In this episode, we dive deep into an incredible story of instinct, intuition, and the underestimated power of emotions.  Emotions hold a hidden intelligence that, when recognised, can guide us toward personal growth, resilience, and fulfilment. Too often, we're taught to dismiss our emotional reactions as unreliable. Yet, as you'll hear in today's episode, shutting them out can leave us disconnected from life's true richness. Tom shares a personal journey of turning away from emotions, embracing reason as a safeguard, only to discover the profound cost of ignoring that deeper layer of experience. It was only by welcoming emotions back in that life's depth and true personal growth came into focus. Learn how to move beyond simply managing emotions to truly mastering them as powerful guides. Embrace the wisdom of your emotional mind, and discover what you've been missing.  Blog Link: https://www.tomfoxley.me/post/the-secret-weapon-of-successful-entrepreneurs-using-emotions-to-accelerate-growth

What exactly does it mean to live an “agile life?” Let's start with the definition of “agile” which means “marked by ready ability to move with quick easy grace.” That sounds like something that all entrepreneurs strive to be. We want to be agile in the way that we can move quickly to meet our customers' demands and recognize when it's time to shift directions or processes. Simon Severino is the author of the book “Strategy Sprints: 12 Ways to Accelerate Growth for an Agile Business” and he shares what he thinks the most important factors are to having an agile business and life in general.Simon Severino is the author of "Strategy Sprints" and CEO of the consulting agency Strategysprints.com. He is also the creator of the Strategy Sprints Method, a TedX Speaker, and a coach of coaches. He has been in entrepreneurship for 19 years and executed hundreds of go-to-market strategies with B2B teams around the globe. Simon has helped thousands of entrepreneurs reach financial freedom and have a firm that runs without being dependent on them. Today, he shares his blueprints with business leaders. Simon helps business owners discover how to run their company more efficiently which results in sales that soar.In this episode of the How'd It Happen Podcast, Simon emphasizes the importance of having great systems and processes in not only your business but also in life. He believes that goals are not the answer to success and that goals don't actually help you. According to Simon, “You don't rise to the levels of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems.” The present moment is all we have, and there is much out of our control, so the key is to focus only on what you can control and make sure there is a great system in place for that.Key highlights:How Simon became an entrepreneurWhy processes are more important than your goalsWhat does it mean to have an “agile business”?Simon's thoughts on Elon Musk and TeslaHow Simon uses AI for his businessWhy our country relies on entrepreneurs to solve the problems we haveEpisode resources:Check out Truflation.com for current inflation ratesConnect with Simon Severino:Check out Simon's mastermind: strategysprints.com/jvcLinkedIn: Simon SeverinoTwitter: @simonseverinoInstagram: @strategysprintsYouTube: Simon SeverinoGet Simon's book: Strategy Sprints: 12 Ways to Accelerate Growth for an Agile BusinessTo Connect with Mike: Website LinkedIn Instagram Twitter YouTube Coaching Get Mike's book: Owner Shift Please LIKE

What roadblocks keep you from reaching your true potential? How can you shift your mindset to find true inspiration and fulfillment?  CEO of SelfHelp(ful) and host of the SelfHelp(ful) podcast, Kevin Miller believes the key to motivation is understanding what it is that you truly value.  “If it wasn't anybody else, if it was just for you, what do you really want, that you can own?” asks Kevin. For a lot of people, when they really become clear on that value, they find it bumps against their existing lifestyle or relationships, and that's hard. But getting to the core of what drives you, and why, is what leads to personal and professional success and fulfillment. Kevin Miller is a former pro cyclist and founder of 19 businesses, with a common thread and devotion throughout all he's done to enhance personal performance and live an inspired life. Today he is CEO of Self-Helpful, Inc., a personal development organization which curates and produces self-help content. Kevin hosts the Self-Helpful podcast (Glassbox Network), which has over 60 million downloads and is routinely visited by today's most influential changemakers. His book, What Drives You (McGraw Hill, May 16, 2023) challenges today's myths on “driven people” and serves as a guide for clarity and conviction in what you authentically value and are motivated by.  To learn more about Kevin, listen to the Selfhelp(ful) podcast, or pick up a copy of his new book, What Drives You: How to Discover Your Unique Motivators and Accelerate Growth in Work and Life.
