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.
Moreover, I’m so excited to let you know that I’m opening the doors to my Social Method Society on the first week of October! Head on over to socialmethodsociety.com to get on the waitlist.
Until next week, stay happy in your hustle.

August 08, 2021MWH 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.

Until next week, stay happy in your hustle.
