00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.100
Welcome back to Mib Speaks podcast, the podcast
00:00:03.100 --> 00:00:05.540
for mums and women in business who are done with
00:00:05.540 --> 00:00:08.480
the noise, the nonsense and the endless advice
00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:11.660
that sounds good but changes absolutely nothing.
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:14.660
I'm Leona and today we're having a very real
00:00:14.660 --> 00:00:18.160
conversation. Forget the fluff. Forget the quotes
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:20.820
that make you feel good for five minutes. Forget
00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:23.660
the Instagram advice that sounds pretty but gives
00:00:23.660 --> 00:00:26.440
you nothing to do. Forget the just manifest the
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:29.539
energy with little to no action behind it. Because
00:00:29.539 --> 00:00:32.280
your business doesn't need more inspiration.
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:36.240
It needs direction. It needs decisions. It needs
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.799
movement. Fluff feels productive. Fluff feels
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.619
motivating. Fluff feels like you're working on
00:00:42.619 --> 00:00:45.179
your business. But fluff doesn't pay the bills.
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.619
Fluff doesn't build confidence. Fluff doesn't
00:00:48.619 --> 00:00:51.500
create clients. And I want you to really hear
00:00:51.500 --> 00:00:55.100
this. Because so many smart, capable women get
00:00:55.100 --> 00:00:58.070
stuck here. You can read all of the books, you
00:00:58.070 --> 00:01:00.329
can listen to all of the podcasts, you can save
00:01:00.329 --> 00:01:02.929
all of the quotes, but if nothing changes in
00:01:02.929 --> 00:01:05.430
your actions, nothing changes in your results.
00:01:05.750 --> 00:01:08.969
So let's talk about what it actually takes to
00:01:08.969 --> 00:01:11.989
move the needle. Real progress. Real progress
00:01:11.989 --> 00:01:14.870
in business comes down to a few unglamorous things.
00:01:15.469 --> 00:01:18.950
Clarity, consistency, and visibility. Follow
00:01:18.950 --> 00:01:21.129
through, not hustle, not hype, not perfection.
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.120
And yet most people avoid the basics because
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:27.920
they're uncomfortable. They're unsexy. Posting
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.439
when nobody's clapping. Following up when it
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.760
feels awkward. Talking about your offer more
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.099
than just once. Yes, more than just once. Charging
00:01:37.099 --> 00:01:40.120
properly. Being visible when you don't feel confident.
00:01:40.180 --> 00:01:43.560
That is not fluff. That's work. And here's the
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:47.280
truth. the women and mibs who succeed aren't
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.680
doing more they're doing less but they're doing
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.680
it consistently if you're feeling overwhelmed
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:56.480
stuck or frustrated it's rarely because you don't
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:59.609
know enough In fact, you probably know too much.
00:01:59.609 --> 00:02:02.150
It's usually because you're over -complicating
00:02:02.150 --> 00:02:05.069
things. You're consuming instead of implementing.
00:02:05.569 --> 00:02:08.770
You're avoiding the uncomfortable basics. So
00:02:08.770 --> 00:02:11.150
let's strip it right back. If I took away all
00:02:11.150 --> 00:02:13.969
the noise, all the strategies, all the trends,
00:02:14.669 --> 00:02:16.409
What would actually grow your business right
00:02:16.409 --> 00:02:19.650
now? More, more conversations, more visibility,
00:02:19.930 --> 00:02:23.189
more follow -up, clearer offers, stronger boundaries,
00:02:23.330 --> 00:02:26.430
and that's it. Not another funnel, not another
00:02:26.430 --> 00:02:29.270
rebrand, not another course. And this is where
00:02:29.270 --> 00:02:31.669
I want you to pause. I want you to be honest
00:02:31.669 --> 00:02:34.689
with yourself. Where are you calling learning
00:02:34.689 --> 00:02:38.889
that is actually hiding? What are you calling
00:02:38.889 --> 00:02:43.039
planning that is actually avoiding? What are
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.120
you calling busy that actually isn't moving the
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.259
needle? Because fluff gives you a sense of progress
00:02:49.259 --> 00:02:53.039
without the discomfort of action. But discomfort
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:56.780
is where growth happens. Now let's get practical
00:02:56.780 --> 00:03:00.219
because this episode here isn't here to sound
00:03:00.219 --> 00:03:02.199
good. It's here to help you move the needle.
00:03:02.620 --> 00:03:06.460
Here's your first forget the fluff action. Write
00:03:06.460 --> 00:03:08.840
down these three things actually bring in clients
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:11.919
in your business. Not what looks impressive.
00:03:12.259 --> 00:03:15.280
Not what everybody else is doing. Not what you
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.159
think you should be doing. What actually works?
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:18.939
What brings your clients into your business?
00:03:19.060 --> 00:03:21.780
And ask yourself, am I spending time doing these
00:03:21.780 --> 00:03:25.139
or am I avoiding them? Here's the second action.
00:03:25.259 --> 00:03:27.639
Pick one of the things that you've been overthinking
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.219
and simplify it. If you've been rewriting the
00:03:30.219 --> 00:03:32.659
post, publish it. If you've been tweaking the
00:03:32.659 --> 00:03:35.000
offer, sell it. If you've been planning the launch,
00:03:35.139 --> 00:03:38.479
start talking about it. Done is better than perfect,
00:03:38.699 --> 00:03:41.879
always. Here's a third action, and this one matters.
00:03:42.539 --> 00:03:46.280
Have one honest conversation with a potential
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.539
client, with yourself, with a collaborator, with
00:03:49.539 --> 00:03:52.800
somebody who needs to know what you do and why
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.560
you do it. No pitch, no pressure, just clarity.
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.860
Because conversations build businesses faster
00:03:58.860 --> 00:04:02.219
than any content will ever. Now I want to talk
00:04:02.219 --> 00:04:04.840
about mindset, but real mindset, not the fluffy
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.599
kind of mindset. Mindset isn't just journaling
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.919
about success while avoiding the action. Mindset
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.539
is choosing responsibility. It's choosing you
00:04:13.539 --> 00:04:16.220
over anything else. It's doing the thing when
00:04:16.220 --> 00:04:18.480
it feels uncomfortable. It's backing yourself
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.939
before you have proof. Mindset sounds like I
00:04:21.939 --> 00:04:24.319
will do the basics even when they're boring.
00:04:24.459 --> 00:04:26.980
I will follow through even when I don't want
00:04:26.980 --> 00:04:30.029
to. Or when I don't feel confident, I will stop
00:04:30.029 --> 00:04:33.889
waiting to feel ready. Here's something important,
00:04:34.069 --> 00:04:37.449
especially for mums and women in business. You
00:04:37.449 --> 00:04:40.829
don't need to do everything. You don't need to
00:04:40.829 --> 00:04:43.670
be everywhere. You don't need to keep up with
00:04:43.670 --> 00:04:46.050
all of the trends and everybody else. You need
00:04:46.050 --> 00:04:48.949
a business that works for your life. But that
00:04:48.949 --> 00:04:52.769
requires focus. And focus means saying no to
00:04:52.769 --> 00:04:56.170
fluff. So let me leave you with this. If you
00:04:56.170 --> 00:05:00.029
stripped your business back to basics, the actions
00:05:00.029 --> 00:05:02.990
that create momentum, income and confidence,
00:05:03.350 --> 00:05:06.550
what would remain? And what would you finally
00:05:06.550 --> 00:05:10.509
let go of? Because the women who grow aren't
00:05:10.509 --> 00:05:13.709
doing more. They're doing what matters consistently.
00:05:14.350 --> 00:05:18.009
So forget the fluff and do the work. Back yourself
00:05:18.009 --> 00:05:22.009
and remember, clarity comes from action and not
00:05:22.009 --> 00:05:25.350
overthinking. If this episode has hit home with
00:05:25.350 --> 00:05:27.709
you, please share with another Mib who needs
00:05:27.709 --> 00:05:30.509
a reminder. And I'll see you on next time on
00:05:30.509 --> 00:05:31.250
Mib Speaks.
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.100
Welcome back to Mib Speaks podcast, the podcast
00:00:03.100 --> 00:00:05.540
for mums and women in business who are done with
00:00:05.540 --> 00:00:08.480
the noise, the nonsense and the endless advice
00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:11.660
that sounds good but changes absolutely nothing.
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:14.660
I'm Leona and today we're having a very real
00:00:14.660 --> 00:00:18.160
conversation. Forget the fluff. Forget the quotes
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:20.820
that make you feel good for five minutes. Forget
00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:23.660
the Instagram advice that sounds pretty but gives
00:00:23.660 --> 00:00:26.440
you nothing to do. Forget the just manifest the
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:29.539
energy with little to no action behind it. Because
00:00:29.539 --> 00:00:32.280
your business doesn't need more inspiration.
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:36.240
It needs direction. It needs decisions. It needs
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.799
movement. Fluff feels productive. Fluff feels
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.619
motivating. Fluff feels like you're working on
00:00:42.619 --> 00:00:45.179
your business. But fluff doesn't pay the bills.
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.619
Fluff doesn't build confidence. Fluff doesn't
00:00:48.619 --> 00:00:51.500

move the needle. Real progress. Real progress
00:01:11.989 --> 00:01:14.870
in business comes down to a few unglamorous things.
00:01:15.469 --> 00:01:18.950
Clarity, consistency, and visibility. Follow
00:01:18.950 --> 00:01:21.129
through, not hustle, not hype, not perfection.
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.120
And yet most people avoid the basics because

That is not fluff. That's work. And here's the

doing more they're doing less but they're doing

know enough In fact, you probably know too much.
00:01:59.609 --> 00:02:02.150
It's usually because you're over -complicating
00:02:02.150 --> 00:02:05.069
things. You're consuming instead of implementing.
00:02:05.569 --> 00:02:08.770
You're avoiding the uncomfortable basics. So
00:02:08.770 --> 00:02:11.150
let's strip it right back. If I took away all
00:02:11.150 --> 00:02:13.969

more follow -up, clearer offers, stronger boundaries,

and that's it. Not another funnel, not another
00:02:26.430 --> 00:02:29.270
rebrand, not another course. And this is where
00:02:29.270 --> 00:02:31.669
I want you to pause. I want you to be honest
00:02:31.669 --> 00:02:34.689
with yourself. Where are you calling learning
00:02:34.689 --> 00:02:38.889

post, publish it. If you've been tweaking the
00:03:32.659 --> 00:03:35.000
offer, sell it. If you've been planning the launch,
00:03:35.139 --> 00:03:38.479
start talking about it. Done is better than perfect,
00:03:38.699 --> 00:03:41.879
always. Here's a third action, and this one matters.
00:03:42.539 --> 00:03:46.280
Have one honest conversation with a potential
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.539
client, with yourself, with a collaborator, with
00:03:49.539 --> 00:03:52.800
somebody who needs to know what you do and why
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.560
you do it. No pitch, no pressure, just clarity.
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.860
Because conversations build businesses faster
00:03:58.860 --> 00:04:02.219

waiting to feel ready. Here's something important,
00:04:34.069 --> 00:04:37.449
especially for mums and women in business. You
00:04:37.449 --> 00:04:40.829
don't need to do everything. You don't need to
00:04:40.829 --> 00:04:43.670
be everywhere. You don't need to keep up with
00:04:43.670 --> 00:04:46.050
all of the trends and everybody else. You need
00:04:46.050 --> 00:04:48.949
a business that works for your life. But that
00:04:48.949 --> 00:04:52.769
requires focus. And focus means saying no to
00:04:52.769 --> 00:04:56.170
fluff. So let me leave you with this. If you
00:04:56.170 --> 00:05:00.029
stripped your business back to basics, the actions
00:05:00.029 --> 00:05:02.990
that create momentum, income and confidence,
00:05:03.350 --> 00:05:06.550
what would remain? And what would you finally
00:05:06.550 --> 00:05:10.509
let go of? Because the women who grow aren't
00:05:10.509 --> 00:05:13.709
doing more. They're doing what matters consistently.
00:05:14.350 --> 00:05:18.009
So forget the fluff and do the work. Back yourself
00:05:18.009 --> 00:05:22.009
and remember, clarity comes from action and not
00:05:22.009 --> 00:05:25.350
overthinking. If this episode has hit home with
00:05:25.350 --> 00:05:27.709
you, please share with another Mib who needs
00:05:27.709 --> 00:05:30.509
a reminder. And I'll see you on next time on
00:05:30.509 --> 00:05:31.250
