The Lisa Bean Podcast

Yesterday, I recorded the start of a new podcast ten times. I am not exaggerating or rounding up for smartness. I even paused after six attempts, had a tea break and tried again. I was committed to producing a podcast episode.  The theme I'd selected was based on a training I'd delivered a week earlier for my business community: How to build a six figure online marketing funnel. The training was fire! Fast paced. Challenging. A direct call to arms to be useful, to work hard, to focus on client results at every step of the funnel. But it just didn't translate to a podcast for a wider audience. Something that felt really poignant and topical for one audience became cliche and general for another.  Without considering why that was the case, I called my dad and said "Dad, I'm not working today - do you want to go and surprise mum at work?". He was a yes. I told him I'd be leaving in an hour. I just had to walk the dogs and send some client emails first. Deciding to walk away from the episode gave me something. Freedom? Space? It let me off the hook! It meant I didn't have to produce something practical or functional. I didn't have to 'tick the box' of marketing that day. It just wasn't happening. I'd tried.  Somewhat ironically, then, I found myself reaching for my iPhone, whilst looping the field, to record the introduction of the podcast I wasn't making. It felt fun, light, in flow. I recorded myself calling back the dogs. I recorded myself clipping them in. And that's when I realised what was bothering me.  Content for the sake of content demotivates me. I can't produce something for the sake of it. I don't like to and I don't want to. And I don't have to. When I think of what inspires me, what really gets me flowing, it's the opportunity to create something new and different that will make people smile and ask 'how did she do that?'. I don't want to be a follower, of a pattern or a style or a formula. I want to be a leader, a creator, an original. With that idea in mind, I recorded my thoughts (and the rest of my day) on my iPhone, sharing the concept of 'being useful'. Today's podcast episode is the result of that work. We explore the importance of being truly useful in a world filled with more and more content. We look at the catalytic effect of desire in making the world a better place for the people you can help. And I challenge you to produce something meaningful for your business today, instead of ticking yet another item off the list.  I hope you enjoy.

We're always told "start with the end in mind" and work backwards from there. And I teach that in business. But there must be room for another approach too: The unfolding of a story; the progress of journey. When making vlogs or sharing stories from your life you can't start with the end in mind because you don't know it. It's more about documenting the journey. It's more about sharing your understanding as it evolves. It's more about the unfolding. That's what I want to talk about in today's podcast. Plus, I share a brand new memoir I have loved reading, and what it taught me about books and art in general. Enjoy!

It's too easy to feel off track, deflated, down, stuck in a rut. In today's episode, I'd like to share four honest ways to get your life back on track... when you're a purpose driven entrepreneur who wants to do good in the world. For example, when I feel stuck in a rut or unable to move forward, I often find there is a tough decision I'm avoiding or something I'm not giving myself that I need. I don't therefore need to 'get out of the rut', I just need to make the tough decision or take time for myself and the way becomes clear!

I’ve had to come to terms with the fact I destroy almost everything I build. Courses, structures, businesses. Once something has served its purpose I seem to have no fear in taking it down and replacing it with something else. Something more relevant. At first I thought this was a bad thing “why can’t I just recycle ads and course and funnels?”. It would be easier wouldn’t it? But the truth is that what we build yesterday was merely a stepping stone to the evolution that’s coming today. And if we hang on to what we’ve built, tinkering at the edges, we might miss the opportunity to build something truly transformational today. It’s okay to let things go. It’s okay to move on. It’s okay to evolve. So my question to you today is: what’s in your heart? What do you want to build? And can you let go of what was to make room for what could be?

Four big journaling questions for purpose driven entrepreneurs who want to be happier in their work and life... Warning: This episode will slow you down and make you think... Does anyone else feel the slowing down? The invitation inwards? The call to be more connected to your passions and more honest about what you want? In today's podcast, I want to share four ideas for happiness in 2021. It's not a pump up. It's a slowing down. It's the questions that help us find our truth. It's the pace of living that might make room for something more; something BEYOND. I hope you enjoy this and I'd love to hear your thoughts once you've listened to it. *** About Lisa: Lisa Bean is the founder of the multiple six figure business DARETOGROW and author of the Amazon topping book First Sh!t Version.

In the months of December I STOPPED. Everything… Posting. Creating. Turning up. I just stopped and chilled. Not because I was fed up or burnt out or bored. I’d been planning to experience a ‘December off’ for years; the gift of stopping to draw breath. And it wasn’t until I stopped and let the engines cool that I realised I might have been a tad burnt out from 2020. On the wheel of more, more, more. But more what?   Well, as I got back to it this week I really thought about what I wanted to share this year, how I wanted to show up and what would inspire me from others. So here it is, three cool things I think we can all do to inspire people in 2021. Three things I think will matter to people in 2021.   P.s.

No BS, straight up advice about what it takes to launch a business and start making money now. The truth? When you first start out, you're not really launching a business in the beginning. You're actually creating a product or service and adding value in the market. What does this mean? Well, in year one, I wouldn't ask: How can I become a millionaire? Or how do I hit six figures? Instead I'd ask: What would it take for me to replace my salary over the next 12 months? Or - what can I sell to make £2000 - £4000 a of sales each month. Having launched three businesses FROM SCRATCH with no business background, no business degree and no funding, there are four things I did every time.

It’s no secret that DARETOGROW is not my first business. It’s my third! I’ve also launched a graduate recruitment company, which I later sold, and a half a million pound marketing agency which I later dismantled to follow my dreams of running a coaching and training business online. All three businesses I launched from scratch. And in all three businesses I did one very specific thing to get them off the ground. In today’s episode, I’m going to share with you: What it takes to get a brand new start up off the ground How to dramatically speed up the process and increase your chances of start up success A way of thinking that leads to more sales, more quickly.

The question so many online marketers ask: How much should I give away for free vs. what should I keep back in my paid programmes? Well! In today’s episode I’m going to tell you my approach to 'funnel' marketing and how I decide what to give away and what to keep back. 
 I'll also be giving you a little more insight into the business model behind DARETOGROW – what programmes I run, how they are evolving and how I use funnel marketing to sell places on those key programmes.

NOPE! The 'freebie' part of your marketing will NOT land you sales. That's just not what it's for. Your freebie is the start of the process in funnel marketing and it has a very specific purpose. And that is NOT to make sales! But of course...avoid it at your peril! In today's episode I'm going to tell you the truth about funnel marketing in 2020 including: What role your freebie plays if not 'to generate sales'? How to effectively use your freebie in the wider funnel marketing process to actually sell online. How to dramatically increase your online sales using a different approach to funnel marketing you might not have considered yet. And how to adapt your funnel so it's appropriate and effective in today's world. Now, rather than just 'tell you', I'm going to use a very specific example to help you understand this properly. It's a funny one but I think you'll like it! P.s. If you want to go further with this, I've just finished writing a really rich 33 page PDF explaining funnel marketing in a lot more depth, along with the three bridges we must build and cross to build a six figure online business. The new guide - Stop Faffing Start Scaling - is available now...

In today’s episode, I talk with meditation teacher and friend Nicky Thackray! A few years ago Nicky felt burnt out, fed up and hungry for more in life and work. She was trapped in the classic “I earnt great money and had a great career but I wasn’t happy and felt stressed out all the time”. In today’s honest, funny and heart-warming episode, you will hear: How Nicky went from being a meditation sceptic to full time meditation teacher… online! What it really takes to make the big changes in life and go out on your own as a business owner. The truth about ‘getting back into alignment’ in life and work. What Nicky did to take radical responsibility for her own happiness. Plus Nicky shares two fab exercises you can try today to reduce stress, get back in control and prepare for those major life changes ahead!
