Spotting Trends Before They Become the Norm show art Spotting Trends Before They Become the Norm

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

Some business owners have a knack for spotting trends before everyone else catches on. And it’s not luck, but a skill. The ability to see what’s shifting in your industry, what people are craving, and what’s quietly changing before it becomes mainstream can completely change how you position yourself and your business. But here’s the truth: trend-spotting isn’t about chasing every new thing. It’s about listening differently, paying attention to frustration, and being curious enough to notice the patterns that others overlook.  In this episode, I’m sharing how to develop that...

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

If you’ve ever looked around your industry and thought, “Everyone’s offering the same thing,” you’re not imagining it. Every market has noise, and standing out isn’t about shouting louder. It’s about showing up differently. Being unique doesn’t always mean inventing something brand new. Often, it’s about reimagining what already exists and delivering it in a way that feels distinctly you.  In this episode, I’m sharing how to uncover the magic within your existing offers and turn it into something people remember, connect with, and keep coming back for. How to Stand Out...

My Secret to Staying Inspired in Business show art My Secret to Staying Inspired in Business

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

When you create for a living, inspiration can sometimes feel like a moving target. Whether it’s for podcasts, courses, or client projects, there’s this quiet pressure to keep showing up with fresh ideas. But inspiration isn’t magic; it’s consistency. It’s something you can nurture, protect, and make space for. In this episode, I’m sharing how I stay inspired across everything I do as a creator, an educator, and a strategist, and how you can create your own systems for creative flow that actually last. How I Keep Creativity Flowing Start with Curiosity For me, inspiration begins...

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

When we think of innovators, we often picture the big names: the ones who build rockets, create tech empires, or disrupt entire industries. But innovation isn’t limited to billion-dollar ideas or global platforms. True innovation happens in the everyday. When you see things differently, experiment with new approaches, and turn challenges into opportunities. It’s about bringing fresh thinking into familiar spaces and consistently showing up with ideas that move things forward. The good news? You don’t have to be loud or flashy to be seen as an innovator. You just have to be intentional,...

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

When most people hear the word creative, they picture designers, artists, or the ones with colour palettes, clever fonts, and mood boards. But creativity in business goes far beyond visuals. It’s about how we approach challenges, how we spot opportunities, and how we keep our business evolving. Creativity is a skill every business owner can build. And when you strengthen it, you unlock new ways to solve problems, connect with customers, and stay ahead of change. In this episode, we’ll explore how creative thinking shows up in everyday business and how you can start flexing your own...

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

Have you ever had one of those lightbulb moments sparked by something completely unrelated to your field? Maybe a café’s reward system gave you an idea for keeping clients engaged, or a podcast on a totally different topic triggered a clever improvement in your business.

How I Come Up With Content Ideas show art How I Come Up With Content Ideas

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

If I had 5 cents for every time someone asked me how I come up with content ideas, I'd have an income stream all of its own. The truth is, the most powerful content isn't created by sitting at your desk trying to produce something perfect. It comes from being curious about what's already happening in your business and in your customers' lives each day.

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

Business doesn’t come with a rulebook, but oh, how I wish it did sometimes. In this episode, I’m opening up and sharing four lessons I really wish I’d learned earlier in my business journey. These aren’t the glossy textbook tips. These are the kind that come with late nights, tough calls, and a lot of hindsight.

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

I’m pulling back the curtain on what it’s really like to be a multi-passionate entrepreneur, why it’s both a blessing and a challenge, and how I’ve learned to manage the mess and magic of it all.

Course creation is exciting, but let’s not sugarcoat it, it’s a big project. It’s easy to get overwhelmed, even if you’re seasoned at sharing knowledge. That’s why in this episode of Talk, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the most overlooked (but vital!) elements of building a successful course: your support network. Because course creation is not a solo sport, it’s a team effort. And the creators who make it to launch with their sanity intact are the ones who don’t do it alone. Why Your Course Creation Network Matters While everyone talks about content and tech, not enough people highlight the power of having people in your corner. Your network brings: Accountability to keep moving forward Perspective from real learners Encouragement when impostor syndrome hits Practical support to fill in skills gaps like tech, visuals, and editing These aren’t just nice-to-haves. They’re the fuel that keeps your course moving toward the finish line. Six Key People to Have in Your Course Creation Circle You don’t need six separate people, but you do need these roles filled: The Brainstorming Buddy Your idea-shaper. Helps you clarify your audience needs, refine your content, and map out your course vision. Think business bestie, mentor, or a co-coach like me. The Accountability Anchor For those days when Netflix seems more appealing than filming module three. They’ll keep you focused and celebrate wins, no matter how small. The Beta Tester Early access users who give you valuable feedback, help you improve your course, and often become your strongest testimonials. The Tech Whisperer Tech doesn’t have to be terrifying. Whether it’s uploading videos or integrating platforms, this person helps keep things flowing smoothly. The Visual Support Crew Designers, editors, proofreaders, and others who help your course look polished and professional, thereby boosting its value and trust. The Emotional Cheer Squad Those who remind you why you started, cheer you on, and pop the champagne with you when you launch. Never underestimate their power. How to Build Your Network (Without It Feeling Awkward) Join creator-friendly LinkedIn or Facebook groups Tap into my Ideas, Impact & Marketing Circle for regular support and accountability Invite former clients or peers to co-create or test with you Skill swap with other creators Outsource small tasks to boost your momentum Share the journey publicly, behind-the-scenes sneak peeks build excitement and community buy-in Letting your audience in on the process is a clever marketing move, too. They’ll feel part of the journey, and some of them will become your best students. Final Thoughts There’s a myth that doing it all yourself makes you more successful. Let’s bust that. Smart creators build networks. They lean on support, share wins, and ask for help when needed. And that makes them more effective, not less. Ready to Get Support?
