Show don't tell - the full approach explained (live event recording) 06/30/2025

Show don't tell - the full approach explained (live event recording) Brand new keynote talk from Lisa Bean on how to grow your online coaching / education business, and make more sales as a purpose-driven entrepreneur. This talk walks through how to warm up cold leads, build trust before a sales call, and create marketing content that leads to real clients. Whether you’re a coach, service provider, or creative entrepreneur, this is a straight-talking session on marketing, mindset, and visibility for 2025. Key Timestamps: 00:00 – 01:09 The belief that changed everything: “There is so much money out there to be made.” Customers are already looking — the challenge is being findable. 01:09 – 02:34 Understanding the full customer journey: Cold lead → warm lead → client → repeat client 02:34 – 03:04 The mistake most people make online: asking for too much trust too soon. 03:04 – 04:06 How ranking on Google for “business coach” helped Lisa generate high-converting leads. 04:06 – 05:10 Why her sales calls convert 9.9/10 — and how you can warm up new clients in the same way. 05:10 – 06:10 What to have in place when someone finds you for the first time. 06:10 – 08:00 How to hook people instantly in your videos and why you should give value up front. 08:00 – 09:25 The importance of clarity on your website. If they’re lost, you’ve lost them. 09:25 – 11:10 The three types of content every business needs: - Content that reaches new people - Content that builds your brand - Content that makes your offers clear and easy to buy 11:10 – 14:00 Different ways to reach new audiences: networking, SEO, speaking, ads 14:00 – 15:30 Why marketing matters more than talent — and why you must learn it yourself. 15:30 – 17:00 Credibility signposting: how to show that your brand is experienced and established. 17:00 – 19:00 Why customers need to “test drive” your offer. Discovery calls aren’t enough. 19:00 – 21:00 How Lisa built her events strategy — and why she ran them at a loss to build trust. 21:00 – 23:14 The value of documenting your events and using content as your proof. 23:14 – 25:00 How to create ads from spontaneous moments and event footage. 25:00 – 27:00 Organic social content that builds trust and attention. Why variety matters. 27:00 – 29:00 Selling without pressure. The work you do before the offer is what sells. 29:00 – 31:00 The role of thought leadership in helping people understand what you do and how. 31:00 – 34:00 Turn your real-life insights and client patterns into weekly content. 34:00 – 36:00 Thought leadership as a map: your job is to guide people through the journey. 36:00 – 40:00 Final advice: teach weekly, calibrate your ideas, and document what works. 🔗 Links & Resources: Guide: The 5 Key Questions to Make Sales Online (£7)- Get clarity on your offer, outcomes, and how to stand out in your niche – https://lisa-bean.com/paid-to-serve/ Course: Learn How to Market to Sell in this brand new online course (£99) – Membership: Shift your whole mindset and move through your blocks in the Be The Person monthly membership (£24/month) – #coaching #coachingbusiness #marketingadvice /episode/index/show/daretogrow/id/37215545

ideas on how to make sales in your online business (inspiring + practical) 03/17/2025

ideas on how to make sales in your online business (inspiring + practical) 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 can but not really following up. When you put it starkly like that, you can see the void…and the opportunity! In this week’s video, we’re going to have a chat about making sales in your business, looking specifically at: - What your product needs in order to be attractive (and useful!) to buyers - How to stand out by innovating in your marketing - Why content makes selling easier, and what content to make to help! - The one big feeling a buyer has before they buy from you - What every step of the journey needs in order to help you make more sales and win more clients in your business - The true difference between a warm and cold lead…and how to warm up a cold lead nicely - Do lead magnets work, or rather: Why lead magnets work and how to maximise them. As ever, this is not a prescriptive list of things to do. It’s more of a discussion about the premise of selling and the core concepts of winning new customers in your business. Dive in and enjoy!

The Vibrational Glow Up: How to Align Your Energy for Massive Growth 10/21/2024

The Vibrational Glow Up: How to Align Your Energy for Massive Growth Change is a physical act. Once you catch a glimpse of the person you want to become and the life you want to live, there are key steps you can take to expand that feeling, take meaningful action, and hold the intention until your new reality unfolds in front of you. In today’s video, I’m breaking down the 3-5 essential actions you can take to step into the next level of your life and business. - In today’s episode, I'm going to walk you through what it takes to truly change your life, break old patterns, and rise to a whole new level of success and impact. We're covering: 0:00 - Intro: Change is a Physical Act Change begins with seeing who you want to become and then physically taking action to make that vision a reality. It’s not just about mindset shifts—it’s about real-world steps that will push you into alignment with your desired life. 1:01 - The Commitment: Moving from Six Figures to Seven I committed to shifting from running a six-figure business to a seven-figure one. In this section, I talk about how I realised the limitations of focusing on "six figures" and the mindset change that came with wanting more. Changing your identity and vibration is the first step to changing your life. 2:55 - Life Mirrors You: What’s Showing Up for You? Your outer world is a direct reflection of your inner state. If you're not happy with what’s happening around you, look inside. I explain how your bank account, relationships, health, and energy levels give you honest feedback about where you’re at in your journey. 3:50 - Manifestation and Vibrational Alignment: Be the Result First You can’t wait for the results to show up before you start acting like the person who already has them. In this section, I dive into how to get into vibrational alignment with your goals and why you need to embody the energy of your desired outcome before it arrives. 5:21 - Interpreting Life Differently: Two People, Same Event Two people can experience the same situation and interpret it completely differently based on their vibration. I share a story about a busy week where I chose to embrace an exciting speaking opportunity instead of feeling overwhelmed—highlighting how your attitude can shift everything. 6:10 - The Glow Up: What My Transformation Looked Like Six to eight weeks ago, I committed to becoming the person who runs a seven-figure business. I break down what this glow-up looked like in action—from shifting my mindset to overhauling my habits and how I carry myself. Your glow-up is waiting for you, but it requires dedication and consistency. 8:03 - Strategy Session: Using ChatGPT to Plan My Business Model When I wanted to figure out how to scale my business to seven figures, I literally took out my laptop, opened ChatGPT, and mapped out a plan. This is one of the key strategies I used to see the path forward and break down seemingly impossible goals into actionable steps. 12:18 - Expanding Capacity: Taking on Bigger Projects In order to level up, I had to expand my capacity to handle more—more clients, more events, more opportunities. I share how I’m ramping up my events, networking, and speaking engagements, and why capacity is critical to scaling your business and achieving bigger goals. 14:45 - Shifting Vibration: Creating Opportunities Through Action When you operate at a higher vibration, new opportunities flow in. From big networking events to new business deals, I explain how staying in that high-frequency state allows you to magnetize better and bigger opportunities. 18:29 - Turning Vision Into Action: It's About Projects, Not Dreams It’s not enough to have a vision—you need to turn that vision into concrete projects. I discuss how making real progress in your business and life requires taking responsibility and setting up systems and actions that align with your goals. 22:40 - Grounding Yourself in Action: Focus on What You Did Do Instead of focusing on what didn’t go right, I ground myself in the actions I did take. I share how reflecting on my wins and consistent actions helps me stay aligned with my bigger vision. This shift from focusing on lack to focusing on action is key to staying in a high vibration. 28:35 - Three Key Responsibility Scales: Vision, Vibration, Healing To see real change, you need to take responsibility for three things: your vision (turning it into action), your vibration (keeping it high and aligned), and your healing (letting go of blocks that are holding you back). I introduce the concept of "responsibility scales" to help you assess where you are and where you need to grow. 37:18 - Visualisation Exercise: Scaling Up Your Life and Business I guide you through a powerful visualisation exercise to help you see what your life looks like at different levels—5/10, 7/10, and 9/10. This is a game-changing practice that will allow you to get clear on what you need to shift to reach your next level. /episode/index/show/daretogrow/id/33542952

THIS approach is how I've stayed in business for 15+ years 10/15/2024

THIS approach is how I've stayed in business for 15+ years "We don't want your sales page promise, we want to follow a true 'person of substance.'" Is it fair to say the illusion of social media is over in the sense that we don't want another well-hooked promise... we want insight, we want inspiration, we want connection? More than any big sales page offer, testimonial proof or clever marketing hook, don't we want to feel like we're on the journey with someone we can trust, that we're following someone who shares genuine insights that can help us move forward, like there's somewhere we can go to get back on track when we feel lost or uninspired? We don't want the sales page promise, we want to follow a person of substance right? Someone we can trust. Someone who shares true insights from the journey and the market. Someone we can even lean on in tough times. Being this person of substance is what I'm talking about in today's episode, along with two other vital strategies for building community, audience and business in 2025. This is my approach to business and truth be told, it always has been.

What I'm telling clients right now - Step by step strategy for making sales 09/06/2024

everyone said 'sales are down' and I had one of my best months yet! 08/28/2024

everyone said 'sales are down' and I had one of my best months yet! I’ve just come back from a massive summer of selling, and it was helped by two things: (1) I got married and took a week off, so I had to do more in less time to be fully present at my wedding; and, (2) everyone was reporting 'sales are down, sales are down' but people were looking to me for how to make sales. It’s a topic no one wants to get into publicly but behind the scenes, soooo many of my client calls are about turning on sales in online businesses. So, I didn’t even really have the answer. I mean, I did - I know how to sell and what it takes but it felt like this summer, something else was needed...something a little more extra haha. I reminded myself of two laws that have always served me: (1) I never got more by doing less - so do more Lisa: explosive action, explosive energy, explosive service; and, (2) If I put myself out there fully - in heart and spirit and honesty - I would be supported and good things would happen: so turn up and serve Lisa. Go be useful to future clients! So, I cranked up the content. But, because I didn’t have time to get all my gear out, film, edit and produce, I just filmed stuff live and then reposted that content. I uploaded an Instagram live, called ‘how to make sales over summer’ (you might have seen it as '100 sales attempts'), to YouTube and to Facebook and my podcast and my site and then emailed it to everyone too. Then I got clever and spent £100 on ads boosting it to strangers who are most like my current audience and it reached another 60,000 people. That was pretty cool. I sent mailers off the cuff, which I typed on my phone...at the gym or on a dog walk. I made more content for social, scheduled it and sent it. But it wasn’t all Reels for reach. It was stuff I knew my small, current community would see and like. A lot of it came from membership content, insights from client calls and clips from the live I did. I said yes to speaking at a rather large summer summit (shout out to Jacky who turned up BIG over summer!), even though I really didn’t have the time lol. And I announced a new webinar called ‘Mentor Vibes’, which I made the slides for the day before (because it was literally all so new!) and filmed it live with everyone on the call. I also finished my '£99 marketing to sell' course, which gave me the perfect 'attraction event' to rave about, so went nuts on telling people about that too haha. Sales exploded!!! I sold my £7 guide and my £99 micro course on marketing and won new clients for my £900 hyper focused coaching offer and Straight Line Through (£996) and I’ve got so many people interested in cohort 2 of SLT. It’s madness. But equally it’s not! Because… 💡 If you show up more, with more value, to more people, of course you create more opportunity. 💡 If you run webinars on novel things that are working for you and turn up generously with real knowledge, tactics and energy, of course more people lean into you. 💡 If you say yes and figure it out on the go, of course you’ll fit it in and honour your promises. 💡 If you trust the magic and purpose within you and open the gates and let it out, of course you’ll be of service and magic will take hold of you and the whole situation. But, I have to say, there was something that made all the difference. Like, it all mashed together to give me the win but when I think about what really made the difference, it’s this: Authentic vibes: reach: depth: offer. I showed up as myself and I went a bit mad. I let my full self out to play. Not everyone wanted that energy but those who did welcomed it fully. They wanted it and they needed it. (That's the authentic vibes bit.) I used free and paid content to get reach. Getting into other people’s fabulous networks was a win too! Long format, long format, long format. This is the depth bit! Make a live and share it, run a webinar and teach, give people real strategy, real insights, real guidance. Go deep and truly create transformation up front. Pitch!!! (The offer bit.) I did that webinar and sold my heart out at the end, but in succchh a chill way. I sold my stuff for the people who wanted to work with me and went into the details, but said to those who didn’t “that’s the end of the content if you don’t want to hear the pitch”. Or something like that. And I sold it. All this to say… You don't get more from doing less. At this stage, for most business owners, it is explosive action, explosive energy, explosive service that will give you the explosive result. So what's your next move?

How to balance masculine and feminine energy to bring your art to the world 07/19/2024

How to balance masculine and feminine energy to bring your art to the world 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.

How to make your purpose driven work 05/13/2024

#25 Don't 'yearn', do THIS to produce results (surprising) 06/12/2024

#25 Don't 'yearn', do THIS to produce results (surprising) You know, the memory of who you 'are' is so much more powerful than the identity of the person you're trying to become simply because it has more evidence and has been 'true' for longer. In trying to change your life and get a new result in your business, you have to let go of the memory of who you thought you were and allow yourself to consider a new identity and narrative...every single day. Look around you right now... The room you're in is telling you who you are. The worries / dreams you woke up with are telling you who you are. The clothes you're wearing today are telling you who you are. Even the emails you receive are telling you who you are. They all support a narrative. And you believe that narrative so much, you act it out and act within its framework every day. Even if you have a vision board, or list out your goals or are going to the gym to hype yourself up, underneath all of this, two things remain true: (1) You must fill the void your yearning created in order to get the result - we do this by looking for ways to feel good and taking creative action; and, (2) You must remove the narrative that is sabotaging your result on loop, without needing the poor result to flip the script! Oh my! In today's episode, I want to do something a little bit different. I want to explain to you what I know about the three levels of manifestation, one of them being 'grit work', I want to show you how to measure the strength of your intention by the actions you're taking, and I want you to get honest about your next move. Look, for a long time I've found it hard to balance the narratives of manifestation and hard work. I don't like it when someone focuses exclusively on one end of the spectrum when they both have a place. The key, it turns out, isn't in how they're different, but in how they're the same. If you wake up with positive expectation that good things are coming your way and use your own unique edge to actually create something magical in the world, you're well on your way. The only things left to do are to fill any void of yearning and remove the block that sabotages the result when it comes and you're there. I want to formalise this process for you today and help you find more reasons to believe in your vision and take bolder, truer action towards it. Manifestation and work come hand in hand. They're friends, not enemies. So, press play to: Learn about the three levels of 'manifestation' the books forgot to tell us. See where your subconscious intentions are in conflict with your conscious intentions and bring things in balance. Break your vision down into 'levels' to really see what it will take to make it happen. Get a gritty, honest and somehow magical boost to keep going on your journey of transformation. I really hope you enjoy today's episode and it unlocks something for you that helps you go bigger in your efforts and energies today.

#24 Under £25k in online sales - listen to this! 05/24/2024

#24 Under £25k in online sales - listen to this! This is the truth of how I went from zero to £100,000 in online sales in my online coaching business. Look, I know you’re trying and I know you think it should be working right now. You took the leap to build your online business, you’ve made sales here and there but it feels too hard and you’re wondering: Will this ever work; have I got what it takes? IT WILL AND YOU DO but - You’ve got to do what will actually work and I’m going to be really straight and tell you what those things are right now. The truth is it’s harder than a lot of people will tell you online. For this to work, you've got to be so hungry for this to work, you've got to feel like it’s your life's mission to show up in this way and make this work, you've got to focus on learning the proper skills of positioning value, marketing, mindset and sales to turn on sales and set yourself free. I know you want more clients and I know you can help more people. But I also know that the best coaches don't win - the best marketeers do, every time. So, if you want to build an online business and be an online coach or course provider, you've got to accept the fact you're about to become an expert in online marketing and selling. And I'm going to help you! So here's the bottom line. In a job, you get paid for showing up, regardless if you do the work or not. In entrepreneurship you do not get paid for showing up. You get paid for two reasons: (1) You added meaningful value to someone who was willing to pay for that value; and (2) Enough people got the chance to consider that valuable offer in the first place. If you’re not making sales it HAS to come down to one of those two things and both are skills you develop with work, trial and error and well, more work. - For juicy context, here are some of those key ideas: (1) Get into the world: First and foremost (hilarious phrase!?) you’ve got to get out in the world and sell things. Content will not lead to sales, no matter how great it is. What leads to sales is webinars, masterclasses, live workshops, discovery calls, freebies with a clear call to action. In the beginning, I understood this deeply. I made a lot of content to help build my brand and build trust, but I was ALLLWAAYYYSSS launching, selling stuff, trying stuff. I’d put on events in local coffee shops, I’d book hotel venues and put on talks every month, I’d go live on Facebook and announce new course launches. When I look back on my journey, I can see I was out there in the world. I was making new connections ALL THE TIME. I was meeting people. I was making pitches and offering things and I built my business one client at a time. Now, I tend to do long copy PDFs, and online masterclasses and workshops rather than live stuff. Back then, I did a lot in person. So ask yourself: How many times have I offered something low risk to bring people to the front of the room this year? If you can 10x that you will massively increase your sales. (2) Tell people what you believe: Don’t share boring generic sh!t and DON’T YOU DARE USE CHAT WHATEVER IT’S CALLED TO SHARE YOUR CONTENT. I don’t even think you can use it for ideas if I’m honest. No-one wants to hear from a robot and no-one wants a generic summary of waffle off the internet. They want to know what worked for you! They want your powerful insights. They want the map you made! They want a human's journey. So honestly, get really deep with yourself and think about two things: (1) What is the one big outcome you can deliver right now for clients; and (2) What is the truth of what that will take. Go make that content. Go write those mailers. Go build offers in answer to that. (3) More time with clients: Listen - get on calls with clients, offer more group time, offer more live time, offer more 121 time. If you’re not making sales right now, being tight with your time is hilarious isn’t it?! Instead offer more!! Double the time they get with you. If you have an online course, introduce a live weekly call where you teach key concepts and answer questions. If you’re coaching is 6 sessions, make it 6 sessions + 3 action check ins. If you have a group, make one week live training and another week dedicated Q&A. This doesn’t just make it a great offer, it gives you so much valuable insight about where people are, what they need, how you can help.

Overwhelmed? Here's clear inspiration for completing THAT project! / A Quick Listen 05/09/2024

Overwhelmed? Here's clear inspiration for completing THAT project! / A Quick Listen Open projects come with an emotional toll! If there's something you can't get to because of time, but you're seeing evidence of it everywhere you turn, that will drain your energy and enthusiasm for that project. It's just so frustrating and taxing! So, here's what I recommend: (1) List your projects in order of priority. I know you want to do them all at once but you can't. So be bold. Put them in order so you can give them your all when they get to the top of the list. [Tip: I like to think about one key project per month! If the 'big project' is something like 'renovate hallway', I break it down into cut the wood panels, attach wood panels, prep, paint prep, painting, dress. One of two of these sub projects are allocated per month.] (2) Look in your diary and physically ring fence time to work on the upcoming projects. Recently, in writing my book proposal for Hay House, I scheduled time to clear things off my list to make room and I scheduled time for research, drafting ideas and polishing key sections. If you don't schedule the time, you don't have the time. (3) Use time slots! I would set myself a 60 minute timer with one key task like 'write bio in book proposal' or '60 minutes editing for membership content'. After the 60 minutes, I've begun and don't want to stop. But it stops me bailing too soon! At the end of the day, your success comes down to how well you can define these projects, allocate time to them and work through one by one in a self directed way. - How to find the subconscious block that's holding you back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4a7KFB7xYg&t=1345s How to stop self-sabotage - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVBbey5LfTQ Click here to download the 2024 planning tool, with the 'five levels' for your key goals: https://lisa-bean.com/strategy/ Click here for 33 pages on how to sell - it's honest, practical and motivational - Connect with me: Check out my website https://lisa-bean.com/ Connect with me on Instagram https://instagram.com/lisabeanuk Connect with me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/lisambean/ /episode/index/show/daretogrow/id/31209747
