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.

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. BEST MOMENTS 'The arena of what I call The Peaceful Warrior way is everyday life for all of us' 'Trying implies tension, which makes everything harder' 'You don't really fail at anything unless you give up on it' 'Spirituality gets tricky after a while.

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. We have to shut them out in order to make space to make decisions' 'I want you to simplify all the things you're look at so that you can make higher quality decisions' 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.

Nothing is more precious than knowledge. It's far better to arrive at the end of your life with no regrets, having achieved everything you wanted to, than to spend time worrying about what others might think of us. When you find the purpose that lights you up more than ay other, it spurs you on, pushes you higher, accelerates your desire to reach that goal. Whatever you go through, whatever you experience, whatever obstacles you face in life, they all provide learnings and gifts. Sometimes the value doesn't present itself until much later, but time will allow you to recognise eventually. BEST MOMENTS  'There's nothing more powerful than the right message delivered at the right moment to the right person' 'What's worse, a friend thinking you're crazy or the end of your life seeing a video of the person you could have been?'

Recession is on every business owner's mind right now, and fortifying yourself against the expected downturn in the economies is a wise step. With this in mind, Nic takes this opportunity to talk about the types of businesses that thrive during these periods, and the elements you can adapt to your own business in order to make sure that your organisation thrives also.

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 must always use a positive outlook for our business, as this encourages growth. But we must also focus upon contingencies. We need to fortify. The best practice is always to ensure that we have at least six months' worth of operating costs in reserve for our business. We cannot affect the larger economic picture, which is largely influenced by the media and the public's reaction to circumstances. All we can control is our own business response. Industries that did well in the Great Recession of 2008 include discount retailers, healthcare, food and restaurants, freight and logistics, and the do-it-yourself markets.

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 Losing the will to push ourselves harder is natural. The best way to overcome this is by not punishing ourselves and keeping our eyes on the prize. Everyone's route to success is different. Some have a rigid path planned, while others take a "loose guard rails" approach. You need to find what works for you. Accountability is a great inspirer and motivator. If we have to explain our lack of movement to others, it creates disappointment. Avoiding this by fulfilling our goals is key. The way to not just raise your game, but sustain your position at the top, is to consistently blend and marry humility with confidence, and focus on the fundamentals. BEST MOMENTS 'You need to recruit an inner circle of people who are going to hold you accountable foe the things you said you were going to do' 'We don't like to disappoint people who mean something to us' 'The key to not only performance and success, but happiness and fulfilment, is to do more of what works - do less of what doesn't' 'There is tremendous overlap between raising your game and sustaining your game' 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      Alan Stein Jr - https://alansteinjr.com ABOUT THE HOST   Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

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 ... 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 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.

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 ... 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.
