In this week’s episode, Nicky is flying solo and is feeling inspired after her dance fitness class to discuss Tony Robbins' concept of the six core needs: certainty, uncertainty, significance, connection, growth & contribution.
 
Nicky discusses how understanding them can help individuals make positive changes and improve their lives. She reflects on the importance of changing the way we do life and business to serve ourselves, rather than following traditional expectations that may not help us thrive. 
 
In this episode, Nicky covers 

• Understanding your own core needs and priorities is key to making decisions that lead to a more fulfilling life, both personally and professionally. 
• The six core needs drive our behaviours and habits. It's important to reflect on how these needs are being met in our lives and whether they are being fulfilled in a resourceful or unresourceful way. 
• Creating routines and hobbies as primary vehicles to fulfil these needs can help us maintain stability and recover quickly from setbacks. It's important to have multiple primary vehicles to fulfil these needs. 

As a leader, it's essential to understand and fulfil the core needs of team members through regular meetings, clear expectations, incentives, recognition, coaching, and opportunities for growth and contribution.
 
By identifying the primary vehicles that fulfil these needs and incorporating them into daily routines, you can maintain stability and recover quickly from setbacks.

Are you prepared to advance your social media strategy? 

Listen to this week's episode with Karen Tisdell to hear her insightful advice on how to create solid connections and networks on social media. 

Karen Tisdell offers advice on how to use social media to expand your business. She stresses the significance of developing relationships, concentrating on a clear plan and goal, and utilising the appropriate metrics to measure success. 

Karen advocates being time-efficient, having a specific purpose and avatar in mind and developing a strong network through recommendations rather than being distracted by likes and followers. 

She also offers advice on how to find prospective clients on LinkedIn, how to make an interesting profile, and how to offer valuable materials to demonstrate competence to possible clients.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Social networking and relationship-building are crucial for commercial success. It's important to connect with people and interact with their content, not just to increase your likes and followers.
• It's essential to have a plan and specific objectives while using social media. This involves focusing on developing the right network and relationships rather than becoming distracted by trending topics that won't truly benefit your business, measuring the appropriate KPIs, and avoiding the wrong viral articles.
• The key to successful social media use is efficiency. This entails sticking to a schedule, being reliable, and avoiding the endless scroll. The development of a solid network and your LinkedIn profile should take precedence over the creation of new material.

In this podcast episode, Nicky and Ness dive deep into the concept of goal setting and how it can sometimes leave us feeling empty. 

Our guest, Emily Chadbourne, shares her insights on this topic and helps us to think about things a little differently. As business owners, we often look for a finish line, a clear endpoint that signals success. But what if that finish line is actually a mirage? What if achieving our goals doesn't actually bring us the satisfaction we're seeking? 

Through thought-provoking tangents, Emily guides us to explore new ways of thinking about success and fulfilment in our businesses.

Topics:

• The Importance of Balancing Business Goals with Personal Fulfilment. While goal setting is a critical component of business success, it's equally important to consider personal fulfilment.
• Incorporating "Softer Metrics" for a More Holistic Approach to Success: Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) often focus solely on business growth and numerical targets.
• Sharing personal experiences and reflections on entrepreneurship can provide valuable insight and inspiration for others. It can help create a sense of community and encourage individuals to pursue their own entrepreneurial dreams.
• Combining Masculine and Feminine Energy in Goal Setting. Incorporating feminine energy, such as flexibility, intuition, and empathy, can lead to a more balanced approach to goal setting.
• Prioritising personal life goals alongside business goals is essential for a well-balanced and fulfilling life.

If you're ready to break free from the cycle of goal-setting and disappointment, tune in to this episode of Thrive in Business Together. We reckon you'll love it!
