Ep 71: Build an epic tribe with Julie Creffield

Fancy your own aligned community filled with lovely, lovely humans? In this episode, I'm chatting with tribe-building expert Julie Creffield about how you can do just that. The key takeaways: People are people, whether they’re online or offline. Community at its core is about having a group of people with a shared vision – a shared sense of ownership. Entrepreneurs often go about this the wrong way – they think that by creating space for a community it’s going to happen. The tribe is no...

Sign-ups and sales can come to you effortlessly (really!). -------------------- Join me on Instagram he...

Ep 69: How not to get people to fall in love with you on social media

February 04, 2019 13:15 - 8 minutes - 10.7 MB

Want to make extra sure you're not being a d*ck online? Then this one's for you.  4 things that make you look like a dick on social media: Using your channel as a broadcasting platform and nothing more. Sending auto DMs. Promoting (and collaborating with brands) non-stop. Bringing the negativity. My fave quotes from this episode (highlight to share) Think about how to be human online, and not just an entity. The auto DM is DEVIL SPAWN. Don’t use negativity as a tool to get you n...

January 30, 2019 14:00 - 15 minutes - 13.8 MB

Want to know how I plan my workday without a planner? Or the Instagram Story secrets for when time is tight? Then listen on. The questions I dive into: What planner are you using this year?

What scheduler do you use for social media? The Instagram Story prompts: Film a short video talking about how bu...

Overwhelmed, stressed and frustrated with your content system? You're not alone. In this ep, I'm sharing 5 of the most common mistakes I see people make in their content plans, and how to fix them.

Failing to plan for the action Try this instead: Go back to basics and use a simple spreadshe...

Ep 65: When goals, plans and resolutions fill you with dread

January 09, 2019 14:00 - 8 minutes - 13.3 MB

This time of year is full of people sharing their New Year's resolutions, their big juicy goals, their words of the year... and all that stuff is great fun if you're a die-hard planner too. But if you're not, or you are but you're not quite feeling the planning buzz this year, that's ok too. You can turn it around, and still get the mojo and motivation that crazy cats like me get from a bit of goal-setting, and in this ep I'll be showing you how. If you don’t know what you want, here’s a ...

Here’s what we’re talking about: Do I ever feel like I’m losing my mind working from home? Do I still have a blog? (Spoiler alert – YES – it’s http://dairepaddy.com/blog) What’s my biggest regret from 2018? What am I reading at the moment (and what’s next on the list)? ...

Ep 63: What to do when your clients are away Christmassing

December 17, 2018 12:09 - 9 minutes - 14.7 MB

In this episode, I'm diving into a handful of my favourite things to do while my clients are away for the holidays... all of which also set me up for a killer year ahead, by the way. The task list (pick your poison): Do your tax return. Revolutionise your finance system. Declutter your office, give it a deep clean, and rejig whatever’s on the wall if it no longer inspires you. Put together your business strategy next year in a fun and leisurely fashion. Read the business and perso...

Ep 62: 3 commitments you'll thank yourself for this time next year

December 12, 2018 09:11 - 8 minutes - 13.3 MB

Recently I had the opportunity to spend a couple of days with a gaggle of inspiring and successful women - here are my big takeaways. Commitment #1: Growing a real tribe is essential. Having a tribe is so important. If they’re likeminded introverts who “get” the online business game, all the better. It could be a team thing like this was, it could be a mastermind group, or it could be a gang of biz buddies you’ve connected to online. Commitment #2: We all belong at the top of our own l...

Ep 61: 3000+ things to delete from your headspace today

December 02, 2018 17:24 - 10 minutes - 15 MB

Stop feeling like your digital (and mental) workspace is inundated with STUFF today. Things to declutter from your headspace: All of the login details for previous clients or even your old accounts from things. Everything in your downloads folder. If you didn’t open up or file the thing right away, what are the chance you’ll actually ever need to go back and find it? Dissatisfactory stationery. Any paper that tears too easily. Any pens that don’t write smoothly. Any post-its that don’...

Ep 60: Challenge yourself to a better brand, a better biz, a better YOU

November 28, 2018 16:30 - 13 minutes - 18.7 MB

Want to make a change in your work-world? This is how I do it. The key takeaways: Figure out exactly what change you want to make, and then find a way to hold yourself accountable. You could set an alarm on your phone. You could share your intention with the people in your life. You could create a recurring Asana task. You could block out time in your calendar. Just look for a way to keep yourself on track. A great option is to participate in a free challenge created by somebody who ins...

Ep 59: On surviving the humans when you work from home + 2 ways to create more joy

November 19, 2018 10:26 - 12 minutes - 18 MB

Introvert? Workaholic? This one's for you. On surviving the humans when you work from home: If you work from home, you need your solo time. If you also identify as an introvert, even more so. That’s ok. If you have someone there, invading your zen, it’s ok not to like it. It doesn’t mean you’re a terrible person or that you don’t love them. Figuring out a new routine that factors in another person is HARD. As with your clients, you’ve got to have rock solid boundaries with the people ...

Ep 58: [Q&A] Politics, repurposing and being spontaneous with your copy

November 14, 2018 13:00 - 20 minutes - 29.1 MB

The secrets to great content (and more). The key takeaways: Being organised and being entrepreneurial are not mutually exclusive. An entrepreneurial mind dreams the dreams, an organised mind makes the dreams happen. Ride the waves of inspiration if you can, but always be strategic. Talking politics is a great way to showcase your values and polarise your audience, but if that’s the way you want to go, you need to be prepared to deal with the keyboard warriors. The three things you N...

Ep 57: The benefits of planning, connection and creating daily content

November 05, 2018 14:11 - 13 minutes - 19.5 MB

Feel more excited in your business. The key takeaways: Planning as a group is an amazing way to amp up your enthusiasm. It gets your juices flowing, makes you look at things from a different perspective and creates momentum that you don’t get when you’re going solo. Batching is brilliant. My crazy plan for 2019 is to publish a blog post every single week, outside of these podcast show notes. I bet you’re thinking, “that doesn’t sound so crazy”, but the crazy part is that I’m intending t...

Ep 56: The ultimate blueprint for kickstarting your next killer month in business

October 29, 2018 12:17 - 19 minutes - 26.9 MB

The title says it all. The “bitching month” blueprint: Review your list of goals. Is there anything you can tick off? Anything that’s no longer relevant? Anything that needs tweaking? Take a look at your daily productivity process. Are you staying focused? How are you managing your tasks? Is there anything that seems to be falling through the gaps? Do you feel good as you work? Do you need a new app or project management system? Note down your struggles. Is there a skill you’re lackin...

Ep 55: Fix the morning funk and find your content priority

October 22, 2018 09:02 - 16 minutes - 22.4 MB

If you want to find your content priority and banish the "shoulds" for good, this one's for you. Tricks for getting out of the morning funk: Braindump everything in a journal. All of the thoughts whirling around your head. Follow that up with a list of things you’re grateful for and a list of the big goals you’re working towards. Declutter and deep clean your desk. Put something zesty in your essential oil diffuser – I like to start the day with 2 drops of lime, 2 drops of grapefruit ...

October 02, 2018 09:19 - 17 minutes - 23.4 MB

Struggle to focus on your biggest priorities? Yes? Then this one's for you. My 90 day planning system: Set some time aside on the Friday before the new quarter starts. If you just try to fit your planning around everyday tasks, it will fall to the bottom of your list. Review all of the different things in your business – your last 90 day plan, your current product portfolio/1:1 clients, new ideas you’ve had, your working habits, your finances (incoming and outgoing), what has and hasn’t...

Ep 53: Reconnecting with humans and simple sales page success

September 25, 2018 09:15 - 14 minutes - 20 MB

In this week's episode I'm addressing two struggles that so many self-employed types face: Isolation, and like you're cutting yourself off from humanity. Crafting the perfect sales page for your perfect offer The key takeaways: When things get busy and overwhelming, it’s so easy to retreat into yourself and break all the promises you’ve made with regards to your own business. If it happens, nobody will die, you’ll be fine, just recommit to your intentions tomorrow. That might mean stick...

The key takeaways: I go through phases of LOVING my morning routine, but after a ...

Ep 51: Thoughts on affiliate marketing, finding your slight edge and book club fun

September 07, 2018 11:41 - 18 minutes - 25.1 MB

The do's and don'ts of being an affiliate AND inspiration to make your life and biz a bit more lovely. The do’s and don’ts of affiliate marketing: If you throw nonsense at your people without much discernment, they’ll stop trusting your word… and then where will you be? Only promote the products that you would shout loud about even without the promise of a commission. Share the difference something has made to YOU, rather than trying to con people with shiny sales speak. Don’t avoid a...

September 05, 2018 12:45 - 32 minutes - 42.8 MB

Episode 50 is here and to celebrate I'm answering all of the wacky questions submitted by my online community. The questions I hit in this episode: What do you when people want to pick your brains (for free) and then credit their success to everyone but you? How do you deal with clients always tagging you in posts and expecting you to share everything? What would you tell 13-year-old Daire? What are your top three productivity hacks? How often should you raise your rates? If you...

August 28, 2018 08:54 - 17 minutes - 24.3 MB

I’m diving into one of the worst sales experiences OF MY LIFE (not being dramatic at all), a new personal mission of mine and a little bit of something worth celebrating. Because there’s *always* something worth celebrating. The key takeaways: There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with using sales scripts if that’s what you need to feel a bit more confident with selling. You cannot control other people’s reactions to your content (or to life in general). You can only control your own actio...

Ep 48: On balancing client biz and YOUR biz, the power of leaving heartfelt reviews and what to do when you can't define "the" goal

August 20, 2018 12:00 - 17 minutes - 24.2 MB

The key takeaways: The struggle often lies with balancing the time and energy you give to your clients and the time and energy you invest in growing your own business – especially if you work with other online business owners. My biggest tip is to calendarise the “your biz” time so you can keep that customer pipeline topped up. Make this work for you, but the way I do it is to have Fridays as a super-strict MY BUSINESS day and then commit to doing one small thing that will move my business ...

Are you letting the way you look hold you back from being visible in your business? This is for you.

Are you pursuing perfection or pursuing EXCELLENCE? In this episode, I'm chatting to coach for misfits Ebonie Allard about doing all things "your way".  The key takeaways: Starting a business often comes from wanting to set your own rules and listen to your body, and yourself – when you work, how you work, what you wear, what you eat… but to a certain extent you have to create structure in order to have the freedom.

True connection and having the right mindset are two things that can make ALL THE DIFFERENCE as you run your business.
