Episode 14 - 20 Things I Learned in 2020

Welcome to Building a Bigger Table

The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income. 

In This Episode:

Welcome back to the Building a Bigger Table Podcast where I’m sharing everything I learned in 2020. If you caught last week’s episode, you’ll know it was all about projecting and how we can make 2021 our year. Well, this week’s all about reflecting, and I’m sharing my top 20 lessons learned. 

Let’s face it, 2020 was not the year that anyone anticipated. I remember around this time last year, thinking about all of the things I wanted to do in the year ahead, and the reality of what happened looked very different from the vision in my head. I’m sure it’s the same for you.

But one of the most important things you can do in life (and business) is to learn how to deal with change - not to mention how to cope when things don’t go to plan… Why? Because there is always a lesson to be learned, people.

Tune in to hear my most important learnings from 2020 - from the modest to the most profound - and let’s round up this strange old year together before we step into the next one.

Key Takeaways:

The legacy I want to leave behind

Your best next business move

Financial empowerment is everything

The shift I see coming for 2021

Quotes:

“I can run my own race. I can slay my own lane. I can actually completely and utterly change my business model to suit me, and it's okay.”

“If anything 2020 has taught me that I am a creative activist at heart who happens to be damn good at business.”

“I am the person to work with if you want to have somebody who is really going to hold you accountable for getting the results that you and I both know that you're capable of. I'm not the easy solution, but I am the solution when you want to get real results.”

Episode 13 - How To Grab 2021 By The Horns

Welcome to Building a Bigger Table

The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income. 

In This Episode:

I have to be honest, I’m really quite excited to share this episode with you. This one’s all about how you can grab 2021 by the horns - and you know what that means … it means we got to the end of 2020!

Let’s take a moment to celebrate that, because let’s be real, it wasn’t easy. It has been - without a doubt - one of the most challenging years of our time. And even for those of us who have thrived in business, there have still been challenges in other areas. We’ve been separated from our loved ones, we haven’t been able to travel, we’ve been homeschooling … You name it, 2020 had it.

But as we look back and reflect, I think it’s also important to look forward and see what we can do differently in 2021 … because remember, there are always lessons to be learned. That’s why I decided to dedicate a whole podcast episode to how we can make 2021 our best year yet.

In it, I’m sharing actionable steps you can take to set yourself up for success in the new year - professionally, but personally too. So if you’re ready to draw a line in the sand and move onwards and upward - tune in. Let’s do this thing!

Key Takeaways:

Steps to make 2021 your year

How to turn your vision into a reality

How to nail your financial reflections and projections

My top tips for professional and personal success

Quotes:

“That means, I want you to look at your numbers. I want you to ask your accountant or your bookkeeper for an overview of what 2020 looked like for you financially.”

“You know, this podcast isn't just about business. Although that's at my core and it always will be - it's about creating a movement. It's about creating financial empowerment. And to me, part of being financially empowered is having the time to do the things that you love with the people you love. ”

“I want you to really work on your mindset. You know yourself better than everyone else. So. You've got to do what works for you.”

Episode 12 - Why Everyone Needs To Be Creating A Pop Up Product

Welcome to Building a Bigger Table

The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income. 

In This Episode:

Welcome back to the Building a Bigger Table Podcast, where today I'm going to be talking about why everyone - and yes, I do mean EVERYONE - should be creating, producing, marketing and selling Pop Up Products.

Now, here on the Building A Bigger Table Podcast we pretty much have one singular goal in mind. And that is to make sure that collectively we build a big enough table, so that no one ever needs to ask for a seat again. And as you know, we can't have any kind of freedom without financial empowerment. Which is what Pop-Up Products will provide you with. So if you're running your own business, you're an entrepreneur, or whatever label you describe yourself as … you NEED to be working on one.

Join me in this episode, where I’m sharing absolutely everything you need to know (and none of what you don’t) when it comes to planning, preparing and promoting Pop-Up Products. I’m explaining exactly what they are (and what they aren’t), and exploring the many benefits of them for your business.

So whether you’re at the innovation, creation or implementation stage with YOUR Pop-Up Product, or even if you don’t know what they are yet … I strongly advise you tune into this episode to hear what they can do for you!

Key Takeaways:

Pop-Up Products are easy to create, sell and consume

The content should be bite-size

The price point should be £50/ $50 or less

You can get started TODAY

Quotes:

“Pop-up products are always under $50 or £50. It's almost like an impulse purchase. I see it. I like it. I buy it. There is no more thought to it than that.”

“20 years ago - probably even 10 years ago - it was really difficult to set up a successful business. If you didn't have a bank loan or a business loan from somewhere. Today - listen up people, you can get your pop-up product out there this afternoon.”

“What happens is they move from a browser who's seen an ad, to a buyer who buys your pop-up product, because it's a super simple, easy to make decision. And then, because it's super simple for them to consume ... they go from being a browser, to a buyer, to a fan because you have now given them a quick win.”

Episode 11 - Why You Should Only Ever Compete With Yourself

Welcome to Building a Bigger Table

The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income. 

In This Episode:

Welcome back to the Building a Bigger Table Podcast, with me Shaa Wasmund MBE. Episode 11 is another solo, and for this one I’m disclosing all the reasons why you should only ever compete with yourself.

Let's be honest, how many of us in our careers have looked at other people and thought to ourselves, ‘Why are they so much further ahead than I am?’ and perhaps ‘... when they’re not even as good as I am’, though we might not want to own up to that part.

So today I want to talk to you about why it is so important for your business growth, your personal growth and your sanity to only ever compete with yourself. The truth is, comparison and competition come up all the time in business, but it’s important to understand that you are running your own race.

Join me in this episode where I reveal the 3 crucial questions you should be asking yourself constantly, why failures are just as important as successes, and riff on the concept of coasting and why getting clear on where you’re headed is absolutely essential. 

Key Takeaways:

You’re running your own race

3 crucial questions to constantly ask yourself 

Failures are as important as successes

Stop comparing, start coasting

Quotes:

“I have been guilty of comparing my business in year three to somebody else's business in year 10. Well, duh, of course, they're going to be further ahead than you!”

“I think running a business is like being Lewis Hamilton in your Formula One car, you should never put your foot all the way down, unless you are very clear about where you are headed.”

“Like everything else in life, this is always about making sure that you are not just taking. If you want to truly collaborate with people, you have to always be thinking, first and foremost, what am I giving?’

Episode 10 - How to Self Lead By Example with Todd Herman

Welcome to Building a Bigger Table

The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income. 

In This Episode:

I’m very excited to welcome Todd Herman to the Building a Bigger Table Podcast for episode 10. 

He helps elite performers - whether they’re entrepreneurs, entertainers, athletes or public figures - achieve their most ambitious goals by becoming more resilient, creative, confident and courageous.

Originally from Alberta, Canada, Todd grew up on a farm as a shy, insecure and dyslexic young boy. It’s safe to say he’s not your typical high performance coach, but he’s living proof that you can absolutely create your own destiny and achieve things that seem outside of the realm of possibility. That’s exactly why he’s so real, relatable, and damn good at what he does.

In this episode we cover Todd’s inspirational story from the low points to the high, and he shares what he’s learnt along the way. He reveals what differentiates high performers from ordinary folk, and the level of commitment you have to put in if you want to truly make it at something, so if you’ve got big dreams - listen up!

Then we dive deep into what Building a Bigger Table means on an individual level as opposed to systemic one. We address the risks we take and rewards we make as business owners or people in the public eye when we choose to speak up on controversial issues … and we debunk the performative allyship and call out culture we see today on social media.

If you’re striving to be a better leader from the inside out … then this episode’s for you!

Key Takeaways:

The importance of self leadership

The unspoken risk all entrepreneurs take

The damage of digital trauma and trolling

Why echo chambers are unproductive

Quotes:

”It's the one thing that unfortunately, I think a lot of society has lost right now where people are out there judging so fast so quickly. [...] There's just a real lack of kindness and integrity.”

“There is this performative allyship that you were just talking about. There's this performative nature that people are out puffing their chest on social media.”

“A system is always built up by what individuals. Individuals make up a system. And so if you want to change a system of something that you perceive to be there, then the individuals have to change.”

Episode 9 - How to Start Making, Then TAKING 6 Figures Home

Welcome to Building a Bigger Table

The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income. 

In This Episode:

For episode 9 of the Building a Bigger Table Podcast, I’m talking about one of my favourite topics, which is how to start making 6 figures. And not only that, but how to actually start TAKING 6 figures home too.

So, why the second part? Because making 6 figures will only get you so far. Once you hit that milestone (or perhaps if you have already), you’ll realise that it still doesn’t give you much wiggle room in terms of surplus cash once you’ve covered your outgoings. When you are actually able to take 6 figures home … you’ll find yourself with additional funds to invest in other things.

For me, this is not about being able to buy a Ferrari - if that’s your jam, you do you. But personally, taking 6+ figures home is where I began to feel financially empowered. I believe that it’s the tipping point where everything changes and you’re able to take radical responsibility for the difference you’re making to your own life, your family’s lives and your communities. It’s all about social mobility and generational wealth, people.

Join me for this episode where I explain WHY taking 6 figures home is so important, and reveal the 6 questions you need to answer to get there in as little as 6 months. If you’re ready to build a business that makes a difference - grab your notepad and press play right away! 

Key Takeaways:

The importance of financial empowerment

The effects of generational wealth

Why everything changes at the 6 figure mark

6 questions to get you to 6 figures

Quotes:

“I think it's a privilege to do the work that I do. I think it’s a privilege to have spent my entire career loving the work that I do. I think it’s a privilege to make an effort for my people. So I'm happy to make the effort. I'm happy to do the work, but I also want to get paid and I want you to get paid too.”

“The point is that when you have surplus income, you get to have more choices.”

“We need to learn and understand in our bones that not only can we make six figures, but we can start to take six figures home.”

Episode 8 - How to Build an 8 Figure Business on a $5 Product with Melissa Lanz

Welcome to Building a Bigger Table

The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income. 

In This Episode:

I’m so happy to be joined by my awesome friend Melissa Lanz for episode 8 of the Building a Bigger Table Podcast. 

Melissa quit her internet marketing executive job and founded The Fresh 20 to promote good eating habits in the midst of a national health crisis in the US. Her first product was a $5 meal plan, and what started out as a simple vision to help people like herself has now grown into an 8 figure empire.

There’s so much emphasis around online programs and high ticket offers being the secret to success at the moment, but if that’s not your jam, no worries … as Melissa’s here as living proof that you can build a highly successful business with a simple, low ticket product that solves a common problem. In this episode, she shares everything you need to know (and none of what you don’t) to get started and scale. 

Also, as we’re both outspoken on the subjects that matter to us, we discuss the importance of making an impact, not just an income … and why that drives our decisions in business. We delve into the different layers of building a bigger table and Melissa shares her personal experience as a black woman.

If you’ve got a simple but smart idea you want to get off the ground, you don’t want to miss a second of this episode - so grab your coffee, find a quiet spot, and get ready to take notes! 

Key Takeaways:

How to turn a vision into a reality

Why low ticket offers can build a BIG business

The big decision every business owner needs to make

The different layers of building a bigger table

Quotes:

“When I started my business 10 years ago, I had no resources. I did not know what I was doing. I just had a vision. I wanted to help more people.”

“If I had to go back and do it all over again, I would start with a really, really simple problem that hits people, like either on an every day or an every week basis. I would solve one tiny problem in someone's life. And from there, you can build on that.”

“There's a difference between having a view that is different to your own and having a view that goes against your morals and your values. And you should never have to compromise your morals or your values in business.”

Welcome to Building a Bigger Table…

The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income. 

In This Episode:

Welcome to episode 7 of the Building a Bigger Table Podcast, where I’m joined by my ‘Australian twin’ Leonie Dawson!

I refer to her like this, because we have so much in common in our approach to business and life. She’s all about providing real value in a no-nonsense way - there’s no slick gimmickry or trendy marketing tricks to be found here.

Leonie is all about expression. She believes that whatever makes you tick, and whatever your dream lifestyle looks like … it’s a-okay to not play by the rules of what is considered normal. So how did this self-confessed hippie manage to build a hugely successful business turning over 8 figures only to realise it wasn’t what she really wanted! And now … well now she’s just working just 10 hours a week - who doesn’t want that?!

Tune in to hear her story right from start up until today as she shares why downsizing was one of her best business decisions EVER. We talk team, tantrums, work-life balance and top tips for scaling to 6 figures and beyond.

And, of course, we discuss all of the above in the context of the coronavirus, and share why we think there’s never been a better time to move your business online to create more impact and income than ever before. 

If you’re tired of seeing everyone do things the same way and want to do it YOUR way … hit the play button right away!

Key Takeaways:

Sometimes downsizing is rightsizing 

3 core values for business success

The surprising secret to growing your mailing list

The No.1 thing that will get you to 6 figures

Quotes:

“The bigger challenge I think, is not how you get to six figures, but how do you get to six figures and beyond in a way that makes you happy.”

“I think there's going to be a big awakening for people. I think there's going to be a big realization that a lot of people, millions and millions of people around the world have been sleepwalking. They've been sleepwalking in their careers.”

“It was really looking at - ‘okay, how can I pull it back, simplify it, pair it back to what actually makes this business money and what I love doing?”

Welcome to Building a Bigger Table…

The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income. 

In This Episode:

In this episode of the Building a Bigger Table Podcast, I’m diving deep into one of the things that’s going to STOP you from building a bigger table ... for you, your business, your family, and your community. And that thing is not hiring the right team at the right time.

Seriously, the number one thing that is going to prevent you from growing from a six to a seven, and multi seven figure business is not making sure you have the right team in place to support you. This is the foundation for all of your growth.

If you tune into this episode, you’ll hear the key mistakes that people make in this area and how you can avoid them. I’ll also break it down to the 3 stages your business might be at and how you should be hiring according to that, so you can pinpoint exactly who your next hire should be …

… so whether you’ve just started scaling, have found yourself at a plateau, or are ready to take an already high functioning team to the next level - this episode has everything you need to know when it comes to building out your dream team!

Key Takeaways:

You can’t build a bigger table all by yourself

Why SOPs will save you time, energy and money

Why paying for people more pays off

If you can’t acquire the skills, hire the skills

Quotes:

“When you are constantly spending your time jumping from one thing to another thing, because you're always being pulled in to fight the fires ... guess what? The whole building will soon be ablaze and burned into the ground because you are one person.”

“Remember, you can only build a bigger table in your business when you have the right people sitting at yours.”

“When you don't have the capacity, the time, the leverage or the financial resources to allow people to learn in your business, you need to start hiring from experience and for experience … you need to hire for the role that exists right now, not the role that you think people can grow into.”

Welcome to Building a Bigger Table…

The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income. 

In This Episode:

Welcome back, folks. In episode 5 of the Building a Bigger Table Podcast I want to talk to you about how to juggle rather than struggle. And let’s face it, as entrepreneurs, juggling is in our DNA and the truth is it’s something we have to do …

… but I’m a firm believer that struggling is a choice. I’d even go so far as to say that some of us wear it as a badge of honour to prove how hard working we are. This episode is here to disprove the need for that.

In it, I share my top tips for how you can stop the struggle and get your life back, while still building your business. I want to help all of you who are feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, exhausted, and pulled between personal and professional commitments - and show you that there really is a better way.

Tune in to hear the story of my struggle (something I don’t share often) … along with handy habits you can start applying today that have helped me take control of my life. I’m diving deep into single parenthood, why saying no to one thing means saying yes to another, and how sometimes finding a blend is better than balance. If you’re trying to be everything to everyone, and do all of the things all of the time … this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways:

The juggle is real, but the struggle is optional

Helpful habits you can adopt today

Blend is more realistic than balance

The more you outsource, the more time you get back

Quotes:

“If we truly want to learn how to juggle and not struggle, guess what? The first thing we need to do is get out of our own way.”

“If you were doing a workshop, or a webinar, or a Facebook live and people were counting on you - you'd show up. You wouldn't move it. So why move your time with yourself or your family or your friends?”

“Remember, every time you say no, you get to say yes to something that you really want to do.”
