Reach, Brand, Sales. Can you answer THESE three questions? show art Reach, Brand, Sales. Can you answer THESE three questions?

The Lisa Bean Podcast

In order to grow your business as an entrepreneur, you must have a clear answer for these three questions: What are you doing to reach into new markets? How are you build a strong reputation for providing value in those new markets? How are you inviting people to buy? Finding the answer to these questions is a lot about experimentation in the beginning. You begin with a hypothesis, which says: “I think that if I turn up here, in this way, and offer this service, people will buy”. This is not only about making informed decisions between multiple options, it’s about going out and testing...

A few weeks ago I did something I’ve never done before. I put on my first ever theatre-style business show: Laugh or You’ll Cry. A full script. Lighting cues. Sound cues. Slide timing. Jokes I had to actually write and rehearse. For someone whose speaking style is usually “a few bullet points and make the rest up as you go along”, this pushed me right to the edge of my ability. But what surprised me the most wasn’t the logistics of putting on a show… it was what it did to my nervous system. In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of the experience and sharing a huge...

Being in business is hard. It's full on. It's busy. This is especially true when you're winning clients and working hard to deliver behind the scenes. For all those reasons, the balance of creating content and delivering what you've promised to clients is a hard one to maintain. Personally, I've found producing content daily impossible. It's a different energy, and it takes a while to get things set up. That's why we don't do it! We create a lot of our content in key filming days, where we get everything set up, plan our content, and film 4/5 videos in one day! It's effective. It's...

A few weeks ago I did something I’ve never done before. I put on my first ever theatre-style business show: Laugh or You’ll Cry.

A full script. Lighting cues. Sound cues. Slide timing. Jokes I had to actually write and rehearse.

For someone whose speaking style is usually “a few bullet points and make the rest up as you go along”, this pushed me right to the edge of my ability.

But what surprised me the most wasn’t the logistics of putting on a show… it was what it did to my nervous system.

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of the experience and sharing a huge lesson about business, dreams, and how the commercial side of your business actually funds the life you want to create.

Because here’s the truth most entrepreneurs need to hear:

Your business funds your dreams… until your dreams can fund your life.

At the start of business, you don’t have a reputation.
You don’t have proof.
You don’t have a community behind you yet.

So you can’t trade on reputation.

You have to trade on value.

You have to do the thing first, gather the evidence, and then use that evidence to grow the opportunity.

That’s why you can’t cheat the process.

And why chasing a big dream will always take you to the edge of what you think you’re capable of.

Most people turn away from that edge.

But if you can sit in that discomfort and see it through… you don’t walk away the same person who started.
