	How To Hire, Manage & Keep "A" Players	09 Oct 2024	00:22:38
Nick shares valuable insights on building a rock star team, focusing on the importance of clarity and consistency in leadership, particularly when it comes to hiring and managing A players—individuals who not only possess the necessary skills but also align with the company's core values. KEY TAKEAWAYS Clarity of Vision: Before building a team, it's crucial to have a clear vision of where you are (point A) and where you want to go (point B). Creating a vivid vision document helps articulate this clarity and serves as a tool for hiring. Right People, Right Seats: Ensure that the individuals you hire align with your company's core values and possess unique capabilities that are needed in your business. This alignment is essential for long-term success and reduces potential issues as the business grows. Hire A Players: Focus on hiring mainly A players, who are characterised by their desire to know if they are winning or losing, their emotional need to succeed, and their ability to see opportunities. Avoid settling for mediocrity, as it can hinder business growth. Five Key Hiring Principles: Implement a rigorous interview process, compensate generously, onboard effectively, measure performance consistently, and provide continuous coaching to retain top talent. Retention Beyond Compensation: Retaining A players involves more than just salary; it includes providing opportunities for training, development, and clear pathways for promotion. Additionally, be prepared to reassess roles as the business evolves, understanding that not all early hires will fit as the company grows. BEST MOMENTS "The caliber of your team is the single most important component of successfully and efficiently operating a business." "A players like to know if they're winning or losing. They have a high emotional need to succeed." "If you get it wrong, particularly in a key role, it's going to take you back a long way." "You have to have absolute clarity on point A, where you are today, and point B, where you're going." "It's not just about money; it's also about opportunity and what's in it for them."

	Supercharge Your Sales Performance with Todd Hartley	25 Sep 2024	00:41:00
Nick welcomes Todd Hartley, CEO of Wirebuzz, to discuss the art and science of winning in business through effective sales and marketing strategies. Todd shares his insights on the importance of clarity, credibility, and collaboration in the sales process, emphasising how understanding the psychological needs of buyers can significantly enhance closing rates. He recounts his journey from a news reporter to a successful entrepreneur, highlighting the transformative power of video in sales. Todd also provides compelling case studies, showcasing how his training has led to remarkable revenue growth for Fortune 500 companies. KEY TAKEAWAYS Importance of Clarity: Buyers need clarity about their problems and the solutions offered. If they are confused, they are likely to disengage. Salespeople should simplify their messaging to ensure prospects can easily digest the information. Building Credibility: Establishing credibility is crucial in the sales process. Prospects need to know that the salesperson has experience and can deliver results. This can be achieved through testimonials, case studies, and demonstrating past successes. Collaboration in Decision-Making: A significant portion of decision-makers evaluate options when the salesperson is not present. It's essential to provide resources that the primary contact can share with other stakeholders to facilitate the decision-making process. Utilising Video for Engagement: Video can significantly enhance the sales process by making communication more personal and engaging. It allows salespeople to convey their message effectively and connect with prospects on a deeper level. Relying on winging it can hinder growth. Establishing standard operating procedures and a systematic approach to sales can lead to predictable revenue and improved closing rates, especially as businesses scale. BEST MOMENTS "Winning is easy once you understand the psychological needs of buyers and then you can just start to scale it up." "I sometimes speak thinking everyone understands what I'm talking about. But half the time, they've got no idea what I'm talking about." "If you want to win more deals, start teaching visually. The human brain processes visual information 90,000 times faster than it does with written information." "Perfection's not the goal, connection is. Your prospects are not expecting a Spielberg production out of your videos."

	Stop Wasting Your Time	22 May 2024	00:24:29
Nick discusses the importance of leveraging time effectively to maximise output in business and personal life. Drawing inspiration from entrepreneur Naval Ravikant, Nick emphasises the concept of leverage in time management, focussing on the detrimental effects of being addicted to chaos and trading time for money, and highlighting the need to transition to trading money for more time to achieve entrepreneurial success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understand the power of leverage in business and prioritise it over just focusing on time. Avoid being addicted to chaos: Recognise and address any tendencies towards chaos that may be sabotaging decision-making and time management. Transition from trading time for money to trading money for time: Shift from being an employee in your own business to becoming an entrepreneur by investing money to create more time. Build a team strategically: Start by outsourcing administrative tasks, then focus on marketing and sales, followed by product delivery, and eventually move towards leadership roles. Aim for ultimate freedom: Work towards building a business that operates independently of you, allowing you to step into a leadership or board position and eventually achieve complete freedom from day-to-day operations. BEST MOMENTS "Time times leverage equals output." "If your business depends on you, you don't own a business, you have a job, and it's the worst job in the world because you're working for a lunatic." "Most business owners, most leaders are focused more on time than leverage." "You have to understand, you have to study and master actually the power of leverage."

	The Science Of Scale	10 Jul 2022	00:18:30
There is a marked difference between growth and scale, and yet why do so many confuse the two? In this episode, Nick talks about each, and explains why a more scientific approach to scale may be beneficial in the art of entrepreneurship.

You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Many in the growth phase become too comfortable, but it's a rollercoaster ride. Some days are successful, but it has no stabilisation. At the end of the growth phase, you near predictability. Predictability comes through scale, which is the nest phase in a company's life. When you enter the scale up phase, it's about creating cashflow so as to fuel more growth. it also creates transferrable value. The businesses that scale quickly are the ones that operate as a higher cadence than the rest. They go one step further than others are willing to go. BEST MOMENTS 'They are certainly part of the same journey, but they are definitely different things' 'There is an art that comes in the world of entrepreneurship' 'You've got to see a problem, think about a solution, and take action' 'Scale up is the extension of growth' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

With much doubt about the economy and the business landscape, many business owners are naturally looking for a way to fortify their organisations against financial challenges, and Roy discusses the practical, actionable ways in which you can make sure that your business can withstand a recession, and how through channelling resilience, you can ensure that your mindset is bulletproof.

You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS When you lose everything, the risks become that much smaller. We have less to lose. The stakes change significantly, but the wins can put us right back on top. People vastly prefer solutions that move them towards their goal instantly. Incremental change reduces momentum. People are willing to pay to get to their goals much faster. Failure is inevitable, but it is the way we deal with it and move on that creates greatness. Remember that starting from scratch is okay, because now you are starting from a place of experience. In order to fight back against the effects of a negative market, we must foster the FAF method - Fear, Acceptance and Fight! BEST MOMENTS 'When you've lost everything, it becomes a great time to take a risk' 'When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. You only fail when you quit' 'People don't buy incremental improvement. They buy an opportunity' 'I don't dwell on failure' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

	Should You Focus On Income Or Value?	03 Jul 2022	00:16:32
What's more important for your business to be focussing on - generating more income, or increasing value? As Nick explains in today's show, income and value are NOT the same thing, why both matter so much, and how both can drive growth in differing ways... Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Many think of value as the profitability of the business. The reality is that value isn't as simple as that. Some values are generated by formulas, and others are in the eye of the beholder. Businesses can make money, but not be as valuable as we believe. This can be caused through too much reliance on the owner's presence, too much reliance on a handful of customers, no IP protection and other factors. Focus on building a high value business. If you do this, you'll generate income for today as well as build a business that is exitable and attractive in the future. Once you've assessed value, make sure you protect it by ensuring the best foundations are in place. This allows you to build. BEST MOMENTS 'Income in its own right is not a driver of value' 'Value, or a high value business, absolutely drives lots of income' 'No understanding of tangible assets meant that tangible assets were precarious' 'By focussing on value you get income' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

	Todd Herman On Mastering Your Identity To Transform Performance	29 Jun 2022	00:58:57
Todd Herman has been entrenched in the world of elite performers working with the highest achievers in sports & business for over two decades. In this episode, Todd talks to Nick about the value of attaining a flow state and what it can help us to achieve, the importance of identity, and how by gaining mastery over it, we can accelerate growth, 10x our self-development, and achieve stunning performance in every area of life and business. Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Sports participants and athletes understand the value of flow, and how by tapping into an almost subconscious level of engagement, we can achieve incredible results. Nature is the ultimate meta-frame on judging whether something is true or not. The world around us abides by a set of chaotic natural laws that keep us all thriving. Flow creates growth, and drives momentum. This leads to enjoyment, which should be one of the most important metrics we use to determine success in business. Identity should be used as a device and mechanism to help us see and explore what else we are made of and what we can achieve. BEST MOMENTS 'When you're playing in a flow state - in that zone - all of your capabilities get to come out of you' 'One of the pitfalls of ambitious, top-achieving people is the expectation of some sort of outcome' 'Flow can be applied to a human. It can be applied to a team. It can be aligned to a business' 'If you don't have an attitude of playfulness, that means you're taking yourself way too seriously' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

	Why You Should Be Planning Your Exit Now	26 Jun 2022	00:15:06
In this episode, I have two big announcements to share. As you know, I always talk about: Scaling up. Scaling your business in order to live life on your terms. Knowing your identity. You can only scale a business to the level of your identity. Continuing your education. Keep learning. Pushing yourself to grow. Even when it's uncomfortable. I am a man of action and continue to follow these examples, too. So, I'm excited to announce: I went back to school! I'm proud to announce that I am officially a "Certified Exit Planning Advisor." My second announcement. Well, that has much more to do with YOU! I want to offer something special just for you. As you know, it's my mission to help business owners create high-value businesses. This episode offers an extension of my mission— a way for me to give back to you. You won't want to miss this announcement. Are you ready? Download and listen to the full episode!

You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS If you can create a business that can be run without you, it makes it far more viable to sell. This gives you the option to hold onto it without the operational side, but also gives you a valuable asset. Owner readiness is the preparedness of a business owner to be able to exit their business, either now or at some point in the future. 66% of the American business market is owned by baby boomers. There is a huge wealth transfer imminent. Statistics also say that only around 25% of businesses actually sell BEST MOMENTS 'The hallmark of a valuable company is one that can be run without you' 'That gives you the ultimate leverage' 'An owner who is ready with an attractive business greatly increases the odds that the business will survive a transition' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

	Oliver Burkeman On The True Value Of Time Management	22 Jun 2022	00:48:17
Oliver Burkeman is the author of The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking (2012), Help! How to Become Slightly Happier and Get a Bit More Done (2011), and a new book, Four Thousand Weeks, about making the most of our radically finite lives in a world of impossible demands, relentless distraction and political insanity. Oliver joins Nick this week to talk about why time management is the key to unlocking our true potential and productivity, and why mastering it will provide the key to success and scale in whatever we do. Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS The world is filled with infinite possibilities, and yet we as creatures are finite. The only way to make the best of our time is to come to the realisation that we are going to miss out on much the world has to offer. Many think that pushing for more gets you further, and that can be meaningful, so long as we temper our ambitions to realise that not every opportunity can be taken. You should make decisions as part of a practice, and see it as something you should get better at. If you're stuck, then look for some decision to make that makes the process irreversible, and make it! Habits we implement for our own self care must be conceptualised as such. If we become too focussed on the practice itself, instead of what we are trying to achieve with it, then we become far too future-focussed, which is detrimental. BEST MOMENTS 'We swim in infinity pools of possibilities' 'That's a recipe for being more busy, more stressed and less focussed' 'You can build this muscle' 'I 'm more interested in the achievement of the habit, than what the habit is trying to provide' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

	Multiple Arbitrage	19 Jun 2022	00:12:31
Nick talks about one of the most important core principles in private equity, one that helps to create high-value businesses - multiple arbitrage. As Nick explains, if you can fully understand the principle, it can lead to a life-changing exit, and will endow you with the experience and knowledge to hold effective conversations with potential business purchasers. Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Multiple arbitrage is the increasing of value of a company between buying and selling, absent of any operational improvements. Bolting on businesses to a smaller concern can help to grow size. As it increases in size and value, you create a multiple arbitrage strategy. If a bigger company has a higher value, and you are bringing a smaller value company in, the value of the bigger company instantly increases. BEST MOMENTS 'The value of a business is very much in the eye of the beholder' 'You're better off trying to become a part of a bigger entity' 'Create value via the multiplier effect' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Networking is vital in terms of having people to share your wins with, and to help you find support when challenges arise. One of the biggest myths about entrepreneurship is that people are self-made. No one gets there alone. It requires the support and skills of an amazing team. Teams work best when they learn to constantly rely on and trust each other. It's not enough to simply inject enthusiasm infrequently. Rewards should always be based on the values of the person being rewarded. If you don't get this right, it can demotivate rather than motivate.

	Marketing To High And Low Emotional States	12 Jun 2022	00:14:27
Marketing remains at the heart of almost all strategic scale-up plans, but many don't consider the emotional states involved during campaigns. In this episode, Nick talks about the value of recognising the high and low emotional states that connect people in a greater way to your marketing goals. Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS If you have a business already and are looking to scale via acquisitions, you must have the foundations in place, and you must make sure they are strong. Many see marketing as a simple message that will stop people in their tracks. The unfortunate truth is that this doesn't work. People have different emotional states depending on where they are in their journey. The people you most want to appeal to will be in a high or low emotional state, and the message you put out will dictate how effective it is.

With an audacious vision, he knows no limits. His moonshot vision breaks through barriers; his magnetic personality inspires the impossible. Naveen joins Nick to talk about the power of not just setting hard-to-reach goals, but goals that some would consider unattainable, how applying 10x to your thinking can supply you with incredible results, and the true measure of success. Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS When it comes to the goals we set, always aim higher than you need to. By aiming even higher, we achieve even more. The results will astound you. The true measure of success is not how much money we make, or the figures we accrue. It is in the shape of the world after we have left our legacy. Success comes from changing lives for the better. We all have within us a core belief that we are willing to go that extra distance for. Purpose comes from identifying that belief and working hard to make it happen. The secret to building a multi-billion dollar company is in finding a solution that positively impacts the lives of people around the world. If people want your solution then they will come to you.

	Building A New Life After A 9-Figure Exit with Anastasia Koroleva	08 May 2024	00:57:00
Nick is joined by special guest, Anastasia Koroleva, who has been involved in multiple exits and is now focused on the psychological effects of exiting companies. They discuss the importance of understanding the psychological impact of exiting a business, including the challenges and changes that come with it. Anastasia shares insights on the post-exit period, emphasising the need for healing, self-discovery, and exposure to new experiences. They delve into the concept of finding purpose and authenticity after an exit, highlighting the importance of evolving and aligning one's values with their future goals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Preparation is Key: It is crucial for entrepreneurs to prepare emotionally and psychologically for an exit. Understanding the potential impact on mental health and identity post-exit is essential. Taking time to heal and reflect post-exit is important. Entrepreneurs should give themselves permission not to know and expose themselves to different activities to aid in the healing process. Instead of asking "What's next?", entrepreneurs should focus on "Who is next?" This involves understanding who they want to become and aligning their energy towards a specific purpose. Entrepreneurs should be radically open to challenging their beliefs and assumptions, especially regarding concepts like freedom. It's important to channel freedom intentionally towards meaningful pursuits. As entrepreneurs satisfy one level of their needs, new motivators and drivers may emerge. It's crucial to recognise that there are other motivators beyond financial gain that can drive fulfilment and purpose. BEST MOMENTS "I think it's very important to give yourself permission not to know. It's very important to heal. Building a business takes a toll on our health and mental health. We just need to heal and respect that." "I think it's extremely important to focus on the 'who' first. 'Who' refers to you, but also as you correctly said, it also refers to people around you. Because we learn so much from just being around the right kind of people." "Understanding true authenticity, which is absolutely needed to find your real purpose in life, takes time because we need to deal with who we are, and then exit pushes us to do that, pushes us to ask questions." "It's a big challenge in terms of challenging it because most entrepreneurs, when I speak on stages and you ask the question about what are you doing this for? I usually ask three questions, and the second question is, you know, why does this matter?"

Even though people might be at the top of their game, it doesn't always mean that they are happy with the challenges and obstacles they face each day. Mediocrity is the enemy of growth. Never accept "fine" as a way of life. Look for ways to grow and ways to develop. If we aren't growing, then we are limiting our potential.

	The Perfect Exit	22 May 2022	00:26:26
Nick talks about that most crucial element of business ownership - the exit - and most notably how to ensure that you can maximise this vital wealth event, and achieve an exit that provides freedom and security. Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Life-changing exits are not necessarily about just money. They are about the freedom it endows you with, and what it allows you to afterwards. Business owners generally have 75-80 percent of their net worth tied up in their business. This means that their business exit is the single biggest transaction or wealth event of their lives. Leveraging yourself out of the business is crucial. The business must be able to run separately from you. This is vital for scale. You must start with your endgame in mind, using an endgame assessment. Gain a valuation of the business as it stands presently, then work out how much you want to sell for in the future. BEST MOMENTS 'For me, that's the pinnacle of what we do' 'If I can provide life-changing exits for them, then they can make life-changing impact on others' 'Only twenty percent of all businesses in the world will actually sell' 'A lot of businesses don't realise that scale matters' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

	Do No-Money-Down Deals Really Exist?	15 May 2022	00:13:14
Many assume that in order to acquire profitable concerns, that a strategy known as "No Money Down" can be used. But as Nick explains in this episode, there's a difference between "No Money Down" and "Other People's Money" Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS No-Money-Down is a term that originated mainly in the property space, denoting a scenario in which investors were able to begin their journey without the need for money of their own. Other People's Money is different from No-Money Down, as it explicitly means that other people's investment capital is being leveraged. When people invest their lives into a business, then they have done so with the intention of gaining some kind of reward in the long run. If you are fixating on a No Money Down deal, then you must be prepared for potential letdowns. Remember that it's better to spend a little and get something that works, than take s chance on something that might be fundamentally broken.

Events can take a drastic turn in the space of a day, so it pays us to be prepared. The key to making sure we aren't taken out by unforeseen circumstances is in ensuring that our key enablers are kept safe and guarded. Complacency has become far too commonplace, and this is largely due to the rise in use of technology, that makes life comfortable, but also dulls our senses. We may feel that time and money spent on being prepared is wasted, but the costs of repair far outweigh the small investments made in preparedness.

You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Mindset, and how you think about things, how you identify with yourself, how you show up - all of it is business itself. You can't grow and scale a business if there are chinks in the veneer - gaps in who we are, who we think we are, and who we are becoming. If our businesses are not moving in the direction we want, then the first step is to acknowledge that problem. We must evaluate our current identity, and then identify the identity we wish to embody. It's a case of looking at where you are and where you wish to be. BEST MOMENTS 'What I'm talking about today is who you are becoming as the business leader, the driver of what you are ultimately trying to create' 'You have to first work on yourself and define who you are becoming' 'You create the image of who you are based on your values' 'This is not about trying to pretend you're something that you're not' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

Marketing and advertising used to be the same thing, leading to a misunderstanding that still exists to this day. An advertising campaign is not the same as a marketing campaign. The core principle of marketing used to be to make average stuff for average people at scale. What has shifted is that scale is no longer a plus but a minus. The finest way of reaching your customers is to create something sp special that they will run to tell others. This is a dramatic shift in the way we reach people. BEST MOMENTS 'I'm trying to turn on lights for people' 'It is cheaper and more effective to make something for someone than it is to make something for everyone' 'I would rather applaud people who are doing extraordinary things, than win any given competition' 'Spend money to make a product or service that people want to talk about' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global "Scale To Sale" Workshop ... join my FREE training on how to scale your business to a life-changing exit - register here: https://www.scaleupmastermind.com/live-workshop Seth Godin - https://seths.blog ABOUT THE HOST Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

	Understanding The M & A Due Diligence Process - with Elliott Holland	24 Apr 2024	00:40:18
Nick is joined by Elliott Holland, an expert in due diligence, particularly quality of earnings. Elliott shares insights into the due diligence process, focusing on the importance of financial analysis and commercial and operational considerations. He emphasises the need for a robust due diligence process, especially for smaller businesses, to ensure accurate financial reporting and mitigate risks. They also cover key aspects such as working capital, key man risk, and strategies for successful acquisitions., highlighting the significance of differentiation in a competitive market and the importance of experienced buyers in securing successful deals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Quality of earnings is crucial in the due diligence process for selling a business, providing a mini audit on private businesses to ensure accurate financial reporting. It is important to address key man risk, financial disrepair, and reliance on one vendor or customer to maintain the value of a business during a sale. Working capital should be carefully assessed and negotiated to ensure a smooth transition for the new owner and avoid financial strain post-transaction. Differentiating oneself in a crowded market of acquisition entrepreneurs can be achieved through experience, stability, and a willingness to put skin in the game. No money down deals are speculative and may not be feasible in most cases, especially for new entrants in the market. It is essential to have realistic expectations and be prepared to negotiate effectively. BEST MOMENTS "I think the no money down stuff is speculative and oftentimes not worth the juice isn't worth the squeeze." "I think more people know about them now. And also, I think the skin in the game concept is real." "I think the other thing is there's a metric in private equity, I'm sure you saw this, where when you swap out leadership and put in your own person, the general return on that is pretty high." "I think it's primarily contracts and bonuses, but let's take a step back and say on this, let's be smart."

Adversity and challenge lights a fire beneath us that allow us to identify the "why" and the purpose that drives us onwards. Those who successfully lead are the ones who show up no matter what. If our purpose is strong enough, nothing can hold us back. Never accept the accepted wisdom from the world at large. Far too many preach that adversity and challenge are there to stop us in our tracks, instead of providing valuable lessons in what we are capable of surmounting.

	How To Scale To 7 Figures	24 Apr 2022	00:22:15
Building a business to scale in order to provide a healthy exit usually means aiming for an 8-figure concern. But in order to get there, you have to have a clear plan for how to first get to the 7 figure mark. This is a period that can prove somewhat tricky... In this episode, Nick talks you through the ways in which you can ensure that your business reaches that 7 figure milestone, in order to ensure that life-changing exit. KEY TAKEAWAYS Six figures of revenue does not necessarily equal six figures of profit. You still have to sensible in terms of what you want the business to be so that you ultimately end up with what you want. Momentum is important and drives the speed of your operations. But without scale, you are merely moving faster without moving forward. Cash flow is vital. This relies on predictability of leads, predictability of sales, and from these two factors you get the predictability of cashflow. Structure matters more than you might think. You should always build your company's structure around the strategy that you want to pursue. BEST MOMENTS 'Building a 6 figure business is still awesome' 'We become entrepreneurs because we don't just want to hustle' 'You want to be in the situation where you have a business that allows you to have an amazing life' 'You've got to have the right pond with the right fish and the right bait' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

	John Bates On Making Your Communication As Mighty As Your Ideas	20 Apr 2022	00:59:46
As business owners, effective communication is paramount in ensuring that our messages are received, translated and implemented. But many find their grand ideas stymied by an inability to better communicate them, leading to frustration and unnecessary challenge. Joining Nick this week is John Bates, founder of Executive Speaking Success, and a man who has helped countless leaders and executives to dynamically improve their business results through his unique communication education and training, based in the fundamental evolutionary biology and neurophysiology of human communication, connection and interaction. Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS When we are given opportunities to speak, we should prepare rigorously. We may not always be aware of what can lead from engagements. Treat every opportunity as special. Leadership is a function of great communication, and great leadership is a function of great communication. The reason why formats such as TED work so well is because they understand this, and give their people the chance to reach others through tried and tested means. Structure can have an enormous impact on the way we reach others. The "in media res" technique plants us squarely in the action, and provides a hook that draws people into the rest of the message. There are certain markers that we can provide, which allow another person to realise that a story is being told to them. This affects them on a chemical level and makes them more receptive. BEST MOMENTS 'I call it the "Valley Of Awkwardness"' 'If I started at the beginning, it would have been a very different experience for people' 'That moment deserves preparation and practice' 'Our brains release the same chemical we release when we expect to get a reward' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

	5 Reasons Why Successful Businesses Fail	17 Apr 2022	00:19:39
Even the most successful business concerns hit bumps in the road, and generally tend to find that larger problems await us further down the road. Some succeed, but some fail, but why? In this episode, Nick talks you through the five main reasons why successful businesses can fail, and how you can avoid the same fate. Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS As entrepreneurs and investors, the reward gained from solving a challenge is usually finding that a bigger challenge or problem awaits us on the other side. Sometimes, as we become successful, we stop thinking about the gains we make in terms of relativity. This means we feel as though we are growing significantly slower, even though the gains are still big. When it comes to strategy, we can become far too obsessed with taking action in and of itself, the implementation, that we forget about the strategy. We must never forget to help others in attaining their desired place in their own journey. If someone is not the right fit in your business, it could actually be the best thing for their growth if they break away. BEST MOMENTS 'As you start to build something bigger, the problems and challenges become bigger' 'Remember, that is what you are signing up for' 'The faster we grow, the more difficult it can become to top our previous successes' 'You've got to have strong systems and processes' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

She has helped companies and startups such as Casper develop good workplace culture, and has authored the best-selling book, 'No Hard Feelings'.

You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS We cannot hope to surmount the problems that hold us back from greatness unless we first admit they exist, and then allow others to support our overcoming them. In the wake of the pandemic, the need for a more open discussion upon the ills of emotional imbalance, especially in the workplace, are far more relevant. Success is often due to our energy, talent and commitment to a task, rather than some desire to be the best, or to provide perfection. Fear can be easier to deal with because its roots usually lie in something specific. However, anxiety is non-specific and therefore can be tricky to be deal with. Therefore, by channelling our broader anxieties into something more specific can be helpful in our learning to deal with them. BEST MOMENTS 'When we keep everything bottled up, we suffer in silence' 'We want our leaders to be emotional, but not too emotional' 'The reason we allow ourselves to think this way is that we believe that it serves us' 'Fear is when we believe that something specific will happen' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

	Business Buying In 2022	10 Apr 2022	00:17:08
Nick talks all things business buying and acquisitions in 2022 - a state of the industry update - so as to help refine the information out there, and debunk some of the rhetoric available, ensuring that you have the most up to date and accurate data to hand in order to realise your buying and acquisitions aims for the year ahead. Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Main street are businesses beneath the realm of £2m in revenue. The lower middle market range from the £2m mark all the way up to £50m. The state of the world and its many economies, as well as upheavals and political events, all have a marked effect on business buying. Going through the traditional routes of buying through brokers and agents means that a lot of people will be doing the same thing leading to high levels of competition. This means your ability to negotiate will be hampered. 54% of transactions are closing successfully. This is an extraordinarily high rate of acquisition success, meaning there is economic confidence around scale. BEST MOMENTS 'Markets change all the time' 'I still think it is a buyer's market, but it's a buyer's market if you are prepared to look off-market' 'Over the next decade you are going to get the baby boomers coming through' 'Go out there and do partnerships, joint ventures and acquisitions' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

	Jason Harris On Marketing With Science And Soul	06 Apr 2022	01:00:32
How important is branding to you? How much in the way of time and resources are you spending on making sure that your brand represents you and your company accurately, and in a powerful way? In this episode, Nick is joined by Jason Harris, the co-founder & CEO of award-winning creative advertising agency Mekanism, co-founder of the Creative Alliance and author of national bestseller, The Soulful Art of Persuasion, to talk about the empowering ways in which you can harness the powers of science and soul in order to accelerate your marketing ambitions.

You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Brands allow us to be a part of a hero's journey. When we see and respect sports personalities, associating ourselves with their brands allows us to feel like we are part of their story. As business owners we must sometimes come to terms with the fact that the ideas we have aren't always plausible. This can require input from an outside perspective. Companies aren't what you buy, and they're not about what they sell. Companies today are more about the idea that the consumer buys into. Around 82% of consumers don't care if a brand disappears, as they can easily find others that fill their need. Around 53% of consumers will buy products from a brand that does something positive. BEST MOMENTS 'I wouldn't just watch the ad and have it wash over me. I'd really dissect it' 'When you're not thinking about jobs, futures or careers, then what are those instant passion points you have?'

	20 Ways To Scale	03 Apr 2022	00:33:45
As an expert at scaling-up in both private and corporate business situations, Nick is here this week with a definitely business-centred episode, sharing with you the twenty most powerful ways that you can achieve accelerated scale in your own business.

You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Once you've made a decision, own the decision. Be brave enough to take a risk, but also be brave enough to be accountable for it. Examine you customer base and ascertain whereabouts within that base your most value is being generated in terms of revenue and profit. Always follow up on your leads. Far too many people spend huge amounts on marketing, but only look at the top level results they gain. Look for ways in which you can bundle more value and add to your existing product or service. By making small, incremental value-adds, you increase the value of your whole offering. BEST MOMENTS 'You need to be thinking organically' 'You have to have a process for follow up!'

You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Discipline creates systems that allow for order. We cannot hope to achieve success if we live alongside chaos. Discipline guides you to your best life. If we confront the truth at our core - the essence - then what truly matters in life are the relationships we build and foster. Ego is often driven by scarcity. We are led to believe that only so many people can win in life. When we shift our abundance mindset, this perspective changes. Many of us judge success by the result of an action. In reality, we should consider the input that got us there. Look at all contributing factors, for that is where the true value lies. BEST MOMENTS 'Discipline guides you to your best life' 'Being able to do what you want when you want is the recipe against success' 'It's developing the conversations - having a lot more of them, and helping to learn and grow along the way' 'I'm much more of a leader that focusses on principles, values and actions' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

	The Three Levels Of Value	27 Mar 2022	00:12:29
Nick talks about the ways in which we can understand our client's needs, and better serve them, by recognising the three levels of value, and deploying them in the right order. Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Decisions are sometimes made by the unconscious, but in order to process them fully, we must allow them to break through the conscious mind, which always seeks to protect and shield us. The first level of value is to help your customer to fully understand their challenge. Many feel the challenges they face, but fail to effectively identify its implications. Once the problem is understood, we must supply the quickest path or method towards eradicating that issue. The last level of value is demonstrating how your unique offering actually removes or eradicates the problem being faced.

Conduct exit planning sessions early: Engage in exit planning sessions with leadership teams to align on the vision for the business and the exit strategy.

"The presence of a clear successor to the extent that the founder is trying to transition out or doesn't have or has acknowledged they don't have the skill set to carry it forward." "I love what you're doing about getting people ready to be CEOs and putting them in. But I also know that if someone's got training wheels and an acquisition gets done, that can be a big risk as well."

	Azhelle Wade On Why Following Your Passion Isn't Overrated	24 Mar 2022	00:53:20
Over the past 10 years, Azhelle Wade has worked for companies like Toys R Us, Party City, and Madame Alexander, climbing up and across the ladder in the toy world. After building and mentoring a diverse and talented team toward success, she had the vision to do the same with newcomers to the toy industry. Today Azhelle is known industry-wide as The Toy Coach. Azhelle is proof that there is always a career path to be had that is aligned with your true passions in life, and in this episode, she talks to Nick about why these aims aren't overrated, how to turn your ideas into multi-million dollar brands, and how to keep fun at the centre of what you do. Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS We often assume that success comes from iterating on the triumphs of others. But often, we can achieve staggering success through looking for the new ways to break ground. One of the more interesting effects of the pandemic has been the sudden uptick in playtime. With less travel happening, people are focussing on how to enrich their lives in playful ways closer to home. We often have our dreams derailed by those who cannot see the potential in them. Building a business based on what you love allows you to assert positivity into not just your ambitions, but the lives of others. The truth of the matter is that success doesn't become easier the more you have. The higher you reach, the more difficult the issues that you face. This is why being passionate about your idea or central conceit can push you to overcome even the toughest challenges. BEST MOMENTS 'That helped me to get in touch with my own creativity and get in touch with the purpose behind toy creation' 'Don't try to mean a lot to everyone. Try to mean a lot to someone' 'I want to build a business where I feel good about it, and I feel like I'm uplifting myself' 'You have to stay true to who you are, and if you have faith in that decision, then ultimately you will be successful' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

	Accelerated Change	21 Mar 2022	00:16:01
Nick talks about why scale matters now more than ever - in terms of business and life - and how in order to shield ourselves from the external factors, and achieve accelerated change, we need to ensure that we embrace a growth mindset. Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS When it comes to life, there are things we can control, and things we can't. The key is not to spend too much time focussing on the things we can't control. The pace of accelerated change is putting more emphasis on scale itself. This is clearly evident through the proliferation of partnerships and collaboration. Be more strategic, think bigger and don't be distracted by all that is going on. Embrace digital, apply across your business, and subsequently embrace the world as your marketplace. Niche down on who you are endeavouring to appeal to. Look at the target groups that mean the most to what you do. Consider not just those people but their customers. BEST MOMENTS 'There are certain things that you can affect and there are certain things that you can't' 'If you're neutral or grey then you don't mean a lot to anybody' 'Scale is a strategy that mitigates risk as much as it brings the benefits of more resources' 'Niche down on who you really serve.

Justin Schenck is the host of the top rated podcast the Growth Now Movement and founder of Growth Now, LLC which is a full service podcast production and coaching company. He has been named a Top 8 Podcaster to follow by INC Magazine and chosen as an ‘Icon of Influence’ in the new media space. He now helps individuals unlock their passions and live life fully. Justin joins Nick this week to talk about the ways in which you can take control of your own destiny and create your own happiness in business and life, the importance of constant growth, and how by serving others we raise the quality of life for other people and ourselves. Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Forgiveness is a quality we must instil within ourselves. It's okay to slip up sometimes, so long as we practice self care in the aftermath. We are in a constant state of growth, development and flux. If we accept this and allow ourselves to grow at all times, then enlightenment follows, both spiritually and emotionally. We are all infinite beings. Many believe that when we pass on we leave the world, but the footprint and legacy we leave behind allows us to live on. When we live to serve others, it creates an intense sense of fulfilment, and can serve to show us that life is enhanced endlessly by raising others up. BEST MOMENTS 'My goal within spirituality is to make sure the energy around me is flowing with me instead of against me' 'I can literally manifest any life that I want' 'Instead of being a cynical human being, I'm very much more positive with a positive outlook on life' 'You have to do this from a place of wanting to give and not wanting anything in return' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

	How To Build A High-Impact Advisory Board	14 Mar 2022	00:18:58
Nick discusses advisory boards, and the governance you may need in order to scale your business. Many see the growth of a business as a gradual shift in your identity, and in this episode, Nick explains why the identity of the business itself must also grow, including at the highest level. Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Businesses that have some level of advisory governance, tend to work out to be more valuable in the long run. Having an external perspective can also help with execution and strategy. An advisory board is a group of subject matter experts who provide the company leadership team with a new perspective upon factors such as innovation, risk management, growth, profitability and other areas. When you bring in someone to sit on a board, you must always compensate. This can take the form of perks such as travel or accommodation and dining, but can also stretch to equity shares. Advisory boards are there to not just offer guidance on the areas you do know about, but to offer support and mentorship in the areas in which you are unfamiliar. BEST MOMENTS 'You can only scale a business to the level of your identity' 'If you're going to pay for expertise and expect a result, it is an investment' 'You need people who've been there and done it. Who've got the t-shirt' 'It's about understanding the value of having that support network around you' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

We learn more about ourselves when we are knocked down than we do from riding high on success. We all have the ability to grow, heal and come back stronger. What holds us back is our ability and willingness to tap into it. We can find great sources of healing by not just committing our thoughts to words, but by then taking those words and sharing them with others. By empowering the voices of others, we change the world in powerful ways. We must seek to give volume to those with life-changing stories.

	People, Processes and Automation	07 Mar 2022	00:23:14
Nick discusses a crucial part of scaling up - the art of creating solid scaleable foundations through people acquisition, implementing processes, and achieving a state of autonomy. Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS People, processes and automation are often referred to as "The Golden Triangle". They are the fundamental underpinnings that are considered to be essential to all businesses. Start with the end in mind and be clear about what you're building towards. What is your freedom number or "get rich once" number? Next we have to formulate a plan to work towards it. We must optimise foundations. This is where people, processes and automation sit. It's also where structuring capital and investment directions sit. Scale fast and build value. This is the phase by where organic growth takes places, but we supplement by adding external factors such as partnerships, joint ventures - the things that build value quickly. BEST MOMENTS 'You need to start with vision, mission and what the endgame is' 'It's owning the process. It's building the team' 'It's about getting in front of the process and leading it, proactively' 'Businesses that exit for the highest value are the ones where they have great people' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

	Dean Karnazes On Dedicating Your Life To Achieving The Impossible	03 Mar 2022	00:43:45
Named by TIME magazine as one of the “100 Most Influential People in the World,” Dean Karnazes has pushed his body and mind to inconceivable limits. Among his many accomplishments, he has run 50 marathons, in all 50 US states, in 50 consecutive days. He’s run across Death Valley in the middle of summer, and he’s run a marathon to the South Pole. Dean joins Nick to talk about his incredible running career, the ways in which he has conditioned his mind and body to adapt to the toughest challenges, and how by dedicating yourself to a pursuit completely, you too can achieve the impossible. Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS As we grow older, we start to develop different rhythms when it comes to energy levels. This can largely be due to our intake, and require constant adjustment. These days, many treat running as some kind of objective-based activity in which a certain metric has to be attained. But running, or any physical activity, should also be fun. Remember to use activity as an enjoyable form of play. Our bodies are machines. If we view ourselves as limitless in potential, and work to achieve greatness, then the way we feed ourselves and treat ourselves, as animals, can shape the potential we achieve. When you have harmonious inner personal relationships with those around us, your performance is better. Everything is better. If you have discord, it disrupts your performance. BEST MOMENTS 'People quantify every run. For me, the only purpose for a lot of my runs is just to run' 'I view myself through the lens of trying to be the best animal that I can be' 'I like to say that if I can't pick it from a tree, dig it from the earth, or catch it with my hands, then I don't eat it' 'Look to optimise your relationships.

	How Much Is Your Business Worth?	28 Feb 2022	00:14:31
One of the most common questions business owners wish to know is exactly how much their business is worth. In this week's episode, Nick talks about the ways in which you can determine your own magic number. Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Sometimes it takes an outside perspective in order to ascertain your business valuation, as we can be so wrapped up in our offering, that our own vision is skewed. You as the seller, may have an expectation when it comes to a sale. If you've created something that's difficult to replicate, and it appeals directly to your potential buyer, they're likely to see a lot more value in it. You can base your valuation on revenue - how much the business generates through sales. Calculate this and look at how much a typical business in your industry may be worth based on a certain level of annual sales. Never base your business's valuation simply on number crunching or formulas. Consider the value of your business based on factors such as geographical location, its potential strategic value, quality of customer base, and alignment of systems and processes. BEST MOMENTS 'People have such a broad perspective about what they're creating' 'Valuation is cryptic and ambiguous' 'The business is probably worth more than its net assets' 'You need to go beyond all of these financial formulas' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

	Robin Sharma On How We Can All Be Heroes	24 Feb 2022	00:56:36
Robin Sharma is a Canadian writer, best known for his The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari book series. Sharma worked as a litigation lawyer until age 25, when he self-published MegaLiving, a book on stress management and spirituality. Robin joins Nick to talk about the philosophy surrounding what we think we can then materialise, his mentor work which has helped some of the world's most powerful thinkers, and all about his incredible new book, 'The Everyday Hero Manifesto'.

You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Our daily behaviours reflect our deepest beliefs, and we all have a psychological story. It is this story that determines the things we do each day. Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, and are often not lionised as much as those who shape the world. If we install the right philosophies and seek to improve the world in small ways, then we can count ourselves as heroes. We often mistake wealth for having large reserves of money in the bank. What the past years have taught us is that wealth comes in many forms, including connections, savouring life and self-respect. Fear creates cortisol, which contracts our perceptions. In the world of today, many live their lives in fear. This means we can miss opportunities through the reduction of our perceptiveness. BEST MOMENTS 'Things are created first in the mind, and then are created in reality' 'Society seduces us with wealth is having a lot of money in the bank' 'Synchronicity is destiny's way of remaining anonymous' 'The paradox is that we do less to achieve more' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

	Winning	21 Feb 2022	00:23:26
Nick reflects upon the business wisdom of Jack Welch, the author of 'Jack: Straight From The Gut', and 'Winning', with a particular focus on leadership, and why we must make the tough decisions in order to ensure that our businesses can grow, and that we remain on a winning path. Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS When we transition to our scale-up phase, it is the movement between being able to work independently versus the ability to build a team and lead effectively. As leaders, we must be able to coach people so that they can advance. Everyone at your organisation is not necessarily thinking about business goals from the viewpoint of a founder. Honesty and transparency in communication is vital. There's no point in sugar-coating a message when it requires clarity of communication. Our jobs as leaders are to define thew ways in which we intend to win. Our values and behaviours demonstrate how we will get there.

Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS When we travel through the business journey on the rails of the corporate model, we often aim for promotion or salary increases, not realising until we achieve them that these things rarely bring fulfilment. When we recognise our talents, and learn to assess them using our own autonomy instead of waiting for others to validate us, we create the kind of energy we need to start reaching higher and moving faster. Determining to become a success is about asking ourselves the question - am I where I want to be? And if the answer is no, then it's about finding the discipline to do more. Consider the legacy that we would leave behind if we were to depart immediately. Is the story that others would tell about you, the one you would write? If the answer is no, then it's time to start rewriting that story in your own words. BEST MOMENTS 'I'm a teacher. I love to learn, but I love to teach' 'I can visualise things, I can create the action plan, and go and execute that to get results!' 'I was really honest with myself. I asked "Am I where I want to be?"' 'There was a blinding spotlight that this was not enough' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

	Copy That Sells	14 Feb 2022	00:21:44
Perhaps more than any other skill you can have in business, writing copy that sells your product or service is one of the most essential. In this episode, Nick explains why it matters so much, and how effective copy can accelerate your business growth. Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Conversion copy is all about the way you articulate your message, the emotional and psychological journey you take your prospect on, and how it can make a true difference. Having an amazing product or service isn't everything when you come to the market. It matters, but what also drives growth and take-up, is the message. Messaging should aim to satisfy a key outcome for your client base, but should also communicate that the only way this outcome is possible is through your offering. One of the most important questions that should be answered by your messaging is why should action be taken now? We must communicate that if action isn't taken, then the world will change quickly BEST MOMENTS 'I like to get into the detail' 'If you can't communicate your message in an impactful way, then it won't matter how good that product or service is' 'Write the cover line and then find the story' 'A very simple phrase, articulated brilliantly, has the power to change everything' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...

Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS We can gain an instant boost int he lifestyle we lead if we stop focussing on outcomes and look to improve our consistency, accountability and surround ourselves with the right tribe. Self development must evolve over time, because we grow and age over time. Never assume that what worked for us in our youth will work for us now. Most people are in "survival mode" and they seem to be okay with it, but if we are diligent enough, and are tested frequently, we can mitigate and sometimes head off health problems before they have to become manageable. Mindfulness and mental health is equally as important as physical health. We must take time to recharge and reset. There's nothing wrong with hitting pause on our activities and taking some time to heal our minds. BEST MOMENTS 'Consistency is the name of the game for me. Accountability is the name of the game for me' 'I'm always paying close attention to whether something's working' 'You want to be as versed in as many things as possible so you can avoid the boredom, the injuries and the plateaus' 'Mindfulness allows your body and mind to settle, to heal, to relax' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ...
