Grow Out Loud

We're back. Well almost. Season 3 will be launching on Tuesday the 15th of February 2022.

We've had a good ole' brainstorm about how we can Grow Out Loud this season and the topic of money just kept coming back up. 

This season, we'll be looking at money from different angles. From sharing our own personal money stories to the more practical nuts and bolts of managing money as a company of one.

We'd love for you to join us on this journey!

Thanks so much to Josephine for taking the time to chat for this week's episode!

Josephine Hughes runs a thriving Facebook group for UK-based counsellors called Good Enough Counsellors where she offers training, support and community for counsellors looking to build their private practice.

Josephine talks about how she initially hesitated about specifying a niche for her business - but in doing so she gathered momentum and it has been a game-changer for her business.

Highlights from our chat...

- The ONE THING you actually need to start building a Facebook group

- How she creates a safe space for her members to feel seen, heard and supported

- How 'working for free' can be a tough but essential habit to break.

Thanks for tuning in. Personal responsibility was our original theme for this week and it branched off into a couple of different areas...

Are you running your business or fantasising about the idea of it?

Is fear holding you back or are you bringing your best work right here and now?

How important is it to have someone call you out on your BS?

The dangers of running a business out of sync with your temperament.

Thanks so much to Carol for taking the time to chat for this week's episode!

Carol is the CEO of Property District - Ireland’s leading communications & PR agency for the planning, construction, property and proptech industries. She left her job in law just a year before the crash to found a property buyer's agency and has been involved in the property and construction industry ever since - an industry she says is a great one to work in and both more human and more innovative than we might imagine.

Highlights from this week's episode:

- Embracing failure as a route to innovation.

- How Carol designed her job by deciding how she wanted to engage with potential clients and work with her clients.

- Designing giving-back into the work week and yearly calendar.

- Managing your time - moving from dysfunctional ideas of time and scheduling to a more fluid six or seven-day work-week with long lunches and road trips included.

- The value of three deep breaths (and what it might tell you right now).

How much fulfilment should you expect to get from your work? This week we explored:

- True connection with your clients and how that can allow you to do your best work, but where should the boundary lie?

- Knowing who you're speaking to and how best to serve them - yep, we're pooh-poohing the ideal customer avatar (again) 

- At what point do courses, templates and instruction end up as mimicry.

- The importance of playfulness in growth.
