What if the reason your Instagram isn't growing isn't the algorithm, but your strategy? Brock Johnson has helped over 50,000 entrepreneurs grow on Instagram, and in this episode, he breaks down why most people struggle to make progress. It's not about chasing the latest reel trend or stressing over every update—it's about focusing on what actually drives growth and conversions. We dig into the three-step growth formula that works across all platforms, why DMs are Instagram's most powerful (and underused) sales tool, and how to use “trial reels” to test content without spamming your audience. Brock also shares why follower count is becoming less important and what the shift toward AI and short-form video means for the future of social media. If you're a business owner who's tired of burning time and energy on social with no results, this episode will give you the blueprint for building an audience that actually buys.

Last week, I found myself interviewing Cath Kidston in front of 50 creative entrepreneurs, and whilst I could tell you all about her incredible journey, what's more valuable is understanding how I came to be on that stage in the first place. The truth is, you cannot build a creative business in isolation. Behind every successful creative entrepreneur I know is a network of genuine relationships that have amplified their voice and opened doors to opportunities they never could have created alone.

Episode 159: Grab the Ultimate Ad Script right HERE - https://join.digitaltrailblazer.com/ultimate-ad-scriptOne of the biggest challenges facing online business owners is the dreaded feast and famine cycle - periods where your business is thriving and fully booked, followed by devastating lulls with empty calendars and dwindling income. This happens because most entrepreneurs fall into the trap of either hustling hard to fill their pipeline OR focusing entirely on serving clients, but never doing both consistently.In this episode, sales expert Justine Beauregard teaches us how to create steady, predictable revenue by implementing systems that work in the background while you serve clients. She reveals her RAIN framework for creating three types of content that speak to prospects at different stages - from those ready to purchase today to those just becoming aware they have a problem. Justine also shares how to differentiate yourself in saturated markets by focusing on unique results rather than reinventing methods, and explains why showing up consistently often matters more than being the "best" option available.About Justine Beauregard: An entrepreneur all her life, Justine got her start hosting puppet shows in her backyard for $5 a ticket.As host of the top 5% entrepreneurship podcast People Over Profit, writer for Entrepreneur.com, and an award-winning sales strategist since 2007, Justine loves teaching others how to sell more naturally, without feeling pushy or ‘salesy.'She's known for helping entrepreneurs generate more consistent, predictable income in a repeatable way, moving from feast and famine to freedom.Check Out Justine's Virtual Speed Networking group: http://monthlyspeednetworking.com/Connect with Justine:Website: https://www.justinebeauregard.com/ Podcast: https://www.justinebeauregard.com/podcast Instagram: https://instagram.com/justinebeauregardcoach LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justinejbeauregardFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/JustineBeauregardCoachGrab the Ultimate Ad Script right HERE - https://join.digitaltrailblazer.com/ultimate-ad-script✅ Connect With Us:Website - https://DigitalTrailblazer.comFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/digitaltrailblazerTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@digitaltrailblazerTwitter: https://twitter.com/DgtlTrailblazerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/DigitalTrailblazer

Influencer marketing isn't just a trend, it's becoming the main event. In this episode, Fohr CEO James Nord explains why brands must stop treating it as a bolt-on and start building around it. From authenticity myths to smarter metrics, Nord outlines the mindset shift needed to win in the new marketing era.

What I've discovered about creative entrepreneurs who are thriving is fascinating. They're quietly stepping away from doing things like everyone else and building businesses that actually work for them. This isn't just about being different for the sake of it; it's about recognising what you're naturally brilliant at and having the courage to build everything around that foundation. In this episode, I share real examples of creative entrepreneurs who've broken industry "rules" and seen remarkable results. From the textile artist who stopped trying to do everything and focused entirely on commercial installations, to the food photographer who specialised in capturing the story behind family recipes - each found success by asking one simple question: "What am I naturally better at than most people?" This quiet revolution is creating businesses that are more distinctive, more profitable, and infinitely more energising for their owners. When you structure your business around your authentic strengths rather than industry expectations, everything transforms, your confidence, your marketing, your client relationships, and yes, your income.   Key Moments: [05:42] The rebellion against "best practices" and why following everyone else's approach might be limiting your potential.  [07:01] Why the old rules don't serve creative entrepreneurs and the interior designer who transformed her business by recognising her hidden strength [09:55] The question that changes everything: "What am I naturally better at than most people?" [11:05] Building your business like architecture: structuring everything around your natural advantage [13:21] The energy revolution that happens when you work with your natural current instead of against it [15:20] Permission granted - why you don't need anyone's approval to build your business differently [16:34] The compound effect of individual shifts creating positive change across the creative economy [17:30] Your next move: Your own quiet revolution   Notable Quotes: "What feels effortless to you is often extraordinary to others. Your 'common sense' is actually accumulated wisdom and natural intuition that others lack." "The creative entrepreneurs who are building something truly distinctive aren't following the crowd, they're following their strengths."   Resources Mentioned: Direct link: The Base Notes handbook Read: This Week's  Full Journal Post Subscribe to our Weekly newsletter Website: www.philippacraddock.com Email: news@philippacraddock.com    Share Your Insights: What's one area of your business where you've been following someone else's approach instead of trusting your own instincts?

Give Inspector Randle a hand! In just a few months time, he's grown his business to 6 figures in revenue after striking out on his own. And he created a massive Inspector social media trend along the way! We're stoked to have him on the show to talk all about the transition from working for a company to starting an independent business, and the rapid growth he's experienced. We also explore the challenges and successes of building a brand online, maintaining professional relationships, and navigating the complexities of non-compete agreements. The discussion highlights the importance of authenticity and creativity in marketing, as well as the evolving landscape of the inspection industry. We also get into the differences between new construction and older home inspections, the challenges of scheduling and booking inspections, and personal preferences in the types of services they offer. So, if you're looking to make a move and get out on your own as an inspector (or if you're starting out and wondering if a franchise, joining a team, or going solo is right for you) then you'll want to watch! Follow Inspector Randle on social media  @Inspector_Randle   The TLDR: The importance of social media in building a personal brand. Transitioning from a company to independent business can be daunting but rewarding. Rapid growth in business can occur with the right marketing strategies. Maintaining good relationships with previous employers is crucial. Navigating non-compete agreements requires understanding your unique situation. Authenticity in content creation resonates with audiences. The inspection industry is evolving with new marketing techniques. Creativity can lead to unique business opportunities. Building a following before starting a business can lead to immediate success. It's essential to focus on services you enjoy and excel at. New construction inspections differ significantly from older ones. Booking inspections can be challenging due to high demand. Personal preferences influence the types of inspections offered. Social media has become a crucial marketing tool for inspectors. Work-life balance is essential for long-term satisfaction. Foundation evaluations can be time-consuming and require proper compensation. Inspectors should charge for ancillary services to ensure fair pay. Finding a unique voice on social media can attract more clients. Maintaining a manageable workload is key to avoiding burnout. Experimenting with different services can help identify what works best.   The Links: Sign up for Inspection Fuel happening this Sept. 8-10 in NOLA: https://inspection fuel.com/register Sign up for our newsletter so you don't miss a single episode: https://pages.theridealong.show/newsletter

Running a creative business can feel remarkably isolating. While friends and family are wonderfully supportive, they don't always understand the specific challenges of pricing creative work, the vulnerability of putting your designs into the world, or the constant balance between creativity and commerce.

In this episode of Hustle Inspires Hustle, Alex Quin sits down with freelance graphic designer Ian Deloney to talk about his shift from working at Iconic to building his own design business. They explore the importance of combining creativity with solid business practices, the challenges of freelancing, and the power of long-term relationship building. Ian shares insights on client management, staying organized, and what it really takes to work with top-tier brands like Jägermeister and Target. This conversation offers valuable lessons for creatives who want to move beyond talent and build a sustainable, professional business.Episode Outline [00:00:00] Intro by Alex Quin – Introducing Ian Deloney [00:01:30] Catching up: Last meeting, shoutouts, mutual connections [00:03:45] Ian's exit from Iconic, launching his freelance design business [00:06:10] Ian's background in photography and creative roots [00:10:30] Transitioning from hobby to career: Finding the right major [00:13:00] The role of business knowledge in Ian's creative work [00:16:00] Alex's experience with content creation and its value in advertising [00:19:30] Ian's proudest recent projects: Jägermeister, SEEK, Kids Super [00:25:00] The impact of seeing work in real-life spaces like Target and billboards [00:28:00] The challenge of freelancing and staying flexible [00:31:45] The importance of relationship building over time [00:35:15] Client needs vs. creative vision: Putting ego aside [00:38:20] Key lessons from running your own business [00:42:00] Building infrastructure before going solo [00:47:00] Post-payment process: Staying organized and professional [00:51:10] Being dependable, not just talented [00:55:30] Common pitfalls among creatives [01:00:20] Final advice and mindset shift for freelancers [01:03:15] Ian's social handles and closing thoughtsWisdom NuggetsTalent Isn't Enough: Business Skills Matter : Many creatives over-focus on their art and neglect the importance of being organized and professional. Running a freelance business successfully requires business sense, clear communication, and client understanding—more than just good design.Don't Wait—Plant Seeds Early : Ian emphasizes that most of his current success comes from relationships and efforts made years ago. Creatives should build connections before they need them, not when they're desperate for work.Systems Before Sales: Prep for What Happens After 'Yes' : Freelancers often focus on winning projects but overlook what comes next. Having onboarding systems, case studies, and pitch materials ready improves credibility and client trust.Ego Kills Collaboration : Letting go of creative ego is key. Just because it's your favorite design doesn't mean it's right for the client. The best creatives learn to listen, adapt, and prioritize results over personal preference.Be a Joy to Work With : Reliability, speed, and professionalism can set you apart more than creativity alone. Clients want someone who respects their time, delivers on promises, and makes the process smooth.Power Quotes:"Case studies—even the small ones—are gold.” - Alex Quin"You have to be able to put your ego aside and do what's best for the client.” - Ian DeloneyConnect With Ian :Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/iandeloney/)Linkedin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/iandeloney/)Connect With the Podcast Host Alex Quin:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/alexquin)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/mralexquin)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mralexquin)Website: (https://alexquin.com)TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@mralexquin)Our CommunityInstagram:(https://www.instagram.com/hustleinspireshustle)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/HustleInspires)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/company/hustle-inspires-hustle)Website: (https://hustleinspireshustle.com)*This page may contain affiliate links or sponsored content.
