Financial Judgement

Welcome to another celebratory episode of The Let’s Talk Money and more podcast. I am celebrating a whole 12 months of the podcast and also the fact we are now adding male guests to the lineup – starting with a week long series of male guests.

All week, I will be sharing with you, 7 great men in my network and today is no exception. Ollie Carson is father to 3 beautiful children, a partner and founder/head coach of Supercharged Fitpro. Supercharged Fitpro helps busy, frustrated personal trainers build thriving online businesses so they have more impact, income and freedom.

I have had the pleasure of working with a number of Ollie’s clients and they really are not only Supercharged, but a super group of people too.

Key Takeaways

It’s all about perspective. Your money story is your super power. Having experience both positively and negatively puts you in a position to empathise with people and level with them. which enables you to have a deeper connection and relationship.

Having an open dialogue starting at a young age about money whether it’s as simple as saving, a basic understanding, or its value, would immensely help build the foundation you can rely on as an adult.

Learn to live with it within your means. Learn to understand the intricacies of managing your money and learn to reinvest in such a way that builds your wealth over time.

There isn't a handbook that an A-Z of how to run a business successfully. It’s not one and done. Mistakes are made from day one. And these mistakes allow us to recognise and assess our relationship with money, our money mindset and how to grown and learn from it.

It's really important to understand what is triggering you, and why are you triggered. Because it's more likely to be a reflection of something else that is going on for you and relating to your self worth and self value.

Today’s episode is the first of a week’s long celebration of 12 months of the podcast and my decision to include male guests as part of the podcast going forward. Some would say a long overdue addition, I would reframe that as, perfectly timed….

Today’s guest reflects the journey that I have been on over the last 12 months, since the podcast was launched exactly 12 months ago today. My first episode was a solo episode, the 2nd was my very first guest…Penny Power OBE. So it seems only fitting that my 1st male guest, should be Penny’s husband, Thomas Power.

Thomas is a powerhouse of a man, and more than that he is a super connector. Building Community inside Corporates and Connecting Business Owners is his and Penny’s focus. Uniting the two being the outcome. Thomas passionately believes in Community Led Growth (CLG) supporting people to grow themselves, their health, their mind, their business and increasingly their organisation. All three of his and Penny’s children support them in their endeavour of Community Building in three different ways.

Key Takeaways

Holding non executive and consultant positions in several boards, Thomas Power have seen companies succeed and failed. Even in 15 companies, only two of them made it the other 13 didn't. And that failure wasn't necessarily anything to do with one’s ability, skill or desire, but a lot of it is to do plainly with the reason most companies just don't make it. 

Thomas described billionaires as people who have tremendous skill. They have tremendous ability, incredible minds, incredible thinking ability, negotiating ability, workability, and all have incredible memories. Brutal even to some extent.

There are a lot of factors why financially successful individuals are brutal or aggressive on their approach. These driving force can be perhaps the absence of parental support, being unloved as child, having no recognition or no identity. And whatever it may be creates a burning desire to create an outcome, positively or negatively. 

The profile difference between a billionaire and a millionaire is interesting and absolutely massive. It’s common for billionaires to always working against the clock, trying to get things done before they die. Whereas millionaire profiles are trying to reach a state of comfort for their families or their lifestyles. 

To have a better relationship with money, your self worth should always comes intact first. Everything else is secondary, it will come to you as a result of what you do, who you do it with and why you do it for.

This week on the Let’s Talk Money and more podcast. I am talking with another fantastic guest. Nicolene Elhadad is a multi-faced, self made millionaire and has grown her empire from the ground up. She is a mum of 3 children and the owner of 7 different businesses.

Nicolene strives to live her best life, full of energy and passion, doing everything she loves. Known as the Franchise Queen, Nicolene believes in expanding your business and wealth, through multiplying what you already have and doing it in a simplified and fun way.

Key Takeaways

Money doesn't have any power above us. It's the power that we give to money.

It's vital to have the awareness, right understanding and right relationship with money at the youngest age possible.

Supporting children to know the possibilities and that they can have what they want but only if they respect money (how they earn and grow it) and work smartly.

As entrepreneurs we have the ability to make choices and decisions. And that’s where we truly become empowered. When we start to live our life, on purpose and towards our purpose.

You don’t have to be the next McDonald's or the next Starbucks. But you can be a brand that creates that safety, that formula, that business in a box model that actually suits loads of other people out there.

Having confidence with money starts with having confidence with yourself. So much self confidence is required, in order to have more money, to attract more money, to feel confident to invest and spend that money.

When you are struggling, having a challenge or a big issue, look at it in perspective where you enjoy, appreciate, and learn from what’s at hand. Know that you are not going to be there again, everything is growing and evolving. It’s all about the attitude.

In this week’s episode of the podcast, I share details of a powerful reminder of how our own internal conversations, can be holding us back from achieving the results we want to see in our business.

An equation was shared with me several months ago, and that is, P = P – I. P is for Performance, and your performance equals your Potential minus Interferences. 

Performance is the overall performance of your business, with the second P being the ultimate potential of that business, in terms of the revenue it's making, the impact it's having, and then the I is the interferences, those external or sometimes internal interferences that is preventing your business from ultimately achieving the best performance that it can. 

Key Takeaways

Our relationship with money, the internal conversation that we are having with ourselves about money is all impacted by our sense of self worth, and self value.

It’s important in businesses to be visible. To be the front and center of minds when it comes to potential clients, seeing what we do, understanding the results that we can bring, and recognising that we are the company to help them achieve those results.

It’s is important to be able to recognise interferences, even before they actually become an interference. There needs to be a mechanism in place where we should pause, review what’s going on, not only in our business directly, but also in our niche and industry as well.

By understanding the gaps and what you can do to alleviate those gaps gives you the best chance to take that intentional action and stay ahead in your business and industry.

Ask yourself these questions: What are those interferences that you know are currently holding you back in your business? What is stopping you and your business from achieving its full of potential? And what are you going to do about them?

My guest this week is Heather Angell, a successful business owner and mum of two young children. 

Heather has true empathy for people that are feeling completely overwhelmed, unfulfilled & stuck in a life that they know could be so much bigger, bolder and brighter.

Since leaving the corporate rat race in 2015 Heather has been helping highly ambitious business owners around the world reclaim their time, energy and sense of purpose through private mentoring, consulting, speaking events & online programs.

Heather's unique approach empowers people to leave self-doubt, fear and uncertainty behind and grow a joyful, fulfilling, profitable and sustainable business on their terms.

Key Takeaways

Sometimes it’s the protectionism approach that has the biggest part in what harms us in our relationship with our own self worth, self value, how we grow our own revenue with our businesses.

Your self worth and how your confidence around money are absolutely linked. However, your self worth should have nothing to do with the figure that's in your bank account, you are worthy, regardless of what the number is.

It’s important to define what success means to yourself. And also give yourself permission that the definition of success evolves.

It’s important to celebrate your own success as well as other people’s success. By celebrating others you are shown that something is possible, what you need to do is to learn to mute that voice in your head, that tries to take away from that person’s success. 

Find all motivation in yourself to able to recreate what others have done and shift your mindset and tell yourself, ‘If they’ve done it, I can do it.”

Money blocks is a terminology that has developed over the years, giving people the excuse not to look internally at why are they undervaluing themselves. There's nothing blocking you other than yourself, and other than your belief in your ability to do or go after something.
