The Powerful Content Podcast

Sometimes life gives you a nudge. . . and other times, it gives you a big ol' shove.   In this episode of the Powerful Content Podcast, Mel pulls back the curtain on a season of big change and why stepping back from her full-time business (and into a couple of Christmas casual jobs) was one of the best decisions she's made.  This wasn't a planned pivot. But it brought more joy, clarity and perspective than she could've imagined. Mel shares what it looked like to shift her business into side hustle mode, how it's helped her reconnect with what matters most. Add to this the surprising benefits she's experienced - like a boost in creativity, moving her body more and actually feeling excited about business again.  She also shares six powerful lessons from this experience and how she's continued to build recurring income (without burning out) using Kajabi.  If you've ever felt like your business no longer fits the season you're in, this one's for you.  You'll walk away with gentle questions to reflect on, so you can check in with yourself, your business, and what success really looks like right now. For you.  Episode Breakdown:  0:00 When business no longer fits your life  00:32 Welcome to the Powerful Content Podcast  01:32 Acknowledgement to Country  01:49 A personal story: Pressing pause  02:21 The catalyst moment (thank you Rowena Mabbott!)  03:27 Applying for Christmas casual jobs  06:09 Landing two roles and what they taught me  06:59 What I've learned from stepping back  13:27 Health benefits I didn't expect  15:16 Reflecting and an invitation to explore Kajabi  16:08 Gentle questions to help you check in  17:19 Final thoughts and how we can work together    Links mentioned in this podcast  Kajabi affiliate link with $1,500 extra bonuses from Mel  Kajabi freebie – Make your first $100 on Kajabi  Rowena Mabbott's Design Your Season Workbook    If you enjoyed listening to this episode, then you'll also love:  Episode 163 - How I created a new course in less than a day and increased my list by 10%  Episode 164 - How to prepare and organise your content for a purposeful launch  Loved the episode?

Have you ever wondered how to stay visible without having to be in all of the places, all of the time.?  Trying to do visibility the way the experts tell you to can feel like you're constantly stuck in a never-ending to-do list.

Welcome to the Powerful Content Podcast Episode 154 Speaking with confidence isn't just for the ‘naturals'—it's for anyone who has something to say (which, let's be honest, is all of us).

Do you believe that engagement is the most important thing when it comes to your social media content?  Well, despite what you may have been told, it's not.  In this episode of the Powerful Content Podcast, Mel Daniels challenges the common belief that social media engagement is the most critical metric for business success.     She argues that while engagement—likes, comments, shares—is often touted by experts and algorithms, it does not necessarily translate to increased clients and revenue. Focusing on these 'vanity metrics' can distract from creating a holistic content strategy that leads potential clients through a journey to conversion.     The episode includes insights on why seeking validation through engagement is misleading, highlights the low engagement rates of successful businesses, and encourages a shift towards metrics that reflect meaningful actions, such as landing page visits, downloads, and sales. Mel also announces her upcoming masterclass, ‘Clicks to Clients,' aimed at providing strategies to create content that converts.
