042. WHY SMART GOALS ARE NOT ENOUGH

Saison 1 · Épisode 42

mercredi 12 juin 2024 • Durée 18:02

A very warm welcome, today we are looking at the power and significance of having clear business goals, and why it’s such a big deal for you and your business.

Imagine you're driving somewhere new without SatNav and there aren't any road signs for you to follow. You might head roughly in the right direction and with perseverance, eventually stumble upon where you need to get to, but you'll likely take plenty of wrong turns and waste a huge amount of time in the process.

Running a business without clear goals is very much like that. It's a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it’s a straightforward example.

Clear goals are the backbone of any successful business. They give you direction, keep you motivated, and ensure that everyone is working and heading in the same direction, which is essential and helps to keep your role fun and far easier day-to-day.

041. NICK JENKINS, FROM MOONPIG TO DRAGON (PART TWO)

Saison 1 · Épisode 41

mercredi 5 juin 2024 • Durée 48:11

In today’s episode, we continue our conversation with Nick Jenkins. If you missed last week's episode you can catch up HERE, where we discussed how Nick enabled Moonpig's extraordinary growth, his unique insights on customer service, building and trusting your team, and marketing.

In Part 2, Nick shares his thoughts on ways to help you overcome the discomfort of pitching by focusing on your passion and the problem your product solves. He shares common mistakes to avoid, and we explore the difference between stubbornness and tenacity, emphasising the importance of being open to feedback.

Nick also highlights the need to focus on your core business before diversifying and the value of simplicity in business communications. He talks about the power of organic growth and genuine customer referrals over gimmicky promotions, and hugely importantly, and my biggest takeaway, he shared his personal strategies for maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

My favourite part of the conversation and biggest takeaway was when Nick shared his personal strategies for maintaining a healthy work-life balance. His approach to scheduling activities outside of work and avoiding unnecessary commitments is inspiring and practical; I hope you find the conversation helpful too.

040. NICK JENKINS: FROM MOONPIG TO DRAGON (PART ONE)

Saison 1 · Épisode 40

mercredi 29 mai 2024 • Durée 49:36

In today’s episode, I’m thrilled to be joined by our first guest, Nick Jenkins. Nick is the founder of Moonpig.com and many of you will know him as a former dragon on the BBC series 'Dragon's Den’.

Through our conversation, Nick shares his journey from his early career in Moscow to becoming one of the UK’s most successful entrepreneurs. We discuss the insights that led to the creation of the revolutionary online retailer that transformed the greeting card industry with its unique personalised cards. There was so much to discuss that we split the conversation into two parts to keep each one bite size and actionable, and so as not to lose any of his insights. In Part 1, we look at Nick’s entrepreneurial beginnings and how Moonpig was born, the criteria he set for his business, and how he enabled its extraordinary growth.

We explore customer service, discussing how technology can help, but every brand definitely needs the founder’s personality and care, and how it can be a real opportunity to develop a truly positive relationship with your customers. We also talk about failures, hiring, building and trusting your team, and marketing. And finally, in this first Part, I ask Nick about any standout moments for him on 'Dragon's Den,' which he shares both happily and amusingly.

I’m excited to share our conversation with you in the audio above and show notes below.
