Creating - and maintaining - effective boundaries is one of the cornerstones to scaling a business.  And as my guests this week prove, sometimes the simplest boundaries can have the greatest impact. Ness Hartge and Laura Press are two Bold Darling members, who have each made giant strides in setting their businesses up to support themselves, and their clients, better in recent months. Ness is the owner of In Order Business Solutions, a bookkeeping practice in regional NSW.  Laura is a counsellor and podcaster, who works with both couples and individuals, and runs a fully online business.    In our conversation, both women share:   The tipping point that forced them to reexamine how they were running their businesses The challenges and mental blocks they had to changing their approach  The simple boundaries they each put down… …And the huge positive impact those boundaries have had  How they navigated when others tested those boundaries  The greater good that we can contribute to when setting boundaries    I hope Ness and Laura’s stories act as inspiring (and accessible!), case studies for you as you consider what changes you could make in order to scale your business more effectively and more sustainably.    As I share in this episode, doors to my Bold Darling Mastermind are opening again next month - watch this space!    To connect with Laura, go to laurapresscounselling.com.au, connect with her on Instagram at @laurapresscounselling or listen to her podcast, Relationships Turned On With Laura Press.    And connect with Ness on Instagram: @kurrajonghill.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Rebrand & A Retreat

This week we have another “Dear Lorraine” episode!  I asked my Instagram community what their biggest challenge is right now - and I had a LOT of responses.     Today, I’m speaking to a major issue that came through in those responses: how we move forward with taking a risk.   As I share in this episode, all progress in our lives and business requires some level of risk - and each of us have a different appetite for risk.  I start my response with the best definition I’ve ever heard, and one I’ve worked with for over a decade.  Then I step through the processes and questions I ask myself when faced with a risk, and that I use with my one-on-one mentees.    This episode will help you navigate past the next horizon of your comfort zone, and enable you to enhance your growth mindset. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How to bring content and desired business outcomes together What a brand voice is, and how we create one for our businesses When we should outsource copywriting How AI can support us in communicating our brands  The SEO benefit of great copy  How she has built her business on the basis of strong boundaries  What’s currently exciting her - and challenging her! - in her business  The resources Brooke mentions are:  Building a Storybrand book by Donald Miller Kate Toon’s SEO Nibbles course Download the Voice Report here: thecontentedcopywriter.com.au/thevoicereport Brooke’s website and newsletter sign-up here: thecontentedcopywriter.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sharing The Voice & Story Of Your Brand feat. Brooke Hill

I asked my Instagram community what their biggest challenge is right now - and I had a LOT of responses!  In this new “Dear Lorraine” occasional episode format, I speak to one of these challenges.   First up is a challenge that keeps a lot of us back from experiencing the growth we want or need to: that icky feeling of being stuck.   In this first “Dear Lorraine” episode, I address this challenge - including the five steps I suggest to get yourself unstuck, the need for an occasional “Winter”, and honest sharing from my own experiences of feeling stuck over the years.   Whether you feel you need a bit of a kickstart, or a total overhaul right now, this is a great episode to help you on your way.   The book I mention is Wintering by Katherine May - I highly recommend it!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Helen Jacobs

This week on the show I’m bringing back one of the people who has been a key guide for me in my personal and business journey.  Helen Jacobs is a psychic and soul coach, and author of three books.     Her third book, Follow Your Heart: Simple Daily Rituals For Honing Your Intuition, was published in May this year, and is a guide to connecting with your intuition (which, as we discuss in our conversation, is an essential superpower that we should all be nurturing!).   Helen and I discuss:  How she defines intuition  How intuition is so closely connected to our heart  Why intuition is so important in business My own experience of an intuitive nudge recently in business Why intuition isn’t always leading us to our “happy ever after path of easy” How we can differentiate between intuition and fear - who's talking?! The tools and practises she recommends to tune into our intuition more  How we know if our intuition is actually working! What to do during speed wobbles of faith and trust, and how we can get back on the path One thing she would like listeners to do after listening to this episode     The authors I mention in the episode are Louise Hay and Florence Scovel Shinn.   To find out more about Helen’s work, you can visit her website at helenjacobs.co or connect with her on Instagram at @helenjacobs.co.  You can find Follow Your Heart in leading bookstores, and online. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How To Hone Your Intuition feat. Helen Jacobs

Ah, a fresh new season just in time for the second half of 2023!  This week I’m sharing my progress on my goals that I set at the beginning of this year - what’s on track, what’s not… and how I’m going to course correct over the next six months.    I LOVE hearing about other peoples’ goals and how they’re tracking with them (probably why I love mentoring so much), and I wanted this episode to be a case study of sorts to help you review your own goals at this mid-year point.  It also gives me epic public accountability to make mine happen by 31st December…   I talk about progress on our life in Spain, the best investment in our relationship ths year, developments in my business and the habits I want to work on from here.    I also share an exciting announcement about my Bali retreat in October.  There are just four spots remaining.  Find out more on my website: lorrainemurphy.com.au. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In our conversation, Filippa and I cover:   Her own experience of burn-out after the birth of her first baby How that experience led her to finding her business path The core childhood patterns that can set us up for burn-out later on in life The less obvious signs of burn-out  Why PMS is not normal How long the timeline to burn-out can take Whether or not female entrepreneurs are more likely to struggle with their health than male entrepreneurs  Post-baby burnout in entrepreneurial mums  The business/family blend and what she sees as the biggest challenges women have who are navigating both The symptoms that can arise from body imbalances How to go about finding a practitioner to support you   One thing that you can do to immediately support your health better    To find out more about Chris + Filly, visit their website - chrisandfilly.fm and connect with them on Instagram - @chrisandfilly_fm. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I have long been a fan of retreats - since going on my first one in 2013.   Since then, I’ve gone on multiple retreats: guided and self-guided, high budget and low budget.  I’ve also hosted several retreats for my community in Bali, Byron Bay, Noosa and the Central Coast.  Over the last decade, I’ve become something of an expert retreat-er (ha!) and have built up a checklist on what makes the perfect retreat - which I share in this episode.   I also touch on why retreats are so key, and how to overcome the guilt that can be associated with investing money and time away from everyday commitments in order to prioritise ourselves.  I also mention in the episode that this week I announced I’ll be hosting my first Bali retreat in 5 years this October.  I am sooooo excited!  Spots will be open next week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How To Get Paid To Speak feat. Jaimie Abbott

A personal brand business is a superb way to package up your know-how into an infinitely scalable revenue stream… … but (BIG but) - figuring out your offer, and how to sell it, can lead you down endless rabbit holes.   Turns out rabbit holes don’t make you time or money.   Believe me I’ve tried!! My personal brand business now enables me to work with hundreds of entrepreneurs at a time and have handsome monthly recurring revenue, while getting to be in my happy place of creating… and working from anywhere in the world (I’m just back from - which was on my must-visit list for years!).   To get to this point though, I’ve had to figure out a LOT: what was worth investing time in, and what was a spectacular waste of time.  And, eventually, I created my own model for what an effective personal brand business looks like. In this week’s episode, I’m sharing the Masterclass I hosted last week.  I take you behind the scenes of my business and share with you the five steps you MUST take to create a personal brand business that:   Allows you to leverage your time more effectively (e.g: expanding from one-to-one offers to one-to-many offers)  Attracts your dream clients to you  Enables you to handsomely monetise your knowledge and experience   I promise I can help you save YEARS of trying to figure it out yourself. In this episode, I also announce my brand spanking new offer to help you grow your personal brand business.   It’s called Amplify You and it’s a 10-week intensive container that blends Masterclass-style sessions with hands-on support from me, and a veritable arsenal of resources, templates and checklists.  Put simply: it’s my business in a box! Over 10 weeks, I’ll guide you through what I have learned are the core pillars of what a successful personal brand business requires: Strategy, Mindset, Brand, Marketing, Products and Systems &amp; Support.  I’ll be packaging up my greatest lessons, and also drawing on the wisdom of savvy subject experts It kicks off on Thursday 11th May - find out more here at lorrainemurphy.com.au. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bonus episode! Day 1 Of My Personal Brand Training

I feel like a mum marvelling at how quickly her kids grow up…  My Bold Darling Mentoring Program is about to turn one year old -  I can’t believe it! I created Bold Darling as I could see far too many stressed-out, burnt-out, unfulfilled business owners in my community. The program immediately caught fire (in a good way), with the number of new members far surpassing what I had even hoped for from day one.  In the last 12 months, I have spent time with this group multiple times a month, and we have had 12 absolutely stellar experts join us too.   This week I wanted to hand the spotlight over to five of these experts - believe me, it was so tough to choose just five! In this episode, you’ll hear from:  Influence expert Julie Masters on why we should forget about confidence and focus on certainty instead Leading online marketer Jaclyn Carlson on the perilous mistake so many business owners make in neglecting email list growth Jack Delosa, founder of The Entourage, on how to create more space to think strategically in your business Laura Elkaslassy, CEO of Profit First Australia, on how the Profit First methodology can change your business… and your life Instagram expert Brooke Vulinovich on the 3 greatest mistakes entrepreneurs make on the platform  This week I flung open the doors for new members to Bold Darling - hooray!!  They’re closing at midnight AEST Tuesday 4th April… and they won’t be opening again until October this year.   Go to bolddarling.com to find out more and sign up.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
