Thinking about joining my Build Your Online Audience Programme? Want to know if it's right for you and your business? If you've been considering joining then listen and discover why now is the best time to join my Build Your Online Audience programme.   You probably have questions like:   What's new in the Build Your Online Audience programme for 2021?  Will I need to pay for any other courses or memberships? What kind of results can I expect if I join the programme (and how quickly?) What exactly is included in the programme and how does it work? Is the programme suitable for a business/brand like mine? What happens if I can't do everything in the programme? Maybe you're wondering how much time you will need to devote to the Build Your Online Audience programme, whether it's suitable for your type (or stage) of business. Hint: It's suitable for any business that needs to build an audience of followers, fans and subscribers. Plus you can find out why my Get it Done sessions are so powerful for results and accountability.   {Click on the player above to listen to the podcast episode and/or read on for a detailed overview. Scroll down to the bottom to read the show notes including all the links mentioned in this episode.} While it's tempting to start with the features of the programme, I know what you're really interested in is the potential transformation i.e. what kind of results can you expect if you join.  1. What kind of results can you expect if you join the Build Your Online Audience programme?  As with anything in life you get out what you put in but here's what some members have achieved:  ✔️ Leadership coach Blaire Palmer generated £42k in sales from one class (Science of Audience Building) Achieved within 90 days.  ✔️ Canva expert Gemma Cormack took her income from £240 a month to £3950.00 per month. She has also added 2k new Instagram followers after completing my Instagram Success Academy course. Achieved within 90 days. ✔️ Fashion consultant Trisha Sakhlecha, used our Get It Done accountability sessions to create a sequence of emails that helped her generate five coaching enquiries and three sales. Achieved within 90 days.  ✔️ Victoria Rose launched a podcast (using the podcasting course), increased her Instagram following by 180% and generated almost £1800 in sales  Achieved within 90 days  ✔️ Claire Gleave launched her Activewear company Natal Active and generated £6.5k in her first month of business (she predicted £1.2k). Also added 2k Instagram followers  But it's not all about money and audience... ✔️ Charlotte Foster a podcaster is taking Christmas off for the first time ever and she puts this down to my Get It Done sessions (more below) ✔️ Sally Farrant worked her way through the programme and nailed her niche. Find out how this helped her build her online audience and her business in this podcast episode   2. Why do you need to build an online audience? You don't NEED to build an online audience. If you're getting enough leads/sales online - and/or you only need a small number of clients each year and you can get them via your existing contacts - you don't need to do anything.  But if you want to sell one-to-many i.e. you want to sell your products/services in the hundreds and thousands. And you don't want to have to do personal outreach for every sale,  you need an online audience.  To put this into context, the average conversion rate for online sales is just 1-2%. Which means for every hundred people in your audience, only a handful will buy. So if you're looking to sell at scale i.e. products, online courses, membership...you need a much bigger audience than you think you do.     3. How much does it cost to join the Build Your Online Audience programme?  There are two levels to the programme: Standard and Premium with the choice of a quarterly payment plan: Standard Build Your Online Audience £997 Premium Janet Murray Experience (including 2022Sorted and my 2022 Social media Diary) £1097 * If you're listening before Jan 4 - can grab a discounted offer for 2020. *Prices correct at time of publishing December 2020   4. What exactly IS the Build Your Online Audience programme? The Build Your Online Audience programme is the only dedicated membership programme aimed at helping you build an online audience i.e. more fans, followers and subscribers.  Because the more of the right kind of people you have in the audience, the easier it will be for you to make online sales.  Key topics covered are:  ✔️ Social media marketing: Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram ✔️ Content planning and creation ✔️ Content strategy (blogging, podcasting, video marketing) ✔️ Email marketing (including how to create a lead magnet and build your email list).  We also focus on the mindset part of building your audience, with weekly group coaching sessions on relevant topics including: money mindset, productivity, motivation, goal-setting, planning and prioritisation and self-confidence. New for 2021Get It DoneGet It WrittenOsmaan Sharif 5. What is included in the Build Your Online Audience programme?  The  standard Build Your Online Audience programme  takes you through the exact steps you need to take to build your online audience - from getting clear on your niche (the all-important first step) to getting more followers on social media, building a loyal following for your blog/vlog, podcast (if you have one) and building your email list.  SESSION 1: Nail your niche  Find the right niche for your business (or refine the one you have) so you can become the market leader.  SESSION 2: Developing your brand voice  Create brand voice guidelines for your business so you never get stuck on what to say about your business (and how to say it).

Do you struggle to price your services? Or maybe you live in dread of having THAT conversation about pricing? Maybe you've discounted your prices just to win a client and ended up feeling REALLY resentful?  Or perhaps you're wondering if you should put your prices on your website? If any of that sounds familiar then you'll love this podcast episode with pricing accountant Sally Farrant. Sally shares practical tips about setting your prices and why being clear on your pricing upfront - can save you tons of time later on. And why you need to focus on the transformation you offer and not just the price. Find out why offering fewer products makes it easier to create content and make sure you're showing up for the right audience. Discover what people really mean when they say they ‘can't afford you' And how to avoid falling in the trap of dropping your prices JUST to win a new client. PLUS how to put your prices up with existing clients without it turning into an awkward conversation (and why you should put your prices up every year). You'll learn how to deal with with the nightmare of scope creep and why having package prices will help you avoid sticky situations with clients.

On this episode I interview Osmaan Sharif, owner of Rapid Transformation and host of The Get Out Your Way Podcast. In his own words; Osmaan saw the ‘light' (in a really non ‘woo-woo' way) & quit his corporate job to start his own business back in 2007 to help people get better results, by changing the way they think, feel & act. Osmaan works with people; helping them 'Get out of their own way'. He finds himself doing this on a daily basis; helping people to challenge some of their thoughts and overcome some of their fears. Since launching his own business in 2007 he's helped hundreds of small to medium sized business owner's transition from the corporate world thinking and being an employee, to thinking and behaving like an entrepreneur. As a coach, Osmaan talks passionately about using tools & techniques from the world of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) & Wealth Dynamics to help people get unstuck. Osmaan took the decision to launch his own podcast in May (2018) this year on the back of clients and friends asking him if he was going to have his own podcast! 19 episodes in and Osmaan has developed a core following amongst business owners and people wanting to 'Get out their way'. Some final words of wisdom from Osmaan; "Honour your own self and your super power. Understand it, discover it and truly embrace it."

Do you feel like you could get SO much more done if you just could settle down and focus ONE thing.  And it's not just about the little everyday distractions, like social media, email, and text messages.  Sometimes you get distracted by the BIG things - like opportunities/projects that take you away from the core focus of your business. If this sounds familiar, you'll love this podcast episode with productivity expert Mike Vardy. In it, he talks about how to deal with distractions in your business. He also shares his unique approach to productivity - time crafting - and how this can help you do more in less time.  {Click on the player above to listen to the podcast episode and/or read on for a detailed overview.

Does your relationship with money hold you back in business? Perhaps you struggle with pricing your goods or services or you're too quick to discount. Or you always undercharge because you feel guilty charging the full price? If this resonates with you then you'll love this podcast episode with financial coach and planner and host of the podcast 'In her Financial Shoes' Catherine Morgan. It's a deep dive into how money mindset issues can really hold you back from growing your audience and building your business. Find out how those little phrases from your childhood like ‘money doesn't grow on trees' and deep-rooted beliefs and preconceptions that have been passed down the generations (even if they're not true!) can really affect your relationship with money. Catherine reveals the three most common types of relationship people have with money. Find out what type you are and how this impacts how you show up in business. Discover why people get so addicted to taking courses and why over-giving is really common in online entrepreneurs. And what prevents some people from spending ANY money in their business. PLUS what this means for the content that you create in your business. Catherine shares two steps that you can take right now - to start understanding your relationship with money - and how you can take your mindset from scarcity to abundance. {Click on the player above to listen to the podcast episode and/or read on for a detailed overview.

Hands up...I'm not the most organised person in the world. But I AM insanely productive - publishing hundreds of podcasts, blogs and social media posts every year - and rarely missing a deadline.  My recent ADHD diagnosis made me question how I'd managed to stay so productive - despite being disorganised.  If you haven't heard of it before, that stands of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) - a disorder that affects the functioning of the brain and includes symptoms such as inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. Problems with memory, forgetfulness, organisation.  And it made me realise I'd actually developed coping strategies to stay productive - which I share with you in this episode.  They're actually really good strategies that can help anyone who struggles to get things done (which we all do at times). {Click on the player above to listen to the podcast episode and/or read on for a detailed overview. Scroll down to the bottom to read the show notes including all the links mentioned in this episode} Here are five things that help me stay productive.  Time blocking. I keep my mornings free and don't do any external meetings/teaching/coaching until midday. As I get up at 5 am, this means I can often get around six hours of solid work in before lunchtime.  Repetition. If you've ever tried to quit smoking or lose weight, you'll know that changing bad habits can be tough. The same goes for good habits. Which is why, if you can get into the habit of doing good things every day, these habits can be as difficult to break as having a cigarette or a chocolate bar after every meal.  This is why I do the same thing at the same time every day. For example:  Sending a Daily Email to my list at/around 7 am Posting on Instagram every day around 7.30 am  Publishing a podcast [add hyperlink] every Friday Experts believe it can take as little as 21 days to adopt a new habit. So if you can get into the habit of posting your blog post on a particular day and/or planning your social media posts at a particular time each week, this can be really powerful for your productivity.  90-day planning. I plan my content in 90-day cycles - around the products/services I'm launching in my business. Which also means I can plan my content to coincide with key launches in my business.  For example, this month (July 2020) I've launched a Pinterest course in my membership programme Build Your Online Audience. Knowing it was coming up, meant I could schedule a relevant week of content ahead of the launch, including a podcast on getting started with Pinterest , a cool messenger bot quiz on whether Pinterest is right for your business and tons of relevant social media posts.   Public accountability. I make my plans public e.g. writing a daily email, publishing a podcast episode every Friday - which means I can't back out Body Doubling. This is a term used to partnering with others to get specific tasks done. For example, I've recently started using a fab tool called Focusmate a virtual co-working tool that allows you to work, side-by-side, with a partner, remotely - over video - in structured 50-minute sessions.  However, I'm hyper-aware that some people might find working with strangers of the internet kind of awkward. So this week I'm trialling my own ‘Get It Done' sessions for members of my Build Your Online Audience programme.    Podcast shownotes How I use time blocking to stay productive (6:43) How I produce three pieces of great work by midday (8:22) Why you need a good chunk of time at a time of day that works for you (10:20) How repetition and creating good habits can help productivity (11:10) Habits that I have in my business to get things done (12:30) Why consistent habits will build your online audience (15:22) How 90-day content planning will make you more productive (16:37) How planning ahead will help you focus on peak points in your business (17:48) How public accountability will help you be more productive (23:10) How body doubling can help you increase your output  (24:50) How Focusmate helps with accountability and productivity (26:40) Get it Done sessions in Build Your Audience programme (30:02) Resources Focusmate Sign up for my Daily Email Janetmurray.co.uk/podcastfinder Join my Build Your Online Audience Programme and get access to my NEW Pinterest course Other podcast episodes [Bonus] How I discovered my ADHD superpower (podcast) [374] How to create a year's worth of content in one morning (podcast) [390] How to stop overthinking your content (podcast) [393] How to create engaging content when you only sell one product or service (podcast) [406] Mindset problems that can slow your audience growth with Osmaan Sharif (podcast) [409] How to use Pinterest to grow your online audience with Kate Beavis (podcast) Connect with me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD. At the grand old age of 45. If you haven't heard of it before, that stands of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) - a disorder that affects the functioning of the brain and includes symptoms such as inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. I've found it uncharacteristically difficult to talk/write about, but I'm sharing it here in the hope it might be of help (even just as a reminder that everyone has their ‘things' to deal with). In this special podcast episode, I share the story of how I discovered I had ADHD and why I believe it's my secret superpower as an entrepreneur. {Click on the player above to listen to the podcast episode and/or read on for a detailed overview. Scroll down to the bottom to read the show notes including all the links mentioned in this episode} By the time you get to the end of this post, there's a good chance you'll be thinking one of three things (or maybe all three). But I do those things too But you don't seem the slightest bit ‘hyperactive' Janet ADHD isn't real...it's just your personality type So, to put it into context...yes we all do some of the things I share with you here sometimes. What makes the difference with ADHD is (a) the frequency with which the symptoms occur (b) the extent to which it affects your life. It's also worth mentioning that ADHD shows up differently in different people….particularly in girls and women (which is why it's often missed). For example, the hyperactivity and/or restlessness can be mental rather than physical (as in my case). And while educational/professional achievement in people with ADHD is often lower, it can show up in high achievers too. In fact the ability to 'hyperfocus' - to zone in on a particular area of interest and block out everything else - can be EXACTLY the thing that helps you to become a high achiever (another reason why ADHD can get missed). I always felt there was something a bit ‘different' about how my brain worked - but like many people - I associated ADHD with hyperactive teenage boys, so never imagined I could have it. Then I stumbled across an article about women and ADHD and thought…'oh my God, that's ME.' I spent the next year or so reading and researching, which is what, eventually, led to me getting tested and getting a diagnosis. My ADHD symptoms To put my symptoms into context, here are some of the questions I've grappled with pretty much all of my life

In his own words; Osmaan saw the ‘light’ (in a really non ‘woo-woo’ way) & quit his corporate job to start his own business back in 2007 to  help people get better results, by changing the way they think, feel & act.

On this episode I interview Alison Jones; business book publisher and podcast host with something to say. Her podcast, the Extraordinary Business Book Club has over 100 episodes for listening to check out. Alison works in publishing and partners business people 'who have something to say'. Having been in publishing for over 25 years she knows what she's talking about. At one point Alison grew frustrated with the publishing industry and was about to quit. She trained as a coach and developed a 'side hustle' working with people in a coaching capacity. As soon as they found out she was a publisher, all they wanted to do was then publish a book! Part of what drives Alison is helping people to develop their business through writing and publishing a book. Providing those people with something to say, a platform for there message. Driven by (personal) embarrassment. Alison set about writing and publishing her own book. In March 2018 she became author of the book; This Book Means Business; Clever ways to plan and write a book that works harder for your business. If you're a business owner and you're producing content, it's worth writing a book as the process itself will provide you with content. It can be a great way of 'putting you out there'. If you've got a great idea for a business book but you're not sure where to start, then take a look at Alison's 10 day Business Book Proposal Challenge. I can recommend this, having completed it twice! Some final words of wisdom from Alison; Be careful because you never know who you're inspiring.

We all do it. We all compare ourselves to others and sabotage ourselves in the process. Your aim in life should be to be the very best version of yourself. So why do we all consistently compare ourselves against others? Why do we look at people who are 3, 5 or even 10 years ahead of us in business and in life and get completely dejected that ‘we’re not there yet’ or that we pale in comparison. That’s like comparing yourself with Richard Branson and his current empire worth billions, instead of the Richard Branson in college trying to make a magazine come to life and getting loans from his Mum. You will always come up ridiculously short. And that’s just a game for losers to play, and you’re a winner, so I suggest you stop that now. You can’t even begin to know what’s behind their journey, what it took for them to get to where they are now. But you can learn from them, and emulate the great things they do, so long as you don’t try to measure up against them. Nothing compares to you. You just focus on being your best self. It doesn’t help that we’re constantly bombarded with ‘overnight success’ stories and internet millionaires making money in their sleep. I know it can seem like everybody is doing better at everything than you. But they’re not. In fact often it’s far from the truth, they’re just good at marketing or spinning out the right stuff. I’d like you to stop this destructive habit and instead concentrate on where you’re at and what you’ve achieved. That's why in this podcast I've brought in the heavies, well the heavyweight expert in getting rid of limiting beliefs, stopping your comparison-itis syndrome and shifting your mindset. My friend Osmaan Sharif is a Performance Coach at Rapid Transformation and he specializes in unlocking your entrepreneurial superpowers and transforming your mindset blocks. Since Season 5 of Quest for Freedom is all about Mindset Freedom I decided to bring him on to discuss how we can make 2018 our best year ever by doing one thing. Working on our 'inner game'.  We discuss how to stop comparing yourself to others, why that's destructive and two things you can do instead to focus on being your best self.

This is a fantastic time of the year to bringing you Season 5 of the Quest for Freedom Podcast on Mindset Freedom. Why is that? Well it’s typically the time when you’re winding down for the holiday season and also planning ahead to think about 2018 and why it’s going to be different. But it’s not going to be different until you’re prepared to start working on the very thing that can make the most significant difference to your life. I’m talking about your mindset. That’s because your mindset can set you free. Mindset is the foundation that freedom in its widest possible sense comes from. You are the product of your mind. Every thought and belief you have stored inside your mind shapes your experience of life. Your values and beliefs shape your perception of reality and as a result your ability to achieve anything in life. I’ve found that over the years, when I am not focusing on a growth mindset, when I’m not actively learning and applying new techniques to grow my mindset, to become more focused, to get rid of those negative thoughts, those comparison game moments, things don’t go quite as well. And it feels less free in my mind. For me personally, this year has been a roller coaster in terms of reshaping and reframing my identity from Suitcase Entrepreneur to Natalie Sisson. I’ve been through a business sabbatical, a complete 180-degree shift and a complete change in what I am doing and how that fits into my meaning in life and my purpose. For you, you may too also have had quite a full on year, or perhaps you’ve been really focusing in on what it is within your mind that you can strengthen. Or what it is that you can quiet so that it makes way for more of those thoughts that allow you to be your best possible self and give you freedom in your mind. We’ve all been there. We’ve had the mind tells us things we don’t really need to hear. Our mindset can be our best comrade or it can be our worst enemy and so much of that is under our control. I think about that every single time I’m faced with a big decision or a reaction to something. Most of the time I’d like to think I’m pretty calm, but I am also a passionate Aries and every so often something will just piss me off and my emotions will well up and I’ll react in an instant. So I probably need to go back and revisit some of the mindfulness freedom from Season 1, Mind Your Mindfulness and recommend you do too. Making decisions in the moment of how we think, of how we act, of how we grow, of how we fundamentally believe is all part of having the right mindset. The Definition of Mindset The mindset definition varies across different sources according to Dictionary it is “1. an attitude, disposition, or mood.” or “2. an intention or inclination.” and “1. a mental attitude or inclination” or “2. a fixed state of mind”. Yet none of these actually yield the true meaning and real definition of what it is. So what is the true meaning? A more accurate definition of mindset is the sum of the way you think. Mindset is how your values and beliefs shape your thoughts and lead you to be the way you are. The way you think and feel, the way your thoughts lead you to act and behave causes the results you experience in the world. If you have thoughts which are negative or limited then you will experience challenges and likely find success and freedom almost impossible to achieve. If you are into people like Tony Robbins, into personal development and self-help books, you’ll come across a lot of these tactics and tools. You’ll look into your neuro-linguistic programming, regression timeline and EFT (emotional freedom technique).  I’ve only touched on a few of these myself throughout my life. There’s other tactics like meditation, mindfulness, transcendental meditation, looking at your chakras and all these exciting things like brain waves and binaural beats. It’s incredible how much information is out there. If we come back to the fundamental message here, which is "the way you think and feel, the way your thoughts lead you to act and behave causes the results you experience in the world", you can start to see pretty quickly that anytime you are having a bad day, it’s most likely because of the way that you are thinking and then acting. So how can you change state, how can you get yourself out of that to get back on track and into a frame of mind that serves you best? Sometimes it’s good to be angry, sometimes it’s good to be emotional but if you can channel that into something that really helps you, serve you and helps others then we are talking about reframing and using your mindset for the power of good or even greatness. And we want to move out of a fixed mindset, negative or a limited mindset into a growth mindset. I have talked about this research from Carol Dweck in Learning with a Growth Mindset. But what I am most excited about is that I am bringing on a special guest, Osmaan Sharif who is my freedom mindset go-to guy. I’ve had him attend three of my last freedom mastermind retreats in Bali and Portugal and he honestly has the most amazing set of tools to be able to help people shift their mindsets in minutes. He is the founder of Rapid Transformation and he can transform people quite rapidly if they are open to it and if they are willing. We are going to cover off on some really fantastic topics including comparison-itis - how your mindset can be negatively impact with those you look up to could you be attempting to solve the wrong problem when it’s really our mindset needs to be transformed negative stories - what are we telling ourselves and how is that impacting or limiting our beliefs when you are really not in control and that the unconscious mind is and how we can tap into that.

As we head into 2017, it's the time of year where you want to shake things up, shift your mindset and start off the New Year with a bang. December is the perfect time to stop, reflect, and make changes for the coming year based on what you've found did and didn't work in 2016. You also want to look at setting meaningful goals that you will actually achieve and there's no better way to do this, then to look at what you set for yourself this year - and whether you hit those or fell short. An important part of this, which goes beyond creating a "wish list" for 2017, is a deep dive into looking at the beliefs that you hold, that guide your actions and then, consider which ones may have been holding you back this whole time. What stories have been telling yourself that are no longer serving your purpose? For me, with the new website, new systems, and my upcoming business sabbatical, it's actually helped me clean up over 6 years of business files, products, plans and processes, as well some of my beliefs. It has been like a spring clean for my entire business and I thought it was the perfect time to bring in my friend, Osmaan Sharif, to discuss some super helpful and actionable ways for you to do the same, and to set your foundations for 2017 right now! In this episode, Osmaan and I discuss how to shift your mindset and beliefs for success, and how to get to the bottom of anything holding you back from having the business and life you KNOW you're meant to have. In this episode you'll learn: How to make sure you have a solid foundation in place and what you can do about this if you don't How to use your entrepreneurial superpower to be in flow and doing the work that you love How to identify outdated, toxic goals, strained and stretched goals 5 quick self reflection questions that you can ask yourself to shake things up Subscribe: iTunes | Android | RSS [ctt template="1" link="1Pf4X" via="no" ]Are you ready to shift your beliefs for 2017? #mindset #2017goals http://suitcaseentrepreneur.com/296[/ctt] Key Resources I mention or add value to this podcast: Take Osmaan's Foundations Test here (you can also download the ‘Let Go of your Limiting Beliefs’ workbook for free) Listen and learn in this interview with Osmaan about Wealth Dynamics and discovering your Entrepreneurial Superpower Get 13 Rapid Video tips to help you grow your business in 2017 Plan Your Ideal Year in 2 hours of Less with My Workshop Want reliable hosting for your blog and website at 50% off?
