Mums With Hustle Podcast

Lanna Hill is the woman behind two businesses; Lanna Hill Fitness Nutrition Wellbeing and One Small Step Business Coaching so she brings massive value as a guest on today’s podcast. She’s a Perth-based business coach but she was just here in Sydney a couple of months ago, running a workshop at the New Beginnings Fair for movers and shakers embarking on their entrepreneurial leap! Lanna’s energy is infectious and I just love her vibe. I had to get her on to give us the 101 on business coaching.

I know a lot of biz babes out there are wondering if business coaching is for them, particularly those who wrestle with focus, those who feel like they’re simply winging it, and those who feel like they’ve come to a standstill.

The modern Business Plan

I get asked a lot about business plans, in particular, and yes - absolutely, you do need one! If you’ve ever wondered about what goes into a business plan, why you need one, and how deep your plan really should go - then this is one episode that you do not want to miss!

Now, in this episode you’re going to pick up on my excitement about this topic because as Lanna spoke, I was literally smiling from ear-to-ear, I had all sorts of crazy hand gestures going on because honestly, every one of her six key principals (that she really digs into) was spot on! Here on the podcast we’ve touched on topics like your “ideal client”, your “niche”, your “point of difference” - but we’ve never gone as deep into these fundamentals as we do here in this episode.

Business Plan Worksheet

I have put together this short yet effective worksheet for you to be able to flesh out your own business plan.

Regain control with Productivity

Ok, so this week’s content feels a little self-indulgent to me. But I have to get over that quick smart if I plan on providing you with some ways to improve your productivity as a Biz Mum, particularly if you work at home.

Trust me, I get it. I know how hard it is to get stuff done and feel like you're progressing in your business when you’re doing it all on your own, or maybe you’ve got a partner or VA but really, the demands of mum life throws an extra spanner in the works for us as business owners.

Name Your Responsibilities

One thing I highly recommend you do before we get into the productivity tips is that you take a bird’s eye view of your responsibilities.

Get clear on what it is that you ACTUALLY have to do each week. I did this exercise myself and I’ve shared it here so you can see what I mean.

Let’s start with a very simple snapshot of some of the tasks that need doing here at MWH just to keep our heads above water, without actually getting anything “new" done.

Now, when I say “new”, I do have to be kind to myself and remember that we are putting out NEW stuff out each WEEK and that’s not the thing that I’m referring to when I say “new” stuff. What I’m really talking about here is the stuff that keeps us operating and relevant on a daily basis. In other words, these thing that I’m about to list are my MUST DOs. Without them, I’m pretty sure we’d be screwed. Now I’m fortunate that I run this biz with my husband. He’s my audio guy and my tech support but here’s some of the daily tasks that I have specifically as my responsibility. You may be able to relate to most of these task and for the ones that you don’t relate to, you can replace those with the to-dos that are fundamental to your biz staying afloat, week in, week out.

So here we go:

Planning and writing the weekly email broadcast

Writing copy for the podcast

Planning, writing, creating social media posts AND THEN posting and interacting on social media (3 platforms, 2-5 times a day on each, 7 days a week)

Responding to emails

Making time to learn to develop my own business skill set

Reaching out to potential guests for the podcast

Writing a blog post

Creating a freebie to help support my audience

Building my bank of photos for social media and the blog - styling, taking and editing photos.

Recording the podcast

Preparing my podcast guest

Following up with my podcast guest

 

Then there are these…

What about:

Creating ways for the MWH community to CONNECT - Cue the Facebook group! If you haven’t joined our PRIVATE Biz Club on FB you can do so here. Mums With Hustle Biz Club

Checking in with individuals from the MWH to see how they’re going

Connecting with others for collaboration (other ways) through a phone call or email

Creating my paid products - yes, they’re under construction!

Content creation

Learning how to grow my biz on other social media platforms

Staying active in the other Facebook groups I’m a part of

Looking at ways to grow our biz, PR, VA… this research takes time!

Attending a face to face meeting

Anyway, I know you get my drift. There’s a lot and you’re in the same boat too. You’ve got your biz and you’ve got limited time.

TASK:

Grab a pen and paper and jot down all of your MUST DO’s. Don’t get fancy about it. This is just a brain dump.

Having passion will only get you so far! We need progress to keep that momentum and keep us motivated. So how do we achieve that, ESPECIALLY when we have little people who we want to spend time with and a household to run...

Do you feel like you’re constantly checking emails and your social media but not really conquering anything new?

Is working from home a distraction for you?

Are you frustrated by the slow burn of working in small chunks of time?

Are you just a fancy procrastinator?

Productivity as a busy mum

This week, it’s you and I baby! Yep. This is a solo episode with yours truly because I’m hearing your frustrations and I believe that I can help. I’ve recorded a power episode for you with 3 of my productivity tips for the WAHM.

I’ve always been a super productive person and I’ve spent hundreds of hours learning about productivity and time management but having my own business as a Mum still took some getting used to. Thankfully, I’ve got plenty of productivity tips and tricks up my sleeve and this week, I am going to share three of them with you!

Too often in the past, I found myself getting distracted easily or trying to do too many things at once. Learning to adjust to working at home was a massive learning curve for me, particularly on days where the little boss man is around. I’ve also struggled with separating working time and house work.

If you’re like me, and you’re having to work from home in small chunks of time, you’ll know what I mean when I say it can be such a buzz kill and it’s not hard to lose momentum or fall off the motivation wagon. I know plenty of the MWH mamas will agree with me when I say, you’re not alone!

I know that not everyone who listens to this podcast is a mum but I know you're probably interested in increasing your productivity too, especially if your biz is your side hustle, because you are juggling a 9-5 at the same time. We all want more time but we’re never going to get more than 24 hours in a day so I believe we all need to look at how we can more effectively use our time to see progress in our businesses.

If you think that you could do with a boost in productivity, join me now on the podcast and let’s get into it!

In this episode you will learn how to:

Get Preppy by prioritising the to-do list. Why this small investment of your time will bring you large rewards.

Protect Your Time and avoid distractions. Your time is precious! There are simple daily practices that you can do right now to increase your productivity and get $h!t done.

Maximise Working in Small Chunks of Time and why it really is a gift. I’ll share my strategy for making short bursts of time work in my favour and I’ll teach you how to do the same.

Productivity Worksheet

 

Because I know productivity is the winning ticket to momentum, I want to give you a tool in supporting you to implement what I just shared. This Productivity Plan Worksheet helps you delve into taking action in the 3 areas that will make you most productive. Print it off, fill it out and keep it visible in your workspace.

This week’s podcast guest is Louise Glendon, an Aussie Mum of three living in the USA who kills it in the photography space.

Louise is the founder and owner of her online photography biz, Click Love Grow. Click Love Grow provides quality online photography courses for women who love photography, and for business women who are looking to enhance their brand through strong imagery.

Louise has worked hard to set up and grow her own online biz that monetizes her passion and interest in photography. The beauty about her online business is that even though she had it all set up here in Australia, when the time came for her and hubby to move with the family, her business could easily travel with her. It also meant that she had flexible work hours to keep growing her business (at her own pace) even throughout her pregnancy and during her maternity leave - all added bonuses of having a passive income generating biz!

Louise really knows her stuff! She was great in sharing all kinds of business knowledge with me during our chat as well as some winning photography tips that you can action immediately! During the episode we cover:

What is a niche? Unpacking the process of niching down.

How she came to truly understand her ideal client (avatar).

What is meant by a passive income business model.

Ways to generate passive income.

How to create an online course.

How to make yourself be found as an online biz.

How to arrive at a winning product idea/s.
