Parentrepreneur Podcast

In this week’s inbetween-a-sode Michael has something to get off his chest. Tired of seeing people who claim to be entrepreneurs, but in reality don’t do anything, Michael has identified four bad habits all these people share. He’s going to break them down for you in this show so that you don’t fall into the trap of talking about it and not doing it.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Michael’s first tip is to develop good habits and consistency. He talks about the importance of spreading your work out over the week and creating a schedule. 

• Michael’s second tip is to break large tasks down into smaller, measurable targets. 

• Michael’s third tip is to stop planning and start working. Stop talking ‘what if’s’ and ‘yes, but’s’ and put your plan into action. 
• Michael’s fourth tip is to take risks. You will only learn from your mistakes, so don’t play it safe all the time, be brave enough to take a leap and see where it takes you. 

BEST MOMENTS
“Swap the chat and the planning for action.”
“You can’t just declare yourself an entrepreneur and expect success to fall into your lap.”
“How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.”
“GSD - Get Shit Done.”

"Connecting People has Real Value."

ABOUT THE GUEST

Andy Tait aka “Coach Taiters” found himself in a bad place both physically and mentally. He was coming out of an unhappy relationship, he didn’t do any exercise, and he was turning to food for comfort.

He realised that he needed to do something to regain control of his health. However, at this point in his life, he wasn’t a personal trainer, he didn’t have a nutrition certification, and he had no idea where to start.

He jumped around from diet to diet because he didn’t understand the principles of sustainable weight loss. So despite his efforts, he was on an unsuccessful journey because he got caught up in the over-restrict and over-consume cycle.

With the knowledge he has now, he could have saved himself years of frustration, and could have gained the physique and fulfilment he has today in a much shorter period of time.

Fast forward 10 years of working in the fitness industry. He wants to help you accomplish your health and fitness goals so that you can feel confident in yourself, reduce anxiety, and live a long and healthy life

Welcome to another ‘Inbetween-a-sode”. This week Michael talks about the importance of getting started with that great idea…of stopping thinking about and just doing it…of ‘Getting off your Backside.’

He talks about the motivations you need and shares his seven tips that will help you to make a start now so you can start to see the benefits. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Michael talks about the importance of your motivation. What is the motivation that is specific to you and drives you to do the one thing you want to do? Know it, learn it and keep it in your mind at all times.

• ‘Be Clear on your Niche’ - What is the thing that you are great at, the thing that your family and friends always come to you for advice for. More often than not, that is the thing that entrepreneurs monetise and become successful at. 
• ‘Put yourself Out There’ - In this modern world of social media there is more opportunity than ever for people to shout about what they do. Even though it might feel uncomfortable at first you’ll soon see the rewards, and, you can guarantee that your competitors are doing it!
• ‘Provide Value’ - Your clients will be more receptive to you and your company if you provide true value for services. To find out what that means to them, simply ask them. Look for patterns in their behaviour or turn your problems into solutions and offer those as a service. 

BEST MOMENTS

“When you have a strong enough ‘why’, the ‘how’s’ will take care of themselves.”

“Don’t let the minority spoil your party.”

“Offer free resources. That will help build trust with your potential customers.”

"Connecting People has Real Value."

Welcome to another ‘Inbetween-a-sode”. In this week's show, Michael is looking at a question that plays on his mind, “How to run a successful business and be a good parent?” 

So take a 15 minute break, relax and let Michael help you find some answers. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Being a parent is hard. Running a business is hard. But the two together? That can feel overwhelming. Can you balance them, is it even possible? Michael gives his thoughts on this and shares a few tips that might help you to feel less overwhelmed. 

• Michael shares his tips on prioritising, both in his work life and home life so that he can create a healthy work / life balance. Especially his 3 tier system of “Do, Delegate or Dump”
• What are you worth an hour? Once you calculate this number you can make decisions on whether or not it is efficient to employ someone else to take care of something for you, cleaning or gardening for example. You might find that that both saves you money and increases the time you can spend with your family. 
• Learn to say no. Michael talks about how being brave enough to say no to certain opportunities can lead to improvements in your business and your relationship with your family. 

BEST MOMENTS

“You only have one chance with your kids, for your business, you’ll have many.”

“When you’re faced with anything that doesn’t align with your goals and principles, don’t be afraid to say no.”

“Every minute counts, work smarter, not harder and make the most of your time.”

"Connecting People has Real Value.”

This week Michael is joined by David Whitmarsh, chief executive of renewable energy business ‘Standard Gas Technologies’. David went from being a chartered surveyor to setting up his own company in a long established sector, whilst being a father to two daughters. In this interview he shares his life lessons, his mistakes and his advice for anyone who is considering ‘taking the leap’.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• David talks about his journey from being a chartered surveyor, a job he took because he thought it would provide a nice lifestyle, through to joining the parachute regiment and how that gave him the clarity he needed to take a ‘leap of faith’ and follow his true calling to becoming an entrepreneur. 

• David talks about setting up a new company in a long established industry, energy. And how his, and his teams, desire to deliver something new and different provided many challenges and how they overcame them.  
• David muses on how being a parent has affected his life as an entrepreneur and visa versa. He discusses, with Michael, how he sees risk in a whole new way now that he has to provide for not only himself, but his children as well.  
• The guys talk about the difficulties of juggling parenthood and entrepreneurship. How does one affect the other? Is it really that easy to switch from one to the other at 9am and then switch back at 5pm? And, what lessons have they learned that they can pass onto you?

BEST MOMENTS

“As an entrepreneur you’re going to face setbacks, it’s how you respond to those setbacks that will define you.”

“Unless you’re prepared to do something different, you’re never going to break new ground.”

“To make a difference you have to change things.”

“The most valuable thing you can give your children is your time.”

"Connecting People has Real Value."

Welcome to the first ‘Inbetween-a-sode” These are short episode that we will be releasing in between our longer episodes with featured guests.

This week, Michael is going to run you through his “NOT to do list” of stressful and common habits that entrepreneurs need to eliminate. So sit back and enjoy a bite-sized episode packed full of useful tips. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Don’t let emails and texts annoy your routine first thing in the morning or last thing at night. It will affect your thinking in the morning and your resting in the evening. Try to get at least one main task out of the way before you tackle your messages. 

• Have a clear agenda and end time for every meeting you attend. And get a copy of the agenda before the meeting. This way, you can have clarity around what you want to say, but also it will help you identify the people in the room that are on the same page as you. 
• Batch your emails! This means setting aside designated times to check your email and sending out replies in batches, usually once or twice a day. This way you are not constantly checking your emails which allows you to focus your mind on the task at hand.
• Don’t work harder and expect to be less overwhelmed. Prioritise, don’t overwork. If you don’t prioritise then everything becomes overwhelming, but if you prioritise the most important tasks and do them first all of a sudden you will feel less overwhelmed. 

BEST MOMENTS

“Within discipline lies freedom.”

“What you don’t do, determines what you can do.”

“Have a digital detox…switch your phone off one day a week.”

“Do less, better.”
