Doug interviews Tyler Dunagin, an entrepreneur and CEO and founder of Turnserv LLC. Tyler shares how he founded one of America's fastest growing companies and talks about his goal setting framework, business psychology and personal growth. Tyler also reveals how he maintains laser focus through daily journaling, whiteboard visualisation and how this helps him achieve success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tyler believes in deeply understanding your "why", when you know what truly motivates you beyond surface level, you'll have extra fuel to pursue your goals with determination. Visualisation drives Tyler's success, he keeps three horizons of goals visible on whiteboards everywhere: weekly goals, yearly goals, and 'delusional' long-term visions. Daily journaling transformed Tyler's accountability, he writes at least one bullet point every day about goal progress, framing entries as if leaving a legacy of lessons for his three sons. Tyler strategically chose property for his business, targeting a market with predictability (50% of renters move yearly), growth potential (housing shortage) and opportunities for innovation. Building company culture is about psychology, not spreadsheets. Tyler focuses on making systems simple for his team, connecting them to purpose and creating transparent processes. Tyler gives managers equity in his companies, ensuring team members' interests align with company goals, so when he discusses selling the company, they are invested. Tyler credits vulnerability for his growth, he intentionally put himself in rooms where he felt inadequate and embraced being 'the dumbest person there' to accelerate learning rather than trying to appear clever. BEST MOMENTS "If I don't write it down, if I don't have a deadline, if I don't have some sort of tractional plan, it just doesn't happen. And I've learned that about myself so literally every single capacity that I do in my life is goal oriented." "Every single day I need to be able to see the goals I have. So, at my office, at my home where I'm at now, I have a simple whiteboard and in as little space as possible, I keep those things. Here's my goals for this week, here's my goals for this year, and here's my crazy, if I showed anybody this, they would think I'm delusional." "When you understand why you do things first, you gotta preface that when you understand what you're motivated about and why the, you're gonna, you're gonna have some extra fuel." "Growing a big business, you need to first look at the market that you're getting into 'cause it matters. You don't want to be getting into a profession that's so dependent on one person and it's a dying industry." "I look at the companies I have today and how quickly they have grown and all the accolades and whatnot. All of those things started in my head way before they actually came tangible and anybody can do these kind of things." ABOUT THE GUEST Tyler Dunagin, CEO and Founder of Turnserv LLC.

In this episode, Jo & Vicky are joined by Gordon Burcham, a 3 times Martial Arts champion who runs his own martial arts school and has helped 1000s of other entrepreneurs to build successful martial arts businesses. He is also a public speaker, author and business & personal development coach. Gordon shares his journey to help you understand the connection between personal development, happiness and business success. In the process of doing so, Gordon, Jo & Vicky explain how to empower yourself for growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS Honing your business skills will only get you so far. The other half of the equation, the most vital part, is personal development. If you don´t work on yourself you won´t get much further than you are now. Personal development and growth empower you to be your true self and equip you to navigate the storms of life. You are the one that is holding yourself back. Look internally for the answers. Life is not about what happens to you, what you do with your experiences is what really matters. Don´t fall into the trap of being a victim. Your critical inner voice is wearing you down, take the wins as your wins. You won because of your efforts and ability, not because of luck. Self-love is vital. Love yourself for who you are, absolutely everything you are. Judgement is horrible, it´s a virus, give yourself a break. Instead, accept yourself and others. Toxicity comes from a lack of abundance, a lack of love. You worry that if someone else gets something or you share there won´t be enough for you. Empathy is powerful, it enables you to stop judging. Stop tearing each other down, accept that there is more than one way to do things. Not everyone has to do it like you. Embrace change don´t fear it. Be grateful for everything, even the small things e.g. the rain that grows your food, the sun that warms you. Living in gratitude generates joy and makes you happy every day. BEST MOMENTS “If I am looking externally for someone to help me, I lose all my power.” “His passing was a blessing in many ways because it led to me writing Live Life Happy.” “Get rid of the sh**t from the past.” “I beat the person that I've been battling for years, which was myself.” “The world is toxic because of judgement.” “This toxicity comes in, and this is where we're actually destroying an industry from within.” “Pause, don´t go straight in with that judgement.” “Your personal development journey is never done, it´s never finished.” ABOUT THE GUEST https://www.linkedin.com/in/gordonburcham https://www.gordonburcham.com Books - https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=Gordon+Burcham SOCIALS AND IMPORTANT LINKS https://www.tiktok.com/@letstalkdogbusiness https://www.youtube.com/@LetsTalkDogBusiness Website www.caninebusinessacademy.com Community Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/caninebusinessacademycommunity/ ABOUT THE HOSTS Meet Jo and Vicky!

Neil shares the second part in his journey from being a guitar teacher to building a multi-million pound investment property portfolio. He reflects on the pivotal moments that pushed him out of his comfort zone, including a life-changing cycling accident and the realisation that traditional teaching alone wouldn't lead to financial freedom. Neil discusses the importance of understanding net worth, the lessons learned from fellow property investors, and the value of investing in education and mentorship. He emphasises the significance of maintaining a passion for teaching while pursuing financial growth, encouraging listeners to believe in their potential to achieve similar success. Tune in for practical insights and inspiration to help you start, grow, and love your tutoring business. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding Net Worth: Net worth is defined as the value of all assets minus all debts. It's crucial to have a clear understanding of this concept to assess true financial health. Diversifying Income Streams: Relying solely on face-to-face teaching is limiting. Exploring investment opportunities, such as property, can create additional income streams and enhance financial security. Learning from Others: Engaging with experienced investors and seeking mentorship can provide valuable insights and help avoid common pitfalls in property investing. Investing in Education: Spending money on training and courses can be a strategic move to reduce risk and increase knowledge, ultimately leading to better investment decisions. Maintaining Passion: It's important to balance investment pursuits with personal passions. Success in business should not come at the expense of doing what you love, such as teaching or mentoring others. BEST MOMENTS "If I can give you some of what I found useful, maybe you'll find it useful for yourself." "I realised that to become a millionaire, especially as a guitar teacher, teaching face to face, one to one, was never going to cut it." "I later realized I was subconsciously putting pressure on myself, making sure that the cost of doing nothing... was so enormous as to terrorize me into action." "Whatever you do in property, don't do anything that takes you away from that. Because that's somebody else's dream life, and you already have yours." "It was possible for me and it's possible for you. If I can do it, if I can make this happen for myself, chances are you can do it too."

In today's episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Gary Whitt, The Urban Monk, who works with individuals to educate them on the journey to well-being and enlightenment. Gary, whilst serving in the police force, was a self-professed functioning alcoholic and narcissist, blaming other people and external situations for his problems.Upon travelling across America however he had an epiphany, recognising the journey he had been on was symbolic of his life up until that point in time. This revelation made him realise that he had to change his ways, learning to take responsibility for himself and his reactions. A message that he now wishes to share with others. KEY TAKEAWAYSIndividuals will only become self-aware when they are ready to do so.Childhood experiences shape how you are in adulthood.By being present it can help us to discover what we want from life.The words we tell ourselves have meaning and can either help or hinder our quest for well-being.Everyone is on their own unique and individual journey.People and circumstances can hold up a mirror to us to help us see what we still need to address and heal.Taking responsibility for the self is important for healing and growth. BEST MOMENTS“If I'm honest, from my personal perspective, everybody wants help, but they won't admit that they need help, or they're not ready to understand that they need help.”“You don't plant a seed and then every day dig it up to see if it's growing.”“And I joined the Navy straight from school and it was all about, being a man, you know, you've gotta do this. Take it on the chin. Be brave. Then I was 20 years in the police, exactly the same. And then I realized that what does happen in your childhood has a massive effect. I was the son of a very, very violent man, very abusive, I had a very dysfunctional family.”“As I entered Tennessee, I started hallucinating, which incidentally got me onto realizing how the brain works, how we've got one brain, but two halves, you know, you've got the conscious brain and the subconscious brain. So, for two hours, I was driving completely hallucinating, there was demons getting in the car. There were all kinds of things happening. And people were trying to climb in, I couldn't see, taillights looking like demon's eyes and looking at my sat nav, I drove two hours without realizing where I was.”“All my life I've been chasing something and like the opposite end of a magnet, I've just pushed it further and further and further away. So, I realized it was time to turn the magnet around and start attracting.”“People bury things deep inside the subconscious.”“It's not the life circumstance that is your issue. It's the way you deal with your life circumstance.” HOST BIODebbie is a seasoned therapist whose journey from being a primary school teacher to an adept therapist has been fuelled by her fascination with the intricacies of human nature.

In today's episode, Lou cats to world record holder and entrepreneur, Sophie Bennett. Sophie shares insights into her journey of achieving world records, including completing a 100-kilometer ski erg challenge. She delves into the concept of building resilience through incremental progress and the importance of setting achievable goals. Sophie also emphasizes the significance of surrounding oneself with individuals pursuing similar challenges to stay motivated and overcome mental barriers. KEY TAKEAWAYS Embrace discomfort as a means to push your limits and achieve your goals. Break down challenges into smaller, manageable tasks to build up resilience over time. Being around people who are working towards similar goals can provide motivation and inspiration. Plan ahead and set up systems to make it easier to take the first step towards your goals. Begin with small steps, such as running for 10 minutes or setting achievable daily goals, to build momentum towards larger accomplishments. BEST MOMENTS "If I know I can do 5K on the ski erg, then I know I can do 10, because once you've done five, you've only got five to go. And if you know you can do 10, then you know you can do 20, because you've only got 10 to go." "Doing something hard isn't doing something that is out there and obscene and new and extraordinary and all these things. Doing something hard is doing something you've never done before." "Just because I do hard things doesn't mean I have to do every hard thing." "For me, for business, getting started was the fear of having a 9-to-5. The fear of four weeks annual leave gives me the heebie-jeebies. Honestly, I just can't. I have so much to do. I can't fit that into four weeks! There's so much of the world to see." VALUABLE RESOURCES https://linktr.ee/theexerciseengineerlou@theexerciseengineer.com HOST BIO Lou's personal journey with body confidence and food struggles began at the age of 15, where overeating and guilt around food consumed her. But everything changed during the lockdown in March 2020. Determined to regain control, Lou immersed herself in research, found joy in working out in her garden, and started tracking her nutrition and steps. Surprisingly, she lost a stone in less than three months and discovered a newfound love for fitness. Fueling her passion, Lou pursued personal training qualifications and launched her Instagram page in September 2020. After months of building a solid foundation, branding, and gaining relevant expertise, she started helping others achieve what once felt impossible—losing fat, feeling empowered, and loving the journey without restrictions. With numerous success stories, digital products, and a thriving membership program called Train with Lou, Lou now coaches, teaches, and learns about food, exercise, and mindset.
Podcast Summit Ash and Kane talk all about the concept of podcast recycling in this episode. They focus on how you can ‘recycle' guests, content, sponsors and even other shows episodes, revealing why this is something every podcaster should be doing and also how it can help you get better sponsorship deals and build a better relationship with listeners too! KEY TAKEAWAYS You can ask your guests to recommend people for you to talk to next, they will almost always give you one of the best people they know. Your social media needs to showcase your podcast so when you reach out to guests they can instantly see what you do. You can use sponsors against each other! Many brands haven't sponsored brands yet, you can use this to your advantage particularly if you collect all your key metrics and approach them with it. Marketing can be defensive and in this case, large companies will want to advertise with you just to stop others from sponsoring you. Repurposing your content does allow you to secure sponsors more easily. Montages and ‘best bits' of your content can be a great way of repurposing your most popular content. Your guest episodes on other podcast shows are a great way to revisit who you are and your value, rebuilding your relationship with your audience. BEST MOMENTS "If I can introduce you to those people, it strokes my ego” “This is why it's really important to post consistently with clips of your podcast” “A lot of people haven't sponsored podcasts yet” “If their biggest competitor wants to sponsor you they will give you money, not to get leads but to ensure their competitor doesn't” “If you've been interviewed on another podcast and revealed a lot of stuff you haven't before on your show, that might be a great podcast to upload to your feed. It's a bit of content you don't have to think about” VALUABLE RESOURCES Website EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT Podcast Production - The Cost of the Wrong Choice How to Launch a Number 1 Podcast - Part 1 ABOUT THE HOSTS Kane Baron & Ashley Morris run the UK's first and largest Podcast Agency, Progressive Media.

Today, Andy sits down with Codebreak's latest Digital Marketing Apprentice, Abbi Evans. In this fast-paced episode, she and Andy discuss copywriting, ads, productivity, the role AI can play in marketing, using video and photos in the right way, overcoming people's short attention spans, and staying hungry. This fast-paced episode is packed with valuable tips. KEY TAKEAWAYS Apprenticeships are still underrated. They are a brilliant way to learn lifelong, transferable skills. What your audience responds to is evolving constantly. One reason, copywriting is a skill you have to keep honing. Short attention spans mean that headlines and images are increasingly important. Keep your ads factual and to the point. The photos and videos you use for your website and marketing materials are very important. In a visual world, they make a huge difference. Who you hang out with has a big impact. If they are driven, you will be too.

Lee discusses the importance of silence in both the external and internal world. He emphasises the need to create spaces for silence in meetings to allow people time to think and truly engage in the conversation. Lee challenges listeners to consider their comfort level with silence and how it affects their ability to listen and ask better questions. He suggests avoiding padding or justifying questions, and instead giving people the space and time to think before exploring their understanding. Lee also explores the concept of quieting the chatter in one's own mind to be fully present and actively listen. He encourages listeners to become more comfortable with silence, as it can lead to better answers and a deeper understanding of others. KEY TAKEAWAYS Creating space for silence: In meetings and conversations, it is important to save a seat for silence. Allowing people time to think without filling the silence with unnecessary words or padding on questions can lead to more thoughtful and meaningful responses. Comfort with silence: It is essential to assess one's comfort level with silence. Some individuals may feel nervous or uncomfortable with silence and tend to fill it with laughter, additional words, or noises. Recognising and addressing this discomfort can help create a more conducive environment for effective communication. External silence: When asking questions, it is important to be comfortable with silence in the external world. Avoid questions with unnecessary justifications or explanations. Instead, ask concise questions and give people the space and time to think before responding. This can lead to more genuine and thoughtful answers. Internal silence: To truly listen and be present in a conversation, it is crucial to quiet the chatter in one's internal mind. Starting with an empty cup, emptying the mind of biases and preconceived notions, and focusing solely on listening can enhance understanding and engagement in the conversation. Trusting safe space: Creating a trusting safe space is crucial for effective communication. Actively listening and showing genuine interest in others' thoughts and ideas can foster trust and encourage open and honest communication. Being comfortable with silence plays a significant role in creating this safe space. BEST MOMENTS "If I didn't [think every episode was important], then it wouldn't be an episode, so that's a silly thing for me to say." "Often, the only thinking time that people have is when somebody else is speaking, and that means, that they are not actually engaged fully and listening truly to what other people are saying." "Don't pad your questions out. Don't justify the reason why you've asked the question. Give people space and time to think about it first and then explore." "Start with an empty cup, means empty your mind of all of those thoughts and then just ask the first question and then your second question has got to be the mother of, I guess the answer that the person gives has got to be the mother of your next question, not your internal chatter." "Silence is just as important, if not more important, than what you say. So how can you become more comfortable with silence, both in the outside world and in your internal mind?" - Business Problems Solved Podcast You can contact Lee Houghton on 07813342194 Lee@leehoughton.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/lhoughton/ For the last 15 years, I have been a multi-sector internal or external business improvement consultant, building the improved capability of individuals, teams and businesses.

Liam shares his expertise on how to make 500,000 pounds from your first or next residential property development. With over 20 years of experience in the field, Liam emphasises that anyone, regardless of their background or financial situation, can become a property developer and achieve significant financial success. He discusses the high-income generating tasks of finding sites and securing funding, highlighting the abundance of opportunities in the UK's strong property market and stresses the importance of building a team of professionals and leveraging other people's time and experience to de-risk and successfully complete a development project. KEY TAKEAWAYS Property development can be a lucrative opportunity to make significant profits. The speaker mentions that even half a million pounds can make a huge difference in someone's life, regardless of their financial situation. The UK has a strong property market with a high demand for residential homes. There is a shortage of nearly 400,000 homes per year, creating a need for new developers. Starting small and playing it safe is recommended for beginners in property development. By de-risking the process and assembling a team of professionals, such as builders, surveyors, tax advisors, architects, estate agents, and brokers, individuals can successfully complete their first or next development. The two high-income generating tasks in residential development are finding suitable sites and securing funding. Developing relationships with agents, doing direct-to-vendor deals, and approaching development funders can help in finding sites and obtaining loans for the project. BEST MOMENTS "If I landed half a million pound into your bank account today, what difference would that have in your life?" "You can become a property developer, you can go and build residential houses that you can sell or keep, and you could make half a million pound from your first ever land development deal." "The opportunity is out there…doing something relatively small at the start, playing it ultra safe, making sure it's completely de-risked." "Surely it's worth giving it a go…I've done 28 million pounds worth of property deals right now."

Rob speaks to fitness influencer Jay Alderton at an industry summit. They discuss how to build personal brands and email lists to future-proof your business against social media algorithm changes. Jay shares fitness industry insights while Rob provides tactical tips on becoming indispensable through consistency, creating accountability, and monetizing social media followers. Learn why you should focus on value creation, detach from rejection, and keep hustling no matter how comfortable life gets. With insightful questions from audience members, humorous banter, and loads of actionable business and mindset advice, you'll walk away from this episode motivated and bursting with ideas. KEY TAKEAWAYS Build your email list to own your audience - social media channels can delete you anytime, but your list is portable. Convert followers through consistent value and pitches. Create accountability to drive results - get uncomfortable! Sign up for a big charity boxing match or other public goal. Discomfort and accountability breed motivation. Monetize social media followers - give value first, then make the ask. Just 1 sale a day = over £100k revenue yearly. Don't worry about seeming “salesy." Detach from rejection - it's never personal. People judge you based on their own biases. Don't pin your self-worth on other's snap judgements. Transcend others' judgments, especially around money. Getting rich doesn't make you a bad person - money is a neutral tool. Use it for good. Keep hustling and creating value - getting too comfortable is dangerous. Shake things up and make yourself indispensable. BEST MOMENTS "If I can get 5 per cent of them on rob.team, that's a fuck ton of people." "People will judge you anyway. So you might as well be fucking rich and be judged." "Rejection is never personal, it's always about them." "You have to be uncomfortable. Sign up for a big charity boxing match!"

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. In the second episode of my two-part special, coach and mentor Allan Kleynhans talks about the human revolution that occurred taking him from a life buried in drug addiction and destructive beliefs to knowing for the very first time in his life what he wanted to do with his life, and his journey to becoming a world-class coach helping others to dissolve the blocks that stop them from realising their fullest potential. Please join me as we look at life through a different lens. Please join me as we look at life through a different lens. KEY TAKEAWAYS Allan knows that anyone can change their life if they truly have the desire. He was at rock bottom but discovered he had all the tools he needed to change things. Coaching and personal development is real, it can change anyone's life. Allan doesn't care what anyone says about organised religion now, he doesn't believe in it at all, it is a man-made construct that is built upon a foundation of power and control. Unity and faith are the true paths to religion and God. The current education system indoctrinates children to believe that they're wrong. That institutions are always right and your creativity is wrong. If you are taught autonomy, power and creativity then you become a free thinker. To know what love is, you have to love yourself first. If you want to change the world you need to love yourself and your family and people.

In this episode, Jay is interviewed by Dennis Brown on the Growth Experts Podcast. Jay talks to Dennis all about his journey into entrepreneurship including how he used his expertise to build a 7-figure business as well as how he helps other entrepreneurs with their own start-ups. Dennis and Jay also reveal the secrets to creating a business that can scale both quickly and sustainably. KEY TAKEAWAYS Since a child, Jay always learnt how to create and make his own money. It built the foundations for his journey into entrepreneurship and business. Jay decided to focus on the manufacturing recruitment niche, to allow him to focus and scale fast. Look at your potential clients/customers pain points and fix them for them. This gives you an edge over your competitors. Look at gaps in your industry where you can make a difference. As a small business, you can be adaptable and easily differentiate yourself. You can't always be better than your competitors, but you can easily be different. Sales and marketing should always be the two things you focus on first. If they aren't driving the business, then you won't be able to scale. Don't waste time on tasks that don't add revenue. As a business owner your focus should be on revenue-generating tasks or that grow the business. Anything else is a distraction. BEST MOMENTS ‘If I want to be successful, I need to go into a market that was booming…scalability was there' ‘We listened, we went the extra mile' ‘Focus on what revenue you can bring in, you'll always grow that way” VALUABLE RESOURCES The Business Mentor Podcast - https://www.jay-dhillon.com/podcast Jay Dhillon's website - https://www.jay-dhillon.com Jay Dhillon YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNRouhFVktGDQcCRAzoHydQ ABOUT THE HOST - Jay Dhillon has grown businesses from start-up to success and helped many others do the same.

Jay has gone onto further success since the sale, creating a strong business brand with his companies and helping others do the same. In 2013, Jay was approached to work with the Prince's Trust, one the UK largest business mentoring programmes. His support and guidance helped young entrepreneurs start and grow their own businesses.

Bass-baritone Chadley Ballantyne is Assistant Professor of Music, Voice at Stetson University. Dr Ballantyne is a frequent guest speaker on the topic of applying vocal acoustic pedagogy for both classical and CCM techniques. He joins Alexa this week on Singing Teachers Talk to discuss acoustics, formants, and resonances. Think of this episode as your guide to getting to grips with vocal acoustics. KEY TAKEAWAYS Within voice pedagogy, there is no consistency in the use of terms formant and resonance. Chadley explains that the vocal tract is a resonator with multiple resonances. Those resonances create formants in the radiated sound. So the formant is the thing that we hear and affects timbre, and the resonance is the thing in the vocal tract that causes the formant. The F1 and F2 formants are known as the vowel formants, they're impacted quite a lot by the movement of the mouth. We can create favourable matchups for certain vocal techniques by lining up a vowel with a harmonic. One of the articulation problems Chadley runs into is that a lot of singers don't use their tongue in an open space, but instead crimping that open space to meet the tongue. We want our tongue to be active and precise. The vowel E needs high frequency energy to stand out in contrast to the low frequency energy in your tone. BEST MOMENTS ‘If I can move a formant I can do something with it and get better at it' ‘You use language everyday so you use formants all day long' ‘We don't even realise our body is reacting to that oncoming change' ‘This R that I've been given so much grief about in my classical singing is actually so cool' EPISODE RESOURCES BAST Training Guest Website https://www.chadleyballantyne.com/ https://www.stetson.edu/other/faculty/chadley-ballantyne.php Relevant Links & Mentions: Pan-American Vocology Association Symposium: pavavocology.org NATs (National Association of Teachers of Singing): nats.org Vocology in Practice: www.vocologyinpractice.org The Evolving Singing Voice: Changes Across the Lifespan by Karen Brunssen Ken Bozeman: www.kenbozeman.com Justin Stoney & New York Vocal Coaching: www.newyorkvocalcoaching.com Singing Teachers Talk Podcast: Ep. 48 Getting Started as A Teacher, Creating Content & Vocal Versatility with Justin Stoney Overtone Singing Ian Howell: ianhowellcountertenor.com Voce Vista & Bodo Maas: vocevista.com Practical Vocal Acoustics & Kinesthetic Vocal Pedagogy by Ken Bozeman The work of Donald Gray Miller ABOUT THE GUEST Bass-baritone Chadley Ballantyne is Assistant Professor of Music, Voice at Stetson University.

The second funniest lean guy Lee chats with the funniest lean guy Jake Harrell. Jake has been in various leadership roles in manufacturing and distribution and utilises his seductive personality to move people onto the same page as himself and gain business results through cooperation. Even though barely clothed, Jake still discloses all his secrets on problem solving and motivation. Oh, and dating adventures. KEY TAKEAWAYS Jake started in hospitality, as the ‘hi, how are you?' guy. This is how he learned to be skilled in interactions and full on seduction. You have got to want to solve the problem more than anyone else in the room. Enthusiasm gets everyone's attention. Make it fun and the people will want to engage. Collaboration, although not a natural instinct in competitive industries, is the main key to problem solving and the general smooth running of business. Jake is living the dream encouraging people to do this. Just do the things you want to do. Over caution and risk avoidance is no fun. No one ever had a good time putting money in a savings account. BEST MOMENTS ‘If I walk in and go, “Y'all suck. How we gonna get better? Well you guys know you're not doing the best you can right now.” That just sucks, right? The animation, the attitude I can bring can make it fun where it's not personal to the individual.' – Jake ‘All I want is for Lee Houfton?…Hoofton?…Hoogieton?..Hufton? All I want is for him to be successful. If I want that more than I want it for myself people are going to come to me for collaboration not the other way round.' -Jake ‘I remember being told by a consultant to smarten my act, get better shoes, stop wearing jumpers, start wearing shirts to actually make it as a consultant because that's what he perceived was the successful thing a consultant needs to do.' – Lee ‘Remove that barrier of yourself holding you back. If there's something dumb you want to get out there and do, do it. Have you ever played Monopoly..ly? Imagine you go round the board, but the only rule is you can't spend money on anything.' – Jake GUEST RESOURCES Jake Harrell his Linkedin Link: (99+) Jake Harrell - The Funniest Lean Guy | LinkedIn His video podcast link: A Quality Podcast - John Thacker and Jake Harrell - YouTube VALUABLE RESOURCES Business Problems Solved Podcast ABOUT THE HOST For the last 15 years, I have been a multi-sector internal or external business improvement consultant, building the improved capability of individuals, teams and businesses.

In this episode, Jill Thiry explains to Mighty Pete about her eight steps to realizing her goals, and the process she uses with her coaching clients to get them to realize theirs. Considering Thiry's passion for her work, you may think her methods would be strict, but one of the cornerstones of her philosophy is kindness and love, with the reasoning that more will grow out of a sense of nourishment. In her coaching practice she uses a combination of visualization, mantra, intention setting and a scientific methodology to ignite a gradual, transformative change in people's lives. KEY TAKEAWAYS Start big and then narrow down. Have a brainstorming session with yourself and uncover some of your big dreams, then slowly pick out a sentence or a word that pertains to that goal. Then decide on a step you can take to move towards that goal. If things stop being fun, stop doing them. Let your curiosity guide your growth. The more you experiment with goal setting, the louder your ‘heart voice' will become, and the easier it will become the person you're spiritually supposed to be. Don't be afraid to ask for help and show vulnerability. Being vulnerable is a big part of the journey. BEST MOMENTS “If I promise to myself and to you, that I'm going to commit to doing this one thing for the next week or the next month or the next year…but if I speak it, it kind of works to get it out of the spin.” “I'm going to say that there is nothing more (important) than your own health and wellness, because it shows love for yourself. I do believe that it is difficult for you to love other things and other people, and be a great mentor and example, if you don't love yourself. … Your health and wellness, which for me is wholeness…you do share that love with others.” (Allowing herself to follow her ‘yeses') “Why am I doing this? What do I get out of it? What do I enjoy out of it, what do I not enjoy?” “One of my gifts I think is making it simple and easy enough that people can practice it without judging themselves, without getting an ego.” ABOUT THE GUEST Jill Thiry is a nomad, both in terms of her career and in her life. After getting her BA at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, she followed her passion for teaching and fitness to the local YWCA, where she became the fitness director. After that, she moved to Europe and spent two years teaching skiing and kayaking, and then backpacked through Southeast Asia before heading back to the United States. She got an MBA from the University of San Francisco, and worked in the publicity industry until 2001, when 9/11 was the catalyzing force behind a divorce and a career change. She began to split her time between Mexico and Southern California, working at a spa called Rancho de la Puerta in one and running a coaching business in the other. She has developed a mentoring process which she employs with her clients to this day. She still splits her time between Mexico and San Diego.

Join Ping, Sarah, and Dorien as they discuss the difference between copying and being inspired by another piece of art. As well as that you'll hear all about the different forms of inspiration and what inspires these Thriving Women Artists. See the list of inspirations in the links below. KEY TAKEAWAYS By copying someone else's work you can't truly know and understand the reasoning behind the work. When Sarah copies someone else's work she does not publish or post anything, she keeps it in her sketch book. This is a technique to learn to illustrate something that you don't have a lot of experience in. It is essentially practice to learn from and then adapt into your own style. You can spend too much time trying to inspire yourself and not enough time making your own work. Going down a Pinterest rabbit-hole can give some inspiration, but can also just be a distraction. You don't have to only find inspiration in visual art. So many artists are inspired by books they read as a child and the music they're listening to. Learning to create your own artwork takes time. But all good things take time. BEST MOMENTS ‘If I had kept going with copying other artists then I would not be where I am today' ‘You learn less by copying, rather than being inspired by something' ‘You are the magic!'

DESCRIPTION In this episode, Joel and Andy talk about confirmation bias. How it affects your mindset, business decision making abilities. As well as the role it plays in how you do your marketing. They share several examples of what confirmation bias is and why it is important to be aware of it and work to manage it. They share several ways to do that particularly when making decisions about how to market your business. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is all too easy to make marketing decisions based mostly on what you think works or on what your competitors are doing. Your liking FB and competitors doing a lot of FB ads is not a good enough reason to base all your marketing campaigns around them. Open your mind and consider several different ways to advertise. Go to a marketing agency with your objective rather than tell them which forms of ads you want to do. Marketing has to have a purpose. Don´t micromanage your marketing. Let the agency do that. Split test and follow the numbers. Be aware of how what you read etc feeds into your biases and work to keep your thought processes in balance. How to do this is explained in the podcast. Sometimes you have to go with your gut. You don´t have time to procrastinate. Your gut instinct will only be useful if you have fed your mind with the right information. BEST MOMENTS ‘If I think something, I try and research around that topic to disprove that idea. ´ ‘Sometimes you have to make decisions based on your gut.' ‘Seek out an unbiased third party and do proper due diligence.'

Have you been wanting to get into property for a while, but wondered how many people are successful? Join host Kevin McDonnell as he talks to Ben Brand, a Progressive Property trainee who found success in serviced accommodation after attending a Progressive Property event. Together they discuss the ins and outs of serviced accommodation, how to utilise social media as a marketing tool and why now is the perfect time to invest in property. KEY TAKEAWAYS Serviced accommodation is a disruptive yet simple property investment strategy. When investing in serviced accommodation you can provide a service that massively undercuts the hotels as a better value product. If you are a contractor and had the option between paying $50 for a hotel or $25 for a nice house, it becomes a no brainer. The basic premise of serviced accommodation is you take a house or an apartment and you provide a hotel-like service. Essentially, somebody can rent the property off you by the night and you will provide basic services. The basic business consent in rent to serviced accommodation is that you rent a property for a fixed amount and then re-rent the property on a nightly basis. You can charge a far higher amount over a month. Anything between your fixed costs and the overall gross turnover you make is your profit margin. Marketing your business through social media will allow you to scale your property business. Social media is essentially free, to begin with. As you grow you can start to utilise paid adverts but until then you can market your business for free via your smartphones. Social media allows you to create a community, meet new people and create a lot of new opportunities. Now is a good time than ever to get into the property market. Getting into serviced accommodation in the current property climate and the idea of long term guaranteed rent is compelling to many people. First and foremost you need to get educated in property strategies. There are tonnes of opportunity out there. Many people are worried that they are not right for property investment. Everyone has something unique about them that they can use as a strength. Focus on the positives that you bring and then look at the risks. You only get one life and whilst it may be intimidating to begin with, the risks of not doing it in the first place greatly outweigh the risks of going ahead and trying it. If you show up enough times, you will eventually get what you want.

‘I f-ing love myself and you should love yourself too' Gavan asks if when you really look in the mirror ‘are you living your truth or someone else's life? Increasingly in the world of social media people present a persona which may not reflect their true self – it's what they think others want to see but it's important to be authentic and true to yourself. Now one else but you can do the work needed to be the person you are proud of when you look in the mirror but the work required is woven throughout every episode of the speed mentor podcast, listen in and find out more. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are many people in society who transmit a different persona to the outside world to the one on the inside, they are living a lie. This creates misery within the person and for those around them - It's a recipe for disaster. The answer to this misery lies in the ability to be more open about your life, feelings along with your wins and failures. It's vital we have permission to be more transparent and authentic and are not judged by ourselves or others. We must show the authentic part of ourselves to the world. If you want to have the success you are capable of and want to have a contented life where you love yourself and have a positive impact on those around you being the catalyst for change you must love yourself. If you look in the mirror and you don't like the person you see, only you can do the hard work to get yourself to a point where you like the person staring back at you. You can only love yourself if you are leading an authentic life and telling the truth to everyone and most importantly to yourself. Only you can make the change that enables you to linger in front of the mirror, look in the mirror or look away only you can choose. BEST MOMENTS ‘If I hadn't lost everything in the property crash I might not have become my true authentic self' ‘It was me peacocking because I wasn't comfortable in my own skin' ‘Go and look at yourself in the mirror – not to see your dimples and crimples but to look into your soul' ‘Are you living your truth or someone else's life?'

Welcome back to The Progressive Property Podcast. Peter continues the property strategy mini-series and today discusses Rent2Rent. If you're looking to invest in property with little or none of your own money, generate an instant monthly cashflow and benefit from property capital growth, Rent2Rent is the strategy for you. In its basic form, you're essentially renting a property and then sub-letting it on to someone else for a monthly cashflow. Tune in today to hear the pros and cons of Rent2Rent property investing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Stereotypically you might be renting it from a tired landlord and then sub-letting it on to a tenant that wants to live in the property. You'll guarantee the monthly rent to the owner. For some of us, the term sub-letting is a bad word, but Rent2Rent is perfectly above board if you do it right. Rent2Rent is about negotiating a long-term tenancy from a current landlord that's mutually beneficial. The good thing is you can negotiate a lower rent as you'll be taking it on a long-term and sub-letting it for a higher monthly income. You're taking aware of the risk of them have a void and the property is empty. This means the landlord will have no issues with the property and see an income coming in every month. Be careful how you structure you agree with the owner of the property. You need to make sure your agreement is not in any violation of the landlord's mortgage. Make sure you do your due-diligence here so that there are no issues with you using the Rent2Rent property as part of your portfolio. Once you have an agreement in place you can also agree an option deal to purchase the property for an agreed price today for a future purchase. Rent2Rent can be a great strategy that adds to the overall pot of what you're doing. You can use this strategy in conjunction with other strategies to help give you a monthly cashflow and build towards the property goals you want to achieve. The big benefit of Rent2Rent is that you can start with very little capital. You don't actually have to buy the property. However, as you won't own the property you won't benefit from any capital growth. This isn't an investment as much as it is a property activity. BEST MOMENTS "If I was doing a Rent2Rent I would always agree on an option deal with the landlord. This way you will earn the cashflow to purchase the property in 2,3,4 years time and you will benefit from the capital growth of the property" “You can take all of the costs and hassle away from the landlords. This is why Rent2Rent is very attractive to a lot of property owners.“ “Rent2Rent has progressed over the years and it is now used as a strategy for larger properties, in particular, HMO's. Although you won't be seeing your asset grow, you will be seeing a monthly cash flow. You could then use this cashflow as a deposit for future property investment strategies such as flips or your own HMO projects.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Join the Progressive Property Community here: http://www.thepropertyteacher.co.uk/ ABOUT THE HOST Peter Jones is a Chartered Surveyor, an author and a serial buy-to-let property investor.
