After nearly 10 years as a social entrepreneur, and 18 years designing and leading social impact programmes, I thought it would be interesting to come back to this question for International Social Enterprise Day.

And what things do I feel we still need to overcome as social entrepreneurs? It's all covered in this episode. I hope you enjoy.

I always love to hear what you're doing as a social entrepreneur and that this episode has actually sparked some thought or question in your mind.

There are so many people out there these days trying to grab your attention on how to reach 6 figures, market your biz and make more sales and although certain approaches and strategies that you learn will no doubt help, what makes the biggest difference and allows you to sustain success is mastering what you're great at and the way you run your business aligned to your values and vision.  When I work with my clients we explore what they need in their sales process and how they embody their values within it. We look at what is and isn't working for them and importantly what they need to master.  In this episode I break this down and share how you can master your own sales approach too.

Sales in social enterprise is my thing, so when I find someone else equally as passionate about sales who also works in and gets social enterprise, I get very excited.  Nova Arkney is one of those people. She reached out to me just a few weeks ago and now you have the pleasure of listening to me speak to her about all the things we've been discussing recently, when it comes to sales and social enterprise.  Through her 10 year career, Nova worked in many different sales roles, including retail, charity and SaaS sales before she decided it was time to share what she knew with young people to help them to get into sales careers too. Having come from a working class background herself, she understands the power of the unique opportunities that exist in sales careers and the frustration of trying to do it alone. Social mobility has long been a focus for her and the ability to combine it and be able to share a career she loved is what drives her and AimHire every day! In this episode we talked about: The lack of diversity in the sales industry and why Nova chose to do something about it  How AimHire supports social mobility through it's expert sales training and recruitment service Why good sales is all about integrity, honesty and standing by your values The surprising fact about what "great" conversion rates look like in traditional sales The myths about sales you need to let go of The huge potential for the social enterprise sector if we took sales (and business development) talent seriously and addressed our biases about what it involves Find out more about Nova Arkney and AimHire here.  Connect with Kat: Instagram: @katluckockcoaching Facebook Group - The Impact Entrepreneurs Club Subscribe here to the podcast to receive weekly email updates of the latest episode.

I'm super excited to introduce you to one of my clients, Hedvig Sandbu, the founder of Abundate, an online language coaching business where she helps busy people find the time, methods and motivation to learn or improve their language skills. We've had some fantastic conversations whilst working together about the power of language and importance of learning and using different languages, to change how we interact with other people and cultures and essentially change the world, through human connection.

You don't need to grow your audience lots, but a little growth every week makes a big difference to your business. In this episode I take you behind the scenes of five things I'm focused on now as I return to my business (post maternity), to grow my own audience of social impact business owners selling services online. None of them are actually new things I've never done, they're just things I know I can improve on, even master, so I build momentum with what already works for my business. I hope these 5 areas provide inspiration for your own business.  Connect with Kat Instagram: @katluckockcoaching Facebook Group - The Impact Entrepreneurs Club Subscribe here to the podcast to receive weekly email updates of the latest episode.

If there's one thing I know to be true, we all doubt ourselves.  Some more than others, some more so at particular times than others, but the doubt is there at different times and in different amounts.  Just because I've had success in my business, and you love listening to me twoddle on, on this podcast, just because I'm a coach doesn't mean I don't doubt myself, my business, and everything I do in it at times. And sometimes ALL THE TIME! Doubt, like the annoying inner voice in my head, is something I've just learnt to live with.  Learnt to accept, and learn from.  Why am I dwelling on doubt? Because I want you to know that the doubt you're feeling about whether you're doing the right thing, whether you're business will make more money this year; whether you'll fill your services and programmes is all completely normal; whether anyone cares what you do; and actually even needs your services. This doubt in no way reflects whether or not you'll have any success. What will define your results and level of success is how you choose to be regardless of this doubt. What you choose to go for. What you courageously step into.  It will be about… Whether you choose to show up, even if you wonder whether it will make any difference.  Whether you dare to share the thing you're nervous to talk about, in case someone judges you or worse mis-understands you.  Whether you dare to voice the part of you that's often unspoken or unheard.  Whether you step in to being the woman you imagine you could be, and create what you desire.  Whether you deeply believe in the power that you hold to create your own reality.  This is how you overcome doubt, not by getting rid of it (trying to figure out why its there and how to erase it) but by moving through it, beyond it, to living in the “possible”. Living in what could happen even with this feeling of doubt? Because the opposite of doubt, I think, is hope, opportunity, possibility. Things we don't know for sure but can lean into, try out, embrace…. Whether you believe it or not, I know that if you're listening to this podcast you already have everything you need within you to create what you desire from your business. I know you have this huge vision you're excited to create. I know you hold it in your heart, sometimes scared to let it out for fear of how others will understand or interpret it, how you'll be looked upon for daring to dream so big.  But that vision is yours for the taking, yours for the creating. Yours and no-one elses. It's within you and is ready to be created.  So if you've been feeling doubtful of what is possible this year. Know this you have everything in your power.  That first client. That next big milestone. That huge impact goal. Whatever it is you've got this and 2022 is going to be your best year yet!

Did you know I started an education program for 11 to 14-year-olds?   Eight years ago, my best friend and I started Solutions for the Planet, an education program focused on the sustainability crisis and empowering children to create change.  At the start of running Solutions for the Planet, we soon realized that in order to attract, nurture and secure our dream partners and clients, we needed to change the way we communicated. Instead of focusing on what we wanted and needed as an organisation, we shifted to focus on our audience's wants and needs.  The thing is, your story is so much more than a chance to share your purpose or your background. It's about connecting your journey and your purpose to your audience. Your target audience wants to go on a journey with you. The challenge is connecting your impact to their hopes, wants, and needs.  Since becoming a coach for Social Entrepreneurs, I've started to realize many small business owners with a social and environmental mission are focusing on the wrong thing. They're spending all this time sharing what they do when they need to be communicating why they do it.   So how can you map the difference you can create for your clients? How can you communicate your social impact story in a more powerful way?  In this episode, I walk through how to create your story. Listen to learn the four steps to building your social impact story and how to spread your message with confidence.  Mentioned in the episode: Solutions for the Planet *This is a mini-training I did for Ecopreneur Summit 2020, organized by Mel Bruce.  Follow Kat Instagram: @katluckockcoaching Facebook Group - The Impact Entrepreneurs Club Subscribe here to the podcast to receive weekly email updates of the latest episode.

With a background in corporate agencies, Liz Boer has worked with big-name brands like Ford Motor Company, Stitch Fix, and Bad Politics—brands moving millions of dollars every single day to drive their business through marketing. When she started working in sales, she realized there was a significant gap in the market. Female-owned businesses were struggling to position their brands, automate their businesses, and grow at scale.  Above all else, Liz believes in personal and financial freedom. For Liz, automating is the magic bullet to growing and scaling your business so you can create the life you want to live.  Organic marketing, however effective, is a slow churn.

After 15 years of working in the oil and gas sector, Elizabeth realized the corporate ladder didn't inspire her anymore. Last year, she and her husband decided to make a massive shift. They left their successful careers in engineering, moved to Wyoming from Texas, and Elizabeth became an online business manager and integrator. Today, Elizabeth helps small business owners create a business and lifestyle that is sustainable, prevents burnout, and prepares their business for growth or change. She encourages her clients not to fall into the trap of always needing expensive platform subscriptions, a big team, or a big budget to be successful. Instead, Elizabeth helps her clients streamline what they do with the intention of making it manageable, attainable, and realistic. Up until about six months ago, I didn't even know what an OBM was. But I've actually worked with Elizabeth on the OBM and integrator side in preparing for maternity leave. She's been incredible in helping me understand my vision and implementing systems and processes. I know there are so many social entrepreneurs out there that could really benefit from hiring an OBM or an integrator.  In this episode, we discuss: What's an OBM? What's an integrator?  How Elizabeth went from engineer to OBM  Why growing your team is cost-effective  How an OBM can help you with your processes The importance of prioritizing your to-do list  3 ways to work with Elizabeth  “Hiring an OBM or an integrator allows you to clear that clutter out of your brain and hand it off to somebody who's likely more skilled at those tasks and can do them quicker and more efficiently. It makes everything run a little smoother.” - Elizabeth Broderick Follow and learn more about Elizabeth Broderick: W: tractionbusinesssolutions.com IG: @traction.business.solutions FB: Traction Business Solutions Follow Kat Instagram: @katluckockcoaching Facebook Group - The Impact Entrepreneurs Club Subscribe here to the podcast to receive weekly email updates of the latest episode.

*This is a mini-training I did in my Facebook Group - The Impact Entrepreneurs Club.  When I ask new community members, “What's your biggest challenge right now?”, their answers range from finding clients to being consistent on social media. All too often, we put so much pressure on ourselves as social entrepreneurs. It can be so hard to know the right step to take, or how to be more effective in your mission to create social and environmental change. How can you generate more funds to make a greater impact? How can you make sure you're more visible online so your dream clients can find you?    I know what it feels like to feel lost or unsure about which direction to take. That's why I'm sharing a recent training I led in The Impact Entrepreneurs Club. The truth is, you're not alone on this social entrepreneur journey.    In this episode, I share tips for how to overcome common challenges faced by social enterprises and businesses. We'll cover how to shift from grant funding to an income model, the key to finding your dream clients, and how to be consistent on social media.

Davey and Daphnah are a multinational digital nomad couple passionate about changing the way business is done by putting people and the planet above profits. After working as full-time English teachers in China, they wanted to combine their teaching skills and knack for organizing to make a bigger impact while having the freedom to travel.    Just as they embarked on their digital nomad journey, Davey and Daphnah launched the Eco Helper to provide virtual support for eco-friendly and ethical online businesses. It quickly became obvious that this business was their future. The Eco Helper specialises in collaboratively supporting their clients by reducing to-do lists, helping them achieve balance, and most of all relieving the stress that comes with running a business. When I started working with the Eco Helper, ​​it became very apparent I needed help with organizing my business. Many of my systems and processes weren't written down or established; they were just all in my head. That's fine when you're working on your own, but when you start building out a team, you need to have those systems and processes written down. Hiring the Eco Helper helped me raise my game and become more strategic. That's why I'm super excited to share this episode with you today.   In this episode, we discuss:  Why Davey and Daphnah chose to create an eco-friendly business   When you should consider hiring a VA Prioritizing education over selling on Instagram  What it's like to work side-by-side with your partner  The power of collaborations and building your community  “We're really trying to empower our clients and our community.

This is something that's been brewing in me for a while and wanted to share, but I've held back because of my own fear of how you will respond. I feel it's so important as women, as CEOs, as people leading for-purpose impactful social environmental businesses, that we need to change the conversation about how much it's okay to earn. Actually, this will help the whole sector change the way it thinks about paying. There is too much focus on paying the living wage (And I'm 100% behind that campaign. I think it's really, really important.) but it's not enough for the incredible skills, expertise, lived experience, knowledge and time people give to their work.  This episode is for the empowered woman who knows she should be earning more in her business right now but is too afraid to set that goal of what she really wants. Whether it's 40k or whether it's another 5k on top of what you're already earning. I know deep down you want to be earning more not out of a place of greed, not out of place of just needing or wanting more, but out of a place of knowing that it's going to help you, your family and all the things you want to be able to contribute to more. In this episode there are five different areas I talk about why I think this matters. As well as some practical reflections for you to think about how you can put this in place and how it fits within your current business. Have a listen and join me in this important and necessary conversation.  Follow Kat Instagram: @katluckockcoaching Facebook Group - The Impact Entrepreneurs Club Subscribe here to the podcast to receive weekly email updates of the latest episode.

*This is a mini-training I did in my Facebook Group - The Impact Entrepreneurs Club.  When I ask my clients, “What motivates you?”, they say it's knowing that they're making a difference. It's knowing that the work they're doing is creating that change, but they're actually delivering on the thing they set up their social enterprises or businesses to do.  Pricing confidence is really about stepping into that place of knowing “When I make sales at this price point, what am I going to do with that extra income?” Recognizing that the pricing doesn't need to be a motive. The pricing isn't really what's important here. What's important is that you generate the income you want so you can actually create the change you want to see. If you don't feel right about your pricing, it's really hard to sell. When you don't feel confident about your pricing, either because you feel it's too low or it's too high, you can't really get behind it and bring the energy that you need to the sales Maybe you don't know if your pricing is right, you've had it in place for a while and you just don't know, you're not sure, you don't know how to check. Maybe you're just at the start of your journey and you really honestly just don't know even where to start with pricing, which is fine, it's a good place to be and you shouldn't worry about it. Pricing shouldn't be the stuff you get stuck on in your business. It should be the stuff that you're able to work out and decide on and move forward with, at whatever stage of business not just at the start. An important thing to remember is to review your pricing fairly regularly. Check if it's still working for you and your business and if it still reflects the value you're giving to clients and customers.  If you know your pricing doesn't really reflect your true value, and you're feeling a nudge and a push to actually increase your prices. And you want to feel really confident about doing that, hopefully, this episode will help.  Mentioned in this episode: The Thrive Soicety Follow Kat Instagram: @katluckockcoaching Facebook Group - The Impact Entrepreneurs Club Subscribe here to the podcast to receive weekly email updates of the latest episode.

Working her way up to buyer level for many high street & designer brands, including Vivienne Westwood, Esther witnessed first-hand the pressure that fashion companies placed on their suppliers, the exploitation of factory workers & the environmental impacts of the industry. She saw the need for urgent change and realised she could not contribute to the broken system any longer. Rather than leaving the industry, she began working on a solution for a new and different business model in the fashion sector.  Fanfare Label was launched in October 2018 - an award-winning circular clothing brand changing the way people buy, wear & consume clothing. The exorbitant amount of waste generated in the fashion industry inspired Fanfare Label to represent the circular economy standard; the label is a representative of what fashion could & should look like.  As a non-traditional fashion brand or label, Fanfare has been featured in Vogue, BBC, Forbes, Glamour, Harper's Bazaar, The  Sunday Times & Drapers, just to name a few. Esther has also hosted several events including working with Oxfam, The Fashion Revolution & International Justice Mission to raise awareness on sustainability and human trafficking. Fanfare, as a sustainable women's wear clothing brand, particularly focuses on the areas of circularity and the idea that we don't need newness all the time. They have a mixture of different recycled and repurposed collections, as well as sustainably designed garments using the latest innovative, sustainable materials in their collections and ensuring that they're biodegradable at end of life. In this episode we discuss:  The many issues with the traditional fashion industry that made Esther choose a different and more aligned path Why Esther chose a circular model for her sustainable fashion brand How this circular model enables Fanfare to generate an income while also giving back The steps Esther has taken to build a brand and business in a way that feels right to her What she'd like to see the fashion industry change when it comes to circularity And top tips for consumers of fashion (ie. everyone) to consider before shopping “Obviously, not every business is 100%, sustainable. But for us, it's really about just doing our best and considering everything and considering as much as we can as well. And that's about having a 360 view towards sustainability. So, looking at every different impact and seeing how we can positively influence that area.” - Esther Knight Follow and learn more about Esther Knight and Fanfare Label: W: www.fanfarelabel.com IG:@fanfarelabel FB: @FanfareLabel Follow Kat Instagram: @katluckockcoaching Facebook Group - The Impact Entrepreneurs Club Subscribe here to the podcast to receive weekly email updates of the latest episode.

When I talk about ‘corporates' I'm really just using that as a catch-all for any organisation or business to business work that you deliver. It doesn't necessarily have to be a corporate. It could be to charities, to other social enterprises, to the public sector, or to any small, medium and large business that may benefit from your services and or want to contribute to the social impact that you want to contribute to creating.  It all works in a very similar way. Because actually, you're pitching to that business' organizational needs, rather than you would if you're selling to an individual client, to their individual personal needs.  There are three ways you can do this. You can try all three in your business or just pick one. Basically, those are models for how to actually think and frame your work with corporates which are part of your business model. It's part of what you do, how you do it, the approach that you take will probably depend on what you're already doing, the kind of social impact you want to deliver or create. And also your specific approach and your expertise, knowledge and skills.  I think the vast majority of service-based social enterprises and product-based social enterprises could be generating significant amounts of income from selling to other organizations, businesses and corporates. It's a real missed opportunity that I'm super passionate about helping you with.  In this episode, I'm sharing three core approaches that social enterprises can take when working with corporates to help them generate the income they need and, most importantly, deliver on the core social impact or environmental impact that they want to create as a business.  Follow Kat Instagram: @katluckockcoaching Facebook Group - The Impact Entrepreneurs Club Subscribe here to the podcast to receive weekly email updates of the latest episode.

I know lots of you are service-based business owners and you really want to give back in some form. Regardless of whether or not you're a social enterprise or you consider yourself a social impact business, there's a lot of you out there who are interested in having and creating some type of social impact, some way of doing more through your business and be able to report on that. This episode is exactly that. It's for you.  Social impact has to be aligned to who you are, your brand, your business, the work you deliver, the people you want to support, and the beneficiaries you want to help. And that is different for all of us. Every single one of us brings a different story and perspective and worldview on the impact that's important that needs to be created and why we want to do that through our business. And that story matters. In this episode, I've picked five areas many service-based organizations and solopreneurs can actually build in or create more social impact through.  Mentioned in this episode: Alyssa Keil, Social Impact Strategist Collaborative Future - founded by Tess Cooper Flourish CIC Follow Kat Instagram: @katluckockcoaching Facebook Group - The Impact Entrepreneurs Club Subscribe here to the podcast to receive weekly email updates of the latest episode.

Giulia is a brand strategist and digital marketing consultant with 18 years of experience gained across the EU, Australia, Asia and the UK. She's also a passionate teacher and associate HEA fellow working at Kingston University. Giulia firmly believes in the power of purpose-led brands and in the positive impact on society that businesses can have. KnowThyBrand was first born when Giulia decided to leave the corporate world after her second child was born, in search of something with more flexibility to continue to grow her career while being there for her kids. After a while, something felt amiss, which led to Giulia coming to the realisation that her favourite projects were those she did pro bono for people in need (start-ups, mumpreneurs, community-ran organisations). Looking for a way to give back while still making an income, Giulia knew she needed to transition into a social enterprise - KnowThyBrand Women. She is dedicated to helping women in businesses to build sustainable companies and career paths through strategic branding and effective communication solutions. Social entrepreneurship is when you listen to your heart, your intuition, and let yourself be guided by what feels like the right thing to do, rather than what may be the traditional narrative about how to do good business. This is why I brought Giulia onto to Creating Social Impact podcast. In this episode we discuss:  Transitioning an existing business into a social enterprise Their business model based on working with different classes of members where the large corporations cover the cost for pro bono work The critical importance of branding when starting or transitioning a business Looking at social enterprises as more of an ethos and a model, rather than a particular type of business that does a particular type of social good Plus so much more!

It doesn't have to feel scary or overwhelming.  All too often we either put off measuring our impact and putting it into a report because it feels too heavy, cumbersome, time-consuming, and sometimes costly. Or we procrastinate because we don't know where to start. If you haven't created an impact report or brought together your data yet, don't worry. You're not alone, this is normal.  There are very few social entrepreneurs, social enterprises that actually publicly share their impact data in a way that's really helpful and meaningful to their audience, customers or stakeholders. So this is exactly why you should! It's core to why we exist as social enterprises.  I want you to release the expectation that it has to be this really ambitious, detailed, high-level report. You can show the incredible change that you've created in numerous creative ways that are so much simpler than that.  In this episode, I share different ways you can present your data and the benefits it provides your business or social enterprise.  Mentioned: Blog - Different ways to present your Social Impact Report or data Follow Kat Instagram: @katluckockcoaching Facebook Group - The Impact Entrepreneurs Club Subscribe here to the podcast to receive weekly email updates of the latest episode.

For a long time the idea of calling myself a CEO felt ridiculous, but then I explored what having a CEO in my business might mean and what I'd need to do to embrace that.   The truth was stepping in to my power as the CEO was hugely transformational for my business, and the surprising thing was I didn't need to be or do anything that was unachievable. I could be me, be a CEO and evolve in both.    We often tag so many emotions and stories to roles, we don't feel ready for when in fact it's easy to embody them when we explore how it might serve us better to embrace those roles and step in to our power of who we already are....rather than telling ourselves "we're not".    So in this episode I share what being the CEO means, it's a lot simpler than you might think and you're probably ready for it now.

As I'm preparing for maternity leave in October and scaling back my own tasks, behind the scenes we're actually busy scaling up the business and really staying intentional and focused on what we want to achieve over the next six to eight months. I've been having questions from a number of you- “How are you doing it? How are you preparing for maternity leave? Who do you have on your team?”  Clients are also curious- “I want to build a team. But I'm not sure how or when the right time is. I'm not sure who I need or how many people to bring onto my team? What do I get them to do? What are the first few things I should outsource or get support with?  So in this episode of the Creating Social Impact podcast, we're gonna look at all of these questions. I'm sharing directly from my experience and insights of how I am building my own growth team. Wherever you are in your business, I hope this episode is helpful in thinking about how you could start to build out your own team, bringing people on to help you scale and grow your business and social impact in whatever way that looks like for you.  Resource mentioned: Asana is the project management system my team and I use to organize, track and manage our work together.  Follow Kat Instagram: @katluckockcoaching Facebook Group - The Impact Entrepreneurs Club Subscribe here to the podcast to receive weekly email updates of the latest episode.

Maybe you've thought at some point along your journey you'll be ready to consider selling to corporates (or other organisations and businesses) in order to increase your revenue. But what if I told you, you don't need to wait. That in most situations where I speak to social enterprise owners, they're already able and capable of selling incredible offers to corporates with what they already have (knowledge, skills and expertise) and / or what they're already delivering. Even if you've just set up your social enterprise it's possible that you could start selling to corporates straight away.

Do you understand the power of your WHY.  I believe your WHY can help you find clarity, make decisions, take action and find solutions to the things you're unsure about at the moment.  It's why I use it as a tool with most of my clients. When they know their WHY or when we reconnect to their WHY we can often quickly find solutions to the things their struggling with. In this episode I talk about how knowing your WHY can help you define your impact strategy, decide what and how to measure your social impact and how it can help you make more money in your business.  It's also a great tool for connecting with people outside your organisation who you want to bring on board.  Listen to learn more about why your WHY is so powerful, and how to figure it out if you don't really know what it is yet.

If you doubt whether you'll reach your income goal, worry about whether your prices are too high, are constantly thinking about changing your prices or offer, wondering how to market to the "right people", worried about whether it's the "right" offer, and how you're going to persuade anyone to buy....then listen in. There's no more need for doubt, questioning, wondering or worrying. In this episode I share the simple shift in perspective that's required to attract more of your dream customers, with ease and without worry. It's simple and effective. And it's completely transformed my business. As people motivated by a desire to create positive change in the world, and live and work aligned to our values, it's important our sales are aligned to our values too, and yet all too often we reject these to listen to what the "sales guru's" say we need to do. I'm here to tell you, you can define and do sales your way, aligned to your values.
