Behind the Business

Listen if you fear failure

Failure is something that we often try to avoid or hide for fear of doing something that didn't work publicly but to have a successful business, you need to be open to failure.
In this episode, I talk about how I view failure and why it's a good thing to fail in my world.
What we chat about:
How I shifted my perspective around failure to be something really cool.
Why I like to fail quickly and often.
Why failure isn't something to be avoided.

I put my to-do lists in the bin

I am one of those people who would use every notebook, planner and system on the planet to try and better organise my business but I was left constantly feeling like I had a million things to do and not enough time to do them all.
So I stopped using them all together and here's what happened!
What we chat about:
Self-trust and what happened when I stopped reminding myself about things I needed to do.
What I did instead of using to-do lists and planners.
Whether or not my organisation was impacted.

Running a business with anxiety

I was diagnosed with anxiety many years ago and while it's mostly under control, it's definitely something I've had to remember when building my business.
While I can only talk about my own personal experience, in this episode I'll go through some of the changes/decisions I made to create a business that supports me (anxiety included!)

Why you shouldn’t say ’I can’t afford it’

If you often say the words 'I can't afford it', you'll definitely want to give this episode a listen! Don't panic, I'm not about to tell you that your financial situation isn't real and encourage you to go pop a sparkly new car on finance and a Gucci bag on a credit card.
Instead, we're talking about the psychology behind those four words themselves and how that might actually be the very thing stopping you from being able to afford the things you want.
What we chat about:
What your brain thinks when you say 'I can't afford it'
Things you can say instead that put you in the driver's seat
Small shifts you can make that will make you feel more positive regardless of whether you purchase the thing or not

Do you want the business or do you just want the results?

If you ever find yourself looking at other people's businesses and wishing you had what they had, it's time to ask yourself whether you want the results that they have, or if you are actually prepared and ready to put in the same amount of effort to get those results.
In this episode, I'll be sharing some tough love that you might just need to hear this week.
What we chat about:
Why you might not have the results you desire yet.
The ups and downs involved in running a business at every level.
Why your comparison might be holding you back.

The reason you aren’t moving forwards

Are you feeling stuck? Perhaps you know you need/want to invest in something but you just don't feel like you're able to. Maybe it's because of your finances, maybe it's timing, or maybe you don't even know why you can't seem to take those big risks.
In this episode, I dive into risk and reward and why the reason you aren't moving forwards probably isn't what you think it is.
What we chat about:
Why people don't turn up for free trainings.
The reason you will never feel like it's the 'right time' because that's not actually the problem.
The psychology behind your resistance to taking risks.
