47SOUL is a Palestinian Shamstep group. In fact they founded the genre! The musical collective formed in Jordan in 2013, and take their influence from hip-hop, electronica and R&B - and melded it with the sounds of Dabke, a traditional folk dance, and other Shaa'bi roots music from the Levantine region. 47SOUL has a big following across Arab countries, the global Arab diaspora and beyond.

Today, Toni interviews Shaa Wasmund, a successful entrepreneur with a remarkable background. Shaa shares her journey from humble beginnings to achieving significant success in business, emphasizing her drive to help others reach their full potential. Their discussion delves into topics such as resilience, the power of business to level the playing field, the importance of loyalty and friendship, and the challenges of raising a child in a privileged environment while instilling values of appreciation and understanding. Shaa's candid reflections on luck and empowerment serve as a powerful message for listeners to take control of their own opportunities and not attribute success solely to luck.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Shaa emphasizes the importance of resilience and making conscious choices in life, rather than relying on luck or external factors. She discusses the challenges of raising a child in a privileged environment while ensuring they understand and appreciate the privileges they have. Shaa consciously surrounds herself with strong role models and empowers others to take control of her own opportunities and success. She rejects the notion of luck as a determining factor in success, emphasizing the importance of seizing opportunities through preparation and hard work. BEST MOMENTS "I think I have actually been unluckier than the vast majority of people on this planet with the things that I've experienced." "You're here because your parents can afford it. I'm here on a scholarship because my brains did it for me." "Luck is where they say opportunity meets preparation. And I 100% agree with that." "Loyalty to somebody is where it doesn't matter what the situation is, your loyalty to them overrides it." HOST BIO Toni's journey defies the norm. Raised with a strong work ethic and a traditional career path in mind, she initially pursued a corporate job in HR after earning her degree. However, in 2015, everything changed when she attended a property training seminar. Little did she know that this event would ignite a profound passion for property investment. With her husband Chris, Toni raised millions in joint venture finance, creating a multi-million-pound property portfolio. But her story doesn't stop there. By the age of 33, she left her HR job behind to empower others in building their successful property businesses. Toni's passion for public speaking led her to become a world record holder. Beyond the accolades, she sees it as a calling to educate and inspire. Toni hosts training events and uses her "Talks with Toni" podcast to share insights, interview captivating guests, and motivate her audience.

The obsession with money and prioritizing it above everything else is the root of all evil.Our money stories can be changed, and limiting beliefs around money can still exist at any level of wealth.Encouraging children to budget and plan for their future is a valuable lesson that can set them up for success.Developing a healthy relationship with money comes from within and starts with self-belief and self-worth.Changing your relationship with money is a journey and a work in progress, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution.Connect with Shea Wasmund MBEWebsite https://www.shaa.com/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/shaawasmundInstagram https://www.instagram.com/shaawasmund/LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaawasmund/Connect with Lesley ThomasFREE Resources www.themoneyconfidenceacademy.com/resources/My website www.themoneyconfidenceacademy.com/Join my Facebook Group www.facebook.com/groups/letstalkmoneyandmoreYoutube channel www.youtube.com/@themoneyconfidenceacademyFollow me on Instagram www.instagram.com/lesleythomascoaching/Connect with me on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/lesley-thomas Hosted on Acast.

Coming from a turbulent childhood living in hostels for the homeless, Shaa Wasmund was determined to create a financially secure future. Whilst studying at the London School of Economics, she seized an opportunity to work with Chris Eubank during the lead up to the biggest fight in British Boxing history against Nigel Benn, and ended up making a name for herself in the sport.Her intelligence, determination and savviness opened doors, and soon she was helping build the brand of a small vacuum cleaning business with a little known inventor named James Dyson!Several successful ventures, a Sunday Times Best Selling Book, and an MBE later, Shaa has become a truly great British entrepreneur.She's a joy to talk with and I can see why the Telegraph described her as having ‘steal balls with spikes on'This is the eventful life of Shaa Wasmund MBE.Website: DodgeWoodall.comInstagram: @Dodge.WoodallLinkedIn: Dodge WoodallYouTube: Dodge Woodall See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Shaa is joined by award-winning coach, motivational speaker, and author of the incredible new book, 'Energize', to talk about his incredible business journey, and how he learned to put the pursuits of his heart and mind above the sometimes superficial achievements we find in the workplace KEY TAKEAWAYS   Far too often, success comes down to the label we acquire in our careers. But these superficial labels tend to come at the cost of our health, happiness and relationships. If you're in a profession that is leaving you unfulfilled, and you wish to jump ship, don't do so without a plan. Build a bridge from one path to the other. The world has changed in radical ways. People are being placed at the centre of decisions and culture in business, meaning that the value of individuals is finally being recognised. When we experience an event, setback, failure or win, the way we interpret it will be very different from the way that others do. This means that we are always in control of choosing our own perspective, which changes our reality. BEST MOMENTS 'Success, for me, was determined by my job title' 'It kickstarted the longest journey we as humans make - from our heads to our hearts' 'I felt like Superman without the super powers' 'You need somewhere, as an entrepreneur, to go and have conversations with other people' VALUABLE RESOURCES Building A Bigger Table Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/building-a-bigger-table    To sign up for Made For More go to shaa.com/m4mexperience ABOUT THE GUEST Everything that Simon does is built to energise people to see their world differently and to awaken their imagination of what is truly possible so that they can live a better story.

His debut book, Energize, will be published by Penguin in April 2022 and is now available for pre-order. MEET YOUR HOST Hi, I'm Shaa.

Join Shaa and a few of the women from the ‘Made for More ‘cohort as they explore the role of the ‘Made for More' Community including why it is so special and how it aids them in always pushing for more in business and in life.   They talk about how having a place you can come together and be honest without fear of judgement, can be invaluable in pushing your dreams, goals and life forward. An uplifting and inspirational episode full of support, encouragement and collaboration.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Having people who get you, who understand your struggles and normalise your ambition is imperative to achieve success and retain your mental wellbeing and self-belief. You can share ideas, brainstorm and just talk with understanding and support. Our path isn't unique to us, but it might not be shared with our closest family and friends. So, finding a peer support group can really help you connect with others, to have great conversations, work with you and importantly, celebrate with you too. Belief is essential to working towards your goals. If you don't believe you can do it, then you won't. This is why it can be a struggle to talk to people who are held back by their own limiting beliefs and fears. You need to be around likeminded individuals who will uplift you not hold you back and this is where the right community can come into play. Women aren't less ambitious, we just tend to have more limiting beliefs due to the way society treats us. Women aren't less passionate or ambitious, they have just been taught fear and often worry about asking questions. Women are always trying to be the best in every area of their lives. We can unfortunately feel like asking for help is a sign of weakness but this couldn't be further from the truth. Asking people for help is a sign of strength and it also signifies to others that it is ok to ask when you need support. Made for More isn't about learning but implementation. Doing the work that needs to be done for everyone to get and see results. It's important to compete with yourself and collaborate with others. Your only competition should be with yourself, we are all on our own journeys and if we can help each other by collaborating, communicating and supporting one another then we can all help each other win too.   BEST MOMENTS  “It's not always easy to normalise your ambition” “When you have a high, people don't get it. So, you then start questioning yourself. That self-belief can be really challenging to overcome, especially when they are working alone” “When you have a win, it's a win for everybody…it's a celebratory win for everybody and if one person can win, they we all can win” “It's completely revolutionised everything in my business, because of all the support I have had in the group” “This is your lane and you're going to slay it your way”   VALUABLE RESOURCES Building A Bigger Table Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/building-a-bigger-table      MEET YOUR HOST Hi, I'm Shaa.

DESCRIPTION   This week, Shaa shares how women over the age of forty are now the fastest growing business demographic, but also the group that is granted the least amount of funding, and why that needs to change.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  Women over 40 are now the fastest growing group of business owners out there. This has come from a greater need to create financial security and freedom for themselves and their families. This is the time in life when women have hugely valuable experience, a wide network … and yet, limited funding.  Women need a safe space to normalise their ambitions. We need to surround ourselves with like minded women who champion each other. BEST MOMENTS  'We're going to level up our conversations and normalise our ambitions' 'We can't change anything by ourselves - we have to do this collectively' VALUABLE RESOURCES  Building A Bigger Table Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/building-a-bigger-table    MEET YOUR HOST Hi, I'm Shaa.

This week, Shaa shares how to make your life easier - from the home to your business. Including the Wheel Of Life technique, plus three core practices you can employ immediately, that will ease the burdens in all areas.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Many of us feel as though we have had our wings clipped by lockdown over the last couple of years. When we start to feel like prisoners, our life feels overwhelming.   Analyse who you are spending time with. This is a fundamental contributor in making life and business easier. Communities of like-minded people will inspire and provide accountability.   We can refine the tasks ahead by separating them into three columns: Do, Ditch or Delegate. Prioritising the jobs in front of us, and deciding what's truly important, can serve to free up valuable time.   When we feel energised and empowered, it's far easier to face our challenges head on. Surround yourself with the right people, the right tasks, and the right energy and we will be far more productive. BEST MOMENTS 'If you're anything like me then the last few years have made you feel like a prisoner in your own home' 'It's not about learning something new. It's about implementing what we already know' 'If it's been on your to-do list for more than two weeks, just ditch it!'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Building A Bigger Table Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/building-a-bigger-table    For your Wheel Of Life go to shaa.com/wheeloflife MEET YOUR HOST Hi, I'm Shaa.

Laura Berman Fortgang is an author, speaker, and career coach. She has appeared on TED, Fortune, Fast Company, The New York Times, CNN, and Oprah Winfrey, and was one of the original founders of the International Coach Federation. Laura joins Shaa to talk about her incredible coaching career across the past 27 years, the ingredients needed to be a life-changing coach, and the true meaning of reinvention and evolution. KEY TAKEAWAYS Life is like a magnet. Every single piece of rust and decay in your life is preventing the good stuff from being attracted to you Taking control of our destiny is all about choosing ourselves instead of waiting for others to choose us. We have the power to rise up, so why wait for someone else to give us the green light? The world today is constantly evolving, and can sometimes appear daunting, but with the advancing technology has come more opportunity for reinvention. When we evolve and change, we are growing closer to the version of ourselves that has always been there. Evolving is about peeling away layers to reveal what has always been there. BEST MOMENTS 'What is the rust on my magnet that I need to get rid of in order to attract the good stuff in life?' 'I was an actor who became a coach and it changed my life' 'I don't want to wait for someone to choose me. I want to choose myself' 'Reinvention is about getting closer to who you really are as you evolve' VALUABLE RESOURCES Building A Bigger Table Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/building-a-bigger-table    Laura Berman Fortgang - https://laurabermanfortgang.com MEET YOUR HOST Hi, I'm Shaa.

In episode 57, Shaa give you some simple tips to start building a Small But Mighty Email List - and why social media might be our go to way of reaching people, but if you're not building your email list; you're leaving your business vulnerable and leaving money on the table. KEY TAKEAWAYS Social media matters, but we need to remember that we don't own these platforms, and that at any time we could have our access revoked. So it's wise to diversify our platforms and means of audience building. When people sign up for an email list, you have the opportunity of building a relationship with them. You see far higher levels of conversions to sales from an email list than any form of social media.  Building a mighty list doesn't mean you need 50,000 people; far from it. Create engaging content, be you and be consistent! BEST MOMENTS   'Social media is rented ground. You do not own it' 'I don't want to be tied to social media all the time, but I do want to grow my audience' 'The only asset you have when growing your audience is your email list' VALUABLE RESOURCES Building A Bigger Table Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/building-a-bigger-table    To join Shaa's workshop on how to build a small but mighty list on Sunday, January 23rd at 20:00 GMT, register now at shaa.com/listworkshop MEET YOUR HOST Hi, I'm Shaa.

This week, Shaa is joined by Chris Ducker, who is world renowned for running epic Masterminds. He runs multiple businesses including a Virtual Staff Finder agency in the Philippines. They are both big believers in doing less to get more …  and yes, Shaa wrote aa book by that title too! In business and life, there is a value to be found in simplifying things so as to increase your time and earn more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many worked harder because they were in lockdown, but they have failed to find the cutoff switch ever since. We don't need to work harder these days - we just need to work smarter. Prioritisation is key when it comes to managing time. We must make sure that important tasks are given their place on our hierarchy of time, and that distractions and irrelevancies are kept to a minimum. Teams are the key to scaling successfully. Leveraging tasks to those we trust, and taking on the tasks in which we excel, ensures that all time is spent most effectively, allowing our impact to be far greater. When we find our unique offer, it is far more effective to look for ways to strengthen it, rather than trying to add more onto our offering. BEST MOMENTS 'It's about doing less to achieve more' 'If you don't have the team, you can't scale' 'We need to make sure our priorities stay our priorities' Simplify your life to amplify your results' VALUABLE RESOURCES Building A Bigger Table Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/building-a-bigger-table    Chris Ducker - https://chrisducker.com MEET YOUR HOST Hi, I'm Shaa.

This week, Shaa is joined by her ‘Pops' Sir Richard Needham who, as a Member Of Parliament from 1979 to 1997, served as Under-Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and as Minister of State for Trade.  They discuss his recent memoir and his countless escapades ... Richard and Shaa met many years ago when they were both working alongside Sir James Dyson and became lifelong friends. Their relationship is testament to both of their firm beliefs that every success in life comes from the importance we play on relationships. Despite the fact that they were born into entirely opposite ends of the social economic spectrum; they've forged a deep respect for each other. Richard discusses his outlook on life, the origins of his entrepreneurial spirit, and the life lessons he has learned during an incredible career as one of the UK's most influential businessmen and politicians.  KEY TAKEAWAYS In order to get the best out of the people in your business, you must put your trust in them and accept that they want responsibility. Money is a reward for what people do, but it shouldn't be used as an incentive. Incentives work far better if they make people feel like participants in the business. Politics is going through a dark moment now, where a lack of morals, ethics and reliability seem to be the norm. Politicians seem to think that the people work for them, when the reality is quite the opposite.  Don't judge people by their past BEST MOMENTS  'Everything you say I endorse thoroughly' 'If you want to get the best out of everybody then you've got to trust them' ''It feels like we've gone back to the 18th century!'

So many of us make New Year's resolutions with good intentions, but we very rarely keep to them, which can be disheartening and counter productive. Instead of helping you forge ahead, they just make you feel worse about yourself! In this episode, Shaa breaks down a better way of making New Years commitments - stacking the odds in your favour in order to actually achieve your goals in 2022... KEY TAKEAWAYS By the first week of February, over 80% of people have forsaken their New Year's resolutions, and by the end of March, almost all have been forgotten entirely. Instead of trying to take on too many things at once, why not set a single goal for each area of our lives, which makes things far more manageable. We need to make a commitment to 1-3 things that we want above all other things. Stretch goals are the best goals - make them just beyond your reach, but not so far you have no hope of ever reaching them. Accountability keeps us disciplined. Make sure you track your goals and surround yourself with people who will help you keep on track. Come check out https://www.shaa.com/the-6-figure-club-join-today/  to get Shaa's help keeping you on track!    BEST MOMENTS 'We try to take too much on' 'These goals have to be meaningful' 'What you measure matters and what matters gets measured' VALUABLE RESOURCES Building A Bigger Table Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/building-a-bigger-table   MEET YOUR HOST Hi, I'm Shaa.

Sometimes life seems to come at you all at once, but as Shaa shared in this week's episode, we can learn from the good and the bad. are no such things as failure. What  doesn't kill you can only make you stronger. KEY TAKEAWAYS Even when times get tough, there are always moments of joy, beauty and opportunities for gratitude. We need to find those diamonds and keep focused on them, not just the challenging times. We should never make assumptions about other people. Lives lived behind closed doors might not be as rosy as you believe. Surrounding ourselves with strong, positive people empowers us when times get tough. When people fall, the quickest way to get up is by taking the hand of another.  BEST MOMENTS ‘Press pause, take a step back and truly show up for them' ‘There are moments. There are people. Who are diamonds, who make everything worthwhile'.

Emma Campbell is an author, columnist, speaker and long term cancer survivor with a large and highly engaged social media following using the handle @limitless_em Emma joins Shaa to talk about her remarkable journey through adversity, and her fortified belief that we are all limitless, and despite the trials that life may throw at us, resilience will see us through … KEY TAKEAWAYS Our reaction to trauma can often affect us far more deeply than we think. The effects of Post Traumatic Growth can be similar to PTSD and can lead to devastating dissociative aftershocks. One of the subsequent effects of post-traumatic growth is to suddenly become far more active - looking for things to constantly engage the mind and body, for fear of stopping. The feeling of inadequacy can compound the more we take on. We can feel as though we are spread so thin that we let everyone down.

In this weeks episode, Shaa talks about how her Facebook and Instagram accounts got hacked ... and then deleted - and the ongoing saga she's having to recover them. As of this episode, there's been no resolution. It's the type of thing we feel happens to other people ... until it happens to us. Shaa shares the dangers that many of us face when building our businesses on rented ground - you don't own these platforms, you're just borrowing them.  It's been a sharp lesson that these platforms are more Faceless than Facebook. No accountability, no customer service, no response. A wake up call for us all. KEY TAKEAWAYS Two factor authentication is no guarantee of safety. Despite having this supposedly strong security measure enabled, access was still gained by hackers. Despite what we may believe, we do not own our social media presence. It can be taken away. This becomes unfortunately clear when unauthorised access occurs. This experience has demonstrated that while social media can be useful in terms of reaching your audience, it should never be our only avenue of earning money. BEST MOMENTS 'I had apparently contravened their guidelines and my account had been removed' 'Forewarned is forearmed' 'They should be called Faceless rather than Facebook' VALUABLE RESOURCES Building A Bigger Table Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/building-a-bigger-table   MEET YOUR HOST Hi, I'm Shaa.

We all work hard for our money, but is our money working hard for us? In this week's show, Shaa is joined by Vix Munro, an entrepreneur, wealth coach, optimist and crypto enthusiast, to discuss the crucial topic of investing and how to make sure you're getting the best returns on the money you've earned. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's vital for people to be investing in something. Inflation is the highest it's been for ten years, and if your moneyis simply sitting in a bank account, it will literally do nothing. Your return on your investment must be higher than the rate of inflation. This means you'll be offsetting the effects of inflation as well as growing your money. The major players in the crypto market are in this for the long run. However, guidance is advised as there is a surfeit of information that leads people down the wrong paths. Crypto is not a quick way to wealth, but it should be considered as part of a longer  term investment strategy. Markets ebb and flow so fluctuations are to be expected. But if we are in this for the long term, as we should be, the general trend is that you are very likely to see a good return. BEST MOMENTS 'Over time it is completely feasible to get a return of 8% to 10% on your investment' 'Fundamentally, we all need to become far more financially literate' 'Theory is one thing, but practice is entirely different' 'Do not be blindsided by promises of overnight gajillionaire status' VALUABLE RESOURCES Building A Bigger Table Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/building-a-bigger-table   ABOUT THE GUEST Vix Munro is an entrepreneur, author, money enthusiast & eternal optimist.

Many strive to grow their financial fortunes in the belief that money comes through wealth. But as Shaa discusses in this week's episode, there may be other forms of wealth that can provide far greater returns when it comes to happiness. KEY TAKEAWAYS Although wealth or income rose per person between 1947 and 1970, the average happiness reported did not rise, no matter how much more they earned. Money is an infinite resource. We can always make more if we put our minds to it. Time, however, is finite. We can never get a moment back, and so each one we spend is far more valuable than money could ever be. There are some things that are far more important than money. Once we have those needs are met, our increase in happiness diminishes. This is the law of diminishing returns. BEST MOMENTS 'Wealth is not about having a lot of money. It's about having a lot of options' 'I want you to really start to think about where you're investing your time' 'From here on out, my focus is being more time rich' VALUABLE RESOURCES Building A Bigger Table Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/building-a-bigger-table   MEET YOUR HOST Hi, I'm Shaa.

Everyone is guilty of playing small from time to time, which holds us back from achieving the things we could be achieving. In this week's episode, Shaa talks about how fulfilment comes from stepping outside of our comfort zone and aiming for more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Knowing that you were made for more emanates from deep within our souls. It's the feeling we get when we realise that our true purpose is going unrealised. When we play small in life, and in business, we serve no one. The deeds we accomplish should always illuminate the way for others. We play small by holding ourselves back for self-sabotaging reasons. It's a form of procrastination in which we fail to climb higher through self-limiting beliefs. BEST MOMENTS 'You know you're made for more, but you're playing small' 'Your light should shine the way for me' 'You just know there's something outside of your reach. You can't quite touch it, but you know that this isn't it' VALUABLE RESOURCES Building A Bigger Table Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/building-a-bigger-table   MEET YOUR HOST Hi, I'm Shaa.

In a highly self-reflective episode, Shaa talks about how to break down the mind-set monsters, how to tackle them head on, and why personal growth is about recognising the moments in which we hold ourselves back from achieving more. KEY TAKEAWAYS We can't place all the blame on others when we do not grow. Breaking down the mind-set monsters is about recognising that we hold ourselves back. The number one challenge we have when facing our upper limits is our own mind-set. The mind-set monsters are the triggers that place us into a state of mind that we're sometimes not conscious of, and which hold us back. Our businesses grow and develop when we spend time developing ourselves. Growth is about holding ourselves accountable, but also about recognising the wins when they take place. We are often scared to downsize and aim for a more niche market for fear of not serving everyone, and thereby lose clients and income. Some of this might be true in the short term, but focussing on what we are passionate about is the only way to truly grow your business. BEST MOMENTS 'You can't have business development without personal development' 'I need to get out of my own damn way' 'Doubling down on who you serve is the only way to grow your business' VALUABLE RESOURCES Building A Bigger Table Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/building-a-bigger-table   MEET YOUR HOST Hi, I'm Shaa.

When it comes to time for guidance in life or business, we are often advised to seek the help of someone who's walked the path before us. But which guiding hand is right for us? In this episode, Shaa breaks down the differences between coaches, mentors and teachers, so as to help you make an informed decision about the guiding hand to suit you. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is important to distinguish between the different types of guidance, as all are really quite different. Without knowing what each terms means, we cannot obtain the correct guidance. Being a mentor is about having the experience in a certain area, that may prove useful to someone also embarking up that journey, without the structures of learning apparatus. A coach doesn't have to have industry experience or even knowledge relevant to your sector. Coaches are there to help their client find their path. Depending on what stage you are at in your business, and depending on the challenges ahead of you, you may need a mentor, teacher, coach or any combination of the three. BEST MOMENTS 'I needed someone to help me go faster' 'It is just not possible to be all of them at the same time' 'My goal is to help people get to where they need to get to in their businesses and their lives - faster!'

Shaa talks to visionary, coach, catalyst, entrepreneur and activist, Joanna Martin, about her incredible achievements in business and the lessons learned along the way, as well as the ways in which you can grow your business without feeling the heavy weight of overwhelm, and how to do so sustainably! KEY TAKEAWAYS Having more women in positions of leadership, having parity of representation in every business space, is the key to unlocking social progression in the world. In the past two years, women's representation has shrunk. The focus has been upon building back business, instead of providing representation, when in reality, the focus should be on building back business with women at the forefront. Juggling successfully begins with having less balls in the air. Be as rigorous as possible about setting priorities, with personal health and needs up front. Look for what's essential, and structure accordingly. Removing yourself from the home so as to work can be beneficial, as everything in the home communicates the jobs that must be done - the ones left unfinished. Removing ourselves, temporarily, can provide us with the focus we need to get business tasks completed. BEST MOMENTS 'We can't pretend like we could two years ago, that it's going to be alright, because in a lot of places it isn't' 'We need to increase the impact of women in the world without burning out' 'The world needs women to step up more' 'You can have it all. You just can't have it all at the same time' VALUABLE RESOURCES Building A Bigger Table Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/building-a-bigger-table   Joanna Martin - https://joannamartin.com MEET YOUR HOST Hi, I'm Shaa.

In this highly personal episode, Shaa shares a valuable series of life and business lessons that she hopes will inspire you to get prepared to get ahead, so that when life throws you curveballs you can stop, press pause, and catch them.   KEY TAKEAWAYS No one is free from challenge. Even at the top tiers of business and success, there will always be challenges to overcome. Never feel as though you are the only one. Despite the dark and negative influences in life, there are always things we must be grateful for. We must show gratitude for every positive. A big part of creating a business that can work without you is building a monthly recurring revenue stream that acts as your lifeblood. Make sure your finances are in order today. The best time to make sure we are better able to survive financially is right now. BEST MOMENTS 'If I was the Queen, I would describe this year as my annus horribilis' 'None of us are exempt from curveballs' 'We see those big headlines in other people's lives and we want to be there, too' 'The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago.

Shaa talks to Calum Simpson, an Empowered alumni. They discuss his personal journey, which has seen him overcome both physical and health challenges. How these have impacted him, and why resilience is such an essential factor in all areas of life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Just because others try to pigeonhole you, or think you incapable of achieving things, it should never limit your potential. When we persevere at something for a long time, we lose sight of the incremental progress we are making. Reflection is essential to recognise the breadth of our journey. Having a plan, a focus, a goal, is crucial in instilling a sense of resilience. If we face setbacks, we should focus on this future goal and remember our purpose in endeavour. Always embrace self-control, even in the moments where we feel ourselves losing grip on our emotions. In the end, the greatest damage we do by losing control is to ourselves. BEST MOMENTS 'Mental health is something we should talk about every day, not just once a year' 'If you really want something, you do anything you want' 'Quick fixes aren't going to get you anywhere' 'Don't ever say you can't do something unless you've tried it' VALUABLE RESOURCES Building A Bigger Table Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/building-a-bigger-table Calum SImpson Facebook - www.facebook.com/cscoachingservices Calum Simpson Instagram – www.instagram.com/exerciseandmentalhealthcoach MEET YOUR HOST Hi, I'm Shaa.

Shaa talks to Casey Zeman, Founder of Easy Webinar who has truly embraced the power of webinars, using technology and software to better connect with audiences around the world. In doing so, he has helped others to achieve a similarly deep connection with their own audiences.  Casey discusses the importance of social change, how choosing to do better is a choice. And ways in which we can affect social change and use entrepreneurship for the benefit of all, and why we can more easily create a greater impact when we increase our income. KEY TAKEAWAYS  To create social mobility, then we must facilitate and empower others to create businesses and create their own income. When we create an income for ourselves, we raise the level of impact that we can make. From there it is about choice - where to invest time, money and experience in order to help others grow. When we assimilate with others, we cannot expect them to simply assume our ways of thinking and living. Cultural exchange is about the free-flow of influences and ideas. We should never shut ourselves off when it comes to growth. We have the opportunities to learn and develop each day, and should always take advantage of that. With growth comes strength. BEST MOMENTS  'It's much harder to create an impact when you have no income' 'By pulling people in, we're going to have a longer term impact' ‘being good is a choice you make every single day' VALUABLE RESOURCES Building A Bigger Table Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/building-a-bigger-table  MEET YOUR HOST Hi, I'm Shaa.

Episode 41 - Discover your Passion and Purpose with Amy McLaren Welcome to Building a Bigger Table The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income.    In This Episode: Welcome to episode 41 of the Building a Bigger Table Podcast where I'm joined by my close friend, entrepreneur, charity founder, Amy McLaren. Now you can add ‘author' to that list, because Amy's just released her book, ‘Passion to Purpose'. On this episode of the Building a Bigger Table podcast, we unpack what Amy's new book is all about and the impact it can have on your personal fulfilment. Because so many people don't understand the difference between their ‘passion' and their ‘purpose', let alone how to get clarity on what they are. We also touch on how self doubt can get in the way of us fulfilling our purpose, and how you can overcome that and the limitations others project on you to discover your true passion and achieve your purpose.  Plus we talk about Amy's charity, Village Impact. Amy started Village Impact 10 years ago as a way of providing access to community-led education, leadership, and economic opportunities for thousands of children and youth in rural Kenya. They're now building their 15th school in Kenya!! So if you're feeling unsure about your direction, or want to understand how to discover your passion and purpose, this episode's for you. Key Takeaways: Your passion and your purpose are completely different things. Understanding your purpose helps you achieve personal fulfilment and bring more joy into your life! Your purpose can change as you move through life. You don't need to try and change the world in a day. Even the smallest of actions compound over time.   Quotes: “When you're truly passionate about something and you're living there, you really are truly the best version of yourself.” “If you're passionate about what you're doing, it's not going to last.” “Passion is this engagement with what you love. It's something that you absolutely could do every day. It's like when you go to a dinner party and all you want to do is talk about it”   Meet Your Host: Hi, I'm Shaa.

Episode 40 - How to Use Business to Inspire the Next Generation with Cheryl Dodd Welcome to Building a Bigger Table The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income.    In This Episode:   Welcome to episode 40 of the Building a Bigger Table Podcast, where I'm joined by the lovely Cheryl Dodd. Cheryl has a dance school, a gymnastics club and has been in business for 22 years, but she's here to talk about her most recent passion project BizKidz which inspires children to set up their own businesses.   I wanted to create this episode for all of the entrepreneurial, business-minded parents out there, because I think secretly, we all want our children to follow in our footsteps and become their own bosses. Whether they end up going down that road or not, Cheryl believes there are a ton of benefits in encouraging them to start a business in their childhood - ones that the traditional education system can't provide.   In this episode, she tells us how BizKidz got started after her 11 year old daughter Izy decided to set up a slime shop, and then takes us through exactly what she teaches inside the BizKidz academy course.   We also cover how you can inspire your children (or nieces, nephews … whoever!) and empower them to start making their own choices and doing things their way. If you have kids in your life, you're going to love this episode! Key Takeaways: It's about making your own choices   Fills gaps of traditional curriculum    Increases confidence and self belief   Let them drive it Quotes:   “What I've noticed on this entrepreneurial journey is that she is suddenly able to steer her future in just the way you're describing Shaa and and feel that sense of self worth.”   “I do get the privilege of watching them go from being quite fearful or thinking that they can't do something to believing in themselves and then doing it and that's just amazing.”   “She could see other people that were doing the thing that she wanted to do … so she had a really clear vision of having a warehouse with all of these slimes and creating her content, and the kind of content she wanted to create so she's created her vision in her mind.”     Meet Your Host: Hi, I'm Shaa. I've been called a serial entrepreneur … but I've never been one for labels!

Episode 39 - Busting The Overnight Success Myth with Maria Hatzistefanis Welcome to Building a Bigger Table The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income.    In This Episode:   Welcome to episode 39 of the Building a Bigger Table. I have a fantastic guest for you in the form of Maria Hatzistefanis a.k.a. Mrs Rodial. She is the owner/founder of Rodial and Nip+Fab, author of How to Be an Overnight Success, and has another book on the way titled How to Live Your Best Life.   I was first introduced to Maria over on Clubhouse and was drawn to her because of the many similarities in our stories, particularly to do with how hard we've worked to get to where we are today. I really believe that right now many people aren't sharing the reality of what it's like to run a business - and I think if more people were more honest, it would help others be inspired to keep going when the going gets tough.   In this episode, Maria tells us how her career got started and how being fired from her job in finance inspired her to start her own business. She lets us in on all of the obstacles she's experienced along the way - including almost having to declare bankruptcy 3 years ago. Today, that business has a turnover of £25m, stocked in 3000 stores worldwide, and has been endorsed by celebrities such as Kylie Jenner … so if anyone knows about the extreme ups and downs of being a business owner, it's Maria.   We also talk about when you should trust your gut over your team, when (and when not!) to take risks, the importance of creating positive connections with others, and why pursuing success at all costs is a recipe for failure. Maria is a big believer that things happen at the right time, and that a delay doesn't have to equal a denial. If you're looking for motivation to keep going in your entrepreneurial journey, you're in for a treat with this one! Key Takeaways: Don't wait for permission   People like to do business with people they like   Sanity metrics over vanity metrics   Don't let ego get in the way Quotes: “There wasn't a plan. I didn't know what I was doing, I was just cruising through life and jobs and seeing where one thing would take me, and you know just exploring everything that was available to me.” “It wasn't even about the money at the beginning [when we weren't] able to secure funding and I had to find a way to finance myself. It was also the fact I didn't get validation for my idea because getting that funding means that someone believes in you, to the point that. They're investing in your business.” “I have changed a lot as a business owner and as a leader. I used to micromanage everything at the beginning and get stressed about every single detail and that wasn't good for me or my team. And over the years I've mellowed down a lot and I'm more about leading the vision and letting everyone run their work, their department, their side of the business, and then we all get together.”     Meet Your Host: Hi, I'm Shaa.

Episode 38 - How to Generate More Leads Using Quizzes with Ryan Levesque Welcome to Building a Bigger Table The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income.    In This Episode:   Welcome to episode 38 where I'm joined by Ryan Levesque who I've invited to come and speak about quizzes. In my opinion, quizzes are the easiest, cheapest, and most fun way to build your audience - so if you're not using them yet, I highly recommend you start now.   Whether you're just starting out, or if you've been going for a couple of years and have hit a plateau, quizzes are the number one way for you to get yourself and your business seen by more people. And not only that, they will get you seen by the right people - the ones who are ready, able and willing to buy from you.   In this episode Ryan takes us through his background and why he has come to be obsessed with all things quiz. He reveals the 3 biggest benefits of them, the 2 different purposes they serve, as well as the optimum number of questions your quiz should have.   We also share details of a super useful workshop that you don't want to miss! If you're not currently serving and selling to your ideal clients through quizzes, then this episode is for you! Key Takeaways: A cheap way to get leads   Transferable across industries   High conversion rate   Can customise content for leads Quotes:   “The psychology of quiz funnels really taps into the psychology of what we call self discovery. Which is you're helping people identify and learn something about themselves.” “See how you're able to really demonstrate your empathy and understanding of that person's situation, how you're demonstrating your desire to serve before you sell and how it changes the sales dynamic completely.” “We have access to 200 million data points. We've had 12,000 quizzes. Built on our platform. And with that information, we know a tremendous amount about what works and what doesn't work and how to separate successful quizzes from unsuccessful quizzes.”     Meet Your Host: Hi, I'm Shaa.

Episode 37 - Why Launching a Podcast is Easier Than You Think with Rob Moore Welcome to Building a Bigger Table The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income.    In This Episode:   In episode 37 of the Building a Bigger table Podcast, I'm joined by none other than Rob Moore. He's an entrepreneur, speaker, author, and hosts 2 podcasts, The Disruptive Entrepreneur and Money. He's here to prove to you that launching your own podcast is SO much simpler than you think.   The truth is, I wouldn't have launched this podcast if it wasn't for Rob. It's something I'd thought about doing for many years, but I had reservations as like most people do. In this episode Rob unpacks the 3 most common objections and how we can overcome them.   According to Rob, we are living in the age of the audio influencer. You may believe that video is where it's at, but that market is far more saturated than podcasts, so if you want to get in on the action, now is the perfect time! What's more, we cover how quickly you can realistically get started, how you can repurpose the content, how it's a great tool for networking, and how you can monetise it through sponsorships.   Finally, Rob shares details of an incredible free teaching where he'll be showing you how to build a mini media empire with your podcast at the heart of it. If you've been dreaming of launching your own podcast, this episode will help you turn it into a reality! Key Takeaways: Audio influencing is huge The most affluent fans come from podcasts You can monetise pre launch Get it done in days   Quotes:   “There's only 250,000 active podcasts. There's tens of millions of active YouTube channels and Facebook pages. So it's actually a really growing media.” “We're actually reassigning a lot of our Facebook ad money into advertising on people's podcasts, because I think that we're dealing with trying to de-risk against, you know, Facebook, YouTube, Google dependency.” “This'll take us less than 30 minutes. And if we wanted to, we could have done a Facebook live at the same time. And we're also recording the video, which means we could put this out on video channels. So actually 30 minutes could be repurposed into five pieces of content or more. So bullshit you haven't got time to do 30 minutes. People scroll for more than 30 minutes every day on social.”   Meet Your Host: Hi, I'm Shaa. I've been called a serial entrepreneur … but I've never been one for labels!

At age 96, she's here to give us some life lessons that we can use in business and beyond.   I think this is exactly what we all need right now, having just gone through the craziest year of our lifetimes - and my nan's wisdom really helps put things into perspective. She's lived through a World War, and in this episode we chat about what that was like - in particular as a woman.   We talk about how technology has advanced, and how our diets have changed, as well as the things we value. Of course - there are benefits to both sides … but this really inspires us to take stock and be grateful for what we have.   She gives us her advice for a life well-lived, reveals exactly what it's like to be my nan, and we end with a game of This or That. If you're after some uplifting, wholesome content to inspire and motivate you, you'll find it right here! Key Takeaways: The people that matter don't mind Family is everything Don't have regrets Make the best of everything Quotes:   “I think we've got it so easy now with all this technology, you can't go wrong.”   “You were pushed to the back, the women were. The men would expect you to have the meal on the table and you didn't have any argument about it. You had to have it there and they'd come home from work at lunchtime to have their meal too.”   “The people that matter don't mind and the people that mind don't matter.”   Meet Your Host: Hi, I'm Shaa.

We're chatting about a super simple way you can drive more revenue into your business.   Rosie is going to introduce us to her company, On Brand Planners, and talk us through how she can help us make some additional income. Now, as you know, I don't really agree with the phrase ‘passive income' because I think no matter what, there is always work to be done upfront. However, what Rosie's offering today can really be as simple as you coming up with the concept, and she'll take care of everything else!   She's actually the woman behind my 6 Figure Club Planners that I gift to my members, and has worked with my friend Phil Graham on using planners to drive leads to his business, while at the same time making him some extra cash.    In this episode, we're sharing the benefits of adding journals, planners or diaries to your business, the different ways in which you can do it, and exactly how to get started. Plus, I'll be revealing the one thing I wish I'd done differently, so you don't make the same mistake. Let's jump in! Key Takeaways: Get ahead of the game It's a way to engage with your audience   Improves client retention It's a physical Pop Up Product Quotes: “It's like a physical pop up product instead of a digital pop-up product. So he's got the planner on the front end which drives traffic and ads to the planner, and then on the backend of that purchase he upsells his programs.”   “In fact, I've been thinking of creating an Empowered planner and using an Empowered planner as my lead gen that then becomes a lead gen for the next cohort of our Empowered students. So we could start building up that list before Empowered even launches.”   “This doesn't have to be anymore complicated than you - the person listening - coming up with the concept of what you want this planner journal to look like and do, getting it created and then having someone like Rosie actually ship it out for you.”     Meet Your Host: Hi, I'm Shaa. I've been called a serial entrepreneur … but I've never been one for labels! I've done SO many things in my career, including starting and scaling multiple 7 figure businesses, and am grateful for being recognised with some lovely awards - most proudly, an MBE from The Queen “for Services to Business and Entrepreneurship”. I've been featured in major publications for my efforts (named one of the UK's Top 20 Most Influential Entrepreneurs by The Sunday Times and one of the ‘Most Influential Women in the UK" by the Institute of Directors), and have written 4 straight-talking, bestselling books; Stop Talking, Start Doing; Stop Talking, Start Doing Action Book, Do Less, Get More; and most recently, How To Fix Your Sh*t.   Where To Find Shaa: Website - https://www.shaa.com/ Facebook - https://en-gb.facebook.com/shaawasmund/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/shaawasmund/ Clubhouse - @Shaa Rosie - https://onbrandplanners.com/   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 34 - The Hard Times in Business Welcome to Building a Bigger Table The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income.    In This Episode:   Welcome to episode 34 of the Building a Bigger Table podcast where I'm talking about the hard times in business. This is off the back of a post I saw by the lovely Hannah Rose Cluley ... I loved it so much that it inspired me to dedicate an episode to it. The truth is, almost all of us have more than our fair share of hard times, but not all of us share them or talk about them. And I actually think that's doing people a disservice because we're painting a warped view of the reality of our business.  I've hit 10k months, 100k months, 500k months, but I've also had some losses too. I'm not just talking about finances here either, I'm spilling details of how I ended up in court early on in my career, how I've been backstabbed after making the wrong hires, and how I've had high hopes for launches that were epic fails. I'm not holding back … I'm sharing everything with the hope that these stories will make your hard times easier to bear, and help you understand that these things happen to everyone. Let's face it … in entrepreneurship, there are dark days, but there are also wonderful days. And trust me, there have been times when I have woken up in a morning and asked myself if I really want to continue doing this… but the answer is always YES! So let's start being open about the highs and the lows, let's own our mistakes, and let's lighten the load for everyone else on the same journey as us, afterall, we're all in this together. Key Takeaways: Right products, right time, right audience Luck is where prep meets opportunity The good far outweighs the bad Hard times happen   Quotes: “I have run online workshops or webinars with thousands of people on them. I've also run them with a handful of people on them when I was expecting hundreds instead... not everything I do works, not everything anyone does works.” “It's much better to lose 10k than it is to lose 100k… so if you're going to have to learn a lesson, learn at the beginning.” “There are many, many, many times that I wake up and I think, ‘can I even be bothered anymore?', especially, I've got to be honest with this online world. Sometimes this online world is just so toxic.[...] I've never found that in the offline world, I remember in the offline world, all the female founders used to support each other, we used to cheer each other on.”     Meet Your Host: Hi, I'm Shaa.
