During their conversation, Phil and Jon talk about his start with the company, growth, and responsibilities as CEO. Jon also speaks on the bread and butter of what makes Belgravia, a smaller conglomerate, a frontrunner in the Chicago condo market and deep dives into how they survived and came out fairly unscathed in the economic downturn of 2008 and how they are navigating the current market. They touch on macroeconomics, failing banks, interest rates and where the market stands and the demand and desire for new product, as well as Belgravia's expansion into the West. Jon provides his thoughts about the challenges in the market and what goes into the decision-making process in choosing and building a project. The pair also discuss distressed investments in office and the fluctuation in occupancy and funding in older spaces, and the wait and see game.

Jon and I had a chat about the current narrative around mens mental health. Many are saying that men should express their emotions more and talk about their feelings. But perhaps that's not what men want, maybe we just want to be left alone to our sheds and our fixing of things. Saying men need to be behaving in a certain way is victim blaming. Maybe we should take a closer look at how men are treated.

Jon felt out of place in the world for much of his life. A while ago he got a diagnosis for Aspergers and suddenly everything made sense to him. He let go of any need to fit in and started to be himself. In this episode we talk about his experience of life and the changes he's made since his diagnosis. There's something to learn about business here, whether you are neuro-diverse or neuro-typical. 

Jon has a business that helps people in the trades make more money. He has also recently been diagnosed with Aspergers. We talked about his approach to sales and marketing and also the impact his diagnosis had on his life.

Jon McCulloch from Grow Your Business Fast... If lack of cashflow kills businesses, what kills cashflow? Not lack of sales (usually) Nope. It’s low prices. And you know why your prices are low? Because your competitors’ are. And you know why you feel you can’t charge (much) more than they do? Because you’re selling the wrong thing. Watch the vid, and I’ll share with you what I mean (and what you SHOULD be selling instead). Then hit the link - http://growyourbusinessfast.co.uk/

Jon McCulloch from the Grow Your Business FAST Operation: I had a momentary panic the other day. Bear with me. Ever told you about my “Fat Jon” moment? Well… … the other day I found I’m almost as heavy as I was at my porkiest. OMAFG. It was a shock, I can tell you. But all wasn’t what it seemed. Watch the vid and you’ll see (and you’ll see why it’s relevant for your business). Link to book your call - growyourbusinessfast.co.uk Oh, and I say 13 stone 9 in the video — I mean 12 stone 9. Duh.

Jon McCulloch from GrowYourBusinessFAST discusses positioning your business... Sick and tired of being treated like the "hired help" by customers and clients? I bet. But it's your own fault — simply because you don't position yourself to demand the respect, treatment, and PRICES you deserve. Watch the video and you'll see how important it is, and how to do it for yourself. And when you've done that... ... hit me up - www.growyourbusinessfast.co.uk

Jon McCulloch from growyourbusinessfast talks about... Pricing… one of my two favourite topics. FACT: we are all undercharging. FACT: increasing your prices benefits _everyone_ you, your clients, the world at large. FACT: most business owners are too spineless, lily-livered, and chickenshit to raise their prices at all, let alone stick to their guns once they have. This is A Good Thing, because it means if YOU are prepared to grow a spine and show a bit of backbone, you can place yourself right at the top of the pile (where it’s less crowded, the air’s cleaner, and you don’t look up to see arseholes hovering above you). Oh, and I give you a dead simple free tip (rare for me) which’ll likely increase your profits by 38.6% or more… … and involve ZERO extra work from you. Just watch the vid. Then do the necessary. www.growyourbusinessfast.co.uk

Jon McCulloch exposes sleazy marketing tactics that caused him needing a shower.

Vicky is currently at a mastermind meeting in Ireland. Since Joe is back in England, Vicky sits down with her mentor, Jon McCulloch, to discuss premium pricing. The biggest problem that comes up at these mastermind meetings is that business owners are not charging enough, so how can they, and you, fix this problem? You’ll have to listen in for answers!   Key Takeaways: [0:45] Vicky is in Ireland! [1:00] The thing that comes up the most at Vicky’s mastermind group is that no one is charging enough. [2:45] Jon shares an example of the times he’s charged too little. [5:50] When selling a product you always want to emphasize to the client what they’re going to get out of it. [7:00] Jon shares another story about a dentist and how the dentist sells his premium services. [12:20] Why do businesses give discounts when the customer didn’t even ask for it? [14:45] Don’t forget! Vicky’s event is on the 3rd and the 4th of November. [15:30] What’s the easiest way to increase your prices? [18:10] Don’t just settle on delivering a service, where you’re barely hitting your industry’s standard. Offer an out-of-the-box experience instead! [21:55] You don’t have to double your prices overnight. Start by increasing your prices in increments. [23:30] Stayed tuned for next week’s episode, featuring Joe!
