257. The Portfolio Business Model: How to Build a Business AI Can't Replace with Monique Harding

There’s a whole lot of business advice in the online space that says if you want to be successful you need to squeeze yourself into one niche, one offer, one tidy little business model that looks good on paper…but also completely destroys your soul.  You end up bored, boxed in, and feeling a bit like you've abandoned half of who you are. But what if I told you that this isn’t actually a flaw that you need to fix? That there is a way for you to have a business that holds ALL of you – every interest, every skill, every part of you you've been told to tuck away.  And that with everything changing thanks to AI – it could also be one of the smartest, most future-proof ways to run your business right now. Well, that’s exactly what we’re getting into today, with the always magical Monique Harding. Mon is a portfolio business owner, sociologist and coach who helps founders and skilled professionals build multiple income streams under one identity.  Her own work spans a therapy practice, business coaching, digital products and a retained partnership with the Australian Institute of Sport.  She's on a mission to help women connect with their unique strengths and create a flexible, creatively satisfying business of diversified streams. In this episode of the How I Do Content Podcast, Mon shares what the portfolio model actually is and how to put one together with real strategy, why she's convinced it's where things are heading, and how leaning into all of who you are might just be your biggest edge in a world that keeps changing. By the end, I reckon you'll look at all those "too many interests" of yours in a completely different light. So let’s get into it.
