Leadership is often perceived as a skill only for people who are at the highest ranks within a business. However in this episode Catherine explains how you can be a leader at any level. She also covers the importance of having a different view on creating leaders and how it can benefit you.
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

One of the key parts of going for in an interview is feeling confident, feeling your best and looking your best.
Empower someone else to become a leader of your project and let them lead the project. You should still give your ideas and be included but allow someone else to lead.
Being a leader can also empower other people to create their own projects and that’s what leadership’s about.
They may seem like another competitor but you’ve created another leader which is amazing. You can also do collaborations with them rather than viewing them as a competitor.
Leaders can be people on all levels of a business, not just the top. Push to be a leader no matter what level you’re on.

 
BEST MOMENTS
‘The leader is steering the ship’
‘Don’t just stop at your end target’.
‘Cooperation can bring power to what you do’.

ABOUT THE HOST
Catherine Turner
Catherine is an iTunes No.1 podcast host of Leveraged Lifestyle, entrepreneur, businesswoman, an Inspirational Speaker, world record holder, Co-Director of Ideal-Collective.com and a mum of 2!
Catherine quit being an employee in 2013, after working more than 50+ hours on average a week, over 3 jobs. Jobs, hours and a lifestyle which led to a diagnosis of clinical depression before the age of 25.
In 2011/12 Catherine discovered the power of investing in property, and tried many different property investment strategies over the years, finally settling on Serviced Accommodation in 2015, which has now grown from one unit in her home town of Chelmsford, Essex to over 50 across the UK, helping investors, landlords and developers create a better return on their money or property.
This year, Catherine and her husband Stephen, also her business partner, joined forces with the Directors of LoLite Homes to create the Ideal-Collective.com, which is all about leveraging the services and knowledge of all four Directors when it comes to Serviced Accommodation, Social Media, Finance & Virtual Assistants.
Catherine started Leveraged Lifestyle podcast to give business owners and those not leading their ideal lifestyle, to learn the mindset and skillset it takes to create a lifestyle of Freedom, by leveraging time, money & knowledge and using outsourcing and systemisation.

Go all in and don’t give yourself an easy way back if you want to have the best chance of success.

The 5 Steps to Hiring Your Virtual Assistant (VA) ... And The Mistakes We Made Along The Way

Catherine revisits one of the most downloaded episodes from the last 2 years with guest  Emma Dalton who created the freedom she wanted by moving from the corporate world and creating a successful eCommerce business.
Emma discusses the turning point and what it actually takes to get started with no money and create the type of business you want.
They discuss finding your passion and why all the knowledge and experience you have previously has value and can be transferred to new ventures.
There are always numbers that you have to know and it’s vital that even as a small business you plan as if you are a big business so the right systems and processes are in place, making it easier to successfully grow. This is a great insight with lots of advice on how to get started in business and design the life you want.
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

I didn’t have the money to set up a business but I did have an overriding belief that everything will work out if you work hard enough.
The essential numbers are turnover and profit margin growth month on month.
The fundamentals are -  what profit am I making now and is it growing month on month?
I started with around £50 and I focus on sourcing women’s unique fashion pieces through charity shops, online and car boot sales.
If you want to get started, declutter your own wardrobe and treat it as a business. Use it as a learning opportunity to find out about the photography, whether you want to use the auctions or buy it now to sell and to gain experience of the whole selling process.
My business moved to the next level when I took a conscious decision to review and put in place the right processes.
I’ve leveraged my eBay business activity down to 3 days and increased my income by 3x through processes.
Even if you are a small business plan as if you are a big business. if you have the right processes in place at the start it makes it much easier as you grow.
Blocking time and being very structured about how I use my time has been the key to be able to use my time efficiently.
The hardest part of business is saying ‘no’
As an entrepreneur you know you are on a journey and moving ahead but it’s not always possible to see the destination all the time.
I’ve always wanted a flexible living life and I want to have integrity in what I do.
Find the thing the brings you joy; design the life you want and be honest about what you want.

 
BEST MOMENTS
‘Through effective leveraging when I have downtime for me it’s all for me’
 I’ve become much more aware of my values since being self-employed.
‘You can just start and you don’t buy any new stock until what you have is sold so there is no new money involved’
