Frameworks are having a moment on Instagram. Every creator has a signature five step method, a proprietary process, a named formula. And as someone who teaches business owners how to build their own IP, I love it.
But I need to talk about the cost of getting this wrong.
I recently reviewed a mentee's brand new sales page. She has decades of experience in her field. She is a genuine expert. And her sales page read like she had swallowed a copywriting textbook. The magic was gone. Her voice was gone. The oomph was gone.
This is happening more and more. Women losing themselves in an attempt to "do it right". Rigid, formula led sales pages. Cookie cutter webinars. Instagram captions that could have been written by anyone.
In this episode I share:
This one is for the coaches, the course creators, the practitioners and the creatives who want to launch and lead with clarity.

I don't talk enough about this, and it is time I did.
So many of the women in this community right now, incredibly bright, capable, successful women, are quietly feeling flat. Exhausted. Confused about what is next. They are in a new season of motherhood, womanhood, or business, and the old version of their life does not quite fit anymore.
In this episode, I want to give real air time to the in between season. The season where you have come to clarity about what you no longer want to do or who you no longer want to be, but you are not yet sure what is next.
I share the conversation I had in Bali this week with a friend who just closed her business (and why my first response to her was congratulations). I talk about how I have reinvented myself over 11 years of business, the time I cut 11 revenue streams in one go, and why I do not believe the version of me today is the version I will be forever.
We talk about why change feels scary, why you cannot build an extraordinary life thinking in a mediocre way, and why the season you feel least worthy of investing in support is actually the season you need it the most.
This is a podcast and community for freedom makers. The number one thing keeping us stuck from freedom is ourselves.

Nakita Attard Vassallo is an author, the founder of The Mama Manual and the creator of the Freezer Meals Club. She has been inside Freedom Filled® Business Mentorship for two years, and watching her grow has been one of my favourite things to witness.
In this episode we talk about Nakita's nine year journey of building a business online, her very first webinar launch, and the 93% to 96% retention rate her membership holds (yes, really).
We also unpack the F.R.E.S.H FRAMEWORK®, what living a life you are genuinely proud of actually looks like in real life, and what a Freedom Filled® business gets to feel like when you design it for yourself.
If you are a coach, course creator, practitioner, creative or digital service provider who is helping people but has not yet built something scalable, this one is your nudge. The system exists. The support exists. You just have to be willing to begin.

I had an $800,000 revenue launch and I did not tell anyone about it. I felt like a knob. I thought about the people in my world who would take ten years, or a lifetime, to make that kind of number, and I stayed quiet. I am not staying quiet anymore, because the how of that launch is exactly what you need to hear.
It was a waitlist-only launch. No webinar. No masterclass. No challenge. No endless reels. Just a curated list of right-fit women who raised their hand long before the doors opened.
In this episode I am walking you through the shift almost no one is making. Your waitlist is not a holding pen. It is not a notification setting. It is an offer, with its own promise, its own positioning, and its own promotional energy.
You will hear the mistake I see brilliant women make on Instagram every launch season, the one honest question you need to answer before you promote your list, and the real incentives that turn a passive list into a warm room ready to say yes.
I share what the waitlist tells you about your pricing, your messaging, and your bonuses long before you write your sales page. And I share why the businesses growing the fastest right now are not the loudest ones.
This is for coaches, course creators, practitioners, creatives, and digital service providers who are ready to launch smarter, not louder.

What happens when a brilliant 1:1 coach realises she is booked out, capped, and ready for a different way to build?
This week I am talking to Claire Abbott, a competition coach for pole dancing athletes based in Perth, with 15 years in the sport. Claire helps her athletes train, perform, and win, working on structure, musicality, mindset, and stage presence.
But this conversation is not really about pole sports.
It is about coaching.
It is about the quiet ceiling that hits every brilliant 1:1 coach, practitioner, or creative eventually. The fully booked diary. The capped income. The impact that cannot grow past your calendar.
Claire and I unpack how she made the decision to take what she does best online, build a one-to-many container that still feels personal, and step into a more Freedom Filled® way of running her business.
If you are a coach, a course creator, a practitioner, or a creative who is brilliant at what you do and ready to scale your impact without burning out, this one is for you.

There is a version of "being authentic" on social media that is quietly costing women business owners their sales, their authority, and their ability to lead their community well.
And almost no one is naming it.
In this episode, I unpack the difference between strategic storytelling that serves your audience and the kind of oversharing that just serves you. I share the 2016 season where authenticity became my word of the year, the Brene Brown moment that cracked me open, and my own honest confessions about the vulnerability hangovers I have had along the way.
I lean on two of my favourite teachers, Dale Carnegie's 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' and Arnold Schwarzenegger's 'Be Useful', to show you why your audience is not following you for your problems, they are following you for theirs.
Then I walk you through the exact 5-question filter I run every piece of storytelling content through before it goes anywhere near my Instagram, my emails, or my podcast. This is the same checklist my neurodivergent mentees tell me they love, because there is nothing to read between the lines.
If you are a coach, a course creator, a practitioner, a creative or a digital service provider and you have been wondering why kind comments are not turning into customers, this episode is for you.
Take a listen, then come tell me what shifted.

You're not broken. You're not regressing. The pendulum just swung.

You do not need fifty women in your first programme. You need five.
In this episode of The Mums With Hustle® Podcast, Tracy walks you through how to sell your first online programme to five right-fit women, the kind of women whose results become the proof that powers everything you launch after this one.
Most coaches, practitioners, and creatives sabotage their first launch by aiming for numbers that create pressure, then overwhelm, then a launch so diluted nobody notices. The fix is not a bigger audience. The fix is sharper messaging and a smaller, more intentional target.
Inside, Tracy shares:
If you have been sitting on a programme idea and freezing every time you think about filling it, this is the episode that gets you moving.

You are showing up. The engagement is fine. People tell you they love your content.
So why is your inbox so quiet 🦗, and why are the inquiries you do get from people who cannot afford you or are not ready?
In this episode of The Mums With Hustle® Podcast, I am pushing back on the most overused piece of advice in online business: "just be more visible".
Most of you do not have a visibility problem.
You have a translation problem. Your buyer is scrolling past because the words you are using are not the words she uses inside her own head. Being more visible with fuzzy messaging just amplifies the issue.
I walk you through the three signs your messaging is off (and not your visibility), why posting more is the absolute worst response to a messaging gap, and the three jobs your content has to do so your buyer takes action. I also share a story about one of my mentees who shifted just one part of her positioning and watched her programmes start to fill.
This is the foundational work we do inside Freedom Filled® Business Mentorship. Your Million Dollar Message™ becomes the lead domino for everything else: your offers, your launches, your email list, your DMs.
If you have been feeling depleted by showing up with words that are not landing, this one is for you.

What do you do when a past experience is quietly running the show in your beautiful business?
One of my mentees inside the Freedom Filled® Business Mentorship recently came to me wanting to launch a new group programme. But she was stuck in the freeze.
Overthinking. Self doubt. Imposter syndrome. Procrastination that looks productive but moves nothing forward.
Underneath it all was a wound from a previous client who questioned her character and her capability.
In this episode, I coach right through it.
We unpack why the freeze always has an avoided emotion underneath it, why nothing grows from stagnation, and the reframe that finally gets you moving: you cannot stuff up your next move.
I share the brave question we sometimes need to sit with (could the client have been right?), the responsibility we carry to keep upskilling, and why staying in your lane is not just important, it is essential.
I also share why your messaging is 9 times out of 10 the real problem, why putting time pressure on yourself makes you slower, not faster, and how leaders are forged in the hard seasons.
This is for the coaches, course creators, practitioners, creatives, and digital service providers building freedom-filled® businesses.

The numbers are in for 2026, and they are extraordinary. One in three US adults plan to start a business or side hustle in the next twelve months. In Australia, one in four. 65% of aspiring founders say they will use AI to launch. Entrepreneurship is officially the number one wealth-building strategy heading into 2026, outranking saving, investing, and working harder at a traditional job.
In this episode, I sit with what this shift actually means for the women listening. Because when I started over ten years ago, recording podcasts in 30-degree heat with a baby on my hip, building an online business as a mother was taboo. The narrative has changed. And the women quietly building the most sustainable businesses right now are the ones in their 40s and 50s, with wisdom, expertise, and a body of work earned the hard way.
You will hear the story of Selma, a psychologist who joined Freedom Filled® Business Mentorship and sold out her first group programme before she even built it. After three years of feeling stuck, three weeks of clear structure changed everything.
Whether you are a coach, a practitioner, a creative, a teacher, or any kind of expert with a methodology that gets results, this episode is your sign. The market has never been more ready. The cultural permission has never been stronger. And the model to scale your expertise into a freedom-filled® group programme is here.

What if a kids' gratitude worksheet held the key to shifting your entire energy?
Today I'm sharing a lesson I taught my boys during homeschool in Bali. It was simple. Four prompts on a page. But instead of letting them rush through it, I asked them to slow down, to feel it, to bring images and emotion to each answer.
And honestly? I needed it just as much as they did.
In this episode, I walk you through the four gratitude prompts, share real examples from our morning (including a family beach walk that made me emotional), and explain why gratitude is scientifically the highest frequency you can experience.
This isn't about being positive for the sake of it.
It's about recognising that the ordinary moments you're living right now are the ones you once dreamed of.
If you're in a season of frustration, scarcity thinking, or just feeling flat, this episode will help you come back to centre.
I also share how gratitude fits inside my F.R.E.S.H. framework, which is part of Freedom Filled® Business, my year-long mentorship for women building businesses without losing themselves in the process.
Press play. Grab a cuppa. And let's get grateful together.

Instagram changed the rules in April 2026, and the average creator is now down 30% to 50% on their reach. If your content has felt like it is falling on deaf ears, this episode is the explainer you have been waiting for.
In this episode I am breaking down the three concrete changes Instagram has made to the algorithm, who is winning, who is losing, and exactly what to do this week to adapt.
You will learn why comments are now worth 10 times more than likes, why replies are worth 20 times more, why passive watching is now a negative signal even on full-watched reels, and why AI generated content (along with reposts and low effort memes) is being suppressed across the board.
I am walking you through the three types of creators thriving right now: the controversialists, the community builders, and the educators. I will tell you which one is the most sustainable for women building real, freedom-filled® businesses, and which one I am steering my own community toward.
We will also zoom out on the bigger conversation almost no one is having: platform dependency is a business risk. If a single algorithm change can cut your reach by 40% overnight, you do not have a business. You have a tenant agreement.
This is for the coaches, course creators, practitioners, creatives, and digital service providers who want to build something that does not collapse the next time the rules change.

This week I did something that genuinely lit me up. I sat down and reviewed five of my mentees' opt-in pages for their upcoming live webinar launches, and lovely, what I saw stopped me in my tracks. First-time opt-in pages. Converting at 35 to 60%. Not from seasoned marketers or women who've been doing this for years. From women who built their very first opt-in page inside our webinar sprint, and built it right.
And I had this moment sitting back from my screen where I just thought, we have come so far. Not just them. Me too. The way I teach this now, the way this whole experience is designed, there is something quietly powerful happening here. Because talent alone does not produce a 55 or 60% conversion rate on your first attempt. Structure does that. Environment does that. A learning experience that is designed by someone who actually knows how to teach people to do things, not just know things. That is what does it.
In this episode I'm unpacking what is truly behind a high-converting opt-in page, and I promise you, it is not what most people think. I spent 15 years as a teacher and curriculum designer before I ever entered the online space. And when I look at most coaching programs today, I see brilliant people teaching brilliant things with almost no understanding of how to help someone actually do the thing. If you have a group program, a course, a membership, or a mastermind, this one is for you. It is time to step into your next level as a facilitator, not just a content creator.

Hey lovely, it's Tracy.
I want to ask you something and I want you to be really honest with yourself.
When you say "I just prefer one-on-one"... is that actually true?
Or is it what you tell yourself because you don't yet know how to do one-to-many at the standard you hold yourself to?
Because those are two very different things.
In this week's episode of the podcast, I'm sharing a conversation from our recent mastermind retreat that stopped every woman at the table.
I'm talking about why the smartest women I know are learning one-to-many. Why group programs don't dilute transformation, they amplify it. And why your original thinking and lived experience matters more than ever.
If you've been quietly shelving the idea of a course, a membership, or a group program, this one is for you.

Ten days after what felt like the most perfect afternoon at the beach, our 11-year-old son was in surgery.
In this episode, I’m sharing the full story of what happened when a seemingly innocent moment at a Bali beach turned into a serious injury that required surgery.
From the moment he fell onto a sharp piece of wood hidden in the sand, to discovering that fragments of wood were still embedded deep in his leg days later, to sitting beside his hospital bed while he went under anaesthetic.
This episode is deeply personal.
It’s about the fear every parent feels when their child is hurt.
It’s about navigating medical care in a foreign country.
It’s about the privilege of access to healthcare and the gratitude that comes with recognising it.
And it’s about the lessons that moments like this leave behind.

In this episode, Tracy shares a powerful real-life moment from the gym that sparked a deeper conversation about coachability, humility, and what it really takes to grow as an entrepreneur.
When an elite performance coach offered a correction in a group fitness class and the response was “it’s the same thing,” it revealed something many business owners unknowingly struggle with: resistance to being led.
This episode is a reminder that growth requires openness. That mastery demands humility. And that mentorship only works when you are willing to listen, be corrected, and stay teachable, no matter how experienced you are.
If you are building a business, investing in mentors, or positioning yourself as a leader, this conversation will challenge you in the best way.

If you are a woman building a course and a membership - an education-based business - this episode is for you.
Because most digital educators don’t fail from lack of effort.
They fail because they build content instead of curriculum.

Progress requires sequencing.
Retention requires intentional design.

In this episode, I’m answering some of the most commonly asked questions I receive about my health, beauty, and lifestyle.
I share openly about what I eat, how I exercise, my skincare and makeup routines, and the products I genuinely love and use. I also speak honestly about the beauty treatments and injectables I’ve had, because transparency matters to me and I know it matters to you too.
This is very much a girl talk style episode. Nothing is positioned as right or wrong, perfect or complete. It’s simply what I’ve learned so far through my own lived experience, personal research, and guidance from trusted experts.
At 41, I feel incredibly healthy, strong, and confident in my body. And I truly believe that when we feel this way, we show up in our lives, relationships, and work as our best and highest selves. That confidence ripples outward and allows us to create a bigger impact.
I did not go deep into routines in this episode, and that was intentional. Routines are a conversation of their own, and I’d love to know if that’s something you’d like me to explore in a future episode.
I’ll also be sharing a photo of the products I use in an upcoming Instagram post or story, so keep an eye out for that.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode and what resonated most for you. And if you have products you swear by that you think I should try, I’m always open to learning and discovering new things.

Growing a Team: Values > Resumes (and how to actually uncover them)
Most people hire based on what looks impressive.
A polished resume.
A confident interview.
A “perfect” candidate who says all the right things.
But here’s what I’ve learned.
The biggest hires don’t fail because someone lacked skills.
They fail because the values weren’t there.
And the tricky part?
Values don’t show up in the first 10 minutes.
Because if you ask someone:
“What are your values?”
They’ll give you the version they think you want to hear.
So in today’s episode, I’m sharing one of the most powerful hiring questions you can ask, not to get rehearsed answers…
…but to reveal how someone thinks.
✅ Values aren’t what people say
Values are what people do when it’s inconvenient.
When they’re under pressure.
When nobody’s watching.
When there’s a trade-off.
That’s why the secret is asking story-based questions, such as:
🎯 Why these questions work
Because you’re not interviewing their resume.
You’re interviewing their decision-making.
And how someone thinks tells you far more than what they claim to value.
👀 If you’re hiring soon… listen to this first
If you’ve ever hired someone who seemed amazing… and then slowly became the most stressful part of your week…
This episode will help you avoid that.

If you’d asked me 2 years ago whether we’d become a homeschooling family, I would’ve laughed and said, “No way.”
Not because I was against it - but because I couldn’t see how it would actually work for us.
In this episode, I’m sharing the real story behind our decision to homeschool, the fears I had around “getting it wrong,” and the lightbulb moment that changed everything: realising that our family is the framework - just like it is in business.
When I stopped relying on someone else’s structure to feel safe in my business, everything expanded. So I decided to take the same approach to parenting and education… and the results have been incredible.
I take you inside what homeschooling by design looks like for our family right now - from our 8–10am learning rhythm, to immersive, real-world experiences like music lessons, surfing, gardening, cooking, and passion projects - all while running a multi-seven-figure business and protecting our mental and emotional wellbeing.
This episode is for you if:
There’s no one right way - but there is a way that’s right for you.
Let’s talk about designing your life on your own terms.

In this episode, I’m bringing you behind the scenes into a powerful conversation I shared with my 6 and 7 figure mastermind mentees at our recent retreat.
The theme? We’re in the business of helping others win.
This conversation is about belief, both the belief you hold in yourself and the belief you help cultivate in others. Because here’s the truth: you can’t help others believe in themselves if you don’t believe in you.
Inside this session, we’ll unpack:
✨ The deeper reason your business exists (and how remembering this changes everything)
✨ How to build genuine self-belief as a business owner and leader
✨ Why belief is the invisible thread behind every sale, every transformation, and every result
✨ How this plays out in the way you market your offers and serve your clients once they join
This episode will leave you inspired, grounded, and reconnected to the real heart of your work: helping others win.

What happens when a woman who has never run a live launch steps into a year-long Mastermind committed to her growth?
Meet Tess Thompson, one of my Inner Circle Mastermind mentees, who is finishing her first year inside the Mastermind at a completely different level than she started. Tess is the founder of an online Pilates membership designed especially for women over 50 who want to move with ease again. And this year inside the Mastermind, her business has absolutely blossomed.
Before joining, Tess had never launched live. She wasn’t building her email list. Her messaging wasn’t dialled in. And she was carrying the entire weight of her business on her own shoulders.
Fast forward just twelve months in the Mastermind:
Even more inspiring? Tess has created this growth in a way that supports her well-being. As an introverted mum of young children who was recently diagnosed with ADHD, she has found the Inner Circle Mastermind to be not only a catalyst for her business, but also a safe and supportive space for her personal regulation and mental health.
Tess shares openly that even on calls where she doesn’t know what questions to ask, she still walks away with answers, clarity, and the exact next steps. Her momentum has been compounding every single month and it shows.
In this episode, you’ll hear Tess’ story of building a business that fits her life in Mildura, a small Australian town, and how she is designing freedom, joy, and sustainability her way. She no longer has to teach late-night classes. She has reclaimed her evenings, her lifestyle, and her peace, all while growing her revenue.

In this episode, we’re diving into a raw and honest conversation about the invisible gap that keeps so many brilliant women from stepping into their next level. You’ll hear why it’s not just about strategy, tools, or knowing what to do… it’s about how you lead yourself in the moments that matter most.
This is for the female founder who knows she was made for more but keeps feeling stuck at the same income ceiling, attracting the same clients, or looping in the same habits. The gap between what you say you want and how you actually show up for yourself is where your next level is hiding.
If you’ve ever:
What We Cover in This Episode:
✔️ The “good girl” conditioning that keeps women stuck in a cycle of playing small
✔️ How to spot the gap between who you say you are and who you actually lead yourself to be
✔️ Real-life examples female founders experience daily - from pricing to networking, boundaries to visibility
✔️ Why waiting to “feel ready” is costing you momentum, money, and mission impact
✔️ How radical self-leadership collapses timelines and propels you into your next level
✔️ Journal prompts and self-reflection questions to close the gap and embody your highest potential
Key Takeaway:
Your next level doesn’t come from saying the right things. It comes from leading yourself in alignment with the woman you claim to be - especially when it’s hard, stretchy, or inconvenient.

✅ A fresh perspective on what true partnership in life and business actually looks like for us and why you might want to stop leaving lists too.

In this episode, I share a powerful mindset shift that changed everything for me.
For the first 30 years of my life, I was conditioned to seek perfection, avoid failure, and overthink instead of act. But when I started my entrepreneurial journey, I had to unlearn all of that. It was deeply uncomfortable, but it was the exact discomfort I needed.
I stopped telling myself I had “blocks” that needed to be cleared before I could make progress. Instead, I started to see the problem itself as the path. The fear? It was my compass. The hard thing? It was the only thing that would lead me to growth.
In this raw and honest episode, I’ll walk you through how I changed my relationship with discomfort, why learning by doing has become my mantra, and how you can stop outsourcing your power to books, gurus, or blocks and start taking imperfect, courageous action instead.
If you’ve ever waited until you felt ready, this episode is for you.
With love,

In our conversation, I also open up about the moment my business journey began. I had just returned to work after my first baby and was met with a deeply unjust experience. I knew I could not stay so I resigned, walked away, and decided to begin again as a digital entrepreneur. No business background. No mentor. Just my iPhone, my son, and a fierce desire to create something of my own.
I've learned that I needed an audience so I used what I had and decided to master Instagram. I wrote captions during breastfeeds and I listened to podcasts and did online courses while I walked the pram. I used my voice to build an aligned community and create a freedom filled business.

LISTEN NOW
This question is actually one of my frequently asked questions via email. The question about balancing personal with professional/business content is one that has been asked over the years more times than I can count.
And what stops people from humanising their brand presence on Instagram is extensive.

Listen to this episode to learn:
How to decide what to share and what not to shareHow to humanise your brand without compromising on boundariesWhy you need to be showing your face (the real reason, and how not doing so is costing you sales)How to know if you’re coming across as too sales-y, and how to change that quickly
Regardless of your reason for struggling to show up.... You do need to get to a place where you’re feeling comfortable and confident to do so with ease.

MWH 332: 5 Instagram Growth Strategies
In this first part of 2-part Instagram marketing series, we’re going to talk about 5 Instagram growth strategies!
LISTEN NOW
Download this Progress Sheet that supports you in implementing this episode!
We’re constantly bombarded with messages that tell us that we need... More. We need to be doing more, we need to be posting more. No wonder that people are feeling that they are behind, that they’re falling short and achieving less.
I hear this from a lot of women every single day - the constant feeling of “not enough.” And I know it’s constantly draining and it puts us in negative spiral and mindset.
But it is necessary to climb out of this “lack mindset” if we want to grow our business and if we want to show up on Instagram for our audience. We need to shift our attention into having an “abundant mindset” that has you believing that you are already enough.
I want you to operate from this space. You have enough... Actually, I’m going to say that you have limitless opportunity and potential to connect, to grow a business, and have an impact.
What would this shift in belief, mindset and identity do when you show up on Instagram? So ladies, I want you to use these 5 things when you set out to use Instagram as a core part of your digital marketing strategy.
Until next week, stay happy in your hustle.

MWH 320 : How to sell with less words with Gabi Haberer
In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how to sell with less words!
LISTEN NOW
Even if you don’t consider yourself as a writer, you’re still writing.
When you show up for your audience on Instagram and write a caption to your post, you’re writing. If you’re making Instagram reels, you’re using words. When you write an email, a sales page or a product description... you are using words.
And it’s important that we all know how to sell with less words.
In this episode, we’re diving deep into messaging and copywriting. Joining me in this conversation is one of my Inner Circle Mastermind ladies, Gabi Haberer!
Gabi serves women-owned brands by writing the right words on their websites so that women feel confident in their brand's message and are able to attract and connect with their right-fit-clients.
A conversion copywriter and StoryBrand Certified Guide, she helps women cut through the online noise with the words they use so that their brand gets noticed and opens hearts (and so do wallets).
Ladies, you’ll get loads of copywriting tips on this one!
Gabi also shares emerging marketing trends when it comes to how you should be speaking to your audience when communicating your offer.
If you loved this episode, leave me a 5-star review on iTunes so this podcast becomes more discoverable for people like yourself! Our mission at tracyharris.co is to help more mums become 6- and 7-figure business owners while keeping their time and values intact.

MWH 306: 3 of my business mistakes (and what they taught me)
In this week’s episode, I speak openly about the following so that it helps you to see that you’re not alone. I'm sharing with you 3 of my business mistakes. We all have struggles in business and everything is a beautiful opportunity to build our character, our resilience muscle and bring us clarity.

I struggled to let someone go even when I knew I should have.Being too attached to launches affected my happiness.To cope in your launch when things break (and they will break)!

MWH 305: How I plan my work week
On this week’s episode, I’m going to share with you how I plan my work week!
LISTEN NOW
Listen to this episode to learn:
What do my work days look like?What do I do on each work day?How I went from 28 hour weeks to 20 hour weeks in a pandemic year.What is FIIT and how do I use it to grow my leadership and business?
Scaling a business to me is about “How can I increase revenue in my business to make more money without costing me more time?” Even decreasing the amount of my work time.
That’s what success means to me.
Success to you might mean different things. Sometimes it means more revenue or streamlining things in your business so you’ve got more time...
It’s okay if you work week looks different. Don’t get caught up on comparing with others’ work week, it’s different for all of us. There’s no right or wrong. Some people are early birds, whilst other people are night owls.
It’s about honoring you - your style and your energy - and also, taking into consideration what’s happening in your life.
When you take a look into your work week, I want you to do it without judgment.
On this note, I’d love to hear from you and see how your work week looks like. If you’re in the Social Method Society, feel free to a post on the wall and share!
After you listen to this episode, share a photo or video and tag me on Instagram @mumswithhustle and come and say hi! I love sharing who is listening on the podcast.

MWH 304: How long should I be spending on Instagram each day?
On this week’s podcast episode, I’m going to answer a question from my Mums With Hustle community which is “How long should I be spending on Instagram each day?”
LISTEN NOW
Here’s the truth: your ability to make revenue from your Instagram presence is NOT dependent on how long you spend marketing your business on Instagram.
It’s not about the amount of time or the number of your Instagram posts, Reels or IG Lives...
It’s about your ability to use Instagram intentionally, to build an audience, and have them go from being a follower to becoming a customer.
Here are some questions to guide you:
How can you use Instagram intentionally to grow your business?What role does Instagram play on your online marketing ecosystem?
I’d very much love to hear your answer to these questions. Send me a DM on Instagram @mumswithhustle or email me at hello@mumswithhustle.com!
Also, I do recommend that you do an Instagram action daily. Action does not necessarily mean creating or posting content, it’s about you being engaged with your audience.
Members inside of the Social Method Society know this because each month, we create them an intentional Instagram Content Strategy Calendar.
This calendar has daily prompts / actions for our members to take that sees them intentionally marketing and growing their business with Instagram.
If you find that you’re showing up on Instagram inconsistently or you’re not sure of what to post, I’d love to support you with education and training on how to use Instagram as a business owner (which is very different to how we use Instagram as a general user).
Head over to www.socialmethodsociety.com and pop your name on the waitlist! I’d love to welcome you into our community and be your mentor, your cheerleader and your support system in growing your beautiful business and achieving your own Life By Design.

MWH 296: It’s my business birthday! 6 years, 6 lessons learned
On September, 6 years ago, the very first iteration of my business went live. This week’s episode is a very special one as I’m celebrating my business birthday!
LISTEN NOW
Looking back, so much has happened but at the same time, it also feels like yesterday. All the milestones, highs, lows, accomplishments, the wonderful people, friends, mentors, students, and clients I’ve had throughout the years... shoutout to you!
I think it’s easy to start a business but it’s not an easy feat to keep going.
Having your own business can bring up your weak spots, insecurities, knowledge gaps in your skills and expertise, the fear and the vulnerability. So I hope when you reach the milestone of your business anniversary (I call it business birthday), I hope you celebrate it!
In this episode, I’m sharing 6 lessons learned in my 6 years in the business (in no particular order):
Learning about the enneagram (knowing my type and the other types).I enjoy having a team (love them to bits!).To embrace slow progress.“If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.”To deeply value and practice self-care in a consistent basis.To find yourself a mentor and a community of like-minded peers.
I encourage you to do this reflection and practice for your own business: What are the 6 lessons for you?
Don’t overthink them and don’t over-rationalise them. Write down the first 6 things that come to mind, whether they are big or small.
I also want to thank each and everyone of you who listened to this episode or any of the Mums With Hustle podcast episode! I love this community so much. We are Australia’s leading and longest-standing community for mums building business from home. I love that you’re here.

MWH 291 : tracyharris.co - Behind the scenes of my brand’s makeover (the fear and the excitement)
It’s the day of the big reveal! My brand has undergone a makeover and I’m so excited to share with you what I’ve been working on for over a year... It’s with great pleasure that I introduce you to my new online home: tracyharris.co!
In this episode, I’m going to take you behind the scenes and explain the fear, the excitement and the why. I’m also going to be sharing a special invitation with you.
LISTEN NOW
What I’ve learnt over the passed 6 years is that your brand is so much more than what it looks like visually. Your brand is how you make other people feel. It’s how your audience describes you and the impact you have.
As this business has grown, matured and taken shape, the time just felt right to give it a fresh aesthetic and language re-vamp that best serves YOU and communicates what we do and plan to do as we grow into the future.
tracyharris.co
Yup, it’s a personal brand (cue the nervous feelings). My humble business beginnings saw me start this podcast, the Mums With Hustle podcast. At the time I just took it as my business name too. When I started my business, I was afraid to be seen. So I hid, subconsciously, behind my brand.
Why the name change?
I feel like it’s reflective of where we at now, but more importantly, the future vision and where we are headed as a company.
So here I am.
This is me.
I am Tracy Harris.
That is my name and I am a proud digital entrepreneur dedicated to serving mums in business who want to create their life by design through their business. Mums who want to leverage the power of Instagram to attract more clients and customers. I also work closely with women who want to create a digital business through online courses, memberships and high ticket programs themselves, and who want to develop themselves as leaders in their businesses and in their life.
(Looking for more Branding and Design ideas? Check these blog posts here.)
Ladies, I highly encourage you to check the new website www.tracyharris.co as we have freebies, courses and a fun quiz! We also prepared a Scavenger Hunt for you!
Here are the prizes:
I’m giving away one year membership to my Social Method Society® to one lucky winner. That’s 12 months of getting Instagram Content & Strategy Calendar, 12 months of Q&A’s with me, 12 months of access to all of our resources, masterclasses, and collaborative and supportive network of other women in business.There will also be 3 runners-up that will get one month free membership each.
So look for these 5 things on the website: a dolphin, a John Mayer GIF, a secret launch, a special video message from me and our latest podcast.
Take a screenshot of each item, tag me in an IG Story @mumswithhustle or send it to me via email at hello@mumswithhustle.com. You can also go to my free Facebook group Mums With Hustle Biz Club and post the photo there. Be sure to tag me!

MWH 288: “Instagram is no longer a photo-sharing app” What This Really Means For Business Owners And Influencers
This week’s episode is going to touch on a very trending topic, which is that latest announcement by Instagram: “Instagram is no longer a photo-sharing app.”I’m going to share my take on what this really means and how this announcement affects you as a business owner, whether you are a soloprenuer or a company.
LISTEN NOW
Instagram did not say that they’re getting rid of in-feed posts or the ability to share photos in the app. But what did they come out and say is that they’re putting more focus on videos.I’ve shared this to my community here in Mums With Hustle and with the members of my Social Method Society... and what I want to highlight in this episode is that Instagram has been moving in this direction for years.Out of the five ways to share content on Instagram ecosystem, four of them are video-based:
In-feed posts (photos)Instagram Stories (video)Instagram Live (video)IGTV (video)Instagram Reels (video)
Aside from highlighting video contents, Instagram also shared key areas they will be focusing on going forward. These include Creators, Instagram Shop and Messaging. So you can expect more features will be rolled out on Instagram.
And if you are someone who feels like brushing up your Instagram skills, or video confidence, or you want to stay current on what’s working on Instagram for your beautiful business...Then I highly encourage you to jump-on the waitlist to my Social Method Society and get yourself an invitation to join us! Head on over socialmethodsociety.com and pop your name down.On Part 2 of this 2-episode Series, I’ll walk you through hashtag news which is another announcement by Instagram that has caused some confusion.“How many hashtag should I use now?” You’ll find out in the next episode.Until next week, stay happy in your hustle.

MWH 287: How To Get Out Of A Creative Slump And Re-ignite Your Momentum
If you ever wondered how to get out of a creative slump and re-ignite your momentum back into your business... Then this episode is for you!
LISTEN NOW
As a business owner, do you feel guilty taking a break or taking some rest?Let’s get one thing clear - your ability, as business owners, to innovate, think creatively, feel inspired is proven to be less when you’re always ON.You need SPACE.You need white space in order to feel restored, refreshed, rejuvenated, and to have those moments where you can think strategically, be creative, feel inspired and of course, to have good business mojo.That intentional thinking time is so important. I’d go as far as to say it’s actually necessary for business owners, especially as your business grows and you move into that scaling phase.Because here’s the truth: When you rest, it is good for your business.Taking time to rest is also going to have you design your business in a way where it can operate without you. This might mean automating some things. Here are 5 Automations For Your Business (Even If You Aren’t Techie).What things do you need to have in place so that you CAN take time off from your business?That’s a question worth pondering right there.Let me know your answer by sending me a direct message on Instagram @mumswithhustle or comment on one of my posts! You can also email me at hello@mumswithhustle.com.Until next week, stay happy in your hustle.

MWH 286 : “I sent a gift to an influencer and they didn’t respond at all. What do I do now?”
On this week’s podcast, I’m going to answer a question from one of the beautiful members of my Social Method Society: “I sent a gift to an influencer and they didn’t respond at all. What do I do now?”
LISTEN NOW
The law of reciprocity is that they will want to thank you or share it with their audience or do something in return. But when someone doesn’t respond in this way it can make you feel... confused and also let down.Girlfriend, know that if an influencer did not acknowledge your gift, it could be because of various reasons such as:- Maybe they never received it;- Or maybe they did receive it and meant to thank you but they forgot.- Maybe they feel uncomfortable acknowledging the gift because they fear the expectation that they have to give you a shout out or share it but they can’t or don’t want to.
(Looking for gift ideas for your next virtual event? Read here>>>)
If this ever happens to you, I hope you don’t choose to let how you feel in this situation dictate what your relationship looks like with an influencer beyond this point.I also hope that this one experience doesn’t prevent you from ever gifting things to others.The world needs more kindness and not less. The world need more random gifts without expectations and gifts that come from a place of love.Until next week, stay happy in your hustle.

Six months into the business, I decided that if I’m going to have any product or offer to sell, I needed to stop working IN the business and I have to start working ON the business. I realised I needed help, so I hired a virtual assistant.

There’s a lot less fear about having contractors and virtual assistants work from their locations and be part of someone’s business team. Which is so exciting!When you’re open to that, amazing things happen.Girlfriend, there’s nothing to fear when you hire a contractor or a virtual assistant and have them work in remote capacity. There are some incredible tools to help you do that.So grab a pen and a paper, and check out these very helpful communication tools!

Believe those negative thoughts which then dictate what your next actions become, or;2. You can choose to ignore them and move forward.(Find your Word Of The Year by following this process.

In this episode, we are going to talk about:
How to grow your product-based business using InstagramHow to work through that fear of visibility and embrace vulnerability in marketingWhy it really is important for your own confidence and resilience that you surround yourself with other supportive business women.
The truth is, consumers are becoming more savvy when it comes to supporting businesses and who they're going to give their hard-earned dollars to. People want to know who is behind a brand, especially when it comes to online shopping.When they see you as they go to your Instagram account, it increases the trust in in your brand and within the products and services you provide. When the trust is there, it speeds up their decision-making process.
That’s why it’s super duper important that we get really comfortable showing up and humanizing our brands, not just in 2021 but beyond, as we market our business forward.And if you’re serious with growing your business with Instagram in 2021 and beyond, head-on over at socialmethodsociety.com!The Social Method Society is my membership where I help women grow their business through Instagram marketing.

MWH 265 : How To Start Building Your Email List With Instagram
Instagram is not only for growing an audience, building a community and making direct sales from. It’s also a wonderful place for building your email list with high quality leads!Today, on the podcast, I’m going to be sharing 3 tips to grow your email list using Instagram traffic intentionally, with persistent consistency.
LISTEN NOW
Ladies, growing your email list with Instagram traffic is important because not everyone on Instagram is in a “ready to buy” phase in their customer journey. It’s your job, as the business owner / marketer, to move these people along.
(Read here: 3 Simple Instagram Growth Tips From Established Business Owners.)
Remember that we don’t really own our Instagram accounts, hence, we don’t own our social media following but we do own our email list.Even if social media platforms change, or in instances that your social media accounts are shut down (for various reasons), or your followers move to another platform, you still have your email list. The beauty of it is you can stay in communication with your customers... Quite often, it’s in a much deeper and more intimate way.On this note, my number one strategy for building my email list is through Instagram Stories!
And if you haven’t already got it, I created a FREE resource, Instagram Stories Strategy Pack. It actually walks you through the strategy I used to make $2000 from a single Instagram Story and got me over 80 perfect people on my email list. It’s super popular and has been downloaded over 10,000x! My loves, head on over to mumswithhustle.com/stories to check and grab this free resource now.Until next week! Stay happy in your hustle.

MWH 262 : Our Family’s End-of-Year Gratitude Practice
It’s the last episode of 2020! In this episode, we are going to talk about reflecting. Reflecting on the year that was, and tapping right into gratitude practice... I’m so thrilled that you are listening to this episode as I’m actually going to have a co-host. Someone who is super special to me.
LISTEN NOW!
I'm joined by my eldest son, Ethan! We’re sharing the things we are grateful for this year despite the challenges and also, some of our wins. I know it’s been a really challenging year (to say the least), but there is still something to be grateful for. It is really important that as we approach the end of the year, we’re not approaching it from that sense of, “I can’t wait for 2020 to be over, bring on 2021!”We should count our blessings more than we count our problems... and the end of the year is a really special time to do that.We’re a huge fan of doing this together as a family. Karl and I always did this practice together and now that we have children, we do this gratitude practice with them as well.Always thinking about what we are grateful for is part of having a growth mindset. We believe that it’s important to start it a really young age, to be able to look back, think reflectively and analyse how far you’ve come.So I encourage you to carve out some time and share what you are most grateful for. Get a piece of paper, a pen or pencil, and write down a list of things that you are thankful for.
Goal Setting For 2021
Planning for 2021? Listen to my number one planning tip for a balanced success here. If one of your goals for next year is to increase your target revenue, here’s how you can make more by doing less.If you have a business and you want to have a place of learning and community, I highly encourage you to head on over to socialmethodsociety.com and join our waitlist.

MWH 260 : Make More By Doing Less
We’re almost at the end of calendar year and for a lot of us business owners, we are looking back reflectively at the year we’ve just had. I want to bring this episode to you cause it’s important that when you go about planning for the new year, it’s necessary to know that you can actually make more by doing less.What I want this share with you in this episode is about looking forward, and with it, comes planning new goals in your business. We’ve started talking about this inside of my Inner Circle Mastermind and with the ladies in my Social Method Society.
LISTEN NOW!
A lot of us tend to think that the way to make more revenue in our business is to take more on... Take on more clients, take on more stocks. But what I encourage you to do is slow down and think about, “How can I make more revenue without necessarily doing more in business? Without adding another layer of complexity or without adding another product?”(How to find “time” when you think you have none? Read here>>>)There’s another way to grow your business and that is slowing down and really dialing in what you’ve got in place. This is how business owners make more revenue by actually doing less.Girlfriend, take a pen and a paper when you listen to this episode as this is very helpful for the upcoming year ahead! Then let me know your biggest takeaway by tagging me at Instagram @mumswithhustle or send me a DM. I’d love to hear from you.Until next week, stay happy in your hustle!

MWH 256 : 300 Followers And A Booked-Out Business with Kara Lehmann
I don’t know about you, but I love myself a good pivot story! When someone takes one set of skills, knowledge, expertise or experience from one kind of situation or one type of profession and repackages it to completely doing something brand-new. That brand-new thing is creating a new booked-out business!I love it when people take something that wasn’t previously online to then creating an online business or online way of serving through a new business. So cool!That’s exactly what we’re chatting about in the podcast today.
LISTEN NOW!
I’ve invited Kara Lehmann over on the Mums with Hustle podcast to share with us the pivot she did in her business. She’s the owner of Beauty Boss VA and a member of my Social Method Society. Her online business is quite new. She started around March this year, at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.She’s here today to share how she’s started a new way of serving her audience.
A Booked-out Business
Kara is a mum of 3 and she has spent the last 16 years in the beauty industry, navigating the salon business on her own. After her youngest child was born, she realised that returning to work in the salon environment was really not what she wanted to do anymore. It wasn’t serving her and it wasn’t serving her family. She then decided to create Beauty Boss VA.Kara’s truly one powerhouse of resilience! She’s a living example that the number of your Instagram followers doesn’t matter as long as you have your soulmate followers - your ideal audience.
Read Here: How To Attract Your Dream Clients And Customers On Instagram >>>Through the years, she learnt what it meant to truly never give up, no matter what. She’s now killing it in her business with her mission to help more women train as virtual assistants, so like her, they can also work in the industry that they love.Girlfriend, I’d love to hear your biggest takeaway on this episode!

MWH 248 : Blending Motherhood and Business with Marcia Leone
This week, I’m joined by the incredible Marcia Leone from Not So Mumsy and CEO of the Not So Mumsy, The Label. She’s an author, a mother and a wife. Marcia is also an influencer, a content creator, and a personal brand. She’s here to share her experience of juggling motherhood and building a business.
LISTEN NOW!
In this episode, Marcia will dive on how it all began for her on Instagram and how marketing has changed on Instagram over the years. She also shares her own experience about motherhood, mum guilt, self-doubt and comparison syndrome. More importantly, how she’s been able to move through that. She shares these insights with a hope to inspire more mums in business to pursue their own business dreams and to never give up!We can definitely get caught up comparing our journey, expertise or product to the next lady out there. But it’s honestly not serving us and it doesn’t lead to growth or anything good. The more transparent we are in leading our business, the more helpful we are to the next lady who’s also doing her business.
Motherhood, Business and Abundance Mindset
Ladies, let’s have an abundance mindset and let’s fully believe in ourselves and our abilities. Don’t let the success of others mean that there is less success to go around for you. When you tap into that abundance mindset, we can see greater opportunities open up for us. Remember, collaboration over competition. We can all grow so much more when we grow together rather than when we go at it alone.I know you’re gonna love this episode so... and if you do, I’d really appreciate if you can leave me a 5-star review on Itunes. It would mean the world to me! It also means that the podcast will be more accessible to more women who need these contents and support at this time.On another note, I want to express how grateful I am for all the support, listens, and shares of the Mums With Hustle podcast. I received so many positive feedback on the last week’s episode about money mindset and the episode before it, which was all about the mental load we carry as a mum in business.Thank you so much, my love. Until next week, stay happy in your hustle.

“Is it the pandemic?” “Is it that time of year?” “Where are my people?” “Are my audience trying to juggle so many things out once?” “Is it my product?” “Is it just my business?”
Then this episode is for you.Today, I’m taking you through some online marketing strategies that are working right NOW. In particular, I'm sharing what mums are doing as business owners as they take their business to new heights despite the global pandemic.

I’m gonna share with you 3 of the top online marketing strategies you can use to grow your business in this current climate.
I’m also gonna give examples of business owners that are doing these strategies. Some of them are in the business for only some months (when the pandemic started) while others have been going for many years.Regardless of where you are right at this moment, you will be able to relate to at least one of the businesses that I’m sharing with you... so you can use it to your business and go further forward.Resilience, Solutions-Focused and Innovative - these qualities separate those who are successful from those who give-up.Girlfriend, successful business owners are not making decisions based on fear, and they are certainly not making decisions based on their current circumstances. Successful entrepreneurs are future-focused.So if you’re a mum in business, or a mum who’s looking to turn her hobby into a business, or a mum who wants to get serious in turning her business into new heights...

MWH 237 : Boobs, Babies and Business - Why You Should Be Unapologetic As A Mum in Business with Pinky McKay
Can you believe that we’re halfway through 2020? What a year it’s proving to be. The beginning of this year has been crazy so far but one thing has remained true - we’re all still showing up, we’re serving our audiences, we’re contributing to our households and to our economies, we’re building business and we are uplifting one another in the process.I just want to say if you have been one of the many lovely ladies who has left us a five star review on iTunes then, thank you so much!Podcast reviews are super important to iTunes. The more reviews we receive the more likely iTunes will reward us with better reach so we can continue to empower incredible women in business and serve them so that they are able to design a life and business they love.While we’re on the topic of podcast reviews, there’s one review I want to share today from Westborough Wicks.They wrote, “Tracy’s podcasts are so incredibly inspiring, informative and engaging! The topics and speakers are so varied yet relevant and perfect for us mums who are juggling so much in this blessed life we’ve been given. Love how Tracy summarizes the key points at the end of the podcasts. I’ll definitely be following these podcasts regularly and hope to support other like-minded moms in our collective journeys!”Thank you SO much for this five star review. I really do appreciate it, and it’s so true! We as mothers and entrepreneurs may be juggling a lot but we can still grow a REAL sustainable business.And that’s what this week’s guest wants to share with you during this episode. You’ll probably will recognize her because she is one of Australia’s most respected and recognised breastfeeding and early parenting experts.Let’s get into it!
About Pinky McKay
Pinky McKay is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and best-selling author of four titles, with more than 300,000 followers on social media. She specializes in gentle parenting styles that honour mothers’ natural instincts to respond to their babies. To put it simply, her expertise is babies and boobs!During this episode, we’re going to dive into all things motherhood and business because Pinky is a fierce and fearless female entrepreneur herself.
Advocate For Breastfeeding
Pinky is a mum of five. She grew up in New Zealand but moved to Melbourne when she got married. She had been a nurse and knew about breastfeeding but back in 1970s, only few people were breastfeeding. Lots of women back then were formula feeding.A midwife gave her a book titled “The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding” and it was when everything started for her.She found out that what works best for her and her baby when it comes to breastfeeding, depends on her own personal experience.
How She Started Her Business Around Breastfeeding
Pinky shared that it’s important for mums to find a support system. When she found hers, it impacted the way she works with mothers in her own business. She strongly believes that all mothers need love, kindness and acceptance wherever they are at.When she was homeschooling her 4 older children, Pinky pivoted from nursing to advertising, copywriting and writing for magazines. About 10 years ago, she then went to an international workshop to train on how to be a coach. This was where it all started. She then branches out to tele-seminars and webinars.More recently, she found that lactation consultant in private practice lacks in Australia so she set-up a coaching group.Pinky shared that lactation consultants have to pass a stringent international exam and re-certify every 5 years - it can take less or longer to become one, depending on pathways / previous experience / study. Pinky said that people have to put so much time and money into it, but there isn’t a lot of support for them to do private practice.

Create Space For Gratitude
Silke recorded this one with me whilst we were all right in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic. However, this practice can easily be applied anytime and in any situation that comes up for you.As you listen to this workshop, make sure to allow it ALL in. This is very important because many times we think that we should have it all together and we should always be brave, but we’re doing ourselves a disservice when we think this way.
Silke’s important reminder is to:
“Give yourself permission for grace. Give yourself permission to breathe for a moment and to touch your own heart. Allow vulnerability in. Allow all feelings that are there to surface. Because you are here in a physical form, you are in this body and you’re experiencing it.”
It is also important to note that many people around you maybe experiencing negativity too. It’s not only you in your own bubble, you are being influenced by people and the world. You are going to be touched because that is what it means to be a human.We’ve all gone through many things in our life and the worst thing that we can do is stuff down our emotions. As a healer, Silke shares that this is where any illness or disease in the body comes from.So if you take anything away from this workshop, let it be that you’re doing the best you can in the situation that you have. also know, that you do have the power to transform your state of being even when everything arou...
MWH Podcast 235 : Ways To Stand Up Against Racism, As A Mother And As A Business Owner
It’s been a really difficult couple of weeks. It’s been heavy and infuriating. It has been sad and... full of all the feels.As a woman of colour myself, I’ve definitely been confronted by the death of George Floyd and by the response of people.Like so many of you who have been in social media for the past couple of weeks, it’s a confronting, difficult and challenging place to be.But it’s also the place to be if you’re dedicated and courageous enough to use your platform to show up, stand up and to connect. It can truly be a great catalyst for change.I want to bring this episode for you this week because I know that a lot of you are feeling confused about how to respond. You might be angry... or you just want to know how you can speak up.You may be wondering, should you even speak up?
Where Does Change Begin?
My opinion is that change and progress begin in your own heart. You gotta be honest with yourself.Reflect on your own thoughts, behaviour, actions or inactions. And take radical responsibility for that.All change starts on a personal level - in the heart space.Also, it starts in our homes... in the way that we speak, in our parenting, in the conversations we have, in jokes that we make, and even, on the books that we’re reading to our children.If we’re serious about change, progress and doing better, it starts first and foremost within us and within our own homes.
How Can You Respond To What’s Happening?
It can often feel easier to respond by giving money to organisations... and yet, it is more often difficult to have real, raw, open-minded conversations with black, indigenous or a person with colour.I'm not saying, don't give money. That's a beautiful way to make an impact. What I am saying is, we need to bring the same generosity to our conversations and daily interactions. That requires us to truly LISTEN to what BIPOC are saying. To truly listen to what they are saying on a deeper level.It’s natural to want to go into “fixing-mode“ but that can leave so many people feeling helpless. We just have to make sure that when we feel helpless (or afraid of saying the wrong thing) we don’t let this helplessness turn into silence.I don’t have all the answers, I am also aware that I experience privilege daily... But I’m coming to you with a very open heart. I hope that you’ll receive this with an open heart and an open mind as well.Maybe what you hear in this episode is going to help you know how you can best respond to what’s happening. And how you can do better in standing up to injustices, anti-racism, and being united with everybody.
In this episode, I'm going to...
Share a bit about my own experience and background as a woman of colour. Talk about the brain, in particular, your subconscious mind, the role that it plays in being “anti-racist” and what that means for us mothers of young children. Talk about how we can all do better in our businesses because there is a huge societal shift happening.
Let’s get into it!
My Own Experience As A Woman Of Colour
I don’t expect everyone listening to this episode to be aware of my background. Maybe you follow me on Instagram but I don’t expect that you’ve read every single post of mine to know that I was born in South Africa.It was during Apartheid era, a time when white supremacy ruled the country despite the country being made up of a non-white majority.I only lived there for my first five years of life, my parents lived there their entire lives, and my siblings, cousins, grandparents lived there and most still live there.
Formative Years Of Development
Like I said, I was there for first five years of life... and what we’ve come to know about the brain is that these early years are formative years for brain development.I’ve spoken a little bit about brain development here in the podcast before,
MWH 234 : 5 Easy Automations For Your Business (Even If You Aren’t A Techie) with Kiah Worling
Mums With Hustle is a community for women who are balancing their time between setting up their business, growing their business, while also being fully-present mamas. The juggle is what the hustle is! But do you ever find yourself asking, “How do I integrate those things and actually make it work?”Let me tell you that one of the big secret elements to making it work is embracing technology. You need to be open to embracing automation in your business!One of my passions here at Mums With Hustle is helping more women to implement and embrace ease into their lives so that they can grow the business that their heart desires. This is without having to compromise the things they love the most such as family time, their hobbies, self-care, etc.“Ease” was actually my word of the year, last year. I feel that in this episode. It’s going to allow you to embrace more ease while growing your business.Today’s guest describes herself as a bonafide uber-geek and she is a great woman to have this conversation with. Don’t worry! This episode is not full of tech-jargon, so you’re not going to get lost and your eyes will not glaze over.Our guest has a wonderful way of teaching tech, even if you think you are not techie.So, let’s get into it!
About Kiah Worling
Kiah is a digital thought leader and productivity adviser. Her mission is to better the lives of others through the smart use of technology in their business.Kiah knows that your time is so precious and it is better spent on more fulfilling things — things like wowing your customers, being there for your family and pursuing your hobbies. Which is why it is her belief that you don’t need to be weighed down by the clutter and you don’t need to be scared of the tech phobia in your business.With a strong background in tech, in projects and in planning, Kiah unites AI (artificial intelligence) with humanness to advance her clients’ technical prowess and improve their everyday enjoyment of business entrepreneurship.When she’s not on the tools, she’s more likely playing with her beautiful boys, sourcing the freshest ingredients for healthy meals, and savouring every precious drop of one of her most loved wines, or she’s planning her next adventure.Kiah started her business to provide flexibility for her family as she balances mum life and business/work life. She wants to bring her knowledge to mums like her who are starting their business at home and might be struggling, scared or they simply don’t know what they’re doing with tech.
What Is Automation?
I used to fear words like automation and tech, and think, “I’m not techie, I can’t do that.” But I realised that automation doesn’t have to be complicated and it does free you up to give you back more time in your life.According to Kiah, automation (when it comes to business) involves a bunch of tasks that you do on repeat whether it’s everyday, every month or every year. Instead of a human doing these tasks, you plug-in a robot or a tech tool to do the tasks for you.With her clients, Kiah looks into the things that they really want to be spending the most energy and time with — the things that really light them up.She asks them, “If there’s a dream day or a dream week for you, how would you be spending your time and what are the tasks you want to do because they are meaningful and making the most impact?”Then all the other stuff that makes up the business, those can be automated.
Examples of Automations In Business
When someone visits your site, downloads a freebie or signs-up for a free masterclass, as soon as they type-in their email address, it lands in their inbox. Chat bot in Facebook Messenger or other messaging apps that reply to queries whenever business owners cannot do so. For B2B services, automation happens when someone books an appointment through your calendar using an online b...
MWH 233 : Fear Is Not The Boss of You with Jennifer Allwood
A lot of women in business, women in the Mums With Hustle community, are still feeling that things are very weird in the world and in their business... because they are.But that doesn’t mean that now is not a time that is filled with great opportunity. Everything, and I mean everything, always happens for a reason. I am a very big believer of that!You’re not going through this alone. We certainly are all in this together. #MWHStrongIf there’s one thing I know about entrepreneurs and business owners, it’s that they can experience many hard knocks and still get back up each and every time. Just like today’s podcast guest...She has built her business over several years whilst having 4 children. You may have heard of this beautiful lady on the podcast before in Episode 200 where she shared golden nuggets in one of our montage episodes.It’s my dear friend from across the globe, Jennifer Allwood!
About Jennifer
Jennifer is an entrepreneur and business coach to many women inside her membership. She’s an international speaker and recently, a best-selling author. She released her No. 1 best-selling book “Fear Is Not The Boss Of You.”Jen has found freedom in her business, her time, her finances and most importantly, her faith, through years of releasing more and more over to God. And she brings this into her business! What started as a desire to help pull her family out of financial desperation became a calling to help other women find the courage to do the same.Her goal is simple... To use the tools that are readily available such as social media, email, and the internet, as a way to make this happen. Jen knows that getting unstuck, pushing through the overwhelm, and doing things in spite of fear are the keys to growing in any business.
During this episode, she’ll deep dive into this and how much in business is mindset and how much is actually tactical. If you take away any little nugget of information from this episode, I hope that you know, understand and whole-heartedly believe that fear is not the boss of you.Let’s get into it!
Jen’s Inner Circle
Jen is currently coaching around 2,000 women in her membership called The Creators’ Inner Circle on how to start a business in the online space. She’s teaching them how to use social media to make money, not just to get a bunch of followers, but to actually make an income.Using social media, these women can make a living to either pivot out of the job that they hate, quit their 9 to 5, or turn their side hustle into a legit money-making business.Jen’s very passionate about helping women who wanted to be home and wanted to be supplementing their family income at the same time. These are women who are contributing, using their gifts, and also doing what God is asking them to do in terms of business.
Jen’s Backstory
Back in the year 2000, Jen started her painting business. She would paint walls, cabinets and other furnitures. Her business was featured in a TV show in the US called “Extreme Makeover.”Less than a year into starting her business, she was pregnant with her oldest son, Noah. Jen said that she was left with an internal turmoil that she has a successful business, but she wants to spend more time at home so that she could be with her family.So she started hiring people to paint for her, and by the end of her painting business she had eight women working for her. This allowed her to stay home full-time with her children.Social media also helped with her business. Ten years ago when Facebook started, Jen said that people were using it mostly for personal reasons and not for business. But she found out really quickly that when she posted things about her painting business, it gained her many new followers. She also realised that when she posted, these followers were turning into her clients.
Mindset vs. Tactical
Since she came from the creative industry,
MWH 232 : Creating A New Routine
The world looks very different at the moment, so this week’s podcast episode is all about creating a new routine!Now, I know humans are not meant to enjoy change... In fact, our brains are designed to avoid it.Our brains love to create shortcuts, they love predictability, they crave safety and familiarity.So when COVID-19 struck and most of the countries we live in went into some form of lockdown or at the very least imposed restrictions on the very way we once lived, it was really difficult.When that happened, some people used the word “grieving” to describe how they feltAnd I get it... life has literally changed in an instant.For me, when it happened, I was away on retreat with my Inner Circle Mastermind ladies and we were having a jolly old time in Sydney. But I felt when we came back that Friday night, the world as we knew it was completely different.Many people I’ve spoken to, the women in my community, described the feeling as grief, like I’ve said. They are grieving what they had lost... the freedom, the privileges, and their routines.Let me tell you girlfriend, it’s okay to feel all the feels.Chances are, you have some big exciting plans over the next 6 to 12 months. But those things are now either not possible or they look waaaay different to how you had anticipated. I know some people who are supposed to get married this year. Even my sister! She’s supposed to migrate to Australia with her hubby and their new baby... But now, it’s not going to be possible for quite some time.There are lots of things that are suddenly different right now. But what I want to say to all of you, my beautiful Mums With Hustle ladies, that it’s important to stay awake. Stay conscious to the fact that there are still many awesome things, many amazing opportunities, silver linings, moments of solitude and clarity to get excited about.It’s also a great time to re-align with your own dream and your own vision for your life. You don’t have to throw those things away or even press pause on your goals or dreams because things have changed.You gotta get up, and you gotta dust yourself off. Whether you have a business or not, you gotta find a new normal... for now.
My New Routine
One of the things that works for me is establishing a new routine. Keep in mind that it does take experimenting... it’s okay if the first routine you put together may not work for you or your family. If you’re interested in figuring out how to work while your kids play check out episode 231 with Amy Cox from Playful Families.You may need to mix it up again!Now, I’m gonna share with you how I’ve changed my routine. But first, I want to share the context of my situation.My husband and I are both at home. And I know that not everyone has that luxury. Some people are solo-parenting 24/7 while some people have their partners at home not all the time, but only for a short period.I also know people who have their partners at home, but feel like it’s a curse. One of my friends said that lockdown has clarified for her that she and her husband are not meant to be in the same space all the time. It’s causing more issues for them. They are definitely designed to be married and have a great relationship, but they also need to have time apart and go to their separate workplaces.For more context, both of our boys (who are 3 and 6-year olds) are at home with us. I’m homeschooling the eldest. We also have no physical contact with family and friends. My mum is in a high-risk group, so we’re trying to isolate from her (even if it’s hard to do). We’re not really seeing anyone except for our fambam of 4.I’m sharing all these contexts with you because it can sometimes be really tempting to be able to listen and immediately start comparing your journey to mine. Some people will start thinking that things are easy because of the differences in our situations.
Step Away From Negative Thought Patterns
MWH 231 : The Power of Playful - Simple, Practical and Playful Strategies To Get More Work Done at Home with Amy Cox
I have a bit of different episode for you this week, and I know you’re gonna love it. This workshop was such a huge hit amongst my Social Method Society Members that I knew I had to share it with all of my beautiful podcast listeners, too.So what you’re going to hear today is an extract from a live workshop that took place in the Social Method Society that we turned into a podcast!Amy Cox of Playful Families joined us as our guest coach for this exclusive bonus workshop. During this workshop, she helped our members discover the secret sauce to getting their kids to play independently whilst also helping them identify their non-negotiables and use them to make home time more productive, more playful and joyful for everybody.Let’s get into it!
ABOUT AMY:
Amy Cox is a business owner and mother of four who runs her business from home. Before she had kids, she was an award-winning teacher.Though Amy’s first business launched in 2014, Amy launched her online business in 2018 where she helps parents inject playfulness and connections into their lives. From 2016 to 2019, she was a play session facilitator for families with children. Over the course of three years, Amy has served hundreds of families from different age groups and set-up hundred play ideas for them.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
This workshop is called “The Power of Playful” and during the workshop we’re going to be looking at simple, practical and playful strategies to help you get more work done at home.During this workshop, Amy shares key strategies and simple little tweaks to help set-up a place in your home where your kids can actually play. She advises to use what you have at home to encourage meaningful play so you can get some work done!Amy also helps mums recognise how important they are throughout this process. She even developed a system to teach mums to find a solution for their family and their family’s needs.By the end of this workshop, you will discover the secret sauce to get your kids to play independently.We’re also going to find your anchor words and we’re going to use these words to make your home time more productive, more playful and more joyful.
AMY ASKS: “HAVE YOU EVER HAD THAT MOMENT WHEN YOU NEED YOUR CHILD TO PLAY QUIETLY?”
If yes, the first step is not about what they’re going to be doing or where they’re going to be playing. The first step is to know how they are feeling.Please note: You might find this strategy counterintuitive.There are three things that children need to thrive: a caring adult, who unlocks their world and who gives it meaning. Our children are actually looking at us as their window to the world.
SECRET SAUCE: CONNECTION TO YOUR CHILD
Make your children feel like they belong and give them that feeling of being important. Kids are hard-wired for connections because they are social creatures. They have the innate desire to feel felt. Their primary goal is to feel connected to us, to feel a sense of belonging and to feel like they are important.It is not about knowing they are important, but it is about feeling that they are important. Amy says, “In your child’s world, they have very, very limited control over what they do. You control their home. You’ve got all the control.”Children do not have the aspect of control but there is one thing that they can control and it’s their behaviour. They can control the way that they behave and orient towards a goal.The goal is to get mum to notice them so they can feel felt, so they can get that connection, they can get that attention and they can get that power. If it is not coming in a positive way, then any attention is good attention.
KEY TAKEAWAY 1: START WITH HAVING 10 MINUTES OF ONE-ON-ONE TIME WITH YOUR CHILD (WITH NO DISTRACTIONS)
The strategy is to have a start time and end time with no distractions with your child.
MWH 230 : The Thing That Changes Everything - Creating Stability And Consistent Revenue In Your Business
This episode of Mums With Hustle podcast is dedicated to you, the women who not only believed in themselves, in each other, and all of the future sisters who will decide to join the Social Method Society. You showed that you believe in me as your coach and your mentor in business. And for that, I am forever grateful 🙏I thought I’d give you a bit of backstory about my business. A peek behind the curtain about how my business started and how it looks today...In 2018, I completely changed everything about my business. At the end of July that year, I decided to axe ALL digital products and services that I had previously been offering (even though they were profitable). In fact, they were bringing in multiple 6 figures. But at that time, I had just given birth to my second son, Jude. My intuition was telling me that it was time to make a big change.Most people might’ve looked at me like I was crazy to get rid of all of those products that were giving me multiple income streams. But I had to follow my intuition. The decision popped into my mind to axe everything and focus on ONE thing.
For me, that one thing was an online membership.
So I launched an online membership, and I launched it without having made the actually membership. Yep. Nothing inside, but I invited people to join.If you’re interested in learning how to start and grow a membership, I’m inviting you to head on over to mumswithhustle.com/tribe.This style of launch is called a “Beta Launch” or “Founding Member Launch.” The people who jumped on board became my founding members.It’s important that I share this with you because I know many of you are considering launching either a membership or online course. This information is extremely valuable.Here’s how my own Founding Member Launch went down:
It all began because I saw the need.
Before, I used to offer one on one high level Instagram strategy coaching to women in business. We’d talk about their ideal customer avatar, how to attract them on Instagram, how to sell without being salesy, how to use Instagram Stories, write captions that build their business, how to grow their email list with Instagram, drive traffic to their website with Instagram, how to launch their offers on Instagram, what to post on Instagram…. and so much more!As much as I loved doing this, anyone that has coached before will tell you that it is a MASSIVE energy exchange. I would only be able to serve a maximum of four clients a month. I also had other digital products to sell that all required promotions (such as ebooks, a course and one-on-one services).Coaching was successful, and I was constantly booked. I could have opened more space to coach more clients but it did take a lot of my energy and left very little for the other areas of my business. I was sharing my Social Method marketing framework for Instagram, which I had developed myself to grow my own brand and business.Also, I’m a mum of two little boys. At that time, my eldest wasn’t even 3 and my youngest was only a few months old. So, it was A LOT.A lot of energy scattered in various areas.
Family and time freedom are core values of mine.
I’ve only ever wanted to design a business that allows me to work part-time hours, while still being able to make a difference in the lives of women and in alignment with my own core values.My current business model wasn’t sustainable and if I kept going like this, it would more than likely take it’s toll on my energy and emotional capacity to be there for my own family. I also really felt for my clients that wanted to continue working with me after the one-on-one coaching sessions. This model wasn’t serving me, and it wasn’t truly serving my community.
It was then that I heard about TRIBE, back in 2017.
I immediately warmed up to Stu McLaren, the co-founder, the head coach and mentor of TRIBE.
MWH 229 : 5 Membership Questions Answered
Lately, you may have noticed a radical increase in the amount of membership and subscription-based businesses that are out there. I’ve been hearing from a lot of you that they seem to be popping up everywhere and for some very good reasons!
Membership and Subscription businesses are...
Convenient to customers or clients because they get that ongoing need or desire for problem-solving. The customers get the support they need month after month. Cost-Effective for the consumer (aka the customer of client). And they usually have some kind of community element to them. Let’s face it, at a time like now when we can’t really be physical in communities, online communities are becoming more and more important. Able to Create Stability for you, the business owner. Stability in terms of recurring revenue and being able to predict what you’re going to be making in your business, month after month.
That is a huge game-changer! Don’t you think?As someone who has a membership, I’m able to predict different outgoing costs in terms of my business. I’m also able to look up when is the best time to increase hours for the people and contractors that I have on my team.Before COVID-19 happened, there were people with brick-and-mortar businesses that had a membership element to them. They were able to predict how many staff members they needed to have on the floor at any given time. It’s because of the recurring revenue and stability of the membership that they were able to predict this.What I’ve mentioned above are only some of the benefits from having a membership or subscription, and there are loads more!Today, on the Mums With Hustle Podcast, I’m going to be answering your most pressing membership and subscription questions.Recently, I put a post in my private Facebook group asking women in business to submit their questions about memberships and adding a recurring revenue stream to their business.From that post, I’ve selected a few of those questions to answer right here on the podcast.If you did submit a question, thank you so much! I’ve actually pooled all of those together, and I’m gonna be answering more of those questions in the next week or so.Before we dive into the podcast, I want to invite you to check out Stu McLaren’s FREE Workshop Series.

They traveled all around Australia for two years.During their travels, Liv and her family went to markets to sell her earrings. She introduced herself to everyone she met and she grew her online following in this way.Liv really valued meeting people in person and that translates to the relationship she built (and keeps building) on social media.
BEING AVAILABLE FOR HER FAMILY
Liv says, “One of the things I’ve cherished the most is that when there’s something ...
Which One Of These Four Membership Types Suits You?
Have you ever wondered what would become possible for you if you were to have reliable revenue in your business every month? What would that do for your business? What would that be able to do for your household? That's what a membership can bring to the table.Memberships can do just that - provide you with a regular income. You may have seen that memberships and subscriptions are popping up everywhere at the moment. That’s because they are an incredible way to serve people online. We live in a digital era. That means everyone’s attention is going to continue to move into the online space.People are constantly looking for better ways to do things in their life. Whether it's a new skill to learn, ways to automate and streamline... Even the basic everyday needs and wants that they have in their lives without having to leave their homes.During this episode, you will gain clarity about what a membership could look like for you and for your business.
THE TRIBE EXPERIENCE
This week’s episode is brought to you by the TRIBE Experience. This is an amazing, highly transformative, online course co-founded by Stu McLaren.He’s not only my mentor and the guy who taught me everything that I know about online memberships and subscriptions... He’s also the go-to guy, helping big entrepreneurs, authors, speakers, small business owners and everyday people take what they know and what they already do and turn that to a recurring revenue stream AKA a membership or a subscription.
The TRIBE experience literally changed my life and my business!
This April, Stu is going to be opening up that same course I took (which only happens once a year). I'm a massive advocate on what this course can do and what a membership can do for your life and for other people you can help. Consider how awesome it would be to be able to sell something just ONCE and then have that bring in reliable revenue month after month. I’m subscribed to several memberships, some for my business, others for home life (like toilet paper subscriptions, a wine club, Netflix, Doterra, and I’ve even belonged to a house plant subscription). I’ve had my eye on joining a monthly cheese club.... Have a think about all the monthly subscriptions that you are part of. Memberships are everywhere. They are all around us!Here at Mums With Hustle, I’ll be dedicating this month of April to serving you all things memberships and subscriptions. I truly believe that this is a powerful way to welcome that business stability and predictability. It relieves you from so much overwhelm that business owners experience when they are constantly promoting something in order to get the sale.
MUMS IN BUSINESS WHO JOINED THE TRIBE EXPERIENCE AND LAUNCHED THRIVING MEMBERSHIPS
Last week in the podcast, I had Jessica Donovan join me. Jessica is one of my Inner Circle Mastermind ladies. She has done Stu McLaren’s TRIBE experience course and she has a thriving membership with hundreds of women who are there to learn natural ways to improve their child’s gut health. If you haven’t listened to the episode, she shared a bunch of tips that you’ll want to scoop up when it comes to launching your membership.Coming up next week, you’re going to be hearing from Liv Morgan. Liv is another member inside of my Inner Circle Mastermind. Liv sells physical products. She sells earrings that she designs and makes. She started her earring box subscription last year in 2019 after doing the TRIBE experience with us - myself and my husband and business partner here at Mums With Hustle, Karl Harris. We’re affiliates for Stu’s TRIBE Experience and we absolutely love it!Liv joined TRIBE under our affiliate link. It meant that we could coach and guide her through the eight weeks of the TRIBE course. She also got juicy bonuses from us to help her have a successful launch as well. Liv has sold earrings for years at markets and also via her online store,
How Launching a Membership Can Transform Your Business
If you have a product-based, service-based or information-based business like myself, then you’re going to love learning how to launch your own membership! I know so many of you are interested in learning how to bring recurring revenue into your business month after month. And it’s important to note that having regular income reduces stress and increases stability in your business.This episode is proudly brought to you by TRIBE. An incredible online course and community led by Stu McLaren, one of my main mentors and a dear friend. He is literally the go-to guy when it comes to pitching business owners on how to come up with a recurring revenue model in their business AKA simple monthly subscriptions, whether it’s a service, a product or a membership site.Back in the day, Karl and I were contemplating having a membership for the Mums With Hustle brand, but we didn’t know what type membership it would be. I’m really glad we did not start pursuing the idea until we started educating ourselves. At first, Karl and I were scared to buy TRIBE because we have not spent that much in an online course. But, it was such an eye-opener!
ABOUT OUR TODAY’S GUEST:
Our guest for this episode is Jessica Donovan, an Inner Circle Mastermind mentee and a TRIBE graduate who is running a thriving membership of her own. She’s a mama of two and a qualified naturopath. Jessica helps mums to raise super kids with healthy food and natural medicines.This week, Jessica will share how she launched her membership in the early days and her top tip when it comes to running a membership.Let’s get into it!
JESSICA’S BUSINESS JOURNEY
Jessica started naturopathy early on, straight out of high school. She knew that the traditional role of a naturopath (sitting in clinic with clients all day) is not for her as she loves travelling. So she started an online business that is all about mum’s health to help mums with their energy levels.Jessica built a small community and asked them what online course they would like for her to create. She says, “At the end of the list, I caught an option for kid’s health and I was shocked. That was, by far, the most popular thing that people wanted from me.”
KEY TAKEAWAY 1: LISTEN TO YOUR AUDIENCE
Jessica says that a big factor is listening to what her audience wanted, even if it was off-track to what she was initially thinking about creating.She listened to her community and created a course about keeping their children healthy with their nutrition, gut health and immune system. She catered to what her audience wanted, rather than what she thought she wanted. The course was really successful when she launched it. Her list was around 300 people at the time and 65 people joined the program. So cool!
HOW DID JESSICA START HER MEMBERSHIP?
After the success of her online program, she pivoted her business from focusing on mum’s health to focusing to their kid’s health, entirely. She knew that people would want more support from her.When she came across TRIBE and Stu McLaren’s program about memberships back in 2017, she learned all about how to create a successful membership program, the ins and outs of it, and then launched a membership.
WHAT WAS JESSICA’S MINDSET WHEN SHE JOINED TRIBE
Jessica shares that she was sick of having a “roller-coaster launch” where one month there was loads of cash coming in, but next month there was none. As you may know, having an irregular income is hard to deal with, psychologically, for a business owner.At first, she didn’t have any idea on the type of membership she wanted to offer. But she knew that kid’s health, her product, was an ongoing process. She says that she did not know what that would look like before joining TRIBE.
KEY TAKEAWAY 2: DON'T THINK TOO HARD, JUST DIVE-IN!
There you go, ladies! You don’t need to have all your ducks in a row before joining TRIBE.
What Is The Number One Thing That Most Business Owners Overlook?
If you are in the early days or seed stage of starting your business, this one is for you! We talked about one of the biggest mistakes a lot of women make when they start their businesses and what those ladies who have existing businesses (and wish to grow them) have missed doing the first time.
A lot of business owners say that one mistake they made, most often their “regret” is not building an audience. When they focused more on the image of their brand - the website, the logo, the colours - they are forgetting that they need an audience when it is the time to launch.
When this happens, the excitement of having a new business becomes insanely stressful and overwhelming. If you’ve asked yourself these things:
Then let me help you, ladies, on how to get a clearer picture on who your ideal customers are. If you are already a member Social Method Society, you can access one of our trainings called “Social Beginning” to help you nail that. If you’re not a member yet, you can also check this free related podcast.
So let’s get into it! Here are the main snapshots on how to increase your audience for your business:
Create Instagram account and Facebook page - Claim your space in social media even before you start launching. This can help you start building up your audience even before day one. Take the people in the behind the scenes and in your journey of creating your business.
Start learning your social media platforms - Learn the ins and outs of your online accounts to maximise the interaction with your customers.
The secret is this: Know who your audience is and build your organic audience. You don’t need to have a lot of cash to slash, like the big brands, to utilise paid advertisements and create traffic on your online platforms. You just have to start creating organic audience - '“organic” means a following you built for free on both Instagram and Facebook.
Don’t worry, you don't have to have everything figured out before you launch on your social media. Claim your space and begin hustling. You got this, girlfriend! CONNECT WITH ME

7 Mindset Tips For Mums In Business
This week’s podcast episode is going to be a roundup episode of some the best nuggets of mindset wisdom shared on the Mums With Hustle Podcast.
Let’s get into it! Key Takeaways:
[0:28] This episode is proudly brought to you by mumswithhustle.com which is the ultimate online learning hub supporting mums in starting, growing and scaling drop dead gorgeous businesses. I’m Tracy Harris. I’m an Instagram Strategist, online business coach, and host of this podcast.
[0:54] At Mums With Hustle we’re all about trying something new and spicing things up... Something we’ve wanted to try for awhile now is a round-up episode of some of the best nuggets of wisdom shared on the Mums With Hustle Podcast. MINDSET TIP 1 [1:45] First we have Cara Little who is sharing how she definitely has times when her work life balance is not in check.
[2:10] When you become a mum, you usually struggle to find that identity again. Cara had to really do a bit of soul searching to become more confident in who she was and what she wanted to achieve.
[3:27] The most successful people in the world have grit and perseverance.
You can check out her episode HERE. MINDSET TIP 2
[4:34] This tip is from episode MWH 151 : Motherhood Meets Entrepreneurship : How I Built A Business With My Babies At Home and Endless Night Waking. Don’t get caught up comparing your success or your stage of business withs someone else’s. When you do this, you’re feeding the fire that you’re not achieving enough. That mindset doesn’t bring a good energy to the work that we need to be doing.
[7:18] Progress and success in business does not come down to busyness and doing all the things. MINDSET TIP 3 [7:32] Next we have Kristin Bouse who is sharing how you’re going to have critical moments where you could either throw in the towel or just keep going. A really important expectation to have is failure. The more you can surround yourself around other people who are on the same journey as you, the better.
You can check out the full episode HERE. MINDSET TIP 4
[9:54] I only ever aim to get three things done in one day. Some days I feel like I’m more in flow and I can bust out so much stuff, but then there are other days where I can only get one task done.
[11:00] Life is full of expectations, and we are putting expectations on other people and on ourselves. You are the one that is putting the expectations on yourself. I’ve come up a “rule” of three and it makes me feel really good when I get things done.
You can check out the episode this snippet is pulled from HERE. MINDSET TIP 5
[12:12] Up next, we have Shannon Irvine who is sharing why you need to become the creator of your thoughts.
[13:35] You need to be really aware of your htinking because you’re always advocating for your story. So when you have a thought, ask yourself, “Does this thought bring me closer or take me farther away?”
You can check out the full episode HERE. MINDSET TIP 6
[14:40] Staying on top of your mental health needs to start from the inside out.
[15:45] I saw the shift when I began focusing on my thoughts. Realizing that you are not your thoughts is so poweful. You’re just the thinker of your thoughts.
[16:50] Become aware that you can control your thoughts. You can think something else if what you’re thinking is not serving you. MINDSET TIP 7 [17:23] Finally, we have Julia Black sharing how you need to think back to what you love to do and re-kindle that purpose.
[19:03] When a light goes out, you want to get to a point where you aren’t surrounded by darkness.
You can check out that episode HERE. The Wrap Up
[19:30] That was pretty freaking cool, right? So many fond memories recording those individual episodes! Ah, major thanks to Shannon, Julia, Cara, and Kristin for those incredible words of wisdom.
[19:50] Ladies,
How To Increase Focus Without Having More Time
Let's talk about the "F" word... Focus!
Women in business can easily get caught up believing that all we need is more time in order to grow their business. And that’s simply not true!
I’m here to tell you that you can grow your business between nap times and bells. All you need to do is focus.
So this week, I’m sharing the top three reasons why business owners become unfocused and how you can increase your focus without having more time.
Let’s get into it! KEY TAKEAWAYS:
[0:32] Mums With Hustle is an online learning community supporting mothers in starting, growing, and scaling businesses that make them feel good, makes them money, and helps them make an impact in the world.
[1:13] I wanted to jump onto the podcast and talk to you about the “F” word... Focus! A lot of women in business are juggling a lot and the mental load that they are carrying is huge.
[2:15] A lot of the time can get caught up believing that all we need is more time. And that’s simply not true! You can grow your business between nap times and between bells. You do not need to live in a constant state of overwhelm.
[3:04] What I’m sharing in this episode is the top three reasons why business owners become unfocused. And when we’re unfocused, we’re overwhelmed, we’re not making the best decisions, and we’re not able to access the higher functioning parts of our brain that actually develop our businesses.
[4:46] The first step to creating a new habit is to be able to identify the behavior you want to change. THE 3 BIGGEST REASONS YOU'RE LACKING FOCUS [5:36] Reason number three you may lack focus is because of fancy procrastination. This is basically when you go into a state where you make sure everything around you is pristine. If you’re working from home, this can include the household (e.g. when I’ve caught up on the laundry, when I’ve made dinner, etc.).
[7:08] Number two is comparing yourself to others! This is a big one because it makes you question your own worth. When you do this, you fall into the trap of comparison syndrome and that derails you from your focus. Have you ever found yourself looking sideways at what someone is doing in their business? That takes you away from your business!
[8:29] The main reason business owners lack focus is because they don’t know what to focus on. They’re just winging it while trying to piece together all of the free knowledge out there. CLASSIC SIGNS OF LACKING FOCUS [10:09] There are some classic signs of being unfocused (e.g. being overwhelmed, questioning every decision, wondering what you should be doing next).
[10:28] Feel free to journal if you’d like by writing this question at the top of the page: “How will you know if you are focused? What will it look and feel like for you?”
[11:04] You’ll know that you’re focused when you’re getting the right stuff done in your business. Another way that you’ll know that you’re focused when you’re feeling a greater sense of clarity, motivation, productivity, and great results. You’ll also know that you’re focussed when you have less doubts.
[12:27] Another question to ask yourself is, “What do you need to be able to create more focus?” Hopefully, you don’t believe you need more time because we can have oodles and oodles of time and not use it wisely. You should meditate on this question. THE WRAP UP [13:34] I want you to bring more focus into your business because it will bring you growth. One thing I know I need is accountability in order to stay focused.
[14:35] Give yourself permission to claim what you really need in order to keep your focus and stay productive. Lacking focus is costing you potential money and impact!

Each For Equal - International Women's Day 2020
Every year International Women’s Day has a theme and for 2020 it’s to share how you are Each For Equal. Why? Because an equal world is an enabled world.
The IWD 2020 campaign theme is drawn from a notion of 'Collective Individualism.' Because we are all parts of a whole. Our individual actions, conversations, behaviors and mindsets can have an impact on our larger society.
One of the questions IWD asks is, “how will you help forge a gender equal world?”
Here on the podcast, we honour are doing our damndest to forge a gender equal world by celebrating women's achievements, growth and empowering women to design a life and business they love.
I think you’re really going to love this week’s episode, so let’s get into it! Key Takeaways:

I’ve asked 6 women to join me on the podcast today in honour of International Women’s Day (which was yesterday).

Connect with her via Instagram (@formaecollective), Facebook (@formaecollective), and her website: www.formaecollective.com. How is Jasmine Each For Equal?
Jasmine teaches her children that it’s not what they look like, but what value they can bring to every conversation. This mentality is the same thing Jasmine brings to her business because she tends to view individuals not based on their gender but what they can do.
[6:47] Give a huge welcome to, Rebecca Winston who is up next. Rebecca Winston helps Thermomix users feed their families at the4blades.com She is also a registered Osteopath working from her home clinic in Brisbane, loves developing systems and is Mum to two little ladies.
Connect with her via Instagram (@the4blades), Facebook (@The4Blades), and her website: the4blades.com. How is Rebecca Each For Equal?
There is no one in the world just like Rebecca, just like there is no one in the world just like you. In this world where comparison can be SO present. It is so powerful to show up unapologetically as ourselves because there is a place at the table for us, just as we are.
5 Ways To Balance Working From Home When Your Kids Are There
When you’re a work at home mum it can be hella hard to find that elusive balance between entrepreneurship and motherhood, especially when your children are on school holidays. Trust me, I know.
It’s important to embrace finding ways to strike YOUR perfect balance ’cause what works for me, won’t necessarily work for you.
And that’s why I’ve brought today’s guest onto the podcast today because she’s managing the balancing act of being an entrepreneur and homeschooling!
Today’s guest is Serena Ryan!
Serena is an entrepreneur and homeschooling mama living in the tiny state of Delaware in the US, that values freedom and family time. She left her nursing career to help her husband with their business and to stay home with their boys. She simultaneously became passionate about all things online marketing and homeschooling. Serena and Andy are Launch Coaches that run a group coaching program called, “Let’s Launch”.
In 2017 she also decided to take her passion for homeschooling and create “The Confident Homeschooler” to empower and encourage other parents that want to get started homeschooling but are completely overwhelmed and don’t know where to begin.
During this episode, Serena is going to dive into why she chose homeschooling, how she manages the balancing act of being an entrepreneur and homeschooling, her best tips for toddlers/young children to play/learn independently and how to successfully run a beta launch.

She left her nursing career to help her husband with their business and to stay home with their boys. ABOUT TODAY’S GUEST: [2:13] In 2017, Serena also decided to take her passion for homeschooling and create “The Confident Homeschooler” to empower and encourage other parents that want to get started homeschooling but are completely overwhelmed and don’t know where to begin
[2:53] During this episode, Serena is going to dive into why she chose homeschooling, how she manages the balancing act of being an entrepreneur and homeschooling, her best tips for toddlers/young children to play/learn independently and how to successfully run a beta launch.
[4:40] Serena left her career as a registered nurse because she wanted to be home with them so badly. She got thrown into the entrepreneurial life with her husband. WHAT DOES SERENA MEAN WHEN SHE SAYS “ONLINE LAUNCH”? [6:55] A launch is an event when your product is available for purchase! Whereas a full online launch is the process and marketing plan that occurs before, during, and even after opening the “doors” to your product, whether that be a mastermind, group coaching, a membership site, a course, or other offer.
[8:50] We have several ladies in our Inner Circle Mastermind who start planning their launches waaaay in advance.
WHY DID SERENA CHOOSE HOMESCHOOLING
[9:38] Serena is definitely an unlikely homeschooler who never in a million years thought she’d be doing the same thing. For her family, their biggest reason for homeschooling was freedom and flexibility.
[11:49] Since beginning this journey, it has also opened Serena’s eyes to what education means to her and all of the other unconventional ways to instill a love of learning in your children.
[12:45] Everyone has their own reason for wanting to homeschool. I think it is important to have a family vision and decide if homeschooling matches that vision.
What is best for YOUR family? What is your reason for homeschooling?
HOW DOES SERENA MAKE HOMESCHOOLING WORK?

[3:09] If you’re a service based business whether that’s as a coach, hairdresser, restauranteur, landscaper, dog walker, psychologist.... you’re going to want to listen to today’s episode because I’ll be answering a question that has been sent through by one of my amazing email subscribers who is wondering how she can begin to attract clients on Instagram.
“What I'd like to know is how to attract patients to my private practice. I am a psychologist. I cannot use prices to lure patients according to our council. So, what is the best way to advertise and how should I do that?”
[3:55] I’m going to assume that you would be in Stage One of the Social Method. I call those ladies my “Social Go-Getters”.
[4:24] In order to progress to Stage Two, which I call “Social Storytellers” you really need to have a few key milestones ticked off, including being set up on Instagram AND having a very clear and well optimized bio. YOUR INSTAGRAM BIO [5:17] Your Instagram Bio is that small section that sits at the top of your profile. So claim your space on Instagram by signing up for an IG Business account.
[6:13] Create a username (up to 30 characters) and write your bio (up to 150 characters).
[7:25] Make sure your account speaks to EXACTLY who you most want to serve. A clear bio always communicate what you do, who for and HOW.
[8:03] If you’re really unclear on who you are targeting on Instagram than we recommend that you spend some time learning about how to profile your ideal customer/client because this really is the foundation of ALL marketing. It takes you from shouting at everyone to speaking to someone. It helps you stand out and cut through the noise. We teach this in the Social Method Society. BE ON INSTAGRAM FOR BUSINESS [9:58] As an IG business account you will be able to accept bookings, too. You can also add an email contact button and share your phone number, right in your bio!! WHAT YOUR INSTAGRAM BIO SHOULD DO [10:50] Finally, your IG bio should send them somewhere!!! When you’re setting up your profile or even if you want to edit your profile, you’ll see an option to add a link to your website.
[11:23] You’ll be able to send people to this link via your captions in your post. This is what people are doing when they say “click the link in my bio” or “click the link in my profile.” YOUR INSTAGRAM MARKETING [12:20] Of course getting set up is really just the beginning, your foundation of your Instagram marketing. There are so many ways to find your customers and clients on Instagram like hashtags, content strategy and thoughtful collaborations, etc.

She Used Instagram To Make 49 Course Sales in 48 Hours

ABOUT TODAY’S GUEST: [2:10] I’m pumped to introduce you to today's guest because she's gone live with me before and she has contributed just a snippet of her success secrets in episode 192. It's Juliana Ong!
[2:40] Jules is a Member of my private academy The Social Method Society and she’s a preschool teacher turned SAHM to 3 beautiful girls under 4, a playful parenting coach and founder of her business Stories of Play. Through her Instagram account, and online program Playful Parent Academy, she helps parents raise creative children who enjoy playing independently for hours so children have a wonderful childhood and parents can enjoy parenthood.
[3:19] During this episode, Jules is going to share how she felt when she started her online business, her methods for having an incredibly successful product launch, and her 3 best pieces of business advice.
[5:47] When your children aren’t playing independently, it can make your home life feel a bit chaotic.
[7:29] Originally, Jules was prepared to be a stay at home mum, but her first year of motherhood was very challenging. She created her Instagram account so she could get a little bit of herself back. HER EARLY DAYS ON INSTAGRAM [9:57] Juliana unintentionally grew her business on Instagram by sharing organically what she was doing at home.
[10:56] Everyone around Juliana is very supportive about her and her business. Her husband loves seeing her flourish and do what she loves.
[11:52] If you are not being supported in your business or that people do not understand what you do, be firm in what you believe in and be authentic to yourself.
[14:12] The topics of homeschool education can be quite divisive, but I love how much grace Juliana brings into her Instagram content.
A TYPICAL DAY AT HOME FOR JULIANA
[14:12] Since Juliana is a stay at home mum to three beautiful girls, she structures her day with intention. During her kid-free time (during nap time or when they’re asleep at the end of the day), she works on her business. She does not reset her house after her children go to bed, she leaves that for the morning.

How To Double Your Following And Triple Your Sales On Instagram
Do you want to double your following and triple your sales on Instagram? Of course you do! And if you did do this, what would you do with that extra income per month?
Today’s podcast episode is going to get you thinking about how amazing you will feel when you set strong goals and take action to smash them.
So get your thinking cap on and be prepared to take action by answering this question, “Where do you want your IG marketing to be 6 months from now?”
Okay, are you ready?
Let’s get into it! KEY TAKEAWAYS
[0:33] Where do you want your Instagram to be six months from now? Take a screenshot right now and make a note of how many followers you have and how many sales you’re making.
[1:57] We hear people talking about goal-setting all the time but are they really setting goals or are they simply wishing? Goals are very different. They’re intentional, specific and important because they help us know what we are aiming for.
[2:50] Some people avoid goal setting because they have a fear of failure. If that’s you, I encourage you to reframe how you’re viewing goal setting. Not having goals is like driving somewhere new without an address or map. JOANNA'S INSTAGRAM JOURNEY [3:54] Joanna, the creative entrepreneur and owner Life Thread Boutique, is an example of someone who set clear goals and not only achieve them by her deadline, she SMASHED them!!!
[5:50] In only 6 short months of being a Member of the Social Method Society, Joanna more than doubled her Instagram following and more than 3X her sales.
[6:15] Joanna also has a full time job so she’s got a lot going on in her life but her head is in the game and she’s very intentional and committed to growing her business.
[6:58] It wasn’t that long ago that Joanna had a hobby mindset. She didn’t even feel worthy to join the Social Method Society because she was stuck in a mindset that was telling her that she isn’t as good or committed or established as the other members... which by the way are two major abundance blocks - having a lack mindset and comparing yourself to others!!!
[8:09] When she joined, Joanna had 497 followers and had an average of 5 sales per month. In 6 months to the day of setting those goals, Joanna’s following was 1009 and her sales were at 17 per month!!! WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU MADE EXTRA INCOME ON INSTAGRAM? [9:40] What would you do with an additional $850 per month? Some women choose to re-invest their revenue back into building their business. Others choose to go on a family vacation in the year funded by them! Others pay their household bills, school fees, help pay for renovations or childcare.
[11:15] Because this is a MWH Podcast, I invite you to put pen to paper and write down where do you want your IG marketing to be 6 months from now?
[12:25] The first step to growth is awareness and calling it out!!! Put your desires out there. Be specific. Don’t let the fear of failure stop you from setting a goal.
[12:46] If you are serious about becoming the person who achieves their goals, then that is what qualifies you as being ready to join the hundreds of clever, kind and collaborative women inside of the Social Method Society when doors open on Feb 24th!!! THE WRAP UP [13:51] Go to www.socialmethodsociety.com to add your name to the waitlist, and I’ll send you a special invitation to join on the 24th. This invitation will get you EXCLUSIVE BONUSES when you join on the 24th. So go to www.socialmethodsociety.com and set your alarms because you won’t want to miss that email!!!

So thank you for listening and for sharing it with others. Mums With Hustle is all about supporting the economic advancement of women through business. CONNECT WITH ME

[7:12] Soraya decided to go all in on her business and live her life by design. She planned to resign from her corporate position; however, the week before the date she planned to resign, she freaked out and was ready to cancel everything. But then she posted a very vulnerable post in the Social Method Society Facebook group, where she admitted that she was feeling awful that she was going to resign and put her manager in a bad position. After leaning on her Society Sisters and hearing all of their support, she felt ready to resign.
[11:00] Resigning from her corporate job has changed everything for Soraya. She does more for her business, she feels more confident, and she’s so excited for her businesses future now that she has more time to truly focus on her biz. SORAYA’S MINDSET SHIFTS: [12:27] Soraya had to do a lot of deep work on her mindset and the foundation of her business before taking the leap to resign from her coroporate job and going all in on her business. She wrote down all of her goals and imagined herself a year from now, expressing with gratitude.
[14:30] If you’d like to do a scripting exercise, write down what you’re ideal day looks like as the future you. Write it in the present tense and bring in that gratitude so that you make it become more...
3 Instagram Musts in 2020
Woohoo! It's 2020 and if there's one thing I'm certain of it's that Instagram isn’t going anywhere this year.
The platform is only getting bigger and better for businesses, so now is your time to jump on Instagram and build your audience so you can get people moving from just knowing about you to actually doing business with you.
Today, I’m going to be sharing the 3 Instagram musts in 2020.
Now, grab your pen and paper, and let’s get into it! Key Takeaways:
[0:44] The other day, I was chatting with one of my Social Method Society Members and she asked where she should be focusing on Instagram in 2020. So I thought I’d jump on the podcast and share the 3 Instagram Musts in 2020!
[2:09] There are two things that make you better at Instagram:
Practice! Being in an environment where Instagram marketing is being taught and you’re in a community with other people who are doing this as well.
[2:47] If you’ve been waiting to join the Social Method Society, the doors will be opening again in February! You’ll be able to join us and start taking those steps and being the person who has a successful business according to your own definition of success. Go to socialmethodsociety.com and jump on the waitlist.
[4:28] The purpose of these three things is to start building your audience and getting people moving from just knowing about you to actually doing business with you. 1. Instagram Stories [5:25] You can not be on Instagram in 2020 and not do Instagram Stories!
IG Stories go for 15 seconds. You don’t need to be on camera. Instagram is always investing in this platform’s feature!
[7:11] Embrace unpaid collaborations because it’s collaboration over competition, people!
[8:14] There are so many ways you can collaborate for free on Instagram. If you’ve never collaborated before, make a list of 12 different brands (personal brands of small businesses) that you want to collaborate with. This is one collaboration per month!
[9:03] The purpose is to expand your audience on Instagram. If the purpose is to expand, come up with a list that you can collaborate with to help you reach that end goal of growing your audience.
[10:40] You don't need to figure out HOW you're going to collaborate, just yet. It can be intimidating or scary to put yourself out there to work alongside someone because most humans fear rejection.
[12:48] If you’re interested in learning more about collaboration, click HERE. Another great episode to check out is episode 202 with Alice from Alice in Healthyland, which you can find HERE. 3. DMs on Instagram [14:14] If you’re a personal brand or business owner and your DMs are switched off, you’re missing out on a lot of business.
Turn your DMs on! You can build relationships and your network through Direct Messages.
[16:35] When your audience replies to your IG Stories, it does loads for you in regards to the Instagram algorithm! The Wrap Up [17:17] It takes TIME to learn Instagram, so these are my top three suggestions before you dive into all the other awesome aspects of Instagram.
[18:12] I hope to see you in the Society because these are the strategies that we teach inside the Academy! Go to socialmethodsociety.com and jump on the waitlist.
[18:35] Are you ready to take action? Pick one thing to focus on out of the three things listed below and do it:
Introduce yourself in your IG Stories! Write down the 12 collaboration partners in 2020. Please take a picture and share it in your Stories tagging me @mumswithhustle so I can see it! If you’re someone who has had DMs off, start accepting those DMs.
[19:53] Which one are you going to do first? Head over to @mumswithhustle and let me know! Keep your eyes out for an IGTV about this episode and let me know what stood out for you. CONNECT WITH ME

And what better person to walk us through good copywriting than the queen of copy herself, Jay Crisp Crow!

Then she had firm words with herself, found her voice, and took her own gig on the road.

Some days she runs a business just as a middle-finger to everyone who said she couldn't make a living writing or tells her she charges too much. Don't judge. Motivation is different for everyone.
During this episode, Jay is going to share precisely what makes good copy, 5 tips you can implement today, and what someone should look for when outsourcing their copywriting.

[11:22] Conversational conversion copy is not manipulative. It’s telling a story and then offering someone something.
[14:15] Jay was terrified when she started her business; however, it changed her life! She went from a scared, small woman to owning all the parts of her. Her business Crisp Copy was the catalyst to start that change.
[17:30] Jay took her sweet time easing into her business. She had to find resources and other businesswomen and ways that worked for her so she could financially support her family while creating the business she’d always dreamed of.
[18:51] Jay loves people, but then she wants to speak to no one for a week.
How To Choose Your Word of the Year
Every single year, I choose one word to represent my upcoming year. I do this instead of setting New Year’s Resolutions because the concept of having a word of the year is to have something that anchors you.
It also gives you a lens or filter to see everything through.
During this week’s podcast episode, I’m going to help you choose your own word of the year (WOTY), and how to use that word to drive you being super intentional in every aspect of your life and business.
Let’s get into it! Key Takeaways:
[1:07] Welcome to the first episode of 2020! Having a word of the year is an amazing way to kick-start your year and I’m going to get into why that is, how to come up with your own WOTY, and how to use your WOTY to become super intentional in every aspect of your life and business.
[2:43] Some people have New Year’s Resolutions; however, I do not. Instead of setting New Year’s Resolutions, I set goals. This is a great podcast you should check out if you’re keen to set goals for 2020.
[4:15] I thought I’d share with you what my 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 WOTYs were and what my 2020 word of the year is!
2016 - Authentic 2017 - Intention 2018 - Growth 2019 - Ease 2020 - Love
[5:19] When you choose your WOTY, you’re going to feel in total alignment with that word. Don’t choose a word because it sounds like something you should be choosing and don’t overthink it!
[6:30] I want to share with you some of the words that my Social Method Society Members have picked for 2020!
Susanne from @susannelilleyphotography chose the word “Organised”. Robyn Miller from @mentalloadproject chose the word “Bolder”. Leanne Rowe from @limeandmortar chose the word “Ambition”. Joanna from @lifethreadboutique chose the word “Fearless”.
Choosing Your Word of the Year
[9:40] Who you are being as a person is going to drive what you do in your business. And this has a direct effect on what you experience or what you have.
[10:42] Some individuals choose their word of the year through meditation, but maybe that’s not your jam. Maybe you prefer to walk? Or maybe through some form of movement? Prayer? Or just sitting by yourself?
The thing all of these practices have in common is solitude. It’s having time by yourself with your own thoughts.
[12:00] Carve some time out for yourself, as little as 5 or 10 minutes, to practice solitude in some form. Then ask yourself, “What do I need in order to welcome the most positive growth and abundance in my life and business in 2020?” And then sit and be while the word comes to you.
[14:20] You need to lean into your word of the year, so the first thing you should do is write it down. What I’ve done is write my word of the year in the middle of my chalkboard door, and I welcome anyone questions about my word. Moving Forward With Your Word Of The Year [16:00] Brainstorm or journal around the below categories to gain clarity around your year.
Relationships Health Business Family Society Religion/Spirituality Life Finance
The write your word really big in the middle of your paper.
Ask yourself, “How am I going to bring more and intentional and bring (insert your word of the year) into my Relationships?”
Do this for each of the categories.
[17:59] Last year, in 2019, whenever a decision would come up or things would feel hard/heavy or overwhelmed, I would bring my focus back to my word of the year. I’d ask myself, “How can I make this easy?”
[22:55] What can be the ripple effect of bringing your word of the year into your life?
[23:23] I really can’t wait to see what you create! This is really profound stuff. I want to see you putting this into action.
[23:58] If you’ve loved this episode, please share it! And if you do this exercise, I would love to see it! Please share it with me by taking a photo and sending it to us at hello@mumswithh...
How To Stop Letting Your Mind Hold You Back
Did you know that you have the power to reprogram your mind so that you can be living the life you’ve always wanted? It’s true, and today’s guest is here to tell you exactly how.
Today’s guest is Dr. Shannon Irvine. She’s a mum, entrepreneur, high achievement mentor, host of the Epic Success Podcast and a philanthropist. Shannon has a Ph.D. in Neuro-Psychology and helps her clients “neuro-hack” their success by harnessing the power of the brain to hardwire productivity, goal attainment, and high performance mindset mastery.
What I love the most about Shannon is that she didn’t come from entrepreneurial roots, but she has always been driven to create something impactful.
So if you’ve ever felt like your mind has been holding you back and leading you to procrastinate and dwell in self-doubt then today’s episode is one that you are going to want to listen to and take notes.
During this episode, Shannon is going to share why neuro-hacking is so important for entrepreneurs, how you can harness the power of your mind to create the business and life that you want, and how to kick imposter syndrome to the curb for good.
Let’s get into it! Key Takeaways:
[0:24] Can you believe 2019 is almost over? This year has been so full and so amazing. And I just want to say if you have been one of the many lovely ladies who have left us a five star review on iTunes then thank you, thank you, thank you.
[1:24] Podcast reviews are super important to iTunes and the more reviews we receive the more likely iTunes will reward us with better reach so we can continue to empower incredible women in business and serve them so that they are also able to design a life and business they love.
[1:45] I want to share today from Tara over at @aussiecurve. She wrote: “What an inspiration you are for small new businesses like me. I listen to you every week and take notes. Thank you.”
[2:23] You do not have a “small” business. You have a business! As soon as I read your review, I knew I had to address this on the podcast because sometimes when we call our business “small” it’s really just our mind holding us back from big things. ABOUT TODAY’S GUEST: [3:10] Today’s guest is Dr. Shannon Irvine. She’s a mum, entrepreneur, high achievement mentor, host of the Epic Success Podcast and a philanthropist. Shannon has a Ph.D. in Neuro-Psychology and helps her clients “neuro-hack” their success by harnessing the power of the brain to hardwire productivity, goal attainment, and high performance mindset mastery.
[4:29] During this episode, Shannon is going to share why neuro-hacking is so important for entrepreneurs, how you can harness the power of your mind to create the business and life that you want, and how to kick imposter syndrome to the curb for good.
[6:05] Shannon’s children are the fuel behind everything that she does. Shannon figured out that she’s not quite employee-able, so she knew entrepreneurship was for her! YOUR MIND AND NEURO-HACKING [8:23] Most entrepreneurs believe that there is something that makes other entrepreneurs successful.
[9:48] When Shannon had her son, she got into the mindset that she wouldn’t be able to raise her child and run her business at the same time. She actually thought about letting her business go. But then she had a mindset shift and she hired a mentor where she learned that her thoughts have power.
[12:23] Shannon went into Neuro-Psychology for a Masters and she was viewing it from an entrepreneurial point of view. She learned that you can re-map your brain and your wires!
[14:19] Many of your beliefs and resistances that you tell yourself are just a story that you’re telling yourself. Success doesn’t mean that you’ll be away from your family or that you won’t be able to mother in the way that you want to mother.
[16:09] There is a systematic process where you can remove any of your limiting beli...
Overwhelm In Business - What No One Tells You
Overwhelm is something that I’ve spoken about on the Mums With Hustle blog before, but moreso in the sense of avoiding Instagram overwhelm.
Today’s episode is a bit different as we’re going to be talking about overwhelm, energy, and how to be more present in your daily life.
I will say that after this episode, you may want to take action by journalling your thoughts and feelings surrounding overwhelm so that you can become more aware of how/when overwhelm crops up for you.
Let’s get into it! Key Takeaways:
[0:53] If you’re listening to this episode and you’re a mum, you’re juggling all the balls. I’m right there with you.
[1:54] Mums With Hustle is an online education platform that is all about supporting mothers in starting, growing, and scaling their businesses. One of the greatest tools we have in this era is Instagram, so I love teaching my ladies how to use it with ease.
[2:52] This week, I’m going to be talking about that feeling of overwhelm that leads to us feeling burnt out and stressed.
[5:34] When we are feeling overwhelmed (especially during the holiday season), it doesn’t take much to see yourself being short and curt with people. You certainly don’t want that affecting your business or personal life.
[6:30] It’s really important to be able to feel in control, joyful, and present throughout the year (not only during the holidays). Where Does Overwhelm Come From? [8:03] Where does overwhelm come from? Overwhelm starts in our own brains in our thoughts. It comes from others. And overwhelm comes from boundaries. What boundaries do you have in place in order to manage your own work/life business?
[10:01] Our thoughts are habits. If you say you’re overwhelmed, then you’re thinking that you’re overwhelmed. You end up taking or avoid taking the same actions.
[11:57] Your thoughts are cycles. You have the power within you to change the cycle and break that by bringing in a very deliberate effort to disrupt this pattern.
[13:50] The hustle doesn’t have to be hideous. Being a business owner doesn’t mean you can’t switch off. There are so many other people who are not operating from a space of overwhelm. They are happy, successful and mothering and running a business that feels good to them.
[15:26] Overwhelm really is a state of mind. With awareness and conscious effort, we can change our states of mind.
[16:13] Sometimes our bodies can feel the sensation of overwhelm. It shows up and you go around telling yourself this story that you’re overwhelmed. For some people that energy and feeling of overwhelm, isn’t even your own. The Feelings Of Overwhelm
Those feelings, those thoughts, that energy, hasn’t even come from your own stuff. Often we carry the energies and emotions of other people. Anything you engage or interact with can enter your emotional space. Some people are more sensitive to this than others. They’re more physically able to tune into the emotional experience of other people. Essentially, they empathise on a deeper level.
[20:38] A highly developed empath is able to pick up on their vibe or energy, to the point where they can deeply feel the emotions of others.
[23:16] I’m an empath, and it took me 30 years to even hear what the word was. I’m telling you this because you may not be overwhelmed, you may be carrying the weight of other people’s emotions as your own.
[25:41] If you can feel yourself feeling the pain, be aware that it is not your overwhelm. Have a moment to say, “No, thank you.” Imagine that their emotions are a pizza that you hate and imagine rejecting that and giving it back to them.
[26:50] The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks is where I first heard of this Energetic Pie technique, so definitely check that book out. It’s a must read!

About Today's Guest: [3:54] Today's guest is a Hashtag Hustle graduate and her name is Annette McIntosh! Annette is a mum, the designer and head honcho behind Danger and Moon. Most days you’ll find her knee deep in pretty paper things, juggling mum life with her passion for partying. A fashion graduate, Annette spent 16 years at the forefront of the rag trade forging her career as a designer, textile and graphic designer and senior trend forecaster. She's travelled the world for some of Australia's biggest retailers and worked alongside industry icons, before taking the leap into running the studio full time.
[5:45] During this episode, Annette is going to walk us through who her ideal Instagram follower is, how she attracts her ideal follower and why it's important to have an audience of buyers rather than just an audience. Annette’s Instagram Journey [9:47] Annette was on Instagram, but she had no idea how to use it as a marketing strategy for her business.
[10:40] Throughout her time taking Hashtag Hustle, Annette came up with a beautiful ideal customer that she now targets on Instagram. She even named her avatar and build her lifestyle out!
[15:30] Annette has built her ideal following full of her target audience by knowing exactly who she was!
[16:34] Annette has been putting in a sprinkle of herself into her Instagram marketing, so she can build relationships.
[17:44] In order to grow, she needed to let go. She brought on a Social Media Manager (SMM) to write her captions and now her SMM is nailing Annette’s brand voice. Growing an Audience of Buyers on Instagram [21:11] What does having an audience of buyers mean for Annette? She has realized that her followers buy when they are emotionally connected. 48% of Annette’s income is coming from Instagram.
[25:29] When Annette first joined Hashtag Hustle, she thought she’d see instant results from the course. However, in hindsight, she realised Instagram is a long-term strategy. It’s not something you learn, implement and then abandon.
You need to keep going. Try to reflect on what you did and do it again, but better.

[2:17] Today's guest is Janine Boyd. Janine is the Founder and Creative Director of Little Picassos Adelaide where she has built her business from scratch and is now running four purpose built art studios for children, as well as delivering programs into schools. Little Picassos also has a brilliant team of eighteen teachers and assistants running fantastic art programs and events!
[2:48] During this episode, Janine is going to share a bit of background information on her hardships as an entrepreneur, how she managed to open her fourth studio, why she’s a huge believer in long-term investments and how she has used Instagram to grow her business with confidence. About Janine and Her Business [3:48] Janine is a trained Visual Art Teacher and she loves art education and how much joy it brings children. Specifically, that love of creating something that is exclusively theirs.
[8:14] Because she started her business 15 years ago, the early years were challenging and exciting in many ways. The hardest part for Janine was telling others what she wanted to do. In her heart, she always knew it would work and she had what it takes, it was just harder to convince others.
[10:58] Janine was passionate about making all of her own choices. And she was blissfully happy being the mum I wanted to be, working the business around the needs of her children.
[12:10] To Janine the vision was so clear and exhilarating, that she didn’t mind waking up getting up early. Her mindset was to get the work done, be happy, and sleep later. She took full responsibility for the vision!
[13:20] You need to know yourself and your energy levels. You do not need to burn the candle at both ends. Finding balance is absolutely crucial! Janine’s Experiences Growing Her Business [14:17] Janine has two completely different experiences when it comes to learning about how to grow her business. There is an excitement that surrounds how to move your business forward.
[16:11] When it comes to Instagram, Janine first felt like a fish out of water. She had to get clear on how to use Instagram to grow her business. Janine joined the Social Method Society and went right back to Stage 1. She had to look at what does her business look like...
How I Stay On Top Of My Mental Health As A Mum In Business
Today’s episode is going to be a special one in honour of PANDA Week which takes place from November 10 to the 16th. PANDA Week is all about getting real about perinatal anxiety and depression, which are two things that I speak about often.
It’s important to me to use my platform to help break down the stigma that surrounds anxiety, depression and stress - especially when you’re a mum in business.
The truth is, “There’s a lot of baggage around mental health. Many people are afraid to talk about perinatal anxiety and depression! There are many misconceptions about these serious and common illnesses."
Not to mention, so many people don't know the signs or symptoms of anxiety and depression. Plus, they don't know where to seek help IF they are struggling.
"Too many people are afraid to reveal what they’re feeling and delay seeking help because of fear of being seen as bad parents."
PANDA wants expecting and new mums, dads and their families to feel they can be open and honest about their feelings.
"As a community, we need to ‘get real’ about perinatal anxiety and depression."
So, that's what I'm honouring here on the podcast today.
Let’s get into it! Key Takeaways:
[1:20] On the 19th of November, I’m going to be teaching you and hundreds of other women where I’ll be sharing 3 Quick Strategies For Turning your Instagram Followers into Customers (P.S. these even work if you have a small audience) in a live Masterclass. Head to socialmethodsociety.com/masterclass! If you want to end this year on a bang and head into 2020 stronger than ever then save your seat. Plus, I’ve made a pop-up Facebook Group for you to join me and the other mums with hustle in the lead up to this FREE masterclass. Register now!
[4:28] From November 10-16, 2019 it’s PANDA Week! PANDA Week is all about getting real about perinatal anxiety and depression, which are two things that I speak about often.
[6:11] If you’re feeling like (or if someone in your family/friendship circle is) experiencing anxiety and depression, then get that person to their local doctor.
[8:38] At Mums With Hustle, we want to bring a focus to the nurturing of mums in business.
[9:14] A few years ago, I was diagnosed with severe anxiety, mild depression and acute stress. I couldn’t imagine speaking about my flaws with anyone because I felt like it was a weakness. SEEK HELP [10:59] The first step is being brave enough to speak to your GP and make sure you have a relationship with your GP where they listen to you. If you’re in Australia, ask for a mental health plan. Check out PANDA, The Gidget Foundation, and COPE.
[12:25] I used to run away from anyone who tried to check in on me. I was in a heightened sense of wanting to protect myself. The thread was really my thoughts.
[12:59] In episode 199, Karl interviewed me. One of the questions was related to my mental health and how I stay on top of my mental health as a woman and mum in business.
[14:10] Staying on top of your mental health needs to start from the inside out rather than looking at the outside first. WHEN IT COMES TO MENTAL HEALTH, START FROM WITHIN
When I began to focus on my thoughts, that’s when I saw the shift. You are not your thoughts. You’re just the thinker of your thoughts. Become aware that you can control your thoughts. You can think something else if what you’re thinking is not serving you.
[16:58] I had the help of a psychologist for 18 months. Seeing a professional will really help you slow down and clear the mental junk in your head.
[18:49] Give yourself time for just yourself. Whether it’s just getting your eyebrows waxed or going on a short walk. Start with baby steps.
[19:35] I had to get to a place where I could do things without my children joyfully. I was able to then have time with my husband, my friends,
She Made $27K In One Month Using Instagram with Daniella Frayman
I’m quite excited about today’s podcast episode because we’re going to be chatting with someone who smashed her goal and made $27K in sales in only one month using Instagram.
Today’s guest is Daniella Frayman! Daniella is a Member of the Social Method Society, a mum of two boys and the owner of Threads for Boys – an online store for cool boys’ clothing and accessories. She is fueled by coffee and a desire to revolutionize boys fashion.
During this episode, Daniella is going to discuss some of her biggest self limiting beliefs and how she overcame them, how she had a $27K month on Instagram, and how she went from being scared of live video to embracing it!
Let’s get into it! Key Takeaways:
[0:35] My name is Tracy Harris. I’m the founder and CEO of Mums With Hustle, the Founder of the Social Method Society. It my absolute joy and purpose to help women create businesses that they absolutely love without them being all consumed by their business.
[1:00] I’m thrilled to introduce you to today’s podcast guest because you may recognize her from a previous blog that I shared a couple years ago when she was featured as a Mums With Hustle Spotlight. I remembered that she described herself in three words. Those words were “introvert, passionate, and hot headed.”
[1:42] I have had the pleasure of watching her become more comfortable on video while also incorporating herself into her brand, and I’ve definitely seen her fiery passion for growing her business.
[2:00] Today's guest is Daniella Frayman! Daniella is a Member of the Social Method Society, a mum of two boys and the owner of Threads for Boys – an online store for cool boys’ clothing and accessories. She is fueled by coffee and a desire to revolutionize boys fashion.
[2:17] During this episode, Daniella is going to discuss some of her biggest self limiting beliefs and how she overcame them, how she had a $27K month on Instagram, and how she went from being scared of live video to embracing it!
[6:30] Daniella’s business began as an eBay store where she didn’t have a niche or general direction. She was only looking for something to do from home! She used her frustration of never being able to find boy’s clothes she liked to carve her own space in the niche.
[10:12] You get to control the pace of business for the season that you’re in.
[11:58] Daniella has overcome some big limiting beliefs in order to have the business that she has today. Daniella’s Self-Limiting Beliefs
“Who am I to run a retail business?“ She thought this because she had no previous retail knowledge or having ever worked in retail. When Daniella just started Threads For Boys, a lot of agency/brands would not take her seriously. She was told that having a boys only store was not feasible. Daniella was not in business for the money. She was passionate and believed in her vision.
[14:40] Don’t use your lack of experience as an excuse to not chase your dream and build your business. Everything is “figureoutable.”
[16:00] Daniella loves a challenge. She has always wanted to be the go-to store for boys clothing and she knew there were mums of boys who wanted a place to buy clothing for their boys. She is still learning the retail world and she’s constantly having to find what works and doesn’t. Going Live on Instagram [17:45] About a year ago, Daniella came into the Social Method Society’s private Facebook Group and shared a win that she had just gone live on Instagram and Facebook. She was so scared, but she did it! Now, she’s always showing up on video on Instagram. A lot of people let fear stop them from doing anything in life and business. How has Daniella moved through those Instagram video fears?
Daniella knew that if she wasn’t doing video that she would get left behind. Once she says she’s going to do something she generally does it.
Instagram Isn’t Showing You ‘Likes’ And This is Powerful For You!
As you may know, Instagram is my jam, and it’s what I’m excited to chat with you about here on the podcast today. We’re going to be diving into how Instagram isn’t showing you ‘likes’ and why this is powerful for you!
Because guess what? The fact that your “likes” are out of sight means that the focus is on your content, rather than a number. Which is HUGE!
So, let’s get into it! Key Takeaways:
[0:23] Welcome back to another episode of the Mums With Hustle Podcast! I’m your host, Tracy Harris. I’m the founder and CEO of Mums With Hustle, the Founder of the Social Method Society, and the founder of the Instagram Course Hashtag Hustle.
[0:45] I coach and mentor women to design their life first and business second – by harnessing the superpower of social media, in particular Instagram, as part of a complete digital strategy.
[1:05] I've been teaching Instagram marketing for four years and in that time I've helped thousands of female business owners increase their profits and create radical change in their lives through my transformational online programs, speaking engagements and high-level coaching programs.
[1:50] I want to take a minute and shout out a couple of five star reviews that were left by two of my lovely listeners because when I read them, I was instantly high-vibing.
[3:20] Don’t forget our Podcast Review Giveaway is actually coming to an end in 3 days! October 31st is the last day to enter our giveaway, so if you haven’t left us a review on iTunes please make sure you do so along with your Instagram handle. This way we can DM you for your address, should you be selected as one of our many winners to receive a prize pack from me in the post.
[4:15] Today we’re going to be talking about Instagram’s recent move to trial hiding likes from mobile users in Australia.
[5:55] Depending on how your brain is wired, you’re going to see this as a great thing or you could be in the camp of the scarcity mindset.
[6:50] Whenever there’s a shift in how a social media platform works, are you someone who is able to view this as a new way to serve you or do you view it as if you’re always at the mercy of the social media platform?
[7:46] Instagram isn’t going anywhere. It’s becoming more and more popular and we get to choose how we feel about the platform.
[8:42] Not everything has to be doom and gloom. When Instagram makes a change, it doesn’t mean you’re less visible. Your Mindset
What you focus on, expands. If you’re focusing on being powerless, then you’re going to have other thoughts that keep you operating on that level. You have the opportunity to think more empowering thoughts so you can go to another level.
[10:11] Having a business is all about YOU and how you think.
[10:30] If you feel like you are ready to master your mindset, master your Instagram marketing, and have a little bit of coaching. I urge you to put your name down to join the Social Method Society.
[11:26] Women are happy that Instagram has hidden Instagram likes because many women have validated their worth based on Instagram likes. These business owners and influencers have expressed that they would post for likes rather than posting for truth, value, impact, or substance. INSTAGRAM NOT SHOWING LIKES [12:43] There is a notion of pack mentality because others will like your content because it’s already popular - rather than liking it because they are actually interested.
[13:52] It’s easy to fall into the illusion that great content gets a great amount of likes; however, there’s more to it. You need to make the effort to communicate your value in all forms (through testimonials, media kits, etc.).
[14:57] The fact that likes are no longer visible for influencers, they’ll have to communicate their value. Inside of the Social Method Society,
Product Photography and Styling Tips for the Busy Entrepreneur
Product photography is everywhere! It’s on every social media platform (especially Instagram!) and it’s on every website that offers products. And guess what? Roughly, 99% of all purchases come from an emotional response... That’s HUGE!
Now, I know we don’t have many Mums With Hustle Podcast episodes where we chat about product photography (though we do have this awesome episode with Nicole Ward that is all about flat lays!).
Since product photography is essential to growing your business, I thought I’d invite a today’s guest onto the podcast to share her insight and knowledge when it comes to product photography.
Today’s guest is Emily Sorenson! Emily is a Founding Member of the Social Method Society which means she has been a Member from the very beginning when we launched with just the promise of something awesome.

[5:05] During this episode, Emily is going to talk about her Shift Competition entry and how her mindset has shifted, along with the low-down on all things product photography and how to DIY your own photography to make scroll-stopping content.
[7:12] Being a working mum in the corporate setting, Emily didn’t feel as supported once she returned to work. So she decided to make her own money! Emily has had her business for a year.
[10:45] Every year we have a Shift Competition and it is an exercise of self-reflection. It’s about recognizing the shifts that you’ve had! This year, Emily won the Shift Competition because we were so moved by her entry.
[12:45] Emily has experienced significant mindset growth and she has up-leveled her business massively. What was Emily’s big shift?
Emily started to be courageous by developing two new streams of income and she backed herself with bigger package offerings. She has also started talking better about herself as a business owner. Emily also invested back into her business for new equipment and didn’t view it as a loss.
[16:19] Emily offers Lightroom presets! They allow you to put a filter on your photo and completely customise it. These presets make editing really quick and consistent. Check out Emily’s Lightroom presets HERE.
[18:45] You should always aim to share scroll stopping images on Instagram. What makes a scroll stopping image?
Clear, bright and swoon worthy. Make your product stand out!
What You Need To Know Before Growing Your Team
I am very vocal about how extremely passionate I am when it comes to growing a small, but mighty team. You know, we hear it all the time, that in order to grow, we need to let go.
But it’s not always easy to do that! It’s not always easy to know straight away what aspects of your biz you’re ignoring or procrastinating over. It’s also quite scary to let someone into your business because we’re so protective of it!
The thought of having anyone take on some of that responsibility can be really frightening.
That said, if you’re holding onto tasks that don’t fall within your skill set you’re likely holding yourself back in terms of business growth. And today’s guest is here to help you overcome those fears so you can confidently let go.
Today's guest is Theresa Loe and she is incredible! Theresa is a Team Building and Leadership Coach for beginning to multi-7 figure Online Entrepreneurs. She helps CEOs build small, self-managed teams within a scalable company structure so that they can work less while having a bigger impact on the world.
Theresa provided a guest Masterclass inside of the Social Method Society to teach my Members all about hiring your first VA and outsourcing. She is a wealth of knowledge, and I knew I had to get her onto the podcast to share her expertise so that you're set up for success BEFORE you start growing your team.
During this episode, Theresa is going to cover how you can get out of the “can’t afford help” mindset, why training someone doesn’t take as long as you think, what the common mistakes are when hiring your first VA and how to avoid them, and so much more.
Let’s get into it! Key Takeaways:
[0:33] I’m here to show you that the hustle doesn’t have to be hideous. Success doesn’t have to look a certain way. Business can be easy, joyful, and beautifully abundant.
[1:24] I seriously love this review from Martine Johnson, “This incredible woman produces the most amazing FREE content week after week! This podcast is FULL of actionable tips for starting, growing and designing the perfect business for mums in business. Not only will this podcast help you design and grow your perfect business, it gives you actionable tools to design your perfect life. This podcast has become part of my Monday ritual to set my mindset for the week. Tracy, you are the Oprah for mums in business and I am so grateful for all the Ahhhh Ha moments you have given me while listening to your podcast!”
[3:10] Action is precisely what you’re going to want to take after today’s episode because this week’s guest is going to be speaking about everything you need to know before growing your team.

[10:31] Theresa loves teaching people how to be the leader of their team. Last year, she completely pivoted her business to do just that. Now she runs programs for CEOs and their teams.
[12:33] There is a universal fear of hiring among CEOs.
[14:03] It is imperative that you start handing day-to-day activities off so you can continue to focus on growing your business. Why is getting help so important?
You get to focus on growing your business rather than working in your business. Theresa always says that you can’t grow until you start delegating. When you don’t outsource, you are actually procrastinating because you’re being busy doing the wrong things...
5 Lessons Learnt From Being In A Paid Mastermind
Before I joined a mastermind, I felt so uncomfortable investing that amount of money into my own development. However, since then I’ve come to realise the ripple effect of when I invest in myself...
I’m able to do so much better in the work that I do to serve you and help people all over the world!
My mentors have been pivotal in what has become possible for me within my own business and within my own business. And that’s what I want to talk to you about on the podcast today.
Today, I’m going to be sharing 5 lessons that I’ve learned from being in a paid mastermind. I’m also going to be announcing something special, so make sure you listen through to the end. Key Takeaways:
[0:53] Today, I’m going to be talking about something different because I’ve been asked over the years to do a deep dive on this topic!
[1:25] I want to dive into today is about a premium mastermind. The context that I’m speaking about a Mastermind is:
A. It’s paid. B. It’s facilitated by a mentor. C. It’s a year long entrepreneurial experience.
[2:27] My mentors have been pivotal in what has become possible for me within my own business and within my own business. The ripple effect of when I invest in myself, I’m able to do so much better in the work that I do to serve you and help people.
[3:19] Why did I join a mastermind? Because ultimately it’s about investing in yourself so that you can in turn invest in your business. When I help someone, I want to be able to help them at my highest level. I truly believe the most successful people in life are open to continuous learning.
[4:53] Finding mentors to help me with the inner work and mindset is super important to me. Two of my mentors are James Wedmore and Jim Forton.
[5:55] Before I joined my first mastermind, I felt so uncomfortable investing that amount of money into my own development. Then I came across Jim and he said, “Successful people aren’t making decisions based on their current circumstances, they’re making decisions based off of where they’re headed. JIM’S METHOD OF - BE. DO. HAVE.
Think like the CEO you need to be in order to have the things you want to have in your life. This led to me behaving like the CEO, which then caused me to have the business that I have now.
[8:39] I asked myself a series of questions so that I could make a clear and conscious decision. Before joining a mastermind, I asked myself:
If I don’t join an opportunity like this, what am I giving up? What would become possible if I joined versus if I didn’t? Ultimately, did I believe if investing this amount of money would bring me growth in myself and business revenue? Would I be able to make the investment back?
[10:43] Being in a paid mastermind, is one of the most enriching experiences that I’ve had in my life. It causes you to slow down, step out of your business, and go far together with a small intimate group of people.
[13:15] Everyone tends to have a love language, and mind is quality time. Having the time freedom to spend with Karl and my children... that lights me up! So when I see mentors living life large that sees them having a big impact in this world without sacrificing time and freedom, I know that I would like to learn from them.
[15:00] My first lesson that I learned from being in a paid mastermind is to take action! TAKING BOLD ACTION
I’m able to move through problems and indecision much quicker. When I first joined a mastermind, I instantly up-leveled in how I was thinking and what thoughts I was having. I also started setting loftier goals. Instead of seeing obstacles or blocks, I became hardwired to seeing opportunity.
[17:14] When I invest in myself, I’m able to invest in everybody that I’m trying to serve. SERVING MY CLIENTS
I’ve been able to take what I know and serve my clients at a higher level.
Behind The Grid - Life As An Influencer
Even though influencer marketing is a hot commodity on Instagram there is still a negative stigma surrounding influencers. This stigma is really just a general fear about influencers, and I want to shine a light on the fact that influencers are just people!
That’s why I’m so excited for you to meet today’s guest, Alice Bingham, who is an influencer on Instagram with over 40K followers.
Alice is passionate about sharing and exploring her version of Healthyland with her beautiful tribe of goddesses. Her content is about fuelling her body with nourishing food, creating healthy recipes, self love discussions, moving the body and the ups and downs of motherhood.
During this episode, Alice is going to share what an average week looks like for her, how she creates content and how she has gotten through some influencer mindset blocks, along with three things someone starting in the influencer industry needs to know. Key Takeaways:
[0:25] This episode is proudly brought to you by my Social Method Society, which is my online learning academy for women growing businesses using Instagram.
[0:57] If you are wanting to know more about the Social Method Society or if you want to be made aware of when I do open up the doors again for the next intake, then the best thing you can do is head over to socialmethodsociety.com. From there, you’ll be able to jump onto my waitlist and be the first to know when doors open again.
[1:30] Today's guest, Alice Bingham, is actually a Member of the Social Method Society and she recently recorded an entire Masterclass with me that was all about diving deep into Influencer Marketing. This Masterclass was something we released exclusively for my Society Members and these ladies are LOVING it.
[2:08] Alice is passionate about sharing and exploring her version of Healthyland with her beautiful tribe of goddesses. Her content is about fuelling her body with nourishing food, creating healthy recipes, self love discussions, moving the body and the ups and downs of motherhood. And she has grown her Instagram account to over 40K loyal tribe members!
[3:20] During this episode, Alice is going to share what an average week looks like for her, how she creates content and how she has gotten through some influencer mindset blocks, along with three things someone starting in the influencer industry needs to know. ALICE'S INFLUENCER JOURNEY [5:20] Alice has always had the urge to help and inspire people. She found that health and wellness had a big impact on her life, and so Alice wanted to share that journey.
[10:25] When Alice first founded @aliceinhealthyland, she was using Instagram as a diary of sorts. She was influencing then, when she wasn’t realising it. Whenever someone asks her she owns the fact that she’s an influencer!
[13:04] Alice helps business owners by providing a marketing platform for them by being herself. She has built the trust and credibility on Instagram!
[15:40] Instagram is a great way to gain brand awareness and sales. The trust is becoming more and more important because people buy from people!
[16:50] Alice’s friends and family used to say that she got a lot of stuff for free, but in reality they don’t see the hours of work that goes into creating content. HOW DOES ALICE DEAL WITH SNARKY COMMENTS?
Snarky comments about influencer marketing do not bother Alice anymore. Alice blocks out any snarky comments. It’s okay to shrug off any hateful comments, so you can focus on showing up with consistency.
[21:35] Alice has a helping nature in her, but she had to learn how to balance paid influencer work and gifted influencer work. This caused her to have to get comfortable saying no to opportunities.
[23:02] If you’re listening to this episode, and you’re a member of the Social Method Society, there is a Masterclass available for you that is all about working with inf...
Turning Connections Into Clients
When you are asked what you do for a living, what do you say in order to make connections?
One of the keys to moving more towards connection is to feel comfortable and confident communicating your value in a way that is clear and concise.
Today’s episode is going to set you up for success when it comes to speaking about what you offer and who you serve.
Today’s guest, Suzi Dafnis, will be teaching you how to formulate your own Connection Statement through her four step process.
Suzi is the CEO at HerBusiness, a collaborative and supportive community. For over 20 years, she’s helped women develop the skills and the network to go from being a solopreneur to growing a sustainable business.
During this episode, Suzi is going to share what exactly a Connection Statement is and why it’s important. She will also be sharing how to create your own Statement so that you are better able to turn your connections into clients! Key Takeaways:

[3:35] During this episode, Suzi is going to share what exactly a Connection Statement is, why it’s important and how to create your own so that you are better able to turn your connections into clients!
[6:15] Suzi’s BIG passion is helping women business owners who want to grow great businesses, create their ideal lifestyle and make a difference in the world.
[8:41] Like Karl and I, Suzi and her husband, PJ, work together (but in separate offices!). They’ve had to really define what their roles are!
[9:52] Why is a “Connection Statement” so important to connect with your audience, clients and customers straight away? MAKING CONNECTIONS
A Connection Statement is a simple way to explain what you do so that people know immediately who you serve, and also who you are not for. Your Connection Statement helps prevent entrepreneurs from getting tongue-tied so they can talk about what they do without confusion and start making more sales. When the other person gets what you do, it’s easy for them to support you and refer you.
[13:02] When it comes to your Connect Statement, the first place you need to start is by thinking about who you are serving. GETTING CLEAR ON YOUR SOUL MATE CLIENT
Know who you are going to target. Even though you may have a number of different ideal clients, likely there’s a particular type of person that is most suited to your product or service and the way that you deliver it. Remember, when we don’t have a specific type of client in mind, we can waste time spending our time and attention on the wrong people.
[17:00] Step 2 of Suzi’s Connection Formula is to know your client's pain point or problem. KNOWING THEIR PAIN POINT OR PROBLEM
There are internal and external pain points. Identify the results that you can get for that ideal client (this result should be what alleviates their pain).
8 Hot Tips From Happy and Successful Mums In Business
When I first started the Mums With Hustle Podcast I had no idea what it would become. I had no listeners, no Instagram following and no business experience. It was purely about wanting to share my business journey in the hopes that it would help at least one person. It was also about uniting all of us in our shared experience of business and motherhood through tips and action-taking.
These episodes have come out weekly over the past four years and as I have evolved, the podcast has evolved too; however, it remains true to its initial purpose of education, inspiration and community!
The ripple effects that are being felt far across the world by women of all faiths, ethnicities, beliefs and lifestyles are honestly astounding and I want to take a moment to stop and celebrate our progression, our collective journey and our community!
And since we are massive supporters of female entrepreneurship and navigating the motherhood/entrepreneurship journey at the same time, I've asked several kick-ass women in business, some who will be familiar faces because they were guests before and some who are appearing on the podcast for the first time, to join me and share their best tips for early stage business owners who are just starting out. Key Takeaways:

Learning To Love Your Struggles
It’s really easy to assume that success in business happens over night, with no struggles whatsoever. In reality, it doesn’t. Building your business and taking the leap into entrepreneurship is not always shiny. Sometimes it’s having to share a single coffee with your hubby because it’s all you can afford and other times it’s having to move to another country because the cost of living is less.
These are things my dear friend, Tessa Hartnett and her husband Nathan, did when they were starting and growing their businesses and working through their struggles.
Tessa is a 7 figure entrepreneur who is e-commerce obsessed with over 12 years of experience in the field. She’s currently running a total of 11 stores with her husband and loves to travel with her family.
Something we really want to touch on during this episode is the less shiny parts of entrepreneurship because there are many challenging times while you’re growing your business from the ground up and, more often than not, those times are not spoken about.
Get ready to learn how Tessa learned to love their struggles! Key Takeaways:
[0:23] This is episode is coming to you from all the way in Byron Bay, New South Wales. It’s a bit of a different episode because I’m actually recording this while on holiday with my friend Tessa Hartnett.
[1:03] Since Tessa and I had the opportunity to be together IRL we thought it’d be fun to jump on and record a podcast episode that talks all things entrepreneurship, struggles, what it’s like to raise a little one and work with your husband as your business partner because these are all experiences we have in common!
[3:18] Tessa has a zero attachment mindset when it comes to her business because her and Nathan (her husband) are so experimental when it comes to their niches.
[4:30] When Tessa and Nathan were on their first date, he told her how much he wanted to be an entrepreneur and she loved it. Their first business was an eBay store!
[7:49] Tessa and Nathan work extremely well together and they don’t know how to do anything different because they’ve worked together since their first date! What is it like for Tessa to work with her husband?
They butt heads on certain decisions. Tessa and Nathan do not fight, but they do have disagreements. Both of them rely on each person’s strength. They ask each other, “How important on a scale of 1-10 is this for you?”
[11:08] Sometimes when you’re working with your spouse, it’s easy for your ego to get involved. However, it’s important to not let your ego run the show.
[12:38] There is no middle ground when it comes to your children. They’re either really cute or driving you up a wall.
[13:33] Tessa never new if she would be a mum, but because her and her husband was an entrepreneur they thought it’d be nice to have a baby too.
[14:47] At 9 months old, they put their son into daycare and Tessa felt really guilty. She felt like she was giving her business and her team the short straw.
[16:14] You CAN balance being a mum and an entrepreneur.
[17:08] Your environment really contributes to how you feel about yourself and what you do. How did Tessa work through the guilt?
Tessa and her family relocated to New Zealand/Thailand and this removed her from the societal pressure. Get around like minded people because then you’ll feel much better. Social support is also incredibly uplifting.
[20:00] When Karl and I decided that I would breastfeed the boys beyond a year, it meant looking out for breastfeeding communities online and being around people like that it normalised breastfeeding for myself.
[23:55] If Tessa didn’t have much money, how was she making her decisions? She takes life by design to another level. She designs the life that she wants and then creates a business that helps her have that. Learning To Love Her Struggles
Ask Me Anything - Celebrating 4 Years of the MWH Podcast
Pop the champagne ’cause the Mums With Hustle Podcast is celebrating 4 years of the Mums With Hustle Podcast with another episode where Karl, my husband, is interviewing me with questions my listeners emailed in!
Today’s podcast episode is going to be a little cheeky and off the cuff since I had no idea what questions I was going to be asked.
So without further ado, let’s get into it! KEY TAKEAWAYS:
[0:22] I’m honestly a bit scared to be coming to you from the studio today because apparently Karl and my sneaky assistant, Lara, hi-jacked my inbox requesting that you send in any questions you may have so that Karl can interview ME!
[2:53] Can you believe that it has been four incredible years since starting the Mums With Hustle Podcast? I’m so grateful and very thankful for every single one of you listening to this podcast, for leaving reviews, and for being a pivotal part of the Mums With Hustle community.
[4:40] Hannah from @themindsetmama asked, “How did you decide podcast over blog? What made you just launch into it with full faith in yourself?”
I actually had a blog and podcast when I first started! I decided that I would post a blog and podcast once a week, so I had committed to doing two pieces of core content every week. After about two years, I leaned into the content that I enjoyed creating the most which is the podcast! It’s my preferred communication style in general because it builds a relationship much quicker. From day one, I focused on “how is this action going to help the most amount of people?”
[7:49] Sandra from @hashtaginstaprints asked, “What does Tracy do to stay on top of her mental health?”
Looking after my mental health is a top priority for me because a few years ago I was diagnosed with severe anxiety, mild depression and acute stress. Every single day, I always do something very small just for me. Once a fortnight, I like to go and get my hair washed and blow dried. Karl is really good at giving me an uninterrupted coffee. I dove deep into understand who I truly am at a soul level, not who I think I’m supposed to be for other people. I also continue working towards knowing what my core needs are as a human, and I set boundaries.
[10:27] Melanie from @forevertoyshop wants to know, “What should someone never do on an Instagram Stories post?”
I love being a business rebel and shaking things up by just being you. Don’t be something you’re not and don’t think you have to play a certain roll. Something I really cringe at is when people name or shame other businesses or customers. It’s not a good look to get ranty! Ask yourself, “Is this the best way to go about this?” Be yourself. Be authentically. If you’re on Instagram for business, then know why you’re there.
[13:16] Karen asked, “What has been the most challenging experience in business so far?“
There are so many challenging experiences! Every time you add something new that leads to growth feels, it will feel so hard and heavy. Having to say goodbye to people on your team, really hurts. But it’s a part of stepping into your role as a leader. Sometimes projects don’t come to fruition because there are red flags or your intuition pops up and it’s telling you it isn’t right. Being willing to make tough calls in your business.
[15:28] Mel from @fortheloveofsorted_mel asked, “Do you ever have days where everything is “too hard” and you want to be alone for a hot minute? If so - what do you do?”
I totally do, and I always give myself that time! As I’ve said before, I only have three things on my to-do list per day. It’s really necessary to give yourself time away and time to chill, so when you come back you have more clarity. I know that there are times in the month when I’m feeling supercharged and I can run the world. There are days when work feels difficult,
How This Single Mum Mastered Her Mindset (Part 3/3 In Our Special Motherhood Meets Entrepreneurship Series)
Your mindset is everything when it comes to living the life of your dreams!
I honestly get a little giddy every time I sit down with one of my Social Method Society members to talk about how far they've come in their entrepreneurial journey. I can already feel the butterflies, and I haven't even introduced today's guest who is extremely driven and the blood of an entrepreneur courses through her!
Today's guest is Wilhelmina Ford! Willo is the creator of ShareAbode, a platform that connects single parents for co-living so they can share the cost of rent and expenses and gain friendship and support emotionally and logistically.
During this episode, Willo is going to explore her motherhood journey and share how she has overcome her money mindset blocks a single mum who is running a non-profit. And in true Mums With Hustle fashion, Willo is going to dive into her best mum hacks or household hacks that has helped make her dream come alive. Key Takeaways:
[0:23] Today’s podcast episode is part three of my three part special When Motherhood Meets Entrepreneurship. If you’ve missed part one and part two, please feel free to go back and listen to MWH 195 : Building Your Business Around Your Life with Jennifer Berson of Jeneration PR and MWH 196 : My Best Tips For Working At Home With Toddlers. You’ll find those episodes inspiring and full of takeaways, so you may want to take notes!
[03:26] Today's guest is Wilhelmina Ford! Willo is the creator of ShareAbode, a platform that connects single parents for co-living so they can share the cost of rent and expenses and gain friendship and support emotionally and logistically.
[03:58] During this episode, Willo is going to explore her motherhood journey and share how she has overcome her money mindset blocks a single mum who is running a non-profit. And in true Mums With Hustle fashion, Willo is going to dive into her best mum hacks or household hacks that has helped make her dream come alive.
[05:28] Willo has always been very entrepreneurial driven; however, when her son was born she lost her passion around her first business. When Willo fell pregnant the second time, she started to have an outgrowth of who she used to be. Over the course of her being pregnant with her second, she decided to sell her business and she left her abusive partner. Willo's Mindset Breakthrough [10:10] During this life altering change, Willo had a mindset breakthrough. She realised that maybe everything she was going through was actually the road to get her to where she was meant to be.
[11:08] Parenthood is a personal growth journey in and of itself. Willo was in a place where she didn’t know anyone and there was a lot of pressure as a single mum.
[12:55] I really wanted to explore Willo’s motherhood journey a bit more. What are some of blocks that Willo had around motherhood?
Willo didn’t think she was worthy of having a relationship with a man who was actually good. She burst through this block because of fear. Fear doesn’t have to hold you back, it CAN be a massive catalyst for change.
[16:56] Willo founded her not-for profit, ShareAbode, to give safe and affordable housing to other single mums and dads. ShareAbode is that passion reignited that I’d lost and that's because it was created from experience, from my pain points as a single mum.
[20:30] How has Willo managed to overcome money mindset blocks as a single mum when building her business? She has started this business without the intention of making money.
[22:42] Willo’s money story always comes back to her self worth.
[29:57] When it comes to our mindset we have to honour who we are on the inside, so we can change the outer world as well.
[30:43] Everyone can create a schedule that works for them! In this section,
My Best Tips For Working At Home With Toddlers
Working at home with babies and toddlers is not an easy feat, but it doesn’t have to be difficult either. During today’s episode, I’m going to be sharing how I spend my time working in my business and my best tips for working at home when your children are still there with you.
If you pick up any theme from today’s message, I hope it’s that you understand the importance of knowing who you are, honouring that, and treating yourself with respect for where you are now in your entrepreneurial journey. Key Takeaways:
[0:29] Today’s podcast episode is part two of a three part special that covers when Motherhood Meets Entrepreneurship. If you’ve missed part one, please feel free to go back and listen to episode MWH 195 : Building Your Business Around Your Life with Jennifer Berson of Jeneration PR. I had a really enlightening conversation with Jen all about how she navigated the early days of starting her business, how those days looked differently once her kids were born, and what her support network looked like.
[2:36] During today’s episode, I’m going to be sharing my best tips for working at home with babies and toddlers.
[2:56] I want to start this episode off with the disclaimer that we’re all unique and we’re all different. We need to honour exactly who we are at this given moment in time. I’m purely sharing what has worked for me, so it helps one person. I’m not some guru when it comes to this sort of thing, but what I’m sharing is what I have learned and put into practice over the last four years of being a business owner.
[5:01] I only aim to get three things done in one day. Some days I feel like I’m more in flow and I can bust out so much stuff, but then there are other days where I can only get one task done. Life is full of expectations, and we are putting expectations on other people and on ourselves. You are the one that is putting the expectations on yourself. I’ve come up a “rule” of three and it makes me feel really good when I get things done.
HOW I BREAK UP THE THREE THINGS I DO THROUGHOUT THE DAY:
One thing I work on every day is something be related to marketing. Then, I work on something that generates income. I do this because if it’s income generating, it’s also impact generating. I try to learn something new every day. My third thing is always related to self-development.
[10:09] Be aware of the expectations you’re setting on yourself.
[10:43] Master your mind and the way you were designed to think. You can do this by getting to know yourself! Investing in yourself in terms of self-awareness and mindset. For instance, I know when my brain and energy is best for performing at executing tasks throughout different times during the day.
[12:56] Your “Hour of Power” is actually something different when it comes to performance and entrepreneurship. It’s that time during your day when your’e the most energetically charged and things aren’t heavy.
[15:45] Don’t punish yourself if you don’t meet your own expectations. It’s okay if your’e building your business at a slower pace.
[16:58] During my eldest’s first two years of life, he was a serial cat napper. I couldn’t rely on getting a solid one or two hours. HOW DO I STRUCTURE MY DAY?
I leaned into the Pomodoro Technique where you work for a solid 20 minutes followed by a 5 minute break where you do something completely different. It’s important to know what you’re going to do during those 20 minutes.
[20:05] If you’re not a member of the Social Method Society, you can jump on the waitlist HERE.
[21:06] I had old beliefs about what “work time” meant to me and that belief had me trapped. I forgot that I had the power to choose what “work time” looks like for me. It doesn’t have to look or feel like what it was when you worked for someone else. Your “work time” is in your control and you can structure it in a way that makes ...
Building Your Business Around Your Life - Part 1/3 In Our Special Motherhood Meets Entrepreneurship Series
The element of having young children around all the time when you’re trying to grow your business can really be a trying journey, but it doesn't have to be hard.
Today’s podcast episode is actually part one a three part series of When Motherhood Meets Entrepreneurship that I’ll be exploring with you here on the podcast.
This episode features a friend of mine who is going to inspire and empower you like crazy, so let’s dive right into it!
Today’s guest is a mum, a powerhouse, a PR guru, and the one woman who is hailed as all three, is sitting on the virtual couch for today's podcast episode. I'm very excited to have an honest conversation about motherhood and entrepreneurship with my friend Jennifer Berson.
During this episode, Jen's opening up about her motherhood and entrepreneurship journey. She's going to share how she navigated the early days of starting her business, how those days looked differently once her kids were born, what her support network looked like, and of course a DIY PR strategy for Mums With Hustle Podcast listeners. Key Takeaways:
[3:51] Jen really wanted to be a present parent and when she looked around at her full-time career, she saw she had no role model. That’s when she realised she was going down the wrong path. She knew that her current career wouldn’t let her have it all or leave her feeling fulfilled.
[5:42] Jen’s family was not supportive of her taking this swift career change. So she had to come to terms that her ultimate happiness was based on how she felt and how she wanted to spend her time. It was never about doing the things that make her parents happy. When she did tell her parents she was leaving her job in law, they were filled with fear.
[10:01] When things don’t go as planned, Jen feel okay with that. Jen has always been proactive to make things happen for her. Jen's Business Journey [11:40] About 10 months in to her being a new mum, Jen invested in a nanny. She learned how to be laser focused so she could prioritise the things that matter to her and her clients. Jen also learned how to say no to the opportunities that took her away from her family.
[13:40] Jen defines success of being able to have ownership of her time. Having her own business allowed her to take the time to fight for her son (who was diagnosed with Autism) to have a program for him in the school system.
[18:19] We think we’re the best solution for our children, but it’s really good for our children to be around other kids. Jen is 100% open to having help with her children. Once Jen knew she needed it, she reached out to get support.
[21:48] Feeling guilty for needing help is not productive, and it’s not a way to move your business forward.
[23:48] Young mums in business have the feeling that they’ve got to do it all. So I’ve asked Jen to share her best advice for mums who are just starting out in business. What is Jen’s best advice for young mums in business?
You can’t do it all, and that’s okay. Ask for help when you need it. Most spouses want to be helpful, but they don’t know how to help you if you’re not clear with what you need. Make sure you’re taking time for yourself through self-care. Celebrate your wins (even the tiny ones).
[25:54] It's obvious that Jen has a place in her heart for entrepreneurs whose stage and budget do not allow for PR services. I asked Jen to share her best tips on how to DIY your own PR strategy! The good news is that PR is much more simple than you think. How to DIY Your PR Strategy:
Start out with the mindset that the people on the other side of your pitch are just people. Your subject line should be just enough to get them to open the email. Express some interest in what they’re writing by making a personal connection. Spend a week or two before you pitch and start to connect thr...
Marketing Your E-Commerce Products on Instagram (Without Being Spammy)
A lot of entrepreneurs find it quite challenging to grow their e-commerce business on Instagram. This is why I really wanted to highlight today’s podcast guest because she is doing a beautiful job in marketing her e-commerce products on the Gram without being spammy.
Today’s guest is, Kate Patch, a Member of The Social Method Society, a mum of two, and the chaos coordinator and chief boss lady behind Heritage Blankets, an e-commerce business. She aspires to be more present and to take life as it comes whilst embracing the wild chaos and seasons motherhood brings. Often you will find Kate designing new baby blanket collections, crushing on floral prints and loving all things pretty.
During this episode, Kate is going to share how she has grown her e-commerce business on Instagram and what the deep relationships and friendships that she's made within the Social Method Society has made possible for her as a young mother in business. Key Takeaways:
[0:30] Thank you so, so much for tuning into the Mums With Hustle Podcast each and every week. It is amazing to have such a vast community of women who are ambitious and heart centered.
[1:15] I have been reading some recent reviews and they absolutely light me up. Please keep reviewing the Mums With Hustle Podcast!
[2:48] It has been over a week since I’ve welcomed women into my marketing academy, The Social Method Society. Being in the group this week has been so incredible! If you missed out getting in the Social Method Society this intake, don’t be disappointed. The doors will open again in the future! Get on the waitlist now.
[5:00] Cue the excitement because today I'm sitting down with another Social Method Society member who is one hundred percent part of the Mums With Hustle movement. Today's guest is Kate Patch, a member of The Social Method Society and a mum of two, and the chaos coordinator and chief boss lady behind Heritage Blankets. She aspires to be more present and to take life as it comes whilst embracing the wild chaos and seasons motherhood brings. Often you will find Kate designing new baby blanket collections, crushing on floral prints and loving all things pretty.
[6:58] Kate has always been an entrepreneur at heart, and when she started her business as a bit of a side hustle, she decided to invest in her growth and her business.
[9:52] A lot of entrepreneurs find it quite challenging to grow their e-commerce business on Instagram. So how has Kate been approaching Instagram without seeming spammy? How is Kate showing up on Instagram?
Kate didn’t realise how to use Instagram properly, so she invested in my flagship course Hashtag Hustle. Now Kate uses Instagram as a connection point where she’s only trying to grow a community rather than sell to them. Stop thinking about how to get people to engage with you and start thinking about how you can engage with them.
[14:40] Kate recently had a personal revelation that she shared so vulnerably inside of the Social Method Society. And I have asked her prior to this episode, if she’s open to sharing that revelation here on the podcast because it hit home for a lot of her Society Sisters. From sharing this revelation, Kate discovered she wasn’t alone and it was important for the other women to learn that they aren't alone either!! When we talk openly about our experience - even the less fun parts and the messy realities... it lifts any shame and makes way for growth!
[16:10] Kate had to realise where she was wasting time and how she could prioritise the most important tasks. She wasn’t able to step away from her business to also spend quality time with her family. There was a disconnection between how much time she was spending on her business and how much time she was spending on her phone. Now, Kate puts her phone away when she’s working.
The Ideal Instagram Stories Length and Structure
I am always talking about the power of IG, Instagram Stories, and how you can use the Gram to build the business of your dreams so that you can be more present in your family, travel to wherever your heart desires, retire your husband, raise your children on your own terms through the income your business is generating simply by using Instagram.
During today’s episode, I’m going to be sharing with you the IDEAL Instagram Stories length and structure so that you can start showing up on Instagram with confidence and purpose. KEY TAKEAWAYS:
[1:37] It can be easy to assume that I feel comfortable in front of the camera all the time, and it can be easy to think I’ve had video confidence my entire life. That’s not true! I had to overcome so many resistances to improve my video confidence.
[2:32] It can feel like you’re talking to yourself when you show up on Instagram Stories, and on top of that negative feeling... you can get really tongue tied. And then if you actually posted to your Stories, you wonder if anyone is really watching it!
[4:04] Recently, Instagram has made the improvement for users to be able to record up to a minute worth of content. So what is the most ideal length for your Instagram Stories? The ideal length is 4x15 second clips (one minute long!), but up to 8x15 second clips.
[6:00] The simple Instagram Stories structure to see you getting more views, is right at your fingertips! It’s my free Instagram Stories Strategy Pack. It comes with my step-by-step framework to create Stories that aren’t awkward. Grab it now!!
[8:02] You need to pay attention to your Instagram Stories Analytics. This will help you understand if your audience is liking what you’re putting out.
How To Access Your Instagram Stories Analytics:
When you view your IG Stories, tap on the number of views. This will open a whole new set of analytics. Pay attention to the views in your specific Stories set. You want to retain these viewers to through the end of the Stories. Are you able to do this? Look at the drop off rate or exit rate of viewers. If that number is decreasing significantly, it means your audience isn’t really watching. When your audience watches all the way through, you are building relationships!
[11:01] You need to also pay attention to if people are sharing your Instagram Stories, tapping back (that means you’ve done something and they couldn’t get enough of it the first time), or replying to your Stories. Those are all really great indicators that your audience is loving what you’re putting out.
[12:05] You and I both know that growth comes from taking action, so I want you to do the work! Go ahead and do the Instagram Stories Strategy Pack resource I mentioned above. Grab it now!!
[13:14] If you are someone who needs a filter to feel confident, then there are a load of IG Stories filters for you to play with. Just start showing up and having fun!

5 Brilliant Business Women Share Their Success Secrets
Business looks different for every body, and today I’m going to be chatting with five brilliant business women who will be sharing their success secrets.
These women are all Members of my online academy, The Social Method Society and it’s so amazing to witness these women going from strength-to-strength.
During this episode, these women are sharing one thing that they’ve actioned in their business recently that has been a game-changer for them. It is my hope that you can connect through their experience and wisdom so that you can have the same success. KEY TAKEAWAYS:
[0:25] Welcome back to another episode of the Mums With Hustle Podcast. This podcast is sponsored by the Social Method Society, which is my online learning academy for female entrepreneurs growing heart centered, impact driven businesses using Instagram. The doors to the Society will be open from July 23, 2019! Get in on my FREE Masterclass where I’ll be teaching you how you can turn your followers into customers, even if you have a small audience. If you want to attend this free masterclass, then save your seat now! Register now.
[3:04] This week’s episode is a little bit different, and it’s going to be a lot of fun! You are going to LOVE it. I’ve asked five of my Members from the Social Method Society to join me on this episode of the Mums With Hustle Podcast.
[3:35] The Social Method Society is my private academy, where I help women in business discover how to stand out on Instagram and turn those followers into eager buyers that rave about them. It really is the perfect blend of intentional Instagram marketing meets business building.
[4:30] The women on this episode have been taking small steps every day, and they are experiencing shifts. I’ve asked them to share one thing that they’ve actioned in their business recently that has been a game-changer for them. It is my hope that you can connect through their experience and wisdom so that you can have the same success.
[5:03] Up first we have a consistent action-taker, Kyla Smith. Kyla is a paediatric dietitian specialising in fussy eating and childhood nutrition. I’ll let her introduce herself because what she does is really beneficial for mums with small children, so let’s get into it! HOW IS KYLA SHOWING UP IN HER BUSINESS?
Kyla is focussing on being proactive, rather than reactive. She takes time to prioritise what will move her closer to her big goals. Kyla works smarter, not harder in all aspects of her job by ensuring that her mindset is in the right place.
[10:11] Did you love how much her mindset has shifted? Something that really stood out to me is how Kyla is being proactive, not reactive! That’s so good for so many reasons. Now let me introduce you to Jules, a preschool teacher turned SAHM to 3 beautiful girls under 3. I’m pumped to hear what Jules has been up to in her business! HOW IS JULES SHOWING UP IN HER BUSINESS?
Jules joined the Social Method Society the day after she gave birth to her third child. However, before she joined the SMS, Jules didn’t actually have a business and she suffered from severe imposter syndrome. Since joining the Social Method Society, Jules has shifted her mindset to have confidence in her mindset and niche by staying in her own lane. She has stopped making excuses and being a perfectionist so that she could launch her offer. Jules launched her signature program with just an idea, and she more than doubled her launch goal!
[15:24] Heck yes, girlfriend! Oh, I love that so much. We all have to stay in our own lane and serve our audience as best as we can. I connect so much with what you’ve said, Jules. Up next is Rachel... Rach is the Founder and Designer over at Mother and Sun, a maternity Beachwear line designed to support active, beach loving mamas to keep living the life they love throughout their pregnancy and into motherhood.
Showing Up and Standing Out on Instagram
Many service based businesses think that Instagram isn't for them, which is total BS! As a business to business (B2B) on Instagram, you CAN show up and stand out on Instagram.
Take today’s guest as an example of someone who is truly making an impact on Instagram by serving her audience with unique collaborations, insightful Stories, and posts that inspire her audience to take action.
Rachel Reiter is a member of The Social Method Society and a branding designer. She has been in the Society for a while now and her fellow Society Sisters cannot stop raving about her work!
During this episode, Rachel is going to share specifically how she's navigating Instagram as a business to business entrepreneur, how she ensures her personality shines through her content, and how you can instill trust in your brand starting TODAY. Key Takeaways:
[0:22] Welcome back to another episode of the Mums With Hustle Podcast. This podcast is sponsored by the Social Method Society, which is my online learning academy for female entrepreneurs growing heart centered, impact driven businesses using Instagram. You have your chance to get inside and participate in an upcoming Masterclass where I’ll be teaching you the Social Method. I’ll be teaching you how you can turn your followers into customers, even if you have a small audience. If you want to attend this free masterclass, then save your seat now! Register now.
[3:26] Today's guest is Rachel Reiter, a member of The Social Method Society and a branding designer. She has been in the Society for a while now, and my members cannot stop raving about her work!
[5:40] You're going to love getting to know Rachel! She’s obsessed with getting to the heart of your business, you, because that’s where true brands are born. With 16 years of experience in branding and marketing collateral, magazine design, advertising, website design and packaging, Rachel develops bespoke, personality-packed, and effective branding identities that are authentically, you!
[6:23] Rachel’s business was a side hustle before she considered it a business, but she LOVED what she was doing.
[7:34] When Rachel had her first child, she questioned whether she still wanted to run a business. She realised that she wanted her business to be meaningful for both her herself and the people she worked with. After some soul searching, she asked herself what was it about her previous work that she felt the best doing and that was branding for women in business who are going for it! This is why she helps heart centred entrepreneurs.
[11:52] Many service based businesses think that Instagram isn't for them, which is total BS! As a business to business (B2B) on Instagram, here's how Rachel is showing up and standing out on Instagram. How is Rachel Showing Up on Instagram?
Rachel posts at least 4 times a week with a mix of tips, her opinions/thoughts, work samples and fun illustrations/memes that are intended to inspire her audience. She shows up on her IG Stories consistently, particularly on her work days. A lot of Rachel’s bookings stem from the personal touch that Instagram platform allows us to share. IG allows Rachel to connect with her audience on a personal level, which builds trust. This is so important for service based businesses as the investment your customers are making is generally a lot more involved than product purchases (whether financially or emotionally!).
[14:57] It wasn’t very long ago that Rachel would not get onto video. But after she joined The Social Method Society, Rachel began to worked up the courage to jump on video more and more often!
[16:58] A realisation that Rachel shared in the Social Method Society private Facebook Group, is that not ALL of her content needs to relate to branding and design, even though that's her niche!
[17:37] Rachel was having trouble being productive.
Instagram Mindset - How To Feel Good On The Gram
Let's examine your Instagram mindset real quick. Have you ever looked at someone’s Instagram account before and felt a knot in your stomach for whatever reason? And then you get stuck in your own head thinking, “Am I ever going to get there?” or “What’s the point?”
Or maybe you see someone in your own niche that you look at with envy because they’re always launching or coming out with something amazing, and you wish you could do that?
Have you ever been there? ‘Cause that is imposter syndrome and when your inner critic comes to play, she’s never nice to you.
Today, I want to talk to you about your Instagram mindset and those times when being on Instagram makes you feel less than. I’m going to share seven strategies to help you cope with your Instagram mindset and push through the imposter syndrome because in those moments, we are not our thoughts! And when we really work on our mindset, we are able to achieve so much growth in all aspects of our lives.
Mindset work is something that we cover inside my private academy, The Social Method Society because your mind is a powerful tool that’s linked to your success. If you’re interested in learning more about a holistic Instagram marketing strategy, then you need to join. The doors are not always open, but you should jump on the waitlist so you're notified as soon as the doors are open again.
Now, let’s jump into seven ways to help you feel good on the Gram! KEY TAKEAWAYS:
[1:08] Do you experience imposter syndrome? Do any of the examples I mention here relate to you? If you’re nodding along, then girlfriend, we need to silence your inner critic ASAP.
[2:04] When your inner critic comes to play, she’s never very nice to you. It’s important to know that going through this from time to time is totally normal! The good news is that you do NOT have to stay there. You can move through imposter syndrome with the tips I’m sharing today.
[2:43] I’m sharing 7 tips to help you move through imposter syndrome to improve your Instagram mindset. These tips are coming from myself, other women in the Mums With Hustle Community and some members who are killing it in the Social Method Society.
[4:07] The first strategy is a bit of a band-aid solution which is to unfollow people or stop looking at accounts that make you feel less than. I don’t feel like this is the best one, but it should get an honorable mention since many people recommend doing it.
[5:07] The second strategy is that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side, sometimes it’s fake. This analogy is brought to you by Colin Boyd. The deeper meaning behind this quote is powerful. We never actually know how things really are on the inside of that business or in that person’s personal life.
[7:36] My third tip is going to help you get into your own self-awareness. When you’re self-aware of WHAT and WHY something is triggering you, you’ll be able to shift into a space where you can work through your feelings and make it mean nothing. ASK YOURSELF:
What about this account, person, particular caption or photo, etc. is triggering me? How do I think, feel and believe because I’m looking at this account? Is there something specific that I'm I making it mean for me? Do I truly even believe my thoughts right now? Can I find an example that proves this otherwise?
[9:24] Tip number four is all about disconnecting! Put the phone down and go do something that turns your lights on. This is something that my friend Julia Black spoke about before on the podcast. Her episode was MWH 179 : The Importance of Passion in Unlocking Your Mindset with Julia Black of Explorium.
[10:03] The fifth strategy is to know that you don’t have to go at it alone in business. Become part of a network where you can go and speak about how you’re feeling. Never underestimate the power of relationships and friendships to help make you feel b...
How She Turned Her Hobby Into A Business
What do you think is possible for you in your own business when you truly step in fully and give it your all? I know you're passionate about designing a life that you love. Maybe this also includes designing a business that gives you more time with your family? A business that does not have to be overwhelming and all consuming? Would you finally stop thinking of your business as a hobby?
Sounds like a dream, doesn't it? Well, guess what. It can be your reality.
Recently, I shared how Vanya Insull turned her food blog into a business. Now, I'm sharing how another biz babe turned her hobby into a business. Turning A Hobby Into A Business Casey Patch has achieved this coveted work-life balance simply by going all in to turn her hobby into her business. This mindset shift allowed her to retire her husband from his job so that they both can be more present for their children.
Her business, Little Lifelong Learners, supports parents and early years educators who want to learn playfully with their little learners!
During today's episode, we're going to hear all about how passionate Casey is about designing a life she wants to live with a business that allows her life to be everything she's ever dreamed of. Casey will also be sharing why your business does not have to be overwhelming, how she has taken consistent action, and what is possible for you in business when you give it your all. Key Takeaways:
[0:36] Let's take a moment to shout out some of the amazing #MWHPodcast reviews that listeners have left lately. I cannot thank you all enough for your 5 🌟 reviews!
[2:11] You know I absolutely LOVE a good success story, and today's episode is just that! I'm chatting with someone who has taken some huge leaps to grow her business.
[3:34] Today's guest is Casey Patch, a member of The Social Method Society. She has been in the Society for a while now, and I always see her taking consistent action, not running around as if she's overwhelmed, and she's a very intentional action-taker.
[4:31] You're going to love meeting Casey! She is a passionate teacher turned stay at home mum. Casey loved teaching but lost her contract when she fell pregnant with her first child. She decided to start making her own “printables” to help support her family's income. These “printables” support parents who want to learn playfully with their children.
[7:41] Casey knew that she wanted to turn her hobby into a business and so she put her head down and put in the work to grow her business. She realised that it was time to get serious, shifted her mindset and invested to set a solid foundation for her biz. That foundation was my online course, Hashtag Hustle!
[12:39] As a business owner, Casey has always valued personal development. Before she joined The Social Method Society, Casey's work/life balance was terrible because she tended to work 24/7 in any pocket of time.
[16:06] Casey decided to go all in and developed an ideal work week with specific tasks that she must complete during that set time. This is called time blocking. Casey's Ideal Work Week
She invested in family daycare 2 days per week so she could work uninterrupted. This was ideal so she could focus on mum life for the rest of the week and then only working during naptime. Now, Casey works 3 days a week unless during launches.
[19:38] Casey used to suffer from imposter syndrome. She wants Mums With Hustle Podcast listeners to never compare yourself to others and their journey. You need to realise that you are an expert in your field and you only need to be a few steps ahead of your ideal customer. You’ve been in their shoes - how can you help them? Be the support you wish you had!
[23:39] Email marketing is actually a huge part of a successful Instagram marketing strategy. Casey used to hate writing emails. However, once she realised she could do her own thing with her email ...
If You Only Have 30 Minutes on Instagram Today... Do This!
I often get asked, “Tracy, if I only have 30 minutes to spend on Instagram. What should I do?” As an Instagram strategist, I wish I could sit down with my tribe to chat about IG over a smoothie bowl.
I know that isn't possible. So I really want you to walk away from this episode knowing what the one thing you should do with your next 30 minutes on Instagram actually is.
Are you open to getting out of your comfort zone so you can welcome growth? If not, you may let your Instagram ego get in the way of this strategy. KICKING YOUR EGO TO THE CURB When we get our Instagram ego out of the way, we're actually able to create content that helps people. Content that allows people to acquire some new form of knowledge, have something they didn't have before, become something, do something, progress in some sort of way, or maybe it simply helps them feel a certain way.
All of those things are ways to HELP your audience. When you take yourself out of the picture, you will see that you really do have so much to offer your tribe.
The simple strategy of teaching something back via IGTV is what we're going to dive into today - just you, me, and some Instagram strategising. A dream come true 😍 KEY TAKEAWAYS:
[0:38] Mums With Hustle is an online movement and community for ambitious women, like you and I. Women who say yes to taking charge of their life so they can do what they love with a business that gives them total freedom!
[2:16] I'm going to be sharing and teaching you about a particular Instagram success story that you can replicate and apply to your own business. So, I have to ask... Are you open to getting out of your comfort zone so you can welcome growth?
[2:53] Huge shoutout to two MWH Podcast listeners - Alyssa (@takethereinsvirtualsolutions) and Linda (@mountaindreads)! Thank you so much for your positive reviews. You both have lit me up.
[4:34] I often get asked, “Tracy, if I only have 30 minutes to spend on Instagram. What should I do?” I really want you to walk away from this episode knowing what you should do with your next 30 minutes on Instagram.
[5:25] Here is the scoop... IGTV! It's so hot right now. Back in episode 178, I discussed how you can leverage the power of IGTV. If you have 30 minutes to spend on Instagram, I want you to get on and experiment with creating yourself an IGTV video.
[6:43] In episode 184, I shared with you three types of content that will grow your blog or podcast... but that's not all it's going to grow. These types of content can also be shared on other platforms, so listen to that episode with IGTV in mind. A Social Method Society Member's Incredible Instagram Results [7:37] What I'm going to share today has helped one of my members in The Social Method Society, and she has experienced an incredible result by sharing one IGTV video. Check Alice out at @aliceinhealthyland on Instagram!
[8:50] With a subtle adjustment, Alice's latest IGTV was able to clock over 9K views and she has received a bunch of comments. Plus, a bunch of her followers have also tagged their friends as well. Yes! Her followers were introducing Alice as an authority in her niche.
[10:00] So what did Alice do differently this time? Well, taking inspiration from Episode 184, Alice shared a video where she was teaching something. She was teaching something back that would help her audience!
[11:14] Lean into the discomfort because if you're feeling uncomfortable about something, then it's leading to growth.
[12:42] I encourage you to think about a piece of content that teaches back something that you know or something that you have been able to move through to help someone in your own experience.
[14:02] You need to be turning up with intention on Instagram. Imagine it! Every time you turn up on IG, your following is growing, you're building your email list, etc.
Turning A Food Blog Into Her Business
Entrepreneurship should be fun! Can you imagine what would happen if we all took ourselves less seriously? What content would you put out into the world that you actually have fun creating? Would this lead you to turning your “hobby” or your blog into your actual business?
That's what happened for today's podcast guest who put a video onto her Facebook Page just for fun... It was only when she uploaded another recipe video that went viral with 50K views in just three days, that Vanya Insull, of VJ Cooks, knew she could monetise her recipes through a food blog.
“I kind of did the food blogging backwards because I had my Facebook Page first, then I had so much demand for the recipes that I had to create a website to store them on.”
This insane demand could be your reality, too, if you just had a little fun, put something out there, and saw if it stuck!
I have the pleasure of mentoring Vanya within my private academy The Social Method Society. She is a recipe queen who is always keen to explore new ways to market her business online. Vanya is a Kiwi mum of two young boys, living in NZ. She is an amazing food blogger who loves to share family friendly recipes with her social media following.
During this episode, Vanya is sharing with us how she has been able to grow such a loyal and engaged following on her blog, Facebook and Instagram. Plus, Vanya is a content goddess who is repurposing her blog content to save time and work efficiently! Key Takeaways:
[3:02] Vanya is a food blogger who comes from the glam world of magazine design. She used to be an Art Director on Cleo and Good Health plus Taste magazine, which is where her passion for food comes from. Vanya's business VJ Cooks started from her making a little video on her phone making a recipe with veggies from her garden with her young son helping.
[5:41] As one of the go to food and recipe bloggers in NZ with a fun and engaged community, Vanya put up a recipe for Mango Pavlova just before Christmas 2016 and it got 50K views in 3 days. She had another video go viral with over 2 million views.
[7:26] Vanya didn't make any money from her business within the first year even though her videos went viral. However, Vanya invested time in creating such great content for her community that it became so much easier to monetise her food blog.
[09:06] It's amazing that Vanya did not delay getting a brand. You should always start where you're at!
[10:29] Vanya can actually tell if a video is going to convert well based on the reaction it receives within the first hour of posting it. She then knows which recipes she should immediately post on her blog.
[10:58] What differences do Vanya find in her audience between Facebook and Instagram?
[12:06] When Vanya began marketing on Instagram, she had to change her way of thinking as she used the platform. HOW VANYA USES IG
Vanya is posting frequently. She's including HERSELF in her IG marketing strategy. On her Instagram account, Vanya is dedicated to keeping it authentic - especially in her IG Stories.
[14:30] Vanya knows exactly what core content converts - recipes! She's excited to share how she repurposes her content to re-use later. HOW VANYA REPURPOSES HER BLOG CONTENT
Sometimes Vanya cooks a recipe on her IG Stories. Then she will type up the recipe and share it as a post on her IG Feed with a call-to-action for her followers to Save it. Next, Vanya will put the recipe on her website and then share it again. Vanya also saves her whole IG Stories roll from the entire day, which she then trims to use to create evergreen IGTV content. She shares each recipe as a post on Facebook with the image link. During the recipe process, Vanya takes a lot of photos of the food during cooking and of the finished dish so that she can keep sharing it among all of her social channels.
How You Should Really Feel When Someone Unsubscribes or Unfollows
In the earlier days of my business, particularly the first year, there was one thing that used to bother, shake and derail me when it came to my email list or Instagram followers. I'm talking about those dreaded unsubscribes and unfollows!
I'd go from high-vibe to low-vibe and experience some serious self-doubt... Especially because this would happen even if I was sharing the three types of content that grows your blog or podcast.
Truthfully, unsubscribers and unfollowers are just a part of life in this digital age. And I did have to strengthen my mindset to actually see the positives whenever this would happen - that all of those unsubscribers and unfollowers were actually a blessing.
In today's podcast episode, I'm going to explain how you should really feel when someone unsubscribes or unfollows you. Key Takeaways:
[1:39] There is one thing that always brought me down and had me questioning what I'm doing... but now it has me high-vibing and doing a little happy dance.
[2:23] I'm shouting out a few members inside of my private academy The Social Method Society. These ladies are using Instagram to capture leads and have record breaking revenue months!
[3:53] The one thing that used to get me down has a lot to do with email marketing and Instagram, and it's the dreaded moment when someone unsubscribes or unfollows.
[4:10] I'm not talking about the people who go quietly. I'm talking about the people who feel the need to tell you why they're unsubscribing or unfollowing you before they actually depart.
[4:52] Most people do not know how to give good feedback. It often comes off personal and critical or in a chastising manner.
[5:55] Your vibe attracts your tribe. I always say that the more you fly your freak flag early, the more you'll attract people who are truly for you.
[07:00] One of the times that comes to mind was when someone had disgust in me using the term “lovely”. She let me know that she was going to leave and find someone who is going to talk to her with respect. It really bothered me for awhile, and I thought about toning down my language and expression. But then I got to a point where I thought bugger it. That's me in my everyday life!
[8:38] When you meet your online audience in real life, isn't it amazing to feel like you can just be yourself?
[10:11] A friend of mine also received an exit email because she used “OMG” in an email and it greatly offended a person. We're all different. We don't have to be for everybody. There's greatness and opportunity in releasing the people who are not for us. IF SOMEONE UNSUBSCRIBES OR UNFOLLOWS [11:30] I'm totally okay if people want to leave my tribe. I wish them all the love and light in the world, and there is a community and mentor out there for them. I hope they do well. And I let them know they're welcome back anytime.
[12:07] I know you put so much effort into writing your emails and Instagram posts, so it can hurt when someone gives you that criticism. It can especially hurt in the early stages when your numbers are going up and down like a yo-yo. It's way easier, far less exhausting, and so much more fun when you relax and own who you are.
Start introducing your own -isms into how you speak, your messaging, and be yourself! Create a Nice Things folder and focus on the compliments. Don't focus on the critics! Focus on the supporters and the one's you are serving.
[15:01] I hope me sharing this truth with you helps you feel less alone when you're in those early stages and people are unsubscribing and unfollowing. If you're inspired to do a happy dance next time someone unfollows or unsubscribes to you, please jump onto your IG Stories and dance it out! I would love to hear from you. Remember when you tag me (@mumswithhustle) in your IG Stories, I get a DM. I love reposting as many of the things I get tagged...
How She Took Her Health Practise From Offline To Online
Motherhood can be a challenging and overwhelming journey - especially if you have an online business. It's easy to shy away from talking about the changes that come, physically and mentally, after you become a mum. In addition, there's a certain stigma around these issues, so you rarely hear these changes spoken about.
However, I'm never one to shy away from these types of discussions, and neither are the members in my private academy the Social Method Society. We've nurtured a community where we can be vulnerable. Honest Conversation I believe when we open the door for real, honest communication, we'll be able to reach a certain level of empowerment. We can feel confident talking about our bodies and mental health without shame or embarrassment.
Laura Callea felt the same way when she realised many mothers did not know the right information when it came to safe exercise during pregnancy and preventing common pelvic floor issues. She expressed that she felt like she was limited in her ability to only help a certain number of women each week at the clinic she worked at. In her heart, Laura knew that there were so many other women out there that she needed to serve.
“I felt that I had a responsibility to make sure that less and less women were coming into the clinic after birth saying, 'I wish I had known about safe exercises during my pregnancy!'.”
Laura is a women’s health physiotherapist who felt the urge to create an online community to help women better understand their bodies. She started small by focussing solely on pregnancy with her online blog Physio Laura. Since then, Laura has expanded into her online pregnancy membership program, The Pregnancy Posse.
Today Laura is sharing how she took her health practise from offline to online, how she niched down, and how she keeps her ego in check so that she can serve her audience. Key Takeaways:
[5:26] Laura is a women’s health physiotherapist with a passion for helping women during pregnancy and after birth. She is motivated to empower and educate women to understand their bodies better and make informed decisions.
[8:36] Before taking her offline business online, Laura knew she didn't want to park her ideas just because she felt afraid.
[11:02] Laura never identified herself as an entrepreneur. Do you feel the same way? Do you identify as more of a small business owner? Well, guess what... If you creating something where there was once nothing, then you're an entrepreneur! The Stigma [13:18] There is a certain stigma that surrounds talking about recovery after birth, returning safely to exercise and work - even as a stay at home mum.
[17:57] As mothers we are so focused on our babies that we put our self-care and health in second (or third or fourth!) place and don’t address common postnatal injuries or weakness until much later down the track.
[18:38] Laura is all about helping women regain confidence in their own bodies by educating them about the physical changes that happen during pregnancy and childbirth so that they have a really good understanding about why they may be feeling the way they are.
[22:55] Something you must keep in mind is that when you look after yourself, you're looking after your family! It's important to prioritise yourself.
You can incorporate self-care and exercise into your routine without overloading your already full cup. Some examples are by doing your pelvic floor exercises whilst feeding, stretching whilst your baby plays on the floor, drinking water whilst feeding your baby, etc.
[26:09] You are not for everyone, and everyone is not for you. This is such a powerful concept to grasp. It can be very liberating once you realise that it's okay that some people will not like you or connect with your products/offerings. On the flip-side there are just as many people who love what you are about and what you do.
3 Types of Content That Will Grow Your Blog or Podcast
Core content is the content we create that truly shapes our brand. Inside of the Social Method Society, we teach blogging, podcasting, and vlogging because I highly recommend business owners have a core content platform as part of their digital strategy.
The truth is that content marketing is undeniably the most effective marketing strategy of our time. If you think about it, you're probably already doing some form of content marketing for your business. Whether you’re creating content for Instagram and Facebook, sharing blog posts, writing captivating emails for your list, etc.
In some way, shape or form, I guarantee you're putting out content.
Now, the thing is... When your core content is done well it can take your business into a whole new realm of success.
That's right. I said it!
Behind every successful brand is a core content strategy that ensures your marketing efforts actually pay off. If you're interested in more information about the ins and outs of creating a robust content marketing strategy that converts, make sure you check out my podcast episode with Liz O'Donnell.
In today's podcast episode, I'm going to share three highly effective content ideas to help you grow your blog or podcast listenership. Key Takeaways:
[1:16] It takes a lot of mindset work to be able to commit to publishing regular content. You begin to wonder if anyone is going to really read or listen. A lot of people start putting out content and then they stop because of various reasons.
[2:17] Today, I'm sharing three types of content that will help you overcome writer's blog and and actually see growth in your content source. These content ideas can really be applied to any niche.
[3:18] My first content idea is to create content that would position you as a teacher. For example, a step-by-step walkthroughs, recipes, how to tips, etc. The primary objective of this content is to help someone by teaching them.
[4:13] Remember that imposter syndrome seems to pop-up sometimes when you're teaching. Your mind will try to play tricks on you. This is your inner mean girl and you have to be aware that you don't need to be listening to this voice in your head. You're teaching back what you know because it worked for you and that's going to help your audience.
[6:48] My second content idea is to post an opinion piece. This content idea is not for the faint hearted. Things You Should Know About Opinion Pieces
Opinion pieces have the ability to go viral. It's easy to get around anyone with strong counter opinions by using a call-to-action to ask your followers to share their own opinion. Use this content idea if you're passionate about getting your message out there, while ruffling a few feathers. Also, opinion pieces don't always have to be controversial.
[9:35] My third and final content idea is the interview! This is a good one because it allows you the extra opportunity for cross promotion.
Put a call out to see if anyone would like to be interviewed on your podcast or blog. Make sure you include what the mission of your blog/podcast is about, who is your audience, and who is the type of person you are looking for. You could always just approach someone that you admire and ask them if you could interview them. Start small, initiate the conversation, and ask if they're interested in hearing more.
[11:28] Interview style content allows for cross promotion because that's the etiqutte when you feature someone! It allows you to introduce both parties to a new audience.
[11:56] The interview process does not have to be fancy. I recommend you start out with 5-8 questions and no more than that, so that your guest can give deeper responses.
[12:32] Make sure you give your guests some guidelines or criteria to work with. Put a word limit to each response and a deadline.
Behind The Scenes of a 6 Figure Instagram Business
Have you ever wondered if you really can have it all? Do you often feel like you're hustling every minute of every single day while trying to grow your Instagram business? Are you making the most out of nap-time or burning the midnight oil more often than not for little to no reward?
Amie-Jane Hankinson hustled day and night and went back to working full-time hours when her littlest was only a few weeks old. While she was super passionate about what she was doing, she was also extremely overwhelmed and suffering from post natal depression (PND).
Her business, Growing Kind, was born in the midst of her darkest days. Amie wanted to create a supportive community for mothers who were feeling overwhelmed (just like her) so that she could show these women ways that they can reconnect with their children through play.
“I'm financially abundant and money comes to me naturally,” is just one affirmation that Amie has on her wall in a place that she sees everyday.
This particular mindset shift and her overall growth mindset has led Amie to grow her Instagram following to over 30,000 followers and earn over six-figures of income.
Today, Amie is showing you that you really can have it all! Amie's sharing how she smashed through her self-limiting beliefs, about money and success, in order to see significant growth in her Instagram business so you can do the same. Key Takeaways:
[4:38] Amie is the sole creator and director of Growing Kind. She is a mum who dreams of sleeping through the night and drinking her hot coffee in one sitting! Amie is a huge advocate for play, with a love for authentic learning experiences, and a huge appreciation for the raw beauty of nature.
[9:50] A few months into starting her Instagram business, Amie started to feel as if she was working every second of every day. Her family soon came to a breaking point, and Amie knew something HAD to change or else she was going to need to give up again.
[14:15] You need to push past your limiting beliefs and your imposter syndrome. Once you have 100% belief in yourself, you will feel empowered to make the decisions that will lead you to where you want to be.
[16:10] It's easy to look at someone with a large following size and assume that it happened over night or that they've been in business for years. Amie has grown her following from 500 to over 30.1K in 15 months.
[17:39] When Amie began using Instagram, she was very salesy. But she soon learned that selling without serving does not work! Amie then changed her mindset around Instagram by doing these three things:
Posting consistently once a day and tracking when her audience was most engaged using the Instagram insights. Amie began viewing IG as a platform to share her knowledge and inspire mothers to live a more balanced life; rather than viewing it as a sales platform. She began collaborating a lot with like minded businesses while using hashtags with intent.
[21:00] It's important to make friendships on Instagram. Don't constantly work within the same circle! You want to be able to tap into new audiences, so be open to collaborate with women from all over the world. That is when your reach will be amplified!
[22:30] Seeing your Instagram following convert into sales is such a great feeling! Amie uses Google Analytics to track where her sales are coming from. She was extremely surprised to seeing that most of her sales were actually coming from her Instagram Stories where she's extremely authentic.
[24:23] It is proven that 80% of our success comes from our environment. When you surround yourself with people who believe in the impossible, it makes things possible for you.
[27:19] Hard work does not necessarily equal fantastic results. Sometimes it's the opposite! Amie has had to break through the conditional thinking that money is hard to get.

How did Nicole begin to visualise her product offerings before launching? What steps did Nicole take? Why should you validate your idea before investing in inventory and marketing? What will having a good sketch of your idea help with?
Begin to cost product. Create samples. Work with vendors who will actually take you seriously.
Key Points We Discussed:

Taking The Pressure Off Start-Up Entrepreneurs
Business is not always easy even though there is a glamourised version of entrepreneurship that exists.
It's important to me to get real honest with you about what the start-up phase really looks like from an entrepreneur who has been right there in the trenches.
If you love this episode, you'll really enjoy MWH 151 : When Motherhood Meets Entrepreneurship. I recommend giving it a listen! LET'S GET INTO IT Today I want to talk to you about something that you experienced in your business startup journey (or you may still be feeling it), and I'm talking about pressure.
This episode is going to be a bit of a heart to heart because I care so much about your state of mind and I want you to be so very successful! 1. STARTING A BUSINESS I started my business because I wanted to have the freedom to mother and parent how I wanted to. In this section, I'm chatting about why I started my business and what freedoms I craved.
Key Points I Discussed:
What is the maternal wall? What freedoms were very important to me?
Creative. Time. Financial.
Why do most of the women in my tribe start their business? What did the early days of starting my business look like? 2. TAKING THE PRESSURE OFF Most of the time, the pressures that we feel are ones that we put on ourself. In this section, I'm discussing what makes deadlines great and what makes deadlines not so great.
Key Points I Discussed:
How are some deadlines great? What negatives do time bound success deadlines cause? How long does it take to be successful?
What is your definition of success? Entrepreneurship is a journey. It takes as long as it takes.
Why is it important to set milestones? How does support matter when you're an entrepreneur? In what ways would you show up in your business if money, time, and confidence wasn't an issue? WRAP UP Keep in mind that starting a business is not something that you should set time bound success deadlines on. Entrepreneurship is a journey. Your success is inevitable if you're in it for the long-term. Find yourself a supportive community.
I'd love to know what success looks like to you! Tag me in your IG Stories (@mumswithhustle) telling me and maybe I'll repost you. CONNECT WITH ME

The Importance of Passion In Unlocking Your Mindset
Once you have passion in place in your business then you can go deeper into your mindset and use your time to explore and enjoy the adventure that you’ve began as an entrepreneur. Being successful in business is a process that evolves over time!
So if you're keen to ignite your passion by keeping your lights switched on, then today's episode is going to be a game-changer for you! LET'S GET INTO IT Today's guest is Julia Black! Julia is a BAFTA and Grierson nominated documentary maker, social entrepreneur and innovator in education and CEO of Explorium. For the past 10 years she has been learning about how we unleash the human potential and tap into our 'divergent genius'. Initially this was to solve the immediate problem she faced as a parent, which was the glass ceiling on her own two children's education.
Through her Creative Learning Centre, she worked closely with schools and realised that no matter what the external environment was like, what really unlocked the brilliance inside people was empowering them to tap into learning from the inside out. After analysing what worked and didn't work for 1000s of children, she created Lights On®, a transformational learning framework that places the ownership of learning firmly in the hands of the 'learner' so they can achieve extraordinary outcomes. THE RECAP During this episode, Julia is going to share why passion is a key factor when it comes to unlocking your mindset, how to figure out what you're passionate about, and various ways to reignite your passion in business! 1. Introducing Julia! Julia is seriously incredible, and I cannot wait for you to see why I invited her onto the podcast!
Key Points We Discussed:
Who is Julia? What is Julia's biz journey? How did Julia found her biz? 2. Children + Passion We are all born with genius inside us and over time that gets educated out of us. In this section, Julia is sharing what happens when our children's lights go off and how it impacts their learning.
Key Points We Discussed:
Why is it important to help children identify and develop their passions? How do children become disconnected from their passions? Why are children passive learners? Why is passion so important for children? 3. Finding Your Passion Anyone who is running their own business needs to be passionate about what they are doing - otherwise it is going to feel like a job. But a job you can’t leave at the end of the day! In this section, Julia is sharing the ONE question she asks her clients to help them find and unlock their passion.
Key Points We Discussed:
Why should you be passionate about what you're doing in business? How can you figure out what you're passionate about?
Answer this question: What is it that switches on your lights? Define what having your lights on means to you. Get clear on what things switch your lights on and what really turns them off. Based on this very quick and easy analysis, you can then start to design strategies to make sure that you are in your lights on zone.
What if you don't know where your passions lie?
Look back to when you were younger. Remember a time in your life when you really felt alive and empowered by what you were doing.
Key Points We Discussed:
Why does Julia believe passion is a key factor when it comes to unlocking one’s mindset? What is it about passion that is so game-changing in entrepreneurship? What is the importance of getting the parallel circuit in place? How does Julia recommend smashing through your self-limiting belifes to unlock your mindset?
Leverage The Power of IGTV on Instagram
Back in June of 2018 there was a live launch of Instagram TV (IGTV) by Instagram... it was a huge launch and everyone questioned whether or not IG was going to be the same. The last time we felt this way about IG was when they launched IG Stories.
Flash forward and Instagram is now better than ever because of IG Stories and IGTV!
If you've ever wondered how you can use Instagram TV to grow your brand presence and business on Instagram, then this is one episode you do not want to miss! LET'S GET INTO IT I'm excited about this episode because we're talking about one of my favorite topics... Instagram! If you're interested in learning more about Instagram Marketing, consider listening to 3 Of Your Instagram Marketing Questions Answered.
During this episode, we're getting specific and diving the power of IGTV. There are so many ways for you to be using Instagram TV to grow your brand presence and business on Instagram. 1. The Low Down on Instagram TV Truthfully, I'm an early adopter of really anything Instagram. I think IGTV is a great way to create more compelling content to engage your audience. Think about it... Engaging content is what social media is all about, so Instagram TV is SO worth utilising.
Key Points I Discussed:
What is IGTV?
Instagram TV.
What is the purpose of Instagram TV?
Allows content creators to upload high quality, long-form, vertical videos.
Why is Instagram always working on improving IGTV? What are the average lengths of uploads?
A minimum of 15 seconds and up to 10 minutes for MOST accounts. Some accounts are allowed up to 60 minutes.
Key Points I Discussed:
How have my IGTV views improved? What is the significance of Instagram sharing a one-minute preview of your IGTV on your Feed? What types of content can you share on Instagram TV?
Podcast snippets. Recipes. Reading your blog.
Key Points I Discussed:
What are the pros of IGTV?
Builds relationships faster. Evergreen content. Insights for your videos. You can use hashtags on your IGTV when you share your video into your Feed!
What are the cons of IGTV?
The video formatting is vertical. No filters. No ability to add music or video effects. All of these things need to be done in other video editing apps. How discoverable you are through IGTV.

The #1 Thing You Can’t Afford To Overlook During Online Launches
The “hard work pays off” mentality is an ideology that is SO counterproductive. When you stop taking time for yourself, this mentality becomes counterproductive.
You become drained. Your skills are lacking (even in your zone of genius). You find it hard to focus...
The truth is that you might believe you’re working hard, but you’re not working efficiently and that's because you're not making time for self-care. No matter how fancy it may sound, self-care is pivotal for our physical, mental, and emotional well-being! LET'S GET INTO IT I'm very passionate about self-care, especially self-care for entrepreneurs. Launch season is always such a busy time, so it's incredibly important to remember to fill your cup - that way you can continue to show up for your tribe as your best self. 1. Putting Self-Care First Self-care isn't just for one day of the week! Self-care during launches is so important, and it's very easy during a busy period to let your self-care slip.
Key Points I Discussed:
Why is it easy to be all consumed in a launch?
You think there is no time. You feel overwhelmed.
How can you be proactive rather than reactive? Why should you view self-care as a journey? 2. What do I do for self-care? When the self-care is lacking, that's when I notice the mean girl in my head speaks to me a lot louder, imposter syndrome pops up, and it becomes more difficult to operate from a place of service. So I'm excited to share with you what I do for self-care during my launches!
Key Points I Discussed:
What self-care things do I do during launches?
My hair was washed at the salon with a blow dry, once a week over two weeks. I scheduled in getting my color done, as well. The pampering continued with a mani, pedi, a waxing treatment, and even a henna tattoo. Time was scheduled into my calendar for my friends and socializing, which became a non-negotiable. I ate well, with intention.
What do I have to work on during my next launch?
I need to incorporate more exercise!
WRAP UP I would love for you to pull out your calendar or diary and schedule in some self-care! It does not have to be something that costs money. It could be carving out time for exercise, planning a healthy menu, taking a longer bath, or getting your outfits ahead of time. There are so many amazing (and sometimes boring) things that you can do for self-care that will leave you feeling your best! CONNECT WITH ME

Introducing Melanie! Melanie is seriously amazing, and I love her mindset around manifestation and abundance!
Key Points We Discussed:
Who is Melanie? What is Melanie's biz journey? How did Melanie found her biz? 2. Tapping Tapping is best described as a cross between acpuncture and psychology, but instead of needles we use our fingers to stimulate accupressure points. As we talk and tap, we are sending calming signals to the part of the brain that controls the fight or flight response. In this section, Melanie is discussing what tapping is and how to use it to your advantage.

3 Of Your Instagram Marketing Questions Answered
Instagram is my jam! I love that IG is undeniably one of the most important social media channels around because it allows you to engage and get to know your ideal customer on a deeper level.
There's a lot of information out there in the blogosphere about Instagram marketing, so today I'm clearing the air about three common IG questions that will blow your mind. LET'S GET INTO IT What things in particular are you struggling with when it comes to marketing on Instagram and online? This is the question I ask the lovely ladies on my email list, so today I'm answering three of the most common questions that I've been asked by them. 1. What is the best way to encourage engagement with your post without sounding desperate? The truth is that we need to work on our Instagram and entrepreneurial mindset. This is something I am so passionate about helping my podcast listeners and my students inside of the Social Method Society. I want them to begin to master their thought patterns and behaviour; to create new empowering beliefs that create the experience they desire!
Key Points I Discussed:
Why do you need to start paying attention to the thoughts that you have?
Dr. Joe Dispenza tells us that we think 60-70,000 thoughts a day and 90% of our thoughts are the same thoughts that we had yesterday!
How can you smash through your limiting beliefs? How do you feel about using CTAs?
CTAs are not desperate. Reframe this mindset, and view it as a different behaviour. Then you'll get the outcome that you desire.
Key Points I Discussed:
Why do you need to be focussing on your big vision?
You get clear and can work backwards from there.
What is the importance of getting clear behind your why?
Get to the point where you have a deeper why behind what you do. Your customers are buying the WHY, not the what.
Why do you need to know who you're serving?
Understanding your ideal customer is part of the ingredients in growing a successful brand. This is part of your business plan.
What is the importance of getting clear on your brand messaging and visual vibe? Why should you be setting yourself up for success on Instagram? 3. How do you manage to stop letting social media rule your life? We all need to be coming back to knowing where Instagram or Facebook fits into our overall strategy. Often we can procrastinate on social media because we don't know what other parts of the online marketing puzzle we should be working on. In this section, I share how to stop letting social media rule your life.
Key Points I Discussed:
Why do you need someone to empower you with knowledge?
You'll start making more money by leading your audience OFF the 'gram!
How can you change your thinking when it comes to posting? Why it is important to have a clear pathway on IG?
Business becomes fun! Instagram marketing also becomes fun because it works for you!
Who are some examples of success?
Anna from @betty.bluebelle did a post that she got 50 likes, BUT that post got 6 people to sign up to her email list... organically! That's so amazing. Vanessa from @littleleather.com.au recently set herself up with email marketing and implemented a welcome sequence designed to convert into sales... and she woke up to sales. She's making money while she sleeps!

A chillpreneur is someone who chooses the path of least resistance, who doesn’t try to be everything to everyone.
How can you be a Chillpreneur?
Know thyself - know your personality. What makes you tick, what triggers your money blocks and what makes you feel good. Believe that there’s enough for everyone, including YOU.
“You have to work really hard to money.” “I can’t be successful AND a good mother.” “I can help people or make money - but not both”
What are Denise's top tips to breakthrough these mindset blocks in order to open yourself up to higher levels of income and impact?What steps can women in business take to start making more money in their business?
Get focused on income producing activities. Embrace passive income - even just small to start. Outsource and delegate - you CAN do it all yourself (you’re a mum after all) but you SHOULDN’T!
Get lots of help - as much as you can afford, borrow or beg. Don’t let your partner off the hook, even when your business isn’t make much money at first. Don’t feel guilty about building your biz - this is abundance for your family - and an outlet for you.

How To Grow A 6 Figure Business Using Instagram
There are women kicking ass in business, being more present for their families, travelling and funding family holidays, retiring their husbands from corporate, women who are sole parents raising children on their own terms and doing an awesome job of being present and providing more than enough through the income their business generates for them simply by using Instagram.
In today's podcast, I'm sharing with you HOW you can join these women and build the business of your dreams. LET'S GET INTO IT On to today's episode, I'm going to blow your mind with some epic success stories of mums using Instagram to build their 6 figure business AND I'm going to share with you the three KEY areas that you need to know and implement in order to do the same. 1. Instagramming Like An Entrepreneur I am so passionate about teaching women ORGANIC growth strategies when it comes to online marketing, particularly Instagram! If you love what you're learning in this episode, check out the Three Mistakes You're Making On Instagram.
Key Points I Discussed:
Why you shouldn't get stuck on collecting followers? How is Emma Instagramming like an entrepreneur?
She made $1250 off of her lowest ever performing post and at the time she shared her win inside of the Social Method Society, she was also fairly confident that it would result in a further $650 in sales! Her post got 28 likes. She has 609 followers. Emma has a service based business. You can check her out at @theurbanwildnz!
How is Stevie Instagramming like an entrepreneur?
She launched a new product and sold out in only 34 minutes! She has 1749 followers. Stevie has a e-commerce based business. You can check her out at @homiesandco!

Build an audience. Have an offer. Lead people to the sale.
How can key areas one and two be flipped around? Why you must understand that bigger followings don't mean squat?
More likes do not equal more business. Businesses that aren't making revenue are simply hobbies.

3 Mistakes You're Making On Instagram
Instagram is PART of your customer journey, it's not the final destination. Sometimes it's easy to get fall down an Instagram rabbit hole and start overthinking and comparing your account to another biz babe's.
What you need to know is that, how you think about and use Instagram to share your story and build your business is what matters the most.
In today's podcast episode, I'm sharing the three mistakes you're making on Instagram and how to level up your game on the 'Gram by building, serving, and leading your audience with love!
Let’s get into it!
A huge part of my online marketing strategy which I call the Social Method (hence why I created my membership, the Social Method Society), is leveraging the power of Instagram.
Instagram is an amazing social media platform. I hope you’re on there and if not, do yourself a favour and get on Instagram. 1. Switch to A Business Profile If you’re on Instagram for business, but you’re operating on a personal profile, I really urge you to stop delaying it, stop thinking about it and make the switch.
Be on Instagram as a business profile because that’s who you are. You’re a boss lady and a business. Not only do you get to be known as that, but you’ll also get access to a bunch of tools that only business owners get access to.
However, it’s not the biggest mistake business owners are making and it’s not about taking good picture.
The quality of your photos on Instagram is not the be all and end all of having a successful Instagram strategy. What comes before your aesthetic, is your audience! And not being clear on who you are marketing to on the 'Gram is the BIGGEST mistake business owners make. 2. Know Your Audience What comes before all of that is your audience. This is the biggest mistake or what people are overlooking on Instagram - not being clear who they are marketing to.
I’m talking about your target market, your customer avatar, your soulmate client, your perfect follower, your ideal customer. Whatever you wanna call them... these are the people who you are trying to connect with.
It’s very important and it’s a core milestone that we cover inside of Stage 1: Social Beginnings of Success Path inside of my Social Method Society. There are some core foundations that we need to have in place, not just to work or leverage Instagram most effectively, but so we’re operating as a business as well. Knowing your audience and ideal client will drive everything in your business. Understanding your “WHO” - who you are talking to.
Why should you be clear on who you are marketing to on the 'Gram? What goes into operating as a successful business on Instagram?
Being able to curate a bio that attracts the right people and repels the wrong ones. Knowing what content to start experimenting with in your feed.
If you’re in a business profile, you’ll get access to analytics which shows you what post gets the most saves, what post gets the highest engagement or the most amount of views. This reveals so much about your audience.
Understanding how to get found and make yourself visible to your audience.
This helps you with your hashtag strategy or location tags which is important to your Instagram growth.
Bringing a level of intention to your content that serves your audience.
Asks your followers questions, jump into Instagram stories and start conversations. Invite them to interact with you so you will get to know who you are talking to). Once you know who you’re talking to, you have to bring a level of intention into the work that you’re creating. So that it serves your audience. It means getting a bit uncomfortable because your audience may wanna see your face more. If the insights show that people love it when you take selfies, that’s one thing you gotta work on. It means you gotta show up more. It means not Instagramming with your ego and not having a beautiful feed as your strategy.
How To Get Free Editorial For Your Biz
We all want to elevate our businesses, and the quickest way to do this is by getting our business out there and in front of as many targeted eyeballs as possible!
When your products are placed in front of a targeted audience, you're immediately put in front of a warm, interested audience that would not only love what you're offering, but may also love you and your tribe. LET'S GET INTO IT I'm all about leveraging the free to grow our start-ups and our businesses, and I'm also all about collaboration. So I'm really excited to jump into today's episode because we're going to be talking all things editorial.
Today's guest is Nicole Ray! Nicole is the Owner and Editor of Minty Magazine- Australia's only publication dedicated to celebrating Children's interior design. THE RECAP During this episode, Nicole is going to share expert tips on how to receive free editorial for your business, how to make the perfect pitch and the best ways to begin a collaboration.
Make sure you grab a pen and paper because you're going to want to take notes. 1. Introducing Nicole! Nicole is amazing!
Key Points We Discussed:
Who is Nicole Ray? What is Nicole's biz journey? How did Nicole found her biz? 2. The Perfect Pitch Nicole's magazine is read by tens of thousands of people, which can be game-changing for the businesses featured in her magazine. In this section, we're talking submissions and pitches!
Key Points We Discussed:
What does it take for an entrepreneur to be published in Minty Magazine??
Follow the submission criteria (typically includes a press release or product information and images) Embrace your uniqueness. Minty Magazine is always looking for interesting brand stories, products supporting a cause, disruptors and innovators, as well good old-fashioned craftsmen and women creating beautiful products with love.
What creates a stand out submission or pitch?
Use professional images (provide high-resolution copies). Do your research before you submit. Follow the rules. Sell your product in your submission. Present your product in a different way. Thinking outside of the box will set you apart!
Key Points We Discussed:
What is the importance of building relationships?
Use social media as a platform to build relationships by commenting on posts or interacting with polls, questions on stories, etc. It will warm the publication up to you, and when you do make a submission there may already be a base to work from. Meet in person, if you have the chance! Pro Tip: “When we are receiving hundreds of submissions every week, any sort of existing relationship will help make you stand out.”
Why should you always have your submissions ready to go?
If a publication approaches you, they are often on deadline. If you can’t provide exactly what they need at that moment, chances are someone else will. Have images ready to go, know your elevator pitch like the back of you hand, and respond to their requests as quickly as you can.
What is the importance of pitching a story?
The quickest way to move up from a product feature to an editorial piece is to submit a unique narrative. Work on a detailed press release that could be easily manipulated into a blog post or magazine feature. Provide professional images and all of the product details in one go. Pro Tip: “If I receive something suitable that I can turn into content without even contacting the brand, it is a no brainer.”
When All You Wanna Do Is Procrastinate
A couple of weeks ago, I found myself wanting to procrastinate and not do the things that I knew would move the needle in my business.These are the tasks that are less sexy and a bit mechanical or technical. Procrastination shows up a lot for me when I'm working on something really purposeful.I know a lot of the women in my tribe can relate, so today I'm chatting all about procrastination and how you can overcome it!
LET'S GET INTO IT
This episode is for the ladies who want to do purposeful work, but find themselves procrastinating and thinking about all of the other things they could be doing with their time!If you are looking for a guide to uncovering and banishing self-sabotaging beliefs, then you should check out this episode here.
There are several types of procrastination that manifest for various reasons. In this section, I'm sharing several types of procrastination and why they show up. Here's a quick spoiler: Procrastination stems from fear!Key Points I Discussed:Does a past experience impact your actions?
This type of procrastination shows up when we want to avoid a situation.
Do you fear being judged?
This shows up when we are afraid to put something out there into the world because we don't want to be judged. Keep in mind that the less serious you take yourself, the more impact you can have in your business. Create affirmations to combat this fear!
Are you afraid of failing?
Look at children - They are approaching new experiences as if everything is play. One of my affirmations to combat my fear of failing is: Business if fun, business is light, business is playful.
Does part of your fear revolve around success?
Some people fear success because they're afraid of the limelight. Have you put a type of meaning around what success is? Fearing success is very common.
Do you fear completing tasks that are heavy to you?
Consider outsourcing. What does this look like if this was easy?
Do you fear asking for or receiving money?
Ask yourself questions about how you feel when you ask for the sale. Do you try to make the tasks harder because you believe money comes from hard work?
Being self aware is great! But how are you going to manage and overcome your procrastinating now that you know you're doing it? In this section, I'm sharing how I stop procrastinating so I can truly move the needle in my business.Key Points I Discussed:Ask yourself some questions:
Get to the bottom of what you're feeling. What about this task or project are you truly avoiding? What pain have I attached to this experience?
Is it even so?
Can you switch from being problem focused to being solutions focused? How can you invite ease into this situation?
Change your physical space:
Sometimes I'll change my scene three times in a day, or I'll even leave the house completely. Change your whole state and your energy by being in a different space.
Limit distractions and set a timer:
Put your phone somewhere else. Turn off notifications on your computer. Work in 20 minute chunks. The more time you have, the more time you have to waste procrastinating.
Go to your inner circle:
It helps to have a support network of women to go to that you can unpack your feelings to, so you can work through it.
Practical things that I do personally:
Meditate Pray Essential oils Exercise Get fresh air
WRAP UP
I hope this episode has really helped you let go of any guilt for carrying around procrastination. Try to pay more attention to the language we use about ourselves, our business, and what we're capable of.I challenge you to ask yourself some deeper questions to really get to the bottom of why you're pro...

In this section, I'm chatting with Karen about how women can improve their body image to become more comfortable sharing pictures of themselves online.
Key Points We Discussed:
How do you recommend mums in business improve their body image?
Accept health over weight. Brand your own body type. Put boundaries on your inner mean girl. Connect with your body by being present.
How are certain body types seen as “trends” because of marketing? Why should you own what you have and embrace it? 3.

two Current Instagram Myths Busted
It is my mission to always share with you the latest Instagram and online marketing strategies because I know how noisy it can be online with so many different resources floating around. As a mum with hustle, I know that you don't need to be wasting time on B.S. strategies! LET'S GET INTO IT I cannot wait to demystify some myths that are currently floating around being preached as truth regarding Instagram. When listening to this episode, keep in mind that your strategy on Instagram should always come down to your mission and your audience. 1. Hashtags The myth here is that you shouldn't be using hashtags at all... So wrong! You could say I'm a little hashtag #obsessed. I have an entire course dedicated to growing a business using hashtags because they do amazing things on IG (like helping you reach your soul mate followers!).
Key Points I Discussed:
How many hashtags should you actually use?
Use 30 hashtags because that's the maximum amount Instagram allows.
Where is the best place to put your hashtags?
In the comments section!
Key Points I Discussed:
Why should you be writing a caption? What should your caption length actually be?
Mix it up! Write some short captions. Share some longer blog type captions.
How do longer captions help you be rewarded by the algorithm? WRAP UP This episode of the Mums With Hustle Podcast is brought to you by The Social Method Society.

5 Cardinal Rules For Instagram Success
There are a lot of beautiful entrepreneurs who question their worth and their service based off of not getting enough followers, likes, etc. on IG. This lack mindset is doing so much damage...
How would your mindset change if you were set up for success on Instagram? LET'S GET INTO IT Today I'm sharing the 5 cardinal rules for Instagram Success, so you can make the most of your IG and truly grow an amazing online community that thrives. 1. Instagram Purpose What is your Instagram purpose? You must know your IG purpose, if you truly want to lay the groundwork to success!
Key Points I Discussed:
Why should you get clear on your Instagram purpose? How can you craft a content strategy that leads people on a journey to your end goal? 2. Be On IG For Business Make sure you're set up on Instagram as a Business Profile. This not only screams professional, but you're going to get access to some incredible and highly valuable Instagram features and tools.
Key Points I Discussed:
Why should you be set up on Instagram as a Business Profile? What are the benefits of being set up on IG for Business?
You get access to analytics. The ability to use email and contact buttons. Your posts can include shopping tags/tabs. IG for Business gives you additional opportunities to share links!
Key Points I Discussed:
What aspects of your life are you willing to show on the 'Gram? Why should you choose 2-3 areas of your personal life that you want to bring into your brand? How can you show these personal aspects of your life and brand without messing up your IG aesthetic?
IG Stories IGTV
Why do consumers want to see the face of the person they're interacting with? 4. Followers If you are leading from a place of true heart and service, if your content is geared at satisfying your audience and not yourself, you will see your numbers go up. Remember, where focus goes, energy flows!
Key Points I Discussed:
Why should you value every follower, but not obsess over the numbers? How is social media a long-term strategy? What is the importance of focussing on your followers and NOT the unfollowers? 5. Engage, Engage, Engage This might blow your mind, but posting is not the only way to be discovered on the 'Gram. You should be engaging more than you post!!
Key Points I Discussed:
Why should you engage more than you post? How often do you have to post?
You don't have to post everyday, but you DO have to engage with your audience and on the posts of others.
In what way will engaging help your target audience will see you? WRAP UP This episode of the Mums With Hustle Podcast is brought to you by The Social Method Society.

Okay, I can't hold it back anymore... LET'S GET INTO IT Today we're talking about a certain article that is going around on Facebook about what makes a good wife, and how these beliefs have really shaped how we view ourselves and our business. 1. Understand Your Beliefs I always say, “You are what you absorb!” In this section, we're talking about beliefs and how your beliefs are like a map that guides you towards living your best life and fuelling you to take action.
Key Points I Discussed:
What are you holding onto that is costing you your joy? What do your beliefs shape? How are our limiting beliefs harming us? 2. Replacing Old Beliefs The first step in replacing old, disempowering beliefs with new, empowering beliefs is to understand the five places our beliefs come from.

Why Would Anyone Be Interested In What You Have To Say
I often refer to authentic marketing or humanising your brand on IG and how it is more important now than ever. You need to get comfortable sharing who you are in your business and how that might look on IG. A lot of people are starting to understand this, but they're struggling to move past the barriers of fear which is showing up in all sorts of ways.
Mainly in the form of a lack of confidence with content and thinking, "Why would anyone be interested in what I have to say, after all it's just little ol' me.”
In today's podcast I'm sharing WHY your tribe IS interested in what you have to say. LET'S GET INTO IT In this mini-training, we're working on your mindset surrounding your confidence on Instagram so you feel more comfortable sharing who you are! 1. Break Through The Barriers I'm always telling my tribe to humanise their brand by sharing their story, their truth and to begin bringing humility to their marketing on Instagram and across all of their online marketing. However, there is always a huge resistance when it comes to actually showing up on IG and sharing your story because of a lack of confidence. In this section, I discuss several pieces of resistance that are holding you back and how you can start communicating with confidence.
Key Points I Discussed:
What pieces of resistance are holding you back? Why do you need to realise that you are not your thoughts? How to focus on serving your audience? 2. Connection Points When we humanise our brands, we stop being humanless entities and we start opening ourselves up for connections! You are worthy of sharing your story with other people! Don't withold information that could help just one person because your story is the start of connection points.
Key Points I Discussed: Get ready for a mini-exercise! What are the steps to the mini-exercise?
Write a list of your favorite Instagram accounts. Ask yourself why you follow them.
Why should you build an emotional connection? What are the benefits of forming emotional connections with your tribe? Some biz mum shoutouts:
Jewels from Milk and Cookies - @milkandcookiesbyjewels Jazze from The Calm Compound - @thecalmcompound Kate from Heritage Blankets - @heritageblankets Tash Guthrie from The Ambitious Mother - @tash_guthrie Amy from Playful Little Learners - @playfullittlelearners
Think of three things that people could have an emotional connection with you about. Write those three things down and take a picture or just DM me to tell me what they are.
Let's get you flexing your confidence muscle!
If you do take action, take a picture or speak to your camera in your IG Stories and tell me the three connections you want to share with your audience. Make sure you tag me @mumswithhustle, so I can champion you! WRAP UP This episode of the Mums With Hustle Podcast is brought to you by my online academy, The Social Method Society.

Building Mums With Hustle: Your Questions Answered
This celebratory episode features my amazing co-host and husband, Karl (you may know him as Mr. Hustle) and we're chatting all about how we began building Mums With Hustle and what our entrepreneurial journey has been like up until now. LET'S GET INTO IT Pop the champagne or dive into a smoothie bowl because this it the third anniversary of the Mums With Hustle Podcast! During this episode, we are chatting all about how we began building Mums With Hustle and this episode contains the answers to several questions that my tribe asked me via Instagram and my free private Facebook Group - The Mums With Hustle Biz Club - about how Karl and I grew our empire. 1. The Beginning of Mums With Hustle Damn, I hustled when building Mums With Hustle. It wasn't easy! But I'm so grateful for everything we've achieved in these last three years.
Key Points We Discussed: How did you build the business in the beginning with young children? When did Tracy work, and how did she get it all done?
Tracy hustled during nap times. She recorded podcasts at night (8PM) when Ethan was in bed.
How did Tracy manage FOMO when she had to work while Karl got to hang with the boys? Why you need to be very conscious about where you are choosing to spend your time? 2. Working at MWH A lot of ladies wanted to know when Karl and I work, so here I'm sharing our schedule and how we knew it was time to bring Karl into the business full-time.
Key Points We Discussed: How many days do we work and when?
We committed to working three days a week - Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday. We work from 9-5 on those three days. Thursdays are our overflow days.
When did we know that it was time to bring Karl home and into the business full-time?
You just know - especially when the nerves feel exciting, that's your intuition speaking. We knew we would make it work because of our self-belief. Ultimately, it was Karl who knew it was time because his family meant more to him than the day job did. Before taking the leap, you have to know that you have a strategic plan to support your family.
Key Points We Discussed: When did we start generating a steady income? What was the business model that we had in the first couple of years of MWH? How did the money we made go back into the business? WRAP UP The podcast episode that we referenced throughout this episode is: Doing Business With Your Husband - Behind The Scenes at MWH

Don't Make These Mistakes When Marketing Your Events
Did you know that you can reap some BIG success from planning small events? You totally can! Not only that, but you can really see events level up your biz and you as an entrepreneur. #ItsAWinWin
Plus, events are a great way for you to network and grow your tribe!
I seriously love speaking at and attending various events for businesses. I've attended so many, and I keep being blown away by how much truly goes into each event from the planning to the marketing and so on.
So I wanted to take a bit to chat with an expert on event planning, and give you some seriously actionable tips and strategies to ensure your next event is a major success! LET'S GET INTO IT I see a lot of women in my tribe having a go at running some events, and I just thought about how I wanted to help you take your events to the next level with this podcast episode!
Today's guest is Jade McKenzie, owner of Event Head. She is 5 x internationally award winning event professional and business coach with over 15 years’ experience in event management and business development in the corporate, not for profit and entrepreneurial sectors. Jade specialises in working with entrepreneurs and businesses ranging from start-ups to multi-millionaires who want to create successful and sustainable events. THE RECAP During this episode, Jade is going to chat with us all about the role events play in growing your brand and business, how to plan a successful event for your biz, and the biggest mistakes people make when marketing their events and how to avoid them. 1. Introducing Jade! I seriously love Jade's energy, and I cannot wait for you to get to know her in this section.
Key Points We Discussed:
Who is Jade McKenzie? What is Jade's biz journey? How did Jade found her biz? 2. Using Events To Grow Your Brand Events are a great way to position yourself as a leader in your niche, while also showing your potential customers what your vibe is so that they can connect with you on a deeper level! You can seriously use events to grow your brand, and in this section, Jade is spilling the details on how.
Key Points We Discussed:
How to plan events if you're an introvert?
You have to show up and be present. Do what is good for you. Know what is the best scenario for you. Focus on the outcomes.
Why you should approach everything from a place of service? What roles does Jade see events playing in growing a brand and business? How do events position you as a leader in your niche? What is the importance of knowing the objectives of your event? 3. Planning Your Events When planning your events there are some classic do's and don'ts! In this section, I picked Jade's brain to get her best and most actionable tips for planning a successful event.
Key Points We Discussed:
What are the do's of planning a successful event?
You have to know your why. Plan effectively. Do quality work.
What are the don'ts of planning a successful event?
Plan your event bit by bit (6-8 weeks). Don't wait until the last minute! Don't exceed your budget! Be resourceful. Connect with every single person in the room in a meaningful way. Don't let anyone leave without saying hi or goodbye. When planning your event, don't do it all by yourself.
Key Points We Discussed:
What are some of the biggest mistakes people can make?
Being realistic around numbers. Lack of urgency. Why should people buy their ticket now? Forgetting to focus on the benefits of your event. Budget - Not setting a budget is a huge mistake!
How can biz babes avoid these mistakes? Why you must be marketing and promoting your events?
Motherhood Meets Entrepreneurship: How I Built A Business With My Babies At Home and Endless Night Waking
The element of having young children around all the time when you're trying to grow your business can really make you feel like your business is going at an extremely slow place.
So what should you do when motherhood meets entrepreneurship? And how the heck are you supposed to grow your empire with only a few hours a day?
As always, I've got you covered with how you can begin to hustle consciously and see growth in your biz. LET'S GET INTO IT In this episode, I really wanted to speak to all those ladies who feel like they don't have enough time to grow their business. So I'm sharing how I built Mums With Hustle with two babies at home and endless night waking! 1. Don't Get Caught Up Comparing Yourself I will be the first to tell you that overnight success is a myth, and believing this myth allows for comparison syndrome to creep into your mind and poison you against yourself. In this section, I'm sharing why you cannot allow yourself to get caught up in comparison syndrome.
Key Points I Discussed:
What happens when you start comparing your journey to another biz babe's? Why should you stop comparing yourself to other women in business? How can you stop comparing yourself? 2. Stop Glorifying Busyness Progress and success in business does not come down to busyness. In reality, busyness prevents you from growing as an entrepreneur and creates self-limiting beliefs.
Key Points I Discussed: Why should you not equate success with being busy?
You should be taking consistent conscious action on the right tasks in your business. Mel Robbins describes busyness as just an excuse. Busyness is fear talking.
How is busyness a form of procrastination? Make a list - What are the things that you spend time being busy with? WRAP UP We need the courage to be honest with ourselves and the drive to take action on the things that will allow us to see growth on this entrepreneurship journey. We do not need time in order to succeed!
Think of one thing that you can do today to move your business forward. I'm so excited to see you bring consciousness into your hustle!Tag me @mumswithhustle in your IG Stories with what you're going to do today to move your biz forward, so I can repost it in my Stories and hold you accountable.

What is Lorraine's GSD approach to life? In what ways does living a Get Sh*t Done mentality help you achieve more in business? How should you be aware of your brain calories? Why and how should you look after your future self?
Make tiny changes to look after your future self.
Key Points We Discussed:
How to figure out your next steps in biz?
Make time for planning. Plot out small steps to move forward. Stop procrastinating.
Why do entrepreneurs procrastinate? Ways to do things differently in business? 4. Social Media I have been following Lorraine's journey on Instagram for years, so I'm super excited to chat IG with her and why she loves the platform just as much as I do.
Key Points We Discussed:
In what ways does social media play a role in Lorraine's business? What does Lorraine love about Instagram?
Instagram is a lovely space. IG is easy to use. Lorraine loves being able to be vulnerable and share more about her life via Insta.

My Top Tips For Networking At Events
Networking at events is extremely important, even in this digital age. It helps you build real and genuine connections with entrepreneurs from various niches. This in turn could lead to powerful collaborations and breakthroughs for your biz!
I know attending networking events can feel incredibly intimidating, so I wanted to bring you a podcast episode that highlights my top four tips for networking at events. LET'S GET INTO IT Ready for a truth bomb? I still get nervous when I attend networking events, but I know that I can't let my fear or ego dictate my actions. One of my goals is to have every single one of the beautiful souls in my tribe feeling brave and ready to collaborate with confidence.
That's why I'm so excited to share this episode with you! THE RECAP In this episode, I'm going to help you manage your emotions and all the feels that come along with attending networking events. I will also be sharing with you a cool new Instagram feature to help you connect with people whether you're at events or just out and about. 1. Labels I've definitely changed my habits around thinking when it comes to personality types.
Key Points I Discussed:
Do you subscribe to beliefs that certain labels allow you to do and not to do certain things? Are you letting your introvert or extrovert label control how you act at networking events? 2. Becoming More Comfortable At Networking Events Networking events could seriously help you grow your brand and help you establish valuable relationships! In this section, how you can become more familiar with the event you're attending to ease your fears prior to the event.
Key Points I Discussed:
How to become more familiar with where you are going for the event?
Research the venue and the location.
Why should you get to the event earlier than everyone else?
You can meet key people. This allows you to be the one greeting people as they come in! Arriving early eliminates the fear of walking into a room full of people.
Key Points I Discussed:
What are my four top tips?
Alter the way you think! Tell your ego to calm down. Step into a place of love and service. Remember that you are there to make everyone else feel comfortable. Try going alone to the event. Utilise the new Instagram Nametag feature. Make sure you follow up!
Why you should actively listen to those you connect with at events? WRAP UP You are so extremely limitless, beautiful! I want to leave you with one last piece of advice:
Follow the good butterflies and your curiosity!
Doing this will open yourself up to new experiences because we all need to keep learning and keep growing.

Making Health and Wellness A Priority as an Entrepreneur
Entrepreneurship is not just about business. It's about a way of being and a way of living. There is a connection between living a happy, healthy life and our ability to be ambitious, efficient and thriving entrepreneurs.
Now everyone knows that I am so passionate about creating and living a wholly healthy life, and I always encourage my fellow bizmums to do the same.
You are only as good as your health!
So with today's episode, I've got a real treat for you that will help you be more productive in your days by living a low-tox life. LET'S GET INTO IT Today's guest is Cara Little.

Her vision is to inspire and educate families to make better choices about products used in their home, and where possible to steer towards a more natural approach.

Key Points We Discussed:

It is so true that there is a connection between living a happy, healthy life and our ability to be ambitious, efficient and thriving entrepreneurs.
Key Points We Discussed:
What are Cara's three secret weapons to being successful in business?
Self Belief Purpose Grit and Perseverance
How does entrepreneurship and wellness connect?
Focusing on happiness is the most important aspect of work, does it make you happy? The physical and emotional impact of being happy in your workplace can improve your productivity and success rate. Think about how you handle the reality of business/entrepreneurship. What is it that you do when you are stressed? Eating well, exercising and relaxing all form part of a successful entrepreneur.
Why do entrepreneurs need to make health and wellness a priority? 3. Atmosphere Matters Creating a calm, rejuvenating and relaxing atmosphere for your home (especially when you work from there) sounds utterly divine. In this section, Cara tells listeners why atmosphere matters.
Key Points We Discussed:
What constitutes a healthy home? How to create a calmer, healthier home?
Remove chemicals in your home Declutter Reassess your body and cleaning products-look at the labels Open windows for at least 30 minutes a day Take shoes off at the door Let natural light and benefit form its antibacterial power. Remove fly sprays and fragrance dispersers. Energy plays a large part in the home
Key Points We Discussed:
Why should every household start living a low-tox life? What do chemicals in the home do?
Chemicals place an additional burden on the body to break down and eliminate. There create concerns for growing and developing bodies especially children because chemicals affect them greater. Having chemicals in the home can affect our bodies in a number of ways: they can affect our hormones, nerves, accumulate to toxic levels,
YOUR GUIDE TO UNCOVERING AND BANISHING SELF-SABOTAGING BEHAVIORS
You may think that you know what you want... but your subconscious mind might actually be working against you to prevent you from reaching your goals.
Growth comes from change and your ability to embrace the unknown, and this starts with your mindset. But if your subconscious mind is telling you that this growth is wrong, what are you to do?
You must banish these self-sabotaging behaviors and create your own breakthrough! LET'S GET INTO IT I truly hope you are able to come into this episode with an open mind and heart. I hope you're listening to this podcast with the willingness to be receptive, to embrace change, and feel challenged. THE RECAP In this episode, I'm going to help you uncover and breakthrough some self-sabotaging beliefs that you may have. 1. Work + Life Integration Karl and I are living our life and business by design. I recorded this episode from the hotel room in Hawaii!
Key Points I Discussed:
How do Karl and I maintain our work/life integration? Are we working while overseas? 2. Your Subconscious Mind Quite often your subconscious mind is working against you! You must become increasingly aware of the resistance that you feel during every stage and level of life and business.
Key Points I Discussed:
Where does growth come from? Why you need to pay attention to the way you think, feel, speak? How is your subconscious mind programmed against you?
It wants to keep you safe, warm and comfortable. Comfort lives in that realm of what you already know and do with ease. Habits are habits because you've conditioned your self conscious mind to trust these practices and through predictability your mind has come to identify these habits as safe practices.
Key Points I Discussed:
Why you need to establish if your feelings are coming from a place of truth or fear?
What does fear feel like?
Fear feels heavy and negative. It raises feelings of jealousy, inadequacy, envy, self-doubt, anxiety, and resentment. You might even have body responses like nervous tension/energy, low moods or low vibes.
How can fear manifest itself?
Procrastination Overwhelm
What triggers your fears? 4. Create Your Own Breakthrough One of the biggest reasons entrepreneurs fail to achieve their vision is that there is some huge form of resistance that they need to break through!
Key Points I Discussed:
How you can create your own breakthrough?
Pick something that you want. Set a goal. Ask yourself the following, “What scares me about this goal?” Next ask yourself WHY 5 times or create a list of every possible piece of resistance you might encounter. Set yourself up for success with systems, plans, and rewards/incentives.
Why you must keep asking yourself why, why, why around the way you're feeling? WRAP UP If you experience a breakthrough after listening to this podcast, please don't be a stranger! Feel free to leave me a review share your breakthrough in an IG Story, just remember to tag me @mumswithhustle, so I can repost it in my Stories. My audience loves to see you and cheer you on, too!

Turning Passion Into Profit Turning your passion into profit is something that can easily be done, if you cut through the chaos and truly focus on the most important aspects of your life and your business. In this section, Mary is spilling all the details on how to focus on your four core areas of biz!
Key Points We Discussed:
How can you cut through the chaos? In what what ways should bizmums focus on the most important aspects of biz? Why does the way you respond to emails as a bizmum matter?

Key Points We Discussed:
How are millennials a great hire?
Millennials can be in touch with technology and how to do things efficiently.
The difference between hiring millennials as a direct member of your staff versus a freelancer? How does Mary recommend we nurture our millennial workers?
Express certain things during your orientation talk you give them. They are so easy to inspire. Let them know 3 areas they will benefit from as a result of the work they will be doing. Tell them your expectations, that you expect them to be prepared for work each day, also let them know you expect full participation in order to succeed.
What is the best framework to use when managing millennials?
Expectations Boundaries Level of Authority
Why are millennials so great with social media?
They know how to engage and communicate authentically. They're very social media savvy.

Redesigning Your Life To Be One Filled With Worth and Abundance
You know I'm all about designing a life centered around self love, self care, and doing the things I love with the people I love. It's a certain peace that I really hope every bizmum can achieve, so today I'm talking with a bizmum who also wants to help you reach this level of alignment! LET'S GET INTO IT Today's guest is Sarah Liddle. She is a pleasure coach, relationship, sex and self love expert. Sarah is also a vintage nerd, and lives for 1920's collectables and 1930's fashion. When she is not looking at antique and second hand stores she is floating around the house, working in the garden and playing with her son. THE RECAP During this episode, Sarah is going to chat with us all about what happens when we forget to practise self care and self love and how we end up falling out of alignment with not only ourselves, but our business, too. She's going to be sharing her best strategies and exercises to help you stop trying to juggle “it all” while redesigning your life to be one filled with worth and abundance! 1. Introducing Sarah! Sarah is all about self love, sexiness, and pleasure. I loved hearing about her story and having her on the podcast, so I cannot wait for you to meet her! She really is an embodiment of the knowledge she shares.
Key Points We Discussed:
Who is Sarah Liddle? What is Sarah's biz journey? How did Sarah found her biz? 2. The Difference Between Self Love and Self Care There are extreme differences between self love and self care. In this section, Sarah tells us all about how we can practice self care or pleasure habits, but not be deeply connected to our inner self love. And how our inner self love is exactly where we should be focussing!
Key Points We Discussed:
Why does Sarah advocate for self care everyday rather than just one day a week? How can you simplify your life?
Don't be all things to all people. Find the things that light you up. Stop limiting yourself.
What is the difference between self love and self care? In what ways can you embrace your post baby body?
Reframing the way you view your body. You're not changing your body, you're changing the way you LOVE YOUR BODY. In the shower, tell your bits you love them. Build a relationship with your body, ask what your body needs. Stop comparing. Remember that confidence is sexier than the “perfect body.”
Key Points We Discussed:
What happens when you are out of alignment? How will your body show you that you're out of alignment? How can you get back in alignment?
Take time to communicate with your body - Rest. Eat healthy foods. Drink water. Make time for pleasure. Re-prioritize your health.
What is and why should you write down a pleasure list? How does self love affect the rest of your life? 4. Redesign Your Life You are a better mother, lover, friend and business babe when you are happiest. And you're not your happiest when you have too many goals, too many responsibilities, too many things. All of those things take you out of the present moment, so you need to redesign your life to be one filled with self love and pleasure.
Key Points We Discussed:
Why you should ask yourself the Miracle Question?
Imagine tonight while you are sleeping, a miracle happens and when you wake up your life and business is exactly how you desire it to be. What do you find yourself, thinking, believing, feeling and doing?
What are some things from your ideal life that you can implement in your life now? Should you do it all as a mum in business? WRAP UP I loved this chat with Sarah because there was so much truth in what she was saying.
If you're feeling brave, I want you to have a go at creating a pleasure list. What lights you up?

3 Reasons Why Entrepreneurs Fail To Manifest Their Desires
Manifestation is such an amazing thing. It allows the universe to provide you with what you truly want through abundance, gratitude, and positive vibes.
Yep, the beauty of manifesting is that if you truly want something then you believe it's going to happen and then it does. Like magic!
Recently, I manifested a trip to Hawaii for myself and my family. I posted about this on Instagram and the post went off! It brought up a lot of questions about manifestation, so I knew I had to share a podcast about how I manifested this trip and why entrepreneurs fail to manifest their desires in life and business. LET'S GET INTO IT I truly hope you come to this episode with an openness to hear and truly receive the information I'm about to share so that you can begin to ponder and observe thought patterns and habits that can truly change and better your own business and life. THE RECAP In this episode, I'm sharing all about how I manifested my holiday to Hawaii and the three main reasons why entrepreneurs fail to manifest their desires. 1. You Don't Actually Know What You Want People don't really know what they want most of the time. The truth is if you don't have the courage to put something out there to get what you want, you're not going to be able to welcome the opportunities to make what you want happen.
Key Points I Discussed:
How do you know what you want?

What is a lack mindset? How do you know if you're operating on a lack mindset? What language does someone with a lack mindset use?
“I can't...” “I don't...” “I am not...”
In what ways can you change your scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset? 3. You Have Negative Emotions Are you happy for other people's successes? How do you feel when other people succeed? If you aren't basking in positive vibes, then you've got to change your mindset!
Key Points I Discussed:
How do you feel when you see other people achieving? Why you should believe you are worthy? How can you attract positive vibes? 7 Day Gratitude Challenge For the next seven days, I want you to start each day by calling to mind one thing that you're grateful for.

How To Lead With Fierce Authenticity
Do you want to build a community and lead your tribe with value from a place of service and generosity in business?
Who am I kidding? Of course you do!
Being a leader isn't about how many people you have in your tribe to lead. It’s about how you plan on nurturing your community as you help fulfill their needs.
Yep, you know I'm all about leading from a place of service and authenticity, so when I came across the bizmum I'm chatting with today, I just knew I had to get her and her wisdom onto the podcast for you. LET'S GET INTO IT Today's guest is Jadah Sellner. She is a mum, best-selling author, the host of the Lead with Love™ podcast, and international keynote and TEDx speaker helping redefine the way we work, lead and love. You may also know Jadah from her work as co-founder and co-author of Simple Green Smoothies, which has been featured in Oprah's O Magazine (YES, Oprah!!!).
As a serial entrepreneur, online community growth strategist and business mentor, Jadah now dedicates her time consulting companies and personal brands to build communities with love, service, and impact. THE RECAP During this episode, Jadah is going to chat with us all about how she leads with fierce authenticity and soul by sharing her top tips for building a thriving, engaged, and action-taking community. 1. Introducing Jadah! So much of what I did in the early days of my business comes from Jadah's words of wisdom. I tend not to fangirl about many people, but I have the utmost respect for Jadah.
Key Points We Discussed:
Who is Jadah Sellner? What is Jadah's biz journey? How did Jadah found her biz? 2. Jadah's Manifesto Jadah has a manifesto of sorts for artists, dreamers, entrepreneurs and world-changers who want to dream big and find their tribe.
Key Points We Discussed:
What is Jadah's manifesto?
Dream out loud. Use your greatest gifts to serve. Enjoy the process more than the destination. Make business your art. Take imperfect action. Look at failure as feedback. Choose love & delight your tribe. Let fear come along for the ride, but LET LOVE LEAD.
Why do you need to think about who you are most excited to serve? How to understand what you stand for? 3. Building A Community We all want to build a thriving, engaged, action-taking community, so in this section Jadah is sharing her most practical tips and strategies to help you build your ideal community.
Key Points We Discussed:
How to build an action-taking community?
Share valuable information consistently that is free. Make your free opt-in better than someone's paid offer. Your message will spread so much quicker when you offer so much free value up front.
How does Jadah think about courting her community?
Social media is a dance floor. Your website is your home. Your email list is your bedroom.
Why you should consider creating a limited-time challenge to give to your tribe? Jadah's question for you: What simple and easy win can you teach your community right now?
Turn that into a value-packed challenge!
What ways can you find opportunities where you can fill a gap in the marketplace?
Look into other people's comments. Check out Amazon book reviews.
Key Points We Discussed:
What is one thing that helped Jadah succeed?
Knowing magic can strike twice. Understanding what the right next step is for you.
Why should you keep choosing yourself over and over again? How does Jadah continually improve herself? Why must you build your business in a way that supports your greatest gifts and strengths?

How To Not Be Thrown Off Your Game By Negative Feedback
Have you ever received negative feedback on an offer you truly thought your tribe would love? When you first get the feedback, it can really hurt. But it's just feedback, and you have to keep in mind that it's going to happen to everyone at some point.
Girlfriend, I get it. I know from experience that it does take some serious flexing of your mindset muscles to move past any negative feedback you received, so I thought I'd put together an episode to help you stay on top of your game and use negative feedback to your benefit. LET'S GET INTO IT Recently, I've been getting a lot of questions around how to move past negative feedback. I wanted to bring you a training on four strategies to help you move past negative feedback along with some very practical things for you to do that will use negative feedback to amplify your offer! THE RECAP The four strategies I provide in this episode will really help you handle negative feedback in your business. 1. Understand Where Feedback Comes From The main reason why people give feedback is because they want to be heard. When you're sorting through feedback on your offerings, you should keep in mind that what your tribe is saying is always about them - not you.
Key Points I Discussed:
Who is feedback always about? What does feedback show you about those who leave it? One example of negative feedback that I've seen? What do negative comments reveal?
Beliefs Values Point of need
Key Points I Discussed:
Why you should seek out opportunities within feedback? What is the feedback revealing to you about your ideal customers? 3. Dig A Little Deeper Don't be afraid to feel all the feels when it comes to feedback. It helps to dig a little deeper into your feelings and really be honest with yourself.
Key Points I Discussed:
What beliefs about yourself, your product and your work are being triggered right now? How can you stop words from hurting you? In what ways can you shift your beliefs about yourself? 4. Stop Focussing On The Negative Feedback Girlfriend, you've got to stop focussing on negative feedback! In this section, I share why and how.
Key Points I Discussed:
Why should you give negative feedback its moment and then move on? How is negative feedback stopping you from being productive? Why you need to stop putting yourself through the pain of moving on? 5. Practical Things You Can Do To Move Past The Negativity
Create a stock response. Write an email but don't send it. Talk to a mentor or share it with your mastermind. Confide in a friend that can listen to you, but give you perspective and pull you out of your funk - those friends are keepers! Read testimonials.
WRAP UP I would love to know if anything in this episode struck a chord with you. Feel free to DM me and let me know what you have connected with.

Monetising Your Lifestyle Blog
Have you thought about starting a blog that brings in a monthly revenue or are you hoping to monetise your existing blog? If you've answered “yes” to either of these questions then keep reading!
On today's episode of the Mums With Hustle podcast, we're going to deep dive into discussing how to start monetising your blog through various income streams with insight from some really amazing guests who are building an empire from their lifestyle blog. LET'S GET INTO IT Today, I'm joined by the high vibing sister duo behind the all-encompassing, true lifestyle blog, SWIISH.com. Yep, it's the Swiish sisters Sally Obermeder and Maha Koraiem! No doubt you've come across their joyful smiles, fashion finds and tasty eats, if you aren't following them already on Instagram, you will be by the end of this podcast episode!
SWIISH.com began with the vision to share Sally’s expertise for discovering chic, affordable and fabulous finds for a stylish lifestyle. In addition to SWIISH.com, you can catch Sally co-hosting Channel 7’s national news and entertainment show, The Daily Edition and both Maha and Sally are dedicated philanthropists, working alongside various charitable organisations as ambassadors and supporters. THE RECAP You are in for a serious treat with this episode. During this episode, we're talking about all things blogging! We're going as deep as covering why you must establish your why, the importance of knowing your ideal avatar, and how to start monetising your blog through various income streams! 1. Introducing Sally & Maha! The two things I love the most about these two kickass women are that they are no BS and pure hustle and heart. So let's hear their story and learn a little more about Sally & Maha's journey!
Key Points We Discussed:
Who are Sally & Maha? What is their biz journey? How did Sally and Maha found their biz? 2. Establishing Your Why I cannot stress enough that establishing and knowing your WHY is one of the most important aspects of starting and growing your business or blog.
Key Points We Discussed:
What does SWIISH stand for?
Stylish Women Inspiring Inner Health and Happiness
How do you recommend women in business establish their why?
Figure out what resonates with you the most. Most business owners think of an idea they’re passionate about and then realise there’s nothing out there similar in the market and that becomes their why.
Why is it important to be passionate about what you're doing?
If you’re passionate about something, the why is always easy.
Key Points We Discussed:
Who is your SWIISH chick? How does having a clear understanding and vision of your ideal avatar shape what you do in biz? In what ways will you be able to better serve your tribe if you know your ideal avatar? 4. Introducing New Revenue Streams Sally and Maha run a lifestyle blog with several revenue streams. In this section, they're sharing some of the ways they've managed to introduce new revenue to their site.
Key Points We Discussed:
How did knowing your ideal avatar allow you to expand into new revenue streams? Why you should learn how to diversify? In what ways do Sally and Maha recommend women monetise their blog? What 3 actionable tips can you implement to start a blog with revenue?
Don’t put all of your eggs into one basket. It’s important to have several income streams so if it’s a slow month in one area, you have another area to fall back on. If you’re not at that stage of your blog or business yet, keep your day job and do your passion project as a side hustle until you’ve got the income to do it full-time. Be your own cheerleader. This is Sal’s favourite piece of advice.
Surviving The Startup Phase
Starting your own business is tough. If it wasn't, everyone would do it! Here at MWH, we want to help make sure you survive the startup phase. LET'S GET INTO IT I am really excited for today's conversation because we are getting raw, real, and vulnerable. This episode is really going to resonate with you if you have ever felt a strain on your relationships with your spouse, friends, and family simply because you took the leap to become a bizmum!
Today's guest is Meg Burrage, a self-confessed startup addict who is married to a moody Dutchman and a mum to one 4-year-old boy named, Oliver. Meg is the Founder and Creator of BubDesk, the childcare-coworking combination, and she also works as a Management Consultant in the Resources sector.
So let's give a huge welcome to Meg, and let's get into it! THE RECAP During this episode, Meg is going to talk about her major social struggles and hurdles when starting her business, how difficult it was to grow a business with a constant strain on her relationships, and ways to reduce stress when trying to take your biz off of the ground floor. 1. Introducing Meg! Meg is such a cool chick who understands how it takes so much grit and determination to run a successful startup. You're really going to love hearing all of her tips and tricks to survive the startup phase during this episode!
Key Points We Discussed:
Who is Meg Burrage? What is Meg's biz journey? How did Meg found her biz? 2. The Strain Startups Have On Relationships Starting a business can provide many social struggles for mums in business. Meg is no stranger to these struggles, so I had to ask her how she managed to work through them or move past them with such resilience!
Key Points We Discussed:
How do you overcome losing friends when starting your business? In what ways should you stay resilient during the startup phase? Why does running a startup put a strain on relationships? What are some ways bizmums can open the door for conversation with their partners?
Ask their opinion on things and value their input. Take responsibility for any failed business models and grow through them. Acknowledge the stress that startups and single income may put on your family. Make a conscious effort to not be joined to your phone.
Key Points We Discussed:
How does Meg recommend reducing stress while running a startup? How should you recognize that less is more?
Time is money Be more productive in the time you do have
Why you should schedule non-work related activities into your calendar? Why you should consider outsourcing?
Consider outsourcing to a VA, Bookkeeper, and Social Media Manager. Outsourcing things that don't take up too much time frees up your time.

Things I Have Had To Let Go Of In Order To Grow Myself Spiritually, Mentally and Emotionally
Contentment, alignment and success in business.... It all starts with LETTING GO! Letting go of self-limiting beliefs, fear, clutter, toxic people, guilt, false perceptions of yourself, etc.
The list goes on and on. We've got to let go in order to grow!
And that's what I want for you, babe. I want you to grow spiritually, mentally, and emotionally, so I had to share this episode with you so you can let go and make more room for what you want to receive from life. LET'S GET INTO IT Today's episode is just you and I, babe. I'm drawing inspiration from one of my recent posts on Instagram that got a lot of saves, comments, likes, and DMs. You can check out that post below:
Contentment, alignment and success in business.... It all starts with LETTING GO! Letting go of fear. Letting go of beliefs that hold you back. Letting go of clutter. Letting go of toxic people or people that you’ve outgrown. Letting go of mistakes and hurts. Letting go of guilt. Letting go of holding the cards too tight. Letting go of money. Letting go pride. Letting go of false perceptions of yourself. Letting go of unnecessary expectations. Let go and make room for what you want to receive. 💕 Know someone who needs this message?

THE RECAP I've come to this place where I've realised anytime I'm feeling stuck, uninspired, upset, etc., I need to come back to myself and think “Is this true? Or is there something that I need to let go of?”
I truly believe every step forward needs us to let go of something in some capacity. So grab your pen and paper because I'm sharing three things you need to let go of in order to find success and grow. 1. Identity My old self-identity had to be let go for me to become the entrepreneur I am today! I had put together a perception of who I was that I had created out of my egoic self, and that version of me could not grow. Believe me when I say that when you let go of your false identity, you are able to step into your full potential.
Key Points I Discussed:
How did I put myself in a box? What caused me to start questioning myself and my own worth? Why you shouldn't have your identity wrapped up in one thing? Is your identity wrapped up in a false egoic sense of self or is it your truth? 2. People Pleasing I would love to make everyone happy all the time, but that's just not possible. I still feel a certain kind of pressure to come and attend get togethers or have long phone conversations, go out, go shopping, etc. just because I run my business from home. However, I realised that was just me trying to be a people pleaser.
Key Points I Discussed:
How did I get comfortable with saying no?
I let people know what my work days are and my off days are. I say “no” in a really loving way.
What boundaries did I set to stop people pleasing? Do you have family and friends who look at your biz as really unconventional?
It's so important to be able to step into their shoes, be confident, and have trust in ourselves to set boundaries to focus on growing your business and not people pleasing.
Key Points I Discussed:
How does every person have a success threshold? How does self-sabotage manifest itself as illness? In what ways do we use excuses to stay small? Why is it important to increase our comfort boundaries? RESOURCES The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks WRAP UP I would love to know if anything in this episode struck a chord with you.
Using Big Names To Grow Your Brand
Often the thing that holds us back is fear. Fear of being rejected, missing out, not being worthy... But just imagine seeing one of your blog posts or articles re-posted on an extremely popular website because you worked up the nerve to finally pitch yourself.
Your website will start getting more traffic, the follows will pour in on Instagram, your email list will double.
Now if this sounds too good to be true, it's not! Today's episode is all about helping you leverage the power of media outlets to grow your brand and gain exposure. LET'S GET INTO IT I seriously love chatting with bizmums who understand how amazing it is when passion meets purpose, and today's guest is definitely one of those women!
Today's guest is Clare Wood, a business coach who has helped many women (including many mums) in the services industry to grow their businesses. She loves her hubby and her two boys, travelling, wine, the gym, and her secret addiction is trashy reality TV shows!
During this episode, Clare is going to chat with us all about how to use big names to elevate your business and share her best strategies to help you nail your next pitch, so you can start maximising your publicity!
Let's give a huge welcome to Clare and get into it! THE RECAP I'm all about encouraging mums to sell themselves as the incredible women they are online and offline!

We have a passion for a lot of the same things (reality TV included), so I'm really excited for you to meet Clare and really get into this conversation!
Key Points We Discussed:
Who is Clare Wood? What is Clare's biz journey? How did Clare found her biz? 2. Passion Meets Purpose I am all about when passion meets purpose because I find that very important when it comes to creating content and growing your brand authentically.
Key Points We Discussed:
How can a mum transition into the thriving phase of her business?
Define what thriving means to you. Set your goals and be clear about what thriving is for you. Transitioning to thriving might mean getting balance back into your life!
Tips to start thriving in business?
Make sure you are doing what you love. When you are on purpose and doing what you love, the business side will flow easily. Focus on what you do best, and outsource the rest. Nail a profitable business model. Make sure that you have a plan to make a profit from your passion, and set a budget to ensure you can achieve targets. Nail your avatar and make sure that all your marketing is targeted directly towards him/ her.
Key Points We Discussed:
In what ways can a mum elevate her biz?
Work with big names (particularly of ‘celebrity’ status) to really elevate your credibility as people associate the trust they have with a big name with you and your business. Look into potential partnerships/collaborations. Extend meetings beyond just one interview/meeting.
What do you recommend mums do NOT do to elevate their biz?
Do not just randomly partner with someone.
Key Points We Discussed:
How to partner with a big name?

It’s all about WHO you know. Build relationships with your dream ‘big names’ through engaging on social media o...
WTF is GDPR
There is so much information circling the depths of the internet covering the do's and don'ts of GDPR, legals, and email marketing... A lot of the time that information can actually be wrong and a lot of biz owners end up feeling misinformed and unsure what to do next.
With a hundred questions filling your head and all the craziness surrounding GDPR, I had to bring on an expert lawyer onto the podcast to give us the true low-down about the legalities surrounding your business and email list. LET'S GET INTO IT This week's episode is one I've wanted to bring to you for awhile. We're touching on things like legals, which I know is totally not sexy, but definitely something I get asked a lot about!
Today's guest is Shalini Nandan-Singh. Shalini is a community-minded, contract loving lawyer with over fifteen years experience. She enjoys empowering small business owners to build confidence and understanding around their legal requirements. It’s not just about contracts and agreements, or finding and closing every possible loophole to keep your business ‘safe’. It’s about empowerment!
During this episode, Shalini is going to chat with us all about GDPR, what it is, what you need to know, and her best tips and strategies to grow your email list the right (and legal!) way.
Let's give a huge welcome to Shalini! THE RECAP I knew I had to get this episode recorded for you bizmums as soon as possible with the new GDPR laws changing. I'm here to stop your head from spinning! This episode is jam-packed with a lot of digestible information regarding the legalities surrounding your biz.

Key Points We Discussed:
Who is Shalini Nandan-Singh? What is Shalini's biz journey? How did Shalini found Legally Shalini? 2. GDPR Seriously, though - what even is GDPR?! There are a ton of blogs, YouTube videos, courses, and lectures popping up to discuss GDPR; however, you and I both know, girlfriend, that information can get misconstrued as it travels down the grapevine. I had to pick Shalini's brain about GDPR, so we get the truth once and for all.
Key Points We Discussed:
What is GDPR?
General Data Protection Regulations If you have an online business and website you need to be compliant with the GDPR
What are the main things biz owners need to know if they are just starting out with email marketing?
Create a privacy policy that is compliant with the GDPR requirements Ensure your privacy policy is linked to all of your privacy notices or statements on all of your email marketing procedures

You need to replace your existing Privacy Policy with a GDPR compliant one drafted for your biz Take a look at your email list and segment EU addresses Send your EU subscribers your updated privacy policy and ask them to opt back in
Key Points We Discussed:
How should a bizmum word their opt-ins, if they plan on contacting them again? The difference between a compliant and non-compliant opt-in? 5. Your Legals My tribe consists of three main groups of business owners - ecommerce rockstars,...

Why You Need To Slow Down In Business
I'm all about creating a business that gives you the lifestyle you want. Part of that for us here at Mums With Hustle is having holidays! We love exploring new places, experiencing other cultures, and just getting out holiday on in general.
We actually had our holiday in Thailand planned way before we re-launched Hashtag Hustle. Believe me, that holiday was much needed because the first quarter of the year was full-on hustle mode!
It's an understatement to say that we were sprinting for a solid three months, so we gave took a vacay... And to be quite honest, my holiday in Thailand really inspired the idea for this podcast.
We, as hustlers, really do need to slow down in business! LET'S GET INTO IT In this episode, I'm going to be chatting with you all about how stepping out of your business is so important and that doing less can help you achieve more.
More often than not, your to-do list is longer than what you can even actually action! Sound familiar? At the end of the day, we seem to not prioritise things that are more or equally important than actually doing work in our business!
In truth, we need to really focus on learning how to hustle with consciousness. You guessed it... This episode is all about conscious hustle! THE RECAP We always find a way to make the work happen, but what about the rest and relaxation? How do we make that take priority and over come any burn out? That's what I'm diving into and chatting with you about this week. As always, if you can't listen and you'd rather have a quick read - here's a recap of what I discussed in this episode. 1. Rest, Relaxation, and Holidays When you are in start up phase it can be so tempting to work all the time... Here's the cold hard truth:
When you are a business owner, you will never fully be caught up.
Key Points I Discussed:
How is the hustle in your control? In what way am I an ambitious woman? Why shouldn't you be doing everything at all times? 2. All About Hustle Yes, we are mums with hustle. But that doesn't come at the cost of sanity or ignoring the other more important aspects of your life: family, health, faith, etc.
Key Points I Discussed:
How can you hustle with consciousness? You must know:
What you're choosing to work on and why What's at stake if you choose to work on that thing and not something else Your worth Your value That time is non-renewable When you're just hustling for hustle sake - busy being busy, and not busy being productive and being purposeful.
How is doing business as a mum different?
Unique circumstances Our earnings are not just ours The decisions we make take into the consideration the effect it will have on our families, households, and little people
Why you need to remember the hustle is your choice? What ways can you reach a higher place of consciousness? 3. Plan In Your Freedom We can have to-do lists that are way too damn long sometimes! We need to start planning in our freedom, especially when it comes to taking a holiday from our business.
Key Points I Discussed:
How to plan in your freedom?
Get out your calendar Mark in the days that you won't work (birthdays anniversaries, holidays, sabbaticals) Book it in and make it happen. Put the money down!
Ways you can stop feeling bad about taking time to relax, rejuvenate, and reset? Why are holidays so great for entrepreneurs? How to differentiate between what you should be doing and what you could be doing? Why you shouldn't feel bad about taking breaks or practising self care? RESOURCES Sleep Rituals For Tired Mums with Shea Morrison of The Goodnight Co How To Get What You Want - 4 Steps To Achieving Your Wildest Success Your Year (framework) WRAP UP I'm all about hustling with consciousness, heart, and purpose! This podcast is all about action.
So here's my action step for you:

The Power of Story In Business
Did you know that storytelling will be the biggest business skill you need in this digital age? It's true! Storytelling allows you to take the essence of your brand beyond your products and services to form a deep and emotional connection to your customers and tribe.
I tell my clients and students all the time that in order to build that desired know-like-trust factor, you must build relationships through story! Let your customers and followers relate to you, be inspired by you, and truly want to know YOU and your brand.
Storytelling is at the heart of success for businesses... and in today's episode, you're going to find out why! LET'S GET INTO IT So, I am really excited for today's conversation because we're covering a topic that I am so, so passionate about.
Today's guest is Michelle Knight! Michelle is a mother, wife, world traveler and avid storyteller. She is also a Branding and Business Coach and the founder of Brandmerry. Michelle works with female entrepreneurs who are struggling to gain visibility and traction in taking their business to the next level and she supports them in tapping into their story. Her biz journey has been incredible. In just 9 months, Michelle launched her freedom-based biz and left her 9 to 5, while raising a new baby. Just one year into her coaching business, Michelle created a 6-figure business and thriving community of women ready to share their story.
During this episode, Michelle is going to tell us all about the importance of storytelling and how to use it to create a stand out brand and message that positions you as an expert in your industry.
Welcome, Michelle! THE RECAP This episode was seriously a lot of fun for me because I'm so passionate about encouraging mums to share their stories. If you've ever wondered how to convey your brand's story to create a message and stand out biz, then grab a pen and paper because this episode is for YOU. 1. Introducing Michelle! As soon as I came across Michelle, I knew I had to get her onto my podcast. She has such a beautiful energy that surrounds her and such an amazing story to tell. She has achieved so much already in her biz, and I'm really excited for you to meet her.
Key Points We Discussed:
Who is Michelle Knight? What is Michelle's biz journey? How did Michelle found Brandmerry? 2. Becoming An Entrepreneur It doesn't matter how much experience you have in the biz world, fear is fear. When you take the leap into entrepreneurship, it's no joke. It's scary as hell, but in the end so, so worth it! In this section, Michelle is sharing how to overcome your fears and take the leap into full-time entrepreneurship.
Key Points We Discussed:
Why is taking the leap into entrepreneurship so scary? What advice does Michelle have for mums wanting to take the leap?
Believe it is possible. Lean in to the discomfort.
What quote really resonates with Michelle? 3. The Importance of Storytelling Storytelling is something I always encourage my clients to intertwine throughout their brand and Insta feeds. There IS power in story, and story helps build relationships.

Listen closely and get your pen and paper ready, this section is packed with tips!

In what ways can a mum begin feeling worthy of telling their story?
How To Start Collaborating on Instagram
Collaboration is a very powerful and effective way (and honestly, a very budget savvy way) to grow your business and build a powerful brand online.
Being a solopreneur can be really isolating, so having a squad out there on Instagram is so incredibly fun, plus it drives your business forward in ways you haven't even thought of yet.
If you're interested in creating long-lasting relationships with your peers and people you look up to while also growing your business, then this episode is definitely for you! LET'S GET INTO IT In this episode, I'm actually going to share a bit of a personal story on how I started connecting and collaborating with brands and fairly large influencers on Instagram with confidence. And, I did this all before I launched Mums With Hustle! THE RECAP Understanding your WHY and big motivating factor is essential to connecting and collaborating with confidence. This is because it is already a huge motivator to you that encourages you to go on out there, put on your big girl pants, feel the fear, and do it anyway.
If you're truly interested in learning how to collaborate without fear, then make sure you're taking notes.
As always, if you can't listen and you'd rather have a quick read - here's a recap of what I discussed in this episode. 1. Come From A Place of Service When you have who you are serving in your heart, you will be guided by such a strong driver! Listen, if you're an introvert, you're shy, lacking confidence, or even a brand new business - it can be so intimidating to reach out and connect with people on social media.
Sending a pitch can be scary, so if you have a huge WHY and mission that is close to your heart it will help motivate you to jump in and do it!
Key Points I Discussed:
Does your business come from a place of service?
What is your big WHY?
Dig deep and break through the surface level reasons behind your why. Tap into your values, your mission, and the bigger purpose. What is the legacy you're trying to build?
What does the serve mentality have to do with collaboration? 2. Making The Pitch I wanted to share a true and personal story that I told the ladies that attended Social ConXN earlier this month. It's full of a lot of golden nuggets, so make sure you have your pen and paper ready!
Key Points I Discussed:
Let's go back to the beginning of Mums With Hustle? What did I want Mums With Hustle to achieve?
Help inspire Give actionable business advice Spotlight and champion other women in business Create a community to celebrate the successes of other women
How did I pitch to women to be a guest on the Mums With Hustle Podcast?
Via Instagram I followed and engaged with women I thought were amazing and who were killing it I introduced myself via DMs almost immediately
Ways to use Instagram Stories to connect? 3. Listen To Your Intuition After you've made your pitch, you will feel so many different emotions. It's totally possible, you'll be rejected outright, but you cannot let that discourage you. In this section, I share more about how you need to listen to your intuition.
Key Points I Discussed:
Why should you start backing yourself? Ways you can ignore the negative voices (your ego!) in your head? How should you handle rejection? How can you reject someone politely? WRAP UP This episode was something I knew I had to share, even though it was quite personal. Literally, straight out of my journal. I really hope you take some of these tips and strategies to confidently connect with the women you admire.
Take a few minutes and write down 5-10 people you want to connect and collaborate with and start saying, “Hello!”.
Remember, it's totally cool to go slow, so you can go far!
If you're listening to this episode, I want you to take a picture of yourself or your surroundings and tag me @mumswithhustle because I want to see how you get your hustle on!

Sleep Rituals For Tired Mums
Ah, sleep. What even is that once you have kids? I will be the first to admit that my relationship with sleep became a little skewed once I had my boys... I was burning the midnight oil to try and finish writing one more module, answer one more email - one more this, one more that.
Over the last couple of years, I seriously became so used to not getting enough sleep that it became my new norm. It's not the best way to live (certainly not the healthiest) and I know that other bizmums are in the same sleepy boat.
That's why I'm using this space to chat with my special guest all about sleep wellness, how to create rituals, and really make it a habit to get a great night's sleep. LET'S GET INTO IT Before we dive into the episode, I want to say high-five, sister! I'm so proud that you're taking the time to develop yourself professionally by listening to my podcasts. Practising self care in this hectic world as a mum is tough, but you are a true mother hustler.
So, I am really excited for today's conversation because we're covering a topic a mum with hustle would love to get more of... sleep!
Today's guest is Shea Morrison. After a busy corporate career and becoming a mum, Shea joined her best friend, Danielle on their dream journey. With a personal interest in the role of sleep in wellbeing, she realised the importance of creating a ritual before bed. All of her research has led her to a carefully curated product range, focussed on creating the perfect night time routine for a restful sleep.
During this episode, Shea is going to share her insider strategies and knowledge to help you create a sleep ritual, establish a great relationship with sleep, and get those z's, mama! THE RECAP I hope you have drank your coffee and are ready to nod along because this episode is something that will really help you establish a better relationship with sleep, even if you have littles! 1. Introducing Shea! As soon as I came across The Goodnight Co. I knew I had to have a chat with one or both of the ladies behind the brand. I had the pleasure of booking in Shea (1/2 of the power duo) and she's going to give us so much insight into how to create the perfect routine for a restful sleep.
Key Points We Discussed:
Who is Shea Morrison? What is Shea's biz journey? Why is it so important to actually get restful sleep? How did Shea and Danielle found The Goodnight Co.? 2. Sleep Wellness There is not a one-size fits all sleep model, so how do we understand sleep wellness intuitively for each of our own bodies? This is something I had to know the answer too!
Key Points We Discussed:
Define sleep wellness? What criteria can we apply to know if we're on the right track to sleep wellness?
You should be getting 7-9 hours of sleep per night.
How does sleep wellness help you manage stress and anxiety? 3. Benefits of Sleep If your relationship with sleep is poor, don't fret! Shea will share a few ways to help you remedy your relationship with sleep, so it becomes a natural, healthy choice. Plus, we all know sleep is essential to our overall physical and mental health, but what other benefits can we reap from getting enough sleep? Listen to Shea as she dives deep into the benefits of sleep.
Key Points We Discussed:
How can mums fix their relationship with sleep?
Establish a sleep ritual. Don't be on technology (phone, tablets, laptops, etc.) before bed. Meditate and relax before bed.
What are the benefits of sleep?
How can creating a sleep ritual prevent bizmums from burning the midnight oil to get more done?
What is Shea's sleep ritual?
Soaking in a magnesium bath Cup of herbal tea Lighting a candle Reading a book A few squirts of magnesium oral spray
Using Facebook Groups To Grow Your Brand
A growing trend in the Facebook world is to establish a Facebook Group for your biz, in addition to your business page. This gives your tribe access to you and your biz so that you can build trust and real relationships by providing value and creating a community.
Navigating the Facebook Group world can be a little mind-boggling, and can sometimes turn into a waste of time if you're not using Facebook Groups properly.
Where should you start? How often should you be hanging out in your group? Do you actually need rules to run a successful Facebook group?
Whoa, mama! Sit back and relax because today I'm sharing how you can start using Facebook Groups to elevate your brand to new levels. LET'S GET INTO IT In this episode, I'm revealing how to use Facebook groups to grow your brand. Grab your pen and paper because I'm sharing the three key things you need to know before embarking on having a Facebook group! THE RECAP I truly hope you take some notes during this episode if you're keen to start your own Facebook group. In this episode, I share some really actionable and practical tips. If you can't listen and you'd rather have a quick read - here's a recap of what I discussed. As always, the juiciest bits are saved for your ears! 1. Know Your Primary (and Secondary) Purpose If you want to have a successful Facebook Group, you have to know your purpose! We're going to dive into various ways to figure out your primary and secondary purpose. I'll also be chatting about how to NOT use a Facebook Group in this section.
Key Points I Discussed:
How to figure out if your Facebook group should be community based? Should you have a group primarily for VIPs? Is it educational based only with you as the expert?
Use the group to build credibility and serve your tribe through free value. Let your tribe qualify themselves as to whether or not they'll become paid clients/customers.
Is your group part of a paid program you offer? How to NOT use a Facebook group?
As a replacement for your page. You cannot run ads to your group, so you need to have other means of getting people to join your group.
Should you start a group if your Facebook page is dead? 2. Consistency You should always show up consistently in all aspects of your biz, but especially in your Facebook Group! It will really shape the energy and flow of your community.
Key Points I Discussed:
How will you add value to your Facebook group? In what ways will you include video?
Pre-recorded video that serve a need or address a topic? Regular live videos? Getting in guests?
Will you have reoccurring threads? In what ways will you reinforce your group's culture and rules?
Decide on your rules and stick to them. Delete posts that break rules, regardless of who it is.
Key Points I Discussed:
Where should your rules live? How can you use the questions in the Member Request form to your advantage? How to choose your policy for rule breakers?
Decide on your policy for rule breakers. Do they get X amount of chances? Will you contact them? Do you have a response for if they contact you or your admin team about why their post was deleted?
Why rule breaking should never become personal? Should you message people before you delete them?
I used to because I am naturally a people pleaser, and I don't like hurting feelings. I tend to have high expectations of people and give the benefit of the doubt, so I'd tell myself they didn't mean to break the rules. Sometimes, I was scared to delete the post and face a possible conflict but Mums Wi...

3 Things I Wish I Knew About Entrepreneurship Before I Started
I think it's so important that we as business owners and entrepreneurs have some transparency behind our experience. It's great to inspire people with your success, but we must share our frustrations, vulnerabilities, and insecurities throughout our entrepreneurship journey.
If I'm being honest, I want you to know that I'm just like the mums in my tribe! I started my business without any capital, hustled during nap times, and for a short period of time, I returned to my day job. It's true that I am walking the same path as so many of you.
So it's with complete love and honesty that today I'm going to cast a spotlight on some of my own entrepreneurial struggles that I've faced and how I've overcome them. LET'S GET INTO IT In this episode, I'm revealing the three things I wish I knew about entrepreneurship before I founded Mums With Hustle. Yep - I'm getting real and raw with you about some of my headspace hangups, and how I work around them. THE RECAP I truly hope you take some time to really listen to this entire podcast. If you can't listen and you'd rather have a quick read - here's a recap of what I discussed. I really want to be the best mentor to you as possible - so the juiciest bits are saved for your ears! 1. Mum Guilt Oh my goodness! I have experienced my fair share of mum guilt because I'm an ambitious mother. Did you know that there are many mums that experience mum guilt and you don't even have to be a bizmum to experience it? So true!
Key Points I Discussed:
How am I an ambitious mother? What is my experience with mum guilt?
I was plagued with the most common forms of mum guilt because I wanted to be the best mum I could be. I felt like I was forced to split my attention between my biz and my children.
How can you push through mum guilt?
Keep in mind that we feel mum guilt because we're such awesome loving mothers. I think that's a really beautiful thing! Focus on how much of a loving and incredible mum you are. Think about the quality of time you spend with your children and your ability to be present in that time. Understand there will naturally be time when work/life demands more of you. Go with the ebbs and flows of our hectic lives. Have trust in yourself.
Key Points I Discussed:
How does your ego control so many of your feelings? When does imposter syndrome kick in? Why you shouldn't let imposter syndrome keep you small? How can you manage imposter syndrome?
Don't let the voice get too loud in your head. Don't seek out what makes you feel bad. Remove yourself from the settings that allow imposter syndrome kick in. Practise self-care - it can be something little that makes you feel good. Hang with the people who are in your corner! Have a conversation in real life with someone that can understand and listen to where you are and then tell you it's b.s. and shed some light on the situation.
Key Points I Discussed:
How am I incredibly disciplined when it comes to working from home? How can you combat the isolation?
Leave the house for a business lunch or for coffee. Schedule the time in where you can go outside and get social. Attend a networking event in your area. There's so much value in attending these things where you can connect with people in real life.
RESOURCES Understanding the Ambitious Mother with Kirstin Bouse
Understanding The Ambitious Mother
At Mums With Hustle, I LOVE a bizmum who is ambitious, eager to learn, ready to embrace any bizmum breakdowns, and is keen to build her empire on her own terms and in her own time.
There have been several surveys conducted to discover whether or not a mother is more or less ambitious after having a baby... One study reported that 35 percent of women without kids were interested in starting a business, while more than half of mums surveyed (53%) said they'd like to start their own business within a year of having their child.
Not a surprise! Being a bizmum is a tough, but an oh, so rewarding journey that allows you to design the life you want to live.
My tribe consists of women who want their successful careers or to create kick-ass businesses and smash all of their goals, but they also want to be the best mother they can be because they value mothering to the best of their ability.
The average mum with hustle has a fuel within her to pursue her passions and make an impact beyond her home.
Sound familiar?
If you've ever asked yourself if you're cut out for business as a mother, then this is the podcast episode for YOU. LET'S GET INTO IT Turn this episode up and grab a notebook (if you can) because this is one episode you do not want to miss a beat in.
Today's guest is Kirstin Bouse is a Clinical Psychologist. She owns a group private practice in Perth, where she works with expectant women, new mums and not so new mums. Kirstin is also the Founder of The Conscious Mother. Through this business, Kirstin runs personal growth retreats for mothers who want to develop their self-awareness, heal old hurts and discover the mother they want to be. She has also developed the Ambitious Mother Program, consisting of a Retreat and Coaching Sessions, for women who wish to create kick-arse business or pursue rewarding careers AND be the mothers they want to be. Both The Conscious and Ambitious Mothers programs are run in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne.
So give a huge welcome to Kirstin, and let's get into it! THE RECAP I absolutely loved having such an honest conversation with Kirstin about being a mother and striving to really smash your goals in business. During this chat, you will learn that Kirstin is the epitome of an ambitious mother, and she provides such valuable key-learnings to help you make the most of this wild journey as a bizmum. 1. Introducing Kirstin! I had the pleasure of meeting Kirstin in person, and she's absolutely LOVELY! I knew I had to get her onto the podcast to share her wealth of knowledge with my fellow bizmums.
Key Points We Discussed:
Who is Kirstin Bouse? What is Kirstin's biz journey?
Key Points We Discussed:
What is an ambitious mother?
She wants to make an impact in the world – big or small – separate to raising great kids. A woman who gets excited by a particular area of ‘work’ and wants to achieve great things in that area. She wants to be fabulous at providing her service or product, have a great reputation, and grow her business all the while being available to her kids in whatever way feels right for her.
What prompted Kirstin to come up with the term “ambitious mother”? What is the Ambitious Mother Program? 3. Kirstin's Journey as an Ambitious Mother Kirstin is obviously an ambitious mother, so I was curious as to what her journey has been like.
Key Points We Discussed:
What has Kirstin's journey as an ambitious mother been like? What are Kirstin's key learnings as an ambitious mother?
Set your own rules. Work out YOUR values as a woman, mother and business owner. Work to your natural temperament and your strengths Develop serious self-compassion. Have a truly supportive sisterhood in both mother and business stuff (2 separate groups if need be).
How Instagram Can Transform Your Business
Time is a huge factor when it comes to mums stepping into any courses or programs to better their business.
If you're afraid of time as a bizmum, I have some advice for you:
Time is going to pass by, whether you have a strategy or not.
I know what it feels like to experience Instagram overwhelm, to feel like you always have to come up with good content but you don't know what content to post, the guilt that comes along with having your face buried in an app instead of spending time with your family, and to feel bummed by not getting likes, clicks, or generating an income from Instagram.
This is why I've reverse engineered my strategies and methods to help you skip the learning period and start generating Instagram success. My course Hashtag Hustle will give you time back and help you make the most of your business.
Today, I've invited an awesome Hashtag Hustle graduate onto the podcast to chat about her experience with Instagram before and after Hashtag Hustle! LET'S GET INTO IT I am seriously so excited to introduce today's guest 'cause she's here to discuss how her business has thrived on Instagram (even during her total rebrand!), simply because she puts in the work. She's graduated from Hashtag Hustle and has been implementing the strategies she learned along the way!
Today's guest is Angela Sibley, a mum to three girls who initially started her biz as a creative outlet. Angela has a natural love for home decorating and organisation, so she brings her customers a range of interior decorations and DIY tips, tricks, and hacks that are unique, bold and distinctive to the Decor Me brand and your home.
During this episode, Angela is going to talk about her major struggles and hurdles on Instagram, how difficult it was to grow a brand on Insta before knowing any form of strategy, her wins post-course, and her transformations into the Insta queen she is today!
So give a huge welcome to Ange, and let's get into it! THE RECAP I absolutely adore Angela for being so honest about her marketing game on Instagram before Hashtag Hustle. During this chat, you will learn that Angela has such a drive to better her biz and really soak up as much knowledge as she can to make the most of her business. A true mother hustler! 1. Introducing Angela! Angela has been a mum with hustle for so long! If you look at her journey, she has always been a dedicated, and determined busy bee, so it's no surprise that her business is taking off.
Key Points We Discussed:
Who is Angela Sibley? What is Angela's biz journey? Why is it important to Angela to invest in herself? Why do you think being organised is so important for mum and in particular bizmums? 2. Angela's Journey With Growing A Tribe on Instagram Angela's passion to learn about Instagram is amazing! Her Insta transformation is something I've been so proud to witness.
Key Points We Discussed:
What was Angela's biggest struggles and hurdles when using the platform? What was the most frustrating part about growing a tribe was before Angela took Hashtag Hustle? At what point did Angela realise she needed help mastering Instagram? What is Angela's tip to getting stuff done?
Angela plans everything into her week, but she always allow herself to be very flexible #becausekids. Think ahead and plan courses, challenges, etc. into your life.
Key Points We Discussed:
Was there something that had a profound effect on the way Angela approaches business and marketing on Instagram as a result from taking Hashtag Hustle??
Angela reports increased confidence in posting on her Insta Stories.
How using Instagram Stories helped Angela relaunch her business? 4. Angela's Biz Rebrand Doing a biz rebrand is hard.
Doing Business With Your Husband - Behind The Scenes at MWH
It has been awhile since Karl and I did a podcast episode together - remember MWH 100 : Routines, Smoothies, and World Domination! Celebrating 100 Episodes With A Look Inside Tracy's World? What a crazy fun episode that was! Since that episode, Karl has came into Mums With Hustle full-time, leaving his well-paying 9-5 career.
I wanted to give you an update as to where we are at in biz and life because you ladies asked for it! LET'S GET INTO IT Are you ready to get brought up to speed in what's been going on in MWH land? This episode is definitely for you if you've been listening since episode one! This episode will feature my business partner, co-founder, and husband, Karl (aka Mr. Hustle). 1. Bringing Karl On Full-Time Karl explains his why behind coming into Mums With Hustle full-time and what it really was like leaving his steady 9-5 that he loved. Karl is just as invested in this mission as I am! I really want to note that, we're not rich by any means, we simply back what we're doing 100%. Yep, we are all in! We know the impact and transformation that awaits our tribe, and we want to live our best life - a life by design.
Key Points We Discussed:
Why did Karl leave his full-time job if he loved it so much? What was the transition like for Karl to take the leap? Why it is important to Karl to be a more present parent? How we are going working together on the business? What is our working schedule while they boys are in daycare? 2. Who Does What In The Biz? Something I get asked a lot is, “Who does what in your biz?” Today, I am going to share with you what each of us do behind the scenes at Mums With Hustle and what our roles are.
Key Points We Discussed:
What is Tracy's job at Mums With Hustle?
I'm the dynamics! I'm the teacher, the content creator in terms of anything that is written (emails, social media posts, ebooks, course content), the community builder, the speaker (IRL and on lives).
What is Karl's job at Mums With Hustle?
Karl is the mechanics! He's here to make things work for you - the podcast, builds the course and all products, shoots all video, understands every single piece of software and tech involved in our biz. Hiring and firing! Making sure everything we do stays on brand! He's a huge nerd when it comes to technology, and he really loves improving the customer journey and experience.
What do we do together?
We have strategic business conversations with each other and goal setting! Together we're always brainstorming things. Big picture stuff at Mums With Hustle.
Key Points We Discussed:
Do we ever get annoyed at each other by working with each other?
Of course we get annoyed with each other! Normally, we just stare blankly at each other with this look: “You're pissing me off right now.” We don't drag any arguments on or press any buttons.
An example from when I or Karl get fired up?
When Karl interrupts my Instagram Stories!
Key Points We Discussed:
How do most males operate?
Most males are less emotional, and a bit more brutal. They're much more direct.
The importance of calling your business, your business - not a side hustle or hobby?
Why you should use the same type of biz language he uses?
Talk about quarterly goals (facts and figures), conference calls, workshops, bizmum meet-ups!
Why you need to stop assuming he understands what you do?
Sit down and show him your business.

How NOT to SUCK at writing!Have you ever sat down to write a caption for your social media posts and thought, “agr, bugger it!” I don’t have anything great to say so I won’t post, or maybe you do post something but you cringe every time because writing just ain’t your forte!If you’ve ever delayed putting a plan into action because you are doubting your writing abilities, you are not alone.

Use the same words that you use in everyday life. If you do use slang and abbreviations regularly in your lingo, weave them through your posts, blogs, within your email marketing – EVERYTHING. This will humanise your writing.Get personal – add personal experiences and feelings into your pieces. Go as deep as you feel comfortable going. Your audience will reward you.Imagine you are having a conversation with a friend - keep it personal and engaging.If you feel uncomfortable writing, record yourself speaking, transcribe it then edit it to fit. This is a much better option than coming across as stiff and uninviting.Don’t ever publish anything you don’t believe in.

Today on the podcast I’m chatting to the gorgeous and talented, Olivia White. Olivia is the cool, truth-telling mummy blogger behind her blog House of White. Her blog is all about her ‘new mum’ journey – the good, the bad and the not so glam bits. There are interviews with inspirational and celebrity mothers and reviews of things and places that Olivia and her babes love. Her writing style is always honest, fun, transparent, entertaining and totally relatable! When Olivia is not ‘House of Whiting’ she’s franticly playing mummy to two beautiful girls Annabelle (2.5) and Theodora aka Teddy (4 months). Her long time love and husband (that’s handy!) is Jeremy. He owns his own business selling mobility aids and equipment to the elderly and disabled. Olivia’s background is in Marketing & PR where she was once a fashion blogger. Olivia loved the blog life so much she turned it into a full time job. To say she’s gaining traction is an understatement. One of her recent blog posts was shared worldwide (The Sun, Daily Mail, US Weekly and Cosmo just to name a few) and as a result, Olivia landed a freelance gig with Cosmopolitan! Snap! THIS WEEK’S PODCAST This week we learn all about Olivia and what led her to start her blog, House of White. We get an inside peek into the glam (cue Olivia “it ain’t that glam”) world that is mummy blogging. We chat about her process, from planning her content to enticing readers to engage with her and some of the pain points that come with living the ‘blog life’. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN 1. The importance of a great headline 2. Tips to write a popular blog3. How to plan your content 4. How to monetise your blog 5. How to work with Bloggers and Influencers to market your biz OLIVIA’S EXPERT ADVICE Post blogs at a regular frequency, decide on one and stick to it! It takes a long time to build your following and readership – it’s a marathon not a sprint! Understand each social media platform and utilise each differently to promote your blog. KNOW your audience – when will they be online, how can you reach them and what will they respond to? Do make use of click bait titles (within reason!) to entice potential readers. Don’t get dismayed by competition – there are billions of people in the world and we ALL have something to offer. HOW TO PITCH A GUEST BLOG POST TO A LARGER BLOG Make use of their submission box to submit your piece Personalise your communication with the blog, find out who the relevant contacts are and address everything via their first name. Be sure to include how your piece will resonate with their audience. Use relevant imagery so they don’t have to source it for you. Include a bio about you and include all social links. Be CONFIDENT! HOW TO MONETISE YOUR BLOG Make contact with relevant PR Companies.Tell them who you are and how you can work together. Be selective in who you work with.Detail how you would execute your arrangement. Highlight what you can do for them. It has been such an honour connecting with Olivia to learn all about her blogging process and I can’t thank her enough for sharing her fab tips with us! She’s honestly SO laidback, authentic and REAL it was like chatting to a friend. Thanks Olivia!

Yup, we’re talking outsourcing, and VA’s specifically.Owning your own business is something that most people are so protective of, naturally, right?

INTROSo Biz Mums, it’s SUCH an exciting time for us. The term mumpreneur is well and truly cemented in society’s vocabulary and we should all give ourselves a giant pat on the back for being part of the movement. YAY us! In saying that though, hands up if you feel like you’re squeezing more in than ever before? Hands up if your whole life is in your diary and you feel the strain to constantly juggle life, business, motherhood, work, being a wife and trying to maintain something resembling a social life? YUP, my hands are UP. That’s why it’s so important to figure out WHY you do what you do and remain authentic. It’s SO EASY to loose sight of the bigger picture and get bogged down in the details. I know my WHY is of course, my family but for me my WHY is YOU. No jokes peeps, it is you. I want to help as many biz mums as possible, I want you to kick butt, hustle hard and pretty much ROCK at everything you do. So thank you for being my WHY and pushing me to achieve more each and everyday. This week, I’m joined by Kara Vaina who is one incredible half of the biz Keopha.

Kara comes to us with a WEALTH of knowledge having worked in a variety of industries like Human Resources, Corporate Travel AND she even had her own online clothing store for little dudes. When she’s not tied up in all things Keopha, she’s knee deep in #mumlife chasing after her two little boys aged 6 and 23 months. THIS WEEK’S PODCAST In this week’s Podcast we chat about being your authentic self and what that actually means. We talk in depth about why it’s crucial for you to find your ‘WHY’ in business.

Your WHY should make you cry because this is at the heart and soul of WHY you do what you do.Be honest, does your business truly fulfil your WHY? Are you in the right business to fulfil your WHY? Ask yourself this raw question and be truthful.

Ok, so we’ve chatted about mama guilt on the podcast before and at some point or another, we all feel it creep up and it sucks. Raising kids and juggling a biz is hard, doing it all from home, while taking care of the kids brings an extra dimension of pressure and to say that juggling it all is overwhelming is a massive understatement. I hear from women all the time about how they feel guilty working from home and sometimes giving in and putting on the TV for the kids while they get some work done, or while they just sit and take 5. I hear from women themselves who say they feel like they just can’t switch off from their biz mode because they are constantly checking their phones, be it for social media, text messages, notifications buzzing or constantly checking their email. Today’s guest is here to share some major tips with us but she is also here to educate us on the healthy and helpful ways we can use technology in our business’s and how we can manage our kids’ screen-time without feeling guilty. Joining me on the podcast this week, is the down to earth and super knowledgeable Dr Kristy Goodwin. Dr Kristy is a children’s technology and development researcher, she’s a passionate speaker, blogger, author, and of course, a hustling mama on a mission. Her super power is to make parents feel confident raising their kids in the digital age. When Dr Kristy isn’t changing the world or running after her boys (Taj, 5 & Billy, 2), she makes it a priority to carve some alone time out for herself. Her intense exercise routine (6 days a week!) enables her to re-set the engine and continue her crucial work. THIS WEEKS PODCAST In this week’s podcast, we talk about mindset and the incredible way this can lead you to success, the importance of self-care and Dr Kristy shares her top productivity hacks that will help all of us biz mummas reach our potential. Winning! BONUSUS Dr Kristy is offering us Biz Mummas 10% discount on her video seminars and book ‘Raising Your Child in a Digital World’. Just use the code HUSTLE10.

PUBLISH A BOOK - TURN YOUR DREAMS INTO A REALITY!YEEEHAA!So, you've got a million and one ideas for your book and not sure where to start? Never fear, we're chatting to Sarah Barbour in this week's podcast where she takes us through the journey of making your dream a reality and GETTING IT PUBLISHED! By the end of this, you'll be able to publish a book like a boss. Trust me!I know, it seems overwhelming to begin with but Sarah breaks it down into bite sized pieces for us and I promise by the end you'll be ready to smash it out of the park!THIS WEEK'S PODCASTSarah Barbour from Aeroplane Media is an expert in the field having written 5 WHOLE books herself. She's an accomplished book coach and editor who specialises in helping entrepreneurs take a basic idea, workshop it and GET IT PUBLISHED! Being a hustling mama herself, she get's what it's like to get a big project done with little people underfoot. BUT it is possible and Sarah's going to tell us all about it! SWEET!I can promise you you're going to come away with actionable items and lots of ideas on how you're going to execute your super dooper ideas.WHAT YOU WILL LEARNI asked Sarah to outline the fundamentals to consider before starting and she's come up with these pearls of wisdom on how to publish a book:Have a book plan - know why you're writing a book and who you are writing it for.Have a writing plan - try to commit to a certain amount of words per day and SCHEDULE time to write them.Have a publishing plan - you don't have to work it out in minute detail, but you should have a general idea of what you're going to do with it once it's done.Be really clear about who your audience is and how you will make money.Don't get hung up on not having an original idea and not being 'expert' enough to write a book. Just go for it!In a nutshell, one of the biggest learnings I took away from my chat with Sarah is that ANYONE can write a book. You don't need to be a scholar, a published author or even a knowledge expert. All you need is a PLAN, heart and determination to turn your dream into a reality. Go for it Mumma's!You CAN Publish a Book!Here's a lowdown of what Sarah and I chatted about:Sarah's journey from a handcrafter to a Book Coach for EntrepreneursThe similarities and differences between a physical book and an e-bookWhat inspires people to write a bookHow to publish a bookThe process of writing a book from beginning to endThe challenges of writing a bookHow to use a book to generate incomeHow to market your bookDeciding on a price pointBONUSESSarah is offering all MWH members free access to her guide “Is a Book Right for Your Business?” It covers both practical considerations and mental attitudes that can put you in a stronger position to write a book.

Woah!!!So this week I felt way out of my comfort zone but I know that it’s something all of us biz mums need to get comfortable with ASAP, and that’s numbers!Now I know that it can sound like a dry, boring, even nerdy topic BUT don’t get it twisted girl, this is Mums With Hustle, so our guest is anything but those things!Stacey Price, from Healthy Business Finances, is not your suit wearing, briefcase carrying, typically boring, accountant. She’s a hustling’ biz mum accountant, whose superpower, in my opinion, is to make numbers less daunting and more normal for the everyday mama like you and I.I can promise you that you’re not going to get left behind on this one. Stacey puts everything in a way that can be understood by the absolute beginner and numbers novice. She’s super knowledgable, experienced and easy to talk to. I love it.So yeah, we chat numbers in this podcast (obviously) but we also chat about other aspects of biz mum life and what it’s like to market your service-based biz.I asked Stacey to list three of the most common mistakes biz mums make. Want to know what she had to say?Here we go!1. They don't test their idea from a financial viewpoint. So they know people might love their idea, but they don't work out what people (other than friends and family) are willing to pay, and how many services or products they need to sell to break even.2. They don't understand the basic setup - so things like ABN, business name, tax invoices, GST - these are vital and if done incorrectly can lead to customers not paying and potential legal action and fines for trading incorrectly.3. Not paying themselves a wage from the start. Paying a wage (even a teeny tiny one) is mostly about mindset when you start. Put small amounts away for yourself to prove your business is financially sustainable, and grow it bit by bit.In a nutshell, one the biggest learnings that I took away from my chat with Stacey is that with numbers, it’s about being PROACTIVE rather than reactive. So if you want to get your numbers head into gear, sooner rather than later, you need to listen to this episode. Here’s the lowdown of what we chat about:Stacey's start up journey - from idea to launchHow to validate you bizLearn how to swap services - get your hustle onWhere to focus your time and energy to ensure ROICommon mistakes biz mums make when it comes to managing money in their bizHow to start understanding your numbersHow to plan for tax as a solopreneur Choosing and using the correct accounting system for youWhy you need to start paying yourself a wageWhat to do when your bank account doesn't reflect your efforts When to know if you're ready to start hiring staffWhen and how to start outsourcingHow to market your service-based biz online Ready to dive in?Let’s get into it!Live Q&A in our Private Facebook GroupJoin us this Wednesday 8th June at 8.30pm AEST for a LIVE Q&A with Stacey Price.

Here’s two facts I want to put out there.1. There’s no such thing as an overnight success. and 2. If you treat your biz like a hobby, it will always be a hobby.There are a few reasons why us mums look at our businesses as a hobby:It’s a safety net - we’re protecting ourselves We don’t know how to make it a formal bizWe still have a “regular” jobI want you to know that incredible things will start to happen when you shift gears and really commit. Taking daily action (no matter how small) will create momentum. Developing your confidence and mindset will effect how you think, speak and communicate about your biz to others and yourself.I started this podcast because I believe in teaching back and helping out my fellow sisters. Starting a biz is hard, and doing it from home, with kids, is even harder. I thought to myself, if only someone would just keep it real and share the process as they went along, rather than just those other podcasts or blogs where millionaires share their tips and strategies on how to rock it like a mega entrepreneur! That’s great and all, and I listen to those podcasts from time to time, but what is more helpful, is hearing from others who walk the same path as you, those who aren’t too far ahead to remember what steps they took and why, those who get your vibe and who share the same struggles and the same dream.So Mums With Hustle was born.I thought, screw it. I have the passion and the skills to be that person. I’ll start this business and I’ll be honest about sharing what works. I’ll build a community and I’ll find guests from different industries and niches who can come on and share their particular angle on things. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Learning is best done in community. That is a proven fact! Learning from your peers is more motivating and less intimidating. It’s also WAY more relevant.This week’s guest is straight from our tribe of Mums With Hustle!She’s an action-taking biz mum, who keeps it real and that’ why she’s on the podcast today as a MWH success story. It’s been incredible watching her biz grow and change, watching her collaborate and gain in confidence. Her product is kick-ass! Anna Skaroupka is the designer and owner of Print and Party. A graphic design biz, specialising in event and business stationery. Prior to her biz, Anna was a devoted primary teacher but she’s been able to take her fave bits of the job and use them to create her own brand and business. Graphic design and pretty things is her jam!Check out all the gems that we chat about during this episode:Anna’s start-up journeyComing up with your business conceptFrom concept to launchOvercoming fear as a start-up biz mumHow to turn a light bulb moment into successBiggest learning to date that other start-up mums need to knowChallenges of being a mum boss Time management tips for hustling solopreneursAutomation and productivity for the WAHMHow to get the most out of your email newslettersHow to price your product and value your timeYou’ll catch Anna talking about her email newsletters that she sends to her subscribers.

Learning how to find your customers and then get comfortable ‘selling’ is a huge deal. Converting followers into customers is a huge deal and generating consistent profit is the goal for all of us, right? This episode will walk you through how to sell and feel good about it plus we deep dive into email marketing in a way that we never have before on the podcast. We all love our businesses but a biz can’t run on love alone. At the end of the day we all need to make ends meat, we all want to be profitable! Most people start their own business/es to create the life they want, one that can’t be realised from slugging it out in the traditional workplace. For some, that’s earning potential, for others that’s being creative or it’s the awesome feeling that comes from sticking it to the man and doing your own thang! For others, it’s flexibility and family time that is a large motivator. Whatever has lead you to take your entrepreneurial leap, we all want to feel validated and know that have something that others want/need. Learning how to sell and feel good about it takes time but it’s something we all need to achieve ASAP! Catherine Langman is a success coach for productpreneurs and she is not for the faint hearted.

I am MAD about Instagram. I have been able to grow my brand presence there, over the past 7 months, quicker than any other platform I’m on and I’ve done it without a product. I make that last point because I know a lot of mumpreneurs with service-based businesses feel like they need a product to be able to gain exposure and grow their brand quickly on Insta.I disagree.You don’t need a product but you do need 3 other ingredients to grow your brand on Instagram. So what are they?IntentionConsistency; andA willingness to collaborate authenticallyMy guest this week is a super star mumpreneur when it comes to supporting other mama businesses on Instagram.

Becoming a mother is one of the most transforming experiences a woman can ever go through. Everything changes. Honestly, most things for the better, but certainly not everything! There’s the relationship changes with your partner/husband and friends. There’s the reality of whether or not you’ll be able to return to your former career. There’s realigning your own expectations and making sense of your new reality. There the new responsibility and physical/emotional healing. There’s the constant juggle of mum life with home life, work life and just LIFE! Starting a business throws a whole other dynamic into the mix! Are we crazy? Some say we are. But they are the ones who don’t walk in your arena of bravery. That’s cool. There are others who do! These are the choices that you need to surround yourself with.Gervase Kolmos is one sassy homegirl you need to spend some time with and I had the pleasure of her company in my latest episode. I seriously felt like I was having the girly chat that I needed. She’s a tell-it-how-it-is, no BS, a bit sarcastic, funny, seriously wise gal and she’s someone you want in your corner to pull you out of your funk when you need it! Gervase is on mission to help women ditch the shame and guilt that somehow sneaks into so many aspects of our motherhood journey. Gervase has invested so much into living her purpose. She has turned her painful experience of postpartum depression into a grace which has allowed her to help transform the lives of her Mama Soul Tribe. If you’ve ever felt the guilt, the burden, the overwhelm, the shame, the fear, the frustration, the pain and all the other stuff that society says we have to hide about our motherhood experience, then this an opportunity to hang with a Mama who gets it!Grab a cup of tea or something nice (if you can) and join me as I chat to Gervase about so much!In this episode:Transitioning into motherhoodOvercoming PPDThe importance of self development, masterminds and mentorsHow to deal with overwhelm as a WAHMSelf-careOvercoming mindset struggles as a Mum entrepreneurStrategies for dealing with Mama guiltWhat to do when your biz starts to impact upon your relationshipHow to get to the other side of fearWhy you need to invest in yourself
What skills are you sitting on from your current or previous job that could be turned into your own biz?This week's guest is a former primary teacher who was able to combine her favourite parts of her teaching job, with her skills and a need, to create a biz that has allowed her to leave the 9-5 and create the life she wants.Susan Burke from Interactive Lessons Design, runs a subscription based website that is transforming the way teachers teach and students learn! As a teacher myself, and a mad lover of technology to help improve student engagement in the classroom, I am thrilled to have Susan on the podcast and beyond excited for her and the success that she has achieved to date.Creating these interactive whiteboard lessons was of interest for Susan, it was in her skill set and it was also a great way to occupy herself during her hours spent wide awake with insomnia. Any teacher will tell you (me included), how demanding the job is when you literally have to create everything yourself, lessons included, learning new technology included! So, when Susan saw these Interactive Whiteboards going under-utilised in many classrooms, she asked herself, “why”? The answer… teachers are time poor. They don't have time to learn the tech nor the time to make their lessons using the software that the school had purchased for them. Money was being wasted and not every student was being given the equal opportunity to engage in learning, using this type of technology.So there was Susan. She had an idea that had the secret sauce!!! What’s in the sauce? Only three ingredients.Interest, skills and a need. Join me on the podcast to find out HOW Susan took her idea and ran with it. Discover how she hustled to get her biz off the ground. Hear her speak openly about her fears, her failures and her biggest business breakthroughs. Be inspired by a regular Mum, who has been able to make her passion her paycheque!In this episode we explore:How to come up with a business idea.Ways to validate your business idea.The challenges of starting an online business while you still have your regular job.How to leverage relationships.The importance of collaboration and connecting face-to-face.Failures and lessons learned as an online business.Tips for overcoming obstacles as a work at home Mum.Ways to monetise from your online subscription based service.
Wholesale!Many of the Mums in biz that I serve are productpreneurs, meaning they design, make and brand their own products. They may sell them at markets or via their e-commerce store BUT they have also thought about getting their products in retail outlets and starting the wholesale process. They just don’t know how and they haven’t had time to do the research.That’s where this podcast comes in handy!To help you feel confident and know if wholesale is for you, I’ve invited Melanie Sorensen onto the podcast to share her expertise and give you the 101 on WHOLESALE.The best way to start the wholesale process is to get informed and then start taking action by approaching the local businesses in your area.Why stay local?There are a number of reasons but firstly there’s the added bonus of the location. People like to support local. Getting the most out of your retail connection will involve close communication and if you’re like the rest of the mamas I know, the hours in your day melt like butter, so travelling crazy distances out of area just doesn’t make sense.A second reason is that starting small will give you all the experience that you need to get to the place that you need to be before you start contacting larger retail chains for wholesale opportunities. You’ll have built up confidence, you’ll have your pricing figured out, you’ll know the lingo and areas where you can negotiate… There’s so much to gain from taking baby steps.Now, there are a lot of things that prevent people from going wholesale and it’s not just confidence. It’s also things like pricing, agreements, minimum order quantities, line sheets, how to deal with returns from customers and the expectation of in-store displays.If you’ve started your biz without the intention of going wholesale with your product and now you’re thinking, "yes, this is something I want to expand into”, the good news is that you might be able to! It’s certainly not off the cards.If you’re at the very early days of your biz, then this is a podcast you don’t want to miss, particularly as we chat about the ins and outs of pricing (you never know where your biz journey will take you). Dream BIG start small baby!I definitely recommend a pen and paper for this one. So if you don’t have one handy, go grab one because you’re going to learn a tonne!Get ready to learn:How to start the process of getting your products in storesLine sheets - what is it, what goes onto it, how to create it.How to price your products for wholesale.Understanding minimum order quantities.In-store displays - are they essential?How to feel comfortable selling.What goes into an agreement?Advice for getting the absolute most out of any wholesale relationship/agreement.Freebie - www.mumswithhustle.com/episode29In true Mums With Hustle style, I’ve made you a freebie printable worksheet to help you get yourself started with wholesale. It’s my “Wholesale Goal Sheet”. This will make more sense when you listen to the podcast but it’s essentially taking the ‘wishing’ and ‘dreaming’ about wholesale and turning it into a plan. There’s power in writing things down with pen and paper, so if ready to start that process, you can access your freebie by filling in your email address (so I know where to send it) and hey presto, you’re ready to go!Oh! A bonus is that Melanie will be our guest in the Mums With Hustle Biz Club (free private FB page). It will take place on Wednesday April 20, 2016 at 8.30pm AEST. Have your questions prepped and ready to post live. If you can’t make it, we will keep the thread up for you to access and read when it suits you.Ready to join me on the podcast?
Connect & Collaborate with Confidence!This entrepreneurial journey is full of uncomfortable feelings, it takes serious mental game to survive and make it as an entrepreneur and the emotional rollercoaster doesn’t discriminate if you’re an online product based biz, a bricks and mortar store, a service based business - it’s there in the midst of all of those places.There’s the peaks, the troughs, the endless ideas, second guessing, the rejection, the uncertainty, the uninvited inner critic and the issues of self-confidence when reaching out to work with others. I know that last point is really a major pain point for a lot of you MWH so I wanted to share my learning and tips for connecting with confidence because it is SO important that we get to a place where we feel confident to connect with others, regardless of the outcome.I hear that many of you in the MWH tribe struggle to connect with other brands and bloggers for many of the reasons I just mentioned so it is my hope that in listening to this episode today, you will walk away knowing that you are not alone, that you are worthy of great things, that there are others who do want to work with you. In this episode, I give you ideas on HOW to approach individuals, even for those who are introverts, or those that have a smaller following, even those that don’t have a physical product!I got through HEAPS and then wrap it up with my 5 steps to start connecting TODAY!Take stock of your SFD, change the narrative you are telling yourself, take yourself out of it and be motivated by your why and who you are serving.Know who your ideal client/customer/avatar is and identify who currently holds them as an audience (check out the podcast I did with Lanna from One Small Step Coaching for a deep dive into that).Create your wish list of people that you want to build an authentic connection with and figure out how you can best serve one another.Select one individual from that wish list and do a brain dump of all the possible ways that you could collaborate together in an authentic way.Begin getting on their radar or approach them directly (whichever one you feel most comfortable doing).FREEBIE - To make step 4 easy for you, I have taken the thinking out of it for you and created an awesome freebie for you and that is my "17 easy ways to connect with bloggers, businesses and social media influencers” You can grab it here by filling in your details below.www.mumswithhustle.com/connectIn this Podcast I delve into connecting and focus on:- 5 Steps to making your first true connection- How to truly ‘Connect’ with people to build business- How to grow your biz through connecting on social media- Strategies to drive traffic to your blog- Overcoming the mental barriers of reaching out- The inner critic- Dealing with rejection- Learning that ‘saying no’ isn’t always a bad thing
Nothing motivates me more than a good success story! So when this week’s guest contacted me, I had a belly full of excitement for her and a heart that was going to burst. ACTION, my friends, is the thing that separates the dreamers from the doers! This week's guest is a Mum With Hustle and a handmaiden, who is madly passionate about growing her biz. She's gotten off to a raring start and is going to share her learnings and actions so that you can do the same. The beauty about interviewing start-ups is that their story is relevant, NOW! This is business building in today’s context, through the lens of a Mum who is doing her best as a wife and a mother, as the keeper of her home and as a woman who has enormous purpose, aspirations and talents. This stuff is live and you’re invited to follow along!Rebecca Martin-turner is owner of her brand new biz, Aviva, an online store providing baby clothing and accessories. Rebecca launched Aviva in mid November 2015 and within 3 weeks after jumping onto Instagram she had 400 followers. At the time we recorded this episode, Aviva was about to reach 1000 followers and they are a quality following because in this short amount of time Rebecca has made many successful sales, already being able to use a percentage of profits for personal use, without worrying about having to cover costs and without all of it having to go straight back to the business. Rebecca has already starting doing authentic collaborations and she’s fast establishing herself a good reputation within the handmade community. She’s got a clear plan in place for growing her biz and her clientele and she’s not shy about sharing how she’s done it. See why I had to get this babe on the podcast?I know that for many biz mums, the thought of jumping onto Instagram is a scary one because it’s soooo different to Facebook but that’s a good thing! This allows you to get creative in a new way and let’s face it, Insta is still the hot place for handmade when it comes to social media marketing. We’ll see what happens when the algorithm changes take place, but we can’t waste time speculating, so we’ll move on for now! I have no doubt that it will become increasingly more crucial to join forces with others and collaborate in some way, shape or form, to keep getting your brand out there.One of the best ways to do that as a product-based biz on Instagram is with Brand Reps. As you’ll pick up in the podcast, Brand Reps are individuals who post quality images of your product in use, in exchange for product (Brand Enthusiasts do the same but with less structure around their expectations, and in return, they receive a considerable discount).Are you ready to dive into this week’s podcast?I can’t wait for you to join us as we chat about the following:How to stand out in a crowded market.How to get a strong start and maintain momentum as a new biz.Gain exposure and grown your brand via social media.Get the low down on hashtags.How to come up with a winning formula for your Instagram posts.What a brand rep is and why you should consider it?How to establish criteria for your brand rep search.How to run your BR search.How to select a great BR (what to look for and what to avoid).What is a Brand Enthusiast?

Defining and understanding your WHY is the topic of this week’s podcast. Every single decision you make about your business should ALWAYS come back to your WHY - think of it like your business compass.At it's simplest, your why reminds you why you get out of bed to do what you do (so important when you're a mum and your energy and focus is being pulled into 100 different directions). Your why will help you make decisions that are right for YOU: if it just doesn't feel right, more often than not, that’s because it doesn't align with your why.This is a cracker of an episode to kick off the new working year. To make the most out this week’s podcast, I have shared a video with you It’s Simon Sinek’s TED Talk and it’s all about the WHY!

This week we have the privilege of chatting to Heather Rowland from Kippins. The lady that has put a laser focus on doing one thing and doing it well - cotton comforters.How exciting! Heather and her husband run this thriving business that was born out of Heather’s crazy pregnancy dreams and fears of “never being able to sleep well again” once baby number one arrived. Well, it’s safe to say that Heather’s creative dreams have helped many children (and their parents) get their much-needed rest with the help of her organic, on trend, comforter friends - the Kippins. From the get go, Heather was in it for the long haul. That meant, not rushing any part of the process, especially in those beginning stages. If you’ve ever wondered about how to successfully launch a product with the intention of wholesaling and entering the overseas market, then be prepared to slow down and put the ground work in. Heather’s philosophy is to focus in on doing one thing, and doing it well. That focus will ensure that you don’t become distracted along the way.Sometimes it’s best to say no and do one thing exceptionally well, making you the go-to brand for that item and the authority in that space. Single attention and attention to detail are some of the keys to success and is a re-occurring theme throughout this podcast. We talk a lot about branding, particularly the limitations of branding purely on platforms such as Instagram.Find out more at www.mumswithhustle.com or join the community at www.mumswithhustle.com/join
