ranking on Google for “business coach” helped Lisa generate high-converting leads.

04:06 – 05:10 Why her sales calls convert 9.9/10 — and how you can warm up new clients in the same way.

05:10 – 06:10 What to have in place when someone finds you for the first time.

06:10 – 08:00 How to hook people instantly in your videos and why you should give value up front.

08:00 – 09:25 The importance of clarity on your website. If they’re lost, you’ve lost them.

09:25 – 11:10 The three types of content every business needs:

• Content that reaches new people

• Content that builds your brand

• Content that makes your offers clear and easy to buy

11:10 – 14:00 Different ways to reach new audiences: networking, SEO, speaking, ads

14:00 – 15:30 Why marketing matters more than talent — and why you must learn it yourself.

15:30 – 17:00 Credibility signposting: how to show that your brand is experienced and established.

17:00 – 19:00 Why customers need to “test drive” your offer. Discovery calls aren’t enough.

19:00 – 21:00 How Lisa built her events strategy — and why she ran them at a loss to build trust.

21:00 – 23:14 The value of documenting your events and using content as your proof.

23:14 – 25:00 How to create ads from spontaneous moments and event footage.

25:00 – 27:00 Organic social content that builds trust and attention. Why variety matters.

27:00 – 29:00 Selling without pressure. The work you do before the offer is what sells.

29:00 – 31:00 The role of thought leadership in helping people understand what you do and how.

31:00 – 34:00 Turn your real-life insights and client patterns into weekly content.

34:00 – 36:00 Thought leadership as a map: your job is to guide people through the journey.

36:00 – 40:00 Final advice: teach weekly, calibrate your ideas, and document what works.

If you hired a sales person and found out they were doing what you’re doing now to sell, how happy would you be?!

For a lot of people, the true answer is NOT VERY.

We’d want a sales person:

Reaching out to new prospective buyers

Pitching weekly or daily either face to face, at events or on webinars

Using content to build a brand / reach new audiences and retarget them with offers

Building a database and following up

Networking at least twice a week…

RIGHT?

But most business owners aren’t doing that. Nope - they’re posting on social media, working on a sales page, networking when they can but not really following up.

When you put it starkly like that, you can see the void…and the opportunity!

In this week’s video, we’re going to have a chat about making sales in your business, looking specifically at:

• What your product needs in order to be attractive (and useful!) to buyers

• How to stand out by innovating in your marketing

• Why content makes selling easier, and what content to make to help!

• The one big feeling a buyer has before they buy from you

• What every step of the journey needs in order to help you make more sales and win more clients in your business

• The true difference between a warm and cold lead…and how to warm up a cold lead nicely

• Do lead magnets work, or rather: Why lead magnets work and how to maximise them.

As ever, this is not a prescriptive list of things to do. It’s more of a discussion about the premise of selling and the core concepts of winning new customers in your business.

Dive in and enjoy!

"Who am I to do this?" is one of the most common forms of self-doubt we hear, often translated into: Who am I to do this?

In today's episode we're going to get into the detail of this self-doubt and imposter syndrome, and look at very practical ways you can overcome the feeling of 'who am I to do this'?

We'll look at:

• How normal imposter syndrome is and how successful people confront the doubt when it arises.

• How to support yourself through 'self-coaching' and 'self-soothing', with some practical ideas for inspiring yourself back to meaningful action.

• How to spot and shift negative thoughts to change your whole focal point and vibration. You're allowed to have negative thoughts! Just don't make them the focus of your vibration.

• The importance of community, and surrounding yourself with positive people trying to grow.

• How to craft a positive narrative around who you are, what you're doing and who you're becoming.

• And how to change who you 'are' by changing your environment.

In this episode, you're going to become really intentional about your energy, your identity and how you respond to doubt and imposter syndrome. I hope you enjoy!

Change is a physical act. Once you catch a glimpse of the person you want to become and the life you want to live, there are key steps you can take to expand that feeling, take meaningful action, and hold the intention until your new reality unfolds in front of you. In today’s video, I’m breaking down the 3-5 essential actions you can take to step into the next level of your life and business.

-

In today’s episode, I'm going to walk you through what it takes to truly change your life, break old patterns, and rise to a whole new level of success and impact.

We're covering:

0:00 - Intro: Change is a Physical Act Change begins with seeing who you want to become and then physically taking action to make that vision a reality. It’s not just about mindset shifts—it’s about real-world steps that will push you into alignment with your desired life.

1:01 - The Commitment: Moving from Six Figures to Seven I committed to shifting from running a six-figure business to a seven-figure one. In this section, I talk about how I realised the limitations of focusing on "six figures" and the mindset change that came with wanting more. Changing your identity and vibration is the first step to changing your life.

2:55 - Life Mirrors You: What’s Showing Up for You? Your outer world is a direct reflection of your inner state. If you're not happy with what’s happening around you, look inside. I explain how your bank account, relationships, health, and energy levels give you honest feedback about where you’re at in your journey.

3:50 - Manifestation and Vibrational Alignment: Be the Result First You can’t wait for the results to show up before you start acting like the person who already has them. In this section, I dive into how to get into vibrational alignment with your goals and why you need to embody the energy of your desired outcome before it arrives.

5:21 - Interpreting Life Differently: Two People, Same Event Two people can experience the same situation and interpret it completely differently based on their vibration. I share a story about a busy week where I chose to embrace an exciting speaking opportunity instead of feeling overwhelmed—highlighting how your attitude can shift everything.

6:10 - The Glow Up: What My Transformation Looked Like Six to eight weeks ago, I committed to becoming the person who runs a seven-figure business. I break down what this glow-up looked like in action—from shifting my mindset to overhauling my habits and how I carry myself. Your glow-up is waiting for you, but it requires dedication and consistency.

8:03 - Strategy Session: Using ChatGPT to Plan My Business Model When I wanted to figure out how to scale my business to seven figures, I literally took out my laptop, opened ChatGPT, and mapped out a plan. This is one of the key strategies I used to see the path forward and break down seemingly impossible goals into actionable steps.

12:18 - Expanding Capacity: Taking on Bigger Projects In order to level up, I had to expand my capacity to handle more—more clients, more events, more opportunities. I share how I’m ramping up my events, networking, and speaking engagements, and why capacity is critical to scaling your business and achieving bigger goals.

14:45 - Shifting Vibration: Creating Opportunities Through Action When you operate at a higher vibration, new opportunities flow in. From big networking events to new business deals, I explain how staying in that high-frequency state allows you to magnetize better and bigger opportunities.

18:29 - Turning Vision Into Action: It's About Projects, Not Dreams It’s not enough to have a vision—you need to turn that vision into concrete projects. I discuss how making real progress in your business and life requires taking responsibility and setting up systems and actions that align with your goals.

22:40 - Grounding Yourself in Action: Focus on What You Did Do Instead of focusing on what didn’t go right, I ground myself in the actions I did take. I share how reflecting on my wins and consistent actions helps me stay aligned with my bigger vision. This shift from focusing on lack to focusing on action is key to staying in a high vibration.

28:35 - Three Key Responsibility Scales: Vision, Vibration, Healing To see real change, you need to take responsibility for three things: your vision (turning it into action), your vibration (keeping it high and aligned), and your healing (letting go of blocks that are holding you back). I introduce the concept of "responsibility scales" to help you assess where you are and where you need to grow.

37:18 - Visualisation Exercise: Scaling Up Your Life and Business I guide you through a powerful visualisation exercise to help you see what your life looks like at different levels—5/10, 7/10, and 9/10. This is a game-changing practice that will allow you to get clear on what you need to shift to reach your next level.

"We don't want your sales page promise, we want to follow a true 'person of substance.'"

Is it fair to say the illusion of social media is over in the sense that we don't want another well-hooked promise... we want insight, we want inspiration, we want connection?

More than any big sales page offer, testimonial proof or clever marketing hook, don't we want to feel like we're on the journey with someone we can trust, that we're following someone who shares genuine insights that can help us move forward, like there's somewhere we can go to get back on track when we feel lost or uninspired?

We don't want the sales page promise, we want to follow a person of substance right? Someone we can trust. Someone who shares true insights from the journey and the market. Someone we can even lean on in tough times.

Being this person of substance is what I'm talking about in today's episode, along with two other vital strategies for building community, audience and business in 2025.

This is my approach to business and truth be told, it always has been.

Press play to:

• Hear an interesting and novel conversation about marketing in 2025
• Learn three key areas to focus your marketing efforts
• Make some key decisions about your updated marketing strategy
• Uncover a really interesting way to hold the room and win more work
• Go through my actual strategy for winning business for 2025.

I know these videos aren't quick and dirty. I want them to be more conversational and richer in insights. So plug me in whilst you're walking the dog or driving to your next event and let's have this chat.

I’ve just come back from a massive summer of selling, and it was helped by two things:

(1) I got married and took a week off, so I had to do more in less time to be fully present at my wedding; and,

(2) everyone was reporting 'sales are down, sales are down' but people were looking to me for how to make sales.

It’s a topic no one wants to get into publicly but behind the scenes, soooo many of my client calls are about turning on sales in online businesses.

So, I didn’t even really have the answer. I mean, I did - I know how to sell and what it takes but it felt like this summer, something else was needed...something a little more extra haha.

I reminded myself of two laws that have always served me:

(1) I never got more by doing less - so do more Lisa: explosive action, explosive energy, explosive service; and,

(2) If I put myself out there fully - in heart and spirit and honesty - I would be supported and good things would happen: so turn up and serve Lisa. Go be useful to future clients!

So, I cranked up the content. But, because I didn’t have time to get all my gear out, film, edit and produce, I just filmed stuff live and then reposted that content.

I uploaded an Instagram live, called ‘how to make sales over summer’ (you might have seen it as '100 sales attempts'), to YouTube and to Facebook and my podcast and my site and then emailed it to everyone too.

Then I got clever and spent £100 on ads boosting it to strangers who are most like my current audience and it reached another 60,000 people.

That was pretty cool.

I sent mailers off the cuff, which I typed on my phone...at the gym or on a dog walk.

I made more content for social, scheduled it and sent it. But it wasn’t all Reels for reach. It was stuff I knew my small, current community would see and like. A lot of it came from membership content, insights from client calls and clips from the live I did.

I said yes to speaking at a rather large summer summit (shout out to Jacky who turned up BIG over summer!), even though I really didn’t have the time lol. And I announced a new webinar called ‘Mentor Vibes’, which I made the slides for the day before (because it was literally all so new!) and filmed it live with everyone on the call.

I also finished my '£99 marketing to sell' course, which gave me the perfect 'attraction event' to rave about, so went nuts on telling people about that too haha.

Sales exploded!!!

I sold my £7 guide and my £99 micro course on marketing and won new clients for my £900 hyper focused coaching offer and Straight Line Through (£996) and I’ve got so many people interested in cohort 2 of SLT. It’s madness. But equally it’s not! Because…

💡 If you show up more, with more value, to more people, of course you create more opportunity.

💡 If you run webinars on novel things that are working for you and turn up generously with real knowledge, tactics and energy, of course more people lean into you.

💡 If you say yes and figure it out on the go, of course you’ll fit it in and honour your promises.

💡 If you trust the magic and purpose within you and open the gates and let it out, of course you’ll be of service and magic will take hold of you and the whole situation.

But, I have to say, there was something that made all the difference. Like, it all mashed together to give me the win but when I think about what really made the difference, it’s this:

Authentic vibes: reach: depth: offer.

I showed up as myself and I went a bit mad. I let my full self out to play. Not everyone wanted that energy but those who did welcomed it fully. They wanted it and they needed it. (That's the authentic vibes bit.)

I used free and paid content to get reach. Getting into other people’s fabulous networks was a win too!

Long format, long format, long format. This is the depth bit! Make a live and share it, run a webinar and teach, give people real strategy, real insights, real guidance. Go deep and truly create transformation up front.

Pitch!!! (The offer bit.) I did that webinar and sold my heart out at the end, but in succchh a chill way. I sold my stuff for the people who wanted to work with me and went into the details, but said to those who didn’t “that’s the end of the content if you don’t want to hear the pitch”. Or something like that. And I sold it.

All this to say…

You don't get more from doing less. At this stage, for most business owners, it is explosive action, explosive energy, explosive service that will give you the explosive result.

So what's your next move?

Masculine energy creates the safety and carves out the time our feminine energy needs in order to breathe into our art.

When people aren't making progress in their business, we can say they're stuck and don't know what to try next, they're overwhelmed by all the jobs on their list, they have a subconscious block that's causing them to self-sabotage, they're exhausted from all the effort (burnt out) or the classic: I just don't have time.

This can all be true.

But you know what else might be true?

They might be excellent at feminine flow and terrible at masculine container.

Or the other way around.

The feminine flow is the unfolding of the work, the flow. It's you being you. It's you enjoying being alive. It's the intuition on what to do. It's the very act of creating in pure joy. For me, it's the silence of the day.

The masculine container is the goal, the allocated time, the deadline and the security. It says: "You're safe, go ahead". For me, it's time in my diary, allocated to work on something I care about.

When you realise both are needed to be successful you can start to look at what you're good at and where you need to put a little more focus.

For example, setting the alarm and getting up with purpose is your masculine energy. Enjoying a slow breakfast, walking the dog in peace (listening to the birds and enjoying nature), then sitting down to create without pressure is your feminine energy.

Likewise, making a to do list is masculine energy. Journalling to clear your thoughts is feminine energy. Putting allocated time in your diary is masculine energy. Enjoying your spontaneity in that time is your feminine energy.

If you're overwhelmed by all the things on your list, you never have time to create your art or or you're afraid you won't make it through the month, you need to learn how to master your masculine energy to give yourself security, to provide focus, to ring fence time for your important art.

If you're lost in mindless tasks, your nervous system feels totally overstimulated, you feel angry and irritable and burnt out by the end of the day, you need to learn how to give room to your feminine energy to offload the deadlines, to sit in your own energy and to make time for you, to make your art, to soak up the healing vibes of nature. This is the topic of today's episode. It's actually taken from last month's membership content on how to balance masculine and feminine energies to bring your work to the world.

Watching this, you will understand how masculine and feminine energy combine to help you bring your art to the world, you'll get original new ideas for experiencing both energies and you'll have also get a chance to see what this Be The Person membership is all about.

I really hope you enjoy today's episode. If you do, drop me a little message to let me know.

From the messy start to the polished commercial finish, all art must be created and then curated in order to be seen and appreciated.

And we want our art to be seen don't we? We want our videos to be watched and our books to be read.

Therefore, as purpose-driven creators, entrepreneurs and artists we must separate the ideas of the messy artful start and the commercial polished finish. In the beginning just write, make, create, share.

As the idea develops and you start to give it shape, consider who might appreciate this and how you can package it up and position it to HELP THEM FIND IT.

That's all this is - it's playing the game to help someone find you and your work so that it can move them, help them, inspire them.

Messy start then commercial finish.

You know, the memory of who you 'are' is so much more powerful than the identity of the person you're trying to become simply because it has more evidence and has been 'true' for longer.

In trying to change your life and get a new result in your business, you have to let go of the memory of who you thought you were and allow yourself to consider a new identity and narrative...every single day.

Look around you right now...

The room you're in is telling you who you are.

The worries / dreams you woke up with are telling you who you are.

The clothes you're wearing today are telling you who you are.

Even the emails you receive are telling you who you are.

They all support a narrative. And you believe that narrative so much, you act it out and act within its framework every day.

Even if you have a vision board, or list out your goals or are going to the gym to hype yourself up, underneath all of this, two things remain true:

(1) You must fill the void your yearning created in order to get the result - we do this by looking for ways to feel good and taking creative action; and,

(2) You must remove the narrative that is sabotaging your result on loop, without needing the poor result to flip the script! Oh my!

In today's episode, I want to do something a little bit different. I want to explain to you what I know about the three levels of manifestation, one of them being 'grit work', I want to show you how to measure the strength of your intention by the actions you're taking, and I want you to get honest about your next move.

Look, for a long time I've found it hard to balance the narratives of manifestation and hard work. I don't like it when someone focuses exclusively on one end of the spectrum when they both have a place. The key, it turns out, isn't in how they're different, but in how they're the same.

If you wake up with positive expectation that good things are coming your way and use your own unique edge to actually create something magical in the world, you're well on your way. The only things left to do are to fill any void of yearning and remove the block that sabotages the result when it comes and you're there.

I want to formalise this process for you today and help you find more reasons to believe in your vision and take bolder, truer action towards it. Manifestation and work come hand in hand. They're friends, not enemies.

So, press play to:

• Learn about the three levels of 'manifestation' the books forgot to tell us.
• See where your subconscious intentions are in conflict with your conscious intentions and bring things in balance.
• Break your vision down into 'levels' to really see what it will take to make it happen.
• Get a gritty, honest and somehow magical boost to keep going on your journey of transformation.

I really hope you enjoy today's episode and it unlocks something for you that helps you go bigger in your efforts and energies today.

Look truth be told, a coach CANNOT hold you responsible to get important things done in your life and business.

If you really want to achieve an outcome that matters to you, there are four things I would do:

(1) List your project in order of importance.

(2) Create 'containers' that make you produce key outcomes because people are expecting them / paying you for them.

(3) Create deadlines you cannot wiggle out of.

(4) Use a coach to run through your work, get important feedback and pick their brains on how to make it better.

Press play for a quick spot of inspiration on how to be more productive, hold yourself accountable and move your life and business forward.

There comes a point in your journey that you can no longer push through the pain to change your life and grow your business. Instead, you must sit in the discomfort of your pain and heal the subconscious pattern you're repeating.

Changing at this subconscious level of patterning will lead to new thoughts, new behaviours and new results in your life and your business.

But, it's not easy work! At the first level, you need to spot the pattern. Then accept responsibility for changing the pattern. The stop the pattern when it loops again.

In today's shorter episode, I'm going to show you how getting into debt three times taught me how to heal using this approach, rather than hustle my way through my pain.

Open projects come with an emotional toll! If there's something you can't get to because of time, but you're seeing evidence of it everywhere you turn, that will drain your energy and enthusiasm for that project. It's just so frustrating and taxing!

So, here's what I recommend:

(1) List your projects in order of priority. I know you want to do them all at once but you can't. So be bold. Put them in order so you can give them your all when they get to the top of the list.

[Tip: I like to think about one key project per month! If the 'big project' is something like 'renovate hallway', I break it down into cut the wood panels, attach wood panels, prep, paint prep, painting, dress. One of two of these sub projects are allocated per month.]

(2) Look in your diary and physically ring fence time to work on the upcoming projects. Recently, in writing my book proposal for Hay House, I scheduled time to clear things off my list to make room and I scheduled time for research, drafting ideas and polishing key sections. If you don't schedule the time, you don't have the time.

(3) Use time slots! I would set myself a 60 minute timer with one key task like 'write bio in book proposal' or '60 minutes editing for membership content'. After the 60 minutes, I've begun and don't want to stop. But it stops me bailing too soon!

At the end of the day, your success comes down to how well you can define these projects, allocate time to them and work through one by one in a self directed way.

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.

Please do enjoy.

There are two types of work required to get the result you want in life and business: (1) The physical graft of making progress; and (2) The emotional work of overcoming your own blocks and self-limiting beliefs.

It's vital, when trying to change your life, to consider who you need to become as a person in order to hold the result. This means taking physical steps and building the habits of that person and doing the work to move through subconscious thoughts that might be holding you back.

So, what skills do you need? What physical steps do you need to take? What habits do you need to build?

And...

Where are you holding yourself back? How are you self-sabotaging? What pain are you turning away from you might need to face?

Don't try and skip the lessons or skip the steps. Remind yourself of your goal. Write out the plan. And lean into the bits you probably want to avoid!

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:

• The process of writing a book and book proposal
• How to create deadlines you can't wriggle out of and why this is so important
• Different ways you can use 'frameworks' to breakdown the work and develop your ideas

I'm also covering context for the book including:

• How I managed to change my subconscious programming on debt and abundance
• How I started the 'healing' work to change my life
• What it truly means to change I hope you enjoy!

If you'd like to join the waiting list for the book and follow this journey, you can find the details here: https://lisa-bean.com/books/am-i-healing/

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!

If right now you’re struggling to get the results you want, but you’re ready to make a change and take your life and business to the next level in 2024, listen in.

In this episode, I'm going to share with you five of the most transformational and eye-opening things I’ve ever learned about changing your life, with a focus on growing an online business (because the rules are so different in online business!)

Yes, you’ll hear things that are hopeful and inspiring, but I also have to pepper this with the reality of what it actually takes to change who you are, change your life, and change the results you're getting.

Here’s what I talk about:

• The result you’re currently getting is fair, even if you’re not happy with it
• Why we feel too busy to create content, when content IS the job
• Short-term pleasure vs. long-term satisfaction and why we go for the former 9 out of 10 times
• Building the capacity to do difficult things in your business doesn’t happen at your desk
• If you want to get different results, you have to change who you are; and there’s two versions of us that you don’t hear about often. I’ve made two other episodes about this last point:

#15 Find the Subconscious Block That’s Hiding in Plain Sight (Part 1)

#18 How to Change Your Subconscious Beliefs: 3 Surprising Keys (Part 2)

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:

• My definition of burnout and the underlying causes of it
• How to assess your skill set, capacity and energy levels in relation to what you want to achieve
• A sensibly stupid goal - what’s that?
• Where to get the real feedback on the effort you’re putting in
• The order of events - how to make yourself safe before you stretch too thin
• Never forget that entrepreneurship is SELLING the stuff you’re making
• Why you must learn which activities make your brain switch off

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.

So you want to change your life, but recognise you have subconscious beliefs or subconscious programming that is keeping you stuck in old patterns and behaviours. So what do you do and where do you begin?

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!

The truth about content creation, how long it takes, and why this investment is worthwhile! (This is take five, doh!)

The three very specific things that make up your profile as an online business owner, and how to start leveraging them today!

How to build trust, increase buyer confidence and grow your business.

How to use modern media to increase your 'range' / reach in 2024.

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?

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:

1. Direction
2. Truth
3. Wisdom
4. Insights
5. Hope
6. 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!

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:

• How and why you should be building community now, and how to do that if you're reluctant.
• What you must know before writing a book, and how this will help you build your business too.
• How to put together your book proposal and what publishers really want to see.
• The importance of writing from 'spirit' and joy instead of ego, and how to make that transition.

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.

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:

• Defining true goals: What am I actually trying to do here?
• Defining the path: What is the vehicle that's going to get me there?
• How to know the difference between tactics and long-term strategy
• Safety first: identifying what makes you feel safe
• What it really means being in your power

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.

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:

• How having a timeline helps you sell more
• Back to basics: your offer and your customer
• How to tap into algorithms to help the customer choose you
• How to build a funnel that works without your full presence

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/

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:

• How to finalise your offer and get it in front of your ideal clients
• Creating attraction events to allow people to feel your energy
• How you can refresh and update your current offer

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?

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:

• Try things when there’s no guarantee it will work;
• Put yourself out there and risk failure; and,
• Feel like an imposter and turning up anyway.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

​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! ​

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.

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.

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.

Press play for five key sales activities you can bring into focus today.

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.

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.

View Details

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.

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!

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.

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.

What can you learn about growing and scaling your business online...from going to the gym?? It turns out...quite a lot! For example, I remember being in this SUPER SET with my PT Dario. I stood up from squats (which were BURNNNINGGG) and said "I can't another set like this , it's too hard". Dario put his hands on my shoulders, put me back into a squat and said: "You're not in the next set, you're in this one...21, 22, 22..." And it really changed something in my brain. I mean how often do we worry about what's to come when we're not even there yet?! Haha. Doh! So in this video I'd like to share with you 5 mad things (like that!) I learnt from going to the gym. With a little behind the scenes, and discussions around mental health and anxiety, I think there is something a little special in today's video. I hope you enjoy. Lisa

"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.

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.

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!

Looking back, I feel really lucky that we were able to run this book launch night in February, weeks before the UK went into lockdown. Little did we know, it would be our last live gathering of 2020. Thank goodness we went out in style!

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

• Where the name for the book came from
• What happened when I FIRST saw the book (erm lol!)
• Why coaches NEVER raise their eyebrows
• What Alice tried to take through airport security!!
• How my Grandma made everyone laugh halfway through my live talk!

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!!

Looking to buy a copy of the book? You can find links to Amazon and links to buy a signed copy here - https://daretogrow.co.uk/thebook

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.

In today’s episode, I’m going to share with you:

• What it takes to get a brand new start up off the ground
• How to dramatically speed up the process and increase your chances of start up success
• A way of thinking that leads to more sales, more quickly.

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:

• What role your freebie plays if not 'to generate sales'?
• How to effectively use your freebie in the wider funnel marketing process to actually sell online.
• How to dramatically increase your online sales using a different approach to funnel marketing you might not have considered yet.
• And how to adapt your funnel so it's appropriate and effective in today's world.

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.

The new guide - Stop Faffing Start Scaling - is available now... (and yes, this is a freebie!)

In today’s episode, I talk with meditation teacher and friend Nicky Thackray!

A few years ago Nicky felt burnt out, fed up and hungry for more in life and work. She was trapped in the classic “I earnt great money and had a great career but I wasn’t happy and felt stressed out all the time”.

In today’s honest, funny and heart-warming episode, you will hear:

• How Nicky went from being a meditation sceptic to full time meditation teacher… online!
• What it really takes to make the big changes in life and go out on your own as a business owner.
• The truth about ‘getting back into alignment’ in life and work.
• What Nicky did to take radical responsibility for her own happiness.

Plus Nicky shares two fab exercises you can try today to reduce stress, get back in control and prepare for those major life changes ahead! I use both of them!

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.

Look. Being in business is bloomin' hard work. I know! I've been in business for over ten years through ups and downs, recessions and pandemics and there is a reason I've been able to adapt and evolve in major ways to keep on growing.

In today's episode, I want to share with you six harsh but necessary truths about running an online business and making sales online. These are things I've said to my own clients in my business scale up school - Expansion Business School - to help them dramatically accelerate their journey to six figures in their business.

I hope you get a lot of value from this podcast. I'd love to hear in the comments what your biggest insight or take away has been!

Thanks for listening.

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:

• How to become more confident in sales
• How to develop a sales mindset and sell to people who want to buy
• How to approach your next sale for better results!
• What to do when sales go wrong!

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!
