Entrepreneur and Investor Psychology School

Are you frustrated that you work too many hours? Want to spend more time with your family? Sadly, most entrepreneurs build businesses that can’t function without them. The result? They feel trapped, overwhelmed and overworked. Listen Now!

In today’s podcast, you’ll discover…

Are you someone who beats yourself up over your mistakes?  Do you criticise yourself and experience high levels of negative self-talk and self-doubt? This will be impacting your ability to perform well in business - as well as your evolve in your personal life. 

As a Business Coach with a keen interest in psychology, I understand only too well that you can't separate how a business owner thinks -  what they believe or their emotional dispositions - from how they run their business. And this is why I address these patterns of thinking and how to evolve them in my work with clients. 

Today I will show you how your inner critic has taken shape and how to turn your past mistakes into things to learn from rather than negative things that hold you back. In doing so, you will evolve as a person to be more accepting of yourself - and others. 

You will learn:

Running a business is a challenge that allows you to evolve and grow. But if you don’t have the ability to deal well with challenge and find yourself constantly retreating to an emotionally safe space, your business will suffer and you won’t be fulfilled as a person. 

To deal with challenge you need to deal with uncomfortable feelings that arise from your unconscious belief systems. They will question whether you’re capable of dealing with new things. 

Addressing these uncomfortable emotions, understanding where they’re coming from and having a clear vision of what you really want and what matters to you will help you overcome challenge and evolve not only as a business person but in life.

If you want to build a business that grows without you, you will need to get used to identifying and dealing with roadblocks.

A roadblock is an inefficiency or lack of resources that shows up under load at a certain time, usually when a business is starting to do well.

In most businesses I work with, the business owner themselves is the main roadblock. Because they control the day to day running of the business, when more clients come on board, they haven’t got the systems or team in place to deal with the extra workload. So they end up working all hours, carrying too many roles. 

In this show I demonstrate that roadblocks are a positive thing. They highlight what needs to change in your business - all you need to do is to fix the roadblock and that will improve operational efficiencies and the ability to scale your business.

Building a profitable business whilst working less requires a few key strategies to be implemented. These strategies will form the heart of your marketing to position you as an expert in your chosen field and bring you the kind of client who will make you more money.

The first of these is to build a scalable business model. By this we mean one in which you don’t trade time for money (there are only so many hours in a day!) on a one to one basis but where you can share your expertise more widely.

The second of these is to identify a high value target market who are in need of what you offer. Figure out what their key problem is and how you can solve it. If you focus ALL of your marketing on offering to solve that problem, you will be perceived as the expert rather than a generalist. What’s more, your target market will tune into your marketing messages and come to you for help.
