Business Coaching with Join Up Dots

Chris Randall is today's guest on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots podcast interview. He is a man who first appeared on the show in the first year of Join Up Dots, back in episode 256. During the show we discussed how he got his coaching business up and running, and the steps he took to find the niche that suited him best. He provides his life changing method “Flowcoaching” where he shows the world how to lead a highly successful and well rewarded life doing what matters most to them He believes as I do that it can also transform any business into a happy, creative and passionate place that inspirational people seek out. You enjoy yourself more, get more things done, and therefore have more free time for yourself. Yep cake and eat it time. But what is flowcoaching and why is it the thing that even if we don't get coached in it, we have all experienced it in our lives time and time again. How The Dots Joined Up For Chris Well its that amazing state that you can find yourself in when you literally lose hours at a time when performing a task. You get so engrossed in the activity that you look at the clock and think “God it feels that I just had breakfast and it's lunchtime already!” Well, it might have been a while since you last felt that feeling whilst working in your current job or occupation. And that is where our guest comes in. In a nutshell, he is a business, leadership and talent coach who helps you to figure out what you do best and then work with you to do it better. So how do we get ourselves into this state if we spend the majority of our time thinking "ooh just got five minutes until the next thing i have to do!"? And what is the part of the business that took him by surprise as he built it to where it is today? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only "Mr Flowcoacher Chris Randall.

Matt Phipps is todays guest joining us on the Join Up Dots business podcast. And this is one of those special shows for me and the show, as its a listener, who became an action taker and then got the dream. As he said when we invited him on the show " In 2018 I was in the RAF for 21 years and looking for my next move, as I was ready to change. I listened to the podcast on the way to work each day and so bumped into your travel website podcast where your Florida Keys adventures inspired me to set up something similar for Santiago, Chile, where my wife hails from. After about 6 months I realized that this wasn't going to be more than a side hustle in terms of income and so I kept listening. That's when I heard you interview Adam Hudson on the show, discovered the world of E-Commerce and Amazon. I pitched it to my wife and together we embarked on building a business around children's gifts.

Nick Cramp is todays guest joining us on the inspired Join Up Dots business podcast. Nick is one of the new types of business coaches with thinking that aligns perfectly with the message of Join Up Dots Bigger is not necessarily better. As we have seen from more and more guests who have appeared on the show, there comes a point in the entrepreneurial journey when they start questioning the chase. They are spending their time chasing after more listeners, more email signups, more conversions....more more more and it doesn't feel like how they imagines a successful business to feel. They end up saying no to family commitments as they are too busy. They walk the road to burnout with no other option until now. Perhaps they dont need to. Perhaps they already have enough its now time to make things better not bigger.

What does it take to get the help you need to change your life and create your own successful business? Well it simply takes you asking a question and you can do that easily by sending us an email on So let's move onto todays four question posed by listeners of the show and of course you can hear the answers directly on the show Dear David, question for you. How do you know what you are doing is going to be the right thing to do? Listening to your shows it seems the biggest thing to decide is to start, following in what to do? I would love to know your answer to this problem SL, Florida. Hi David, loving the show, I have created a successful pizza business in my town over the last four years. Now i am getting bored with it. Should I sell, or just suck it up? MM, Essex Hi David you sexy individual, i just thought i would ask you a question in a different way, but you talk about self development alot, but what have you learnt in the last day that you think is "Wow"!  - love the show, HZ, Nicaragua  Hi David, do you think that the dream of what you want to become is better than the reality? I am always starting things and get stuck in the drudgery, non sexy times and think "Ill do something else instead". Should i just persevere   HT, Brighton

Luke Hyde is our guest joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots business podcast. He is a 20 year old entrepreneur who has a digital marketing agency whose clients are small businesses.  It wasn't an obvious route to where he was today, but it was one that wouldn't have occurred without taking action..perhaps imperfect action but he started. As he says "I was listening to podcasts while mopping floors in a church and decided to learn everything I could about digital marketing., and now today I am an agency owner.  The reason that he wanted to develop his online skills was when he realised that many small business are struggling right now. He goes on to say "If your business is struggling, you're not alone. 2020 was hard for everyone, especially small businesses. My own business was affected last year, and it was during this year I realized a massive problem. How The Dots Joined Up For Luke The world is becoming more and more digital, so if small businesses want to survive and continue to get business, they need to shift their marketing efforts online. However, most of them don't have the money, time, or knowledge on how to do so. So I have launched The Small Business Digital Roadmap is designed to give you exactly what you need to know to get started with online marketing, without having to waste time and effort scouring the Internet for the answers. All the information in this program is concise and user friendly, so even with no prior digital marketing experience, you can benefit. Finally, the strategies taught in this course have been tested and proven to work for small businesses, so you will be able to generate the same if not better results than hiring a marketing company. The best part: you only have to pay a one time fee and you get access to the program for life. So how did he speed through to where he is today, by finding out the right answers to marketing that he could then test out himself. And why as a young man did he have the desire to start his own business, and as many find out it might seem easy from the front, but the backend is very very difficult. Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Mr Luke Hyde.

Cody Berman co founder of Gold City Ventures is todays guest joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired podcast. This is a man with quite a story of success, focus and working hard to make things happen. Cody Berman was 6 months into his banking job when he decided he never wanted to work in corporate again. Sometime people take years to get the message, but this was obvious...but what could he do? Well he started a disc golf manufacturing company, started an Etsy business selling digital downloads for the holidays (Halloween party invites, letters to Santa, etc), lived below his means, and picked up unit after unit of real estate during the pandemic. He's now splitting his time traveling the world and fixing up an old lake house. How The E-Printables Dots Joined Up For Cody As he says "Side hustling has literally transformed my life. On January 31, 2019 I quit my corporate banking job when my side hustle income started to cover the cost of my lifestyle... and since then I've never looked back!" He spent the last month traveling through the Greek Islands while bringing in a six figure annual income with online business. Cody's goal is financial independence. When he isn't building his own financial independence, he blogs, podcasts, and runs his business helping others get Etsy businesses up and running through Gold City Ventures. So do people make building an online business harder than it really is in his opinion? And of course with everything great success there are downsides to explore and encounter so what has been his biggest?

Performative Speaking expert Robbie Crabtree is todays guest joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired podcast. Over the last 8 years, our guest has worked as a prosecutor, defence lawyer, and civil rights lawyer. He also taught Persuasive Speaking at Southern Methodist University Law School and coached SMU's National Mock Trial team. He started his career handling 102 jury trials... including murder and child abuse cases. During his time as a trial lawyer, he began getting messages from founders and entrepreneurs looking for help with storytelling, persuasion, and public speaking. Which was the first dot that lead him to start working to where he is today. Then came the second dot and one case in particular that would change his life and his career forever. In what should have been an open-and-shut case, he used his logic and reason to appeal to “just the facts,” but he lost that case. He lost because he focused in on the facts...the cold hard facts. Whilst the opposing lawyer created images, and told stories to build up a feeling of support for the accused.

Hi David, i cant imagine how many emails you get from listeners so would be amazed if you get to see this one. But actually i guess it doesn't matter if you see it or not, in a way my writing it is a moment that could change my situation. I am struggling at the moment. I'm not sure how long I have been struggling as my life has always been ups and downs. But it certainly feels that the downs last longer, whilst the Ups are few. I dont know what I am doing with my life. Since i finished university the plans that I thought were mine in the making haven't come true. I have tried to make them happen to the best of my ability, but often looking back if an opportunity did come along I was in one of the dips and didnt make the most of it. Now i am temping in an office job that has nothing to do with me. Its a job. I earn money by doing meaningless tasks. Then come home to my little apartment to kill the hours before I go to bed and then start again. My friends are becoming less and less, which isnt a surprise as most of them think i will say no if they ask me to do anything. Which basically is true. I dont have the energy to be happy. There I think I said it...i dont think I have the energy to be happy, its too tiring and at the least seems fake to me. I see people walking around in couples, laughing and drinking in bars and it all seems so natural and effortless.  You my man have your shit together. I can tell that. The way you talk and deliver the content to us is always on point and focused. You are in the game, and I wish i could be more like you. In fact I wish i could be more like anyone except me as I dont have a fucking clue how to be me anymore. I am lost, floating out to sea and not sure of anything. Im the king of double guessing so dont actually do anything at all. Im not sure what I am expecting to get from this email, and I hoped that it would make me feel better in a cathartic way. I guess I have failed as I just seem more like a depressed loser. Stay the course David as we need you in the world. You dont know how your positivity makes a difference to people like me.

Live Life Before Work Isn't it a funny situation and I suppose a bit mad when we always knock back the fun things in life, to do the boring routine stuff. How many times have you said to your family "No we can't do that today as I have chores today" We all seem to prioritize work and responsibilities over the real life experiences that light up our lives and make us happy. So in todays podcast episode we talk about flipping things on their heads and instead of putting work today choose life instead.

Over the last ten years of Join Up Dots, we have answered many thousands of questions either via the podcast or directly by email response. We love to do this, as without a doubt the connection with the audience is the key to everything we do. So this week we received several questions highlighted below that our host David Ralph answers in his own style. So lets start with the first question that talks about the connection with burnout and an anti-hustle stance. As the listener asked isn't a contradiction when you leap from talking about dealing with burnout and then working harder than anyone else.  Listener Question One Dear David, i have been listening to your show for the last couple of years and have heard you talk often about burnout and overwhelm. I have also heard you talk a lot about not hustling and taking things easy. Isn't this a contradiction? Isn't success simply about working harder than anyone else until you dont have to? I would love to know your answer to this question. AR, South Africa Listener Question Two Hi David, what is the hardest part in your view to getting an online business going? JM, Iowa Listener Question Three Hi David and the team, when you are not running the show and doing your coaching what do you also do? I have a successful business myself and i find its all i have in my life. When im not doing it, im thinking about it and getting twitchy. Any suggestions to a different life CC, Sussex.

How do you build unstoppable momentum in your life? How do you get going on lifechanging habits when at the beginning they are so hard to start? Well the simple concept is showed on todays show and along with mindset lessons will show you the steps you need to build success.  

You Never Fail Unless You Give Up Let's get this straight....life is hard. Life can beat you so badly that you sometimes you want to roll up into a ball, close the curtains and keep the world outside. That is one of the problems that entrepreneurs experience everyday when they are trying to build their dream businesses. It is especially difficult for business coaches who are actually building their businesses, by helping others build theirs due to the multiple variables that can trip us up. They may get knockbacks due to lack of effort, They may get stumbles due to not following the processes. So what can you do when things dont go your way in life? How can we keep on moving on when things get tough? Well in todays episode of Join Up Dots we focus in on just that, by sharing what has been going on behind the scenes on Join Up Dots. You see this week, a client of Join Up Dots came to a crossroads in their business building and had to stop. You see the landscape has changed which made the business doubly difficult to continue. So as you will hear in the show and the transcript below, there is a time to reflect and a time to accept that you can do better.

Sanjay Hegde is todays guest joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots. He is Founder and President of Blue Ring Investors LLC, a company formed to pool investors' funds to purchase high-performing multifamily, senior and student housing properties in U.S. emerging markets. He finds the properties. He vets the deals and manages the assets. His clients make the investment and sit back and collect the income and appreciation that comes from investing in investment-grade commercial real estate.  Now this story started in quite a different place, and certainly with more than a few obstacles to overcome on the way to where he is today. Sanjay has an inspiring story, or his journey from India to North America to work as a trained pharmacist. But being unable to continue that career in the US, he had to find a way to make things happen for himself.  

Do you ever think that you dont have options in your life? Do you think that you are stuck and can only accept what is happening instead of breaking it down? Well in todays show we tackle an email that we recieved I live in a "what the f*** do I have to lose" vibe, but everytime i say to my work colleagues "I am so close to walking out of here" they smile as they know I wont. From reading things online about famous people and the struggles that they went through to get to where they are today, so many of them were living rough, in vans or with no food to eat. I'm in a much better position than them, but I know i will never result too much. What  am i doing wrong my podcasting guru. I would love to buy you a beer one today but at the moment you will have to pay :) JJ

Matt Edmundson is todays guest joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots podcast. Matt started his business journey in 2006 when he launched an ecommerce brand with the desire to make sales of £10.000 in 4 months. He did a bit better than this and his store reached £10.000 sales within one week, and by the end of the year, their sales were £400K. Since then, they have achieved global sales of $75million, that's over 7 million products shipped. Matt is now the CEO of the Jersey Company, a group of health, wellness and beauty companies that deliver products and services to over 120,000 loyal customers. How The Dots Joined Up For Matt As he says " I am an eCommerce entrepreneur and coach, a digital business guy who has had more failures than successes; it is just that my successes far out-weigh my failures. More importantly, I have a great team that makes magic happen.  I've got a bit of a loudmouth (in a good way!), and I'm always bouncing new ideas around. I am someone who likes to challenge the 'norm' (I call this idea undefault). If I could afford it I would buy Liverpool Football Club for no sensible reason: I'm just a fan. My kids would prefer me to buy an Aston Martin, and my wife would prefer me to spend the money on the house (or donate it). Being a family man I exercise the skills of negotiation and compromise: I buy gadgets. He is here to to share his journey and experience as a real-world eCommerce entrepreneur, and reveal how he turned the chaotic first month of his business into a successful brand. So how do you battle against companies like Amazon, who are getting bigger and bigger when starting our with a e-commerce business? And when the failures hit, what made him come back for more and give it another go instead of dropping into business despair? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Mr Matt Edmundson

Jaryd Krause is todays guest joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired podcast. He is the owner of the online business - Buying Online Businesses.com Like most people, or at least the ones that i meet everyday, he had a desire to start his own online business, walk around in his underpants at 4:00pm in the afternoon, and quite frankly reap ever easier rewards. But the story to where he is today is quite a bit different to that vision. As he says "my sheer desire to earn a decent and regular (passive) income from a minimal amount of personal input paved the path to this point of where I am at now. This desire was all necessary so that I could simply fulfil my aspiration to travel and explore the world without repeatedly needing to return home every so often to hustle my heart out to earn more money in order to take off overseas again, and again. However he wasn't moving towards that vision very easily. In fact although he was hustling, He just wasn't hustling in the right direction. So how could he get past the slog phase of creating online income? How could he skip past the failure point of many start-up businesses that fail after the first twelve months? This was this very question that led him to the BIG Ah-Ha moment, to the point of realization that I was searching so hard for.

In todays to podcast episode we answer several questions from listeners across the world. And of course we have also gained lovely comments from listeners who have been inspired by our shows. Dear David, i listened to your show the other day and a light bulb went on in my head. I am getting what I have allowed to happen to me. I am in the job because i went for the job. I decide who I am going to share my life and body with. Its all down to me. Scary times ahead but thank you. I should have seen this myself as its bloody obvious. Hi David great show as always. Today I went in and said to my Boss, tell me what I need to do to get a promotion. She almost cried, you could see it in her face. She then told me that she has been desperate for me to become proactive and make things happen. The next thing is to move out and get my own place. Hi David, I want to better at being a better person. What can you suggest? David, if i wanted to earn more money should i ask for a payrise or simply get another job somewhere. I am excited about the future as It my future to make

Introducing Finding Meaning In Life  Finding meaning in life isn't easy for sure. We all think that life should be better, or more defined, or more profitable. We all think that we should be getting the kind of results that we see others getting online. However one of the things that we dont truly reflect on is what these wishes mean to us. Why do we want a million pound sitting in the bank? Why do we want a better more loving relationship that make our hearts explode everyday? We want these things for the meaning that they give us. And by finding meaning in life we can look at what is most important to us and focus in on those things making us ultimately happier, more fulfilled and centred, Finding Meaning In Life The Start T he first thing that we4 need to do when we start on the path of finding meaning in life is accept that what we are getting is down to us. We have to draw a line under our previous section of life, and say "Yeah, everything that i am experiencing is because of me" This is hard to do, and for most people they will throw up a serious of excuses as to why they are the victims of their lives. No, i am only getting this bad thing because of how that person is treating me! I am only living here, because of being thrown out of home by my wicked mother. We will say to you that is rubbish, and all those situations are created by millions of small things that you can and should have dealt with when they occurred.  Your Mother didn't just decide one day to kick you out, but this has been building up over a period of time whilst living with each other. Get my point? Its at this stage when you have to say "If i want to start fining meaning in life, i have to take control of my life" And that is accepting the bad decisions as much as the good ones that you have made.

In todays episode of Join Up Dots we share the process for building a business online as quickly as possible. This of course means finding something that people want and want really really badly. But how do you find those kind of ideas? You start by digging around what is already working and then putting your own spin as you will hear on todays show.

Dr Don Wood is todays guest joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots business podcast Our Guest today He developed the Inspired Performance Institute after spending years researching how trauma affects our minds and our lives. He began to understand that events and experiences throughout our lifetime continue to play a role in how we experience life in the present. He also realized that there was a better way of treating the issue. As he says “Teaching people to live with, manage and cope with the daily stress doesn't fix the problem. The solution comes from understanding it's source and providing a long-term permanent solution. How The Dots Joined Up For Dr Wood Unresolved trauma or disturbing events and experiences from your past may be interfering with your ability to function at your highest level. These experiences may limit your ability to regulate your mood, focus, or connect with others in a healthy, loving and safe way… A chronically dysregulated and imbalanced nervous system can lead to anxiety, depression, PTSD, panic attacks, addictions, or even chronic illnesses such as auto-immune disorders, thyroid problems, cardiac and gastrointestinal diseases, and even cancer. So was this concept based on his own personal experiences as many successful businesses are? And how do we tap into our own pasts without the help of an expert guru, or perhaps we shouldn't? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Dr. Don Wood

Sarah Dawn is todays guest joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots business podcast. Lets get one thing straight, she is no stranger to success, 7 figures, overwhelm, burn out, or forging a path to a blissful blend of record-breaking business growth and personal fulfilment.    Growing up in a home where there was not always enough food to eat and utilities being shut off was not an uncommon occurrence, she was hell-bent on being a success.  After working her way through school to earn her B.S. in Psychology, Sarah Dawn went on to attain her Juris Doctorate from Texas A&M.   She checked all the boxes professionally, at the expense of her own health, and at an early age, her body began to let her down.  As a result of extreme burnout, Sarah Dawn endured life-altering pain, had surgeries, was prescribed pain meds as the only means of long term comfort, and ultimately woke up with Bell's Palsy.

Ann Bennett is our guest today joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots business podcast. I am the founder of RenegadeBranding.com, an International Speaker, Best Selling Author, Coach and Brand Profit Builder. I use my marketing and branding genius to help women entrepreneurs (and a few good men) build their STAND OUT personal brands and boost their profits. As she says "As early as i can remember I just didn't fit in...... Incessantly picked on as the odd ball. There's always as a slight twist to my point of view and edge to my  emotions so because of that I spent many solitary hours painting, writing and playing music. As an artist it felt right be rebellious and break the rules. Leaving my California roots and taking up residence in New York City fuelled my creative passion, where just another mis-fit could fit in. Arriving in 1980 the gritty city was still dangerous, raw and full of possibilities. The art scene was exploding and I found myself right in the middle of it.

Ryan Kugler is todays guest joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots podcast As he says "I am a small business owner, in fact I own three separate businesses and juggle them all at a “layered” company (all of my employees work all three companies at the same time). My first business (A5 Events) is a an event producer focused on helping non-profit organizations with their fundraisers (charity runs and walks). My second business is marketing company (Ideal Content), where we focus on making high end marketing material for our clients (video brochures…a physical brochures that plays a video upon opening-cool) and lastly, my third company is a secondary wholesaler, called Plan B. We help manufacturers and retailers move their inventory when their sales drop! But thats just one side of him as without doubt he is someone with hustle, and the balls to make things happen.
