The Lisa Bean Podcast

If you were to ask me how to make more sales in your business I’d say: stop trying to cheat the process and just market better. Marketing is the simple act of adding value to someone’s life before you ask them for anything in return. Examples of marketing done well: You’re a guest on a podcast of someone your future clients listen to. You’re talking about your journey, you’re sharing your wisdom, you’re helping people believe they can do it to. You write a LinkedIn post sharing the 3 biggest mistakes people make when approaching [your industry/topic], and you explain how to avoid...

In 18 months, you won't know if that image, video or news clip is real or AI so be smart: start finding ways to show your clients just how real you are, and you'll win more business. ↓     Before we came to Italy, I showed Lucy's daughter a photo of Lake Como. She said "No, that's AI", and I laughed. "Wait till you see it in real life", I said, "and then you'll know - that's real." I think it's happening already... We're doubting that content is real. Whilst this was once limited to photos and maybe some dramatically staged social media clips, it's now...

The Lisa Bean Podcast

Most people are still writing SEO optimised content for Google… but the way we search is changing. Five key take aways for ranking in ChatGPT: ➔ AI responds to real prompts, rather than vague keywords and search terms. Think about full questions your clients would be asking ChatGPT and write questions to answer those more human prompts. ➔ Consistency builds authority — ChatGPT “reads” your homepage, bios, blogs, and news stories. Say the same thing across all of them to help create a consistent narrative about your business. ➔ Structure matters — Use clear H2s...

How to stop playing small - three practical strategies (that work!) show art How to stop playing small - three practical strategies (that work!)

The Lisa Bean Podcast

“Stop playing small” is terrible advice because no-one really knows what it means to play big, or how to approach it! When people talk about playing small, they usually mention things like: Not charging their worth Self-sabotaging Avoiding key projects and actions Not being visible Not going for their dreams!   Does that mean that playing big is the opposite of this: Charging your worth Letting yourself have the win! Tackling key projects and taking difficult actions Being visible and building your brand Going for your dreams!   Probably! But, I think we can go further. In...

Marketing = impact show art Marketing = impact

The Lisa Bean Podcast

I wish I could convey this one thing about marketing. MARKETING = IMPACT MARKETING = IMPACT MARKETING = IMPACT Posting isn't marketing if it doesn't open someone's thinking, influence a new behaviour, or challenge an old behaviour. Marketing is marketing when it has an impact on someone's life, and you become associated with that impact.  If we can get someone's attention, get them to pay attention to us, and share something that truly changes their life, then we're marketing. For this reason, simply posting isn't marketing. Marketing is more about building a connection between your brand...

The honest truth about fear in business show art The honest truth about fear in business

The Lisa Bean Podcast

I felt sick the day after I offered Chris, my new videographer, a role. You might be surprised to read this today and worried that Chris might find out. Don’t worry - he knows! I told him and we filmed a video about it. The feelings surprised me. I’ve hired before. I’ve had teams before. I’ve made leaps before. But this time it felt different. I felt resourced. I felt certain. I felt ready. So why the anxiety? Anxiety often arises when our brain’s fear circuitry - particularly the amygdala - triggers a stress response that doesn’t quite match the situation. It was useful from an...

If you hired a sales person and found out they were doing what you’re doing now to sell, how happy would you be?! For a lot of people, the true answer is NOT VERY. We’d want a sales person: Reaching out to new prospective buyers Pitching weekly or daily either face to face, at events or on webinars Using content to build a brand / reach new audiences and retarget them with offers Building a database and following up Networking at least twice a week… RIGHT? But most business owners aren’t doing that. Nope - they’re posting on social media, working on a sales page, networking when they...

Masculine energy creates the safety and carves out the time our feminine energy needs in order to breathe into our art.

When people aren't making progress in their business, we can say they're stuck and don't know what to try next, they're overwhelmed by all the jobs on their list, they have a subconscious block that's causing them to self-sabotage, they're exhausted from all the effort (burnt out) or the classic: I just don't have time.

This can all be true.

But you know what else might be true?

They might be excellent at feminine flow and terrible at masculine container.

Or the other way around.

The feminine flow is the unfolding of the work, the flow. It's you being you. It's you enjoying being alive. It's the intuition on what to do. It's the very act of creating in pure joy. For me, it's the silence of the day.

The masculine container is the goal, the allocated time, the deadline and the security. It says: "You're safe, go ahead". For me, it's time in my diary, allocated to work on something I care about.

When you realise both are needed to be successful you can start to look at what you're good at and where you need to put a little more focus.

For example, setting the alarm and getting up with purpose is your masculine energy. Enjoying a slow breakfast, walking the dog in peace (listening to the birds and enjoying nature), then sitting down to create without pressure is your feminine energy.

Likewise, making a to do list is masculine energy. Journalling to clear your thoughts is feminine energy.
Putting allocated time in your diary is masculine energy. Enjoying your spontaneity in that time is your feminine energy.

If you're overwhelmed by all the things on your list, you never have time to create your art or or you're afraid you won't make it through the month, you need to learn how to master your masculine energy to give yourself security, to provide focus, to ring fence time for your important art.

If you're lost in mindless tasks, your nervous system feels totally overstimulated, you feel angry and irritable and burnt out by the end of the day, you need to learn how to give room to your feminine energy to offload the deadlines, to sit in your own energy and to make time for you, to make your art, to soak up the healing vibes of nature.
This is the topic of today's episode. It's actually taken from last month's membership content on how to balance masculine and feminine energies to bring your work to the world.

Watching this, you will understand how masculine and feminine energy combine to help you bring your art to the world, you'll get original new ideas for experiencing both energies and you'll have also get a chance to see what this Be The Person membership is all about.

I really hope you enjoy today's episode. If you do, drop me a little message to let me know.
