     KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Many see eCommerce sales as a quick way to make money, but Amazon provides an engaging, empowering platform for businesses to grow their brands.
    • Using foreign manufacturers for goods is wise as costs can be lower, but an eye must always be kept upon quality and rising shipping costs. Sometimes the trade-offs are not worth it.
    • This year, sales are set to hit one after the other, so keeping inventory high is essential for those looking to take full advantage of shopping trends.
    • Protect brand loyalty by implementing manual campaigns, examining search terms and including the top hits in any sponsored products campaign and sponsored brand campaign.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘It's a lot of investment and you really need to be building something more than a one-off project'

    'There's a lot of interesting categories that people wouldn't have expected to take off like they did'

    ‘Having enough inventory and marketing consistently is going to give you a huge opportunity to make a lot of sales'

    ‘You want to make sure your top sellers are showing up on all your product listing pages'

  • Buy, Build And Sell - Embrace Change And Think About Life After Your Business - with Lisa Kipps Brown

    Gavin is joined by Lisa Kipps Brown, the “business reimagineer” and “opportunity miner”, who's made it her mission to help entrepreneurs transform their business model and increase their company's market value using the web and strategic partnerships.

    In this episode Lisa talks about the ways in which we can embrace change in order to benefit the health of our business, the opportunities to be had once the business has been sold, and how you can make sure that your business is in the best possible shape for sale or acquisition.

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

     

     KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Entrepreneurs often begin their journey because they do not wish to be overseen by a boss, only to then find that the customers themselves are the boss.
    • Change can be scary, and many business owners refuse to embrace the benefits of technology due to their unwillingness to adapt to the new technological landscape. But they are missing huge opportunities if they do so.
    • Business owners do not seem to realise that over the course of their journeys, they have accrued the knowledge and experience to turn consulting into a lucrative revenue stream upon retirement, allowing them the freedom to work anywhere, and selectively.
    • Most people who buy a business want a concern that can be operated by someone they hire. Nobody wants to buy a job, so make sure your business is able to run through systems and processes that can easily be handed over.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘It can be really exciting to go back to what you want, instead of what you have to do'

    ‘What do you really want your life to be like?'

    'Start thinking about how you can position yourself as the expert'

    ‘People work in their business instead of on their business'

  • Scale Your Business By Harnessing The Power Of Marketing - with Kevin Urrutia

    Gavin is joined by entrepreneur and scale-up expert, Kevin Urrutia, the founder of Voy Media, a specialist in helping businesses to grow their revenue stream through creative digital marketing based around speaking “fluent internet”.

    Kevin discusses the ways in which the business landscape has changed, and how he grew and scaled his business into a multi-million dollar revenue concern.

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

     

     KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • In the nascent days of the internet, many businesses discounted the value of SEO. Kevin was able to be more forward-thinking, harnessing its power, and creating a position as one of the more knowledgeable players when its popularity took off.
    • We can only truly grow a business if there is a demand for the product out there. Too many build a product without first testing the market to see if it's required.
    • The most important thing is to be happy. If you feel the need to begin again in some other business, then the wise thing to do is to hire someone who can run the business for you, so that you can free yourself to pursue other adventures.
    • Systems and processes are the key to ensuring our businesses can run in the event of challenges. If we leave the running of the business to everyone without a roadmap, there is the danger of “too many cooks"

    BEST MOMENTS

    'SEO is still the best thing!'

    ‘It's really hard to make something when there's no demand'

    ‘You need to hire people who are experts at what they're doing'

    ‘Don't let the business run you - you need to run the business'

  • Jennifer Goldman On Increasing Productivity Through Integrating, Delegating, Eliminating, Outsourcing And Staff Recalibration

    This time, Gavin talks to business consultant, Jennifer Goldman of Jennifer Goldman Consulting, about the ways in which we can positively transform our organisations, by using her IDEOS system, essentialism and how it can increase workflow, and the benefits of staff recalibration.

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

     

     KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Leaders can follow the quantitative signs, and their gut instincts, when deciding to engage in business transformation. The gut instincts often come first, and manifest themselves in unhappiness and fatigue among the team.
    • Taking a step back and looking at the themes remaining following listing is incredibly useful in identifying the most important areas to focus upon. It can also categorise the tasks beneath others.
    • Delegation is essential in freeing up business space for yourself. There will always be tasks that remove you from the areas in which you excel.
    • Brain-dumping is an incredibly effective way of simply documenting ideas and inspirations that come at all times, without removing you from the tasks at hand. Learn to remove these ideas in a practical way so that they can be resumed when the time is right.

    BEST MOMENTS

    'The idea of delegating is to delegate with control, but not having to micromanage'

    ‘Is this activity in pursuit of that goal?'

    'We say that strategy doesn't pay for itself, but we all know that it absolutely does'

    ‘We have to be aware of where we, as leaders and owners, need to evolve'

  • Darryl Bates-Brownsword On The Things You Need To Do To Get Your Business Ready For Sale

    In this episode, Gavin talks to Darryl Bates-Brownsword, an expert in working with business owners in order to help them get the most from their life's work, so that they can exit on their own terms.

    Darryl discusses the ways in which you can ensure that your business is in prime condition for sale, allowing you to maximise the benefits for you when when the time comes to sell, and why branding might be far more important than you think.

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

     

     KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • You only get to exit a company once, so we must focus on maximising the potential for each sale. With patience and preparation, we allow our life's work to truly pay off.
    • Not all businesses that go to market actually sell. It's often assumed that selling a business is easy, but less than 50% of companies that are offered for sale, find an eventual buyer.
    • Employee ownership is often seen as a last resort for owners struggling to sell their business. The strategy is, in fact, remarkably beneficial to both owners and employees, and should be considered long before all other strategies are exhausted.
    • If we can make everyone in the business work to exactly the same process, and we become known for delivering this process to the marketplace itself, then the business becomes better known than the key individuals, making a sale far more attractive.

    BEST MOMENTS

    'The first misconception is that it's easy to sell a business'

    ‘Risk management is the name of the game'

    'Thinking this is going to be easy - big mistake'

    ‘What are the things that will add real asset value to your business, that will make it more attractive to a buyer?'

  • Daniel Mangena On Deliberate Creation And Why You Should Stop Meditating

    In order to achieve success, we must focus on not just the outer game, but the inner game. In this episode, Gavin talks to Daniel Mangena, a transformational life coach, speaker and author, about how to embody mindfulness, spirituality, and why it might be time to stop meditating and start taking action!

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

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • It is not enough to simply visualise success. We must, at some point, connect the spiritual to the physical in order to achieve any growth or success. 
    • We must take responsibility for the things we have created in our lives, and use deliberate creation to interrupt the path of unconscious creation.
    • In the morning, we should practice our visualisations for the short term, usually within the next 90 day period. At night, try to visualise further than that.
    • Become comfortable with silence and get used to spending time with yourself. Success is like a guiding missile. It is always course-correcting. By developing a relationship with ourselves, we can spot the moments that need our own correction.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘It's sad to see the massive potential of this space not being tapped'

    It's important to remember that we're not just energy beings'

    ‘All of these things need to be brought into alignment with a clear outcome for us to experience anything'

    ‘We have to accept and acknowledge the capacity that we have to consciously create'

  • Selling With Noble Purpose - with Lisa McLeod

    Gavin talks to author, advisor, consultant and speaker, Lisa McLeod, about her book, 'Selling With Noble Purpose', and the philosophy behind it, designed to accelerate revenue growth, increase competitive differentiation, and ignite emotional engagement.

    Lisa discusses the importance of sales teams having a “North Star” to guide them, why it's crucial to not just make a difference, but make a different difference from your competitors, as well as some invaluable parenting tips...

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

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Conversations about how we can better serve the customer, and how their experience will be enhanced and upgraded through the service or product you offer, fuels a belief and a narrative that you can take to the customer themselves.
    • Customers need to know that you care. More importantly, they can feel when you don't care. When all you're interested in is closing a sale, it will be sensed. If you are speaking passionately, and with purpose, it is far more effective.
    • Sales teams need a “North Star” to guide their pitches, not a firm anchor around every point being made. Build a sales narrative that is guided instead of anchored.
    • The world has changed irrevocably. It is possible that life will go back to normal, but drastic changes will come along with it. We need our teams to be knitted together by a core belief that they make a difference, instead of clinging in vain to an outdated sales model.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘What drives behaviour are beliefs'

    ‘Profits follow purpose'

    ‘You have to avoid the metric becoming the strategy'

    ‘You are not your business model'

  • Buy And Build - Structuring Protected Deals And Why Financial Engineering Matters - with Jeremy Harbour

    In the latest edition of Buy And Build, a series of conversations with experts in acquisitions, deal-making and investment, Gavin talks to Jeremy Harbour, founder of The Harbour Club, about the importance of structuring deals in a way that protects people and wealth, and why financial engineering is crucial.

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

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Structuring deals properly, with protections built in, is essential. A false move can see to it that we lose our personal assets. It's worth taking the time to make sure things are watertight.
    • As a consultant, we may well be better off by trading our services for equity, rather than simple payment. The rewards can be far greater by thinking creatively.
    • Taking capital out, creating capital events, are vital. Hanging on for too long can see values slide. You make money when you sell.
    • The Deal Pie structure begins with finding out the figure that an owner expects to receive in exchange for their business, followed by working out best we can give this value without spending cash. 

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘It's very easy to be seduced by the excitement of a purchase'

    'There are some fantastic opportunities. If you do them right, you can grow a year's worth of sales in one afternoon'

    ‘People don't want to give you the dusty painting from their attic and then find it was a Picasso'

  • Robert Syslo of Syslo Ventures On Building Brands And Marketing Campaigns And How To Create An Abundance Of Relevant Content

    In this episode, Gavin is in discussion with Robert Syslo of Syslo Ventures in Florida, brand and promotion experts, who offers a step-by-step guide on producing invaluable, empowering content on a day-to-day basis, and how by creating, he is able to more swiftly adopt the learnings into his own business.

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

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • We can make sense of a teaching by looking for the illogical, the missing arguments in a lesson. By seeking the illogical, we create logic.
    • Awareness of the type of content, the way in which it is presented, and most importantly, the channel through which the content is delivered, must always be considered. Content must be appropriate to its outlet
    • Social media should not be used as a means of consumption, but as a barometer to evaluate our own feelings on a subject, which allows us to determine if it can be applicable in our own businesses and lives.
    • By creating content, and teachings on a subject, we better learn about the subjects ourselves. The best way to learn is to teach.
    • Consistency breeds creativity. By incorporating content creation into each moment of each day, we become a limitless generator of content. It should never be seen as a chore, but as natural as breathing.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘If you can open up that far then you have a limitless supply of information'

    'The only businesses that will stand after COVD are those that promoted and stayed relevant'

    'Success leaves behind it a trail of clues'

    ‘The brand for me, is familiarity'

    ‘It's not an idea of “I need to make time for this”, it's part of my day. It's a muscle'

  • Rachel Martin On Using Instagram To Grow Her Accountancy Practice

    Instagram isn't perhaps the natural place to grow the reputation and reach of an accountancy business, but Gavin's guest today, Rachel Martin, did just that through creative thinking and innovative strategies. 

    In this episode, Rachel talks about using Instagram to grow your brand and company, as well as the importance of female visibility in business, and the impact of the global pandemic has had upon operations.

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

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • One in three entrepreneurs are female, and in the last twelve months, females made up 60% of the newly self-employed category. Female small business owners are now at 40%.
    • Only 7% of private equity and capital is invested in female-led businesses. The reasons for this bias are generally down to incorrect assumptions made about female-led businesses and fewer women in positions of seniority.
    • Impostor syndrome is one of the main factors holding entrepreneurs back. By talking openly about these fears, and identifying achievements in a more positive way, we can move through this feeling of self-doubt.
    • Social platforms are designed to encourage dopamine hits when someone interacts with us. As business owners, we can stop ourselves falling down the rabbit hole of social media by using services to schedule posts, and restricting use to certain parts of the day.
