ABOUT THE HOST

Nick James

Nick dropped out of university at the age of 21 and failed spectacularly with his first coaching business, which forced him to take a £16k/yr telesales job.

Within 12 months he was the top performer and left to start his second business at 24. This time he discovered a winning formula and before long had a multi-six-figure company.

He then made a huge mistake which nearly put him out of business and cost him £50,000 in personal cash!

Fortunately, Nick kept it afloat, turned it around, and sold that business 2 years later in a seven-figure deal.

He then co-founded a multi-million-pound marketing company, which he exited in 2015, and created Expert Empires.

Today, Expert Empires is known as the UK's number one business event for Experts, with world-renowned celebrity speakers like Gary Vaynerchuk, Grant Cardone, Chalene Johnson, David Goggins, and Lewis Howes gracing the stage.

• The belief you have in yourself is evidence-based, whether that evidence is wrong or right
• Its taking one step at a time out of your comfort zone
• Obsessing about the details and the one percent is what really matters
• We go in search of the big thing, that can be hard to find, but there are a hundred small things you can work on and control
• The key to a call to action is to say something that people haven’t heard before
• Salespeople are always trying to avoid transparency it’s become the most effective way to sell
• It's managing your expectations in life, regardless of external circumstances so that you can choose happiness every day
• The people who resist the temptation of having a label, so that society understands them are some of the happiest
• The tectonic plates of business will continue to change and there will be those who lean in and those who lean out

• Vulnerability, consistency and transparency together build sustained trust
• There is more trust when we have the humility to ask for help
• A high level of empathy is critical for others to see they are valued person to person
• Psychological safety creates the best environment for performance
• Being able to admit to mistakes publicly is crucial
• Share key data to give context and connect everyone to the ‘why’
• Everyone needs to know why their role exists and what’s expected of them
• True integrity, when you do what you say you will do, builds powerful trust

‘In business, it’s all about sustained trust’

‘A unified team is an unstoppable team’

‘Competency combined with trust is where the magic happens’

Very few people talk about the importance of environment but as Nick explains The environment where you spend the majority of your time is one of the most significant factors in you achieving what you want to in life and business

• When you’ve grown together the opportunity for collaboration and partnerships and joint ventures is far greater
• The most important aspect for creating an empowering environment is the people you spend time with
• As the business leader, you are both the greatest asset and potentially the biggest liability so showing up energetically is crucial
