Building a business isn't easy but we are bombarded with messages that its a simple, painless process to become super successful.

Well, in our combined experience of over 50 years we see something very different.

We both feel passionately that building a business should be something anyone who feels they have an entrepreneurial desire should be able to take one.

But we want them to go into it with their eyes open.

This episode, one of several on this subject, is a very personal and value packed episode where we share our experiences of building successful businesses and what we believe is important in the journey you will go on as a new business owner.

All the research shows that women are more willing to undergo more training and learning than men in similar situations.

We wrestle with why that might be the case and why it's so important to understand the mindset behind that behaviour.

Paul talks about biases around this behaviour and how it can drive women to feel they need to continuously prove themselves against men. (Paul specialises in working with unconscious biases, if you want to know how biases affect your life and how you can overcome them you can contact Paul at www.dnaneuroanalytics.com).

We discuss the idea that more training isn't always the answer to growing your business, in fact, it can hold it back.

We talk about the role society and culture plays.

This one is very much a tale from two sides!

It's common practice to offer a potential client a freebie to help win the business but there is a line between it being a positive tool for business development and it becoming something that does exactly the opposite and hurts your business development.

We look at this in detail and share our experiences, both good and bad, to help you avoid the freebie trap that damages your business.

The first episode of 2025!

Why do we use the New Year as a time to put the plans into action?

We chat about where procrastination comes in when we choose a date in the future (Jan 1st is the most common point for this).

We look at the discipline we need to get the planning done by a particular date.

Paul talks about how planning can be maintained by using the trigger reward loop to keep on top of it.

We break it down to make the commitment to hitting the key date you have set yourself.

Overcommitting is one of the greatest risks in plan execution.

It's the end-of-the-year episode.

As business owners, planning should be second nature.

Fail to plan is planning to fail as they say.

When it comes to planning there is a big question...

Whose expectations are you trying to live up to in your planning?

Your expectations for your business or the pressure from outside influences?

We look at planning from a practical and real perspective and how a world of immediate gratification colours our view of planning for success.

If you are in the midst of planning this might be the episode that sheds light on how to approach planning with a winners mindset.

Lindsey has a bee in her bonnet!

( just don't mention the budget 😁).

Knee-jerk decisions seem to be everywhere and we have decided its time to look at knee-jerk as a strategy...or not.

- Do knee-jerk decisions have a place in business?

- Are panic moments a driver for poor business decisions?

- Knee-jerk is driven largely by how people feel, not always what they think, can that be a good thing?

- The role social media has in driving knee-jerk reactions

A very direct episode that deals with the tricky subject of making quick, knee-jerk decisions, that really do work for us rather than against us.

There are consequences to every action we take and the decisions we make.

The question is do we always consider the consequences when we make a decision?

Even if the decision is to do nothing.

We wrestle with the idea that consequences and outcomes are the same thing or not!

We talk about owning the consequences.

We end up with strong opinions on this one, have a listen and give us your view and opinion.

When things don't go to plan our default can be to simply do more...

- more marketing

- more admin

- more qualifications

The list goes on...

Eventually, it starts to feel like it's from a place of desperation.

One critical area of this is the dreaded ... lowering your prices to get more sales.

We talk about why this isn't the best plan when it comes to building income.... not by a long shot!

We explore this idea of doing more and expect that to solve our immediate problems.

This is an area close to mine and Lindsey's heart as we see too many business owners falling into this rabbit warren and we want that to stop.

Therefore on an incredibly rare occasion, we offer our services directly, and this is one of those occasions.

If you want help to get your business back on track and stop simply doing more book a no obligation call with either of us on the following links:

We all know having a 'why' is important, certainly for your business, but what if your 'why' becomes the problem?

How would you know?

We started out to record an episode about what isn't a 'why' and it quickly morphed into the idea that 'could your why become the problem?'

Grab a beverage of your choice and have a listen.

This episode went places even we didn't expect.
