Agriculture is leading the way as the country's top performing industry. Xero's latest Insights report shows consistent under-performance in New Zealand's small business sector in the past year, with sales falling by 0.1% in the June quarter. Country manager Bridget Snelling told Mike Hosking sectors that are more sensitive to consumer spending and interest rates are being hit hardest. She says construction is down 6.4%, retail is holding flat, and hospitality is down 2.1%, so it's tough conditions for small businesses. However, sales in the month of June rose 4.4%, the strongest monthly increase since April 2024.

Practitioners often find rejuvenation in exploring new techniques or revisiting familiar practices in a new light. Utilizing FSM, medical practitioners have noted a renewed sense of purpose, especially when faced with chaotic and stressful situations. Clinical Observations and Case Studies Understanding Vestibular Injuries Vestibular injuries, often undiagnosed by conventional means, can profoundly impact patients' lives. A notable case highlighted the importance of a thorough history and vestibular screening for patients with anxiety and reading comprehension issues. Uncovering such connections can dramatically shift a patient's trajectory, improving their self-esteem and functional capabilities. Practical Steps: - Utilize a tuning fork for auditory assessments. - Perform comprehensive examinations to identify vestibular injuries. - Consider peripheral issues, such as reading comprehension and head trauma, that might suggest vestibular involvement. Integration into Treatment Protocols FSM's strengths lie in its adaptability across various conditions and symptoms. Common issues such as dizziness and balance problems, often resulting from exposure to substances or injuries, can be mitigated by targeting specific frequencies. Adjusting these for midbrain and cerebellum support can aid in patient recovery. Key Frequencies: - Use 40 and 44 Hz to relax neck muscles and alleviate anxiety. - Apply concussion protocols in combination with vestibular injury screens. Managing Chronic Conditions Some chronic conditions, like Raynaud's phenomenon and granulomatous diseases, may pose treatment challenges. FSM can aid by addressing both sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system imbalances, targeting arterial function, and reducing inflammation. Strategies for Practitioners: - For Raynaud's phenomenon, focus on enhancing arterial vitality while minimizing sympathetic stimulation. - Address the complexities of conditions like Wegener's granulomatosis by understanding the interplay between vascular inflammation and organ systems. Enhancing Practitioner Skills To optimize the benefits of FSM, practitioners are encouraged to deepen their understanding through continuous education. Hands-on workshops and patient practicums can significantly enhance skills, allowing medical professionals to implement advanced protocols confidently. Integrating FSM into medical practice not only expands treatment possibilities but also transforms patient outcomes. By embracing new methodologies and maintaining a patient-centric approach, practitioners can offer hope and healing where traditional methods have fallen short. Stay informed, remain curious, and continue to explore the transformative power of frequency-specific microcurrent in patient care.

Episode Description (2000 characters) This episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast marks the return of host Wize El Jefe after a brief hiatus, joined by the insightful Dr. Mark L. Teague. Titled “Traditional Values in Modern Business: Insights from Dr. Mark L. Teague,” the episode dives deep into Dr. Teague's extraordinary journey from his humble beginnings as a Texas farmhand to becoming a top finance executive, entrepreneur, and author. Dr. Teague shares vivid stories of his upbringing in rural North Texas, painting a picture of a life defined by hard work, community, and the ethos of “if you don't work, you don't eat.” These foundational experiences, rooted in agricultural life, shaped his character and instilled in him core values—honesty, respect, and hard work—that fueled his later success in the complex world of banking and finance. The conversation explores the challenges Dr. Teague faced while transitioning from the straightforward reward system of rural labor to the intricate, politically-charged environment of corporate America. He discusses the culture shock of encountering corporate trickery and the importance of maintaining personal integrity. Dr. Teague reveals how his academic background in agricultural economics equipped him with critical problem-solving and quantitative skills that allowed him to turn traditional values into practical strategies for building effective teams and business plans. Throughout the episode, faith emerges as a critical pillar in Dr. Teague's personal and professional life. He shares how grounding himself in something greater than material success helped him navigate the pressures of leadership. Real-world examples and honest reflections punctuate their discussion—highlighting perseverance, the vital role of mentorship, and the importance of learning from both success and failure. Listeners receive valuable advice from Dr. Teague on preserving work-life balance, prioritizing family, and building a meaningful legacy. He emphasizes that anyone, regardless of humble beginnings, can achieve lasting success by focusing on principle-driven problem-solving and personal accountability. He introduces his book, “A Working Man's Guide,” as a blueprint for the working class to marry timeless values with today's demands. This episode is a must-listen for leaders, aspiring professionals, and anyone struggling to find meaning and integrity in their work. With heartfelt anecdotes, practical wisdom, and a passionate call to uplift the working class, Dr. Teague reminds us that success isn't just about climbing the ladder—it's about staying true to who you are while you rise.
The Power of Storytelling in Business: Insights from Kyle Gray
What happens when getting fired becomes the best career move you'll ever make? Steve Preda, founder of SummitOS and host of the Management Blueprint podcast, shares the remarkable story of walking across the street from the bank that just terminated him, opening his own office, and systematically winning back every client his former employer had.Steve's journey from his "golden cage" of prestigious corporate roles to entrepreneurial freedom offers powerful lessons for anyone feeling trapped in traditional employment. Despite coming from a family of professionals and earning impressive credentials including the rigorous CFA designation, Steve discovered his true calling lay in building businesses and helping others do the same.The conversation explores the critical distinction between entrepreneurial functions (marketing and innovation) and execution functions (operations) that allow businesses to become truly self-managing. Rather than chasing the myth of passive income, Steve advocates for entrepreneurs to focus their energy on value creation while building systems that handle day-to-day operations. His SummitOS framework, which he describes as "EOS on steroids," provides a customizable, scalable approach that helps business owners harvest low-hanging fruit quickly while building for long-term success.We dive deep into practical strategies for attracting and retaining top talent, including Steve's three-tiered approach to compensation that evolves as employees demonstrate their value. His insights on defining culture through behaviors rather than abstract ideals and measuring outcomes through function-specific KPIs offer actionable frameworks for listeners at any stage of business growth.The interview concludes with Steve's powerful formula for entrepreneurial success: desire provides the motivation to overcome challenges, resilience enables bouncing back from inevitable setbacks, and curiosity drives continuous learning and improvement. With these qualities and the right systems in place, entrepreneurs can achieve what Steve calls the ultimate gift: owning your time.Ready to transform your business into a fast-growing, high-profit, self-managing organization?
