In this hi-energy and wide-ranging episode, Nick talks with serial entrepreneur Shaa Wasmund MBE about her incredible journey and achievements

From being the first licensed female boxing promotor in the world and working with Chris Eubank through to her 6 Figure Club teaching thousands of like-minded entrepreneurs to build successful online businesses Shaa talks about doing the work she really loves and how everything is an opportunity to learn.

She discusses why it’s OK to not know all the answers if you are prepared to learn from the lessons along the way and push forward

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When you hybrid publish you completely own your book and can use it for lead generation
• Most entrepreneurs use a book to reinforce their position as an expert in their field
• You can use books to increase your credibility and grow your profile
• I believe in abundance, the more we do, the more we create, the more there is to share
• When a podcast stands for something people can relate to it and its easier to get sponsorship
• I don’t think I have all the answers I’m here to learn as much as anyone else is
• I believe we shouldn’t be calling people out we should be calling people in. Be prepared to speak out and be prepared to be knocked down
• You need to understand that unconscious bias exists and be actively conscious about taking action
• You are either part of the problem or part of the solution
• Making changes in how you operate isn’t a check box exercise. It’s understanding we should reflect the world we live in
• It’s a different mindset to be able to look at things long term and create generational wealth
• Get smart about your money and you can create good habits around long term wealth generation

ABOUT THE HOST

Nick James

Nick dropped out of university at the age of 21 and failed spectacularly with his first coaching business, which forced him to take a £16k/yr telesales job. 

Within 12 months he was the top performer and left to start his second business at 24. This time he discovered a winning formula and before long had a multi-six-figure company.

He then made a huge mistake which nearly put him out of business and cost him £50,000 in personal cash!

Fortunately, Nick kept it afloat, turned it around, and sold that business 2 years later in a seven-figure deal. 

He then co-founded a multi-million-pound marketing company, which he exited in 2015, and created Expert Empires.

Today, Expert Empires is known as the UK's number one business event for Experts, with world-renowned celebrity speakers like Gary Vaynerchuk, Grant Cardone, Chalene Johnson, David Goggins, and Lewis Howes gracing the stage.

Nick also specialises in helping Coaches, Consultants, Speakers, Trainers, and Authors take their businesses from zero to six figures and beyond through his Expert Empires Mastermind programme.
