Starting a business has many challenges. One of the main ones Tim Walmsley faced was the feeling of guilt, which led to feeling anxious. A topic we dived deep into on this week's The Mind to Lead episode. Welcome to Fab 5 Fridays, 5 minutes to explain my key takeaways from my conversation with this weeks guest, Tim Walmsley. 3 tips on how to deal with anxiety as an entrepreneur: 1. Know it's going to be hard work so have the right people around you to support you. 2. Make time for your friends and family. 3. Enjoy the journey and run your own race. ---------------------------------------- Connect with Tim ---------------------------------------- Website - https://www.benchon.com/ Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-walmsley ---------------------------------------- Connect with Georgie ---------------------------------------- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Georgielhubbard Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/Georgielhubbard Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/Georgiehubbard ---------------------------------------- About Georgie Hubbard ---------------------------------------- Business Owner, Career and Emotional Intelligence Coach. I'm also the woman behind the mic for The Mind To Lead Podcast. Having suffered terribly with anxiety throughout my 20's (to the point where I would have panic attacks on the way to work.) I've made it my mission to create thriving workforces and companies. So that you and nobody else has to suffer the way I did. With the average person spending 1/3 of their life at work, I believe everyone has the right to enjoy that time. Having worked in environments where I have felt overwhelmed, frustrated and too scared to speak up; I want to know why in some organisation people thrive, and in others, people merely survive. With stress and burnout on the rise, it has never been more critical to have open and honest conversations around mental health and wellbeing. You can't change other people but, you can change yourself. How we show up daily matters and has a significant impact on not just ourselves, but those around us. I believe long-lasting happiness comes down to feeling that we are growing and contributing every day. So this is WHY I started The Mind To Lead Podcast to learn, grow and give back to those looking to master the mindset it takes to lead.

My name is Gerard Doyle. And on this show, I take marketing questions from listeners to provide answers so that everybody who tunes in can learn a little bit more about marketing and hope they find some ideas for their business. [music] So in today’s episode, we’re going to look firstly at calculating the cost of acquisition of your customers and other marketing variables like ROI and ROAS and discuss the differences between those two. After that, we’re going to spend a bit of time talking about more complicated tracking models where it might require an offline sale or a long sale cycle and how to relate that marketing money that you’re spending very early on back to that end sale and the customer value. And finally, we’re going to spend some time looking at animation and the power of animation in video marketing and how we can deliver clarity of message through an uncluttered interface. So our first question this week comes from Cass from [inaudible]. And her question is, “How do you calculate the cost per acquisition if your primary acquisition method is profitable?” Good question, Cass. And I think it speaks to one of the problems with marketing is that and like all industries, I guess, is we have a tendency to create a lot of our own words, a lot of our own acronyms, initialisations, and things that just make marketing generally confusing when it need not be. I think back to some of the rules that people like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk employed in their companies. And they just started stopping people from coming up with new acronyms inside the company because it just made life really difficult. But we are where we are [laughter]. And to answer your question, look, it is still possible to have a cost of acquisition particularly even if you’re profitable because it’s only the cost of acquisition is only the denominator in the ROI calculation. So what I’m talking about there is if you’re looking at the ROI of your marketing,
