April 18, 2022 Episode 41 Business Lessons from a Happy Divorce Steve Sandor CEO Inspiring Business
After 18 years of marriage my wife Debbie and I divorced.
Like most divorces it was difficult and uncomfortable but the outcome was a beautiful relationship where we knew we still loved each other, but we were not IN Love.
Once the decision was made the advice was to make every decision with the children in mind.
The fact that over the 18 years we had created wonderful relationships with friends and these then supported us particularly in the early stages. It takes a Village to raise a child.
Change is often perceived as bad but doesn’t always have to be that. It’s how you handle it that matters.
And finally, being vulnerable is a strength.
There were so many lessons that I learnt throughout this period and the years after our divorce that I have been able to apply to my business and management style.

April 10, 2022 Episode 40 Mistakes are only decisions with not enough information Steve Sandor CEO Inspiring Business
In this week's Episode I share some of the key elements that I think a Business Owner needs to consider as they create a life for themselves.

1. Being a good Technician doesn't make you a good business person
2. Know you don't know everything
3. Really take time to create a strategy that fits into your purpose
4. Get good at delegating
5. Accept that you and your team will make mistakes
6. The last point is to be kind to yourself

April 03, 2022 Episode 39 Be intentional about living. Ivan Ang Founder of Leadership Signature Coach
Having spent years as a Financial Planner and working with individuals to create wealth, Ivan came to the realisation that money does not make you happy, it provides you with options.
He realised that the conversations he was having with his clients were more about the emotional outcomes and goals than the money.
He now focuses on helping Executives to find the time to enjoy themselves on the Golf course. One of the tools Ivan uses is a reflection and review at the beginning and end of each day to make sure the main things have been of focus.

One exciting development that Ivan is creating is the executive Golf network. If you’re a manager, executive or business owners and a keen golfer then this is definitely something you should investigate.

March 27, 2022 Episode 38 There's value in not knowing. Jackson Gartner MD White Peak Digital
I don’t know what I don’t know is a frequently used term especially when starting something new.
As you have more experiences sometimes they don’t work out and now there’s pain or doubt associated with that decision.
I don’t think your age helps or hinders, I believe it’s a function of the experience.
Now knowing what you know and not having had a great experience makes you cautious. That could help with avoiding pain, but it can also be paralysing.
My favourite saying is mistakes are only decisions that were made with not enough information. More information, different decision.
Knowing when or if to pull the trigger on a decision is having enough information to be uncomfortably comfortable.
I created the Scale to Success System to do that very thing. To have enough information and data for you as the business owner to have confidence to make those important decisions.
I offer an Exploration call so we can talk about your plans to scale your business, whatever that means to you. It could be you want to grow, but it also might be getting more time to work on your business or maybe having time to spend outside the business, It might be working on your profit, people or a combination of all of these.

March 20, 2022 Episode 37 Supply Chain Diversity - What is it and why should you care? Sandra D'Souza CEO Ellect
Sandra D’Soza is the Founder and CEO of Ellect whose focus is helping businesses to achieve their Environmental Social and Governance Goals in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Ellect offers two products being the Ellect Stars in Gender Equality and the Supplier Diversity Marketplace.

Sandra and I spoke after the interview about our conversation and there were not many references to ‘how to’ and it was more about the purpose and feelings towards the subject. It was more serious than both of us expected but right now it probably needs to be taken seriously.
Maybe in another 5 years the conversation around supply diversity will be one questioning why you don’t have it, and you’re missing out on opportunities
The work that Sandra does is incredibly important and I’m buoyed that the senior executives see this area as a focus for the years to come.
I know that as I grew up I was fortunate to be surrounded by multi-culturalism and the 10 years in worked in Papua New Guinea taught me many skills that I would not have gained here in Australia and have been incredibly valuable as I help business owners scale their business.
It’s shaped how I see things. I think it gave me the opportunity to see things through a different lens.
The opportunity here is for small businesses is to create value for their business through a diverse workforce and as a result will be of value to larger organisations who are also walking down this path.
Sandra’s details in the show notes and I’d encourage you to investigate her web site.

March 13, 2022Episode 36 The key is to hire, smarter people than you. Brett Martin President Zenatta Consulting
Brett Martin is the President of Zenatta Consulting.

In this episode Brett gives us some nuggets of gold amongst his engaging stories and passion for business and life.

This is definitely one of those conversations where the more you listen to it, the more you can appreciate that it's the small but intentional decisions that you make in life that is your value and values.

Some of the big ones for me were,
That you never know where a relationship might lead. It’s not always obvious so it’s your intent that boomerangs back to you.
Hire people who are smarter than you and who fit in to your values.
Brett mentioned Patrick Lencioni's book 'The Ideal Team Player"
I can also recommend - The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable.
Plan and be ready to pull the trigger
It takes time, commitment and consistency for the plans to succeed
Be prepared to remeasure and maybe reset your plans
And finally love what you do.
