In today's instalment, I'd like to share with you four powerful ways you can stand out online and help get your message heard by the people you're here to help.

This is so much more than teaching strategy and tactics to your audiences and clients.

It's about digging deep into what you believe. It's about being the leader you're promising to be.

It's about using languages, stories and ideas to convey an idea and not just say it.

Press play to learn how to stand out online in 2021, going into 2022.

Upcoming Thought Leadership Workshop: I'm hosting a brand new two hour live masterclass on exactly how to stand out as a Thought Leader in 2021, into 2022.

This is for business owners who are ready to step up and stand out, to occupy a bigger space in business online.

Over the last decade or so of changing pretty much every single aspect of my life, I’ve come across some things I’ve loved and that have really worked for me. I’ve also come across some ideas that I’d want to…adapt!

So in today’s episode, let me share with you for ways to change your life in the coming months and years…with a few adaptations that have served me well.

I hope you enjoy. Lisa

How to approach video content in a six figure online business [and how to smash a filming retreat!]. It's no secret we LOVE video content in DARETOGROW.

Our goal is to share one long format video every 8-10 days, teaching something really practical or motivating to help our communities to TAKE ACTION to grow their businesses.

This week, we'd like to bring you behind the scenes and show you HOW we plan and create so much video content for the business.

The secret really is filming retreats; filming 8-11 videos in a few short days so we have plenty of content to work with! It sounds kind of crazy at first, but doing this means Matt (our wonderful in house video editor) has tons of content to work with (which I think is love-hate haha...Matt?), and I can stay focused on growing the business and delivering for clients. It took a while to get into a good rhythm with this and learn how to maximise the day and the post production but I think we're just about getting there!

So, in this video, let us share:

- What we look for in a venue (curtains to block the light are important!); - How I plan the content leading up to the retreat (I don't nail it all in advance!);

- To script or not to script (hello bullets stuck to the tripod!);

- How to maximise the time during the filming retreat (Can we say coffee machine?!); and,

- What I do to keep the anxiety to a minimum 'on the day'. I hope you enjoy.

If you do, please do take a second to like, comment and let us know. We really, really appreciate it.

When I talk about ‘hitting six figures’ in your business, there are always three camps of people. Which one are you?

Camp 1 – Has a dream of building their own business and six figures is the goal. Has only just started posting or turning up online, and might have sold a few programmes or made a few offers.

Camp 2 – Has made headway with sales, maybe £20k - £30k in the year, and wants to make the leap emotionally and strategically to hit six figures, perhaps so they can quit their job or commit more fully to their business.

Camp 3 – Has experiences some excellent sales months or launches (and knows six figures is within grasp), but hasn’t quite landed on the consistency in terms of revenue or turning up online.

With today’s post, there will be something for people in all camps. As always, let me ask you to find the ONE BIG INSIGHT that YOU can take forward and apply to bring you one step closer to that six figure year, whether it’s in your online business or using online marketing methods to make it happen.

So, when thinking about growing your business to a six figure year, you have to look at it from two angles. The first angle is the strategy you use and the second angle is you as a person.

When it comes to strategy, simplicity is best. You can hit six figures with one core product, one focal funnel and one key traffic source (like Facebook ads or Instagram). I hit multiple six figures with one course (The Online Course if you know it?) and one traffic source – FacebookTM ads.

When it comes to ‘you’, I’m referring to your capacity to hold a six figure year, which translates to: Can you deliver transformation at that level, can you put the structure in place to maintain it and are you ready to receive and hold that money energetically.

What can you learn about growing and scaling your business online...from going to the gym??   It turns out...quite a lot!   For example, I remember being in this SUPER SET with my PT Dario. I stood up from squats (which were BURNNNINGGG) and said "I can't another set like this , it's too hard". Dario put his hands on my shoulders, put me back into a squat and said:   "You're not in the next set, you're in this one...21, 22, 22..."   And it really changed something in my brain.   I mean how often do we worry about what's to come when we're not even there yet?! Haha. Doh!   So in this video I'd like to share with you 5 mad things (like that!) I learnt from going to the gym.   With a little behind the scenes, and discussions around mental health and anxiety, I think there is something a little special in today's video.   I hope you enjoy.   Lisa

"And long before you have to convince your audience, you have to convince yourself."

The online space is saturated with content. The key to standing out today is two fold: (1) Having something original and inspiring to share; and, (2)

Turning up with enough consistency and confidence to inspire people to action.

The truth is people are always looking for leaders to show them a way, a faster path the outcome they want in their lives and encouragement that they're on the right path.

This is where you enter, stage right, with your ideas, your confidence, your methodology, your belief.

Part of making sales online relies on your ability to communicate your ideas and processes with confidence and conviction.

And long before you have to convince your audience, you have to convince yourself.

In this week's installation I'd like to share with you five ideas to help you build confidence in what you teach online.

Have I got it in me? Is it worth it? Can I keep going? If you're asking these questions YOU ARE NOT ALONE!   The events of 2020 knocked a lot of people off their feet, they drained energy and it took so much will and energy to just keep going.   In today's episode, I'd like to share a story of 'focus' with you in the hope you pick 3 or 4 goals that actually matter to you and prepare to get back in the game.   Slowing down to rest isn't quitting. You're still in the game!   Find out more about Edge, booking three coaching calls with me - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GFWA...   Join the waiting list for Pre-Ex start up school launching soon! https://daretogrow.co.uk/preex/   Read the book! https://daretogrow.co.uk/thebook/  

I've wanted to share this video for the longest time, weaving in so many unseen clips from the past 18 months.

I'm not quite sure how we've pulled it off but I'm really proud of what we've created today. Kudos to Matt on editing for this one!

In today's episode, I want to share with you four key ideas that are helping me process 2020 and move on following a tumultuous time of uncertainty.

For example, one question I asked myself was: Have I grieved the loss of 2020 in my own life?

Press play, and keep a journal handy for any thoughts that come up for you. Lisa

Making sales online is a real skill. Like professional figure skating, photography or boxing, it is something people practice, learn about and invest time and effort into mastering.

In today's episode, I'd like to share with you three things professional online sales people do that most people don't even know about.

These are the three things I leverage as the absolute, fundamental backbone of every single sales and marketing campaign I launch. I hope today's episode brings you a lot of value.

Everyone is on this planet to do something special, and unique.

The vision we have for our lives and for the world isn't necessarily something that sits far out in front of us, but rather it's something that extends from within us.

I believe that there is something for each of us to grow into and become. And the vision gives us the point on the horizon to head towards. The vision gives us the journey of growth.

In today's episode, I'd like to talk about the importance of that vision and how to break it down into exciting and manageable projects you can complete to bring that vision to life.

We'll also talk about how to determine the action you take today, right now, to bring you one step closer to the vision you have for your life, your business, your family and the world.
