Climbing With Scars

Selling – for some reason is labelled as a dirty word, however everyone sells whether they realise it or not. At some stage in everyone’s life they’ve sold and perhaps not even knowing it. Entrepreneurs, non-entrepreneurs and children do it without knowing as it’s one of life’s most natural activities. On this weeks episode of Climbing With Scars I share the facts of how everyday we sell, why those that understand the true value of selling win, and how selling moves us forward in business (and life) and we should never have any shame about it. Let’s sell.

The most precious commodity to us all is time and we all have 24 hours in the day given to us. On this week’s episode of Climbing With Scars I discuss how important it is to use your time to your advantage. And now is the time for all of us to be proactive and make time work for us in preparation for life post Covid-19, as the game is changing and won’t return to how it was before. The way we live and function, the way we do business, the way we learn, work and interact has changed forever. Join me where I share many insights on how to make time work for you by doing, not waiting. Enjoy. 

On this weeks episode of Climbing With Scars I tap into  our self-value. Whether you are a successful entrepreneur or somebody who is currently out of work or going through a sea change, we all have specific skills and experiences, but many haven’t identified the value about finding self-value and what it is worth to others. I go deep to share where the gems are within all of us to where we can add value to others and ultimately ourselves. Enjoy.  

In today’s current climate nobody is safe being stagnant, as life won’t return to how it was before.  Today’s episode I go deep into the changes that have been forced upon us with the way we interact and I share how we need to think about delivering greater value to our clients, work out their new pain points and how we can help them in the new world that has been thrust upon us.

With the current climate of global pandemic, we’re constantly compounded with negative content and media on a daily basis, leading many to live in fear of the worst. But life does present us with options to decide what we choose to focus on. This week I share my learning's of when we block the negative stuff out of our heads and challenge the fear we actually find a creative spark. While we’re in these times of slowdown, the opportunity is created to use this time to come up with that next big idea or have a re-focus and reflect on ourselves. Join me on this episode of Climbing With Scars where I deep dive into switching the fear into a creative boost.

What are the odds that podcast #119 would fall on the same week as the escalate of the COVID-19 crisis here in Australia? Today I felt that it was important to address what is currently happening in the world and share my thoughts on the situation at hand and lessons I’ve learned from other crises faced in the past. At first hand it is seen as a time of extreme stress and challenges, and it does remain this way for many, but there are ways to confront this situation from a different angle and entrepreneurs are usually proof of coming through the other side of a crisis with more to offer and give. Join me on this one where I go deep into the impact of COVID-19.

The fast-paced world is only moving faster, sometimes leaving many entrepreneurs feeling like they don’t have enough time to do “their thing”. Overwhelmed, stressed, unfulfilled…..

Today I’m sharing how I found my groove, listen in to this episode of Climbing With Scars to help find yours.

Now into the decade of my 50’s, I’ve reached a point of feeling the best I’ve ever been – and I mean that sincerely and seriously, but for many the stereotype of reaching 40+ signifies “game over”.  Age is a number, but too many entrepreneurs are letting “the number” dictate their thinking, behaviours and decisions that not only impacts their future but also creates limitations upon others. Join me on this episode of Climbing With Scars where I dowse the noise on limitations with age and share some facts around how ageing is the passage to winning.
