Elite Entrepreneur

Why do some people succeed, why do some fail? Why do some companies succeed and others don't?

Lots of research has been done and books written about this, but for host Niel Malan, it comes down to one thing: Client Success.

Look at it this way: People don't buy a product or service for the product or service… they buy it to achieve an outcome, a particular result. 

For example, why does someone buy a drill? It's not because they want a hole in the wall, it's because they want to hang a picture of their family or a painting.

If you are the drill manufacturer, you will only be successful if you can help your clients achieve the result they want.

In this episode of Elite Entrepreneur, Niel looks at why client success rather than client service is the true measure of a company's success.

Entrepreneurs are usually absolutely awful at taking care of themselves.

The reason for this is that the type of person who becomes an entrepreneur is usually someone who is driven to helping other people by making a difference.

Entrepreneurs will do anything for other people – for their children, their partner, their friends, their employees, their clients...

As a result, without realising it, entrepreneurs are awful at self-care.

In episode 21 of the Elite Entrepreneur show, we look at an important business issue: "your business cannot outperform you".

Entrepreneurs go out and take the risks and make investments and deal with curveball after curveball. This results in your health taking a toll, stress levels go too high, you are not sleeping properly, etc.

And before you know it, you are hitting burnout, the fatigue sets in, and eventually your performance goes down. And because you are less productive, you have to work more. Next, exercise goes out the door, diet goes out the door… it's a vicious cycle.

What do you do when you are in that spiral? Watch or listen to the episode...

If you have been listening to the Elite Entrepreneur show, you would know that host Niel Malan is very open and honest about his professional and personal life.

He's shared his ups and downs, including his struggles with ADD; and in case you didn't know, his company (Elite Inc.) is an open book – they share everything from profits and losses to income statement.

While Niel has been operating like this for years, he realises that this is not how it is in the rest of the world… at least for the most part.

That's why this episode of the Elite Entrepreneur show, he looks at why transparency is so refreshing and necessary, especially in the age of distrust that we are living in.

It's time for an action plan!

In the previous six episodes, we have been taking a look at different freedoms – but we don't want to just listen to ideas, we want to implement the knowledge.

In this episode of the Elite Entrepreneur show, I round up our previous discussions, and focus on one or two key actions from each episode that you can take… it's a roadmap to your own freedom.

Surprise episode! Before we wrap up our series on the Five Freedoms, host Niel Malan introduces a bonus topic: Physical Freedom.

We are often not aware of our mortality, because it doesn't confront us every day. We often don't take care of our health the way we should and we leave things too late.

Then one day, something happens… a heart attack, a stroke, cancer… and it's a wake-up call. You realise you need to think about your health differently.

In this episode, Niel looks at how to change your mindset about physical health, and how you can ensure sustainability in your efforts and everyday lives.

Why do we want what we want? Why do we want a certain car, more money, a big house, a retirement fund, good schools for our children, a better physique, etc?

A lot of people would say it's going to help them achieve something… something else. But why do you want something else? In the end, it's all about a feeling – it's going to make them feel successful, it's going to make them feel accomplished, it's going to make them feel like they are going to make a difference in this world.

Freedom is an emotion more than anything else. It's a state of being.

In this episode, host Niel Malan explains why he believes that emotional freedom is the most important of the Five Freedoms we have been discussing.

Is emotional freedom influenced by the other freedoms? Absolutely. But is it a requirement to have all the other freedoms to have emotional freedom? Absolutely not.

One of the things that I hear the most from entrepreneurs who want to start their own business is that they feel they are not in control of their own time anymore.

It seems like every year you need to give more of yourself to do well, you wake up a bit earlier to beat the ever-worsening traffic, you find there's more work to do... day after day, from morning until night, you are rushing from one thing to the next.

It takes an emotional and physical toll, and suddenly you find yourself overwhelmed, with no idea what to do about it.

In this episode, I take a look at why having more free time is important, including how it can improve your health and help you figure out what meaningful goal you are working towards in life.

Why would you spend hours every day in the car or bus or train, travelling to and from work? Why waste your time on things that are not meaningful?

In episode 14 of the Elite Entrepreneur show, we have a special guest, host Niel Malan's wife Candy, who joins him to talk about Location Freedom.

Imagine you could choose where you want to live because you do not have to worry about being near an office, being able to work from home (or anywhere in the world!), not being stuck in traffic every day, and being able to travel for pleasure or working holidays.

All of this is possible with a digital business.
