This can have far reach effects upon the way we live and develop. Emotional intelligence is not officially taught, and yet it is one of the most important and formative traits in life. Men, especially, are simply ushered towards a stereotypical, societal shape of what life should look like. When they do not conform, the results can be devastating. Finding your moral compass is about battling internally with yourself, studying the results of these battles, and fighting harder and more fiercely the next time. Empowering yourself is about honing the art of giving power to those empowering thoughts. Eventually, they will win out against the more destructive tendencies. BEST MOMENTS  'When you get labelled that isn't good. People hear your label and that's all they hear' 'We don't get taught to nurture our emotions' 'I wanted more from my life, but I kept falling back into the same difficult situations' 'I started getting good at having that battle with myself' 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 ... How To Fix It Fast! - https://www.scaleupmastermind.com/free-guide1 Take the SUYB Predictable Growth Assessment™, to measure your current business performance and show you where to focus next to get to where you want to be: https://scaleup.vip/PredictableGrowthAssessment      Lewis Raymond Taylor - https://lewisraymondtaylor.com ABOUT THE HOST  Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

For those of you who have hit the 7 figure growth target, Nick is here this week to share the five things you need to know in order to reach that elusive 8 figures in 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 Hitting 8 figures in revenue opens up a whole new world of opportunities. It makes businesses easier to sell, and attracts a certain level of interest. Only 20% of businesses doing under 10 million in revenue actually sell when the time comes. This means 8 out of 10 do not sell. Predictability of revenue is vital. You need a machine driving leads and conversion. Something that offers value to your client or customer in terms of a conversation. BEST MOMENTS  'Mass transferability of value tends to happen when you reach plus-8 figures' '70% of your net worth is locked in your business' 'You can turn the dial up or down accordingly' 'The key to predictability is advertising' 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 ... How To Fix It Fast! - https://www.scaleupmastermind.com/free-guide1 Take the SUYB Predictable Growth Assessment™, to measure your current business performance and show you where to focus next to get to where you want to be: https://scaleup.vip/PredictableGrowthAssessment      ABOUT THE HOST  Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

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 becomes far more liberating when we reframe each moment in life as a challenge from which we can draw learnings. Development comes faster if we refuse to adhere to one type of problem solving, and instead adapt ourselves to suit the problem. When you are presented with a problem, instead of diving straight in, always take time to reflect upon the best way of tackling it. When you are in a flow state, it provides a sense of euphoria and presence. It allows us to become far more connected to ourself. BEST MOMENTS 'Seeing the world as a puzzle has improved my life' 'The key to life is being much more flexible in your thinking' 'Ask yourself - is there a better way to do this?'

Many see the exit from their businesses as the chance to achieve freedom, but as Nick explains in this week's edition of wisdom, there may be another way to get there without selling your 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  Kiyosaki's Quadrant Of Freedom involves: E - Employee, S - Self-Employed, B - Business Owner, I - Investor. If you are working in a business, the first thing you can do change your trajectory is to become a manager. This gives you a slightly increased freedom. The next rung to climb is to an executive position. The number one reason for a business failing to sell, is that the seller gets cold feet right at the very end. If you have planned in advance, and have had the exit in mind the whole time, then it removes the emotional connection at this crucial time. BEST MOMENTS 'Freedom can be achieved in different ways' 'You can start to see where that first tranche of freedom can become available to you' 'When you become a business owner, you become the owner of a system' 'The way to become a great CEO is to make sure you're not doing any of the work' 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 ... How To Fix It Fast! - https://www.scaleupmastermind.com/free-guide1 Take the SUYB Predictable Growth Assessment™, to measure your current business performance and show you where to focus next to get to where you want to be: https://scaleup.vip/PredictableGrowthAssessment      ABOUT THE HOST  Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

Not just do they encroach on our decision-making abilities when we need them, they also affect our literal physicality. Life is a mirror when it comes to emotional response. In business, when it comes to teams, they will feel a mirror of the way that you feel, and vice versa. Often, those in positions of success and power are under far more pressure than those whose businesses may be failing. It is success that grows pressure and chaos in life. The great ones are those who recognise this and handle it. If you do not find the root cause of trauma and deal with it there, then you are doomed to repeat the fallout again and again in life. BEST MOMENTS 'The physicality comes through from the emotional experience' 'I knew that the mind-body connection was real' 'I'm not into conflict resolution, I'm into conflict evolution' 'It's the success that breeds the chaos, not the 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 ... How To Fix It Fast! - https://www.scaleupmastermind.com/free-guide1 Take the SUYB Predictable Growth Assessment™, to measure your current business performance and show you where to focus next to get to where you want to be: https://scaleup.vip/PredictableGrowthAssessment      Dr Alok Trivedi - https://drrewire.com ABOUT THE HOST  Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

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 Working on business owner should never be just about the skill set. It should also provide clarity about their belief system and mindset. You can always evolve, grow and diversify your investment portfolio, but it's far better to focus on your own lane - your own area of expertise. When it comes to coaching, it's not so much about providing answers that didn't exist before. It's about encouraging the answers to come from within, where they have always been. Exits are not centred around time, but centred around the result. Brokers and banks are only there for the actual exit. They want the deal done, more than they want the best deal for you. BEST MOMENTS 'It's important when I work with someone to be able to work on them, to change and improve and challenge their belief systems' 'I'm an investor in small business acquisitions' 'You need someone else who can help you get to the answer' 'This is not time based. This is outcome based' 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 ... How To Fix It Fast! - https://www.scaleupmastermind.com/free-guide1 Take the SUYB Predictable Growth Assessment™, to measure your current business performance and show you where to focus next to get to where you want to be: https://scaleup.vip/PredictableGrowthAssessment      ABOUT THE HOST  Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

We accept obstacles as more simplified Breakthroughs come in the tailwind of challenge. The greatest lessons learned are the ones that come following a period of struggle and reflection. People love travelling because it forces them to see the world in an all-new way - the same way that a child sees their environment. we need to embrace the beauty in everything. We never outgrow our teachers, we simply recognise when our paths diverge from those we have followed.

We can definitely become tired from having to make too many decisions. In fact, the more choices we have to make can negatively affect our energy reserves. In this episode, Nick talks you through the concept itself, and offers actionable ways in which you can prevent it from impacting you. 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 Decision fatigue is compounded by the fact that we often have too many things going on. If we have too much choice, it can leave us paralysed and then impact our ability to make decisions. Our brains only have a limited store of energy. When we make decisions, this energy depletes, thereby negatively impacting our ability to effectively operate. Plan daily decisions the night before. This means that when you wake up refresh in the morning, half of your brain's work is done ahead of time. Stop making decisions, and think in terms of commitments. Rather than hoping you'll make the right choice each day, simply commit to the larger aims. BEST MOMENTS 'It can impact our ability to make high quality decisions' 'Your willpower is like a muscle' 'There are more and more things thrown at us all the time.
