October 30, 2016 MWH 057 : Biz Mum Success Story with Fabiola Richards From Amor & Grace
Biz Mum Spotlight with Fabiola from Amor & Grace

I handpicked today's guest because well, her biz honestly caught my eye. I felt drawn to her content and vibe straight away which is AMAZING because she’s only launching this month. Yup, I’m intrigued to the MAX without being able to shop her items yet. I met this lady at one of the Mums With Hustle Meet & Eat events and her passion was contagious. I just knew she had oodles to offer and I HAD to welcome her to my show.

THIS WEEK’S PODCAST
It’s with so much pleasure that I get to introduce Fabiola from Amor & Grace! Now Fabiola is a corporate accountant from way back. After having her first bub, she realised the corporate game just wasn’t her jam anymore.

Fabiola is launching Amor & Grace in November and her WHY is massive - to follow her passions and launch a maternity line. Over and above this, Fabiola is hoping her biz can connect women who are at similar stages in life and is currently in talks with a charity aimed at supporting women at risk. Fabiola is a hardcore mum with hustle AND HEART and I’m thrilled she had decided to share all of her pre-launch biz tips with us!

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

How to execute a pre-launch social media strategy
How Fabiola will use Email Marketing to benefit her store
Common challenges with launching an e-commerce store and how to overcome them

A LOWDOWN ON WHAT WE CHATTED ABOUT

Fabiola’s biz journey from corporate accountant to small biz owner

October 23, 2016 MWH 056: How to Frustrate Your Instagram Followers (Part 2)
HOW TO FRUSTRATE YOUR INSTAGRAM FOLLOWERS (PART 2)
As you may have guessed, we're ALL ABOUT Instagram here at Mums with Hustle. We've just completed our FREE 5 Day Instagram Challenge and I wanted to say a MASSIVE thanks to all you biz mums who participated! I've been tagged in some STELLAR posts and watched the Facebook Biz Club thrive throughout.
If you missed it, never fear! We've just opened enrolment to our Hashtag Hustle course! In a nutshell, Hashtag Hustle is the ultimate success path to Instagram for biz, it will help you with SO much; hashtags, defining your niche and target audience, how to create a kick-ass content strategy and how to craft KILLER captions. At this stage, it's only open to those who completed the 5 Day Instagram Challenge and will open to everyone else in the next couple of days. Watch that inbox for your exclusive invitation.

THIS WEEK’S PODCAST
So last week we covered the TOP 5 Ways to Frustrate your followers. We chatted about your posting habits, your etiquette, your hashtags, your feed and your branding. It was pretty real, open and honest (that's how I roll) and this week will be no different. We're going to get into the real nitty gritty and discuss some sure-fire ways you are annoying the bejuzus out of your followers.
I know, sometimes this stuff is hard to hear but I PROMISE, you'll be thankful you heard it from me NOW rather than someone else later. Think of all the time and EFFORT you put into your Insta account. You want it to convert right? Well stick with me because with some actionable nips here and tucks there, you will be rewarded.

3 AREAS I’M GOING TO GET TRUTHFUL ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE ARE:
1. CONTENT - variation is key here and I'm really going to deep dive into WHAT kinds of content your followers actually want to see.
2. PERSONAL POSTS - don't hate me but unless you're a bit of a celeb and have a mammoth following already, peeps aren't really interested in your family outings. Don't hate me! Listen to the podcast and I'll tell you why.
3. LOVE - Instagram is not a 'set and forget' platform. Honestly, if the love isn't flowing from you it won't be flowing back to you. We're going to talk about loving with purpose today so your efforts are noticed by the right people.

Hands up if your biz is your passion? Yup, I would bet money on the fact we’re all super enthused and LOVE what we do. Well you sort of have to if you’re going to succeed in your field because it’s PASSION that will fuel your fire and get you through the loooong days and nights.
Hands up if building your creative passion into a profitable business is an opportunity you haven’t fully expored? Dreams, creativity, talent and raw determination will only account for so much in biz. It’s a sad reality we all face daily.

There’s courses, forums, support networks and a WEALTH of knowledge available for creatives in biz. Mikaela began her career as a teacher and also studied graphic design but slowly began feeling uninspired in her current workplace. SO, she spent a YEAR dreaming, researching and willing her biz into being before launching In February 2014.
When she’s not elbow deep in The Makers Co, she is busy #mumlifing with her two gorgeous children. She lives in Canberra with her family and loves every minute of it. This chick is a full go getter who knows what she wants out of life and goes for it. I can’t wait for you to get stuck in!

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

How to create a niche and point of difference in biz
How to nail pricing
How to plan for growth
How to strategise a robust content strategy
How to monetise your offerings

October 05, 2016 MWH 053 : Your questions answered – A glimpse into MWH
This week's podcast is all about you. I have answered 5 questions that I received directly from the lovely MWH subscribers, perhaps I even answered a question from you! This is a special one and in it, I delve into the workings of Mums With Hustle and how I go about running my biz, including my mindset for when things get tough.
Here are the questions I answer in this episode:
1.
My question for you is around CONSISTENCY which I know is super-important and is one thing that I think you guys have done so well right from the start. With such a busy life, how do you ensure that you deliver that consistency without fail? - Michelle Morpeth from Outdoorsy NZ
2.
How do you switch off? Like yourself, I am putting a lot of myself into my business, but I find myself waking up thinking about work and going to sleep thinking about work. When you work from home you are always at work! I'd love to hear your suggestions for this - Megan O'Brian
3.
One question I am yet to have answered which hopefully you can answer for me, is ... In what area should you invest money in order to grow your business? I really believe in my products and although there is many business out there doing the same thing, I feel I have something a little different although being in the same category. I am really keen to grow the wholesale side of my business and I've been lucky enough to have been approached by a few boutiques to stock my goods so I haven't had to hustle to hard yet...Now, I'm on a hustling mission to grow grow grow but not sure where I should be spending what little funds I have - Marianne from Luxe Bath Bags
4.
How do we connect (really connect) with people via social media if we are not naturally an online extrovert or find it difficult to write in a public forum? I know personally, I make fantastic, real connections with people in the flesh, but I find my comments on social media come across as forced and boring - Tamra Wilson from Wahboo
5.
I'm yet to start my business officially, but one of the things stopping me is the mental battle about being present and mindful in my life vs trying to fit a business into motherhood. One of my favourite quotes is 'stop the glorification of busy'. Hence the word 'hustle' doesn't sit really well with me either but I still love your group! How do you face the issue of achieving your dreams and being you via your business endeavours (whilst also being a mum, wife, daughter, friend, etc etc etc!) vs being so busy life just flies by in a constant state of hustle?! I'm so scared I might wake up 10 years down the track and think 'why did I try to fit so much in'? Georgie

Also, if you've ever wondered why I called our biz Mums With Hustle or what hustle actually means, I answer that too!

Thanks for being the best tribe EVER!

xx
