 – When Your Business Has Grown—But Your Message Hasn’t

If you’ve ever felt like your message no longer quite fits your business—even though everything looks “successful” on the outside—this episode will resonate deeply.

In this conversation, Patrice Poltzer, creator of My Story Pro, explores a subtle but critical shift that happens as businesses grow: the story that once built your momentum may no longer carry your leadership.

In the early stages, your founder story is often everything. It’s personal, relatable, and powerful. It helps people connect with you in a crowded market. But as your business evolves—growing in team, complexity, and impact—that same story can start to feel incomplete.

Not wrong. Just… outdated.

Patrice introduces the idea of moving from a founder-led story to a mission-driven story. One that still honours where you began, but expands to reflect what you now stand for, who you serve, and where you’re going.

We also explore:

  • Why messaging becomes “blurry” as your business grows
  • The difference between content that creates noise vs. authority
  • Why so many women feel they’re constantly repeating themselves—and what’s missing
  • What sustainable visibility looks like (especially if you don’t want to be “on” all the time)
  • How to use AI as a tool without losing your voice

One of the most powerful takeaways is this: your story is not just about your past—it’s a tool to help you step into your future.

And yet, many women hesitate to fully own their story. Not because they lack experience—but because they question whether it’s “worth” sharing.

Patrice challenges that directly.

Your story is your unique IP. It’s the one thing no one can replicate. And in a world increasingly shaped by AI-generated content, your humanity is your greatest advantage.

This episode is an invitation to rethink how you show up—not just as a business owner, but as a leader.

About the host

Suzi Dafnis

Hi there. I’m Suzi Dafnis, CEO at HerBusiness. My BIG passion is helping women business owners to grow and scale their business, so that they can create their ideal lifestyle and make a difference in the world. Every day I am inspired by the more than 30,000 amazing women (and men!) in our community and I love finding the best education, mentors, and resources from around the globe, to help them get the skills, knowledge, and support they need to succeed. It’s been my privilege to lead HerBusiness (formerly The Australian Businesswomen’s Network) for the past 23 years (two+ decades – WOW!) because, whilst I’ve enjoyed success in business, I’ve also experienced the highs and the lows – sometimes you can feel on top of the world and in control and other times you can feel isolated, exhausted and stuck. What has made the biggest difference for me has always been having great people around me and having a lifelong commitment to learning. That’s why I am so passionate about the work we do here at HerBusiness – providing a Connection Network for women in business to get the mentors, contacts, referrals, knowledge, and skills they need to grow their confidence, make more money, build their businesses, expand their network and create the lives they love. My entrepreneurial journey started in the spare room of my Sydney apartment in 1994 when my business partner and I started a boutique events company that represented speakers and authors from the USA, here in Australia. Over the years I’ve grown multiple multi-million dollar businesses in the events, publishing and education niches – with teams in Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Not everything has worked and there has been a degree of trial and error, and a lot of bumps in the road. But I have always had a strong commitment to always surrounding myself with great mentors and like-minded peers – a Connection Network that I can depend on and who can depend on me to be there for them too. I truly do what I love, every day.
