This is this week's affirmation/reminder. It is a quote by the founder of Collective Hub, Lisa Messenger. Enjoy!!!♥️ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nadia-blair/message

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.  Follow their journey here at Mummy At Last  Feedback? We're listening!

What a thrill! In today's episode I spend 26 minutes with the incredible Lisa Messenger, our keynote speaker from the Simply Business Summit. After recording this episode, I can truthfully say her presentation is going to be even more brilliant than I could have imagined.  This episode has a few stellar truth bombs that sound like this: “I'd spent so many years over servicing, undercharging and being everything to everyone. The reason that something finally worked wasn't that I was the smartest person in the room or that I actually knew what I was doing... It was because I got my mindset into gear. I learned how to have unwavering self belief.”  “Everything was stacked against me. What was in my favour—and what I'll share with everyone attending your amazing Summit—is learning that when we can tap into our purpose and our passion and what's driving us, the end result is extraordinary.” "People see success or the ‘perceived success' of others and think ‘I'm not good enough' or ‘I don't know what I'm doing'. Well here's the secret: None of us actually know what we're doing. I'm an 11 or 12-year ‘overnight success'.” “What I'd love to talk about at Summit is recognising what our strengths are. For example, I'm a great founder. I'm not necessarily a great CEO. We need to learn how to surround ourselves with people who are going to support us in whatever it is we're trying to create. This is really important in business and as we grow in life.” “Particularly when we're starting out in business, it's important to remember there are more currencies than cash. If you can't afford the extra help you need… what skills can you share or exchange with another business owner instead of exchanging cash? This is a way that we can feel supported, lean into our own strengths and get help without having to pay physical dollars until we're able to.” Talk about speaking my language!  Lisa is real, raw, authentic and vulnerable in sharing all of her stories of her 22+ years in business in a way that can help other women in business like you and I. Whether you're just getting started or are 5+ years in, I guarantee you'll walk away from hearing her speak (either on my podcast or in person at Summit!) feeling invigorated and inspired.  If you're free from June 21 - 23 there are just 8 tickets left to join us in person at Simply Business Summit in Byron Bay and I'd absolutely LOVE you to be one of the 30 women in the room with us.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

This is episode 174. We are going to talk about imposter syndrome especially amongst moms in business. At this point in my coaching career, I want to ensure that I am bringing my superpower of an explosive imagination to my ideal clients and through the grace of God and the fortitude with which I've been writing my book the answer that I've heard whispered in my ear over and over has been moms…specifically moms with businesses. So I've decided and made a declaration that I am officially on a mission to empower, embolden, and encourage 1-million-plus moms with a business in the next five years. Now in the words of Oprah, what would be the absolute best next possible step when you have an idea? In my case, it has been to talk to moms with businesses. I've begun to do this and something came up just this week that I want to address for you my listeners. It's the signs that imposter syndrome is hurting your income and why this needs to stop especially amongst moms in business, these are three I've heard and that it would honestly be selfish of me to withhold from you. -delayed invoicing…permission to invoice -not negotiating with your voice…needing an alter ego -purchasing productivity systems rather than saying NO The consequences include: -debt -high blood pressure -massive anxiety In my book called Life After Blowouts: Every Mom's Guide To Go From Imagination To Impact I featured a podcast guest Lisa Messenger who turned around her own imposter syndrome into an asset – do you have a copy YET of my free chapter?

The key to Lisa's turnaround has been MASSIVE SELF-AWARENESS….and in that chapter I revealed and have become self-aware myself that I've personally battled with imposter syndrome myself back when I was not yet a mom here is what happened to me or I did to myself that I also decided to share in my book -Copywriter assignment -Tribeca paving the ground -Never turned it in Answer these questions yourself to uncover whether imposter syndrome is holding you back: -Have I ever avoided raising my rates because I didn't think I was credentialed enough? -Have I ever avoid charging someone full price because I feared that they would think I'm too full of myself? -Have you ever had to psyche yourself into calling yourself another name or being a guy because the woman you are is too mousy or something negative? -Have you ever taken on more responsibilities and just assumed you needed to get better at productivity? -Someone toggling motherhood and entrepreneurship at the same pace as your competitors had to work to keep your spot in the market? If you answered YES to any of these questions then I want to invite YOU today to make a decision that can change your life for the better if you just trust me…. I want to hear your story I want to know what you are struggling with I want to understand how imposter syndrome has taken away your money, opportunities, time, networking moments, and joy especially in the last few years Do this by DM-ing today @melissallarena https://www.instagram.com/melissallarena/ I want to be sure that anyone who is listening to this week's episode has an opportunity to speak with me if you or someone you know has ever left imposter syndrome stop them from entrepreneurial success and that's triple if you are a mom.

REVIEWS: For moms like me, the pandemic was an opportunity to re-evaluate and course-correct things in our lives we weren't thrilled with. Coming out of this period, sluggish yet motivated, so many of us can use this book to help us wake up! If you're looking to refresh, reenergize, and yes, reimagine a better version of your life, this book is for you. I loved the hilarious, yet poignant stories about motherhood today and the window into the world of those who've gone for it – and did it. - Macollvie Neel, Brooklyn, NY This chapter is about getting in touch with your creative, playful, imaginative side. The part of yourself that perhaps felt freer before you became a parent, before you chose your identity and had a lot of responsibilities weighing you down. In helping you get in touch with your more playful, creative self, it not only helps you on a path toward greater happiness and fulfillment, but it also helps you to feel more fulfilled as a parent. – Mom/PR The words: imagination, play and fun are not the usual things we as mothers think of when wondering how to get a grip back on our career and I believe it provides a really fresh take and lots of food for thought for mothers reading it. I think that the tone is so energetic and fresh that it is why I would pick it up. – Latina Mom/Positive Psychology Coach Melissa is a mom of three with big dreams who tells it like it is. She draws on her own experiences and the experiences of professionals she's interviewed for her podcast to reflect on the plight of the mother. How do women conform to or challenge the traditional “mom script”? If you're a mom, what can you do to break the “cultural glass ceiling” to be yourself and a great parent, all without having to force yourself into a mom mold that doesn't fit you? Melissa is like a great friend, honest and wise and funny, telling you about her life and asking you to reflect on yours. This book is a great purchase for moms in every stage of life. – Aspiring Novelist, Librarian, Mom To Two Kiddos In her book, Melissa shows us that motherhood does not have to be a pause or an end of your pre-child self. With guidance from her podcast guests, she encourages us to think big, find what lights us up, think big, and move towards our goals with the steps that fit the reality of our lives as they are today. In doing so we honor and inspire our child(ren), and our own inner child. – Single Mom To A 12-Year Old Boy

What an incredible story Lisa Messenger and her bestie Sarah Megginson share - one that initially started with heartache, where Lisa tried for a baby for 8 years and did 16 unsuccessful rounds of IVF, then becoming a magical story where during a discussion about Lisa's struggles, Sarah offered the most selfless thing a person could offer - to carry Lisa's baby for her! With Sarah now nearly 6 months pregnant, she and Lisa share in today's episode everything that we're curious to know - the process of surrogacy, how it all came about, how it feels being pregnant with someone else's baby, and what Lisa is going to tell her unborn son when he's older. Their friendship and pregnancy journey truly is something special, and you can follow it all on their shared Instagram page @mummyatlast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The first baby born through IVF was in 1978 and since then the treatment has dramatically changed how the family unit can look. It has also given same sex couples more options when it comes to creating a family as well as solo parents, challenging the image of a nuclear family. Technology surrounding IVF is continuing to advance but there are still many common misconceptions and questions surrounding the process - from costs to how long it takes.   In this episode, entrepreneur and author Lisa Messenger shares her personal IVF experience.

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.  In this episode, Lisa covered quite a bit, including the idea of finding your purpose, knowing why you're going into business, how to fail fast, and how to assemble and work with a team even if you can't pay them at first, and finally, the numbers that matter. 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.

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.  If you enjoyed this conversation, check out these episodes with similar themes: Mompreneur (Former Management Consultant) Kim Peirce of Babe Australia Shares How to Strategize, Implement, and Win Big in the Retail Space, Episode 122 David Meltzer Is On The Path To Empowering Over 1 Billion People To Be Happy Using The Exact Same Three Values That He Learned From His Mom, Episode 61 Links to continue to learn from: Website: https://shop.collectivehub.com/ (Use the discount code Melissa20 for 20% off on Lisa's website.)

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 Messenger is the vibrant, game-changing founder and CEO of Collective Hub. She launched Collective Hub as a print magazine in 2013 with no experience in an industry that people said is 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 more recently, co-working spaces – all of which serve to ignite human potential. 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.
