Catherine revisits one of the most downloaded episodes from the last 2 years with guest  Emma Dalton who created the freedom she wanted by moving from the corporate world and creating a successful eCommerce business.

Emma discusses the turning point and what it actually takes to get started with no money and create the type of business you want.

They discuss finding your passion and why all the knowledge and experience you have previously has value and can be transferred to new ventures.

There are always numbers that you have to know and it’s vital that even as a small business you plan as if you are a big business so the right systems and processes are in place, making it easier to successfully grow. This is a great insight with lots of advice on how to get started in business and design the life you want.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• I didn’t have the money to set up a business but I did have an overriding belief that everything will work out if you work hard enough.
• The essential numbers are turnover and profit margin growth month on month.
• The fundamentals are -  what profit am I making now and is it growing month on month?
• I started with around £50 and I focus on sourcing women’s unique fashion pieces through charity shops, online and car boot sales.
• If you want to get started, declutter your own wardrobe and treat it as a business. Use it as a learning opportunity to find out about the photography, whether you want to use the auctions or buy it now to sell and to gain experience of the whole selling process.
• My business moved to the next level when I took a conscious decision to review and put in place the right processes.
• I’ve leveraged my eBay business activity down to 3 days and increased my income by 3x through processes.
• Even if you are a small business plan as if you are a big business. if you have the right processes in place at the start it makes it much easier as you grow.
• Blocking time and being very structured about how I use my time has been the key to be able to use my time efficiently.
• The hardest part of business is saying ‘no’
• As an entrepreneur you know you are on a journey and moving ahead but it’s not always possible to see the destination all the time.
• I’ve always wanted a flexible living life and I want to have integrity in what I do.
• Find the thing the brings you joy; design the life you want and be honest about what you want.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Through effective leveraging when I have downtime for me it’s all for me’

 I’ve become much more aware of my values since being self-employed.

‘You can just start and you don’t buy any new stock until what you have is sold so there is no new money involved’

Cast your mind back to Episode #033 of Leveraged Lifestyle; Catherine explains how finding your Ikigai is an important part of leveraging your lifestyle.

Catherine has been reflecting on this episode and the content around IKIGAI! Specifically she wanted to preface it and revisit, to open a discussion with you the listeners (so make sure you get in touch and let Catherine know your thoughts and comments)

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Ikigai, the 4 concentric circles

The first circle is what you love, the second circle is what the world needs, the third circle is what you can be paid for and the fourth circle what you are good at.

Overlapping these are passion, mission, profession and vocation. In the centre of the circles is Ikigai.

• Ikigai

The Japanese believe that everyone has an Ikigai and it is the reason we want to jump out of bed in the morning.

There is no secret formula for finding happiness but there is one key ingredient the ability to reach a state of flow and through that state to have the optimal experience to find the Ikigai.

• Finding your flow

1. Challenging tasks

Completing tasks that are just out of your comfort zone.

If tasks are too easy it can lead to apathy. if the task is too hard you may give up

If it’s just challenging enough that’s where we find our flow.

1. A clear objective

Once the journey has begun its important to keep an overview of the objective but it’s key to focus on the flow.

When you have a clearly defined objective and focus on the process that’s when you find your flow.

1. Concentrate on a single task

Be in a distraction-free environment. You will feel calmer and have better power of retention and you will be able to achieve flow.

When we are multi-tasking productivity is less and we are more likely to make mistakes and feel stressed.

• Advantages of finding your flow

Your mind will be focused on the current task. It enables you to live in the present feel in control. Your mind will become clear and able to deal better with challenges.

Which activities in your life make you enter flow?

What do these activities that drive you to flow have in common?

Why do the activities drive you to flow?

• When you can answer these questions, you will be able to find your Ikigai

BEST MOMENTS

‘The more you are in flow the closer you are to your Ikigai’

‘Finding that mix of passion, mission, profession’

‘More than just systems and processes, Its everything you want to create’

‘Feel like there is nothing more important than the single task you have chosen to complete’

‘Starting with a ritual and end with a reward’

‘Tasks that stretch our skills’

This episode marks the second year anniversary of the Leveraged Lifestyle podcast and Catherine has some great birthday giveaways for listeners along with one of the most popular guests from the previous 100 plus episodes – Jackie Tomes, Property Strategist.

Jackie built a portfolio worth over 6 million in just over 6 years and achieved all of this before she reached her thirtieth birthday. Jackie has extensive knowledge and expertise in the property sector and shares some great advice on what makes a difference when you are starting out in property and how to move successfully through the levels of business.

Jackie wants renting to be better than buying and with a value-driven company she is building new and better ways of doing things and inspiring others.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We have built a business that we can remove ourselves from because our vision at the start was about being able to travel.
• We help others build great property businesses that are systemised and have the right processes in place.
• It’s about achieving a balance that works for you and if your business is set up in the right way you can be away from it.
• A leveraged lifestyle is about both mindset and skillset coming together successfully.
• You have to double up on work to be able to get to a point where you can work less.
• It’s important that you are able to work smart as well as working hard.
• How you set up working with your remote team and using technology effectively is key. 
• When people start in property they often spread themselves across several different strategies but you should have a specific focus.
• Simplify and focus so that you are able to successfully go through the different stages of business as you grow.
• When you don’t have any money, you focus on getting money for yourself and that’s not the right approach when working with investors.
• It’s about asking what value can I give? What can I offer my client?

BEST MOMENTS

‘The quality of our team who are all behind a shared vision is quite magical’

‘It’s all about having a combination of processes, systems and brilliant people in the right roles for them’

‘If you rent there is amazing flexibility’

“I’m on a path to try and live a life I love and am proud of’

Catherine reflects on how, as an entrepreneur, it can be easy to always be thinking about your business and your family but never yourself. She shares some practical advice that can be implemented to help anyone to take a pause and clear their head.

Taking action for yourself can be a challenge but clearing your head and enjoying some time exclusively for you will ultimately help both you and your business to perform better.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A leveraged lifestyle is about freedom of thought and being able to live the life you want to for you.
• Creating opportunities to pause, get out of your own head and enjoy being you is a crucial part of a leveraged lifestyle.
• Get outside, enjoy nature and be present in the moment.
• Get out and move, our bodies are made to move so any kind of movement is a positive whether its active or relaxation.
• Meditate to find your inner calm, it’s an opportunity to be still, stop being busy and clear your thoughts.
• Listen to music, create a playlist and enjoy your favourite songs to help you clear your head.
• Spend time with family and friends and fill up your levels well-being and positivity.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Make it about being in the moment’

‘Get out there and get moving’

‘I’m often in my head thinking about business, family but never just about me’

Welcome back to Leveraged Lifestyle’s “Break without a break” where we look back at some of the most impactful episodes of the podcast from the very beginning!  

In this episode, Catherine takes you through the importance of setting deadlines and gives you five ways to help you set hard and fast deadlines so that you can really get done what you need to, whether that's in business, in your personal life or in work. Hop in to learn about this and much more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Five ways that you can set hard and fast deadlines.

• Number one is to get a version one out there right now. Don't over-think it. Don't just think I will do it by the end of the week or I’ll do it tomorrow, if you've got some content in you maybe it could be a Facebook Live, a podcast episode, maybe a blog that you've been thinking about for ages, get it written, get it recorded, get your camera out, get your phone out whatever it might be, and just do it right now.

• Number two is to book something as a reward for getting the thing done. Something really nice, like a holiday, maybe travelling for a few weeks, it could be getting yourself a new piece of equipment, a nice iPad or Mac or something like that, a new phone, something that might also help within the business.
• Number three is set a day and then get accountable make it public. Let people know that you've got something coming whether that's a new product for your online store whether that's getting your online store set up whether that's on Amazon or Shopify.

• Number four. How about rather than setting a pleasure award we set up something that's going to cause some pain. One of the ways one of my business mentors do this is when he's writing a book he will set a date and then pay for people to come in to proofread the final draft of the book.

• Number five is having something in place that can't be moved. Maybe an event date that's out there already booked the venue, maybe it's a book launch and you've got the launch date all set and it's all set up on Amazon. Maybe it's the launch of your products.

BEST MOMENTS

• “There is no better time than now to get something out there.”
• “When you do something nice, reward yourself.”
• “Have something in place that cannot now be moved because you just put too much into it.”
• “There is no better time than now to start creating your leverage lifestyle.”
