ADHD, Failure and How to Heal with Dr. Fiona Peters - Part 1 | Ep 35

Season 1 · Episode 35

Thursday, May 4, 2023 • Duration 48:12

Dr Fiona Peters is a UK based leading expert in Neurodiversity in the workplace and in her personal life, as well as an authority on the impact of the mixed-race classification in organisations and families.

She has ADHD and she was diagnosed in her early 50s. We sat down to talk about ADHD, failure and how to heal post-diagnosis.

Fiona has a mission to help support people in business with ADHD. Using her extensive experience and her personal experience of having ADHD we had a fascinating conversion about her journey to diagnosis and what impact that has had on her personal and professional life.

We touch on the experience of being diagnosed in an adulthood as children of the 70s and 80s and growing up in a world where little was understood about ADHD and neurodiversity.

It was a very deep, raw and honest conversation that I know will support those with ADHD or thinking they may have it.

This is part 1 of a two part episode.

You've just won a fantastic new client, you've worked incredibly hard to get them and you just want to get started but you haven't agreed any terms and conditions. You worry that asking them to sign will put them off. What do you do?

I wanted to understand how you can stop yourself from getting into legal disputes in your business. They can cause so much stress for business owners and entrepreneurs.

We covered:

What mistakes do businesses make when it comes to contracts.
Why protecting intellectual property (IP) is critical and how you can protect yours.
One key thing you want to make sure you do protect any IP your suppliers create.
What to do when someone isn't paying because they aren't happy with the work you have done.
What to do when things goes wrong and how to stop a dispute going to court.

I asked some key questions:

Are verbal contracts legally binding and what are the dangers?
Do you HAVE to get your terms and conditions signed?
Can you use boilerplate contracts or take other people's contracts and rehashing them for your own use?

How to Improve Your Fitness as an Entrepreneur | Ep 31

Season 1 · Episode 31

Thursday, April 6, 2023 • Duration 54:13

How can we, as entrepreneurs improve our fitness levels and do more exercise?

Fitness and exercise doesn't come naturally to everyone, unless you are fully committed or a personal trainer then you may find it a challenge to get out for a run or down the gym for a workout. This is even harder if you have dependants like kids or people you care for.

The challenges entrepreneurs and business owners face only makes it harder. Especially when you start out or you are going through a rough patch.

That said making exercise part of your routine is critical to support you in being successful in your business.

In this episode I explore the topic with personal trainer, fitness expert and entrepreneur Lynsey Treharne. She is deeply passionate about helping women get into the weight section of the gym but anyone can benefit from her passion, knowledge and experience.

How can we improve our fitness and wellbeing with the pressures of running a business?
Is there a link between success in business and having a success fitness regime?
How do you manage to fit exercise in when you have no two weeks that look the same?

Investors Need to Stop Behaving Like This | Ep 30

Thursday, March 23, 2023 • Duration 15:24

Why are business leaders still leading through fear and intimidation? Treating people with a lack of respect? Why does this seem to be more prevalent in the investor community?

We see it on TV and I see it happening in the business community, investors speaking to their potential investees like crap. In this episode I explore what's wrong with this attitude and why it needs to change.

This episode is useful for small businesses that are seeking investment from investors.

How Not to Scale A Business: Entrepreneur's Stories Alex Chisnall | Ep 29

Episode 29

Wednesday, March 15, 2023 • Duration 01:03:05

My friend Alex Chisnall did me the honour of joining me on the podcast to talk about his journey from cabin crew, to not being able to get a job interview at Tesco to becoming an entrepreneur.

Come on his journey from serving drinks at 35,000 feet to having a number one podcast on its 500 episode after 6 years and his own successful podcast agency.

He's the man responsible for helping me get How Not to Run a Business off the ground, so he's a very special guest.

It's an open, honest, and frank conversation about his journey, his successes and failures. He started his journey having no idea what he wanted to do. After spending a year developing a business plan, he got started building a sports injury clinic. It all came crashing down around Alex to the point he had a debt collector park his car on his drive and refuse to move it until he paid up. Now he's running his podcast and his podcast agency.

This is an important lesson in scaling too quickly and taking a step back from your business too quickly, not planning and avoiding paying your rent!

We touch on his journey to launch his podcast from 2 downloads in the first week, then to 50,000 downloads a week. It's a great lesson is perseverance and determination.

It's an incredible conversation, Alex's honest is refreshing and you will learn a lot!
