Ready To Be Heard with Chantelle Dyson

Today's episode is all about starting a podcast. Whilst you can pick up your phone, record an episode and get it all uploaded to Buzzsprout (or any other podcast host) within a few moments, sometimes we can get in our own way. Plus, there's ways to leverage this launch and use it to your advantage. So with "starting a podcast" being on SO many people's lists, I'm shar...

I didn’t know it before this year, but until recently, I’d been playing it small in my business.  When I first jumped across from teaching to business, I was thinking about hourly rates, what would cover my working, and adopting a self-employed model, working from my previous experiences as a freelancer in theatre.  But over the past 2 years, I’ve realised that if you’re building a business, your...

WRONG.  Despite the excitement and adventure of pursuing this new, flexible lifestyle, where I w...

When I first started marketing my life coaching business through content, getting views was *everything* and going viral was IT.  And it didn’t t...

This week, I had a moment of doubt creep in. As somebody that is inherently optimistic, positive and energetic, this is an infrequent experience for me. The toll of business however, can get the better of me and it reminds me of the human being that I am, and how it can't always feel breezy and that even with bouts of resilience and positivity, there will be moments of doubt. In this episode,...

Starting a podcast is one of the biggest moves you can make in your business to increase your visibility and get known for what you do.  But if you don’t have this ONE thing sorted behind your podcast, it’ll fall flat, you’ll lose momentum and you won’t show up like you need to in order to make your podcast a success.  If you’re looking to build authority and be seen as the expert in your industry...
