Work From Home Heroes with Nudge Business

Sarah Aspinall was a high flying solicitor with a grip firmly on her career ladder.  She had always kept fit and had danced since she was a young girl at home in Wales.   Then one night, walking through New York she was held up at gunpoint and her life flashed before her eyes. 2 days later another incident in London pushed Sarah to reassess her life's goals and some big changes were made. Breaking Ballet was born.   This incredible conversation shows it's truly possible to turn your hobby into a business.  

We discuss how important it is to look after your health, try new things, don't be scared of being rubbish but the big message is to always follow your heart.

Nick Bishop has worked from home for 16 years. After a successful banking career running a team of 250 staff and a multi £bn target, Nick became self-employed with the sole aim to help teams perform to their highest potential.

Fast forward to now and Nicks client base lists several household names, the NHS, organizations in Botswana and is heavily involved as both a volunteer coach and writer for UK Athletics.

In this unscripted conversational chat, I reminisce with Nick about how we met over breakfast at a Cheadle networking event, stayed in touch, and over lockdown have created our own little group of like-minded business owners to collaborate, have fun and seek opportunities for each other.

We discuss the ongoing issues and benefits of working from home for both the employee and the employer.  The challenges of building a community and developing ideas remotely as well as the opportunities for home-based workers to explore their own potential to learn, run a side hustle, or simply have a bit more time to do what they love.

Nicks Podcast:

Today’s live was about your field or career.

Are you happy? Do you have a plan?

Many home-based workers are embracing their role, their hours, new opportunities. Others are struggling - why is that?

Topic of “faith”.

Question: “why are you here?”

Not on this podcast but on this planet. Try to work it out we were all placed here to do something- surely?

We discuss your friends, whos in your inner circle? Who bringing drama? Is it you? Looking out for positive influences to come into your life is easy once you open the door. This handy little video should help you - one thing I forgot to mention is to make sure you look out for each other, especially after the last 12 months, its affected everyone, including you in different ways.

To cap of the 7 key areas of life we can focus on to create a balanced lifestyle I talk about fun.

From daily fun to those huge adventures you want to embark on.  

Are you fun to be around? What excites you? Can you have too much fun?

Why does one person rage at the supermarket queue whilst the other is chuckling away at a rude word they made from the number plate at the car in front?
