James: James Schramko here. Welcome back to our incredible series. You know really, it's quite exciting and revolutionary. Certainly for a lot of people listening to this, it's a first exposure or second exposure to this whole idea of DNA. This Optimum Strategy to Health and Fitness Series with my good friend Jonny Deacon has been mindblowing for me. Welcome back Jonny.

Jonny: Hi James. We're nearly at the end of the marathon.

James: It's amazing! It's like a massive workout. It's been certainly a long series. If you just arrived at this episode, you need to go back and listen to episode one, which is where we just covered DNA and Jonny introduced why we might be interested in it, what it is, we did DNA 101, how you can get out of that one-size-fits-all scenario and go to a more personalized training program. And we even covered my own fitness report, which was eye-opening.

Then we moved to the podcast two, where we talked about the foods that I should and shouldn't eat, and how my body processes everything, from caffeine through to vitamins and toxins. That was really interesting. We also covered the psychology, how we actually approach our training.

Then we're here right now in podcast number three of this series. In this one, we're going to be talking about the three pillars. Why discovery, leveraging pain, and the power of habit. So I'm going to hand over to you Jonny to take us home.

Jonny: Thanks James. I'd really like to kick this off by asking the question, what makes people give up and go from the impossible to possible? I believe it's centered around people really moving from shoulds into musts. Now for me, musts are about creating things which allow us to be pulled towards our desired results. In this case, with our health and fitness, these are actually getting up and running with three critical elements in and around these musts.

Discovering your purpose

James: James Schramko here. Welcome back to SuperFastBusiness.com. We are knee-deep in a journey into DNA fitness. We're in The Optimum Strategy to Health and Fitness Series with Jonny Deacon, and this is part two. To do part two, I need Jonny Deacon. Are you there mate?

Jonny: How are you James?

James: I'm actually, really good. Thanks in large part to my little, small army of health supporters who seem to be band together to work on me, the person, the body, to get me more flexible, to get me stronger, and fitter, and healthier. You've been a big part of that lately, Jonny. In our first episode, which if you haven't listened to, go back and listen to. Our part one was about why are we looking at this whole DNA thing. What is the connection to understanding ourselves with our fitness and what we eat? Why is that so important? So go back and listen to that episode if you haven't listened to it.

This episode, we're going to be revealing my diet report. So if you've been following along, in the previous episode, we were talking about my fitness report and what the DNA of my core structure is. We also talked about why a lot of health and fitness programs don't work and where DNA is going and how useful that is. We're also going to get into the mindset, the psychology of how we incorporate this fitness stuff. We're going to talk about Kolbe in this episode. So we're buckling in for an interesting ride.

In fact, in episode three of this series, we're going to be having a look at the three pillars of how you can have a great lifetime habit. I'm very excited about everything that's coming. There's been some developments too, Jonny, even since we last spoke.

Jonny: Yes James. I'm really excited to hear all the feedback. Certainly from my end,

Transcription:

James: James Schramko here, welcome back to SuperFastBusiness.com, and this is the third part of a three-part series, for the Are You Legal? series. If you've just arrived at this episode and you haven't heard episode one and two, please go back at SuperFastBusiness.com or in iTunes and have a look for Are You Legal?

Part one, we were talking about setting the foundations, having the right structure. We talked about intellectual property and what to do with staffing agreements, onshore and offshore.

In episode two, we talked about the key agreements that you need to have in your business, and we prepared a fantastic guide, and my co-host on this series, Joanna, gave us some resource as well, things that you need to look for in your business, and we also talked about how to get your cash flow ticking along nicely. So it's a very important episode to listen to.

Today, we're at part three, which is about building your business to sell. So we're going to be talking specifically about the legal aspects involving a business sale, what you should be aware of, why this is important, and I'm going to introduce my co-host in the series, Joanna Oakey from aspectlegal.com.au. Welcome.

Joanna: Thanks James, thanks for having me back.

James: My pleasure. We've had some great comments in the previous episodes, some people have mentioned that they've gone and made some changes to their business as a result of some of the things we talked about in the earlier episodes.

Joanna: Right.

James: Business up for sale, we hear about that. A lot of my students are buying businesses, and some of them are selling businesses, so it's something that's always going on. And of course one of the greatest investments we might ever make is in building our own business, and one day we might sell it for a profit, or multiples of its annual profit. So there's a lot of issues that come around, and I've been through this process a few times this year already.

Why look at the legal side?

So I would love to know,

James: James Schramko here. Welcome back to SuperFastBusiness.com. Today, we're talking the optimum strategy to health and fitness. It's a series, and I'm doing it with my friend Jonny Deacon from the UK. Welcome to the call.

Jonny: Hi James! How are you?

James: I'm doing well, thanks Jonny. Part of it is thanks to you. You've been helping me out with some fitness and some ideas, some stretching videos. Today, you're going to be revealing my special plan. But first, I just want to let our listeners know why we're at this situation and give some backstory. Firstly, you can be contacted at MyDNACoach.com. I'm speaking with Jonny Deacon. He's an expert at health and fitness, but also, he's taking it into this new phase where you're combining an understanding of DNA, which is our genetic makeup and a few other things, which we'll get into in the show. If you haven't listened to the first episode series that I did with Anita Chaperon, go back and listen to that first before the show, where I talk about my discovery of how DNA can really change the way we think about ourselves.

From my own perspective, I'd built up my business to a successful level after a long career, I quit that, started my own business, built that up, created some income resource for myself, I created some time resource for myself and focused more on things like relationships and passions. Of course anyone listening to this podcast knows I like to surf. But what I found was my body was in a lot of pain, and it got to the point where I eventually had to go off and get an MRI scan. You know I'd tried massages, I'd tried chiropractors, I tried lots of things and everyone was telling me to eat green juices, and do this, and do that, and get a foam roller, and it was all very helpful. People in my community have been super helpful.

There's been a few key players.

Can a DNA test help you get fit and healthy?

Transcription:

James: James Schramko here. Welcome back to SuperFastBusiness.com. Today, I'm speaking with Russ from Design Pickle about creativity, and also I think we're going to go a bit deeper and talk about business strategies, because there's a real story behind this. So welcome to the call, Russ.

Russ: Hey, thank you so much.

James: Russ, it's strange talking to you when I'm used to seeing you in a pickle costume.

Russ: [laughs] I'm actually a retired pickle now. I've since hired folks. That's sort of the initiation here at Design Pickle as you must become the pickle.

James: That sounds tremendously motivating. So we're doing this interview. You know those guys in the side of the road dressed up as a hotdog. You're going to be able to do that.

Russ: It is, it is. It really tests the culture really fast to see what they respond.

James: I think one thing from a creativity aspect is that I do see little snippets of you on the social media. I don't think I've actually met you, but I have seen you online with Ezra's feed, and that's one of the reasons we're talking. I'm interested in finding out how can someone who's got their own business step away from the computer and actually get known to their audience. I mean it's a big question, and I'm going to guess that a lot of my audience are not going to strap on a pickle suit or whatever variation of a pickle that they might have for their business, you know, slightly different, perhaps a gherkin. They could be design gherkin, design onion. Do you think once that spot is taken that it's harder for someone else to come and do their own thing?

Russ: Well you know, the pickle is really a reflection of me. Not only do I love pickles, I basically wanted to do something with a brand with my next business that was just simply fun and light-hearted because that's sort of my personality. I'm a fairly, easy-going person. So that's where I would always direct people to look. Like what is your vegetable or pickled item of choice? Maybe it's not a cucumber, maybe it's a mushroom or something, but being able to find that and extrapolate that, that has been why we've been successful, not because we're super creative. It's just because it's really authentic to who I am and then the team around me who all sort of share this fun personality.

James: Does it have to be fun? I think that's a great articulation by the way, how you ended up with a pickle. It's a representation of you, your character. I'm guessing it's a way in my brand, it's a representation of me and my character. Silv...
