KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Most of us overestimate what we can achieve in a year and underestimate what we can achieve in ten years.
• Build a mental picture-what do you want your health to look like? What are your energy levels like?
• If you can get your health right then you will have the energy, stamina, drive and ‘get up and go' to get everything else done.
• Build a compelling vision for your business. The movie you create needs to be in vivid colour with you in the centre of it with powerful emotions.
• The more time you can spend living in this vision the more you are programming your mind and bringing forward the clarity required to achieve it.
• Build the compelling vision and imagery that will drive you forward every day
• This vision is what you will return to when you are having a bad day when you are facing a challenge.
• You must cast yourself as the central figure ‘the hero of your journey'
• If you plan backwards from the amazing reality in ten years' time what are the milestones?
• If you stand at the position of having already accomplished your goal and plan backwards you can make different calls on the things you know you will need to do.
• The things we think are going to take many years can be achieved in fewer years if we have the right milestones in place.
• Set goals for your milestones using MTO (minimum, target, outrageous) and challenge yourself to play the bigger game.
• Focus on the big stuff that will really make a difference.
• You have a huge opportunity to set your own horizons, so what can you achieve in the next ten years?
• Make it a decade that counts, a defining decade not only for you but also for those closest to you.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Moving and exercise have a huge impact on both your physical well-being and your mental health'

‘Make yourself the victor, the hero of your compelling journey over the next ten years'

‘The 2020s are going to be a defining decade for me in helping shape  the lives of my boys'

‘We love the story of the main character facing and overcoming the challenge'

This week's show is a very special affair. You're cordially invited to sit in on an invaluable conversation between Gavin and his special guest, Traci Cornelius, the host of hit podcast Women Rockin' Business, as they discuss the best ways in which Traci can maximise the launch of her new venture by using two steps of Gavin's six-step growth model, The Strategy Compass.

Sign Up Here: https://bit.ly/biz-pod

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Gavin's six-stage model is The Strategy Compass, which is divided into purpose, mind-set, goals, strategy, capability and action and accountability
• Traci's product is made to increase your visibility with confidence. The outcome she is hoping for is a feeling of being comfortably uncomfortable; to make people “camera ready”, and to increase the likelihood of their being able to deliver their company message effectively.
• If people want to build and scale their businesses, then they need to be prepared to put themselves out there. If they are shy or lack confidence, then it's advisable to address the reasons at the root of this, so that they can make their voice heard effectively.
• The Values Discipline states that if you truly want to create value with your product or service, there are three points to play on, but only one at a time:
  • Product Leadership
  • Operational Excellence
  • Customer Intimacy
• Gavin's SCALE mnemonic:
  • S - Systems
  • C - Cash
  • A - Advance
  • L - Leadership and Culture
  • E - Effectiveness

BEST MOMENTS

‘Visibility is credibility'

‘I'm a gesticulator, too!'

‘The creativity is now flowing'

‘Your model helps with that'

‘What I'm looking for is patterns'

‘I used to be revolutionary. Now I'm evolutionary'

ABOUT THE GUEST

Traci Cornelius is a Speaker, Business Coach, Mindset Coach and mum to five Girls. Like many, Traci's story is not really a succinct one. It is long with many twists and turns (which is like business and life itself!).

On a professional level, she runs many businesses. On a personal level, she is a Mum to five wonderful, adorable, courageous, independent and challenging girls.

“I discovered exactly where I had gone wrong in my previous businesses. Everything I had been through, the good the bad and the ugly started to come together into the best discovery of all the “5 Power Principles” 

I implemented them, first in my business and then in others and so they then became the “5 Power Principles” that other people wanted to know about!”

–Traci Cornelius

When it comes to starting and scaling your business, whilst juggling family responsibilities and taming your mind monkeys, Traci is your go-to-gal!

This week Gavin is in collaboration with fellow podcaster, David Barnett of High Performance Stylist, a specialist in helping hair salon owners grow and scale their business.

David has grown, scaled and sold a hair salon in Northern California for a seven figure sum, and so is well qualified to lead a valuable and insightful discussion about how business owners and entrepreneurs can apply the lesson he's learned to their own businesses.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Gavin's six-stage model is The Strategy Compass, which is divided into purpose, mind-set, goals, strategy, capability and action and accountability.
• We have a choice in how we show up each day, and it all comes back to mind-set. If we project negativity, then that catches on, whether that's through colleagues or customers. We need to make sure we have the correct mind-set going into each day.
• David applied his energies to a sub-niche of the salon industry (weddings) and devised an ingenious strategy to maximise revenue using traditional means and this new strategy. The results were astounding.
• Education is an important part of the salon industry, which traditionally came through the product companies. The stylists now can build a following online, and can use social media top promote themselves and hold classes themselves, which has added immense value.
• The biggest inconsistency in the salon business these days in the culture, a factor that seems to affect all industries equally. 
• Gavin's SCALE mnemonic:
  • S - Systems
  • C - Cash
  • A - Advance
  • L - Leadership and Culture
  • E - Effectiveness

BEST MOMENTS

‘We work with salons all over the world'

‘A bad day has that ripple effect on everybody'

‘How do I make it work for both scenarios?'

'The bride can be a one-hit-wonder'

‘You have a great shaped head though, Gavin!'

'The best way to learn is to teach'

‘It's about making it an adventure and a game and enjoying the journey' 

Gavin is with  Anna Parker-Naples whose book ‘Get Visible has just launched and is already number 1 across 11 categories. 

Her story is a powerful one and in this podcast, she shares her journey with Gavin explaining how she not only recovered, after being told she should not expect to walk again but was three years later standing on the red carpet in Hollywood as an award winner. 

Anna changed the way she thought about herself and in doing this was able to get rid of her self-limiting beliefs and get visible achieving what she wanted in the way she wanted to, listen in now to hear this inspiring story.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• I was told during my pregnancy that due to a condition I had developed it was unlikely that I would walk again. I was angry, depressed, resentful and sad. 

• I got to a point where I realised I had to make a change and as a result visited a hypnotherapist and completed NLP Neuro-Linguistic Programming sessions. 
• He posed the question; 
• What if you could recover? 
• What if you think about yourself in a different way? 
• What would happen if I looked at the opportunities that were available to me? 

• It's all about mindset if you feel you are not worthy then you will not push yourself forward to get yourself and your business well known. 
• It starts with how you feel about yourself. 
• What are you saying about yourself? what is that inner critic voice reminding you of?  it is this that sabotages results. 
• My work encourages people to journal and become aware of themselves so that every time they say or write something self-limiting they can replace it with a positive. It's about creating new beliefs. 
• The reasons you think you are not good enough, stem from thoughts formed when you were very young.   

• We are all carrying around these self-limiting beliefs which were formed to protect us at that point, we didn't make the wrong decision we made the right decision at the time. 
• If you feel you are a person who should be doing more, having more impact and influence and are frustrated with the results you are getting changing those limiting thoughts can change your achievability and make you more congruent with your life. 
• Visibility is about what you are doing and why you are doing it. 
• Business is about that know, like and trust factor. It's about building rapport and people knowing what you  do. 
• We all come in to contact with around 200 to 300 hundred people per week as part of our daily lives and anything is possible if you get visible. 

BEST MOMENTS 

‘Do you believe a 7-year-old can know everything they are capable of achieving?' 

‘Because of that level of visibility, I made connections that took me on to be an award winner on the red carpet' 

‘I realised I had been continually talking about being resentful'

It's a return engagement for investor, mentor and business expert Roland Frasier, who joins Gavin this week to discuss the best ways in which you can identify trends in the marketplace, and tie your business to their tailwinds in order to achieve maximum exposure and growth. 

Sign Up Here: https://bit.ly/biz-pod

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Marketing is developing in terms of personalisation. The “spray and pray” mentality, which saw marketers putting ads out ad nauseum, has been replaced by highly targeted, personalised advertising that has a much higher success rate.  
• The evolution and streamlining of the customer checkout experience, is another area that has seen drastic improvement. The archaic experience of paying online is being refined and mastered, and in many cases can affect whether or not a customer sees their purchase through to the end.  
• Companies like Drift are developing highly advanced chatbots, which if done well, learn from the customer's responses and communicate in such a way that the customer feels as though they are dealing with a human.  
• Technological advances are fleeting. They should be used effectively. Adapting to new improvements that draw in customers and expedite the process will succeed.  
• As a small company, if you can afford to hire an agency who can develop on your behalf, then take advantage of that, as their knowledge base will be vastly superior to your own.  

• Solo-preneurs and smaller companies often innovate faster than smaller companies, because they are getting instant feedback from customers. Larger firms are so often constrained by the processes needed to react. 

BEST MOMENTS 

'Trends are tailwinds'  

‘How do you tie your business into that?'  

‘Customers don't want to be talked at. They want to be communicated with'  

‘Your growth is really dependant on an evolution of the product'  

‘You're getting the benefit of the incremental knowledge'  

'Those roles should not be siloed out'  

‘You look to create the things you need to be informed about'
