Business Mastermind Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

On this episode of The Business Mastermind Podcast, Gavin is joined by Kris Ward, the author of Win The Hour Win The Day which is packed with practical steps that cuts through the noise that you hear about so many different productivity and time management strategies and training to the stuff that works in a really simply and accessible way. More importantly, you'll be able to take away tips, tools and strategies from Kris that will help you improve your productivity  and help you win the hour, win the day.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• So many people think productivity is about being organised and is a constant race against time – that certainly used to be my answer to everything, to go faster and harder. The transition happened when it was pointed out to me that I was starting to lose some of my charm due to lack of sleep. I went from 16 hours a day to 6, which didn't happen overnight, but I was lucky that I had done that because my husband got diagnosed with cancer and I had to get pulled away from the business for about 2 years. When I returned after his passing my existing clients had no idea that I'd been absent. Then I started getting asked by people how to manage their productivity.
• It was shocking to me how much I was working against myself, it was shocking that my efficiency, my income, my joy for the job, my productivity all went up. When I think of productivity, I don't mean getting more done, I mean getting the next thing out: writing a book; starting a podcast; whatever the next thing is for you.
• Simply hiring someone to transcribe my meeting notes, my first hire years ago, was like taking a pebble out of my shoe, it relieved pain throughout my whole body. The burden it took off me was immense, and on the weeks I was using I was paying her $12, on the weeks I didn't use her I didn't pay her, all of a sudden I'm not misquoting people, getting stressed and staying later and later.
• SOPs (standard operating procedures) aren't usually written by the end user, they're used to cover reliability and they're static in nature. My Super Tool Kits are breathing documents and you can always improve them. It takes anything you do more than once systematised so you can move on and create the next thing. It means you can get stuff done quickly without having to make decisions which fatigues the brain.
• A to do list is an excellent tool if you just want to stress yourself out, it creates all sorts of anxiety and open loops in the brain. What you should do is use your calendar like a time bank account where the work is measured out and prioritised. Work backwards, like you do in your personal life. I'm Canadian, so my kids play hockey: You think about the time you need to be at the rink (2pm), what time do you need to leave – adding in time for bad weather, feeding the kids first… all of a sudden you're starting off at noon, meaning you've got to start getting organised at 11am. 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Your business is there to support your life, not consume it. You didn't start a business just to run a business.'

‘They say Eskimos have 40 words for snow. I could have easily given you 40 different symptoms or layers of being exhausted.'

‘All the best inventions in the history of mankind come from when you're in rest or play. That's how the brain works.'

‘We all agree McDonalds does not make great hamburgers, but it's the consistency that made them billionaires.'

‘70% of small business owners and entrepreneurs expect their business to provide for them in some capacity in retirement and 2% successfully do that, because they don't have the infrastructure.'

On this episode of The Business Mastermind Podcast, Gavin is joined by Robin Waite, the founder of Fearless Business Coaching, to talk about how to avoid under-pricing/under-selling yourself.  How to double business revenue in 3-6 months and why charging by the hour is unethical.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Fearless isn't about being reckless. Fearless is about fearing the thing in business ever so slightly less that would ordinarily hold you back. Things like doing a 60 second pitch to a room full of strangers at a network meeting. Some people are terrified of doing that, but if you don't do it no one's ever going to know anything about you, and you won't be able to grow your business and sell stuff.
• Most business owners will only ever put their prices up once a year or two years, and even then just by 5-10%. They have a belief that if they put their prices up clients will leave. Actually that's not a bad thing. There are two different types of clients: your existing clients who will be anchored to a specific price point and are more price-sensitive, but you've also got prospective clients who haven't been exposed to your prices yet so aren't anchored, there's no tension, you can pitch whatever you want to them and if they feel that's a good value for money they'll go ahead.
• The money mindset that's been drilled into us by our parents between the age of 3-7 can be quite negative. The education system needs to talk about money and love more. These are two big questions in life: how do I find a partner to be with and how do I make more money? If you have a negative money mindset we seek evidence to back this up in our businesses. If you're always looking back at the past, you're always going to be looking at the blueprint that already exists. In order to change that you've got to look to the future; you can have abundance, you can charge more, you can have cash flowing through your business and you can create the opportunities that you want. This is something you can change in 30 days, maybe less.
• Too many business owners want to keep control over absolutely everything. But why would you hire someone just to look over their shoulder the whole time, then two people are doing the same job. It's pointless. Perhaps implement SOPs (standard operating procedures) and review them every month or two to make sure they work. I'll take family fit first, skills afterwards. They have to get on with the crew first, we can train them afterwards.
• In business there are only two things that can go wrong: Either you look a bit stupid, or you lose some money. That's it – unless you do something grossly negligent or nefarious. You can always come back from looking stupid and losing money.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We should try and bring in some of our core values into our business, it's much more authentic.'

‘The core belief you have to have is “I'm worth it”.'

‘Focus on your goals (how much you want to earn) and working backwards (what do you offer) is a good way of working out if you're charging your clients enough.'

‘Record all your sales calls and meetings (with the other person's permission) and listen back to them to see if you were communicating clearly and listening properly. Or do sales roleplay to increase your confidence.'

‘Delegate responsibly, don't delegate responsibility.'

On the first episode of season two of The Business Mastermind Podcast, Gavin is joined by Melanie Lee to discuss how business owners and leadership team members who are jaded and lacking morale thanks to the effects and pressures of the pandemic. They discuss the psychology of self and the psychology of others to get the both out of you and your teams.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There's a lot of emphasis on mindset and getting the best out of yourself, goal setting and psychological concepts that I can relate to and understand, but what used to frustrate me sometimes in some of these discussions was the missing piece about where really good, skilled psychological thinking can come in. We model how the brain actually works alongside what we know about relationships, linking and integrating the mind and the body. That's our passion.
• We are fundamentally social beings, the evolution of getting to the thinking brain is a higher evolved process, so when we're in situations of threat that's going to activate parts of our brain that drive us to primal behaviours. Who hasn't been in this state in the past 18 months? We can utilise neuroscience knowledge of how our brain works to explain our behaviours and give us choices rather than jumping straight to strategy – missing the process.
• There are three steps to assessing people who have been through traumatic events 1) Regulate, 2) Relate 3) Reason. These are based on the way the brain is structured. Most people intuitively just straight to reason to problem solve. 
• The right and the left brain are disconnected during traumatic experiences which is why we don't have words for certain experiences, but we can be triggered into remembering exactly how it feels. That's how we feel we're going crazy because we sense something, but we know logically in the moment there's nothing to be scared of.
• Business owners might be sensitive to moments of potential failure, or criticism, or not meeting an expectation that you'd set yourself and feeling you're coming below par. These feelings don't come out of nowhere, they have an historical route and it can be fascinating to get some coaching to work out what your relationship patterns are. Then you have choices, you can see it coming and choose your response.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Process means the how and the why of what we do rather than the what we say.'

‘Most of the finish is in the preparation.'

‘What is maintaining this problem?'

‘We think we know ourselves, but a lot of the time we're acting out of automatic response. If business owners can be responsive and not reactive it makes such a difference.'

‘Our body is wise, it remembers things.'

Jeff Chastain talks about the Entrepreneur Operating System (EOS), why your business needs Vision, Traction and Health and why these are ever more important right now!

Sign Up Here: https://bit.ly/biz-pod

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Without the foundations in place, any new measures will only seek to amplify issues that have perhaps gone unnoticed.
• Sometimes it's not about looking for revolutionary ideas, but searching out there for the tried and proven methods of developing and improving.
• EOS is a very basic set of tools and processes that look at vision, traction and health. By focussing on these key areas, we dynamically energise our prospects and concentrate our thought.
• Bringing in an outside coach can add not only a new level of expertise and perspective but also an 'outside' accountability. 

BEST MOMENTS

'The tool by itself is not going to solve anything'

‘I don't have to reinvent the wheel'

‘I know where I can pull the levers. I know where I can change things'

‘It's little stuff, but it really impacts down the road'

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The world is built upon relationships, and the art of how we nurture and grow from each interaction. This is why social media has been so widely and rapidly adopted around the world. 
• Your show or content should always be about your audience, and not about you. It is up to you to find the tie that binds you to your audience.
• Creating content doesn't always come naturally. We can maximise our chances, though, by associating ourselves with platforms that are good at monetisation.
• If you're missing a skill, then make sure you surround yourself with people who can fill that gap for you. Producers, creators and writers are readily available and can help to build your brand in ways you can only imagine.

Tom joins the podcast today to discuss the power of online development, and why everyone should be setting aside four hours each day to engage in empowering thought.

Sign Up Here: https://bit.ly/biz-pod

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Partnerships are like a marriage. Be very careful when you enter into one as they're generally a long term prospect, and require constant work and attention.
• Selling is the art of “selling without selling”. In reality, we must endeavour to never appear to be a salesman. Online it's different in that we must enter into a relationship, understand the course to a solution, and provide it naturally.
• We all have a period in each day when we do our best work. We should embrace this time as our premium period, and adjust our workday accordingly.
• We are far too distracted these days. The key is to quieten the noise and align our focus, so as to drastically improve productivity.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I have 4 thinking hours per day where I do my best work'

'The main thing is don't look like a salesman!'

‘Figure out how to build something once and sell it twice'

‘We need to put a lot more emphasis on focus'

Caspar Craven, author of 'Be More Human: Rethinking The Rules of High Performance Teamwork' shares how to re-engage employees after furlough, how to lead through uncertainty and why building trust is more important than ever.

Sign Up Here: https://bit.ly/biz-pod

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• One we have a clear vision and goal of where we wish to get as a team, you will find a way or you will make a way. If the purpose is strong enough, you'll get there.
• If you do not have trust, then you do not have a team. We engender trust by being consistent and keeping our promises. Ask open questions, listen, and then act upon what you hear.
• The more engaged and empowered our teams feel, the strong the dynamic, and the greater the level of input. This can lead to a wealth of ideas and inspiration from all sides.
• No two people are the same. We cannot assume that we will be able to pick up where we left off. The key to re-engaging is to understand that our teams are coming from very different directions.
• Set your narrative down clearly. Provide the goals and direction for your returning teams. With a clear goal ahead, we can then focus on enabling each member on a one-to-one basis.
  
  

BEST MOMENTS

‘Let's sit down with a blank piece of paper and rewrite the story of our lives'

'Trust is the first building block'

'The best ideas float to the surface. The best ideas win'

‘Focus on the Pole Star rather than being distracted by the lights of all the passing ships'

‘Listen to people. Really listen. And then listen some more'

Chris Lowe has run a national team for many years, and along the way has gained a wealth of experience in areas such as how to get the best from your team and how to better improve the customer experience for clients.

In this week's show, Chris shares the three things that you can do to bring your post-furloughed sales team back up to speed, and improve their performance!

Sign Up Here: https://bit.ly/biz-pod

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The first exercise must be to look at the team itself and attempt to ascertain what it is that sets the top performers apart from those who are less successful. What are the specific qualities and activities that elevate them?
• We must ensure that our KPIs and metrics are appropriate and valuable. If we chastise our top performers for not meeting box-ticking exercises, then we risk disheartening or even losing our core sales strength.
• The best way to make sure our sales team is “match ready” after this period of furlough, is to talk to them each individually. We need to find out how each and every person is feeling, and what concerns they may have.
• Sales targets upon return to work must be set conservatively. Don't stretch too far. There will be many opportunities, but we must be realistic in terms of prospects.

BEST MOMENTS

'You've got to follow proven models that will increase your chances of taking someone on a journey to a “yes” decision'

‘People sell what they love most'

‘Motivation and confidence links directly to performance'

‘You have to focus on it. You have to measure it. You have to coach it. You have to support it'

When it comes to business journeys, there are few more remarkable than that of George McGehrin, who from the rubble of the global financial crisis, built three incredible businesses that grew to 6, 7, and 8-figure revenues.

In this week's special, and very timely show, George joins Gavin to discuss his take on entrepreneurialism, how he scaled three businesses in rapid succession, and the lessons he learned from the last recession that have ensured that he is much better equipped to face any challenges in the future.

Sign Up Here: https://bit.ly/biz-pod

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Having worked through collapse in the past, George recognised that a cash buffer was essential. From 2009, 10% of all profits were saved in an emergency fund, meaning that he is now well-equipped to see his business through any future challenge.
• We should be cutting costs wherever possible and doing our best to increase profits. The 80/20 principle should be aimed for at all times in order to focus upon the areas in our business that are working for us.
• Know the value of your own time. Delegate the tasks you're not great at whenever you can, and don't spend your invaluable time on anything unless you know you can do it well. 
• Business is just a big mathematical problem. When you boil it down to its essence, then by solving the maths at the heart, we solve the business problem itself.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I did it their way, now let me try it my way'

‘You get to the point where you can't outsell your stupidity'

‘You need to know the math problem that you're solving'

'The beautiful thing about running a business is that you get paid literally to the penny what you're worth'

Gavin talks to Tristan Hartey, the managing director of Hartey Wealth Management, who explains why we need Lifetime Cash Planning, and why the assumption that your business will provide your retirement income may well be flawed.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Hartey Wealth Management has been founded upon the principles of offering each client a personalised experience, and has endeavoured to imbue its offerings with the culture and core values it has nurtured since its inception.
• Setting aside cash for retirement should always be begun as early in life as possible. The costs of meeting your commitments grow exponentially with each passing year, and the figures can be startling.
• Pensions are an easy way to provide future income through your business, as £40,000 can be drawn from the business itself, thereby reducing the amount of corporation tax you pay.
• When planning for the future, always consider that your outgoings will be markedly different. There will be many bills, such as mortgages, that will no longer exist. Therefore, our financial needs will be different.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Culture and standards are more important, particularly in the 21st century'

'The earlier you start, the easier it is'

‘Really you should be thinking about retirement as soon as you start work'

‘It's better to do something rather than nothing'
