In this episode, Jeannette speaks with Alison Edgar MBE, a renowned public speaker, award-winning author, and entrepreneur who now teaches others how to use her out-of-the-box approach to transform their businesses. They talk about not letting imposter syndrome stop you. How to reframe the negatives, take ownership of your life and get over the fear of doing something new. Alison also shares the methods she uses to overcome a fear of public speaking, and to create and remember impactful speeches despite being dyslexic.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Never underestimate the value of the skills you learn doing those first menial jobs. If you are not good at academia don´t worry it is not necessary for success. Learn to reframe negatives into positives. If you don´t you will hold yourself back. Focus on what you are good at but continue to learn and try new things. If something is not working, stop and try something else.  With public speaking, timing is everything.  Use breathing to control your nerves and help your words to have more impact. This works for conversations as well as for public speaking. Doing what you love, the thing you were born to do energises you. You are only on this planet for a short while, don't waste your time looking back thinking about things you wish you had done. When you fail you will feel bad, but don't allow yourself to stay in that mindset. Surround yourself with people that energise you. BEST MOMENTS ‘Never let the voice (self-doubt) win. If you do, you´re never really going to be happy because you´re always going to be focusing on the wrong things. ´ ‘If you haven't brought your heart rate down, you will not be able to make that massive impact with your words.' ‘I shoot from the hip, always tell the truth. Whether it is what people want to hear or not. I am not programmed to lie.' ‘Your version of brave, bold, brilliant could be completely different to somebody else´s.'   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

This week's guest is Alison Edgar MBE known as the ‘The Entrepreneurs Godmother' helping businesses and entrepreneurs to grow, including The Apprentice & Dragons Den winners with their businesses. She is also the author of bestselling book SMASH IT! The art of getting what you want. Instead of sitting around during the pandemic, she decided to embrace the lockdown and write her best-selling book ‘SMASH IT! The Art of Getting What YOU Want', which helped grow the her own business to new levels!As a child she was a very confident and precocious child. She grew up working class in a block of flats in Clydebank, Scotland but the lack of money in her family was made up for with lots of love from my parents. Growing up with undiagnosed dyslexia, she always thought that she was different to everyone else. She struggled in some of her lessons, especially English, but her family celebrated her C grades as if they were A*'s!Leaving home at 19, she had a plan to travel the world for 6 months. She loved travelling so much that she moved to Cape town at 21 and before she knew it 6 months had turned into 6 years.Having her two sons was a game changer for her. Her first birth was very traumatic, and she nearly lost her life. Thankfully, after three months she got better and was discharged from hospital. This made her rethink the direction of her life and made her crave a change.Leaving her corporate job – and her comfort zone - at 46 years old, she decided it was time for a new direction. She set up her first business ‘Sales Coaching Solutions' and gave it her all. She realised that she had a passion for helping businesses and entrepreneurs to grow so a few years after this she set up ‘The Entrepreneurs Godmother' and helped many people including The Apprentice & Dragons Den winners with their businesses.Fast forward to 2022 and she runs two businesses, ‘SMASH IT! Training' and ‘Alison Edgar MBE – Keynote Speaker'. Both businesses are designed to help others in different aspects of their lives. SMASH IT! Training helps teams to flourish with contemporary training and coaching. We offer commination training, leadership training, sales training and much more.  Alison Edgar MBE - Keynote Speaker offers motivational speaking at events to help inspire and invigorate audiences of teams or entrepreneurs.She defines courage as the ability to not be afraid to fail. So many people fear change due to the risk of failing, but in reality, it is our only constant. Change is the only thing that we can guarantee will happen to us throughout our lives, so why live in fear of it? Not fearing change and learning to embrace it is one of the most courageous things that you can do.Thanks Alison for inspiring entrepreneurs and business owners to get the lives they want and the futures they dream of.

An inspirational and motivational episode where Christina interviews her second MBE guest, Alison Edgar. Alison is a sales and marketing powerhouse, she is also a speaker, mentor and bestselling author. Known to many as the ‘entrepreneurs Godmother’ Alison has worked with many start-ups including Dragons Den winners, right up to large corporate companies such as SKY and EasyJet. Alison brings her breadth and depth of knowledge to this episode and talks to Christina about women in business, her unique perspectives on sales and marketing and delves into the importance of mindset and ethics. KEY TAKEAWAYS Alison is an author of two bestselling books. Her first book, The Secret to Success, was based on the top performers and sellers of organisations, which most of the time was and still is women. Only 5% of all books on sales are written by women, even though at least 50% of sales are by women. Women sell differently, they have a unique way of building relationships and emotional intelligence and this is reflected in their performance. Standing out is great but you want to stand out for the right reasons. Alison believes that this can often be the difference between men and women. She doesn’t care about everyone knowing who she is, she is proud to be known for the right things: practical sales, positivity, authenticity and following through. Alison and Christina are both passionate about the concept of intrapreneurship: When you are in a job, working for someone, but you work and believe in the same way as an entrepreneur. A growth mindset is something Alison has always had, it is also something entrepreneurs, top performers and intrapreneurship have in common. It has made her hard to manage in the past simply because she always wanted to improve things and make change. Now, she is passionate about focusing on changing one person into an entrepreneur at a time: this is how you make significant changes in culture. People overcomplicate business. Sell more stuff, spend less money and make a profit. That’s the formula for success. Sales isn’t just a numbers game. Having time management, good data, great questions and effective processes can make an immeasurable difference to success. Sales and marketing are two separate entities. They need to be treated as such. Alison recognises that sometimes she will be asked to be on a panel to ‘tick a box’. But she doesn’t care, she just uses it to her advantage and as an opportunity and knows by the end she will have proved herself. Women have to go up there to show women that we can do just as much and more than men: when we get the opportunity, we have to take it to inspire others to do the same. BEST MOMENTS 01:52 “Every day, all I do is bring my best and give my a-game” 05:22 “It’s great to be a woman in a space that’s not overfilled with women, so first of all that’s a great differentiator” 14:59 “One of the key factors top performers and entrepreneurs have is a growth mindset” 19:49 “Females tend to make stronger leaders because they can get people to work with them, they can get people to be part of that journey” 38:07 “There are not enough female speakers out there, there are not enough diverse speakers out there” VALUABLE RESOURCES Christina Talks Podcast https://www.green-umbrella.biz/the-4ps-of-personal-branding/ ABOUT THE HOST Christina has been working with SME’s since 2013 to launch, develop and perfect their online presence. In 2019 Christina made the move from employee to business owner of a successful digital marketing agency focused on educating business owners in the use of social media. Christina is driven by the fact that in today’s world, it doesn’t matter how big or small your marketing budget is, you can be a major player.

This week, Ellie is joined by "The Queen Of Sales", motivational speaker, and author of 'Secrets Of Successful Sales', Alison Edgar MBE! Alison discusses the importance of recognising your roots in life, the difference between entrepreneurs and business owners, and why putting in the effort is sometimes worth far more than achieving the result in mind. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's vital that we never forget our roots, and where we've come from. We may reach the dizzy heights of success, but by remaining rooted, we will be able to connect with anyone, regardless of background. There's a difference between an entrepreneur, and someone who has merely set up a business. Entrepreneurs are hungry. They take risks. They always bet big on the exciting ideas. Having strong opinions is one thing, but we must never be so closed-minded that we cannot listen to the perspective of others. No one can ever know everything. We need to remain open. Often, coaches spend more time selling the courses than actually offering any practical, actionable advice. It can be a case of smoke and mirrors. Look for guidance from those who have a track record of proven results, and who have helped others to achieve the same. BEST MOMENTS 'Never forget where you're coming from' 'My appearance shaped me to be who I am' 'I've got my own path, but I can be influenced by others opinions if I think they're valid' 'It's A for effort, not A for the result'  VALUABLE RESOURCES On A Mission - https://omny.fm/shows/on-a-mission Alison Edgar - https://alisonedgar.com Alison Edgar Twitter - https://twitter.com/thealisonedgar ABOUT THE HOST The On A Mission Podcast brings you Ellie Mckay's no holds barred chats with some of the UK's top business leaders, entrepreneurs, celebrities, athletes, top thought leaders, influencers and mindset experts.
