She opens up about overcoming £250K in debt, navigating the emotional toll of a family business, and pioneering the UK's first email retargeting tech that matches anonymous site visitors with emails. Suzanna also dives into scaling with profitability, building a resilient team, and why owning your audience is more critical than ever. Her story is packed with real challenges, bold moves, and powerful insights for any business owner chasing sustainable growth. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Suzanna Chaplin, the hardest thing in growing a small business is navigating the emotional rollercoaster—the constant ups and downs. One day everything feels great with strong sales and a happy team, and the next day, key clients might pull budgets or team members might resign. It's the ability to stay consistent, keep showing up every day, and push through the tough times that truly tests a business owner's resilience. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Suzanna Chaplin's favorite business books that have helped her the most include “Winners” by Alastair Campbell for its insight into what makes successful people tick, and “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey, which she values for its lessons on communication and understanding people's core motivations. She also mentioned “Good to Great” by Jim Collins and books by Adam Grant as powerful resources that have shaped her business thinking. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Suzanna Chaplin recommends several powerful podcasts and online resources to help grow a small business, including How I Built This by Guy Raz for inspiring founder stories, Diary of a CEO for raw and insightful conversations (especially earlier episodes), and Sweat Equity by the founders of Hype for practical branding tips. She also suggests Founders for deep dives into entrepreneurial mindsets and The Spark by Emma Grede for valuable perspectives from a female founder's lens. Suzanna emphasizes that podcasts, books, and mentorship have been key to her learning, offering real-world solutions to everyday business challenges. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Suzanna Chaplin recommends Xero as a must-have tool to grow a small business, emphasizing the importance of knowing your numbers and staying on top of cash flow. While it may seem basic, having clear visibility into your finances is crucial for making smart decisions. She also highlights the value of implementing a solid CRM system as the business scales, helping manage team workflows, forecasting, and client communication more efficiently. These tools, she says, are essential for building a strong operational foundation. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Suzanna Chaplin's advice to herself on day one of starting out in business would be: “It's going to be okay—keep going and stay consistent.” She emphasizes the importance of trusting the journey, making quicker decisions when needed (especially around hiring), and not holding onto people or situations that no longer serve the business. She'd also remind herself to stay organized, believe in her instincts, and understand that the hard days will pass—and every small step forward adds up to big progress.

Are You Standing on Your Leadership Head? Picture this: You're wondering why your leadership feels like swimming upstream while wearing concrete boots. The answer might be simpler (and more embarrassing) than you think. You've taken three of the most powerful leadership principles and turned them completely backwards. The Leadership Reality Check Drawing from Stephen Covey's timeless Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, this episode exposes how emerging leaders – especially those caught in middle management limbo – are unknowingly sabotaging their own success. We're talking about smart, capable people who are doing everything "right" but getting everything wrong. The Three Habits That Make or Break Leaders 1. Be Proactive (Not Predictive) Stop trying to guess what your boss wants and start owning your responses Self-awareness beats people-pleasing every single time The game-changing difference between responding and reacting 2. Begin with the End in Mind (Not Written in Stone) Your vision is a compass, not commandments carved in granite Why followers need to see your destination, not just your daily detours The trust-killing mistake leaders make when changing course 3. Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood (Not to Be Right) The family dinner table debate trap that destroys workplace relationships Why "tell me more" are the three most powerful words in leadership How buying permission to be heard transforms adversaries into collaborators The Bottom Line Leadership isn't about having all the answers – it's about asking better questions, owning your choices, and creating space for others to contribute their genius. When you flip these three habits right-side up, you stop swimming upstream and start riding the current toward leadership success. Tune In For: The "compass not commandments" approach to vision setting A simple phrase that opens communication floodgates Why self-awareness is the ultimate leadership superpower Real talk about middle management frustrations (looking at you, retail warriors) The trust equation that determines whether followers stick or split Ready to stop doing leadership upside down? Your team (and your sanity) will thank you.

Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Kerry Boulton, the hardest thing in growing a small business is managing cash flow. Growth eats up cash faster than most owners expect, and many don't realize how easily they can run into a squeeze. She says you've got to keep a constant eye on cash, plan ahead, and understand that scaling up often means funding gaps you need to prepare for. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Kerry shares that her favorite business book is “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey, which she says gave her a rock-solid foundation for both business and life. She also loves “The Great Game of Business” by Jack Stack for teaching how to build financial literacy and an ownership mindset in your team. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? For podcasts and learning resources, Kerry highly recommends “Built to Sell Radio” by John Warrillow, which dives into making your business more valuable and sellable. She also likes “Business Lunch” with Roland Frasier & Ryan Deiss, plus the Exit Planning Institute's podcast. And of course, she's a fan of Troy's Grow Small Business Podcast, which she appeared on. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? When it comes to tools, Kerry swears by the Value Builder System, which helps owners see their business through a buyer's eyes, score it across key value drivers, and figure out exactly where to improve to maximize value and exit readiness. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? If she could give herself advice on day one of starting out in business, Kerry laughs and says she'd simply tell herself to “buckle up,” because it's going to be a hell of a ride—full of challenges, personal growth, and ultimately the chance to create freedom and live life on her own terms.

Happy Independence Day! In this inspiring episode, Lindsey connects the spirit of American independence to your personal freedom from disordered eating. Drawing from Stephen Covey's "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People," she breaks down the four human endowments that give us ultimate freedom: self-awareness, conscience, independent will, and creative imagination. If you're tired of living for everyone else's approval and ready to declare independence from your eating disorder, this episode will show you exactly how to break free using the power you already have within you. What You'll Learn The 4 human endowments that create ultimate freedom (from Stephen Covey) How your eating disorder hijacks your internal guidance system Why you get stuck in the "capacity to act" phase of recovery How to reconnect with your creative imagination and dreams The power of asking "What's the best that could happen?" How to put on your "full armor" against disordered eating The 4 Keys to Ultimate Human Freedom 1. Self-Awareness Allows you to think about your thoughts Key to taking responsibility for where you are and where you want to go Action Step: Write your Best Self Statement (Episode 51 reference) 2. Conscience Your internal guidance system for right and wrong Connects actions to your highest values (your "True North Compass") Gets jaded when eating disorder is in the driver's seat 3. Independent Will Your capacity to act and break patterns Where many people get stuck in recovery The part of you that's "starving for independence" 4. Creative Imagination Gives you purpose and dreams beyond current reality Hard to access when living "chained in the disorder" When attached to willpower, makes you unstoppable Key Questions to Ask Yourself "What's the best that could happen if..." I surrender control? I sit with my dreams and imagine life without unhealthy behaviors? I stop counting calories or weighing myself? I become the natural version of me I'm supposed to be? Powerful Episode Quotes "Independence is freedom from the need of everyone else's approval." "You have the key. No one else. Freedom isn't really free - it's won by you, but you don't have to go at it alone." "When your willpower is attached to your creative imagination, nothing can stop you." "Fears keep us stuck. The fear of weight gain is real... but it kept me stuck for so long. These are the handcuffs around you, and you have the key." Biblical Foundation - Ephesians 6:10-18 Lindsey references putting on the "full armor of God" to stand against the eating disorder, including: Belt of truth Breastplate of righteousness Shield of faith Helmet of salvation Sword of the Spirit Resources Mentioned Best Self Statement: Pinned in Her Best Self Society Facebook community Episode 51: "Why Some Find Freedom from Disordered Eating and Others Don't" Stephen Covey: "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" Private Facebook Community: www.herbestselfesociety.com  Ready for Recovery Coaching?

#576 Taylor Isselhard is a full-time wedding photographer and the host of the Wedding Lens Lounge podcast. As a professional who successfully transitioned from part-time to full-time photography, Taylor offers an in-depth perspective on the critical steps required for building a sustainable photography business.A significant theme in his career is the disciplined approach to business growth. Relying on his background in business, Taylor underscores the importance of thorough preparation before leaving stable employment. This includes maintaining a clear understanding of financial needs, forecasting bookings, setting aside an emergency fund, and only making the leap once the business demonstrates consistent demand and stability.KEY TOPICS COVEREDTransitioning to Full-Time Photography - Taylor describes how he built up his business gradually, shooting weddings part-time for six years and only going full-time once he reached a threshold of consistent bookings and had established key systems and savings.The Power of Client Experience and Networking - Taylor attributes much of his rapid growth to the positive client experience he provided and the word-of-mouth referrals it generated. He emphasizes the importance of networking with vendors, tagging them on social media, and intentionally nurturing relationships in the wedding industry to gain referrals and increase visibility.Systems, Workflow, and Work-Life Balance - Taylor discusses the practical systems he implemented for client management (like HoneyBook CRM), planning his work week, and balancing business with family life. He outlines his method for blocking off time, using spreadsheets for goal setting, and the importance of beginning with the end in mind—setting long-term goals and breaking them down into actionable steps.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSCRM (Customer Relationship Management): A software tool (like HoneyBook) used to manage client interactions, contracts, invoices, and communications in an organized, professional manner—critical for scaling and streamlining a photography business.Begin with the End in Mind: A strategic planning principle (from “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”) involving setting clear, long-term business goals and then mapping out the milestones and actions needed to achieve them.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSWhat fears or obstacles do you face in considering a transition to full-time photography, and how could Taylor's experience inform your approach?How can building client relationships and networking with vendors be integrated into your workflow?What current systems (or lack thereof) are holding you back from scaling your business and achieving balance?RESOURCES:Visit Taylor Isselhard's Website - https://tpiphotography.com/Follow Taylor Isselhard on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tpi_photography/Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

Send us a textEpisode Notes: The difference between a good collision repair shop and a truly exceptional one often boils down to one critical factor: how people feel when they interact with your business. Join us this week as Sheryl Driggers, former MSO owner and now lead CSR trainer for Mike Anderson's elite Spartan Groups, reveals the science and strategy behind creating meaningful connections that transform both customer experience and employee satisfaction.Here are three effective actions collision shop leaders can take from Sheryl's insights:Cultivate a Positive Environment: Focus on creating a positive workplace atmosphere. Encourage a culture where positivity is the norm, as it enhances decision-making, creativity, and productivity. This can be achieved by recognizing and celebrating small wins, offering support, and fostering open communication among team members.Enhance Emotional Connections: Train your staff to prioritize emotional intelligence in customer interactions. Encourage them to go beyond standard service protocols by making customers feel valued and understood. Simple gestures like personalized follow-ups or remembering customer preferences can create memorable experiences that enhance customer loyalty.Implement the "One Degree" Concept: Encourage your team to consistently perform small, thoughtful actions that exceed customer expectations. This could include personalized thank-you notes, unexpected discounts, or simply going the extra mile in service delivery. These minor enhancements can significantly impact customer satisfaction and lead to increased referrals and repeat business.Taking these actions, rooted in positive human interactions, can transform both your customer service and employee engagement, driving long-term success for your business! GUEST CONTACTSheryl Driggers - sheryl@collisionadvice.comCollisionAdvice – www.collisionadvice.comShawn Achor Ted Talk: https://youtu.be/GXy__kBVq1M?si=robDiWbKpUVOTuaAThe Seven Habits of Highly Effective People: https://wSupport the showJoin our Mind Wrench mailing list!

It's preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have -- you. It's renewing the four dimensions of your nature -- physical, spiritual, mental, and social/emotional.Philosopher Herb Shepherd describes the healthy balanced life around four values: perspective (spiritual), autonomy (mental), connectedness (social), and tone (physical). George Sheehan, the running guru, describes four roles: being a good animal (physical), a good craftsman (mental), a good friend (social), and a saint (spiritual). Sound motivation and organization theory embrace these four dimensions or motivations -- the economic (physical); how people are treated (social); how people are developed and used (mental); and the service, the job, the contribution the organization gives (spiritual)."Sharpen the Saw" basically means expressing all four motivations. It means exercising all four dimensions of our nature, regularly and consistently, in wise and balanced ways.Sheila & I tapped into being Intuitive, Analytical, and EmpathicThere is so much power in the small, everyday habits that curate your future.We constantly get stuck, and when we do, what happens?

Dr. Noah St. John is a success coach, author of over 25 books, and creator of the Power Habits® and Afformations® systems. Known as the “Father of Afformations,” he has helped entrepreneurs, real estate professionals, and CEOs break income ceilings and reclaim their time. Through his inner and outer game framework, Noah empowers people to double or triple their results in 12 weeks or less—without sacrificing their well-being.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Noah teaches that success requires mastering both the inner game (beliefs, mindset) and the outer game (strategies, systems). His Power Habits® system helps clients remove “head trash” and achieve hockey-stick growth—600% or more in some cases. Afformations® are empowering questions that replace traditional affirmations and rewire the brain for success. Inner beliefs impact every area of life—health, wealth, relationships—and must be addressed to sustain growth. Entrepreneurs often struggle not from lack of effort but from mental blocks they don't know they have.     Topics The Inner and Outer Game of Success Inner game: beliefs, mindset, subconscious patterns—what drives behavior behind the scenes. Outer game: visible strategies like marketing, systems, sales funnels. Success comes when both are aligned—most people over-focus on one and neglect the other. Power Habits® Framework Developed after decades of studying what top performers do unconsciously. Based on 11 core habits—most people start with Afformations® as a powerful foundation. Noah's clients often break through income ceilings and reclaim 1–3 hours per day within weeks. Afformations® vs. Affirmations Traditional affirmations (e.g., “I am rich”) often feel fake and are rejected by the subconscious. Afformations® flip statements into questions (e.g., “Why am I so rich?”) to trigger the brain to find validating evidence. This method helps focus on what you have, not what you lack—shifting identity and reinforcing belief. How Trauma and Limiting Beliefs Block Growth Noah's system identifies “head trash”—the mental blocks that cause self-sabotage. Most people drive through life with one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake. Removing internal resistance allows rapid external growth. Real-World Results Client Charles gained $1.8M in 10 months after adopting Noah's system. Another client scaled from six figures to multi-billion-dollar hotel deals. Outcomes are repeatable across industries by aligning mindset and actions.

Today's conversation is with guests Ladd and Zoey Wahlen, the husband-and-wife duo behind Roots Chips! This is the first time we've had a couple on the podcast together, and their story is such a great example of passion, perseverance, and purpose. From growing potatoes on their farm in Idaho to launching a regenerative, farmer-owned chip brand, Ladd and Zoey are doing business differently. In this episode, we talk about how they took a big idea (that started as a dream!) and turned it into a thriving consumer product, all while raising four kids, running a farm, and making regenerative agriculture a core part of their mission. We also dive into the behind-the-scenes of building a brand from scratch, navigating the challenges of distribution, hiring a strong team, and the reality of balancing (or not balancing) two full-time businesses.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/08/how-not-to-build-a-successful-online-business/ Quotes to ponder: "Trying to start a business for the primary purpose of making money is like trying to build a house starting with the roof." "If you're going to build a successful online business, you're going to have to give people a good reason to keep coming back."
