Think productivity is all about cramming more into your day?

Think again.

In this episode, I’m joined by Louise Miller, a productivity mentor who has redefined what it really means to be productive - without the stress, overwhelm, or endless to-do lists.

Instead of feeling like you’re constantly racing against time, what if you could work in a calmer, more intentional way and create space for what truly matters?

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, struggled to focus, or found yourself stuck in the “busy trap,” you’ll love the practical, feel-good strategies Louise shares in this conversation.

Together, we explore:

·     The hidden risks of traditional productivity advice

·     Why slowing down can actually help you achieve more

·     How to escape the ‘frantic & frazzled’ cycle

·     The power of pausing before diving into action

·     Practical ways to work in alignment with your strengths, as Louise brings her Entrepreneurial Superpower® to life with her Accumulator Wealth Dynamics profile

If you’re ready to ditch the hustle and embrace a more effective, ease-filled approach to productivity, this episode was recorded just for you.

Does this sound familiar to you? …..

You do all the things you can to help set yourself up for the best week.

You get up ‘early’ & do your routines …

You capture everything you want to get done on your list … whether that’s a nice fancy notebook where you go old school & write it down, or you tap tap tap away & input it into your somewhat more fancier system, which will help you be organised & get it done.

But then at the end of some days, you find yourself down in the dumps, saying not so nice things to yourself & drowning your sorrows whilst staring down at the bottom of your cold latte mug ….. because some things didn’t quite get done like planned!

Why is that?

Of course, there’ll be times when ‘things’ come up that you didn’t expect, so you need to re-prioritise & adjust your plans.  That’s life & it happens.

But if you keep noticing that you’re constantly moving the same things from one ‘to-do list’ to the next one … yet it’s still not getting done … maybe there’s something else going on.

It could be down to FEAR.

There’s actually 2 sides to the FEAR equation … and one side tends to get more time & attention by people … the fear of failure!

You know … the things that you don’t do because … what if it doesn’t work out or you fall flat on your face!

Well what about that other side … the Fear of SUCCESS?

This is often neglected & not given enough attention.  But it’s what can be the real reason why sometimes we can hold ourselves back from actually doing what we say we’re going to do.

Because … what if it DOES work … then what will that mean?

You know like …

‘What if I get grow my team? … it will mean that I’ll need to coach & lead them … yikes will I be good enough to do that & do I even have the time to do it?’

What if I put myself out there on social media? … it will mean that other people will see what I’m doing, they may think I’ve changed & not be happy for me!

What if I get more sales? …. it may just mean that I’m working more & the lovely tax people will take a bigger chunk of it.

What if I grow my part-time business? … it could mean that I’ll actually get to give up the full time job that I’ve been trying to get away from … but I’ve been doing that for years & it’s ‘who’ I am!

What if … what if .. what if?

Some of the above rambles that go on inside our head can be pretty scary at times for us to even contemplate … so without realising it we can sabotage things to stop it from actually happening!

It may sound absurd but I’ve seen this countless of times when coaching & mentoring business owners & entrepreneurs … plus I’ve been guilty of doing that too at times!

So have a think about some of those things that you may not be doing & if you were to really be honest with yourself, it’s because you’re scared of acing it!

Then give yourself a good shake & ask yourself what you’d rather …. keeping things the way they are … or creating things in the way you really want them to be?

Of course to get from ‘here’ to ‘there’ … it will feel scary at times … you’ll feel like you’re out of your...

‘I don’t have enough time to think’

‘I don’t have the time to switch off & not think’

‘I’ve got no time to really plan’

‘I’m always so busy’

I hear these things all the time when I speak to small business owners.

If this is you, then please do yourself a favour & listen to this.

I promise you that it will be the best 10 minutes you can invest in yourself & business today.

Enjoy my little gift.

Best wishes as always.

I know what it’s like when you set a big hairy & scary goal. You can start thinking … ‘is it really going to happen?’

Then doubt can creep in & you start thinking …. ‘but how am I going to do it?!?’

‘How?’ … isn’t the most useful question to focus or dwell upon from my experience.

Because if you’re so determined to have something happen in a very specific way, you could be closing your eyes to opportunities for that goal being achieved in much easier & different ways. Ways that you don’t even know is possible yet.

So how do you keep the faith & confidence to keep on going?

For me, I love seeing ‘signs’ that give me the little nod, that things are unfolding towards that goal, so just keep on moving forward.

Do you have a ‘sign’ that helps give you that boost?

For me, it’s whenever I see a butterfly.  Whether that’s a real-life one, or if it shows up in the most random of places, like my niece’s t-shirt the other day.

Without fail, it helps me banish any doubts & gives me an extra spring in my step.

If you don’t have a ‘sign’ yet, you can choose one! Just make sure it’s not something so normal that you already see it easily every day.

Butterflies also reminds me of something powerful one of my mentors Roger Hamilton talks about.

‘Grow a garden instead of chasing butterflies’

There’s 2 ways to go growing your business, a hard way or an easier way.

If you’re constantly chasing butterflies, it’s like being in ‘hustle’ mode. Every day you’re having to wake up & do lots of chasing. Think about it, if you had a net & were chasing butterflies, what would they do? Fly away from you!

And if you didn’t get out there with your net to chase your butterflies, well you’d have none that day, right?

How about you did things differently?

If you grew your ‘garden’, then butterflies would be attracted to it more easily, even when you’re not there. And it would also attract other animals & insects.

Ok, so what’s that go to do with business?

Well, your business could be like the garden. When you’re out there consistently sharing your valuable content & resources, it’s making it easier for you to attract your ideal customers, clients or even potential collaborators.

This could still be working for you over & over again, even when you’re not actually there.

When you grow your garden, you’re not worried about the ‘how’ things will happen, unlike if you had that net & your sole focus was chasing the butterflies.

Does that make sense?

So what can you do today, to grow your garden & then use your ‘sign’ to help you know that you’re on track, so just keep on going?

I’d love to know how this resonates with you & what your sign is, so do drop me a comment below or drop me a message here.

Best wishes as always.

I opened up a new business bank account in literally 2 minutes, with one of those online ‘challenger’ banks last week.

No long forms to fill in. No paperwork. No long meeting with their banking advisor.

What a contrast to when I opened up my first business account when I started my business back in 2007.

It really reminded me of the power of keeping thing simple as we grow our businesses.

Here’s 5 top tips to help you to do just that ….

1.    What’s your goal?

• If your new ‘idea’ or opportunity doesn’t fit within your goals (especially 90 day goals), the chances are that it could be a distraction & could risk you overcomplicating your business.

2.    Simple first & then you can get fancy.

• What’s that new promotion/lead magnet/service/product (seriously this applies to everything) that you’re wanting to get out there … get the first version of it out there in the simplest way possible. The feedback you get will help you decide if it’s working or not. Then you can make it even more fancy, if you need or want.

3.    Less is more

• One sure fire way to feel overwhelmed, unfocused & to confuse your potential clients, is to be launching to many different things at the same time.
• Do one thing at a time, so you can really do it justice.

4.    Remember the basics

• There’s so many ways that we can use technology & get all advanced to help us grow our business, but what’s the point if you’re not even doing the ‘basics’ well.
• You know like following up on potential leads; delivering on your product or service promises & acing your customer service.
• Get these working consistently well & in a simple way, before you go more fancy.

5.    What stage are you at?

• It’s so easy to look at what your peers are doing & suffer from comparison-itis as a result, thinking that you have to do things like them. But are you really comparing the exact same situation or stages of business …. Most likely not, right?
• So even if you do try to do what they’re doing, the chances are it won’t work as effectively for your business or risk overcomplicating things unnecessary for you.
• Don’t say I haven’t warned you.

So what’s the biggest tip that you needed reminded of today to help you focus on keeping your focus & action sharp?

Let me know …

“I don’t know!"

It’s one of the most common responses I hear.

Both when it comes to business & also in our new favourite Netflix series, ‘Indian Matchmaking’.

Sima the matchmatcher from Mumbai always asks, ‘What do you want in your life partner?’

Normally she gets some form of ‘I don’t know’ or a vague response. Until she probes & asks again.

And guess what comes out … what they really want!

So how do you stop pretending that you don’t know the answers to the questions that will help you to get out your way & grow your business?

Well that’s what I’d love to share with you in today’s podcast.

You’ll get to hear one of my all-time favourite ways to respond to yourself or others, when you next think or hear those words, ‘I don’t know’.

Enjoy & as always let me know how it helps you.

Best wishes as always.

So you’ve set your goal.

But now what?

Please don’t just leave them as scribbles in your notebook or the text that you typed up.

Because your mind doesn’t get inspired by things being left so logical, black & white & one-dimensional.

So how about translating them in a way that will connect more your unconscious mind, so that you are continually inspired to take action?

Well in today’s podcast episode, I’ll share some practical tips for you to help bring your goals to life & keep them alive!

Hint …. I’m 100% positive that you’ve experienced the power of this the last time you went to the cinema.

Listen to this episode & then enjoy seeing your goals in ‘4D-real-life-max’.

Best wishes as always.

Isn’t it an amazing feeling when you get a new client or customer?

They’ve put their faith in you & of course you want to totally deliver for them.

But what happens when you’ve got lots of clients that are needing your time & attention? 

It can be so easy to end up neglecting your own business. Trust me, I’ve been there & done that!

And that my friend, is a slippery slope that you really want to avoid.

Because if you stop nurturing & growing your business in a consistent way, you may end up with no new clients or still talking about those projects or goals you have that never seen to get done!

In this week’s podcast episode, I share my own & some client experiences on how you can still prioritise yourself & your business, whilst still doing an amazing job for your clients.

It’s filled with practical tips, including how your diary can become your best friend (if used right) & why boundaries are so important.

So honestly who are you really putting first at the moment … your clients or your business?

Best wishes as always.

In the ideal world, we could click our fingers like Mary Poppins & viola … ‘the job is done’.

But in reality, when making changes & growing your business things can often look & feel messier before they get better.

That’s normal, seriously!

Clarity comes after chaos!

Just like that time when I decided to Marie Kondo the heck out of my clothes. The room looked like a tornado had hit it, until I persevered & finished the task at hand. And not even halfway through, I was beating myself up thinking … ‘why oh why did I even start this?’

But every time I open my drawer to choose which pair of Harry Potter themed socks to grace the day with, I smile & think … ‘Ohh look how neat & orderly it now is’. (Yes … sad I know!)

So in this week’s podcast episode, let’s chat about this more & how you can really embrace the messiness of business growth.

It’s filled with practical tips & examples, which I’m sure you’ll get loads of value from & realise that it’s not just you who doesn’t have everything looking ‘Instagram-filtered’ behind the scenes in your business.

Until next week … enjoy growing your business.

‘Will you marry me?’

Now that’s certainly been one of the biggest & most important question I’ve ever asked in my life.

So of course, I thought about it long & hard, before I popped the question to Shareen whilst on a horse-drawn carriage in Central Park on a lovely winters evening in New York. (A true romantic I am, right?).

But honestly I think some people make too much of a song & dance around making decisions … especially when it comes to business.

Because most of those decisions aren’t ‘forever forever’ decisions, right?

I’ve been having fun this week having 1-2-1 clarity calls with clients ahead of the 90 day Mastermind kicking off next week & helping them to make decisions on what they’re going to focus on. 

And I’ve loved seeing the huge sigh of relief when I’ve reminded some of them that their goals don’t have to feel like ‘forever’ goals.   But instead to focus on goals that will help them move forward & achieve even just that next stage of growth in their business. 

In this week’s podcast, I talk about this even more with lots of examples & practical suggestions on how you can get out your way, if you’re going in circles with some decisions at the moment.

Listen in here.

Because I would love to see you take more consistent action, instead of worrying about things like … ‘I need to have the perfect niche before I can put myself out there more’; ‘what website theme is the best to use?’; ‘have I chosen the right colour for my logo?’; ‘should I be doing what others in my industry are doing?’ ….

Enjoy the podcast & I look forward to hearing how it helps you.

Best wishes as always.

‘I want to be earning at least double this salary within the next 2 years!’

‘Seriously … who do you think you are?’ … were the words that were going on in my mind, when I heard my colleague say, just after we’d started on the M&S graduate programme together.

But it was simply down to my money mindset & beliefs at the time.

And it’s pretty scary to see just how much those inner stories can hold us back in massive ways … especially when it comes to growing your business.

So what are some of your money stories & do you have a positive or a ‘rubbish’ mindset when it comes to that often emotive side of business & life?

In this week’s podcast episode, I’ll tell you more about you can recognise & start to change some of those beliefs & stories … especially if they’re not working for you.

You’ll also get to hear why I love going to Starbucks practically every day & why I seriously considered paying a lot extra for my car … so that it would reverse park itself!

We all know resilience is essential for every business owner, but I was honestly left incredibly moved, humbled & inspired after this raw & real conversation with Adelle Martin.

Adelle took us through her powerful journey from rising up as an incredible leader in the corporate world to feeling it all start to crumble as she experienced early-onset menopause in her 40s. This turning point led her to take a brave new career path, leaving the corporate world to start her own business as an executive coach & advocate for women navigating menopause.

Then, life threw Adelle a new challenge. Following a life-altering & incurable cancer diagnosis, she did what so few could do. Instead of letting it stop her, Adelle used it to fuel her mission & purpose. She’s channeling her experience & Entrepreneurial Superpower® to create Stronger Together Through Cancer—a social enterprise supporting small business owners facing cancer, ensuring they have the resources to sustain their businesses during tough times.

I promise that after listening to this conversation, you’ll have a whole new appreciation for knowing your ‘why’ & building a legacy.

Key Topics & Takeaways:

• Adelle’s Corporate Journey & Transition to Entrepreneurship: Hear how Adelle rose through corporate leadership in finance & HR before her personal experiences—and the mission to support women’s health—led her to establish her own business focused on empowering women through menopause.

• Facing a Cancer Diagnosis: Adelle shares the impact of her incurable diagnosis, her challenges within the healthcare system, & how she created purpose in the face of uncertainty.

• Supporting Business Owners Through Cancer: Inspired by her own journey, Adelle founded Stronger Together Through Cancer, a social enterprise dedicated to helping small business owners facing cancer access resources & keep their businesses running.

• Building Resilience & Leaving a Legacy: Adelle’s mission highlights the strength of resilience, guiding business owners to make informed & empowered decisions rather than choices driven by fear.

• Leveraging Her Wealth Dynamics Profile: As a “Lord” profile, Adelle draws on her strengths in analytics & structure to create impactful initiatives. Knowing her Entrepreneurial Superpower® has helped her lead & adapt through each new challenge in both corporate & business ownership.

• The Power of Community & Support in Business: Adelle’s story underscores the importance of community and accessible resources for business owners, especially when personal health intersects with professional responsibilities.

The brown envelope didn’t have the chance to hit the floor, before I snatched it from the letter box.

The exam results inside were about to reveal how I’d performed over the last year at school.

And I loved how they weren’t just a ‘pass’ or ‘fail’. Because life isn’t as clear cut as that, right?

Instead, you got to see your performance against a scale & that made them much more meaningful.

And that my friend is a little coaching tool that could help you massively in your business too.

In today’s super short podcast episode, I bring this to life & show how this can help you to get out your way.

You’ll get to see how you really are performing in certain parts of your business & also get more clarity around some of the more ‘intangible’ things … like how you’re feeling & confidence levels.

I’m also super excited to finally reveal the details of the next 90-day Mastermind, which will be 100% virtual. So if you’re thinking that enough is enough & you’re ready to step things up in your business, then see if it could be the right fit for you here.

I’m constantly having well intentioned people tell me ….

‘You should stop doing 1-2-1 coaching & do only group coaching.’

‘You could launch online mindset courses’

‘You should create workshops to help kids be more confident’

‘You must do TikToks for business’

‘You should ……’

Everyone’s got an opinion on what you should, could or must do to grow YOUR business.

And all too often, we can start following strategies & goals blindly, which really are not what you actually WANT to do!

What’s worse many of those things may conflict with your values, what’s really important to you or not play to your entrepreneurial superpower.

So be very picky with who you listen to, especially if they’ve not got the full story or know what your goals are.

In this week’s podcast episode, I talk more about this & share some practical ways for you to avoid ‘should-ing’ all over yourself & your business.

Enjoy & speak soon.

I loved tucking into my first Nando’s chicken pitta & peri-salted chips back in 2004. It was so new, novel & fresh, as I’d never even heard of peri-peri spice before.

From that moment on, Nando’s seemed to be popping up everywhere & new phrase was born … ‘a cheeky Nando’s’.

‘What an overnight success they’ve had’, I remember thinking.

But in reality, they opened their first restaurant back in 1987 … 17 years before I even knew they existed.

Now that’s some ‘overnight’ success story, right?

I know how it can feel when you see other people in your industry have a meteoric rise out of nowhere & ‘overnight’.

Then you’re left thinking … ‘How are they doing it so fast?’ ‘Why am I so behind?’ … (and all the other lovely words you say to yourself in your head).

But in like 99.9999% of the cases (ok I made up that stat), it’s simply not true!

In this week’s podcast episode, I dig into the truth behind overnight success more & even question whether you’d really even want that to happen.

So tune in & hear some practical ways that you can focus on what you’re doing to grow your business … each & every day!

My leaving lunch & drinks were done.  

I’d said my goodbyes & it was finally time to hand back my laptop, mobile phone & security pass.  

That was over 13 years ago, when I stopped being a corporate employee to start my own business.

I remember feeling … ‘this should be quite easy!’. Because after all I had been excelling in the corporate world & climbing the ladder rapidly there!

Yep a very naïve thought, on reflection!

Because being an employee vs. being the boss … is different in so many ways.

In those first few months & years, my confidence went down & I felt like a fraud at times. As there was so much that I didn’t know & I didn’t even know that I didn’t know!

But I also unknowingly did something that I often see other ex-corporate turned business owners do.

I started to quickly forget about the skills & experiences that helped me get results in the corporate world, instead of embracing them!

Please don’t do that!

In this week’s podcast episode, I share some of the key things that you may want to dust off & remember from your past career successes so far. 

I’m sure it will help you spot opportunities where you can still lean into those experiences & see how they could be used or translated into your own business world now.

So are you really 'employing yourself' in your business now?

Best wishes as always & speak soon.

Ever find yourself in the middle of your very own intimate ‘pity party’?

Where the music is blaring inside your head with lyrics like,

‘Why’s it not happening for me?’

‘It’s alright for them!’

‘Is it ever going to happen?’

‘Seriously, what’s wrong with me?’

Well the good news is that you’re the DJ & you can change the playlist in your mind.

Here’s one ‘track’ … or what a coach like me would call a question, which will instantly change things up for you … in a positive way.

I asked it to a client yesterday & their reaction was priceless. And more importantly, it helped them to think, feel & act differently straight away!

That question is:

'What makes you so special that you can't do it?'

It's such a powerful question isn't it? (It comes from a previous podcast guest, Jessica Lorimer's mum.)

Be sure to save it to your favourite ‘playlist’, for whenever you may be venturing into a future ‘pity party’.

Because I know you’re special … but are you really THAT special?

Enjoy.

Speak soon

I wanted to be a Policeman, when I younger. I loved the idea of being a detective & solving mysteries.

But I recently figured out that I kind of get to do that, as a performance & mindset coach … well without the badge, blue flashing lights or handcuffs.

I’m constantly helping my clients solve problems & overcome obstacles, so they can grow their business.

Often it boils down to them needing to focus or fix one of three main things … their Design, their Mindset or their Strategies!

I love it when we pinpoint exactly what their real ‘issue’ is. Because it makes it so much easier to then go about solving it!

To help you see where some of your current obstacles or blocks may be, I’d love to invite you to take my updated ‘Get Out Your Way’ Quiz today.

In less than 2 minutes, you’ll get to be a detective & uncover what’s currently working well for you & what needs your attention!

I’ve recorded a special podcast episode, which will help you to make sense of your quiz results & give you practical ways for you to Get Out Your Way.

Take the updated quiz here & then tune into the podcast episode.

Best wishes as always.

‘If your goals don’t scare you, they’re not big enough!’

Have you heard words to that effect before?

I get that it’s meant to motivate or inspire you, but I disagree!

Because for some business owners, thinking that you need to ‘think big’, can actually do them more harm than good.

Seriously, what’s the point in having big grand goals & visions, if you’re then paralysed by them?

Or they just seem so big & overwhelming in your head, that you end up taking no real meaningful action?

Well it can end up back-firing & leave you feel like you’re not good enough or like a failure.

So today, I wanted to talk specifically to YOU … if you’ve ever felt like that.

And instead, invite you to instead … DO SMALL!

Just like Neil Armstrong said, ‘That’s one small step ….’

And when you take one small step, after another small step, repeated over & over & over again consistently … that can end up resulting a ‘giant leap for you’.

So you don’t have to take ‘ONE GIANT LEAP’, as your next step!

Tune into the podcast episode, where I shed more light onto this with some practical small steps you can take.

You’ll also get to her more about why it gets on my nerves, when I hear lots of ‘influential’ people always bang on about the notion that bigger is always better!

Enjoy the episode & taking small actions after listening in.

I’m sure you’ve heard the expression …. ‘Your attitude stinks’?

Well trust me when I say you really don’t want a stinking attitude when it come to your business.

Because it will impact everything.

How you think.

How you feel.

How you see things.

How you act.

And all those things together will influence the results you get!

I’ve been super proud of all my clients & what they’ve been up to in these past few weeks.

And a huge factor about how they’re approaching their business, is down to their attitude.

So in this week’s podcast, I shed some light into the different ways you can ensure you’re attitude is as fresh as possible & in tip-top condition.

The good news is …. It’s relatively easy to change your attitude.

Once you do that, you’ll Get Out Your Way & see a positive ripple effect.

It’s time to be brutally honest with yourself … is your attitude helping you or holding you back at the moment?

Enjoy the episode & see how it can help you today.

It seems like Shareen was a total hit on the podcast last week, from the emails & messages I’ve been getting since.

Well the conversation (i.e. grilling) continues now for you over on episode 101.

You can have a sneaky peek at the questions that Shareen asked me on behalf of my clients, podcast listeners, friends & family … [along with the exact time they’re asked in the episode].

• [01:57] What do you feel is the most important achievement you have created for yourself and how do you feel that impacts who you are right now?

• [05:20] What's your secret dream? What motivates you? What’s your WHY for your business & has it changed as you have evolved?

• [10:37] What is your daily habit that you credit the most for your success?

• [12:29] How do you recognise when YOU (Osmaan) are getting in your own way, and once you realise that, what do you do to get out of it?

• [15:37] How do you think you’ve gotten out your own way since starting this podcast?

• [18:17] How well do you feel you juggle all the different aspects of life?

• [22:42] 'If you had the chance to take one shot you could have taken but didn't, what would it be & why?'

• [24.10] What is the project or opportunity that you have said NO to in the last 12 months that has been the best decision you have made to help keep you focused and on track?

• [27:18] What’s the one thing you wished you had done in the last 12-18 months? How do you manage to stay true to your superpower?

• [31:20] Do you ever get bored of the Entrepreneurial Superpower & wish you could talk about something else?

• [34:58] Plans for the future for his (Osmaan) business, how he manages to work from home, impacts on COVID on his business?

• [40:45] What (business & personal) advice would you offer 21-year-old Osmaan?

As you can see, there was again some really meaty questions that got me reflecting & digging deep to share with you.

I truly hope you continue to get some great insights from listening in, which can help you to continue to Get Out Your Way too.

I look forward to sharing even more with you next time & do hit me a quick reply back to let me know if you enjoyed these last 2 episodes.

Best wishes as always.

“What if you didn’t care so much?”

Specifically, what if you stopped worrying about what your peers or others in your industry think & focused more of your time & energy on what truly matters—your clients, your business, and your unique journey? 

Let’s explore the power of letting go of external pressures & how freeing yourself from unnecessary comparisons can help you to experience even more growth.

Inspired by the quote, “I’m not afraid to be seen trying,” can help us to embrace the courage to stay in your own lane, trust your Entrepreneurial Superpower®, and focus on your vision, goals, and values.

Key Takeaways:

• Understand what “not caring” truly means—it’s not about indifference, but about shedding unnecessary comparisons.

• As an expert, only you truly know your vision and goals, so staying in your lane is key to success.

• Embrace the courage to be seen ‘trying’—let go of fear & judgment from others in your industry.

• Your peers are not your benchmark; your own progress & the impact you have on your clients matter most.

• Focusing on your clients’ needs is the core of your business, while letting go of external validation fuels creativity and growth.

• Innovation often comes when you ignore what’s “expected” & instead focus on what feels right for your unique path.

• Celebrate your wins, big or small, without comparing them to others in the industry.

If you’ve ever struggled with worrying about what others think, this episode will guide you to shift your focus, tap into your own entrepreneurial strengths, & create without the weight of external pressures.

Here are three reflection questions that will help you even more:

·     Who are you really doing this for?

·     Are you proud of what you’re building?

·     What could you achieve if you didn’t care what others thought?

We tucked the three boys up into bed on Saturday & got ourselves ready for what would be ‘date night’ …. with a difference.

Because the tables got turned & I was getting put in the ‘hot seat’.

We hit ‘record’ & Shareen was in host mode, ready to grill me with the questions that had been flooding in from my clients; podcast listeners, family & friends.

And what a fun night (early morning) it ended up being, as those questions really did make me think & sparked some deep conversations between us.

It truly was a perfect way to celebrate the 100th episode of The Get Out Your Way Podcast with you … especially as I got to Shareen with you all … who’s been a huge part of my business & of course life ;)

There was a mix of personal, business, mindset questions … all of which I’m sure you’ll find useful for you, your life & your business.

As there were nearly 30 questions & I wanted to do justice to each of them, I decided to split the podcast into 2 parts for you.

Part 1 is now ready & waiting for you … here’s a sneak peek of the questions asked & at what time:

• The lightening round (3m 42s)

•  ‘What is the most common thing you get asked to advise on & what’s the answer to that?’ (4m 52s)

• ‘What’s the most frequently used & helpful mindset tool Osmaan uses himself & with his clients?’ (7m 26s)

• ‘What tools do you use to motivate yourself when everything around you creates barriers to progress?’ (10m 16s)

• ‘Osmaan is brilliant at bringing stories to life … how does he do it? … Does he ever struggle to find ideas for the show?’ (12m 16s)

• ‘How does he manage to go from one hat to other, and still keep on smiling, at such short notice sometimes?’ (16m)

• 'What advice would you give to someone who is starting out as a life coach. Specifically around how to find clients?' (19m 25s)

• ‘Are there any drawbacks/negative things about being a coach?’ (23m 4s)

• ‘Are you able to switch off from "Coaching" at home or do you find yourself reaching for post it notes when a decision needs to be made about something?’ (29m 22s)

• ‘Do you apply the advice/methods you give to your clients to yourself and your family?’ (34m 55s)

• ‘You’ve had a huge positive influence on the lives of many people over the years. Who has had the biggest positive influence on yourself?’ (37m 16s)

• ‘You are always so enthusiastic and positive! What inspires you and keeps you going every day?’ (44m 56s)

• ‘What are you most proud of in your business and life?’ (47m)

• 'Ever regret leaving the corporate world? If you were still there, what role do you think you’d be doing now?’ (50m 30s)

• 'Given your experience in the corporate world, what is the biggest learning/experience you have gained in the entrepreneurial world that you would give back to the corporate world people to apply?’ (55m)

I told you that some of those were tough questions & definitely put me on the spot.

So come join us for ‘date night’ & tune into the episode … either by listening to it all (especially if you want some laughs & to hear the banter between Shareen & I … including her perspectives on how I...

I’m not going to lie, being on lockdown is starting to make me go a little stir-crazy here.

Even though I usually spend the majority of time in Glasgow, working from home & seeing my clients worldwide via video calls …. I never quite realised how much I got from my little burst of travel up & down the country.

I’m especially excited to get my next London fix when things get back to the new ‘normal’. 

A trip to London doesn’t feel complete for me, unless I’ve been on the Tube & wandered around the Westminster area to say ‘hi’ to Big Ben.

When you think about it, the London Underground system is actually amazing. It whizzes over 1.3 billion passengers under the streets of London ever year, across 270 stations & 11 different lines.

There’s even an estimated half a million little mice that live down there …. if you stare closely down at the tracks next time, I’m sure you’ll spot one or two of them.

As I took a trip down memory lane thinking of my fond times travelling around London, I actually realised that there’s 10 really powerful things that we can all from the London Underground & how it applies to our businesses … especially in these ‘interesting’ times.

So go grab your Oyster card, ‘Mind The Gap’ & come on a trip around London with me today …. whilst still remaining safe at home & listen to this week’s podcast episode :)

Us ‘big people’ can think that we know best.

But in fact, it’s often the ‘little folks’ who have got it more figured out than us.

I’ve seriously been super impressed at how Kaiyas & Aaron have been so resilient in the past couple of weeks. For little Zakariya, it’s fair to say life is just ‘normal’ for him … milk; nappy changes; naps; play & repeat!

So I thought I’d share with you 5 things that have been really working well for the kids to cope with change, so you can take a leaf out of their book.

This includes … spoiler …

-      Cutting out the ‘noise’ & focusing upon what’s really important

-      The magic of routines for your sanity

-      Be adaptable like play-doh

-      Connections really count

-      Choose your environments carefully

Listen into the full podcast episode now … with a nice little intro from a wise little man J

Enjoy & I hope you get some real magic nuggets to help you become super resilient during these ‘interesting’ times.

‘I feel like I’m in grief’, is a phrase I’ve heard a few business owners say over the past week. 

Initially those words felt mega strong to me & filled me with sadness.

But then they truly landed & made me realise that no wonder, some may be feeling like that at the moment.

I’m sure like me, the goals you set at the start of the year or 90 days ago, didn’t really take into account what’s happening in the world at the moment & the impact it’s understandably having in many ways.

So how can we help ourselves at a times like this & when you may be feeling like your emotions are all over the place?

Be kind to yourself & remember we’re all in this together.

Sometimes we need to slow down, in order to them speed up! Being in a ‘lockdown’ may be just that opportunity to enable you to do that.

So it’s ok, if it feels like you’re not crystal clear with what to do at the moment or don’t have your ‘new’ goals or strategy all mapped out.

It’s ok, if you’re feeling like your priorities & time is focused on other areas of your life.

It’s ok, if you’re super focused on your business & doing all you can to continue to make it thrive.

Whatever you decide is right for you, right now … it’s ok.

So be kind on yourself & stop beating yourself up, if you’re thinking you ‘should’ be doing things differently.

In this week’s podcast episode, I bring this to life even more & share my thoughts, plus practical tips to help you through these ‘interesting’ times.

Whatever you are doing this week … do it safely & kindly. 

Remember if I can help you in anyway, then book in for a free virtual cuppa for me here.

Best wishes as always & keep well.

Remember that TV show, ‘This Is Your Life’ where they flip through the big red book & present to you important people from your past?

Well last week, I had what felt like one of those moments & it rocked!

I was speaking at an event & as a total surprise there were 6 people who ended up being there from my past. So in amongst the many hugs & catch ups, they each took me on a trip down memory lane on the various chapters of my career & business journey so far.

And it totally made me stop & think about how we just don’t know how things could unfold in the future.

The late Steve Jobs was a wise guy when he said,

‘You can’t connect the dots looking forward: you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.’

Yeah goals are important to help set us on a direction. But could you be getting too caught up on the ‘how’ it’s all going to happen & actually be robbing yourself from letting the magic unfold in ways that you don’t even expect or can’t even imagine?

I’m also not saying you should just sit on your backside & wait for it all to happen to you either. Action plays a huge part in you going on the adventure of business; meeting different people; making things happen & learning more.

But honestly, when I think back to my business journey, things have changed in many ways over the past 13 years. I’ve changed! My goals have changed. My world has changed.

In this week’s podcast, I dive into this even more with you & share just how much the having those blasts from the past has got me even more excited about the future ahead.

I’m sure that it will help you get out your way even more, when it comes to growing your business, so be sure to tune in.

But before you go to listen in, I just want to say a big thank you. Why? Because you’re also a part of my journey & I’m privileged to be a small dot in yours too.

Enjoy & ‘see’ you over on the podcast.

Best wishes as always.

I’d walk from the crowded tube station at Bank on a Monday morning & stop of at the local Starbucks. Then armed with my steaming hot latte & a smile on my face, I’d get in the glass lift to whizz me up to the 6th floor whilst seeing St Paul’s Cathedral appear. Oh how I still miss that view!

I was ready to take on the week ahead & see what fun it would bring.

This feeling would last until a certain person would come plonk their backside on my desk.

You could honestly feel the temperature drop. Like a Dementor from Harry Potter was descending on me & ready to suck out my soul & cast a spell to zap my positive feelings away.

They didn’t just have this effect on me but I could see them also using their special powers on other members of the team.

That’s one thing I truly don’t miss about my time in that role in the corporate world.

Because it was so much harder to escape or distance yourself from your colleagues, especially if they were in your team!

But they can have such an impact! Just like that one bad apple in your fruit bowl, spoiling the rest of the fruit there!

People rub off on you & you rub off on others!

As business owners, we get to control who we spend our time with much more. But are you still choosing wisely?

Uncle Jim Rohn famously said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

So on this week’s podcast, I dive into this much more & talk about 7 things to really think about when it comes to who you’re spending your time with.

Don’t worry, it doesn’t mean that you need to rudely banish anyone to Azkaban. But it could help you see when it would be useful to unleash your protective force-field around you.

I really hope that my ex-colleague isn’t one of my podcast listeners … or actually perhaps I should do their current colleagues a massive favour & send it to them!

Want the good news?

There’s so many ways to grow your business!

Want the bad news?

There’s so many ways to grow your business!

Yep ... it can be a real catch-22!

Because for some business owners, it means they maybe thinking there’s only ‘one’ way. But if that way doesn’t pan out the way they expected, they can end up feeling stuck, lost & really down! 

For others, too many choices can lead them frantically doing lots of things, but really they just end up being distracted & not doing anything in particular exceptionally well. This can lead them to not get consistent results or make any real traction with their business growth. 

Which one is it for you? 

In this week’s podcast episode, together let’s chat about:

• How you can strike the balance between being fixated with one way vs. trying to run down many different paths at the same time. 

• Why you need to start with knowing YOU ... before you even try to decide on the best paths to take. 

• What you can do if you feel like you’re stuck going down the ‘wrong’ path!

Listen in today & see if you need to hear the good news or bad new message more today. 

Best wishes as always.

Not last week but the week before, I felt like I had a million of things on multiple plates and I wasn’t being very productive.

And it turns out that it was all down to me having all my to-do items & lists swirling around in my head, strewn across post-it notes & in multiple notebooks.

Even when I wasn’t in ‘work mode’, I still had that niggling feeling like I had loads to do & couldn’t then switch off.

Why did that happen?

Well it’s because I had let slip some of the systems & strategies that I had used in the past, that were working for me!

It wasn’t like things changed overnight when I stopped using some of my systems that helped me stay productive. But over a few weeks, they compounded together & that’s when I really felt the impact of it.

Luckily, I was able to sort it out & even upgrade some of the systems that I was using before, to make them even better!

And seriously, I’m feeling like a productivity ninja now & like I’m in control of all the fun projects that I’m choosing to work on.

In this week’s podcast episode, I’ll share the 5 things that I did that helped me to Get Out My Way & back in control.

These include:

1. Getting it all out your head & into YOUR system
2. Delegate & make sure the right person is doing each task
3. Say No & re-negotiate when necessary
4. Be realistic with your timescales & priorities
5. Use time blocking & batching to help you get & stay in flow.
6. BONUS - Take a break!

I’m sure it’ll help you be as productive as you’d like to be. Plus you’ll get a heads on how how it’s all too easy to let your standards & systems slip, when things are rocking & rolling in your business, so you can avoid falling into that trap.

‘Can I give you some feedback?’, were the words that flowed out of my mouth to Shareen, as I was driving her home after we’d just had a fun dinner with some of my school friends.

Her face said it all & then she responded with …. ‘Osmaan … you are not my HR Manager!’

Whenever I hear the word ‘feedback’, I automatically think back to that moment many years ago when we’d just started dating. Luckily (for me), she still married me after it!

Feedback is such an emotive thing, right? Because it’s normally feels very personal.

And as a business owner, we can sometimes shy away from giving feedback to those we’re working with & instead just put up with feeling frustrated when things aren’t going the way you’d like!

It can truly can a gift too … both when you’re on the receiving end & when giving it.

But like in my case, it can go disastrously wrong, even if you’ve got the best intentions … if you deliver it in a not so elegant way.

In this week’s podcast episode, let’s dive into this topic together.

I’ll even share with you the 5 key things that every piece of feedback needs to contain for it to be useful & for you to avoid being physically or verbally slapped back!

Plus, it’s not just about the conversation which admittedly can be awkward for both of you … but what happens after it? That’s where it really matters & can make the difference.

So tune into the episode & you can hear more about the feedback I was giving Shareen & how my school friends still to this day tease me about it at any opportunity they can!

Questions can have the power to rock your whole world!

Just like the question my old boss Jenny asked me, that set of a tidal wave & lead me to be doing what I’m doing now in business. 

It’s what I spend most of my days doing with clients …. asking questions.

I’m sure you’re always asking yourself lots of questions too … probably in your head, right?

But not all question are helpful. In fact, some questions can end up making matters even worse for you.

It’s all about asking quality questions, as that's what will lead to those quality insights & results you're after!

In today’s podcast episode, I spill the beans on what Jenny asked me. Plus, I'll share some of my favourite quality questions that will help you to get out your way, when needed!

What’s more because I’m a nice guy, I’ll even let you know the questions you’d really want to steer clear off.

You can also take a sneaky peek at the below:

Avoid: Problem Focused Questions like ….

·      What’s wrong?

·      Who’s to blame?

·      Why?

·      What’s else is contributing to this?

Embrace: Solutions & Outcome Focused Questions like ….

·      What do you want?

·      What would make this better?

·      What options do you have?

·      What would you do, if you knew you couldn’t fail?

·      What advice would you give to your best friend, if they were in your shoes?

·      What resources do you have that can help you?

·      What’s the next step?

·      What’s your best thinking right now?

·      If you could wave a magic wand & solve this right now, what would be different?

Enjoy going on an adventurous quest, through the power of asking quality questions.

Feeling stuck is never fun.

In fact, it’s pretty damn frustrating because it’s like you’re in limbo land.

Not moving forward … not totally moving backwards … just not moving anywhere!

But feeling stuck isn’t always doom & gloom or when it seems like everything is going wrong.   At times that could in fact be the case & will need sorted asap, to get things back to a positive state.

But often it’s when things have been going well, you’ve stepped things up, seen progress & results …. but now you’ve stagnated.

‘What’s next?’; ‘Which one of my 4323 ideas do I go with?’; ‘What if it’s not the right one?’; ‘Can I not just ignore this & hope it will all figure itself out?’

Yep, all those thoughts keep whizzing around your head constantly; you’ve got notebooks filled with your ideas; you’ve invested in courses (or paid for but not actually completed); you keep devouring books.

They’ve all helped with given you more information but not the transformation you are wanting & in reality have actually made you even more stuck & confused!

This is the point where most of my business owner clients are at, when they first reach out to ask me for help. They’re experiencing some form of ‘stuckness’!

And I love getting stuck into helping them get unstuck.

Because it’s only when you’re unstuck & back in motion, that you can figure out the actions & strategies … or the ‘doing’ tasks that are going to make a difference. As you’ll have an updated ‘map’ & sense of clarity.

So last week, after finishing another ‘unstuck coaching session’ with a client, I was buzzing & decided to fired up my podcast mic to share some of the magic with you.

I hope it helps give you some ideas on how to get out your way in those times when you’re feeling like you’re swimming in a bath of cement.

So have a listen in & you’ll see why you need to consider your challenge from many different ways to really get unstuck.

...

Last week I climbed up Conic Hill, which is just a short drive away from Glasgow.

In reality, it’s a tiny hill but in my head it was like I was about to trek up Everest. Especially considering even climbing up the stairs in my house was challenging at the start of last year, after my trampoline accident & knee surgery.

After my friend David suggested we go, I started to quickly go down the path of thinking & overthinking about how tough it would be in my head… why the weather wasn’t the best cause Storm Brendan was blowing that week & 7562 other reasons of why to not do it.

That’s what happens when you start overthinking things, right?

And that is often what is keeping business owners stuck too!

Because when we get into that loop of overthinking …. the actual ‘doing’ & getting the results suffers.

So in this week’s podcast episode, I take you on a quick journey with me to share some practical tops on how you can do more doing … instead of doing more thinking.

You’ll also hear me share how this little achievement (massive in my head) has helped me commit to climb Ben Nevis by my next birthday in August!

What’s something you do hundreds ... if not thousands of times a day?

Make decisions!

Sometimes they are tiny ones & other times they may be massive life changing ones ... but they all require something. 

Your energy, time & sanity. 

One of the cool things about being a business owners is that the decisions around what you do ... are down to YOU! 

But what I find often happens is that we can waste our energy & time on those ‘non-important’ decisions & then we’re knackered or overwhelmed when it comes making the really ‘important’ ones.

So in this week’s podcast, I share 5 simple ways that you can avoid ‘decision fatigue’ in your business & life. 

Which will mean you’ll get rid of having to make loads of decisions each day & focus on the big juicy ones. 

You’ll also hear some pretty mind-blowing research that shows the impact that ‘decision fatigue’ can have ... without you even realising it. 

I’ll save you from making a ‘should I ...?’ decision here ... simple click on the link & listen to the podcast now ... done :) 

Enjoy & let me know what decisions you’re going to stop making everyday. 

Speak soon

My life was all packed up & the hire car was filled to the brim.

And I was ready for the long drive down to Brighton where I was about to start my new job & career back in 2005.

My new bonsai tree was safely sitting in the front passenger seat with the seat belt wrapped around it … well you can’t be too careful … especially with me as the driver.

And next to it was my trusted printout to help me navigate all the way from Glasgow to Brighton … a long drive ahead!

I remember not even getting outside Scotland & feeling … ‘Am I nearly there yet?’ and I really had no clue.

Even though I knew where I was starting from & was clear on my destination, the actual journey was less known … which made it feel like it was dragging on & on & on.

Do you remember those days … without sat-navs being ‘standard’ … seriously how did we survive?

We take for granted how much valuable info sat-navs give us by constantly sharing real-time feedback on how far we’ve gone & our estimated time of arrival. Recalculating so it takes into account the coffee & pee breaks & contending with any traffic hold ups too.

When you know you’re getting closer … you feel like you’ve made massive progress & are even more excited to keep going, cause it's not long left! Or if you see that the ETA is way longer that you anticipated, you get to put your foot down more (safely & within the speed limit of course) or take shorter pit-stops.

So how about create your own version of a ‘sat nav’ to help track how you’re doing with those shiny new goals you’ve set for your business?

In this week’s super short & rapid podcast episode, I’ll share some ways that I personally track my goals so that they are always front of mind & help me know exactly where I am on the journey. Plus you’ll hear some ways that my clients have made this work for them.

Most people focus so much time on setting their goals & getting clear on the destination … but it’s the actual journey where the magic happens.

Increase the odds of you hearing those much anticipated words (in your head) …. ‘you’ve reached your destination’, by adding this simple strategy into your goals so that you truly enjoy & make the most of the journey.

Let me know how creative you get by sharing how you’re going to track your progress with me.

p.s. – all those years of watching The Karate Kid on repeat paid off …. the Bonsai tree survived for years & moved with me to London & then back up to Glasgow

But it’s really all down to you, how you show up & what you do.

To help you make 2020 a year that you’re truly proud of, I wanted to share some quick tips on how to set goals that really work, based upon real life experiences & the strategies I use with my business coaching clients.

These will help you if you’re still to really start on figuring out what you want to make happen and also if you’ve already done some work on them, as you can then ‘stress test’ them.

Guess what’s coming just around the corner?

Apart from Santa clambering down your chimney!

All the people, e-mails, social media posts asking …..

‘What’s your goals for 2020?’

‘What New Year’s Resolutions are you going to set?’

‘Have you started planning for the new year?’

Is that a bad thing? 

No … well apart from the New Year’s Resolutions ones because who really sets & achieved them in reality?

As a performance & mindset coach for professional business owners, of course goal settings & focus is part of my DNA & toolkit.

But before you jump straight into that ….. do yourself a favour & give yourself the biggest gift possible.

By take proper quality time to reflect upon the past year; celebrate the big & small wins & learn from what didn’t quite go according to your grand masterplan.

To help you do this, I’ve shared my top 7 questions below. (You can use them at any time of the year!)

1. What are you most proud of achieving or experiencing in the last year?
2. What went even better than you expected or thought?
3. What didn't go quite as planned or as expected? What can you learn from this that will help you moving forward?
4. What was your 'word' or theme for the past year? How did that show up for you?
5. What advice would you give to your best friend, if they've just had your past year?
6. How did you play to your entrepreneurial superpower & where did you experience the most flow & ease in the past year?
7. What patterns do you notice that happened again in the past year?

Once you’ve done that, I’ll be back with you at the start of the year, to make sure you’re really setting yourself up for even more success.

I truly wish you a magical Christmas & holiday time.

Until next time …. Enjoy & have a toffee nut latte for me … cheers J

Best wishes

He’s here!!

Little Zakariya joined the Sharif family just over 2 weeks ago & he’s already growing up so quickly!

In between the fun times of cuddles; countless nappy changes & a few sleepless nights, we’ve managed to watch some TV.

Including binging on season 1 of The Crown & getting sucked into watching I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here.

But it wasn’t wasted time, because I found 7 key lessons from seeing what the celebrities were doing in the jungle that can help you in your business.

In this week’s podcast, I’ll bring them to life for you … including why ‘clearly fame isn’t everything’ (said in Professor Snape’s voice).

So tune in today to see how you can stop yourself from screaming …. ‘get me out of here’ during those times that you’re finding it tough being an entrepreneur.

There’s 148,000,000 websites that pop up when you type in ‘To be wealthy’ in good old Google.

Compare that to 803,000,000 results for ‘Don’t want to be poor’.

What does that tell you?

Many more people focus on the negative instead of the positive!

That’s truly scary because your mind is just like a search engine. So what are you asking your internal Google, Alexa or Siri?

Be honest, when you’re talking or speaking to yourself in your head (don’t worry … we all do it), is your focus more on what you want to happen vs. what you don’t want to happen?

How is that impacting your results & business growth?

In this week’s short podcast episode, I’ll bring to life even more about the power of being deliberate & more selective with your focus.

You’ll hear me share some real-life stories about some of the common ways business owners are sabotaging their success …. without even realising it.

Technology … I absolutely love it!

I’m like a kid in a sweetie shop when I walk inside an Apple Store.

Remember the days of dial up internet … or even no internet!! How did we ever live & seriously how did businesses operate without technology?

But you know something, gadgets & new shiny things can also get in our way & negatively impact our business.

You heard me right … sometimes we think that we need to go all ‘fancy pants’ to grow your business & can abandon the ‘old school’ ways that were working well for us.

In today’s podcast episode, I’ll share some real-life examples of how technology risked slowing growth down for me & my clients.

You’ll also get to hear why my client last week said, ‘Osmaan, you sound just like my wife!’, when I was helping him focus on short term business strategy.

After you tune in, I’m sure you’ll start to fall back in love with some of those basics that could still work really well for you.

You’ll also see why I’m definitely not anti-technology or against moving with the times. I’m the first one to freak out when the internet goes down for even a few minutes!! But it’s definitely about striking the balance.

My heart would start to race whilst tucking into my Weetabix every Monday morning, in the Marks & Spencer staff canteen.

Because I knew that I’d soon be stuck in a long commercial meeting with all the store management team.

Why did I hate it so much? Because the meeting was focused upon sales figures & numbers.

And I’d stare at the massive spreadsheet in front of me trying to make sense of what it all meant & especially the numbers that I needed to report on, like absence rates & costs.

I couldn’t quite understand why I had that reaction week in & week out …. because I got great grades in Maths at school & even studied Maths in the first year of university.

I only figured it out when I went on my first NLP course. 

Guess where it stemmed from …. from one event when I was a little boy & couldn’t quite get my head around a something to do with money.

In that memory, I then heard myself say ‘ohh this just doesn’t make sense’ & felt really stupid.

And that one event had a ripple effect from that moment on. Especially when it came to all things to do with money & numbers that related to commercial figures … like sales & targets!

I was carrying around emotional baggage from the past & not even realising the impact it was having on me in terms of my role in business.

So why I am sharing this with you?

Because I see emotional baggage from the past getting in the way for so many business owners …. and they don’t realise it!

But the good news is that it’s pretty easy to let go of, so it stops having such a negative impact on you & your business.

In this week’s podcast episode, I dive into this in more detail for you.  You’ll get to hear just how much your mind is working on autopilot & using your past to determine your current reality & then as a result …. your future.

You’ll get to see practical ways to realise if you may have some past emotional baggage lurking away in the background but is holding you & your business back. Plus how you can kiss goodbye to it.

The good news is that I get excited about all things to do with sales figures & targets now … especially when I see my clients smash their targets.

Resistance.

Yeah it can feel like a pain in the rear end & that it’s slowing you down.

But be thankful when it shows up for you, because it really can be a good thing.

The thing is, it wants and needs your attention.

If you just ignore it, guess what will end up happening … it won’t just be that tiny whisper or nagging feeling anymore, it’ll show up shouting & screaming in different ways.

Why does it happen?

Often it’s to tell you that enough is enough, you’re now coasting & it’s time for some change.

Or to remind you that even though you’re on the right track, you don’t have to make business or life this hard & can do things differently.

It could be because you’re scared of it not working …. or ironically scared of it actually working!

Resistance is a complicated beast, but when you know how to listen to it, you can tame it & truly benefit from it.

So in this week’s podcast episode, I share practical ways for you to really get under the skin of what your resistance is trying to tell you & them importantly what to do with it.

From my own personal experience, it’s been the times of resistance that has led me to doing what I’m doing right now ….. but I also kick myself when I think back to how much I resisted or tried to ignore it in the past. (I share more about this on the podcast).

Enjoy & I hope you enjoy dancing with your resistance in the future instead of trying to play hide & seek!
