    55. The 3 Things That Stop You Hitting Send (And How To Push Through Them)

    You know what you should be doing. You've written the pitch. Edited it seventeen times. And it's still sitting in your drafts. The people getting those opportunities? They're not braver than you. They're not more qualified. They're just hitting send. In this episode: Thing 1: Imposter syndrome (and why everyone feels it)Thing 2: Perfectionism (there is no perfect pitch)Thing 3: Fear of rejection (what if they say YES?)The thing stopping you isn't that you're not ready. It's fear dressed up as logic. Think about one pitch you've been putting off. One email sitting in your drafts. And send it today. Not tomorrow. Not when it's perfect. Not when you feel braver. Today.

    54.Beyond The Algorithm: How To Use PR To Actually Grow Your Business

    Feeling stuck in your Instagram bubble? Exhausted from the content hamster wheel? You're not alone. I just looked at where my revenue actually came from this month so far. Only 20% was from Instagram and Meta ads. The rest came from everywhere else - PR, networking, referrals, workshops. We've put all our eggs in the Instagram basket. But what worked 5 years ago doesn't work anymore. The algorithm changes, your reach drops, and you're stuck talking to the same people over and over again. Here's what actually grows your business: Building authority beyond your own channels. Getting featured on podcasts. Being quoted in articles. Speaking at events. Reaching NEW audiences who've never heard of you before. Instagram is ONE channel. It shouldn't be your ONLY channel. In this episode: Why 99% of businesses are struggling with Instagram (it's not just you)Where my clients actually come from (the real data)How to break out of your bubble and reach new audiencesWhy authority beats audience size every timeStop putting all your eggs in the Instagram basket.
