Let's have a bit of fun! Answering the most Googled questions! Including: Am I A Millionaire? Does Money Really Buy Happiness? & How YOU Can make money fast in 2026 and beyond!

In this brand new YouTube and podcast episode, UK Business Coach Lisa Bean sits down to answer Google's most searched questions about business, marketing, sales, and success.

Expect honesty, straight lines, and zero fluff: why money can buy happiness (but only if you know your number), why you don't need money to start (you need time and grit), and why a tiny audience can still power a multiple six-figure business when you tell the truth and have an opinion.

Lisa also reframes "original ideas" ("you don't need one — you need a point of view"), explains who shouldn't start a business (and who absolutely must), and shares the quickest way to make money now: finish the product, put up the sales page, run the webinar, ask for the sale.

If you've ever wondered how to make money without a big audience, what stops entrepreneurs from reaching their goals, or why business coaching costs what it does — this episode is your roadmap to the truth behind the buzzwords in business and online sales!

â±ï¸ Timestamps & What You'll Learn

00:00 – 00:09 | What this episode covers
Answering the internet's most-googled questions about Lisa, business, marketing, and sales.

00:09 – 00:25 | Is Lisa a speaker?
"Yes — it's my dream to stand in front of thousands and change lives." (Something exciting is coming)

00:25 – 01:05 | Is Lisa an author?
First Sh!t Version took ten years; Am I Healing? is in progress. Purpose, change, and making a living doing what you love.

01:05 – 01:24 | SEO & ranking #1 for "business coach" (UK)
"I'm the queen of SEO. It's a huge revenue driver — worth the time."

01:24 – 02:00 | Millionaire mindset & fear
"Vibrationally, yes." Also: Lisa's real fear (medical procedures) and a nod to past serious illness — radical honesty included.

02:00 – 02:36 | Does money buy happiness?
Yes — up to your number. Clients say "enough to be happy" or "retire my partner." Lisa: What's the number? Clarity creates momentum.

02:36 – 03:34 | Too late to start?
No. Many successful founders start in their 40s. One purposeful day at 60 can change your reality.

03:34 – 04:27 | Do you need money to start?
No. Lisa started with £3k (gone in a month), then with nothing, then £100k in debt. You need time and work ethic. Use free trials, your phone, and go meet people.

04:27 – 05:22 | Do ideas need to be original?
No. You need an opinion. If you're purely transactional, you're replaceable. Market your nuance and prove it with clients.

05:22 – 06:08 | Is business for everyone?
No. If you're here for "work-life balance," don't do it. Early years = more hours than you're paid for. You build a business because not doing it feels terrible.

06:08 – 06:47 | Making money without a big audience
You can't make money without any audience — but it doesn't need to be big. Lisa's multiple six-figure education business runs with 2k IG followers and less than 2k on the list. Key: content + opinion + truth.

07:06 – 07:25 | Digital products
Fastest path to cash is 1:1. Build the product after results. Prove outcomes upfront.

07:25 – 08:07 | Make money fast (2026 mindset, applied now)
Finish the product. Is the sales page live? Run a webinar. Add value. Ask for the sale. Stop "selling without selling."

08:07 – 08:52 | Make money when you have none
If you're frozen by fear: get a job/freelance to cover basics. Then: finish one product, sell 1:1, network, build content, ask for the sale (webinars, masterclasses, discovery calls).

Competence is the result you get when you something hard, over and over, until (a) you learn how to get the hard result; and / or, (b) it becomes part of who you are.

Competence isn't an empty sales promise. It's an unshakable skill no-one can take from you and people want to buy from you!

Here's the truth:

No one's coming to your door to stop you making sales.
No one's blocking your progress.

Business rewards the entrepreneur who build this kind of competence by pushing themselves beyond what they know to be comfortable, by taking a risk, by practicing a new skill until they own it.

In this live talk, I share the raw, funny, and (often!) humbling stories that taught me the true meaning of competence, which became the foundation of every business I went on to build.

• What competence really means, and how you can become unshakable no matter what happens.
• The difference between knowledge and wisdom: How true thought leadership is born from lived experience, not theory.
• The role of repetition in mastery: The hidden power of showing up weekly, refining your craft, and building real evidence of skill.
• Why social media has sold you a lie: The myth of "easy business" and what it actually takes to build success from scratch.
• How to turn experience into leadership: Using your journey, insights, and failures to create value and impact in your industry.

"Competence comes from practising a skill that is difficult and getting so good at it that it doesn't matter what happens — you're still competent."

"You're not an entrepreneur until you're on the journey of developing competence."

"When you've lived it, you can speak the truth. That's what people feel – that's wisdom."

"Business isn't easy. You're making up an idea and trying to convince people to buy it. That's the hardest and most beautiful thing in the world."
