In this insightful and highly practical conversation, Jeannette Linfoot welcomes back Chris Wilkins, an esteemed accountant and tax expert from Wilkins Southworth. Chris delves into his fascinating journey into the world of tax, from childhood inspiration to navigating complex international finance deals. The episode explores the significant "brain drain" of high-net-worth individuals from the UK due to recent tax policy changes, discussing the economic repercussions and the critical need for up-to-date tax advice. Chris provides invaluable guidance for various financial situations: from tax-efficient strategies for startup entrepreneurs (including VAT and partnership structures) to optimizing tax for multiple business owners. He unpacks the evolving landscape of property investing in the UK, detailing the impact of Section 24 and changes affecting furnished holiday lets. A crucial segment addresses the tax implications for unmarried couples versus married couples, particularly concerning capital gains and inheritance tax, and the often-overlooked necessity of updating wills upon marriage. Finally, Chris offers vital advice for those nearing retirement, highlighting recent pension and business inheritance tax changes that could dramatically affect legacy planning. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand and optimize their financial position in a constantly shifting tax environment. Top Takeaways Accountancy is a dynamic field, not just "men in grey suits." Staying current with tax legislation is crucial for effective advice. The UK is experiencing a "brain drain" of high-net-worth individuals. Changes to domicile rules are driving an exodus of taxpayers. Losing high earners impacts social services and the average person. The Laffer Curve illustrates optimal tax rates for revenue. Startup entrepreneurs can use VAT thresholds for competitive pricing. Partnerships can optimize income tax by splitting profits. Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) offer protection and tax benefits. Tax planning must align with legal entity structure. HMRC scrutinizes property incorporation schemes. Section 24 (Tenant Tax) significantly impacts buy-to-let landlords. Furnished Holiday Lettings tax rules have become less generous. Unmarried couples face distinct capital gains and inheritance tax challenges. Marriage invalidates previous wills in the UK. Pension inheritance tax rules have changed, impacting legacy planning. Proactive tax planning is essential to avoid detrimental surprises. "To know and not to do is to not know." "People who fail to plan, plan to fail." Sound Bites "Life started from a tax point of view when my mum... went to see her accountant." "The image of accountancy is that it's like men in grey suits and... it's quite boring but it's not at all." "You gotta keep on reading about tax and learning about it." "There seems to be a bit of an exodus from the UK right now." "If the 1% the top 1% go, who's gonna pay the tax?" "You just gotta kind of block out the noise and just keep your eyes focused on whatever it is that you want." "I'm going in there to collect as much as I possibly can." "It's a very YouTube idea, I love it." "Recovery is very important in our sport." "Come as you are, leave as more." "Your struggles are not your limitations." "Bravery is speaking truth to power." "Don't just climb the ladder, create an elevator." "Embracing failure is a powerful gift." "Your will wouldn't have said I leave X to my spouse, 'cause you weren't married before. But now you are." "To know and not to do is to not know." "People who fail to plan, plan to fail."

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Jeannette Linfoot, a distinguished corporate CEO turned entrepreneur, board advisor, mentor, & investor, renowned for her ability to guide business leaders, C-suite executives, & entrepreneurs through complex business challenges & towards scalable growth, whose career is marked by her 'Brave, Bold, Brilliant' ethos, which she has successfully translated into a top-tier podcast that reaches audiences in over 120 countries. On this episode she shares insights from her extensive career, her transition to a portfolio career, & her passion for personal development & growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS In my mid- to late-40s, I took stock of where I was, I loved my corporate career, but I wanted to have more freedom, choice & flexibility in my life. Now, having a portfolio career gives me more choice around being able to travel more & ultimately, I call the shots. When scaling up, what got you to where you're at now won't necessarily get you where you want to get to in the next phase. Having a clear, differentiated position in the market is really important when you scaling, otherwise you're just competing on price against your competitors. Be clear on your proposition to the customer & know where you want to take the business. There are only 24 hours in a day & you're only one person, your success in whatever field you're in will often be dictated by the talent around you. As you scale you may find there are certain functions that you didn't need before that you do now, or a combined role may now be at a scale where it needs to be separated & more resources need to be brought into the business. In any business it's great to have a mix of talent, experience, some of which is age related: the older you are the more experience you're going to have. But, the younger generation will have fresh thoughts & more energy. Everyone contributes to a team. With Gen Z, it's important to understand their motivations in terms of flexibility, they tend to be more values- and purpose-led & they're choosing who they want to work with on how they align with their morals & values BEST MOMENTS ‘There's never an easy time to scale a business, there will always be something that will challenge you, so really get clear on why you're scaling up, start with the end in mind & work backwards.' ‘If your systems, processes, the boring stuff is not solid you won't be able to scale, it will fall over at some point. Map them out now & understand which areas you need to strengthen.' ‘Don't feel you have to scale up, it might not be right for you, you've got to want to do it yourself because it's a hard thing to do. Prepare before you start on the journey of growth.' ‘The formula for success is: belief + purpose + action = results.' ABOUT THE GUEST Jeannette Linfoot is a distinguished corporate CEO turned entrepreneur, board advisor, mentor, & investor, renowned for her ability to guide business leaders, C-suite executives, & entrepreneurs through complex business challenges & towards scalable growth. Transitioning from a full-time corporate CEO to a portfolio entrepreneur, Jeannette now manages three businesses: a property investment business, an advisory business for corporate clients & business owners, & a one-to-one mentoring business.

"Money can help other people, whether you want to set up a charity or donate. So I think there's a naivety around money, which I think is not healthy." "I think people sometimes don't admit that they want money. Everyone wants money. Who doesn't want money? I'm sorry, I think that's absolute, they're kind of lying to themselves really." "I'm a huge advocate for collaboration and networks and connecting the dots between people. What connections can they bring to you? Any connection, any human interaction, whether it's virtual or in person, it's got to be a good thing."   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette is interviewed by Lucy Ingram of the Riding High Movement, and shares her journey from starting out as a government economist to becoming her own boss. Jeannette discusses the challenges she faced in transitioning to entrepreneurship, including the shock of having to manage everything on her own and the need for structure and discipline. The interview is a set of inspiring lessons and practical advice for anyone looking to make a bold career change and pursue their entrepreneurial dreams. KEY TAKEAWAYS Having a clear purpose and knowing why you do what you do is crucial for staying motivated and focused. It helps you navigate challenges and make decisions aligned with your values and goals. Surrounding yourself with talented individuals who share your vision and values is key to success. Great teams are essential for achieving your goals and driving your business forward. Always prioritise the needs and satisfaction of your customers. Stay connected to them, understand their wants and needs, and make decisions that align with providing the best possible experience for them. Challenges and failures are opportunities for growth and learning. Embrace them as part of the journey and use them to improve and evolve. Don't be afraid to take risks and learn from your mistakes. BEST MOMENTS "You're only ever as good as the people around you. Smart leaders recognise they don't have to know everything, but they have to bring amazing people on the journey with them." "The irony is that the freedom and choice you seek as an entrepreneur can be overwhelming. Going from having all the resources to just you, your phone, and your laptop can be scary." "If it's not in my diary, it's just not going to happen. I have to be super disciplined with my time and schedule to manage three businesses and a podcast." "We made a big decision to relocate and invest in property, but it didn't go as planned. Instead of sitting and moaning, we up-sticked again and moved to a new location." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Lucy's experiences during her military career have enabled her to cultivate the techniques of building a bulletproof mindset including the power of resilience and personal growth; this has been pivotal in growing multiple businesses and a seven-figure portfolio.

Jeannette discusses the importance of having a mentor to scale up one's career, business, and life. Drawing from personal experience as both a mentee and a mentor, she shares ten invaluable tips on finding the perfect mentor, including committing to the mentorship journey, identifying the desired experience and values in a mentor, conducting thorough due diligence, arranging face-to-face meetings, and speaking directly to the mentor's previous mentees. KEY TAKEAWAYS Before seeking a mentor, make sure you are fully committed and ready to invest the necessary time, finances, and emotional energy into the mentorship. When looking for a mentor, consider their experience in your specific industry or sector, as well as their values, behaviours, and style to ensure a good fit. Conduct thorough due diligence on potential mentors, including checking their social media presence, conducting online searches, and speaking to their current or past mentees. Once you have identified potential mentors, arrange face-to-face meetings to get to know them better and ask about the results they have achieved for their mentees. Additionally, speak directly to their mentees to gain insights into their mentoring style and effectiveness. BEST MOMENTS "I'm a massive believer in mentors, in coaches. I have had mentors and coaches throughout my entire career, always at pivotal moments where I have either had a promotion, I've been setting up a business or I have been, you know, kind of shifting from one world to the next." "I'm a big believer in you have to have direct experience before you can talk on any topic." "The trust in the relationship between a mentor and a mentee is paramount." "We only have one life, make it count."   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette shares her biggest inspiration and her own formula for success with the amazing Iain Drudy on his show, Fearless Inspiration. Jeannette talks about the importance of running a business with a heart, prioritising people and customers over profits, and her journey from a corporate career in the travel industry to becoming an entrepreneur, as well as her passion for empowering women in the boardroom. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's crucial to put customers and people first in business, rather than solely focusing on financial gains. By prioritising customer satisfaction and creating a value-driven business, financial success will naturally follow. All forms of diversity, including gender, LGBTQ, and social diversity, are important. Creating an inclusive environment not only benefits society but also leads to better financial results and customer experiences. It's important to take responsibility, learn from failures, and maintain a positive mindset to move forward and achieve success. Leaders have a responsibility to inspire their teams, customers, and stakeholders. Leading by example, being authentic, and treating everyone with respect are key aspects of inspiring leadership. There are 3 S's we can use to break through barriers and turn inspiration into action. State refers to mindset and energy levels, story involves the beliefs and narratives we tell ourselves, and strategy focuses on taking action and implementing plans. By addressing these three aspects, individuals can overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. BEST MOMENTS "If you put your customer and your people first, and you do the right thing with a great idea that's unique and different, then the money will follow." "Everyone has skills and contributions that they can make, but you have to really create an environment where proactively you're encouraging those opportunities for all." "Don't lose hope when bad things happen, but own it, take responsibility, don't blame others." "Change your state, change your energy, go to the gym, get a positive endorphin rush, and then the world seems more open to possibilities." "Fundamentally, every person has good in them. I like to think most people are good."   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Are you looking to get the top job? To become the CEO, an MD? If the answer is yes, then Jeannette's here to explain to you exactly where the best businesses are finding their CEOs and leaders. Armed with this invaluable information, you'll find it much easier to step up when it counts and grab that job of your dreams. KEY TAKEAWAYS During COVID, there was a huge shift in terms of CEO turnover – leaving organisations and joining new ones. The number departing for new jobs fell by 10% in 2020, to just 8.9% in 2021. More women were appointed as CEOs in 2023, but women are still massively under-represented in terms of the global numbers. 87% of new CEOs were men. It's not always ideal to move externally in order to get your dream role. If you wish to ascend internally, then start engaging with key decision makers and stakeholders – let them know how valuable you are. BEST MOMENTS ‘If you're ambitious and you really want to step up, then what do you need to be aware of?' ‘That turnover figure actually went back up in 2022' ‘You're going to need to dig in, raise your profile, get networking like mad and really engage' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

This week, Jeannette is in the hot seat as she appears on the Real Life Game Changers to discuss her own business journey, how she applies the experience and passion she's built to the world of business, and how she is personally inspiring a generation of entrepreneurs to take their own careers to the next level. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is important to have clarity on what you are trying to achieve in your career or business. Set clear goals and have a plan in place to move forward. Surround yourself with the right people and build a strong team. No one can be good at everything, so it is important to have experts in different areas to fill the gaps in your knowledge or experience. Structure and discipline are key to success. Have a clear plan and set goals, but also be flexible and adaptable to changing circumstances. Training and personal development are essential for growth and success. Continuously educate yourself and stay curious. Invest in your own development and seek out opportunities to learn and improve. BEST MOMENTS "If you don't know, just brainstorm all the things that you want in life. Get it out of your head, get it down on paper, and then from there, you will start to form a bit of a plan." "You can educate yourself, you can surround yourself with really smart people, and don't be afraid of doing that." "You've got to be able to treat people as individuals and offer options to people in a way that's still going to get the results." "It's not just about money. There's other ways to recognize people and reward performance." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette discusses the "fertile void", a concept that describes how, if we find ourselves in a creative void for a time, then it can spark unprecedented levels of creativity and productivity. KEY TAKEAWAYS We're currently going through much in the way of change and unpredictability. We're in a void situation, as the norm has essentially disappeared, which can feel uncomfortable. If you are able to stay in a position of being "comfortably uncomfortable" with not knowing what the next step might be, then you can spark creativity. When we hit downtime, rather than panic and try to fill that space with other things, pause - just give yourself some time. BEST MOMENTS 'You need to be able to rest in order for your mind to come up with creativeness' 'Things can come to you that would not have appeared to you before' 'Try and stay in that place where it is uncertain and it is uncomfortable' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Oliver Winter is the CEO and co-founder of a&o hostels, having founded the company 20 years ago with Michael Kluge. Since then it has gone on to become one of the most successful hostel chains in the world, with annual turnover in the nine-figure range. Oliver joins Jeannette to talk about how he founded a global brand, and the differing skill sets he has acquired along the way, including becoming a prolific property investor. KEY TAKEAWAYS Hostels provide a sense of community, where people can come together in ways not possible in the hotel world. Almost half of the business relies on groups for bookings, and hostels prove extraordinarily popular with the likes of students, who seek low-cost accommodation that allows them to remain together as a group. Maintaining hostels requires not just a sense of business, but investment. Oliver has, along the way, become a property investor, and is now responsible for many units. If you have a good business idea, then be brave enough to put it out there into the world, and be disruptive enough to see it through. Stick to your idea and stick to your way of doing things. BEST MOMENTS 'You have to understand your target group' 'I always was focussed on operations, but to control a property has some charm' 'Our early lives influence our lives as adults' 'Be brave, be disruptive' 'The priority was to bring. commercial culture to the people who raise the money' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Winter intended to begin his career in teaching, but while on a study break travelling the world in the mid-1990s, he was inspired to come up with a new hostel concept. Oliver wanted to give people, especially students or young people, the opportunity to stay in professionally managed, affordable and centrally located accommodation, with no youth hostel card fee. After several initial attempts at getting the company off the ground, Winter was approached by his experienced, entrepreneurial landlord, who deemed the idea a ‘winning' concept. The two of them collaborated, and together in 2000 they opened their first a&o hostel, a 164-room property in Berlin.

Jeannette talks to world-renowned business leader and travel industry specialist, David Robinson, about his fascinating career - one that has taken him to the heights of the corporate world as well as the upper echelons of the charity sector – how the lessons of business can amplify the charity business as a whole, and why values matter so much when it comes to establishing business brands and creating powerful messaging.

Have you got the guts to fail? Are you failing big, or not at all? In this episode, Jeannette talks about why failure can be the most liberating, and most exciting thing that you could possibly do. KEY TAKEAWAYS The way we think of failure is always in negative terms, and it's about time that we reframed things, so that we see failure as a way to learn. Every single person has greatness within them, but it's not always easy to unlock. It's the fear of failing that stops us from even trying. Become very clear on what it is that you want. If your reason for trying is compelling enough, then you'll find strength in this. BEST MOMENTS 'If you're not failing, then you are in your comfort zone. You're not even trying' 'If you're not failing, then you're not learning, and that means you're not growing' 'You're going to get knocked back in life and business.

His expertise centres on utilising transformative technologies such as AI, VR/AR, blockchain, quantum computing, and robotics to reimagine business landscapes.

The shift to greener ways of working was always based upon cost savings, but now the initiatives seem to centre around a far more responsible outlook for the world. Tech means that outdated fossil fuels can be replaced with much more efficient new forms of fuelling that burn hotter, and allow older, more destructive means, such as coal, to be retired forever. Not only can the new technologies provide new sources of food and energy, but also income streams for marginalised communities who have seen their prosperity levels drop in recent generations.

Jeannette explains why, if you wish to get life-changing results, you may need to consider changing your identity, and what that process entails. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are multiple differing ways to achieve success in life, but we tend to focus on the wrong things.

When change is required, people focus on outcomes or strategy. The best way is to change your identity first. BEST MOMENTS 'You've got to change who you see yourself as in order to achieve lasting change' 'Each and every one of you has greatness within' 'The stories that we tell ourselves really creates a lasting impact' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Robert Cook is best known as a top hotelier, hospitality expert & CEO of some of the most respected brands in the world and more recently of TGI Friday's restaurant chain. No one is more well-versed in what it takes to be the man at the helm of some of the biggest and most powerful businesses out there, and in this incredible episode, he discusses his astounding career, as well as the recent battles that have shown him what it truly means to be bold and brave. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being bold and brave doesn't just extend to business. As a cancer-fighter, Robert knows that being bold and brave reaches far outside of just work, and into every corner of life. Life isn't always plain sailing. Challenges come at the most unexpected of times, and it's up to us to face them down and come out stronger. A positive mindset is so important.

Jeannette talks you through the all-important "breakthrough" moment - the moment in time when everything changes, and when you push through barriers towards the heights of success. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are times when it can feel as though you're being held back from achieving that elusive goal. The breakthrough moment is when that barrier finally crumbles and you move on to where you need to be. The three areas you need to focus on in order to create a breakthrough are: State, Story and Strategy. You can control your state by looking towards exercise, sleep and a healthy diet. Changes such as these all contribute towards enhancing the state you're in. Your story matters when it comes to success. If you don't believe in the story you've made for yourself, how will others believe it? BEST MOMENTS 'It's when the impossible, all of a sudden, becomes possible' 'Breakthroughs don't just happen. You have to make sure you're in the best place possible' 'Creating a breakthrough can create a huge difference to every aspect of your life' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Jeannette is joined by Julie-Ann Haines, the CEO of Principality Building Society, for a discussion about how she achieved the success she's found, why it's okay to let go of things sometimes in order to bloom in your career, and how to best empower your teams to do their very best. KEY TAKEAWAYS Career paths don't always move in a straight line. It's fine to test things out and find out about yourself along the way. You have to let go to grow sometimes. Holding on to the same things can stunt your development, so know when to hand things off and look for a new challenge. If you're empowering a team, then go all in on it. Teams can't gain a sense of trust unless they're allowed to shine in their own way. Stakeholders are always in search of confidence. It's up to us as leaders to best define what that looks like and deliver wherever possible. BEST MOMENTS 'I'm a proponent of squiggly careers' 'You have to let go to grow' 'That's where the trust with your team is so important' 'What all stakeholders need is confidence' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Scott joins Jeannette to talk about his life and business journey, how he stays humble despite his lofty position in the business world, and why your network is your real superpower. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you're supported by humble, down to earth people, it keeps you grounded, no matter how high you may be in the business world. It's essential to keep it real. You have to be prepared to work as hard as possible when you're starting out. First impressions last, and it's never more true than in the business world.

Speaking directly from a diving trip in Australia, Jeannette talks about the value we gain when we step outside of our comfort zone, and dive into uncharted waters in search of new ways to grow. KEY TAKEAWAYS Life is all about taking chances. The worst possible outcome would be to reach the end of life and feel a sense of regret about the things we could have done, but didn't. Before you're able to dive, qualification is essential, and it's the same in life. if some new endeavour requires training, then learn the ropes. Diving is usually done int he company of a master or mentor. If you want to achieve the best results in life, then find yourself a mentor - one who has walked the path before you, and who can show you the most effective ways to succeed.

Jeannette talks to Louise O'Shea, the Chair of InsurTech UK's Advisory Panel and the former CEO of Confused.com. Under Louise's stewardship, Confused's revenue doubled and profits tripled, results that Louise puts down to her impactful, disruptive style of leadership. In this episode, Louise talks about her success, the value of diversity and inclusion, and why we should never be afraid to think outside of the box when it comes to our business journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you love what you do, then even if you aren't the most successful, it still means that you'll enjoy the journey. We have "sliding door" moments in life that can send us off into all new directions, but these areas are where the real opportunity resides. Be brave enough to consider these pivot points. You have to have a purpose greater than yourself, and be part of a team that motivates you, in order to ensure that we gain true job satisfaction. Just because one chapter closes doesn't mean that more exciting chapters aren't ahead of you. See a closing door as the opportunity for an opening one. BEST MOMENTS 'I've always been driven by "love what you do"' 'You've got to understand where you've come from if you want to know where you are' 'If you're clear on what your purpose and where you're heading, it's a lot easier to get there' 'There are opportunities everywhere' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette is joined by entrepreneur, kick ass woman, and host and creator of Confidence Mastery - Natalie Bailey - one of the brightest business minds in the world! Natalie talks to Jeannette about where she found the inspiration to begin her empowering journey into business, one that involved a complete re-evaluation of what life means, and how she fought her way to the heights of success. KEY TAKEAWAYS You never move in life, or grow as a person, unless you stray outside of your comfort zone from time to time. That's where real growth lies. Making a legacy is one thing, but we create real change and impact when we give back to those who are less fortunate. Being an entrepreneur can be a lonesome path to take, and so we should look for ways to involve others whenever possible. Mastering confidence is all about learning to say no when someone tries to keep your natural self suppressed. It is the art of recognising what makes you unique. BEST MOMENTS 'The lightbulb for me went on' 'The entrepreneurial road can be very lonely' 'In school they teach you to be silent and not heard. All of that disruptive behaviour are what makes us unique' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Having over 10 years experience in running businesses, including Bars, Gyms and eCommerce she now has a property development business with her business partner and Mum, Paula. She helps others be more confident and successful in health, wealth & happiness so they can live the life they dream of. On a mission to help combat loneliness with the Better Together message, she helps busy, lost and stuck entrepreneurs to truly connect with themselves with the Confident Entrepreneurs Club, her Mastermind groups and Retreats. Living between Mallorca and London, she embodies everything she teaches. With a background in Personal Training, health and fitness is high on the agenda, with wealth creation and happiness going hand in hand to create a confident and successful life. As a successful entrepreneur, podcast host and mentor she has learnt a lot over the past decade. She pulled herself back from nearly losing it all. She was the life and soul of the party scene in Magaluf, where she'd escaped to from an unfilled life and job in London, in a bid to build a new life. Getting caught up with the wrong crowd ; partying every night to mask the loneliness, low self-esteem and depression she had. When a lot of her friends got arrested she realised that she needed to change otherwise she'd end up in prison, or even worse, dead. Throwing herself into understanding behaviour and what was triggering this wild lifestyle that she had changed her life, the people in it and fast-forward to today and she is a property developer working with her Mum, Paula on £MM projects, and a confidence coach, working with entrepreneurs and business owners to better prepare them for the highs and lows of running a business. The host of 2.5% globally ranked podcast “Confidence Mastery” she also hosts a Mastermind and Retreats, helping other entrepreneurs to come to together and be successful in their health, wealth and happiness which brings her great joy seeing others succeed. A far cry from the life she used to live. https://linktr.ee/nataliearabellabailey ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

As a successful podcaster, Jeannette talks about the power of podcasting, what it can do for your business in terms of spreading your message, and how to start and scale a show of you own. KEY TAKEAWAYS There's something intensely personal about hearing the voice of someone you follow. It's a direct connection between you and the listener. Understand why you want to make a podcast in the first place. If you are clear on your "why" and it aligns with your values, you will be much more successful. Pick a subject that you are passionate about. If you aren't in love with your subject matter then you will fall out of love with the process. Consistency is key, Make sure you treat it seriously and commit to it as though it was a job. You don't want to come out quickly at the beginning and then find you can't keep up with the pace. BEST MOMENTS 'I had no idea where it was going to lead' 'I love my podcast - I'm passionate about it' 'When you connect with someone through a podcast, you become a part of their life and routine' 'It'a very personal and special relationship between you and your listener' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette talks to renowned theatre director, Luke Kernaghan, on the ways in which he has harnessed the power of his creativity to unlock success, the value of connections and how networking has accelerated his journey of growth, and why following your passions is the key to lifelong happiness when it comes to your career choice. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is no substitute for authenticity, and you cannot truly be yourself until you've asked the internal questions required. Sometimes the forces that drive us are difficult to identify, and manifest themselves through instinct. We should always listen to our inner voice. If we are able to identify our passions, and forge a career in that sector, then working becomes a privilege, and fulfilment is far easier to achieve. Theatre in particular, thrives upon community. Those who are in the field, raise each other up and encourage support from all sides. BEST MOMENTS 'Your energy is incredible. You clearly love what you do' 'My journey was not linear' 'You don't go into theatre to make money!' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Rob Stewart is the leader of Swansea Council, and has spent the last two decades forging a highly successful career in politics and business. In this episode, Rob joins Jeannette to talk about what it means to represent people in the political arena, why mindset matters so much when it comes to leadership, and the practical business lessons both learned and implemented that have turned him into a leader to be admired. KEY TAKEAWAYS The ones who get things done and place themselves as effective leaders, are those who always have a "can do" attitude. If you're negative about your prospects, you're doomed to fail. The pervasive image in the business world is that politicians do not understand their concerns. Coming from a business background himself has given Rob a real advantage. Planning requires something of a reform. Swansea is spearheading this shift in order to allow more businesses to put their mark on the city. Never discount the value that private enterprise can bring to an environment. Most companies are eager to improve their surroundings, which returns vitality for everyone. BEST MOMENTS 'We've taken the hard yards. Now we need to do it at scale' 'I've tried to bring a can-do attitude' 'This isn't something you do lightly' 'Difficulty comes from inconsistency in thinking' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette talks to Steve Bolton, the founder and managing partner of Bolt Angels, an investment fund making waves in the industry. He is also a successful serial entrepreneur, professional mentor, and advisory board leader with over two decades' experience. Steve joins Jeannette to talk about business, investing, how to make the most effective impact in life and your career, the magic word that changed his life, and how he turned his entrepreneurial journey around from the heights of success to failure and all the way back up again. KEY TAKEAWAYS Sometimes it takes a fall to make us work for the rise. Just because you're down doesn't mean that you're out for good. There is no substitute for the empowerment of a good mentor. If someone has walked the path before you, then it can help you to visualise your own route to success. Having the gift of the money mindset can't be discounted. True entrepreneurs who understand the magic of making money are almost set for life as they will constantly see the ways to monetise. Striking the right life balance is key to making sure your purpose keeps you driven. If you immerse yourself too much in one side, you'll forget the value of the other. BEST MOMENTS 'I discovered a lifelong passion for coaching and mentoring' 'I was in an the deep end' 'I had an entrepreneurial seizure in my mid-twenties' 'He said the magic word that changed my life' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS The purpose of Communique is to help businesses to begin on their sustainability journey.

Jeannette shares some practical guidance on what to do if your business is struggling, and how you can reignite the spark of growth and development when things begin to plateau. KEY TAKEAWAYS The touch macro-economic situation in the UK right now is making it difficult for a lot of businesses out there. Forecasts say we will have negative growth this year.

Your team must be fully focussed and aligned with the situation you are in, so that they can gather around you and come together to provide the win. A team wins together or not at all.

Saja joins Jeannette to talk about the existential moment that changed his life and set him on the course that has taken him to the heights of success, and the incredible ways in which he turned his life from one of doubt and fear, to one of joy and happiness. KEY TAKEAWAYS Through peeling back the layers of conditioning from the mind, our natural state of happiness is the ever-present background, our natural condition. It is accessible anywhere. To seek fulfilment through our work or service, no matter what it is, requires the need or suffering of others. When we pass through pain, we take a number of lessons that we can use for other people - to inspire them to feel as though their struggles are hopeful ones. The journey of life constantly evolves. As long as we are having an experience, there is evolution to be found. BEST MOMENTS 'These were the two things that changed my life' 'There was no sense of failure in what I did' 'If we depend on our purpose for happiness, we have then depend on the needs or suffering of others' 'There is no such thing as a perfect human being' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette discusses the concept of rocks, pebbles and sand when it comes to a full life, and explains why it's always wise to get the fundamentals in place first before we fill our lives with the smaller elements, and better manage our time. KEY TAKEAWAYS The rocks stand for the important things in life. The pebbles are still important, but are more malleable. The sand represents all the other "stuff" - the noise and chaos. If your jar is full of sand - the minutiae and rubbish - then you won't be able to fit any rocks. The sand should always fit around the rocks, not the other way around. BEST MOMENTS 'We need to make sure that we spend our time on the right things' 'Make sure the rocks go into your jar first, the pebbles in afterwards, and the sand last' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Richie Jones is the MD and Founder of vvast, which specialises in encouraging two way conversations between businesses and their customer through eCommerce, branding and industry-leading marketing. Richie joins Jeannette to discuss his fascinating business journey, the path he's taken combining innovative technology and a glaring gap in the agency market, and how he ensures that his passions always combine with his profession to ensure happy, long term business impact.

The key to igniting long term engagement and loyalty, is to create tribes of clients who align perfectly with who you are and what you do.

If you understand your "why", and if you are a purpose-led brand where people follow you religiously, you have to rely less on manipulations such as discounts and sales. BEST MOMENTS 'It's been a varied journey with lots of learnings, for sure' 'We're a genuine extension of how the brand operates' 'Digital has a reputation for being a black art' 'They to being brave, bold and brilliant, is being centred in that moment' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette talks about quitting - whether it's always such a bad thing, and when there may be times or cases when it's more appropriate to quit and move on than to remain KEY TAKEAWAYS Quitting is often framed as something negative. It carries connotations of losing or failing at something, but there are also times when it makes positive sense to move on. Many of us are striving for something - some purpose. We can hit roadblocks and challenges that hold us up on this journey. If you are being blocked by a certain challenge, and it's derailing your path to success, then it's okay to reframe things. See the setback as a block between you and your purpose. Never be afraid to take a different route towards your ultimate goal. You only have one life, so live it with your purpose in mind at all times. BEST MOMENTS 'It's never always black and white' 'When do you actually need to pivot and change?' 'Your situation is unique to you. Your goals are unique to you' 'Make sure your dreams are bigger than your memories'   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

In this episode, Jessie talks about her amazing journey in business, how she reached the heights of success despite debilitating medical setbacks, and the ways in which she's now giving back to the world through "feelgood" investing - giving back to communities through philanthropic investing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Property investing allows us to break free of the corporate and social expectations when it comes to a career. it allows us to build the life our dreams independently and achieve true freedom.

Jeannette explains the concept of the Golden Circle Of Balance - a vital tool for any business that ensures you'll work at your best, break through barriers, and achieve life-changing results. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Golden Circle Of Balance begins with knowing your "why", because if you're not clear on your purpose then how can you hope to get there? Every single person has greatness within themselves. The key to unleashing that greatness is to find someone to unlock it by being brave, bold and brilliant. Around the why are three elements: clarity, discipline and consistency (CDC). Everyone is here for a reason no matter who they are. Clarity of thought on this is key. BEST MOMENTS 'If you want the best results for your business, this will be really helpful' 'It's a daily reminder why you exist' 'We are all here for a purpose'   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Fiona Jeffery has had a long and accomplished career working in the travel industry, responsible for World Travel Market (WTM) from 1986-2013 both as Managing Director and ultimately as Chairman. Fiona joins Jeannette to discuss her incredible business journey, the most invaluable lessons learned along her rise to the top of her business sector, how it feels to have been awarded an OBE by Queen Elizabeth, and her impactful charity work in bringing safe water to communities across Asia, Africa and Latin America. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you set your goals towards helping other people, it requires a certain strength. Sometimes you're called upon to look at the tougher side of life. When you work in a small team, it can be very rewarding. However, to truly make an impact, you need to think bigger. Ideas are not always a hit from the off. Sometimes you need vision and patience in order to make them work. Every decision we make needs to be taken with the future in mind. Consider the legacy that you're leaving behind and ask if the future would be proud of you. BEST MOMENTS 'That background really shaped my life' 'I grew as the industry grew' 'How do we really make a positive contribution'   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Jeannette explains the ways in which you can deliver long term growth and the strategies you've decided on as a business, at the same time as delivering the short term wins in your business and life without becoming overwhelmed. KEY TAKEAWAYS Life isn't just about delivering on business aims - it's also about delivering on our personal concerns and striking a healthy balance between business and the fulfilment of our personal lives. If all you do is focus upon today, then you will only ever deliver short term results. If you focus on the future and growth, you will potentially never get there because you're ignoring the short term. Consider what is important and unimportant, as well as what is urgent and what is non-urgent. By adhering to this practice and prioritising tasks, we can ensure that we're always moving forward. BEST MOMENTS 'Make sure you don't lose sight of the long term' 'The reality is that you have to do both' 'You need to learn to flip in and out, depending on where we are'   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

This week, it's Jeannette's turn to take the spotlight, as she appeared recently on the Mission Maker's Podcast, where she discussed her personal business story as well as such empowering topics as building a business, the importance of diversity and inclusion, and how to ensure cohesion in the workplace between mentors, coaches, managers and the people who keep our organisations flowing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Having a purpose is the most important component in business, especially at the outset. it provides a beacon by which all decisions are made. Even if we do not achieve the things we hope to, the very process of taking action can teach us valuable lessons about business and ourselves. The teams you build, and the people you take along with you on your journey, are ultimately what will allow you, and them, to be successful. If you are a leader, always strive for authenticity. Accept that you cannot possibly know everything, and use it as a strength. bring talent in and do not shy away from who you are. People buy into leaders that display vulnerability. BEST MOMENTS 'You have to be really clear on what your reason why is' 'I'm fundamentally a good person who's trying to do the best for others' 'If you don't try, you'll never know' 'If you want to go fast, go alone. if you want to go far, go together'   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

To mark International Women's Day 2023, Jeannette is here with a vital reminder to remember that, no matter what field we work in, we should always strive towards building diverse teams, and why doing so is so critical to success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being more diverse is not about being better or worse. It's about recognising differences, celebrating differences, and noting the wonderful similarities we all share. Research has proven that diverse teams and boards perform better than non-diverse. The more you diversify, the more you represent your multi-varied customer base. Once you identify where your organisation is, you can better recognise where you wish to be in the future. In order to make significant progress, diversity should always be at the top of the business agenda. If you don't have this buy-in from the top, it's very difficult to drive change. BEST MOMENTS 'It's about diversity in all its wonderful shapes and forms' 'What can we do to make sure we have a far more inclusive and diverse leadership?' 'Diverse teams in general achieve better results' 'Tap into the pool of talent from all diverse backgrounds'   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Nick Balzan is the Chief Commercial Officer of Mangias Resorts and Clubs, and one of the most experienced business creatives in the world of travel and hospitality. Nick joins Jeannette to talk about his inspiring business journey, the most insightful lessons he's learned during his swift ascent to success, the best ways to embrace the varied cultures and wonders of the world around you, and why you should always listen to your heart when it comes to chasing your dreams. KEY TAKEAWAYS We have to push ourselves to leave our comfort zones if we want to find true growth. Sometimes that means leaving the places we know and feel comfortable in, but the growth you experience by being more adventurous is invaluable. When you find yourself in a new place and in the middle of a new culture, it's always best to embrace it as fully as possible. Be humble and be yourself, listen, learn and adapt. To break away from one's past in pursuit of your dreams can be a tough call, but we need to remember that the life we're given is ours to live. Never be afraid to follow the voice of your heart when it tells you to hit the road in pursuit of your dreams. Making changes in business should always be a team effort. You have to lead from the top, but never discount the voices of your team, and keep them involved whenever you can. BEST MOMENTS 'I decided that I needed to make a change in my life' 'Be humble. Listen, learn and adapt' 'It was something I felt I had to do. It's something that he would be proud of' 'Surround yourself with the right people and learn from them as much as possible'   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Having a high-performing team environment is critical, particularly if your team is working remotely. Make sure you all share a common purpose, and that your goals are in the same direction. Make sure everyone knows what the mission is for the organisation. Every single person needs to have a clear set of roles and responsibilities. Everyone needs to know what they are doing and how they are doing it. BEST MOMENTS ‘It's always about the quality of the team' ‘You've got to get the right people on the bus in the first place, then make sure they're sitting in the right seats and facing in the right direction' ‘Think about where you are on that pyramid' ‘The easiest person to lie to is yourself'   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Emmie talks to Jeannette about her incredible story in business, how to make the most out of a business partnership, and how embracing and igniting the spirit of entrepreneurship in her own life has led her to the pinnacle of success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Business partnerships work best wen your skill sets compliment each other. Your strengths can make up for weaknesses in another and vice versa. If you want to get going in business then don't overthink things. Just get going! Stop putting off what you do straight away. Have a plan in place, but don't hesitate when you're ready to start. Confidence is one of the most useful tools for an entrepreneur. It allows a sense of visualisation and resilience that can help you to overcome challenges that would defeat others. Never be afraid to laud your achievements and proclaim your successes. You earned them, and you worked hard to do so. BEST MOMENTS ‘I always had an eye on the money and what was going on there' ‘Be clear about what each of you brings to the party' ‘Why don't you tell everyone about all the amazing things that you've done?' ‘I now know that I'm amazing at what I do'   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Following on from how to build, Jeannette talks about exercising your strategic muscle - how to put your strategies into place, why we need a broad perspective, and how to deliver on the strategies that will lead to your mission's end. KEY TAKEAWAYS When we are busy and occupied, we focus upon the short term thinking, and fail to think longer term. But it's worth taking time to reflect on the future while also making the most of the present. Consider your "what". This is your mission. Your vision is the roadmap that will take you to that mission's end. A strategy is your "how" - how you get from your starting point to the mission's conclusion. Look at the bird's eye view and break it down into smaller, more actionable elements. BEST MOMENTS 'You do need to have that longer-term view - where you're heading' 'Think of your "what" and your "why". These are the starting points for any good strategy' 'Within that overall strategic plan there are subsections' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette explains why building your strategic muscle is vital, why looking forward is as important as the day-to-day running of a business, and the things you must do early on in order to get those plans up and running at the right time. KEY TAKEAWAYS  When you are a leader, it's important to be able to think strategically as well as operationally. Delivering day-to-day is crucial, but we must also look forward. We should remember that our businesses do not operate in a bubble. They are connected to an external world of business and influence, which affect the initiatives we want to achieve. Take a look at your macroeconomic environment. Look at what is going on in the external world - interest rates, inflation, unemployment, customer bases and market trends. SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. It's great to be able to brainstorm each of these factors as they play a part in your strategy going forward. BEST MOMENTS 'In order to be able to grow and scale up, it's really important to think strategically' 'Thinking strategically is really around the big picture' 'We have to set the context for our strategic planning' 'Before you get into the detail, let's talk about what the context is that you need to pay attention to' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Sasha Covington is the COO for the valuation advisory team and Head of Diversity & Inclusion for JLL's UK Valuation Advisory team, a position she's achieved after over three decades in the property industry. Sasha is a real example of how hard work and dedication can result in life-changing career paths, and in this episode Sasha talks about her upbringing and what drove her all the way to the heights of success. KEY TAKEAWAYS The formal education system is something we all have to go through, but the more entrepreneurial minded are not ever put off by grades or assessments. You don't have to have straight As to make it in life. The power of association is far more effective than we may realise. By associating with those we aspire to, it helps us to solidify ambition. The gender roles in the workplace are improving, but there is still an inherent bias against the skills and talents of women. When it comes to diversity, the question should always be who is the best person who can carry out the task required. We should look past cultural heritage and recognise those who can make our businesses better. BEST MOMENTS 'There was a real lack of diversity in terms of gender' 'I've always stayed authentic to me' 'I did fit in, it's just that I was in a really weird environment' 'I make sure the right people are in the right seat with the right tools' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about the concept of the business chameleon - someone who moves from one situation to another, and how to effectively recognise the similarities between where we are now and where we want to be. KEY TAKEAWAYS When we're currently in a position that we don't favour, it's important to think about where we want to be next. But often, we focus on new scenarios and see them as something separate. You can't navigate the future by looking at the past. However, we can take the lessons from before and use them to guide our way. Identify all the transferrable skills, contacts, lessons that you can take from one world to another. There will be far more than you may initially think. BEST MOMENTS 'Where you are isn't really where you want to be, going forward' 'You can't drive a car by looking through the rear view mirror' 'We're being a chameleon. We're changing, but we're also protecting and retaining all the great stuff' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette meets Founder and CEO of Artist Collective, Evan Price, who has been working in and around the music industry since the age of fourteen, in artist management, digital marketing and coaching. Evan talks about the ways in which he helps and nurtures artists and musicians, and how to bridge the gap between creativity and business. KEY TAKEAWAYS The best thing about any sector, creative or not, is that there is always an opportunity to add the business element to the creative element. With the rise of technology and innovation, there is always the opportunity for growth and development. It takes a entrepreneurial perspective and a little bravery. Learning business sense isn't something you can impart within a day or two. It takes mentorship and guidance - the following of someone else's example. Focus upon one or two big things that really accelerate your path, and once you have, you can then break those things down into smaller, incremental steps. BEST MOMENTS 'I slowly realised that this was the path for me - the business side of things' 'The challenge is to find a way to make the money' 'You've almost got polar extremes - creativity and business' 'Entrepreneurs are also creative problem solvers in business' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

At the age of fourteen, he started a booking agency that promoted more than +100 shows, igniting his passion for the business. He then became involved in artist management with several Chicago acts, licensing, booking, digital marketing, and coaching. As a graduate of Columbia College, he used his Bachelor's Degree in Arts & Entertainment Media Management in Music Business to build his own vision. His mission is to transform artists into what he calls “artistpreneurs” and finally get them out of the 9-5s they hate and back to the music. By using the “M.C.S. Method” or ‘monetizable creative skillset' Evan and his team can help creatives build a profitable business around the one thing they are the most passionate about. Who says your hobby can't be your business? Drawing inspiration from the likes of Steve Jobs, Gary Vaynerchuck, and Donald Miller, he discovered the key to a successful brand: an outrageously compelling story. This drove Evan to teach musicians the art of clever storytelling to unlock their success through authentic vulnerability. He has built a very engaged social media following reminding creatives to be self aware, empathetic to their audience, and unwavering in their pursuit of building their music business. His company Artist Collective was given the nod by Billboard magazine as one of the best resources for musicians during the COVID-19 Pandemic and he's been featured on such programs as The Jam Tv show, Chance the Rapper's SocialWorks, KissFM, Medium, and more. Musicians and creatives interested in services can apply for the Artistpreneur Accelerator - a program designed to build, launch, and scale your creative business in 90 days!

What are you doing to make sure that your business and teams are as diverse as possible? In this episode, Jeannette tells you why diversity and inclusion are so important, and how you can begin the process of opening the doors to inclusion in your own business. KEY TAKEAWAYS  It's always worth asking, at each point in your business dealings, if the teams we assemble and nurture are as diverse as they can be. Creating initiatives within our businesses in order to ensure that we get the best person for the job, allows the creation of a pipeline of talent. It is constantly proven and upheld, that diverse teams, boards and businesses actually achieve better financial results. They also represent your customer base. BEST MOMENTS 'You should have the best person for the job, but the reality is that sometimes we limit our potential' 'It's important because it's the right thing to do' 'You probably have a very diverse set of customers. Your teams should reflect that' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette is joined by Resh Sonchhatla, whose remarkable business career began in accountancy and management, as well as the founding of The Chapati Club. Resh joins Jeannette to talk about her illustrious career so far, as well as what has driven her to not just thrive in the business world, but stake her unique claim in a sector built on her personal passions. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Building a career for yourself on the things you're passionate about, always ensures that the fire in your belly stays hot enough to push you through the challenges you face. Working int he corporate sector can be rewarding, but it can also take its toll on mental health. Always make sure you put yourself and your wellbeing first. Expectations of others can often derail the true passions that light us up. Remember that your life is your own, and your path will be completely dissimilar to anyone else's - and that's okay! In business, you always need to be looking towards the next step. If you aren't scaling, then you're in trouble. Growth is everything. BEST MOMENTS 'The food thing was really nibbling at me' 'I really wanted to understand the variations of how Indian food is made' 'You have to stop thinking about the things that are absorbing you so much' 'If you aren't scaling then you're in trouble' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

The business recently expanded into south London, with the launch of a delivery service based inBermondsey.A couple for eleven years, neither Resh nor Heena had experience of running a restaurant when they took the lease on the site at 117 The Vale, in Acton, London W3. Resh had been working in the banking sector for seven years, which she found unfulfilling, while Heena was enjoying a successful career as an experience designer. Planning to start a family, they also wanted to bring more balance to their working lives. Both women shared a lifelong passion for food, instilled in them from childhood by their large families, and having grown up in nearby Hounslow, Heena was a fan of the diverse, creative Acton area. The embryonic idea of opening a “non-traditional” restaurant serving “the food we grew up on” quickly became a reality when an ideal site became available; they put an offer in, which was accepted, and opened chapati club on 7th April 2017.For the menu, Resh and Heena looked to favourite recipes from their shared Indian-Kenyan heritage, including many handed down by their families. ‘Chicken G Dad's Way', for example, is Heena's dad's recipe, a dish so popular within her family that any time it's made it leads to a large impromptu gathering. The ‘61' in ‘Chicken 61' meanwhile refers to Resh's aunt's house number, where she would go if she wanted to eat chicken, which her vegetarian mother wouldn't cook.Heena created chapati club's modern, pared-back branding and visual identity, and oversees the creative side of the business, while Resh is responsible for the day-to-day running of the restaurant and is a familiar presence at almost every service. Both of their personalities are present in the music, another shared passion, putting together their own playlists which contribute to the restaurant's lively, celebratory atmosphere.As gay women of colour, Resh and Heena were initially wary of being an ‘out and proud' LGBTQ+ business, but quickly found that this was a strength, with peers, suppliers and most importantly, customers, all embracing them. In its four years in business, chapati club has attracted a loyal, diverse clientele of regular ‘clubbers' who value the inclusivity of the restaurant, whether they are dining with family, friends or indeed alone.Resh and Heena strive to repay their community's support by giving back to it where they can. Throughout lockdown, chapati club provided free meals for NHS frontline staff, and they have hosted fundraising and community events, including music and comedy nights, at the restaurant. They champion other local businesses, serving wines chosen for the restaurant by Vindinista, Acton's boutique wine shop, and gelato from Duci in Chiswick.While the business has grown with the expansion into south London, chapati club remains a very personal project for Resh and Heena. They are committed to offering an honest, consistent experience to all their customers, whether they are eating in the restaurant or at home. “Somehow,” they say, “we have attracted the most wonderful humans in west London, and we feel very lucky for that.”Resh and Heena live in Windsor with their two children, a girl and a boy.

She shares details of how you can make sure that you become an effective networker. Including how to get the most out of conferences and other events. All of the 10 tips she shares are easy to implement, yet extremely effective. KEY TAKEAWAYS Whether you realise it or not, you are already networking all the time.

Business cards are still handy, but you should also have a QR code people can use to pick up your contact details using their phone. If you say you are going to do something for someone or follow up with them, make sure you do so, BEST MOMENTS ‘We are all networking all of the time, whether you realise it or not. ´ ‘Be very intentional, what is it you're trying to get out of the conference? Or the event that you're attending.' ‘Often the most effective business is done in a social environment,' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Bernard Ward is the Group Managing Director of Acorn Recruitment, one of the top 1% of recruitment agencies in the UK, and who passionately believe that "there's more to recruitment than just filling vacancies". Bernard talks to Jeannette about the importance of placing people at the centre of the equation when it comes to recruitment, the value of legacy when it comes to building relationships that last, and the best ways of attracting the best talent to your business. KEY TAKEAWAYS When we leave a company, it's important to leave on good terms. We never know what might happen in the future, or how poor decision making will impact a future aim or goal. The sectors we're drawn to often evolve and change. The key is to always keep up with what's important, enhance your knowledge where possible, and apply yourself to becoming the best in your field. There has always been a huge demand for the best people, but with the advent of the high cost of living, demand has certainly increased for higher salaries, regardless of the sector. Your onboarding process is absolutely key. You must ensure that your training and development at the outset supplies people with the skills they need to do the job. BEST MOMENTS 'Your legacy is what people judge you on' 'It's come along a hell of a road over the last 25 years' 'There are always economies of scale' 'There's always been a war on talent' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette shares ten incredible, empowering tips to make sure your year starts with a bang, and keeps you accelerated throughout so that you can defeat challenge, push through obstacles and hit your goals. KEY TAKEAWAYS  You need to gain crystal clear clarity about what your goals are and cut the waffle that will bring on resistance. Remove distractions and write down what it is you want to achieve. Now is the best time to declutter and remove the flotsam and jetsam that you just don't need any more. A clear space leads to a clear mind. Don't let other people weigh you down or hold you back. If people are baggage then think about freeing yourself. People who hold you back are preventing you from achieving more. Random acts of kindness are the key to creating a better world around you. Lead with value and leave the world a nicer place. The results will come back to you tenfold BEST MOMENTS 'Having a new year is like having a blank sheet of paper' 'If you don't know what you want, how will you get there?' 'Make space for the new growth to come' 'If you can lead with value, that will come back to you tenfold' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

I've always been very good at sleeping on aeroplanes.' -  Jeannette ‘You have to make decisions with imperfect information at times. You have to try to get to a place where you're comfortable with that.' – Jeannette  ‘When things come up, you're not sure, you're scared to make a move, you're worried about judgement, failure or whatever. I always ask myself ‘what's the worst that can happen?' and then when you've got that in your head, you can go ‘even that I can deal with.' – Jeannette ‘I would like my podcast Brave, Bold, Brilliant to become almost like a global movement where it resonates with people no matter what stage they're at in their lives.' – Jeannette      VALUABLE RESOURCES Join Patreon : http://www.patreon.com/drireneching Instagram: irene.ching.777 Tiktok: @ireneching777 Youtube channel: Dr Irene Ching Twitter: @ireneching7777 Clubhouse: @ireneching1 https://www.facebook.com/irene.ching.735 LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/irene-ching-742623219 ABOUT THE HOST Dr Irene Ching is a medical practitioner who specialises in Family Medicine, Wealth and Life Coach, Property/ Business Investor, Speaker, Quantum Wealth Creation Accelerator and Podcaster : Be Happy, Healthy and Wealthy.

James Mitchell is one of the most respected property developers in the country, with a huge portfolio and an assured track record of success. In this episode, James talks about his inspiring story and how he achieved the heights of success through hard work, dedication, and being bold and brilliant when it counted the most! KEY TAKEAWAYS Sometimes our business journey seems haphazard, but when we find our place in the world, we suddenly realise that every moment has provided its own lesson. Never be afraid of relying on your own skills and talents. You can get far further by believing in yourself, even if the challenges sting at the time. Advice and guidance are just that. Never let the words of others totally dissuade you from your path - simply take the advice as a different perspective. Everyone has their own front, their own surface, that they are happy to put on display. Never assume that the picture tells the whole story, and most importantly, never base your idea of success on what others have. Your version of success is entirely exclusive to you. BEST MOMENTS 'I have a lot more value. I don't need to work with others to feel my own worth' 'There is never just one route to success' 'We have to be clear on what's important to each of us' 'The world of social media presents a version of the world that isn't always necessarily reflected in reality'  This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

The new year is the perfect time of year to reflect upon what has gone before. In this episode, Jeannette talks about the lessons she has learned from the year gone by, the goals we should try to focus on in 2023, and how we can use the events of 2022 in order to ensure our success in the year ahead. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Sometimes we can be so busy chasing the next thing and moving forward, that we miss the chance to reflect upon what we've gained and lost, and take the teachings from both. We could never have anticipated that the economy would be as unstable and damaged as it was. There was initial growth, but some decisions have left us even worse off. If you're relying on a single source of income, then it might be time to think about diversifying now in order to fortify your financial prospects in 2023. It doesn't matter how tough things get, there will always be the chance to find opportunities. Even when markets are bad, it means good things for someone. BEST MOMENTS 'This is the perfect time to reflect' 'Risk can leave you in a vulnerable position' 'My aim is to help as many people as possible to be the best versions of themselves' 'Opportunities are everywhere' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

In this episode, Mark talks about the mission behind his incredible business ventures, the value of practice when it comes to being the best, and his fascinating vision for the ultimate environment - one that will bring out the best in people worldwide. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you practice at something, and devote yourself to being better at it, you gain a sense of autonomy that gives you muscle memory for that task. Practice makes perfect, but it also makes permanent. Background is never a limiting factor when it comes to success. If you have the right mindset and are willing to work hard, you can take your self to any point in business and life, no matter where you come from. When we are allowed to relax sufficiently, we enable ourselves to work far more efficiently. Creating an environment where we can rest, work and play, is the best way to get the most from people. The value of knowledge is exponentially increased when it is shared. Those who have knowledge empower others by sharing and encouraging others to do the same. BEST MOMENTS 'Practice makes permanent' 'If you push yourself out of your comfort zone, you really can achieve anything' 'I want every being on the planet to be free - financially, physically, and emotionally' 'Selling is serving!' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Jeannette talks about focus, and how by nurturing and developing this crucial business sense, we can achieve so much more than we believed possible. KEY TAKEAWAYS Take concentrated action and develop clarity of thinking in order to maximise the things you're capable of. A good acronym for FOCUS is Follow One Course Until Success. We need to focus more, but it's easier said than done, but if achieved, we will reach success. Get clear on what it is that you want. Without working out this fundamental aim, you can't hope to set your focus correctly. When you're in the moment and things are moving around you, the best way to set focus is to remove all unnecessary distractions. BEST MOMENTS 'It's about focussing in order to get results' 'If you don't know what you want, how will you be able to focus on it?' '70-20-10 allows you to focus proportionally, and explore other opportunities' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Rick Jones is a hospitality and leisure sector leader as well as corporate finance partner, who specialises in working with business owners and management teams on acquisitions, disposals and raising finance. Rick joins Jeannette to discuss his fascinating route through business life, and for a wide-ranging discussion on all things finance, acquisitions and business! KEY TAKEAWAYS Mergers and acquisitions make up the art of advising people on how to best buy and sell businesses, ensuring win-win situations for all involved. It's always best to consider your objectives when coming to the sale of your business. Make sure you know what the aim of the sale is, as it'll help to guide you to the best result. People can successfully sell business without an advisor, but these people are in the minority. It's a very emotional and complicated process and having an expert at your side can be crucial. Even if the economy and the market is tough, there are still hopeful things in the acquisition world. No matter what the landscape looks like, there are always opportunities and deals to be had. You just need to look harder at times. BEST MOMENTS 'I help people navigate the process and find the best way to help them fulfil their ambitions' 'It's good that today there are more routes into professional services' 'What success looks like is something that people should really spend some time with' 'There's no such thing as an A to Z on how to sell your business' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

How do you sell your business and maximise its value? This issue can seem daunting and confusing to many, and so seeking the best advice possible is essential. In this episode, Jeannette takes you through some tips, tricks and things to bear in mind, so that you can make the most from your merger, acquisition or sale. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Get really clear on what it is you want from your sale. Look at your desired result and how it will affect your life. If you do wish to sell, take your time to get to that conclusion for the right reasons. Rushing into it will put all the power into the buyer's hands. Showcase your business when you put it on the market. Explain why it has a healthy future, and make sure potential buyers can see that systems and processes are in place in order to keep the running smooth during and after the handover. Think about the people you're leaving in the business, and consider whether or not an NDA might be useful, along with some form of remuneration. BEST MOMENTS 'You might want to use the capital in order to start another business' 'If you can do that at the start, it'll really help you' 'What you don't want to do is rush at this' 'Show what the potential value of the business can be' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Welcome to Episode #376: with Jeannette Linfoot, a self-motivated, commercially astute, CEO with a proven track record in property investment, strategic planning, mergers & acquisitions and operational delivery in a global environment.   During this episode, Overcoming Challenges & Embracing Opportunities, we talk about what it means to be a leader specially in global scenarios like this COVID-19 pandemic and how technology changes the business gameplay today. Here's some highlights: - Technology is good. You don't want to miss on innovation but it's important to prioritise and focus if this piece of tech is right for your business and your target customer. - You have to really know your customers. If you make assumptions about your clients/customers that are not current, you end up going to the wrong track. - Innovation is key in business too. Sometimes, you have to shake things up and bring your customers to a new level of products and services.     Learn more about the contents discussed in this episode: Connect with Jeannette via Instagram, LinkedIn and her website.

Welcome to the trailer for Episode #376: Overcoming Challenges & Embracing Opportunity, Jeannette Linfoot, a self-motivated, commercially astute, CEO with a proven track record in property investment, strategic planning, mergers & acquisitions and operational delivery in a global environment.   In this Wednesday's episode, Jeannette and I will be talking about what it means to be a leader specially in global scenarios like this COVID-19 pandemic and how technology changes the business gameplay today. Here's some highlights: As a leader, you have to have resilience and a sense of calm. You can't bring panic to the whole team.  Indecisions kill a business. As a leader, you have to have a clear action plan and make a decision. Protocols on different market scenarios should be in place. Do a dry run, test the process, document the procedure and continually improve the protocols.   Join us on Wednesday for the full episode.

Nick is with Jeannette Linfoot host of the ‘Brave, Bold, Brilliant' podcast talking about the experiences that have helped him to develop skills that are now invaluable in his life.

It's all about having to adapt to the environment you are in Spending time with older people is a very valuable experience for any young person Developing the communication skills to be able to effectively work with a huge range of people is invaluable.

This time he discovered a winning formula and before long had a multi-six-figure company. He then made a huge mistake which nearly put him out of business and cost him £50,000 in personal cash! Fortunately, Nick kept it afloat, turned it around, and sold that business 2 years later in a seven-figure deal.  He then co-founded a multi-million-pound marketing company, which he exited in 2015, and created Expert Empires. Today, Expert Empires is known as the UK's number one business event for Experts, with world-renowned celebrity speakers like Gary Vaynerchuk, Grant Cardone, Chalene Johnson, David Goggins, and Lewis Howes gracing the stage. Nick also specialises in helping Coaches, Consultants, Speakers, Trainers, and Authors take their businesses from zero to six figures and beyond through his Expert Empires Mastermind programme.                                     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Toni is interviewed by senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor Jeannette Lintfoot for her podcast Brave, Bold, Brilliant.   They discuss how Toni and her husband juggled having two little boys to look after and two full-time jobs with starting a property business. As well as how they borrowed from other people to get started rather than following the traditional financing route. Toni is passionate about helping others through being an educator and public speaker. She explains how she overcame fear and risk to transition from her day job in HR to fulfilling her dream to help others by teaching them to become property developers.   KEY TAKEAWAYS It is possible to build a huge property empire even if you do not have much money of your own, at the beginning. Being curious and becoming a lifelong learner is highly beneficial regardless of your chosen career. Fear is a good thing because it makes you stop and think, but you must not let it overwhelm and paralyze you. You need to fully understand the risk, then do what you can to mitigate them. When you have bad experiences, learn from them, and use them to spur you on. Sacrifices are an investment. It´s short term pain for long-term gain. Be true to yourself, do things your way, don´t worry about being judged by others. You need to be sure that you are striving to achieve the right goals. It's all too easy to put a lot of time and energy into something that does not bring you happiness. Approach things in a way that is congruent with your values. You gain more by helping others. Seek out and take advantage of win-win situations.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I´m a massive believer in helping other people to understand and realize their potential.’ ´Many people have this massive desire to achieve things, but fear holds them back.’ ‘I see sacrifices as an investment.’ ´People are going to judge you anyway, so let them judge you for being who you are.’     VALUABLE RESOURCES  ttps://www.jeannettelinfootassociates.com/ Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Unlimited Success Progressive Property   ABOUT THE HOST  Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

Alex is with Jeannette Linfoot, Property Entrepreneur, Business Mentor and host of the Brave, Bold, Beautiful podcast.

Jeannette is a champion for diversity and believes everyone can achieve and unlock their potential if they have the right mindset and explains what you need to do to grow your self-belief and realise your dreams in this absorbing episode.   KEY TAKEAWAYS There are interesting aspects of being in both the entrepreneurial space and corporate space. As an entrepreneur, you have more control and can choose what you want to do. If you are thinking about making a transition then look at the skills and experience you already have If you have a passion then following it can be the way to success. As an entrepreneur, you have more flexibility but your business can be your life and passion so it's important to try and have a balance between work and life. Sometimes you can have people in your life who are blockers so it's important to limit the amount of time you spend with these people to ensure they don't hold you back. Self-belief is vital and you need to understand yourself and know what you need to work on. Support, encouragement and accountability are the best ways to develop a better mindset. I'm a great believer in diversity and that everyone has the potential to be whatever they want to be. I believe in myself, treat others as I want to be treated and always champion diversity. Everyone can be brave and bold and brilliant.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Mindset is everything' ‘You need to be able to select your thoughts in the same way you select your clothes for the day' ‘How we treat people in tough times is what is remembered and makes the difference'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Business, Wealth and Mindset podcast series Jeanette Linfoot LinkedIn Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast   ABOUT THE GUEST Jeannette Linfoot Jeannette is an experienced and very highly regarded senior executive, property investor and board advisor with over 25 years' global professional experience across travel, leisure, hospitality and property sectors.

If you've ever wondered ‘just how successful can I really be in property' then listen in to today's episode, as Kevin is joined by Jeanette Linfoot, who attended a progressive property event and is also a member of the VIP programme and has managed to create a successful and lucrative property business. Together they discuss the benefits of mentorship, researching your local area and sourcing the right members of your property team and how your business skills from previous jobs can be transferred to make your property business a success. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you are going to invest in property and create a property business/portfolio make sure you focus on it and don't just dabble. To enable to create a large property business it is beneficial to have ongoing support by signing up for a VIP package with progressive which allows you to have ongoing mentorship and support.   The support from Progressive can offer you so much such as the technical aspects of buying and refurbishing the property and approaching it in the right way, in particular on optimizing your cash position and how you can be clever with recycling your cash and refinancing. The VIP programme also offers a certain level of accountability and knowing that if you've invested in your education/mentorship programme, you want to ensure you are getting your value for money and continuing to progress.   It is important to research the area you wish to start buying properties in by learning the demographics and the property statistics of your chosen area. Once you have done this you need to identify key people you will need in your teams as well as identifying and highlighting your key strengths and skills that can be added to your property business team, you may need to source a great lettings agent, broker and tax accountant.   For anybody that is wondering what will be right for their own journey, it is recommended to spend a bit of time in terms of what are you trying to get out of it? This may be cash flow to allow them to quit their jobs, others may want the equity growth or perhaps a bit of both.   There are adjacent skills and experiences that I think transfer across different business sectors anyway, and sometimes people don't always realise that.”When you start out in property you might be doing a job that is totally unrelated and thinks that you have no skills in the industry whereas actually if you take a step back, you have got lots of transferable skills.   If you're looking to get into property don't procrastinate you need to make a start and don't worry about it all being perfect, it will come together. Secondly, get out there and meet like-minded people that will support you throughout your journey. Finally, know your numbers and create a simple plan that will help guide you through in terms of what you are trying to achieve. BEST MOMENTS “If you're going to be serious about this, and investing hundreds of thousands or even millions of pounds in your property business you need to have spent a bit of time on the ground.” “Spend the time and the effort upfront to get your relationships set up if you go running out the block too fast and you've not got that in place, then it can be more difficult and you will probably make a few more mistakes along the way.” “Everyones different, you need to think about what is the right schedule for you but definitely allocate dedicated time.” “You can read and research as much as you want but ultimately you have to do something.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave Bold Brilliant Podcast -Apple Podcasts (iTunes) -Spotify https://www.amazon.co.uk/No-Money-Down-Property-Investing/dp/1909846767 https://robmoore.com/   ABOUT THE GUEST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality and property sectors.

Jeannette Linfoot is one of the UK's most experienced and trusted mentors, property investors and consultants. With a business journey that's taken her to the top of the corporate world, and now into independent ventures, there are few who know more about the ins and outs of business life. Jeannette has joined Colin today for a candid discussion about the importance of health and safety in all business sectors, the impact of COVID-19 upon the travel industry, and the empowering ways in which we can increase diversity in the workplace. KEY TAKEAWAYS Health and safety is a particularly core aspect of the travel industry. The burden of care is often upon those responsible for organising holidays, and even the tiniest elements of travel and accommodation must be accounted for. Trust, openness and honesty, are key to making sure our customers feel secure and comfortable. But it's equally as important to nurture those values for our workforce. Coronavirus has demonstrated to the world that health and safety is of crucial importance to all aspects of our lives. Never has safety in the workplace been under more scrutiny. Increasing diversity of any kind is an incremental process, and must be steadfastly maintained, built upon the core value of ensuring that diverse role models are visible and respected.  BEST MOMENTS ‘I'm fascinated by how you can bring the corporate aspect to the entrepreneurial world' ‘If you're buying a business then you need to know what's in it. You need to get under the bonnet' ‘Good health and safety is about communication and interaction' ‘It's about making diversity and inclusion a real strategic priority' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Interesting Health & Safety Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/vn/podcast/the-interesting-health-safety-podcast/id1467771449   Jeannette Linfoot Associates - https://www.jeannettelinfootassociates.com Jeannette Linfoot LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeannettelinfoot/?originalSubdomain=uk ABOUT THE HOST Colin Nottage ‘Making health and safety as important as everything else we do.'
