March 30, 2022Episode 64 - How To Supercharge Your Energy With Simon Ong
Shaa is joined by award-winning coach, motivational speaker, and author of the incredible new book, 'Energize', to talk about his incredible business journey, and how he learned to put the pursuits of his heart and mind above the sometimes superficial achievements we find in the workplace
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Far too often, success comes down to the label we acquire in our careers. But these superficial labels tend to come at the cost of our health, happiness and relationships.
If you're in a profession that is leaving you unfulfilled, and you wish to jump ship, don't do so without a plan. Build a bridge from one path to the other.
The world has changed in radical ways. People are being placed at the centre of decisions and culture in business, meaning that the value of individuals is finally being recognised.
When we experience an event, setback, failure or win, the way we interpret it will be very different from the way that others do. This means that we are always in control of choosing our own perspective, which changes our reality.
BEST MOMENTS
'Success, for me, was determined by my job title'
'It kickstarted the longest journey we as humans make - from our heads to our hearts'
'I felt like Superman without the super powers'
'You need somewhere, as an entrepreneur, to go and have conversations with other people'

February 24, 2022Episode 61 - Are You Made For More?
Join Shaa and a few of the women from the ‘Made for More ‘cohort as they explore the role of the ‘Made for More’ Community including why it is so special and how it aids them in always pushing for more in business and in life.

They talk about how having a place you can come together and be honest without fear of judgement, can be invaluable in pushing your dreams, goals and life forward. An uplifting and inspirational episode full of support, encouragement and collaboration.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Having people who get you, who understand your struggles and normalise your ambition is imperative to achieve success and retain your mental wellbeing and self-belief. You can share ideas, brainstorm and just talk with understanding and support.
Our path isn’t unique to us, but it might not be shared with our closest family and friends. So, finding a peer support group can really help you connect with others, to have great conversations, work with you and importantly, celebrate with you too.
Belief is essential to working towards your goals. If you don’t believe you can do it, then you won’t. This is why it can be a struggle to talk to people who are held back by their own limiting beliefs and fears. You need to be around likeminded individuals who will uplift you not hold you back and this is where the right community can come into play.
Women aren’t less ambitious, we just tend to have more limiting beliefs due to the way society treats us. Women aren’t less passionate or ambitious, they have just been taught fear and often worry about asking questions.
Women are always trying to be the best in every area of their lives. We can unfortunately feel like asking for help is a sign of weakness but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Asking people for help is a sign of strength and it also signifies to others that it is ok to ask when you need support.
Made for More isn’t about learning but implementation. Doing the work that needs to be done for everyone to get and see results.
It’s important to compete with yourself and collaborate with others. Your only competition should be with yourself, we are all on our own journeys and if we can help each other by collaborating, communicating and supporting one another then we can all help each other win too.

BEST MOMENTS
“It’s not always easy to normalise your ambition”
“When you have a high, people don’t get it. So, you then start questioning yourself. That self-belief can be really challenging to overcome, especially when they are working alone”
“When you have a win, it’s a win for everybody…it’s a celebratory win for everybody and if one person can win, they we all can win”
“It’s completely revolutionised everything in my business, because of all the support I have had in the group”
“This is your lane and you’re going to slay it your way”

February 17, 2022Episode 60 - Why Women Need More Money
DESCRIPTION
This week, Shaa shares how women over the age of forty are now the fastest growing business demographic, but also the group that is granted the least amount of funding, and why that needs to change.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Women over 40 are now the fastest growing group of business owners out there. This has come from a greater need to create financial security and freedom for themselves and their families.
This is the time in life when women have hugely valuable experience, a wide network … and yet, limited funding.
Women need a safe space to normalise their ambitions. We need to surround ourselves with like minded women who champion each other.
BEST MOMENTS
'We're going to level up our conversations and normalise our ambitions'
'We can't change anything by ourselves - we have to do this collectively'

February 10, 2022Episode 59 - How To Make Your Life Easier
This week, Shaa shares how to make your life easier - from the home to your business. Including the Wheel Of Life technique, plus three core practices you can employ immediately, that will ease the burdens in all areas.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Many of us feel as though we have had our wings clipped by lockdown over the last couple of years. When we start to feel like prisoners, our life feels overwhelming.
Analyse who you are spending time with. This is a fundamental contributor in making life and business easier. Communities of like-minded people will inspire and provide accountability.
We can refine the tasks ahead by separating them into three columns: Do, Ditch or Delegate. Prioritising the jobs in front of us, and deciding what's truly important, can serve to free up valuable time.
When we feel energised and empowered, it's far easier to face our challenges head on. Surround yourself with the right people, the right tasks, and the right energy and we will be far more productive.
BEST MOMENTS
'If you're anything like me then the last few years have made you feel like a prisoner in your own home'
'It's not about learning something new. It's about implementing what we already know'
'If it's been on your to-do list for more than two weeks, just ditch it!'

January 27, 2022Episode 58 - The Truth About Coaching - with Laura Berman Fortgang (One Of The Original Founders Of The ICF)
Laura Berman Fortgang is an author, speaker, and career coach. She has appeared on TED, Fortune, Fast Company, The New York Times, CNN, and Oprah Winfrey, and was one of the original founders of the International Coach Federation.
Laura joins Shaa to talk about her incredible coaching career across the past 27 years, the ingredients needed to be a life-changing coach, and the true meaning of reinvention and evolution.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Life is like a magnet. Every single piece of rust and decay in your life is preventing the good stuff from being attracted to you
Taking control of our destiny is all about choosing ourselves instead of waiting for others to choose us. We have the power to rise up, so why wait for someone else to give us the green light?
The world today is constantly evolving, and can sometimes appear daunting, but with the advancing technology has come more opportunity for reinvention.
When we evolve and change, we are growing closer to the version of ourselves that has always been there. Evolving is about peeling away layers to reveal what has always been there.
BEST MOMENTS
'What is the rust on my magnet that I need to get rid of in order to attract the good stuff in life?'
'I was an actor who became a coach and it changed my life'
'I don't want to wait for someone to choose me. I want to choose myself'
'Reinvention is about getting closer to who you really are as you evolve'

January 20, 2022Episode 57 - How To Build A Small But Mighty List
In episode 57, Shaa give you some simple tips to start building a Small But Mighty Email List - and why social media might be our go to way of reaching people, but if you’re not building your email list; you’re leaving your business vulnerable and leaving money on the table.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Social media matters, but we need to remember that we don’t own these platforms, and that at any time we could have our access revoked. So it’s wise to diversify our platforms and means of audience building.
When people sign up for an email list, you have the opportunity of building a relationship with them. You see far higher levels of conversions to sales from an email list than any form of social media.
Building a mighty list doesn’t mean you need 50,000 people; far from it. Create engaging content, be you and be consistent!
BEST MOMENTS
'Social media is rented ground. You do not own it'
'I don't want to be tied to social media all the time, but I do want to grow my audience'
'The only asset you have when growing your audience is your email list'

January 13, 2022Episode 56 - How To Do Less And Get More - With Chris Ducker
This week, Shaa is joined by Chris Ducker, who is world renowned for running epic Masterminds. He runs multiple businesses including a Virtual Staff Finder agency in the Philippines.
They are both big believers in doing less to get more … and yes, Shaa wrote aa book by that title too!
In business and life, there is a value to be found in simplifying things so as to increase your time and earn more.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Many worked harder because they were in lockdown, but they have failed to find the cutoff switch ever since. We don't need to work harder these days - we just need to work smarter.
Prioritisation is key when it comes to managing time. We must make sure that important tasks are given their place on our hierarchy of time, and that distractions and irrelevancies are kept to a minimum.
Teams are the key to scaling successfully. Leveraging tasks to those we trust, and taking on the tasks in which we excel, ensures that all time is spent most effectively, allowing our impact to be far greater.
When we find our unique offer, it is far more effective to look for ways to strengthen it, rather than trying to add more onto our offering.
BEST MOMENTS
'It's about doing less to achieve more'
'If you don't have the team, you can't scale'
'We need to make sure our priorities stay our priorities'
Simplify your life to amplify your results'

January 06, 2022Episode 55 - It's All About Relationships, Business, Life And Politics - with Sir Richard Needham
This week, Shaa is joined by her ‘Pops’ Sir Richard Needham who, as a Member Of Parliament from 1979 to 1997, served as Under-Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and as Minister of State for Trade.
They discuss his recent memoir and his countless escapades ...
Richard and Shaa met many years ago when they were both working alongside Sir James Dyson and became lifelong friends. Their relationship is testament to both of their firm beliefs that every success in life comes from the importance we play on relationships.
Despite the fact that they were born into entirely opposite ends of the social economic spectrum; they’ve forged a deep respect for each other.
Richard discusses his outlook on life, the origins of his entrepreneurial spirit, and the life lessons he has learned during an incredible career as one of the UK's most influential businessmen and politicians.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
In order to get the best out of the people in your business, you must put your trust in them and accept that they want responsibility.
Money is a reward for what people do, but it shouldn't be used as an incentive. Incentives work far better if they make people feel like participants in the business.
Politics is going through a dark moment now, where a lack of morals, ethics and reliability seem to be the norm. Politicians seem to think that the people work for them, when the reality is quite the opposite.
Don’t judge people by their past
BEST MOMENTS
'Everything you say I endorse thoroughly'
'If you want to get the best out of everybody then you've got to trust them'
''It feels like we've gone back to the 18th century!'
'You actually changed my perception'
