July 21, 2019 MWH 192 : 5 Brilliant Business Women Share Their Success Secrets
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...

July 14, 2019 MWH 191 : Showing Up and Standing Out on Instagram with Rachel Reiter of Hopscotch Branding Studio
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.

>> [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!

July 07, 2019 MWH 190 : Instagram Mindset – How To Feel Good On The Gram
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.

June 30, 2019 MWH 189 : How She Turned Her Hobby Into A Business with Casey Patch of Little Lifelong Learners
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!

June 23, 2019 MWH 188 : If You Only Have 30 Minutes on Instagram Today… Do This!
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 ...
