Hi! I’m Brook McCarthy.
I’m the creator of the Hustle & Heart program.
I’m a digital marketing trainer and business coach with more than 12 years experience. I helps self-employed people who deliver professional services, mostly in the health and creative sectors, to better define their difference and grow their professional reputation so that they can attract (far) more ideal clients.
Within a few months of starting my own digital marketing consultancy back in early 2008, I had more work than I could handle. This was right at the start of social media marketing and my timing was excellent. For several years, I worked in the trenches, doing a broad variety of digital marketing strategy and implementation for small business owners, mainly from the health sector.
For sole traders and small business owners, I could see that digital marketing was perfect, being accessible, highly effective, and a fraction of the cost of traditional marketing and advertising. I knew that outsourcing marketing long-term wasn’t possible for many small business owners and I’ve always preferred to show someone how to do something than do it for them. So in 2012, I began running intensive marketing courses for sole traders and small business owners around Australia, on how to use compelling communication, values-based marketing and cutting-edge digital strategy, to grow their businesses to meet financial, lifestyle and values goals.
I spent the first few years in business learning and growing rapidly. I was reacting and responding, running from one client emergency to the next. I knew that I wasn’t working as smartly as I should but I struggled to find information and support that was relevant to my situation.
Normal business seminars and courses were so focused on maximising profits above all else that they left me feeling cold. There was little talk about the daily realities of running a small business and next-to-no mention of the challenges – including stress and burn-out, self-doubt and uncertainty. And despite being a long-time yoga and meditation teacher, I wasn’t interested business courses that felt like a hippie love-in, with way too much navel gazing and little, if any, information on the techniques and strategies to run and grow a busy business.
I needed to find my own way through business development – where I could harness my values and broader purpose to grow my business my way, while doing my best work. And so Hustle & Heart was born.

What program participants say:
The Hustle & Heart course exceeded any expectations! I used to cringe at the idea of marketing which I believed compromised my integrity. I felt that integrity and marketing were mutually exclusive. But the reality is that I needed to get my business out there and I needed help from someone who understood my market and my mindset. This program changed my whole outlook and gave me the tools to get in the game. Through doing the program, I was able to realise that I could indeed keep my integrity and do some serious hustling. Hustle & Heart took me to some unexpected places within myself and I was able to clear out some useless junk that was holding me back from my business potential. Brook’s enthusiasm creates a wonderful buzz and an energy of doing! She’s supportive, generous and keeps it real. It was great to be able to connect with Brook and the other ‘Hustlers’ online and to be able to share how we were going on our marketing journeys. Brook’s personal, real-life examples of methods in action inspired me to get over my fears and take action on things I’d been putting off. Do yourself a favour and get on it!
Natalie WindsorBrook is completely committed to her students. Her approach is genuine and always straight to the point, enabling me to find solutions that are simple and systematic. The wealth of information Brook shared is humungous and relevant to today’s values-based business approach. The content shared during the program will keep me learning and applying throughout the next year. Thank you!
Donna ZaffinoHustle and Heart is a ‘real’ coaching program with plenty of community support. I’ve been in other coaching-type groups when there has been virtually no interaction with the facilitator or other members. I loved the interaction with Brook. She is excellent at touching base each day and keeping the group on-track and motivated!
Since the program, I have more clarity for my clients in setting expectations for doing business with me, new ideas, inspiration and motivation, and a far greater understanding of marketing/communications and how to build my professional reputation. In fact, I’m in the process of rebranding, renaming and repositioning my business to work better and attract the perfect clients who are made for me.
Gina GeorgeBrook, once again you’ve opened up the process of reflection and direction setting for me. I have some great resources to refer to and definitely feel that I have a clearer direction on where to take my business over the coming years so that I offer products which are of real value to people.
I have a plan and goals I’m excited by and far more clarity in what I’m doing. Having an online community of support is really useful and I look forward to spending more time here in the years to come.
Leonie LockwoodThis course is for you if you’re serious about growing your business and moving into doing your best work. Brook is direct, knowledgeable, passionate, enthusiastic and very generous. The course content is brilliant, delivered in very user-friendly formats. Brook, I cannot thank you enough for this course. Best online course I’ve ever done. And the learning and implementing has only just begun. I highly recommend Hustle & Heart!
Bettina PfannkuchThis program reminded me that all the tools and opportunities are here within me as well as ‘out there’, to kick ass at growing my business filled with passion and serious hustle. You don’t have to trade one for the other like we are constantly told! I feel excited and positive about my business now. When sharing and hearing others’ stories and facing my fears head-on, I’ve made a plan of how to work through them and they’ve lost their power (thank god!).
A couple of months later, I put my prices up, which everyone embraced. I sold out my new course that I charged at premium and and have attracted pretty much all new people beyond my small community. I’ve made more profit from changes made that were inspired by the program. I feel fabulous about it all. Your work has enabled me to move forward with clarity and confidence. Thanks so much for putting this out into the world!
