On my computer monitor is a yellow post-it note. On it it has three words. It says:

"I do know."

The word DO is underlined with a pink highlighter.

I’ve had this Post-It note on my monitor for at least three years. Maybe longer. I don’t even see it any more.

But when I recently shared a photo of my office on social media, one of our HerBusiness members asked me why that post was there.

What did it mean?

It was an interesting exchange as I explained its meaning to her. And I share it with you in this episode of the HerBusiness Podcast.

Listen to hear:

• What to do when you don’t know the next step to take
• Why now is the time to back yourself
• How bringing the right people around you makes business so much easier and a whole lot more fun

What’s holding you back from growing your business and making more profit?

What’s stopping YOU from reaching more people and building your profile and reaching those long-held business goals?

Perhaps it’s not that you don’t have the skills or the right people in your network.

For some of us, the issue is feeling like you don’t deserve to dream big. Or, maybe you know exactly where you’d like to take your business, but you’re not sure how to get there.

Often these feelings can lead you to believe that if you push harder, you’ll achieve more. But working harder might be working against you.

In this episode of the HerBusiness podcast, my special guest, Gabrielle Bernstein, explains how doing less can help you attract more of what you want into your business and your life. And, how you can do that by becoming what she calls, a super attractor.

Stop pushing harder and thrive in your business

You’ll hear how feeling good, regardless of the situation, is the first step to unblocking the goals for your business.

And why, as a business owner, one of the best things you can do is have fun.

Listen to this episode to discover:

• How releasing fear helps you attract more of what you desire
• Gabby’s four-step process to getting the most out of your business, without working harder
• Why the key to success is to stop relying on your strength
• How the three-step “Choose Again Method” will change your life
• The role appreciation plays in moving you towards your business goals

Hey there. I was inspired to make today's focus Sharpening Your voice after reading Ann Handley's newsletter. Ann is the author of Everybody Writes, a digital marketing pioneer and the Chief Content Officer of MarketingProfs, the leading marketing training company with more than 600,000 subscribers.

In her cleverly-named newsletter, Annarchy she was talking about this idea of Sharpening Your Voice. The message was not about saying more, but being more thoughtful about what you do say. Sharper.

In this episode of the HerBusiness podcast I talk about not just sharing your voice, but Sharpening Your voice. And there's a big difference.

Technology has made it easy for us all to speak, to Tweet, to write, to publish mountains of content, all with a few keystrokes and at the click of a button.

Over the last couple of weeks, there has been a lot of turmoil in the world. I've personally received a lot of communications from brands who want to tell me where they stand on the significant issues.

Unfortunately, many are sounding same-same and not offering any value or taking a clear stand. I've seen cliches and overused terms that don't really say anything.

As marketers, as business owners — our job is to move people towards making a decision, to inspire and to lead people to change. Our voice is the primary vehicle we have to help us to realise those goals. But, the value that is uniquely ours won't be heard if we follow 'groupthink' and use a voice that is the carbon copy of our competitors' voices.

Listen to hear:

• The mistake big brands are making with ‘karaoke-singalong’ copy
• Four ways that you can sharpen your voice
• How to be ready that people are ready to HEAR you
• Why true communication is evident by the response that you get
• How sharpening my voice has help grow engagement from podcast listeners
