Implementing Entrepreneurial Operating Systems (EOS) in Your Business with Derek Newcomer   Have you ever felt like you were great at your craft—but struggling to build a real business around it? You're not alone. In this episode of The Profit Answer Man, we talk to someone who lived that exact journey and came out stronger for it. Meet Derek Newcomer—a former fitness entrepreneur who learned the hard way that being a great coach isn't enough. Today, he's a certified EOS Implementer guiding business owners to gain control, clarity, and consistent results using the Entrepreneurial Operating System.   If you're a business owner feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to delegate without chaos, this episode is your wake-up call. Derek's story is proof that you can align your vision, structure your team, and scale without losing your mind—or your money.   In This Episode, You Will Learn: Why being great at your craft doesn't mean you're great at running a business. The hard lessons Derek learned about delegation, leadership, and control. How EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) became the framework that changed everything. The step-by-step process he uses to help teams execute on vision without burning out. Why "letting go of the vine" is one of the hardest—and most profitable—moves you'll ever make.   Key Takeaways: Don't Confuse Skill with Strategy: Derek was a top-tier fitness coach, but success in business required a whole new skill set—systems, delegation, and financial discipline. Delegation Requires Process, Not Just Trust: One of Derek's biggest mistakes was failing to train his team with structured systems. He learned the power of documenting what works and holding others accountable to results. Vision Without Execution Is a Fantasy: EOS helped him—and now his clients—translate big goals into daily actions that actually move the needle. Pain Leads to Clarity: Derek's business struggles became the training ground for the financial and operational clarity he now brings to his clients. Entrepreneurs Need Coaches Too: EOS Implementers act as that strategic, outside perspective to keep business owners out of the weeds and focused on growth.   About Derek Newcomer: Derek Newcomer is a Certified EOS Implementer who's guided over 20 companies through more than 225 full-day EOS sessions. With a background in fitness coaching, leadership development, and executive coaching, Derek brings a unique mix of hands-on experience and strategic insight. He combines business systems, leadership development, and personal growth to help entrepreneurs lead well, scale effectively, and build businesses that serve their lives—not consume them.   Conclusion: Ready to Work On Your Business Instead of In It? This episode is more than just a story—it's a roadmap. If Derek's journey resonated with you, maybe it's time to evaluate your own systems, margins, and team accountability. Want help?

This episode features an interview with Jen Rapp, CMO at Superside, an AI-powered creative service, trusted by 500+ top brands. Jen has over 20 years of experience developing and executing marketing strategies for high-growth companies, with a particular focus on working alongside entrepreneurial leaders to scale.She discusses selling the vision and how doing good impacts marketing, sharing her lessons from her time at Patagonia and DoorDash. She also discusses winning on meta through quality creative and driving qualified leads through virtual summits. Key Takeaways:Don't sleep on meta ads. If your ICP is on Instagram, those ads can be some of the cleanest and most effective ads to drive pipeline, especially if you have quality creative. Virtual Summits, or essentially a stack of webinars, are a great way to get emails and drive pipeline if you are truly offering great content. Sell the vision, not the product. A focus on features, instead of stories, is rarely the way to go. Quote:“  I would not have said this a year ago, when I first joined the company - number one is our meta, paid meta spend. I came to this company and I saw how much we were spending on Meta, and I was like, whoa, what the hell are these people doing? They're making mistakes left and right. Nope. We drive a majority, or a lot, I shouldn't say a majority, a lot of our qualified pipeline through our Meta spend. Our Meta spend also acts as our top of funnel awareness driver.  When we turn off meta, we basically turn off the ability of our SDRs and our BDRs to convert people to SQLs. It is invaluable. So number one, my marketing team is like rallied around creating incredible creative for Meta.”Episode Timestamps: *(03:51) The Trust Tree: Making sure customers have confidence in you*(12:12) The Playbook: The power of Meta ads*(33:10) The Dust Up: Standing up to brilliant founders*(41:01) Quick Hits: Jen's Quick HitsSponsor:Pipeline Visionaries is brought to you by Qualified.com.

Did you know there might be life-changing benefits and financial advantages you're missing out on simply because you never asked, “What am I entitled to as a veteran?” In this episode of Cut to the Chase: Podcast, Gregg is joined by a very special guest—his father, Max Goldfarb. A Korean War veteran, practicing attorney of 67 years, and the self-proclaimed “King of Collection” in Florida, Max shares his journey navigating VA benefits, disability ratings, and advocating for himself and other vets. From his frontline experiences during the Korean War to receiving full VA disability and benefits, Max offers helpful advice for veterans who may not be aware of the support they're entitled to. Whether you're a veteran, have one in your family, or just love a story filled with wisdom, resilience, and humor, this episode is for you. What you'll learn in this episode: Why so many veterans, especially from older wars, are unaware of their full VA benefits Max's journey from Korean War frontlines to discovering and successfully claiming disability ratings (PTSD, tinnitus, and physical injury) How to navigate application forms, administrative appeals, and advocate-driven compensation increases Why you need legal advocates to boost disability ratings and win appeals, especially when records have been lost or destroyed Using disability status for property tax relief in Florida—step-by-step from partial to full exemption The VA hospital experience: Debunking myths with real positive reporting Funeral & Memorial Benefits: What military families should know Honor Flight: A special resource for veterans to visit D.C. war memorials (and why you should apply!) Practical tips for lawyers advising veteran clients: Filing VA claims, documenting experiences, and finding advocacy support Key Takeaways: Don't Assume Veterans Know Their Rights: Many older veterans, especially from earlier wars, aren't aware of the full spectrum of benefits available. Initiate the conversation. Encourage Clients to Apply (or Appeal): Disability claims can be filed (and retroactively increased) decades after discharge, even if service records have been lost. Use Advocates: Connect clients with dedicated veteran's advocates to maximize their claims—these professionals can make or break a complex case. Stay Resourceful: If crucial documentation is missing, alternative evidence (doctor's letters, witness statements) can still win the day. Leverage Local Laws: Understand and utilize state-specific tax exemptions and statutory advantages for disabled veterans. Stay in Touch With Real-World Impact: Inform clients about programs like Honor Flight and funeral benefits—they're deeply meaningful and legally relevant. Make Your Firm Veteran-Friendly: Share resources (like VA forms and advocate contacts) directly on your website or in client communications. Familiarize yourself with VA Form 21-526EZ for disability compensation and keep a list of trusted VA advocates for client referrals.

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean and Kevin tackle the burning question: is now a bad time to invest or a golden opportunity? Kevin shares contrarian wisdom about market timing, revealing why professionals continue making deals while amateurs wait for the perfect moment that never exists. With over 120 properties in his portfolio, Kevin gives advice on navigating uncertain markets, spotting opportunities when others panic and why housing will always remain a fundamental need—even in an AI-dominated future. KEY TAKEAWAYS Don't try to time the market. Focus on finding good deals that work now rather than waiting for the "perfect" moment to buy. Down markets create the best buying opportunities because motivated sellers fear prices dropping further, allowing you to negotiate better discounts. Property remains a fundamental human need regardless of economic conditions or technology changes, people will always need somewhere to live. Choose a strategy you'll actually implement in your local area. Deal packaging, rent-to-rent, service accommodation, or HMOs can all work when done right. Government housing promises rarely materialise as planned because they benefit from higher property values that generate more tax revenue. Economic downturns increase demand for affordable housing like HMOs as people look to save money by sharing accommodations with bills included. BEST MOMENTS "The amateurs wait till the market's gone up. They wait till the media tell them the market's gone up so they know which house to buy. Most people take their advice from their mate down the pub, their mate at work, their parents, or the media, and none of them have ever bought a house." "I have never seen anybody lose money when they held onto the house. Why? Because you ride it out and it goes back up. If you buy right, you'll always make money. And then when the market drops, you just ride it out and you survive." "Everyone is gonna need a home to live in. Property is the one thing that everybody needs. Food and housing, but food can be made artificial. Housing will always be housing because people will always need shelter." "You can either make excuses or make money, but you're not making both. Two types of people listening to this podcast, those that let the world happen to them and those that create their own world. Which one are you?"

In this episode of World's Greatest Boss, Jackie Koch chats about one of the most common and challenging issues in leadership: handling underperforming employees. As a boss, it's tempting to make subtle changes—like cutting hours, posting a new job, or quietly giving tasks to other team members—hoping the problem will resolve itself. Spoiler: It doesn't work.Jackie breaks down the four biggest mistakes managers make when dealing with performance issues and provides practical advice for handling these situations the right way. You'll learn why direct and honest communication is crucial, how to avoid sending mixed messages, and why leading with transparency fosters a culture of trust. Plus, Jackie shares how to document conversations to protect your business while also being fair and kind.What You'll Hear in This Episode:[1:00] The problem with cutting hours or changing schedules to encourage employees to quit.[6:45] Why posting a higher-level job and letting current employees apply is unfair and ineffective.[12:10] How subtly taking away responsibilities can lead to confusion and resentment.[18:30] The danger of ignoring underperformers in the hope they'll leave on their own.[25:00] Bonus mistake: Stopping engagement with an underperformer instead of addressing the problem.Key Takeaways:Don't Change Schedules or Hours: Hoping employees will quit on their own when you change their shifts or workload only creates confusion and frustration, not improvement.Avoid Posting the Job and Letting Employees Reapply: It's unfair and sends a message that you've already written them off. Instead, clearly communicate expectations and offer support.Stop Quietly Reassigning Tasks: Taking responsibilities away without explanation demotivates both the under performer and the rest of the team.Don't Ignore the Problem: Avoidance only leads to bigger issues later. Have honest, consistent conversations, and document everything.Leadership Is Practice: Mistakes happen—what matters is learning from them and being transparent in your leadership journey.Connect with Jackie:Follow Jackie on LinkedIn: Jackie Koch on LinkedInVisit the website: People PrinciplesEnjoying the podcast?

Sara shares how her fifth-year leap into the "100 Best Fleets" was game-changing, and Facundo recounts how being stuck behind a train on his first day led to earning the trust of a skeptical technician. The duo emphasizes networking, certifications, and shutting up long enough to actually hear your team out. Whether you're brand new or looking for a fleet leadership refresh, this episode is a goldmine of actionable advice—and it's way more fun than a fleet manual. 

If you've ever been frustrated by a team member who should be operating at a high level but just… isn't, you're not alone. In this episode, I break down a simple but powerful framework called the Leadership Performance Matrix™—a tool I use to help nonprofit leaders pinpoint exactly why someone is underperforming and what to do about it.Instead of jumping to conclusions about someone's motivation or competency, I walk you through how to diagnose the real root of the problem—whether it's about clarity, motivation, or ability. This structured approach can help you stop spinning your wheels and start leading with confidence.Whether you're an Executive Director or managing a small but mighty team, this framework will change the way you think about performance.

In today's fast-paced digital world, attention spans are shrinking. Long, rambling messages are often skimmed, ignored, or simply lost in the noise. This is especially true on platforms like WhatsApp, where brevity and clarity are key to effective communication. Recently, I had the opportunity to dive deep into this concept through a live case study. While filming a documentary for the British Council on Sustainable Business in Nigeria, I encountered a business owner using WhatsApp to communicate with her customers. Her message was warm and friendly, but it was also lengthy. This sparked an idea: could we make it shorter, punchier, and more effective? The Challenge: Transforming a Good Message into a Great Sales Tool The original message, while well-intentioned, suffered from a common pitfall: it was too long. In a world of endless scrolling, people are less likely to read lengthy paragraphs. Furthermore, the call to action, while present, could have been stronger and more direct. Here's a glimpse of the original message: "Happy Sunday, Fam! We hope you're having a restful and beautiful day. Remember, good food makes every moment better, and we've got you covered! At MeeBest Foods, we sell clean, neatly packaged foodstuffs at affordable prices. We also offer goat meat and cow sharing, ensuring you get fresh, quality meat without stress. Plus, we ship abroad with doorstep delivery, so you have nothing to worry about!

Struggling with excess inventory that just won't move? You're not alone. In today's episode, we're diving into one of the most common challenges retailers face: what to do with all that unsold inventory—and, more importantly, how to stop it from happening again. Here's the truth: it's not always about running another sale or marking things down (though we'll cover that too). Often, the biggest problem with excess inventory starts long before the markdowns... and it's all about how much attention and strategy you're giving each piece. In this episode, we cover: Why excess inventory builds up in the first place (spoiler: it's not just overbuying) How to give your products the love they need to actually sell Creative ways to clear out old inventory fast, including bundle sales, ladder sales, and more Why early markdowns are better than desperate discounting How to treat your inventory like cash The importance of knowing your numbers - inventory age, demand, and seasonality How your online visibility is directly tied to moving inventory Why checking your Hub dashboard and scorecard can make all the difference Key Takeaways: Don't just clear excess inventory - learn from it. Take action on old products quickly: refresh photos, promote, and get eyes on it. Cash flow matters more than holding onto items that aren't moving. Check your Google visibility and analytics to keep traffic flowing to your site or store. Ready for more help?

Key Takeaways:Don't invest with syndicators you don't know personally. It's important to thoroughly vet and understand how a syndicator operates before investing with them.Align incentives with your investment partners. The general partner should have significant skin in the game and be taking on meaningful risk alongside the limited partners.Be very conservative in your underwriting and stress test deals for various scenarios. Don't rely on overly optimistic assumptions.Focus on getting 20%+ annualized cash-on-cash returns. Anything less may not be worth the risk and effort compared to other investment options.Avoid 50/50 partnerships, as they can lead to stalemates and disputes. One partner should have majority control.

In this episode, Clare talks about the six pillars you need to connect deeply with your new country: food, language, traditions, relationships, history and values. Fortunately, provided you are willing to take the time, you will find connecting using these pillars very enjoyable. Clare shares her approach to learning all about a new country. A simple, yet effective approach that will work for anyone regardless of where they relocate to. KEY TAKEAWAYS Don´t just experience life on the periphery, connect with the heart of your new country. Food really is a gateway to culture. Everyone eats, most people love doing it and are very passionate about their nation´s cuisine. So you connect deeply through food. When people invite you to join them for dinner, take them up on that offer. It´s a great entry point. Eating with local people opens up the chance to build multiple pillars at once. Learning even a few words of your new country´s language makes a huge difference. Using your new language will help you to pick up on cultural differences and nuances. Learning about and respecting traditions is important. You can still show respect for traditions you don’t fully agree with and do so without undermining your own values and beliefs. Foster relationships. Learning the history and enjoying some of the experiences the locals love shows respect. Your new friends and neighbours will really appreciate it. Understanding the values of your new country is the best way to fit in faster. Be mindful and respectful of the values of others, but don´t lose sight of yours. BEST MOMENTS “Food is the gateway to a culture.” “There are many things that can create interesting and stimulating conversation that start with food.” “In learning a language, you also end up learning nuances and cultural preferences.” “There are some wonderful experiences of tradition that can be challenging or engaging. Either way, it's really worth it when we persevere and get to know them.” “Showing an interest in the history of a place is a great way to get some context for why things are the way they are.” ABOUT THE HOST: Clare Kay is a seasoned global traveller and professional with a rich background in international sales, customer service, and personal development. From selling books and television programs internationally to teaching English as a foreign language and proofreading for non-native speakers, Clare’s career has always been globally focused. Her extensive travels for business have given her first-hand experience with numerous cultures. Having moved countries multiple times—from the UK to Zambia, China, Taiwan, Nigeria, and the USA—Clare brings a wealth of direct experience. Her podcast ‘Moving Countries 101’ is an extension of her lifelong commitment to international engagement and cultural understanding.

How do you advocate for someone you love when they struggle to follow their treatment plan? In this episode, Cherri Furness, a nurse specializing in chronic kidney disease, shares her deeply personal story. Cherri's son, Jeff, is not just one of her patients—he's also navigating his own journey with kidney failure. Tune in to hear how Cherri balances being both a caregiver and advocate, even when Jeff resists taking care of himself. Key Takeaways: Don't Ignore Subtle Changes: Pay attention to small signs—they often signal bigger problems. While pain is an obvious warning, the absence of it doesn't mean all is well. Conditions like worsening kidney function, high blood pressure, or glaucoma often progress silently. Early detection can make all the difference. Make Treatment Plans Work for You: Adhering to a treatment plan is essential, but it also needs to fit your lifestyle. If it doesn't, speak up! Simple adjustments—like changing medications, reducing doses, or modifying the schedule—can make it easier to stay on track without compromising effectiveness. Honor the Angels in Your Life: Caregivers are the the angels – the unsung heroes – who often put their own needs aside to support your recovery. While your health is your journey, remember that you're not in it alone. Appreciate the angels in your corner who walk this path with you.

Podcast Summary: This episode provides three practical strategies for school administrators to gain momentum for project-based learning (PBL) in their schools. The three strategies are: Get started today. This means taking steps like visiting schools with successful PBL programs, engaging in book studies about PBL, or listening to podcasts on PBL for administrators. When visiting other schools, administrators should bring along key stakeholders like assistant principals, teachers, community partners, parents, and school board members. Create a grassroots movement. Instead of a top-down mandate, a grassroots movement encourages teachers to embrace PBL and advocate for it. A PBL Learning Team or Leadership Team can be created to visit PBL schools, receive training, and implement PBL in their own classrooms. By showcasing successful PBL implementation within their own school, these teams can inspire other teachers to adopt PBL. Design Days can be utilized to visit model schools, build three-year plans, and receive coaching for successful implementation. Provide robust training. Teachers need at least three days of intensive training with follow-up coaching to effectively implement PBL. Training should emphasize authentic PBL, where students solve real-world problems and develop essential employability skills. Authentic PBL engages students and teachers more deeply and leads to more meaningful learning experiences. Key Takeaways: Don't delay in taking action to bring PBL to your school. Foster a grassroots movement among your staff to create buy-in and enthusiasm for PBL. Invest in robust and authentic PBL training for your teachers to ensure successful implementation. Call to Action: Start taking steps to implement PBL in your school today, even if it's just small steps. Consider attending a PBL training or workshop. Visit schools that have successful PBL programs.

174 Behind the Scenes of 2024 2024 has been a year of growth, challenges, and meaningful evolution. In this intimate and reflective episode we share  a behind-the-scenes journey through 2024 in our coaching business. The year kicked off with a significant milestone: hiring a team of qualified coaching supervisors to support learners completing their coaching qualifications. Reflecting on this process, we share how our initial concerns about recruitment—"Would anyone want to work with us?"—were quickly replaced by excitement as we met a wave of talented, passionate professionals eager to contribute. This expansion not only enriched the team but also enhanced diversity, strengthening our learners' experience with fresh perspectives. But it wasn't all smooth sailing. Jo humorously recounts a roof disaster that began as a minor patch-up job and spiralled into a two-week replacement, offering listeners a glimpse of life's unpredictability. Similarly, Zoe shares her challenges juggling family expectations during the summer when work had to take precedence, highlighting the delicate balance between business growth and personal life. We celebrate major achievements, including the launch of two significant programs: Group and Team Coaching Program: A natural next step for coaches looking to expand their impact. Neurodivergent Inclusive Practitioner Training: Designed to help coaches create truly inclusive spaces. Throughout the year, we also ran standout events like the Coaching Summit and the Emotions Coaching Summit, which attracted over 1,000 participants each. We also share how we spontaneously added a new initiative—a coaching challenge—born from a 4 a.m. idea. This experiment proved to be a joyful success, offering simple ways for participants to engage, learn, and grow. On a personal note, we share how we both invested in their own development: Zoe attended a spiritual retreat in California, deepening her exploration of consciousness and systemic influences, while Jo explored sound healing and body-oriented coaching. Our reflections reveal a shared value of lifelong learning, not only for our clients but also for ourselves. The episode concludes with warmth, gratitude, and a reminder that growth often comes through new experiences, creative experiments, and embracing the imperfections of life and business. Whether you're a coach, entrepreneur, or someone curious about the realities of running a thriving business, this episode is an inspiring and relatable listen. Key Lessons Learned: Growth is rarely seamless: Hiring, expanding, or trying something new brings challenges, but it's worth it for long-term success. Diversity enriches community: Expanding perspectives improves team dynamics and learning outcomes. Balance is a constant work in progress: Business growth and personal responsibilities require intentional navigation. Spontaneous ideas can spark success: The Coaching Challenge was a hit because we trusted our instincts and kept it simple. Your environment matters: A creative, supportive space fuels productivity and inspiration. Investing in yourself fuels your business: Retreats and personal development deepen your capacity to serve others. Key Takeaways: Don't let perfectionism stop you—take action and refine as you go. Experiment with new initiatives like events, challenges, or programs. You'll learn what works and evolve. Prioritise diversity when growing your team; it strengthens perspectives and relationships. Invest time in personal development—it's not separate from business success. Life isn't perfect. Balance business with family, and remember to show yourself compassion during setbacks.

Many are familiar with the idea of sowing and reaping—everyone gets excited about the harvest. But what about the process of cultivation? Cultivation involves nurturing something from its early stages, requiring patience, persistence, and dedication before the fruits of labor can be reaped. When pursuing a goal, it's easy to focus on the end result, but the real work happens in the cultivation phase. Success doesn't happen overnight, and sometimes the road is longer and more difficult than expected. But those who stay strong long enough to endure the challenges are the ones who will ultimately see their dreams come to fruition. So, as you reflect on your goals for the year ahead, remember that cultivation is an essential part of success. It's not always glamorous, but it's where the real growth happens. Can you stay strong enough, long enough to endure the process and continue working toward your dreams? The answer to that question will shape your path to success. In this week's episode, I reflect on the lessons of 2024 and the importance of cultivating your dreams. As the year wraps up, I highlight the hard work it takes to keep moving forward, whether celebrating big wins or simply surviving.

Key Takeaways: Don't Let Emotions Control You Emotions like greed or fear can make people make bad choices when investing. Stay calm and think carefully before making decisions. Think Long-Term Focus on investments you'd feel good about holding for at least ten years. This helps you avoid making quick, risky moves. Be Picky With Investments Imagine you can only make 20 big investment decisions in your life. This mindset helps you choose wisely and focus on the best opportunities.

What lessons can we learn from a family mystery about missing keys and how to manage stress and communication during unexpected challenges? This episode dives into the chaotic, humorous, and frustrating journey of searching for missing car keys in the Greene household. Rebecca and Seth recount how a seemingly minor inconvenience turned into a multi-day ordeal involving snow shoveling, metal detectors, and miscommunication. Along the way, they share insights on communication, patience, and practical problem-solving. Key Takeaways: ➡️ Don't Jump to Conclusions: Assumptions can lead to unnecessary stress—gather all the facts first. ➡️ Communicate Thoroughly: Open and honest communication helps solve problems faster. ➡️ Be Persistent, But Find Humor: Perseverance is essential, but laughter can help diffuse frustration. ➡️ Utilize Technology: AirTags or similar devices can save time and stress. ➡️ Value of Spare Keys: Always know the location of your spare keys to avoid prolonged chaos. Quotes: Rebecca: "Communication is critical—I should have retraced everyone's steps instead of assuming the culprit." Seth: "I learned that coming in with just apologies, instead of a detective story, would have worked better." Ultimately, The Case of the Missing Keys wasn't just about lost keys—it was a reminder of the importance of teamwork, patience, and staying grounded amidst chaos. Seth and Rebecca's story shows that even in moments of frustration, there's room for humor, growth, and love. As Rebecca wisely noted, "Communication is critical," and Seth reminds us that "Everyone makes mistakes." With lessons learned and a cleaner, more organized house, this family mystery became an unforgettable tale of resilience and connection.

Talking solo, Jesse tackles two important, ever-present investing questions in today's monologue. Should I try to time the market? How do I beat the market? The truth is, the timeless advice stands: diversify your portfolio, steer clear of speculation, and invest early and often. Diversifying is like buying the haystack, rather than looking for the needle, because, the truth is, you probably won't find the needle. Speculative stock-picking is like picking out some straw and hoping it'll turn out to be the needle. To illustrate the benefits of consistent investing - rather than attempted market timing - Jesse tells the tale of Bad Timing Bill, Normal Nick, and Good Timing Gary. Bill and Gary both tried to time the market. This episode is packed with insight you'll want to return to again and again. Key Takeaways: • Don't look for the needle in the haystack. Buy the haystack. Most stock pickers stumble into success. • There's no such thing as skilled stock picking because we can never know the entire market. • Just because a business is massive and visible, doesn't mean it will forever make good decisions. • How to sort out a fair price for something. A good burger isn't worth 100 dollars! • What are CAPE and PE ratios? • The story of Bill, Nick, and Gary: Why you shouldn't try to time the market.  Key Timestamps:(00:00) The Best Interest Year in Review (08:02) The Evergreen Question: Is Now the Right Time to Invest?

Doug is joined by Liam Barry, a client journey and automation specialist. Liam has spent 15 years mastering the art of automotive simulation as a process specialist and he talks to Doug about how he has transformed complex tasks into streamlined operations that boosted speed, efficiency, and consistency. He also shares how he has taken that same innovative approach, and applied it to the business world, helping companies drive more leads, increase sales conversions, and ultimately, enhance their bottom line. Their conversation gives practical insights for any business owner looking to modernise their operations while maintaining authentic customer connections. KEY TAKEAWAYS Don't rush into buying multiple software subscriptions. First, you need to assess what functionality your existing systems offer, to avoid unnecessary costs and complexity. AI and automation shift the workforce rather than eliminate it. New technology creates new types of jobs while streamlining existing processes. Break down large automation goals into manageable chunks. Ensure you focus on the process that's taking most of your time first and then expand from there. Automation can save significant time in client onboarding so what takes hours manually can be reduced to zero whilst still maintaining consistency. The key to effective AI implementation is providing detailed, conversational input as generic questions yield generic answers. Different generations have varying preferences for communication, consider offering both automated and personal touch options. Personal videos can be integrated into automated sequences to maintain human connection while saving time. Understanding your client journey before implementing tech solutions ensures you choose the right tools and automation strategies. BEST MOMENTS "We map out exactly what you want to achieve with your business,  how you want clients and leads to experience your business and then when we understand that and we understand the end goal, we can sort out the technology to make that happen in the most automated and efficient way." "Learn what you need so you understand, not say you're an expert." "If you do something where it's much more conversational, more like how two humans, I know this sounds ridiculous, but how you would communicate with two humans is like, this is what I'm trying to do. This is the background. This is what I want to get out of it." "We're not trying to lose the personal touch by using automation. We don't want it to sound like a robot." "If we sit here and go, right, we're going to have this, 10 different client journeys within my business of all these different things I want to do. I want them all singing and dancing and all automating."

How do you turn a cold text into a closed deal? In this episode, I coach Dennis, one of my former students, through a tough lead where the seller only wanted to communicate via text. It's a common struggle—texting limits the conversation, hides crucial motivations, and can lead to a lot of frustration. But don't worry; we cracked the code on how to handle these situations! I'll walk you through how to stop playing defense and take control of the conversation, pushing for that all-important face-to-face meeting while keeping the seller engaged. You'll learn practical tips to avoid offering too much too soon, discover the four key pillars of motivation, and understand the power of going for the "no." By the end, you'll see why it's critical to stop worrying about price and start solving problems for your sellers. Key Takeaways: Don't Give Too Many Options: Push for a phone call or in-person meeting early. Set Expectations: Establish from the start that you're here to do business and come to an agreement. Go for "No": If a seller isn't responsive, push for a definitive answer to save time. Focus on Solving Problems, Not Just Price: It's about uncovering the seller's needs, not just tossing offers around. Keep it Simple: Don't overwhelm sellers with too much info about your process. Keep the conversation about them.

"Clarity and confidence are cultivated through consistent action, and trusting in divine guidance is essential throughout this process." ~Tami Imlay Only a few journeys that have straight paths are worth talking about. If you think of the hikes, walks, and paths you have taken, the ones that are the windiest are the ones you still talk about and remember. The path to your purpose and fulfilling your calling is the same. As you journey, you will encounter hills, valleys, twists and turns, roadblocks, and detours…it's all part of your story.  I want this to encourage you to take the first steps anyway. Use it to propel you forward because you won't have the clarity or details you want until you start!    Today, I'll discuss three things to be aware of so they don't stop you from doing what you are called to do!    Ready to take action?  Book a Call with Me!  Set a time on your calendar right before our call to take a moment and breathe.  This is the only preparation you'll need. It's that easy!  Join the call and allow your heart to be heard and seen.   Key Takeaways: Don't Let the Vision Stop You: Individuals should not be dissuaded by the absence of a clear vision or the overwhelming nature of their calling.

Not every step will yield immediate success, but each step holds intrinsic value. Don't Go It Alone: Community and support are critical in the journey toward discovering one's purpose. Surrounding oneself with supportive individuals who comprehend the journey can offer guidance and motivation.   Journal Question:  Reflect on a moment in your life that catalyzed a significant realization about your purpose.

Ash and Kane explore why podcast ads are outperforming traditional channels and how both podcasters and advertisers can capitalise on this. Learn about maximising sponsorship opportunities, crafting effective ad messages, and leveraging the unique advantages of podcast advertising. From the power of micro influencers to the importance of trackable discount codes, Ash and Kane explain the key factors driving success in this £4 billion industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS Don't sell features or benefits, sell the outcomes and transformation Podcast ads have a better return than many more traditional advertising channels, which is why it has so much focus right now. The £4billion ad spend in podcasting comes from the same top 20-30% of companies. Discount codes and deals are essential when working with a sponsor to make things trackable. It means if they sign up from a different channel, they will still use your code and it will be attributed to you. Podcasters or micro influencers, are better at converting, so for marketing spend it makes sense to use them. Letting small podcasters have creative autonomy over and add makes it more authentic to their audience. One of the theories behind podcast ads converting so highly is due to the way the content is consumed. It is consumed passively whilst doing other things and in doing this, individuals generally listen more and retain information and the ad more. Podcasters know their audience incredibly well so they can contextualise and tailor the advertising for them. BEST MOMENTS "You can sponsor a podcaster and get huge leverage” “You can see why these companies are doubling their ad spend” “It all adds to its credibility” That is the ultimate form of advertising, it's fun but it's memorable and the brand gets paid beyond when it's paying” “You can contextualise your advertising” VALUABLE RESOURCES Website EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT Comparing Podcast Production Options | using AI?

I know, I know, it's so tempting to try and lose weight before vacations. In fact, it almost feels like you're supposed to lose weight before a trip.    I'm here to have a big sis heart-to-heart with you today to let you know that cutting out carbs and restricting your food isn't going to make you happier on vacation. It's going to make you miserable.    In this episode, we're going to talk about how to handle those urges to get back on the dieting bandwagon before a trip or special event such as a party or wedding, and I'm going to show you what to do instead when it comes to your strategy with eating.    You'll learn how to incorporate satisfying food, without cutting out your favorite sweets or desserts, and how to do this without going overboard. I'm going to show you the utility of flexible structure with food and menu planning (minus the diet mentality).    We're also going to dig into some strategies with body image so that you can wear the swimsuit, show your bare arms in that dress you bought, and be in the photos - no more avoiding these things!   Key Takeaways   Don't be dieting and restricting to lose weight before a vacation or event. This will backfire on you. Plan satisfying meals and snacks to help you stay in the headspace of eating intuitively and providing yourself with food you enjoy (rather than restricting). (Don't forget to grab the templates for this at nondietacademy.com/menuplan) Wear the darn swimsuit. Desensitize yourself to it by DOING IT. Wear it at home to practice if you need to. Find a style you like.  Work through your fears of judgment about your body from people who you haven't seen in a while. Even if they judge you, it's going to be ok. You don't have to spend your life dieting and obsessing about food to win their approval. Be in the photos. Capture the memories. Don't scrutinize yourself.    Today's Wellness Woo is cortisol.   Resources Mentioned   - Grab my Free Meal Planning Cheat Sheet + Templates - Listen to Episode 83: Can You Balance Your Hormones?
