S3E15: How To Use Personality Tests To Become A Better Business Owner
This podcast will show you exactly how to use personality testing to become a far better business owner.
I’ll be showing you the exact process I use to help entrepreneurs and business owners become a better version of themselves and therefore create a more profitable business that gives them more freedom.
Let’s cut to the chase. You’ve probably done a few personality tests before.
You hear about them on a podcast or curiosity just drives you there. You find a good one, spend 20 minutes filling it out and then what?
You get the results and they’re kind of interesting. But what do you actually do with the information?
Most of the time, you just store it somewhere in the back of your mind or forget about it entirely. Ultimately, you end up with a great resource but no idea what to do with it.
Therefore you end up in exactly the same place as you were previously.
This is a massive waste of an opportunity.
If you understand your personality at depth, and you understand how it will both positively and negatively impact you, you can put together a plan for overcoming the shortfalls which are unique to you.
You can also lean into your strengths aggressively to pursue your dreams.
A deep understanding of your personality, and a plan of personal growth tailored to you, will help you break through your current limitations in your business and wider life.
We’re going to cover:
Which personality tests actually work, and where to find them
How to interpret your results
Plans for balancing out your weaknesses

S3E13: Stoicism Applied
Today I’m going to teach you 4 lessons from Stoicism that I impart to my highest performing clients to take them to their next level of lifestyle design and success.
First, know there are four main contributors to your mindset. Physiology, psychology, beliefs, and your personal philosophy.
It’s the final one that we will focus on today. The objective in developing your personal philosophy is to live consciously and intentionally according to a set of values.
Without this, you will be constantly pushed around by the winds of fortune: a “wandering generality” as one of my clients calls it.
When you live by a philosophy, you can banish so much of your second guessing that currently weighs you down.
You can also streamline your decision making, and accelerate your progress toward personal growth, and real-world success.
I’ve been researching, applying, and coaching philosophy for a decade now. Stoicism is by far the most effective school of thought for success in today’s world, and comes with ready made frameworks that take away a lot of the guesswork.
If your goal is to create more freedom and success through mastering yourself, and living a good life is important to you also, Stoicism is your starting point.
I’m going to share with you the 4 most powerful tools from Stoicism that will help you level up. They also happen to be the 4 tools I give to my clients over and over that have the greatest impact.
I’ll share how to:
Maintain positivity and belief whatever the challenge
Make huge progress on your biggest struggle
Find more calm and centredness in everyday life
Develop insane discipline and focus

S3E11: 5 Game-Changing Frameworks to Break Your Old Patterns & Create More Freedom
If you want to create change in the way you run your business, and the lifestyle it gives you, you have to change the way you think about it.
So many of my clients come to me when they’ve been stuck in the same way of thinking for years.
They’ve been running into the same kind of glass ceiling for years, and they’re ready to make change.
To create the change they want, they need to flip the way they think about the problem.
Over the years, I’ve discovered 5 frameworks that help entrepreneurs and business owners completely shift the way they are thinking about their biggest problems and take huge steps toward the lifestyle they seek.
In this podcast, I’m going to show you the strategies I use to help my clients:
Overcome self-sabotage
Start prioritising the correct tasks

S3E07: Loneliness - The Hidden Struggle of High-Performing Business Owners
Most of the entrepreneurs and business owners I work with are lonely.
They get up early, and never really switch off from their work. Their partner loves them but doesn’t really understand. Their mates have real jobs.
What’s more, what they’re pursuing is difficult, and what is difficult is inherently lonely.
You are bombarded with self-doubt and questioning, and that compounds the loneliness.
When you do something difficult with your life, loneliness will strike.
Which would be fine if it didn’t completely derail you from your goals by leaving you second guessing your choices.
Loneliness isn’t just a shitty way to feel though. Loneliness is an inhibitor of your goals.
The irony is, you and I, us seekers of freedom, desire independence, but that independence often sacrifices connection.
