I'm so excited about my next guest Lisa Messenger, founder of Collective Hub. I've known Lisa for quite a while now, being one of the OGs in the Sydney entrepreneurial community. Despite having no experience in media or magazine, and also despite print media being on a decline by this point, Lisa launched Collective Hub magazine in 2013. And it was wildly successful and physically distributed in over 37 countries featuring the likes of Richard Branson and Jamie Oliver on the cover.Unfortunately, the business scaled too quickly and Lisa nearly lost everything. She sold two properties and sunk the money into her business as bridging finance, which was never to be seen again. This would be so devastating for anyone, but what Lisa did next shows true grit and resilience. She has since then bounced back and relaunched the brand and it's now bigger, more profitable and sustainable than it ever was!Lisa is so authentic and transparent with sharing her experiences and learnings, not just in business but also in personal life. She's been through 16 rounds of failed IVF, but subsequently was given the ultimate gift of life from a friend through surrogacy.Lisa has now written 38 books and sold over 2.5 million copies and oh my god this woman is impressive!!@thelazyceo_podcast@lisamessenger Hosted on Acast.

Listen to part two of Lisa and Sarah's story here. Lisa Messenger always thought she'd be an entrepreneur, not a mother. But one day, after 15 years of running multiple businesses including publishing company The Messenger Group and later Collective Hub, Lisa decided it was time to try. But what happened next wasn't easy. Over 8 years, Lisa had 16 rounds of IVF and spent over $500,000 trying to conceive. She even came close to adopting. But it wasn't until her friend Sarah Megginson offered to help that she had a chance. And now, her baby is due in August… THE END BITS: With thanks to Lisa Messenger & Sarah Megginson.

When I see people with big communities begin to talk about the challenges that conception can carry, I feel a kinship. When Lisa began speaking about her fertility challenges, approximately 8 years in, I knew immediately I wanted to speak to her.Not for any other reason than that, I had to know how someone navigates what she has, runs a company, maintains relationships and seems to be relatively well. Having navigated my own experiences with conception and through supporting thousands through the podcast and hundreds through my coaching, I have a pretty fair idea of what it feels like to go through IVF and infertility at it's worst. In our conversation today Lisa shares that sparkly spirit that we all know and see through her social channels, but she also allows us to see the rawness of what she has navigated. From the lowest moments, big financial choices, pregnancy loss and everything in between.Somehow she manages to share the realities of HER story, while also bring lightness, hope and an unwavering resilience that I know we can all learn from. Lisa launched The Messenger Group in 2001, which has custom published more than 400 books for companies and individuals and now releases 40 – 60 products per year globally. Lisa has authored and co-authored more than 36 books and become an authority in the start-up scene.Her passion is to challenge individuals and corporations to change the way they think, take them out of their comfort zone and prove that there is more than one way to do anything.

It's Season Three - here we go, team. And we're kicking off with Lisa Messenger - a well-loved entrepreneur, best-selling author and international speaker who is all about empowering us to unleash our full potential.Lisa is also the founder and editor-in-chief of Collective Hub - which she launched in 2013 as a print mag in 37 countries. Lisa had no experience in the mag industry but almost overnight Collective Hub became a global sensation. It went nuts!But it grew too big, too fast, and, as Lisa explains, she had to make the tough call to “break” the very thing she had started - and pivot her brand towards something far more sustainable and successful. From her home in Texas, Lisa talks about life, resilience, how to find your purpose, why she gave up drinking, the best tips for starting your own business, and why public speaking used to be her greatest fear until she created her own unconventional way to zap those nerves.BONUS: Because we love you, we want you to enjoy a 20% discount when you purchase Lisa's new "Start Up to Scale Up" book.

Lisa Messenger has lived a full range of entrepreneurial emotions – the ups and downs over the course of being in business for over 21 years.

This is actually all in her book, “Start Up to Scale Up,” which makes a great graduation gift or if you simply want to give somebody something that will help spark up an idea within them.

About Lisa Messenger Lisa Messenger is the vibrant, game-changing founder, CEO, and editor-in-chief of Collective Hub. She launched Collective Hub as a print magazine in 2013, with no experience in an industry that people said was either dead or dying. Collective Hub has since grown into an international multimedia business and lifestyle platform with multiple verticals across print, digital, events, and education – all of which serve to ignite human potential. Five years and 52 issues into the print magazine Lisa made the courageous move to “break” the very thing that she started – the print magazine – enabling her to take some time and space to evolve into the next iteration and again disrupt this space. Her passion is to challenge individuals and corporations to get out of their comfort zones, find their purpose, change the way they think, and prove there's more than one way to do anything. She encourages creativity, innovation, and an entrepreneurial spirit, and lives life to the absolute max. Most mornings, she wakes up and pinches herself at how incredible her life is, but is also acutely aware and honest about life's bumps and tumbles along the way. Highlights Humility: If you're new to the entrepreneurial space, stay humble but put little teeth into it. Don't be shy about growing your business and asking for guidance. Discovery: Spend time getting to know your customer avatars. Drill down into who they are, what they eat or shop, etc. Understand who your market is and who is not. Feedback: Get feedback or suggestions from the right people. Not only are you opening up to criticism, but that person might take your idea. Urgency: It's important to have a sense of urgency so you can bring your idea to the market faster and make it unique to who you are and let it show up authentically. Humor: A lot of people take themselves too seriously and business has got to be fun. It's got to be purpose-driven and you've got to be able to play. You have to go through life where you find the joy and the upside in things. Purpose: Have a sense of what your purpose is and what your why is. Root very deeply into that so when things get tough, you can go back to why you're doing this and be reminded of this. Otherwise, it's really easy to just go, Fail Fast: When you fail fast, then you can test things very quickly, especially in a market where everything is changing so fast. And if it doesn't work, you can just move on. People: Surround yourself with a great team. If you don't have the money, consider bartering or doing a collaboration. Finance: Think about the financials – a lot! You need to understand things like cash flow, profit and loss, how to read a balance sheet, and just the fundamentals. Otherwise, you can have cash flow issues very quickly. Ideas: No idea is a new idea. It's how you synthesize it, what you bring to it, and what your unique take on something is. Don't be too protective because your ideas already happened in some way, shape, or form. Competition: There will be copycats. Focus on the next thing you can do so you can stay ahead of the curve. Creativity: Learn from other sectors and other people in other cultures and countries as to how they do things. Leverage: Build relationships with the right people who can open the right doors and have already built the networks and can help to fast-track everything. Ask: If you're very specific about what you need, it is much much easier for people to help you.

Like many of us, Katherine first entered the entrepreneurial space as a follower of the traditional “digital marketing guru”. But there was a big problem – the methods they taught were NOT made for introverts. That led Katherine to burnout… she wound up walking away from her business for three years until it hit her: to be successful, she had to do it on her own terms. Listen now! Can't-Miss Moments From This Episode:MythBusters, entrepreneur edition: Can you be animated and have a YouTube channel (or a podcast?) and still call yourself an introvert?

Not a trick question… have you even thought about what success looks like, for YOU specifically? Today I'm issuing you an Official Challenge™ to define it for yourself, societal expectations be damned. Stop giving me your power: what most people get totally wrong when they hire a coach to help them out (hint: if you're looking for hand-holding and a step-by-step formula for success, here's why you're setting yourself up for disappointment) A surprising business lesson from “Big Brother”… Katherine shares what separated the thriving contestants from those who fell apart — do you know which one are you in your biz? Polished social media presence or real-deal messy human? Katherine and I weigh in on which is more effective for your life (and your business)This one is jam-packed full of advice. Don't miss out - listen now!Katherine's Bio:Katherine Mackenzie-Smith is a business coach and strategist for introverts and highly sensitive souls, an ideas alchemist, energy and soul medicine practitioner, and host of the popular League of Extraordinary Introverts podcast. Through her 1:1 mentoring, Emerge and Expand business membership, speaking and writing, Katherine supports quiet leaders to create successful, sustainable businesses through their own innate wisdom and strengths, without feeling like they have to change who they are.

In this special episode I sit down with Lisa Messenger, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Collective Hub, Collective Retreat, and Collective Hub Kids. Lisa shares with us why it took her 11 years of having her own business to find and step into her purpose and all the good that transpired once she said, YES! She shares with us why closing her magazine in 2018, after 54 issues, in 37 countries, was an incredibly painful experience, but also the best and bravest thing she ever did. What it was like spending time with people like Richard Branson, Jamie Oliver, and why Editor-in-Chief of Vogue and Global Chief Content Officer for Condé Nast, Anna Wintour, asked her for a meeting in New York! How she managed to break and then remake her brand by creating over 60 books, journals, affirmation cards, etc., in the past 18 months sold over 4 million products, and why expanding her brand to the US is her next brilliant move!

Lisa and I reconnected at Hayman Island recently and talked about sharing the power of our experience as serial entrepreneur's because people dream of being an entrepreneur and never make it happen. I ask Lisa: 1) Why this path vs a steady income in corporate? 2) When you have a big idea how do you activate it? 3) I always believe the idea needs to have purpose or it doesn't have legs. What do you think? 4) So you have the idea, but your not too sure went to launch - this is the tough part - I knew I wanted to launch another business 3 years before I did it. It was about divine timing for me and trusting my gut instinct. Do you need a plan? 5) Community is a great way to grow advocacy for a business idea - I do this through coffee dates and storytelling. How do you build your community to deliver impact? 6) When you launch as we both know its not game over - what are the next powerful steps You can follow Lisa @lisamessenger on Instagram or get to know her and the incredible gifts she shares via https://collectivehub.com/about-lisa-messenger/ You can follow Tory @powerfulsteps or join a powerful program www.powerful-steps.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode, I invite Lorraine Murphy back onto the podcast to talk about a central theme of her new book, Step Into You, which is energy management. Needing to create her own 'soft place to land' to go on her own deep healing journey and get clear on what she wanted to create in her life, Lorraine's latest book is about that very journey and how she went about finding a more sustainable way to do business and life by really learning how to manage her energy. We talk about: - Lorraine's own perspective on what energy is and why learning to manage our energy over our time is important - The importance of creating a bespoke energy management plan and giving ourselves permission to follow it - Energy management filtered through both motherhood and a more feminine lens - The impact of using major and minor energy boosts for both major and minor energy leaks - The issues with trying to 'balance ' our lives - What it really looks like to be in alignment and be intentional about how can support ourself best - And what Lorraine came to understand about working with the mind and body and ourselves as unique energy beings, whilst we worked together at her Noosa retreat in 2021. If you've been feeling into (I am) The Remedy, then this conversation is going to be a beautiful opportunity for you to connect in with where your own energy is currently at and how you can step into yourself and your own medicine in a deeper way.

In this solo episode we discuss All or Nothing thinking, why do we do it and how can we improve? What if you replace OR with AND? What is the difference between cognitive distortion and cognitive dissonance? We also discuss one of my favorite underrated topics in the personal growth world: tilting! According to this article from The Collective Hub tilting is "about being aware of the changing pressures of life and being flexible while also rejecting the idea that everything needs to be perfectly balanced every single minute of every day and that anything less is a failure." ALL or NOTHING holds so many of us back from reaching our goals, because baby steps in the right direction are still going to get you there but you have to believe they will! Even when you're mentor on IG is sprinting her marathon, your baby steps are still IMPORTANT!

Lisa Messenger is the founder and CEO of Collective Hub, an inspiring multimedia platform that exists to help people unleash their full potential. Between 2013 and 2017 Collective Hub grew it's print magazine from scratch to 50+ issues that were distributed in 37 countries. But, as a creative entrepreneur, Lisa had to make some big decisions about Collective Hub's future in 2017 & 2018 that lead to a pivot and much smaller team. Lisa's 2018 book, Risk and Resilience, details blow-by-blow her experience in scaling down her offline magazine business after realising it had grown too quickly and unsustainably. This interview covers Lisa's growth story as well as her scaling-down experience. Learning from other leaders' challenges can yield the greatest insights, and there's plenty of gold in this episode.
