Your Business Quest

My recent ‘overnight success’ in business has taken nearly 14 years!

SERIOUSLY!

I’m working with an exciting new client on a big project with their team & want to know how it ‘fell into my lap’?

One of the key leaders in that company saw me deliver a talk about mindset … about 10 years ago!

And going further back … the main reason I was invited to deliver that talk was because I was recommended by a client who attended one of my first ever courses when I first started my business … 14 years ago next month!

So yeah, this one opportunity has been a total 'overnight success', wouldn’t you agree? Haha!

But because we live in a world that’s filled with instant gratification … it’s so easy to think everything will happen … INSTANTLY!

And when it doesn’t, we can easily start doubting ourselves & think things like … ‘Did I make the right decision to start my business?’ … ‘Will it ever work out the way I want it to?’’ … ‘-fill in the words based on what you say to yourself!-’

How about instead being more patient whilst taking consistent action?

In this week’s podcast, I share 7 things that will help you to be much more patient as you grow your business.

These include:

·     Why ‘overnight successes’ really don’t exist

·     The power of consistent actions

·     You could be making things happen even when you’re not seeing results

·     When should you be patiently stick to what you’re doing vs. changing things?

·     Why how you’re thinking in terms of timing can make a huge difference

·     The downsides for things happening too quickly

·     It’s a marathon & not a sprint!

Enjoy giving yourself a break & remember to celebrate your ‘overnight successes’ too!

Best wishes

Osmaan

When can we get back to ‘normal’? I’m hearing that a lot!

But do you really want everything to go back to exactly the way it was before?

When things don’t happen the way you expected or you experience a setback, it can be all too easy to want to run away from it as fast as you can.

But has it all been ‘doom & gloom’?

What about some of the unexpected benefits that have happened as a result of that challenge?

How about you build new things into your ‘new normal’?

I know for me, there’s quite a few things that I can’t wait to go back to ‘normal’ … like getting to sit in a proper coffee shop & chat away with good friends.

And even though I’m missing travelling for work loads, I also don’t want it to go back to the way it was before … flying here & there … and actually resenting it at times.

So in this week’s episode, I chat some more about this, to help you decide what you want to keep & incorporate into your future vision & goals for your business.

Listen to the episode now.

As always, I love to hear what resonates for you, so be sure to reach out & let me know what’s in hindsight has been a blessing in disguise for you.

Best wishes as always.

What’s get you the most traction in your business so far?

For me, it’s been the power of collaborations & connections by far.

But what I’ve found from my experience, these don’t work well if you are seeking them out with the mindset of .. ‘what’s in it for me?’ or ‘what can I get from this?’

Far from it actually.

In this week’s podcast, I share more about how some of my most powerful collaborations have come about & also practical do’s & don’ts, to help you see if these could be powerful for you too.

Listen in today.

Best wishes as always.

Do you see yourself as being a business owner or business leader or entrepreneur?

Cause you’d be surprised at how many ex-corporate professionals who are now trying to grow their own business, still don’t make that identity shift! 

I see it all the time & honestly, that was me too in the first couple of years too.

I was still acting like an employee of my business, instead of really being the business owner.

You may be sitting here thinking, so shat …. does it really matter Osmaan?

Yes, yes & yes!!

Because how you see yourself, will influence your beliefs & it can cause a dominos effect on what you then do or don’t end up doing.

Honestly, it will seep into everything & every part of your business.

But when you realise & acknowledge it, you can then change that & step up to OWN that new identity.

And then that’s when the real magic & transformations can happen.

Suddenly those strategies you were attempting to use, start working better for you, because you’re more adaptive & see things differently.

You become much clearer or even bolder with the goals because, you’ve realised that it’s really down to you!

Plus, it really helps you to focus & put a real dent in your industry.

In this week’s podcast episode, I dive deep into the importance of really being honest about how you see yourself & what you can do to shift your identity.

If you hesitate at all to call yourself a successful business owner, business leader or entrepreneur (or other positive words like that), then this episode is for you!

Enjoy & let me know what resonates with you after you’ve tuned in.

Best wishes as always.

My 17th birthday was approaching & I was super excited.

I had the day planned months & months in advance.

I was preparing for it & counting down the days.

I couldn’t sleep much the night before, as my head was buzzing.

Because on that very special day & had booked to go & sit an EXAM!

Yep … sad I know … but I sat my driving theory test on my birthday morning.

I swotted beforehand & even paid extra to get my results there & then.

Because that meant I could call the driving test centre & ask, ‘When is your next available practical test date?’

And it was in 5 weeks, so I booked it there & then … even before I had my first official driving lesson on the road!

Why?

Cause I was committed & so wanted my freedom!

The next 5 weeks were filled with practice & actual driving everywhere I could!

And then before I knew it, the actual practical test date rolled around.

It’s funny, when you think about some of those past personal goals you went after, isn’t it?

Because there’s so many things that we did to make that happen ….. that we can simply forget to do when it comes to our business goals!

So in this week’s podcast episode, I take you on a trip down memory lane back nearly 22 years ago, on what learning to drive has helped me see could also be applied when driving forward in business.

Tune in today & see if I passed or failed my practical driving test after only 5 weeks of starting lessons.

Best wishes as always.

Picture the day when you’re sitting booking a holiday with a travel agent. ( I honestly can't wait!)

I know that after the year you’ve just had, if they asked you …. ‘where would you like to go?’ … you’d probably say … ‘ANYWHERE!’

But that’s not really going to help them or you, is it?

Think about it … what do you vision that holiday be like? Filled with sunshine & beaches; snow & mountains or a hustle & bustle of a city … or whatever you’d prefer.

It doesn’t matter what the travel agent would choose for their holiday … or where I’d go … because that may be like a freaking nightmare to you.

So you really need to have a vision of what you want … before you can then start to focus on making it happen.

The same applies in your business too.

Vision is key & it needs to be YOUR vision.

But vision can change, as you change or the world around us changes.

For me, what I want for my business has actually evolved since the start of this year, which has now caused a positive ripple effect & changes in some of the goals that I had initially set.

So before you get your head down & work your butt off towards your goals, just make sure that they’ll get you towards the vision that you actually now want. 

If they’re not, then the cool thing is that you’re the boss, so you get to upgrade or change that vision for yourself & your business.

Want to hear more about this & how you can ensure your vision is bang up to date? Then head over to this week’s podcast, where I share some more practical tips with you.

Enjoy & have a cracking week.

Beliefs … they influence how we think, feel & what we do.

That’s why I’m always banging on about identifying & then letting go of those limiting & negative beliefs, so they don’t hold you & your business back.

But what about those positive beliefs?

Those ones should be cherished, nurtured & recognised, as they can be like your internal supporters.

They can help you deal with challenges or unexpected setbacks, so you can dust yourself off rapidly & keep moving forward.

Want to know what 3 positive beliefs have massively helped me in my business over the years?

·     ‘If it’s for you, it won’t go by you.’ …. Something my mum has always said to us since being little kids.

·     ‘Everything is figureoutable’ … by Marie Forleo & inspired by her mum!

·     ‘Everything is always working out for me!’ by Esther Hicks

Having these lodged inside my brain helps me massively & I’m constantly reminding myself of them regularly too!

Do you have a belief that’s help you to get out your way?   I’d love to hear what it is, so drop me a quick message & let me know.

Best wishes as always.

Behind closed doors, the reality of a person’s life & business can be somewhat different from what you think or see!

This became clear again to me when watching Oprah interview Harry & Meghan the other night.

And it’s so important that you remember this, because otherwise you could be playing the ‘comparisonitis’ game based upon their highlights reel!

Plus, we all have a different definition of what ‘success’ means or that feeling of ‘yep I’ve made it’.

In this week’s podcast episode, I talk about this even more, including how it pains me when I hear people compare themselves to others … when in fact I know what’s really happening behind the scenes of that person!

As always, let me know your key take away from the podcast & how it can help you to focus on your own lane!

Best wishes

Have you ever let a book ‘choose’ you? 

If not … give it a go .. because it’s super fun & useful!

Whether that’s from your own bookshelf or whilst walking through a bookshop (I can’t till they re-open here in the UK)?

I do it all the time & I’ve literally had the perfect book fall right in front of me!   Random or just cool ‘woo-woo’ in action?!

For me it’s all about being guided with perfect timing.

I’m sure you’ve experienced it before … when you’ve read something & it felt like it was written for you to read in that exact moment, so it’s made a huge impact on you.

But other times, you’ve started reading something because lots of people around you are banging on about it, but you can’t quite get into it. You’re thinking, ‘ok so what am I missing?’ because it’s not resonating but you think you should still persevere with it.

Honestly, just let the right books choose you at the right time!

In this week’s podcast, I share more of my top tips around how to do this in a practical way, including how to prime your mind for it.

Let me know how you get on with putting this into action or if you already do something similar.

Enjoy.

What do you get as a birthday gift for a 9-year-old, with the attempt to prise them away from being glued to electronics?

Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit & Jigsaws …. all Harry Potter related of course!

And do you know what … I honestly believe that if there was a scientific study in how you go about doing a jigsaw … the results would correlate to how you’re attempting to grow your business.

What do you think?

So in this week’s podcast episode, I chat through this & share some practical insights I’ve had whilst getting stuck into jigsaw-making mode at home.

Would you even attempt to start a jigsaw without seeing the picture on the box?

Do you focus more on getting the corners or edges all sorted; doing it section by section … or just randomly jumping all over the place?

What about when you’re doing a jigsaw puzzle with others … does it frustrate you or help you?

Tune into this short episode & I’m sure it will help you to see how you can help you grow your business more smoothly too.

Enjoy & drop me a reply to let me know how you get on with it.

Best wishes as always.
