"Pay Yourself First." It's become a buzzword in business…but what does it really mean?In this week's episode, we're diving into one of the biggest sources of financial stress for business owners – paying yourself. Most of us weren't taught how to handle business finances, and it creates a ton of anxiety. Am I saving enough? Doing it right? Transferring money properly?We get into:What “paying yourself first” actually looks like in practiceWhy you can't pay yourself with money the business isn't makingHow consistency is key (just like rent or your EMR)Whether to use payroll or just transfer funds directlyHow to overcome the anxiety and confusion around business financesAt the end of the day, the most important thing you can do to pay yourself well is to make the business successful. There's no revenue cap — so optimizing your caseload is the fastest way to give yourself a raise.

In this latest episode of Business Accelerator, host Phil Tarrant and co-host Jason Back discuss the often-complex industry that is broking, giving a bird's eye overview of the opportunities and challenges. For brokers looking to grow their businesses, Back emphasises the importance of operational excellence and the need to balance personal exertion with sustainable practices. He also discusses the role of consultants in helping brokers navigate these challenges, providing accountability and support to drive meaningful change. Technology continues to shape the industry at a rapid pace. Brokers who want to remain ahead of the tech revolution must adapt to these changes. The ongoing need for trusted partnerships in financial decision making remains crucial, even as technology continues to transform the industry.

Do you adore your work but lately find it draining rather than energising? In this episode, Anna Lundberg explores the hidden pitfalls of passion-driven businesses - how loving what you do can still lead to burnout, and practical steps to reclaim balance and sustainability. Tune in for a refreshing perspective and actionable advice designed to help you protect your wellbeing while delivering your best work. Key Takeaways Loving Your Work Doesn't Make You Immune to Burnout: Passion is powerful, but over-delivering and poor boundaries can lead to exhaustion - even when you deeply care about your business and clients. Boundaries Are Essential for Sustainable Success: Building boundaries into your business model and daily routines is vital to prevent draining your energy and sacrificing your personal life. Revisit Your Pricing and Offers: Ensure your fees reflect both the emotional and energetic load of your services. Let go of profitable offerings if they consistently leave you depleted. Intensity Isn't Sustainable: While occasional busy periods are normal, constant overworking should not be the status quo. Design your business to support your capacity and lifestyle as it is now. Sustainable Growth Is Possible (and Necessary): You don't have to choose between ambition and wellbeing. Success can - and should -come without sacrifice, with systems that allow you to thrive long-term. Feeling drained by the very business you built to give you freedom? If your passion is starting to feel like pressure, and your business is taking more than it gives... it's time to rethink how you're growing. Inside the Business Accelerator, you'll redesign your expert business for more energy, more income, and more ease - with smarter structure, sustainable offers, and boundaries that protect your time (and your wellbeing).

Burnout hits pelvic rehab business owners twice as hard.First, there's the emotional and mental weight of treating patients with chronic and complex issues—something all clinicians face.But then there's a second, heavier layer: the unique stress and responsibility of owning a business. You're wearing all the hats. Managing a team. Marketing. Making financial decisions. Juggling it all—and still trying to be present in your actual life.In this episode, we talk about:The two layers of burnout that hit business ownersWhy owning a business is a marathon, not a sprintHow to recognize the early signs of burnout before it takes overStrategies we use (and teach!) to prevent burnout while running a business you're proud of✨ Want to create a business that energizes you instead of draining you?

Not all great mortgage brokers are natural leaders, but the good news? Leadership can be learned. This was the topic of discussion in this latest episode of Business Accelerator with Jason Back and Alex Whitlock. Here, the pair relay the key skills needed to be an effective leader. Great leadership isn't just about being in charge – it's about creating an environment where your team thrives, clients trust you, and your business scales.

Are you finding that your business growth is coming at the cost of your freedom, ease, or sense of fulfilment? In this episode, Anna Lundberg shares why “more” isn't always better - especially if more clients and more revenue are leaving you stressed, overworked, or simply feeling boxed in by the business you've built. Tune in to discover practical strategies for recalibrating your business so it delivers not just profit, but also genuine freedom and satisfaction. Key Takeaways Rethink What Growth Means for YouMore revenue doesn't always equal more freedom—sometimes, it simply means more stress. Anna urges listeners to reconsider what they truly want from growth, challenging the notion that scaling up is always the best path. Sustainable Growth Over Stressful SuccessIf growth is making you feel less in control or more exhausted, it's a sign to recalibrate. Sustainable growth should energise you, not drain you. Practical Shifts for Sustainable Success Streamline and narrow your offerings to avoid overwhelm. Firm up your boundaries—know when to say no and protect your time. Fix “leaky systems” in your client onboarding, communication, and delivery to maximise efficiency and profitability. Simplify your marketing efforts to avoid burnout and ensure every action works harder for you. Quality Over QuantitySometimes, fewer (but higher quality) clients can mean more fulfilment and profit with less stress. Regularly Audit and Adjust Pause periodically to assess what's working (not just financially, but energetically), and be willing to refine your business model, pricing, and delivery accordingly. Ready to grow - without losing the freedom you left corporate for? If you're finding yourself stretched thin, constantly juggling clients, or scaling in a way that doesn't feel like success… it's time to recalibrate. Inside the Business Accelerator, you'll redesign your expert business for more revenue and more freedom - with a smarter model, sustainable offers, and clearer boundaries to grow in a way that actually works for you.

What actually makes a pelvic health business thrive?In this episode, we break down the Three Pillars of Business we teach inside the Business Accelerator: 1️⃣ Marketing + Sales 2️⃣ Business Systems 3️⃣ Clinical Excellence (getting buy-in and taking patients through their full plan of care)Most practices feel stuck because one (or more!) of these pillars is missing or weak. You can't out-market a broken patient experience. You can't build a team without systems. And you can't grow a sustainable business without getting the right people in the door.We talk about what goes into each pillar, common mistakes we see, and how to build a business you're proud of that actually works for your life.

Historically, brokers scaled by hiring more staff, but AI and automation now allow smaller teams to handle higher volumes efficiently. This was the topic of discussion in the latest episode of Business Accelerator. Here, hosts Alex Whitlock and Jason Back unpack how to effectively leverage AI and tech to scale and grow a brokerage. However, tech efficiency must be balanced with human connection. Relationships should remain the ultimate consideration.

How do you turn a string of spontaneous decisions - and even some tough health setbacks - into a thriving business and an impactful brand? This month, Anna welcomes public speaking pro Alex Merry, founder of the MicDrop community, for an open conversation about resilience, redefining success, and building a business that truly works for you. Key takeaways: The Journey From Charity Fundraising to Thought LeadershipAlex shares his unexpected career twists, from football coaching and charity fundraising to hosting TEDx and founding Mic Drop, a community for aspiring and established thought leaders. Redefining Success After SetbacksHealth challenges forced Alex to re-evaluate his definition of success—he now prioritises health, meaningful impact, and contribution over external validation and grinding for growth. From Doing It All to Streamlining for ImpactAlex candidly discusses how hiring a business coach helped him simplify his services, focus on what brings most fulfilment, and structure his business (including stepping away from ‘being everything to everyone'). The Realities of Personal Branding and Fear of SuccessNavigating life in the public eye brings its own challenges, from handling viral attention to dealing with criticism and the unexpected ‘fear of success' that can follow big wins. Building a Healthy, Sustainable RoutineAnna and Alex discuss setting boundaries, working with loved ones, integrating time off, and building in resilience so your business supports your lifestyle—not the other way around.

In this edition of What Went Wrong, I got a chance to explore mistakes, missteps, and the humbling reality that even seasoned pros can land flat on their face with repeat guest Robin Waite. This time, he didn't come with a polished pitch or a shiny success story. He brought a cautionary tale about Facebook ads, cold leads, and a £9,000 lesson in what happens when you trust the algorithm more than your instincts. Key Points from the Conversation with Robin Waite Even Experts Trip Up Robin isn't new to marketing—he ran an agency for 12 years. But when it came to Facebook ads for his own coaching business, he got caught in the allure of automation and scale. What started strong eventually crashed, all because the warm audience he'd been nurturing for years dried up. Your Audience Isn't Infinite Facebook ads worked—until they didn't. The moment his familiar, friendly audience was exhausted, the leads stopped flowing. Robin kept the campaign running for three more months, hoping it would fix itself. It didn't. Turns out, if you don't refill your marketing funnel, it doesn't matter how clever your copy or shiny your creative. Know Enough to Stay Dangerous Robin outsourced the nitty-gritty to so-called ad experts, trusting they'd fix the problem. But no one could explain what was going wrong. That blind spot cost him. The lesson? You don't need to be the expert, but you need to know enough to ask the right questions. When in Doubt, Go Back to What Works With his budget blown and confidence shaken, Robin went back to basics—his podcast, speaking gigs, and book. Instead of chasing cold leads, he rebuilt slowly by focusing on brand-building and trust, knowing that meaningful connections take time. Marketing is Just One Big Science Fair Like any good experiment, sometimes things blow up. And that's okay. Robin reminded us that failure is part of the formula—especially in marketing. The trick is not to avoid mistakes, but to make better ones next time. Takeaways for Business Owners Warm audiences are wonderful—but they won't last forever. Always be adding new people to the top of your funnel. Facebook ads can be powerful—but only if you understand the mechanics. Don't hand over your entire budget without oversight. Track what's working, and don't be afraid to pivot. If your gut says something's off, it probably is. When the fancy stuff fails, go back to your roots. Relationships, conversations, and trust still matter most. And maybe most important of all: Marketing isn't magic. It's messy, imperfect, and beautifully human—just like us. About Robin Waite Robin is the founder of Fearless Business, a Business Accelerator for Coaches, Consultants and Freelancers. Having spent 12 year's running a digital marketing business, Robin pivoted in 2016 to focus on the part of his business he liked the best; training business owners how to be better in business. In 2016 Robin founded Fearless Business, a unique Business Growth Accelerator for Coaches, Consultants and Freelancers so help free them from the sales cycle of doom!

The importance of customer service and the power it has to capture and retain clients was the topic of discussion in this week's episode of Business Accelerator. Clients today expect instant engagement. Responding within five minutes of an inquiry significantly boosts conversion. Further to that, communication must be upheld. The biggest client grievance isn't about rates or fees – it's lack of communication. In a digital age where automation risks making service feel impersonal, brokers who prioritise human connection will thrive.

If every client engagement feels bespoke, it's time to rethink your approach. Anna shares why creating a signature process for experts is the secret to growing sustainably — with clarity, confidence, and client trust. Key takeaways: Clients Buy Your Method, Not Your Minutes Learn why shifting from selling bespoke hours to a clearly defined process instantly boosts your confidence, value, and client trust. Turn Expertise Into Intellectual Property (IP) Discover how to uncover and articulate your signature way of working, making it a cornerstone for scalable, sustainable growth—no legal jargon required. The Power of a Signature Process A well-crafted method not only streamlines client delivery but also enhances pricing, enables you to delegate, and supports new offers like group programmes or licensing. Simple Over Complex The most effective frameworks are clear, easy to remember, and flexible enough for real-world client work—plus, they set you apart as a thought leader. Ready-Made Frameworks in Popular Practice Get inspired by examples like Brené Brown's Daring Leadership, Donald Miller's StoryBrand, and Anna's own 5 Pillars and Intentional Business Triad. Tired of reinventing the wheel for every client? If you're ready to grow your expert business in a smarter, more sustainable way, it's time to stop selling your time, and start owning your method. Inside the Business Accelerator, you'll get the strategic support and clear structure you need to build a business that works for you - with intentional growth, sustainable offers, and your own signature process at the core.

In this latest episode of Business Accelerator, host Alex Whitlock and co-host Broker Essentials' Jason Back give some guidance on how to turn knowledge into action to drive development. Breaking down a brokerage is an important foundational step. There are a variety of directions a business can go and what is ‘right' will depend entirely on the individual's aspirations. However, Back said there are some core fundamentals that can help drive success. Prioritising one action at a time and managing the small wins is key to driving sustainable growth.

Gone are the days when clients were satisfied with an annual check-in or a Christmas card. Today's borrowers expect real-time updates, constant digital engagement, and personalised interactions. This episode of Business Accelerator with Alex Whitlock and Jason Back explored the constant flux of consumer needs and how important it is for brokers to be aware of a shifting market. Brokers must move beyond transactional relationships and focus on ongoing engagement, whether through monthly market updates, milestone celebrations, or interactive tools. The one-size-fits-all approach no longer works. Successful brokers now segment their audience, develop deep expertise in specific areas, and create hyper-personalised content.

Are you brilliant at what you do, but weary of the endless ups and downs in finding clients? In this episode, Anna shares a refreshing approach to building a steady stream of clients - without falling into the trap of burnout, relentless hustle, or relying solely on “lucky” referrals. Get ready to learn how to set up a sustainable business infrastructure that works for you, so you can enjoy greater freedom, flexibility, and fulfilment. Key takeaways: Content Is Not a Client Engine Merely posting online will not reliably bring in clients - content is important, but not sufficient on its own, especially in today's saturated digital world. Referrals: Powerful but Unpredictable Word-of-mouth and client referrals can be an excellent source, especially when you start, but without a systematic approach, they're not a guarantee for sustainable growth. Build a Thoughtful, Repeatable Client Engine Success comes from having a strategic infrastructure built around three pillars: Positioning: Be crystal clear about who you serve, the problem you solve, and what makes you different. Messaging: Communicate your value in your audience's language, focusing on real-world outcomes rather than abstract concepts. Systems: Establish simple, repeatable processes for moving people from curiosity to client, so your business isn't dependent on your daily energy or motivation. Sustainable Lead Generation Anna highlights three sources for consistently attracting new clients: Thoughtful, genuine networking (not sleazy prospecting) Evergreen, high-value content (not fleeting daily posts) Leveraging your signature process or framework to stand out and attract right-fit clients Ready to build a business that actually works for you - without the hustle, or the guesswork?

The mortgage broking industry has come a long way since its early days in the 1990s, when brokers relied on paper files, hand scanners, and in-person meetings. In this latest episode of Business Accelerator, Alex Whitlock and Jason Back explore how broking has evolved and where it's headed next. Brokers once spent hours collecting physical documents and driving to client meetings. Today, digital tools enable instant approvals, e-signatures, and virtual consultations. Yet, despite these advances, the core value of brokers remains unchanged. Modern borrowers expect quick updates, personalisation, and seamless communication. Younger clients prefer texting and apps, while older generations may still value phone calls. Brokers must adapt their engagement strategies to meet these preferences.

In this latest episode of Business Accelerator, host Alex Whitlock is joined by Broker Essentials' Jason Back to delve into the current market influencers that are impacting how a broker operates. An election, high interest rates, uncertain economy, and a volatile market are all having an impact on the day-to-day for brokers. Successful brokers must learn to keep development strong despite a challenging environment. Success comes from hard work, deep client relationships, and resilience – not quick wins.

In this latest episode of Business Accelerator, host Alex Whitlock and co-host Jason Back unpack the volatile state of the economy and how it can impact how brokers operate. Geopolitics, an upcoming election, and interest rate drama have culminated in a cocktail of uncertainty, making it a stressful time for brokers. These factors have the potential to impact loan books. Brokers must prepare for some shifts in client attitudes and prepare for the risks that can emerge.

In this latest episode of Business Accelerator, host Alex Whitlock and co-host Jason Back outline the strategy needed to be an effective broker. The modern market shifts constantly and brokers must be adaptive and vigilant of these changes. Tech is having a major impact across all industries and broking is no exception. AI and automation are changing how tasks are performed and brokers must harness the potential to remain competitive. The pair also discussed excelling as a business owner. This starts with mapping out a growth plan, seeking mentorship, and prioritising foundational strengths.

Some brokers aim to build large-scale businesses, with $100 million-plus loan books, while others prefer a smaller, client-focused practice with better work/life balance. Neither of these paths is more successful than the other. It all depends on the individual's goals. This was the topic of discussion in the latest episode of Business Accelerator, where host Alex Whitlock was joined by Jason Back. The pair delved into the measurements of success. Financial, lifestyle, or entrepreneurial ambition all play a factor in determining success. What is important to one broker may not work for another. Brokers must set measured, personal goals. Whether running a solo operation, operating a brokerage, or joining a larger organisation, each has distinct advantages and disadvantages.

In this week's episode, Anna explores five key reasons why group programmes may not work for you, touching on the lack of personalisation, overwhelming information without actionable steps, insufficient accountability, limited interaction, and potential misalignment with your values. Whether you're considering joining a programme or you're designing one yourself, these insights are crucial. Stay tuned as we unpack these issues and offer solutions to choose group programmes that are more effective and aligned with your unique needs. Key takeaways: Lack of Personalisation Group programmes often fall into a "one size fits all" approach, which doesn't cater to the unique needs of individuals. Learn how to seek out programmes that offer tailored feedback. Information Overload Too much content without a clear action plan can be overwhelming. Find out why structured, bite-sized action steps are essential for effective learning. Absence of Accountability and Consistent Support Discover why ongoing support and accountability are crucial for maintaining momentum and achieving long-term success. Limited Interaction and Feedback How regular, personalised interaction can significantly improve your results and keep you motivated. Misalignment with Your Values Identify the importance of selecting programmes that align with your personal and business values for sustainable growth.

In this week's episode, we identify five common business mistakes that could be hindering the growth and enjoyment of your business. As an independent expert — whether you're a solopreneur, coach, speaker, or consultant — these insights might be just what you need to pivot from feeling stuck to building a profitable, fulfilling business that complements your lifestyle. From worrying about the 'how' before clarifying the 'what', to getting caught up in daily struggles and forgetting the long-term game, we'll explore practical strategies to overcome these hurdles. Plus, I'll share details on our upcoming webinar series and the Business Accelerator programme designed to offer you personalised support and accountability. Ready to redefine success and build a business you truly love? Let's get started! Key Takeaways: Mistake 1: Worrying About the How Before the What Focus on defining what you want your business to accomplish and why, before getting bogged down by the how. Mistake 2: Getting Caught Up in Today and Forgetting the Long Game Remember that building a sustainable business requires a long-term perspective; don't get discouraged by short-term challenges. Mistake 3: Copying Other People's Business Models Develop an intentional business model that aligns with your unique skills, values, and lifestyle. Mistake 4: Selling Yourself Short Value your expertise and don't be afraid to charge what you're worth. Mistake 5: Waiting for Perfect Clarity Before Taking Action Embrace imperfection and take action; clarity often comes through the process of doing.

https://youtu.be/FiWgX9chVDM Brandon Gano, Co-Founder of Whadif, is driven by a desire to fix problems and help business owners get control of their business and time. We learn about Brandon's journey from being a slave to his business to becoming a true business owner, which inspired him to help others do the same. He introduces his HARMONIOUS Business Architecture framework, designed to help owners focus on impactful activities. Additionally, he discusses The Less is More framework, offering a roadmap for diagnosing problems, strategic planning, and executing efficiently to avoid overwhelm and maximize results. --- Get Control of your Business and Time with Brandon Gano Good day, dear listeners, Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast. And my guest today is Brandon Gano, who is the co-founder of Whadif, a Business Accelerator that provides Fractional COO services to people who want to be in control of their business and want their time back. Welcome to the show, Brandon. Steve, thanks for having me here. Yeah, it's great to have you. And I'm very curious about your personal “Why” and what you are doing to manifest it in your business. Yeah, it's a good question. So I personally, from a young age, I've always had this desire to fix problems and then help people. So this kind of two-pronged approach, if you will. So I realized from a young age, again, I was good at the solving problems piece. And then as far as helping people, I mean, there's so many avenues you can go with that, right? So when I first started my business, this was maybe six or seven years ago at this point, I realized that I worked myself into this hole. I worked myself into a job and I was a slave to this business. When I finally got out of that and I became a business owner, not a business operator, I was like, that's it. I wanna help more people achieve this because this is true for you. Like this is what I started my business for. I'm making an impact for my customers, on my employees' lives, on my life. I have control of my time. And I said, I need to give more people the gift of business ownership. So I sold that business last year, but that's what I'm doing now. So that is how it is currently manifesting my personal “Why.” I love solving the problems, helping other people solve the problems in their business that they may not be able to see and then helping them become the business owner that they really want to be. Yeah I love that. I love that mission. I personally believe that business ownership is great, although, obviously, it's got two sides to it. It's not the most stress free existence, way of existence, and it has a lot of challenges, but ultimately, you're in control of your life and that's a great thing to have. So, tell me a little bit about this framework that you developed that's called the HARMONIOUS Business Architecture. So, the way we talked about this on the pre-call that you created this acronym for all these ideas that help people be in control of their business and their time. And then I'd like us to talk about one of the elements of this, which is The Less is More framework. So, tell me about how this HARMONIOUS Business Architecture came about and then we'll talk about Less is More. Yeah, absolutely. So much like you, you have strategy OS and you have your pinnacle framework. Fun fact, Steve was on my podcast as well. So we'll definitely make sure to put a link to that in the show notes because Steve, I loved your episode, you're a fantastic guest. And I don't disagree with your framework at all. I think it overlaps beautifully and we say a lot of the same things. And maybe we look at things a little bit differently, but in the end, it's all about, for us, getting people their time back in an organized way to look at their business so they don't stress out and start pulling their hair out over the years. So as far as HARMONIOUS, I won't go too deep into it but it's an acronym for the 10 fundamental busi...

I bet you feel like you already have enough to do. A lot of what you do (many tasks you shouldn't be doing), should be done by someone else in the business. And it will be done at least 80% as well as, if not better than, if you do it. It will also cost you less for others to do it. Here's the real secret; they love doing the stuff you hate to do. That frees you up to do the things that only you can do. But if you want your tasks to persevere, you must make your instructions clear. Today we are going to demystify delegation by discussing a lesson I got from my time with Michael Hyatt's Business Accelerator program. I'll also share the tools to support you in becoming a better leader by better delegation https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZUAWtMc9s4V4uENXxSLjpmfHDh68TgTv/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=117287118297096999307&rtpof=true&sd=true

This week I'm excited to revisit a conversation I had with Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt-Miller about their book, Mind Your Mindset: The Science That Shows Success Starts with Your Thinking. Michael is the founder and chairman of Full Focus. Through his coaching program for small business owners, BusinessAccelerator®, and the bestselling Full Focus Planner, Michael has helped hundreds of thousands of achievers reach their biggest goals. Megan Hyatt Miller is the President and Chief Executive Officer at Full Focus and alongside Michael co-hosts the popular Business Accelerator® podcast. In this conversation, we explore how the narratives we tell ourselves influence our decisions and outcomes both personally and professionally.  From personal anecdotes about overcoming disempowering stories to actionable techniques for rewriting those internal narratives, this episode is packed with insights on leveraging the neuroplasticity of the brain and the power of intuition. Plus, Michael and Megan discuss practical steps for transforming fear into confidence, backed by performance psychology and neuroscience. Discover the significance of surrounding yourself with trusted counsel, the impact of language and coaching, and the potential for reprogramming your thinking to unlock new pathways to success. Tune in for a deep dive into how shifting your mindset can pave the way for achieving your goals and enriching your life. ______________________________________ Connect with Michael and Megan: Book Podcast Full Focus ______________________________________ Connect with Erik: LinkedIn  Facebook  Instagram  ______________________________________ This Podcast is Powered By: Descript Descript 101 Castmagic Ecamm Podpage Rodecaster Pro Top Productivity Books List Make sure to support the show by checking out the sponsors!
