Your Business Quest Podcast

So, last week was the first time I watched The Big Bang Theory … I know … I’m late to the party!

But it got me thinking …  imagine if the creators of that show, or any of our favourite shows for that matter, poured all their time and energy into crafting the perfect episodes, releasing it to the world, and then… that’s it. No more episodes, no more series, no more sharing it again. Sounds ridiculous right, right?

Yet, I see this pattern happening all too often with some business owners.

Instead of sticking with what’s working, especially when it’s getting results, they get bored or lured in by the next shiny thing and jump ship.

That’s why today, I’d love you answer this question:

What’s stronger in your business journey – your staying power or your boredom-bias?

In the latest podcast episode, I bring this concept to life with real examples and outline at least 7 key benefits of why more staying power can really help you & your business.

Best wishes as always,

I know that Mindset can seem intangible because you can’t exactly stick your finger in it.

But you can see the impact of your mindset, especially your beliefs in your results & the things you do & don’t do!

That’s why mindset gremlins & limiting beliefs are one of my favourite things to help my clients crack through.

In today’s podcast episode, I share with you a very practical thing you can do to see help smoke out any ‘upper limits’ … especially around money & what you charge.

You’ll also hear how the powerful question ‘When did I decide that?’ can cause your limiting beliefs to dissolve away very quickly.

Plus I share a very personal story of how a decision I unknowingly made back when I was 6 or 7 years old, was the reason why I would dread Monday afternoons in my first corporate job in M&S.

Enjoy tuning in & more importantly banishing any beliefs that are holding you back as a result.

Best wishes as always.

How often do you draw inspiration from totally different industry to get fresh & unique perspectives?

Recently, whilst strolling through the streets of London, I found myself deeply immersed in an audiobook that did precisely that for me.

So I totally recommend you devour Will Guidara’s book, ‘Unreasonable Hospitality’, as I firmly believe you’ll find some golden nuggets inside that will bring to life subtle yet impactful ways you can WOW your clients even more.

In this podcast episode, I share my 5 key take aways & reflections from the book, including:

• Putting hospitality are the core of everything you do
• Harnessing the power of ambitious goals
• Embracing the fact that continual evolution is the ‘norm’ & accepting that you won’t always get it right … first time!
• The important role people play in your success
• How to leverage your past experiences as a real asset for your current & future business

Enjoy exploring this episode & please share your key actions from it too.

Because our mind works on autopilot, it’s ruling what you’re thinking & doing at an unconscious level … without you even realising at times!

So in today’s episode, I want to share a simple yet powerful way for you to have more Emotional Agility.

It all starts by quickly noticing what you’re feeling & if specifically if those feelings are spiralling upwards or spiralling downwards.

Why is that important?

Because one way is more helpful to you & your business.

Whilst the other can end up causing chaos, confusion & getting you stuck.

The good news is that once you notice it, you can change things up very quickly, if needed.

So tune into the episode & I’ll show you how this can be a real game-changer.

Best wishes as always.

When it comes to goal setting, there is one famous quote that is often banded about that drives me crazy.

In fact instead of being inspirational, I think it can do more damage & end up sabotaging business owners.

In this podcast episode, I share my thinking around it, plus 3 key ‘tests’ that I use to see whether goals are set in a positive way for me & my clients.

I’m sure you’ll find them useful to put your current & future goals through their paces.

Enjoy.

1.    Is this really true?

2.    What am I making this mean?

3.    Is this meaning helpful to me & my business?

Back in the ‘comfort’ of the corporate world, whenever there was a problem – there was always someone else that could take the lead in fixing it.

But now that you’re the boss … do you ever feel like you need to wear multiple hats & you’re ultimately responsible for it all?

I’m sure that at times, you’ve wished for there to be no problems to deal with, right?

But are problems really something we should shy away from in business?

In fact, could it be worse if there were no problems to tackle or is the ideal scenario that you live in a problem-free business world?

Well today, I’d love to take you on a quest where we can both have a chat about this over on the podcast.

I share how this pondering was sparked through a virtual cuppa I had with a business owner recently & why I kinda rained on his parade.

I’ll also share 5 key things that are important to consider when thinking about problems in your business, including:

• New Level … New Devil
• You don’t know what you don’t know!
• No problems = stagnation & staying in your comfort zones
• How you frame it changes the meaning & feeling
• Without problems, we’d not have innovation!

Enjoy!

Today we’ll explore the dilemma:  when is it beneficial to evolve your business & when could change become a distracting negative force?

I’ll take you on a behind-the-scenes journey of how my business have evolved over the past nearly 16 years (& especially these last 2 years).  This includes the reasons why I rebranded from ‘The Get Out Your Way’ Podcast to ‘Your Business Quest’ Podcast, plus changed up the identity of other parts of my business.

You’ll also hear my key top tips & considerations to help you navigate whether to change things up or to stick with what your doing.

These include considering:

• The importance of motivation behind change: Is it boredom or a strategic business decision?
• How do these changes align with your personal values & future goals?
• Importance of client feedback in guiding business evolution.
• Explore your mindset: Is the change driven by fear, scarcity, or limiting beliefs?
• Thinking like a business owner: Assess the short-term, medium-term & long-term impacts.
• The role of the Entrepreneurial Superpower in shaping business changes by focusing upon your strategies.
• How can you bring more fun & experimentation into what you’re doing?
• What habits & actions are you committing to make happen for this potential next evolution, while remaining flexible based on feedback & results?

You’ll hear from my real-life experiences & also some example from clients I’ve guides through this dilemma too.

Enjoy.
