THE PODCAST with Annelise Worn

How do you get it all done? I get asked this a lot from those close to me. If you don’t know me, my life looks a bit like this.  Agency CEO. Business Coach.  Homeschooling mum of 4.  Wife.  On 4 Boards / Committees.  Exercise 6 days a week. House in order (mostly). Etc etc etc. You get the picture.  I’m fiercely believe that you get to have it all. That there is a path to you living the life you w...

When we’re impatient in business, we can fix the wrong problem.  We can … Pull the pin too early. Add services and dilute our results. Move based on surface emotions. Neglect the natural cycles. Over complicate everything. Without deep introspection, we can move at the wrong pace. Or for the wrong reasons. Or in the wrong direction.  Tune into this episode of The Podcast for my take on Impatience,...

We all want freedom. The ability to choose how we spend our time. A schedule not dictated to by others. The financial security and availability to jump into experiences that light us up. But what does that actually look like? How do we create it? No matter where you are in business … Whether it’s a dream, a side hustle or a full time gig - we can feel stuck at any level. The best news is, for a fr...

That niggle. That desire. That jealousy. That longing... it is calling you. Don’t ignore it. Don’t put it off. Life is too short. Live and play full out for those who can't. What do you want to experience?  Want do you have to give? What change do you want to make? You feel that way because those things are yours!  It’s your purpose. Your potential. So choose. Decide. Go after it. Here's h...

The reasons why people tell me they don’t want a team span from the effort of finding someone, to having to ‘manage people’. But the truth is, your business is bigger than you.  It’s virtually impossible to have the profit and freedom you likely dream of in your business without support.  This doesn’t mean you need a big team, but it also doesn’t mean you don’t. The size of your team doesn’t matte...

Fear is the answer.  Fear is keeping us safe - it’s keep us where we are - 95% of our decisions are made here.  Any decision that helps us grow, is taking us into the unknown.  Our brains resist that.  Our bodies give us the message loud and clear. But I believe you have that vision for a reason. That thing you want? It’s meant for you.  That fear? Lean into it.  More than that, fear is the answer...

What got you here wont get you there. True.  But how exactly then do we move past this? What got us here is our skills, our decisions, and our actions.  95% of our actions are unconscious.  Driven by our mind. Out Operating System if you will.  So how do we ‘rewire’ our minds to get different actions that ensure different outcomes? By being intentional.  Intentional about our Input.  Intentional a...

Mindset over mechanics. Do the work. It’s not what you’re doing, it’s who you’re being. What the heck does any of that even mean? In this episode of the Mumstyle Business Podcast we’re getting super practical. You’ll learn what mindset work really means, and leave with practical ideas on how you can implement in your own way. We also talk about the gap between DOING and BEING, and how most people...

As a society, we’re chronically distracted. If you work online, I’d bet even more so. We’ve got emails, notifications and DMs coming at us from all directions. We’re hyper connected. We think about connection as being a positive thing. And it is. But too much of anything is not good. We need rhythm. Cycles. Inhale and exhale. Connection, and solitude. Thinking and implementation. Mindset and strat...

It’s easy for our grip on reality to get a little warped when we’re bombarded with social highlight reels and have instant access to …everything. We can forget that sustainable and profitable businesses are not built overnight, or a month, or a maybe even year. We can get frustrated seeing ‘overnight’ success stories. We can compare ourselves. Get discouraged. And even, quit. If you’ve felt like j...

Guilty of scrolling. And scrolling. Feeling worse about yourself. Second guessing everything you’re doing in your business. Yep, I’ve been there too. Until I realised that this was the equivalent of setting my business goals on fire. Then I put a plan in place. A 4 step strategy to leverage the incredible gift of being automatically connected to millions of people - yes I’m talking about social me...

The marketplace is CROWDED. Noisy. There are a lot of people all spouting the same advice as everyone else. Butttt it’s often not very good advice. Or it only works in a certain niches, or is certain stages of business. So in this week’s episode of the podcast, we’re talking 5 lesser talked about truth that can help you grow your business. We'll cover traditional working hours, social media, hirin...

The last 2 months have been a pressure cooker of change, ideas and Massive. Imperfect. Action. We launched the offer we've been cooking up all year (hello Freeceo !), hosted a TEDx event, and farewelled a bunch of longtime clients in order to make space for the new journey. I've had to draw on every lesson I've learnt in the last 6 years - and apply it. To truly own my CEO title and stand firm kno...

This season is about simplifying.   Questioning everything.  Nothing is safe.  Here's why we had a 2 month break - and what to expect from the podcast moving into 2023 and beyond.

Work smarter, not harder they say.  Great.  Sounds perfect.  But what the heck does that actually mean? Well in my world - it means knowing that marketing is the most important part of growing your business.  It means simplifying.  It means working on your business, not in your business.  Again - vague terms right? So let’s chat about the actual tactical things you ca...

Do you believe the saying, you get out what you put in? I do. But with a caveat.  You get the fruit of the seeds you plant.  And in business, this is usually a season later.  We see the fruit of our actions 90-120 days after we implement them. Questions that have been coming up in conversations over the past few weeks have been about investing in your business.  At the start of...

12 lessons from a decade in leadership Recently I’ve been asked to share my story.  Truthfully, I’ve felt uncomfortable doing that.  It felt self-indulgent.  So here, instead, well in alignment with - are 12 lessons I’ve learned along the way. This is the good, the bad, and the ugly of business. Coming at you real and raw, unfiltered in a live IG so I wouldn’t chicken out and hit de...

Often we minimise the importance of our offer.  More than being just your product - your offer is the cornerstone of your entire Business.  It determines who you work with, what you do, and what you get paid. It determines how you live your life.  Let me explain.  Your day-to-day life is determined by your actions. Your actions in your business are the work you do. Who you spen...

Harsh truth.  We choose how we feel. We decide what we let each interaction and each moment mean. We decide how those things affect our attitude, the words that come from our mouths, and the actions we take.  We are in charge of our energy, our reactions, and therefore our day.  Often we have this grandiose idea of what our ideal life will look like. We think we have to wait ’until’...

At the very foundation of all your marketing sits your branding. Unfortunately, branding in itself is misunderstood. Some think it's not important. Many think it's their logo and colours. The truth is, it's crucial to gaining and maintaining trust.  It's your brand personality, and my guest on the podcast today Jen Bowers likes to say it's what people say about your business when you're not i...
