It’s been a year since I interviewed Canadian entrepreneur and chiropractor, Dr. Hestor Potts on 💫“I’m a Millionaire! So Now What?”💫.

Who would have thought then that we’d still be experiencing major restrictions in how we run our businesses and live our lives? The lessons and experiences she shared are still so relevant as we discuss the eight drivers of business success in the podcast and how to make yourself redundant – the topic of our Elevated Conversations Roundtable on 17th June 2021.

In this episode, we reflect on Hestor’s journey to:

• Creating the procedures and systems that made her redundant (in a good way). 
• Adapting her services to meet the needs of remote workers
• Becoming financially savvy with an emergency saving fund

Welcome back to 🎙💫“I’m a Millionaire! So Now What?”💫🎙, where my guest is Dan Dore, a successful real estate investor with over two decades of experience. He’s a 10Xer, the founder of Dore Property Management and Dore Capital Group. But he was holding the brakes on his company’s growth until he invested in his team, removed himself from the centre of operations – and worked in his zone of genius.

In this episode, we delve into the eighth driver of value, the hub and spoke. We discuss:

• The difference between an asset and a liability
• Why having your feet on the brakes could be the result of a limiting belief
• The importance of systems, processes, and teams

Today on 💫“I’m a Millionaire! So Now What?” 💫I talk to the founder of not one, but three startups, entrepreneur Alberto Aguilar, about leaving a positive legacy through sustainable initiatives. Alberto is the co-founder of Plantaform, a biotech startup that created a soil-free indoor home gardening system using pioneering fogponics technology. It allows you to grow up to 15 vegetables in three weeks in a designer container in your kitchen – one that’s about as big as a mini fridge. 

Together with ex-schoolmate, industrial designer and co-founder Kiwa Lang, Alberto Aguilar saw the need for a sustainable solution tailored to busy urbanites who don’t have the time or space to grow their own food. One that might contribute towards a positive impact in the world. 

Find out: 

🌱 What makes Alberto tick

🌱 How Rejuvenate works (and why failure made this team stronger)

🌱 The reasoning behind the soft launch and investment drive

🌱 Why not having a plan B can be the key to success

In this week’s 🎤“I’m a Millionaire! So Now What?”🎤 I’m back on my ace, sharing more insights and analogies on how People, Players and Pawns relate to the theme of Elevated Conversations, our virtual roundtable on April 29th, ♟The Queen’s Gambit♟.

Just like the game of chess, in business:

• Every person, player or pawn is part of your strategy
• The row of pawns is your first line of offence or defence
• A business team is much larger than just your paid staff
• Every pawn can become a queen 👑 (so don’t underestimate your people)

On this episode of “I’m a Millionaire! So Now What?” I recall a message from Cameron Herold (aka the “CEO Whisperer) that really resonated on the Double to Sell 💰💰 workshop. 

It’s all about asking the right questions ❓❓❓

When the sh!t goes down – instead of looking for someone to blame – a leader needs to find out what systems are missing that allowed that problem to happen.

It’s based on Michael Gerber’s idea that people don’t fail. Systems fail.

In this short and punchy episode, you’ll learn to ask the right questions. The hard questions sometimes. And how a missing letter B in a Star ucks sign led to better leadership.

Have a listen. I guarantee you’ll learn something 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️.
