#534: How to turn comments and replies into hot leads - Tash Corbin, Heart-Centred Business Podcast

Full article and links available at: tashcorbin.com/534 If someone comments on your posts or replies to your emails, do you know how to turn that engagement into a real conversation—and maybe even a hot lead? If not, this episode of the Heart-Centred Business Podcast is absolutely for you. I saw just how many people were struggling with this at a Virtual Conference earlier this year, and I ended up coming up with a little framework on the fly that’s already helping people turn casual chatter into actual leads. Let’s get into how to nurture those relationships and spot the folks who are ready to work with you! Why Most People Miss Hot Leads in Their Replies You’ve probably heard the advice: reply to every comment on your socials. Most people know that. But what surprised me was how many people, when they get a comment like, “This was really helpful,” just respond with “Thanks so much” or drop an emoji. That’s it. No further conversation, and sometimes, a complete dead end. The awkwardness comes because people don’t know what to say—or worry it’ll feel too salesy, too soon. What’s worse? When you do reply like that, you’re actually closing down a conversation you could be opening up. Plenty of business owners told me they just felt stuck, not knowing how to keep the chat going without feeling awkward or pushy. So, at Virtual Conference , I made up a simple structure on the spot. Since then, people have reported turning commenters into leads using that exact outline. And that’s what this episode is all about. ...read the full article at: tashcorbin.com/534 Let me know your thoughts via our Text FanMail!

#533: Business ideas I almost started over the years - Tash Corbin, Heart-Centred Business Podcast

Full article and links available at: tashcorbin.com/533 Today on the Heart-Centred Business Podcast , I’m doing something a little different—and a whole lot of fun! I want to take you on a journey through the last 15 years of my entrepreneurial life, sharing all the business ideas I nearly started, but didn’t… and most importantly, what I do with those ideas, what I learned from them, and how my overflowing “idea brain” actually helps my business and my clients. If you’re anything like me—a creative thinker and entrepreneur—you’ll know the feeling. You see a problem you could solve, spot a gap in the market, and BOOM: your brain won’t let go until you’ve mapped out the whole business! But having lots of ideas doesn’t mean you have to act on all of them. Let’s dig into what I do with those sparks, why I leave some for others, and why I never want to shut down that part of myself. Why I’m Obsessed With Business Ideas First things first… I have A LOT of business ideas. It’s just how my brain works! If I notice something missing in the market, or a way to do things better, my mind instantly starts planning out a new business. What would I call it? Who would it serve? What services or products would it offer? I can go from zero to mapped-out-business in a matter of minutes. Over the last 15 years, I’ve had dozens (honestly, probably hundreds) of business ideas that caught my fancy—some of them got a little momentum, others remained in the “daydream” stage. Today, I’ve rounded up 18 for you. I’ll share where they got to, why I didn’t start them, and the lessons along the way. ...read the full article at: tashcorbin.com/533 Let me know your thoughts via our Text FanMail!

#532: Optimism: Naïve or competitive advantage? - Tash Corbin, Heart-Centred Business Podcast

Full article and links available at: tashcorbin.com/532 Today’s episode of the Heart-Centred Business Podcast might feel a little left of centre for a business show, but I promise—this conversation is powerful, and I’m bringing it right back to business results by the end. If you’re feeling low on optimism about the world, your future, your business, or even your community, first up, you’re absolutely not alone. But what if I told you that optimism, especially in chaotic times, is actually a competitive advantage? Let’s go deeper into why optimism isn’t just wishful thinking—and how to harness it, even when the world feels like, well, a bit of a bin fire. Why the World Feels Like It’s in Decline Let’s start with the obvious: everything feels a little out of control right now. There’s chaos, there’s uncertainty. If you belong to a marginalised community or you’re not one of those billionaires in politicians’ pockets, it’s probably even harder to feel optimistic about your own future, let alone the future of your community or the planet. If I asked a crowd “Is the world getting better or worse?” I’d bet a huge chunk would say “worse.” That belief is so common, it has a name: declinism. This isn’t just pessimism—the opposite of optimism—it’s the assumption that the whole world is declining. Here’s the kicker: even self-identified optimists can still believe the world is on a downward spiral. All the “evidence” we see seems to back that up. But the truth? Both things are happening at once. There are areas getting worse, and others improving. It’s hard to even agree on basic facts as a group, so when it comes to something as massive as “the state of the world,” there’s no single answer. ...read the full article at: tashcorbin.com/532 Let me know your thoughts via our Text FanMail!

#531: The 2012 social media strategy to stop following - Tash Corbin, Heart-Centred Business Podcast

Full article and links available at: tashcorbin.com/531 This one’s going to be blunt and to the point. I want to talk about a 2012-era social media strategy that way too many people are still following—and why it’s time to let it go. I’ll share the backstory, the pitfalls, what to do instead, and how this simple shift could seriously change the game for your business. Old School Social Media Advice We Just Need to Ditch I can’t believe I still hear this advice: meet your audience “where they’re at”—which apparently means you should be on every single social platform. If some of your people are on TikTok, you’ve got to be there; others are on Instagram, there too; Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube... You “should” be everywhere. This social media strategy came from the early days of online business—think 2011 and 2012. Gary Vee’s book, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook (with all its punchy analogies!), was all about the idea of creating lots of platform-specific content, nudging and niggling your audience along until you hit them with your offer. Back then, Gary Vee was everywhere—posting custom content to every platform, and encouraging everyone else to do the same. And if you were around in the early days, you’ll remember the “golden age” of social media: Facebook and Twitter feeds were chronological, there were ZERO algorithms, and your posts had a good chance of actually being seen. During that time, posting three times a day on your Facebook page was the recommendation! Some people kept up, but most of us stuck to one post a day. You’d share those posts to groups, invite your email list to check them out, and people would see your stuff—even if you only had a handful of followers. ...read the full article at: tashcorbin.com/531 Let me know your thoughts via our Text FanMail!

#530: What if you don't believe your affirmations? - Tash Corbin, Heart-Centred Business Podcast

Full article and links available at: tashcorbin.com/530 Have you ever tried to use affirmations in your business only to run into a brick wall—your own brain telling you, “That’s not true”? You’re not alone. In this episode of the Heart-Centred Business Podcast , I’m sharing my real experiences (including my struggles) with affirmations, along with practical ways to make them work for you, even if you don't believe them right now. My Early Struggles With Affirmations I’ll be honest—I’ve definitely experienced times when I don't believe my affirmations, especially when what I’m trying to affirm feels really far from my current reality. When I first started my business, for example, I told a mindset coach, “I just feel like I’m not organised enough to be a business owner.” She told me to repeat out loud, “I am so organised. I am such an organised person. My business runs like clockwork,” and so on. No matter what version we tried, my brain just kept shouting, “No you’re not!” Every time I said it, either out loud or in front of the mirror, my mind argued back. So Many Affirmations, So Many Arguments I’ve been in business since 2013, and there have always been some affirmations that stick and some that just spark an argument in my head because I don't believe them. The idea behind affirmations is that if you repeat something enough, your brain will eventually build a neural pathway to match. Sometimes that’s true. But other times, standing in front of the mirror gritting my teeth and repeating affirmations I don’t believe just creates a sense of dissonance instead of momentum toward my goals. But I actually celebrate when I find that gap—the space where affirmations feel really tough or impossible, and I don't believe them. The affirmations we struggle with the most often give us clues about the core mindset blocks or self-sabotage we most need to address. ...read the full article at: tashcorbin.com/530 Let me know your thoughts via our Text FanMail!

#529: Do I need more "Main Character Energy"? - Tash Corbin, Heart-Centred Business Podcast

Full article and links available at: tashcorbin.com/529 Today's episode of the Heart-Centred Business Podcast started as a reply to a question I received after episode 507 —the one where I talked about niching and said, "Stop making it about yourself, you're not the main character." After that, someone messaged me asking, "But Tash, don’t I actually need a bit of main character energy in my business? Shouldn’t I be stepping more into the spotlight?" I loved that question so much, I knew we had to dig into it. So let’s talk about what main character energy really is in business, and where you absolutely should—and shouldn't—lean into it. When Should You Embrace Main Character Energy? You might be surprised to hear me say this, but: absolutely yes, I want you to embrace main character energy. I want you to step into the spotlight, as often and as proudly as possible… when it comes to your story. Let me explain. In episode 507 , I talked about niching and why it's not about you. When you’re making decisions about your niche , your messaging, and your sales pages, it needs to focus on your ideal client. You are the guide, not the main character of that story. Your audience—the people you serve—are the heroes. But that doesn’t mean everything in your business is about them and you somehow disappear. Quite the opposite. ...read the full article at: tashcorbin.com/529 Let me know your thoughts via our Text FanMail! Join us in Noosa at the Heart-Centred Business Conference on 2-3rd September!

#528: The slow and subtle social media shift (that's speeding up) - Tash Corbin, Heart-Centred Business Podcast

Full article and links available at: tashcorbin.com/528 Let me start this episode by saying: I’m not 100% sure everyone’s going to love what I have to say, but this is an important topic if you want to make informed decisions for your business moving forward. We need to talk about a slow but subtle shift I’ve seen happening on social media—one that’s really starting to speed up. I promise, this won’t be as vague as it sounds. If you’re trying to grow an audience on social media, feeling frustrated by slowing audience growth, or thinking about how you might need to shift your strategy, then you’ll want to stick with me for this one. The Ever-Changing Social Media Landscape Change is a constant in our lives, but nowhere is that more clear than in the world of social media. The landscape for business owners is always shifting: new trends, algorithm updates, platform tweaks—those changes come at us fast. Sometimes things like links are suddenly deprioritised or new features like reels take over. But running beneath those fast shifts is something slower, subtler, and it’s really starting to pick up pace. What’s the social media shift? It’s the very real shortening timeframe between signing up for a platform and the point when you “need” to spend real money on ads to get seen. And honestly, I know a lot of you aren’t going to love that. ...read the full article at: tashcorbin.com/528 Let me know your thoughts via our Text FanMail!

#527: Are you Bootstrapping or Sabotaging? - Tash Corbin, Heart-Centred Business Podcast

Full article and show notes available at: tashcorbin.com/527 Have you ever had a friend, client, or maybe even a family member come to you with what they see as a completely unsolvable business problem, and you can clearly see the answer staring them in the face? Or maybe, you’ve had that moment yourself? That’s exactly how I felt recently, and it inspired this episode of the Heart-Centred Business Podcast . I want to talk about self-sacrifice, bootstrapping, making do—and how those habits might actually be huge mindset blocks in disguise that are sabotaging you. The Facebook Post That Sparked Everything This conversation started when I posted a question on my Facebook page: "If you had all the money you needed, would you still run your business? And if so, what would you do differently?" The responses were fascinating, and some even turned into deeper conversations in DMs, client sessions, and emails. I want to shout out a big thank you to everyone who jumped into that conversation—you’ve given me so much food for thought (fabulous fodder, as I like to say) for this episode. From all those comments and conversations, three things really stood out to me... Read the full article at: tashcorbin.com/527 Let me know your thoughts via our Text FanMail!

#526: What to do when you're overwhelmed by all the things - Tash Corbin, Heart-Centred Business Podcast

Full article and show notes available at: tashcorbin.com/526 Join the GYM! tashcorbin.com/gym Before we dive into the heart of this week’s episode, I want to touch quickly on last week’s Heart-Centred Business Podcast. I know it was a departure from my usual vibe—let’s just say, it was a bit less nurturing, less gentle, and probably a lot more direct than you’re used to from me. I apologised for the tone back then, but not the message, and I still stand by that! Was I premenstrual? Maybe. Did I just finish a late-night netball session with a hyped-up pack of 12-year-olds? Absolutely. My voice was on the way out. I was, I admit, a little bit in a mood. The thing is, sometimes when Aunty Tash lets loose, it’s for good reason—the rant and the message are always sent with love, even if they don’t sound all that loving in the moment. So, if life has you feeling frazzled and overwhelmed, or you’re running wild on the hamster wheel, I hope that last week’s episode at least sparked a little fire. We’re all just trying to navigate this wild “fire Horse year” and maybe you needed a push to do something about it. This week, it’s all about being overwhelmed—if you’re still feeling like you’re drowning in all the things (maybe it was the world, maybe it was the Lego you stepped on this morning—who knows!), I think today’s episode is exactly what you need. Today, I’m diving into what to do when you're overwhelmed and it feels like it’s taking over. Why Overwhelm Feels So Debilitating Let’s be real: I don’t need to explain what overwhelm feels like. You know it! It sneaks into every part of your life. I’ve felt it myself, especially over the last few weeks. So let’s cut to the chase: what do you actually DO when overwhelm is running the show and it feels like your brain is slowly shutting down because, frankly, the sheer volume of everything is just too much? ...read the full article at: tashcorbin.com/526 Join the GYM! tashcorbin.com/gym Let me know your thoughts via our Text FanMail!

#525: Be honest: Are you on the Hamster wheel? - Tash Corbin, Heart-Centred Business Podcast

Full article and show notes available at: tashcorbin.com/525 Now more than ever, when I ask people how they are, the one answer I keep hearing is, “I’m busy.” There’s too much to do, not enough time, and this year is getting away from so many of us. But here’s the thing—not every job or task is created equal. If you’re caught up in busyness that’s not actually moving you forward, you’re on a treadmill. You’re on the hamster wheel. And today on the Heart-Centred Business Podcast , I’m getting really honest about what it looks like to be stuck on that wheel, how you can tell if you’re doing it, and—most importantly—what you can do about it. What Does Being “Busy” Really Mean Anyway? Let’s talk about all the “busy” work we end up doing as business owners. There are SO many tasks that feel repetitive: thinking time, learning, content creation, tidying up, updating, strategising, making decisions, redoing plans—the list goes on. Progress doesn’t always look pretty, and it rarely happens in a vacuum. It can be genuinely tricky to know if what you’re doing is helping or if you’re just running on the spot. So, how can you tell if all those busy days and weeks are actually taking you somewhere, or if you’re just spinning your wheels? For me, it comes down to results—especially income. That doesn’t mean my results or income have to be going up all the time, but I’m always keeping an eye on one big thing: am I getting closer to my vision for the life and business I want? Progress for me isn’t measured by effort or how busy I look. It’s about real results. Are things actually improving? Are my actions making a difference? Or would these results have happened even if I’d done nothing? You’ve got to stop regularly and take stock, not just coast along. ...read the full article at: tashcorbin.com/525 Let me know your thoughts via our Text FanMail!
