It’s one of the messages to be delivered when entrepreneurial-enthusiast Lisa Messenger rolls into Tamworth next week.
Ms Messenger shot to prominence with her magazine, Collective Hub, and amassed hundreds of thousands of followers across her social media platforms.

While she pulled the pin on the print editions of her magazine, a decision she said “felt amazing”, the former Coolah-girl has embarked on a regional speaking tour aimed at helping start-ups and entrepreneurs take the leap.
Regional areas might often battle the tyranny of distance and the perils of relative-isolation, but Ms Messenger said as long as you have a computer and a kitchen table, geography wasn’t a problem.
She said self-belief was the missing link for many women who took the leap into a start-up scenario.
“Here’s the trick,” Ms Messenger said.
“No one has any idea what they’re doing, we’re all making it up.
“If I can do it, anyone can, I’m nothing special, you’ve just got to learn to believe in yourself.”
Her organisation has an international reach, but growing-up in Coolah, in the state’s central west, held her in good stead as she rode the waves of success since 2013.
“It’s about being grounded,” she said.
“When some people achieve some level of success, it’s easy to become narcissistic wankers.
“Or you can stay grounded, I don’t feel any different to how I did in Coolah.
“I learnt to believe in myself and had a propensity for risk … it’s been the best thing, it’s held me in good stead.”
Ms Messenger’s itinerary for her talking tour takes in Canberra, Yass, Dubbo and Wagga Wagga.
Tickets are still available for Ms Messenger’s Tamworth event which will be hosted at the Quality Hotel Powerhouse on Monday, May 28 from 6.30pm
