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 are built to adapt to our environments. If we place ourselves among challenging circumstances, then we can either overcome and thrive, or be defeated. When we focus on our value system and concentrate on just the things that are most important to us, then it forces us to drop extraneous distractions and get rid of the baggage that holds us back. If we put ourselves out into the world, and keep our honesty about who we are, then we are far more likely to attract the things that we're truly in search of. Far too many people accept mediocrity and remain in their comfort zone. But life is not about relaxing and accepting that. It's about listening to the voice of our hearts and following the direction in which it takes us. BEST MOMENTS 'You can be a stronger and better version of yourself' 'You need to truly refine your value system and what's important to you in your life' 'Life is about working out how to pare things down' 'I ask people if they want to be part of changing the world' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community 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    Chris Duffin - https://christopherduffin.com ABOUT THE HOST  Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

With the end of the year in sight, it's a period where many will reflect upon the achievements and milestones reached across the past 365 days. But as Nick explains in this week's show, it's also a time to look at the year ahead. It's a time to think about the ways in which you can achieve exponential growth and have the best possible 2022 for your business and life.

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 Those who achieve the most in life and business are those who set goals. These become habits, which influence behaviour and provide a structure that allows them to grow effortlessly. All people can have vision, but unless they execute a plan to move towards it, and take action in order to reach that vision, it will never be a reality. Use SMART goals in order to maximise impact - Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-bound After setting goals, we need to prioritise them in terms of what we want our year to look like. Do the thing that is the most challenging first. BEST MOMENTS 'The people who achieve what they want to achieve in life - they set goals' 'The vision is what you want to create' 'If you start commit to habits, then those habits will quickly turn into behaviours' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community 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.

Anthony Trucks is a former NFL Athlete, American Ninja Warrior on NBC, international speaker, host of the Aww Shift podcast, and the founder of Identity Shift coaching. Anthony joins Nick to discuss his mission in life - to help others to understand their past and present so as to shift their identity and elevate their life and 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  Your failure or your success is determined by your identity, and you are only one shift away from creating your ultimate life. Success is about matching our identity to the dreams we have and the goals we pursue. If we can change our identity to match our vision, then success can be realised. When we suffer from setbacks or shame, we tend to want to seclude ourselves further - to silo away from the world. If we don't like ourselves, then seclusion only makes this state worse. If we can find a way to love the small things in life, and positively anticipate their effects upon others, then no job is a task. BEST MOMENTS 'I like to make sure that everyone else has fun with me - that's the goal' 'If you don't have an identity that matches the dream, then the dream doesn't get realised' 'Sometimes you might like where you're headed, but you don't like the speed' 'The destination is the journey' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community 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    Anthony Trucks - https://anthonytrucks.com ABOUT THE HOST  Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

Nick is joined by Steve Sims, known as the “real life Wizard Of Oz”, and a man renowned for turning the impossible into the possible. Steve talks about the art of problem solving, with a specific focus upon how to attract not just the clients we need in order to keep our businesses thriving and growing, but the ones we want most to work with. 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 The art of entrepreneurship is to identify a problem that is being underserved and create a solution that works not just for us, but for the world at large. Far too many businesses overcomplicate their offerings and thereby reduce their own appeal. This is usually down to fear and lack of confidence. In order to best appeal to the customers we want, we ned to put ourselves firmly in their shoes and solve the problem with empathy and consideration. BEST MOMENTS 'We find other people who have got that problem and then sell them the solution!' 'When COVID happened you had the opportunity to say "was this done to me, or was this done for me?"' 'Selling a million dollar house takes the same amount of effort as selling a ten million dollar house' VALUABLE RESOURCES  Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community 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    Steve Sims - https://www.stevedsims.com ABOUT THE HOST  Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

Mel Abraham is dedicated to a new way of thinking and a new way of life, of helping others to pave the road to financial independence and affluence through entrepreneurship, and by doing so, helping to leave legacies that live longer than we ever could. In this episode, Mel talks to Nick about his empowering story of resilience, the ways in which you can create true affluence and wealth, as well as his incredible book 'The Entrepreneur's Solution: The Modern Millionaire's Path To More Profit, Fans and Freedom' 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 People choose a path that often brings disillusion and a lack of fulfilment, but then choose to stay on that path, believing that the choice is a one time offer. It's never too late to change for the better. We make the greatest difference by using our legacies and positivity to connect at a meaningful level, and using our business, services and ideals to impact lives. Financial success is not necessarily about the acquisition of more. By constantly chasing the next dollar we can lose our connection to what makes us truly satisfied. Creating plans is not about making one rigid structure. It is about creating several different approaches so that we mentally store alternative routes in the mind. BEST MOMENTS 'When they tell me I can't do something I say "Let me show you"' 'We are all placed here to create a legacy' 'We lose our connection to contentment. We lose our connection to what's important' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community 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    Mel Abraham - https://melabraham.com ABOUT THE HOST  Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

Life has changed drastically for many in the wake of the tumultuous world events since 2020, but we must remember that while we cannot control much of what has taken place, we can control the way we feel about things. In this episode, Nick talks about the power of words themselves, and how by gaining mastery over the words we use, especially internally, we can positively impact our environment and the life we live. 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 We need to speak to ourselves in empowering ways, even in moments that may seem trivial at first. Positive reinforcement from within helps us to take more positive action. We often filter our speech so as not to come across in certain ways to certain people, and yet we do not seem to naturally grant ourselves this privilege. If you have big goals and big ambitions, then this can present a string of challenges. Therefore, we should endeavour not to bring extraneous external challenge to ourselves. Examine the habits and routines that drive your behaviours. An effective practice is to keep a journal and be as honest as possible, taking out your inner thoughts and externalising them. BEST MOMENTS  'Words have more power than maybe you appreciate' 'The things that you say and what you think, becomes real' 'You've got to take control of the words and communication in your head' 'Fear is something that is created'  VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community 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.

Zach Bitter is an American ultramarathon runner who holds world records for the 100-mile run and the 12-hour run. As one of the planet's greatest athletes, there are few who know better how to achieve excellence through hard work, discipline and determination. In this episode Zach talks about his incredible athletic career, his subsequent coaching activities and the ways in which he is helping new generations of runners to go from beginner to advanced, regardless of experience or their starting point and lifestyle.

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 There are huge parallels between what can be achieved in business and what we achieve in other areas of life. Countless lessons can be carried over from the world of self-development, and into the world of entrepreneurship. Developing consistency and performing at a high volume is the key to building our resilience, allowing us to move gradually towards bigger and bigger targets and goals. Optimisation is about being persistently diligent and performing constant analysis upon ourselves. By doing so we can incrementally tweak and adjust until we find our optimal setting. It's far better to focus on delivering quality when you put your message out into the world. By trying to be everywhere your message can sometimes become diluted, and you can misplace the reason why you began in the first place. BEST MOMENTS 'One conversation, heard at the right time, can change everything' 'That consistency, and doing it at a high volume, is conducive to really developing that lower-end intensities' 'You make slight tweaks and you make them individual to you, and that's when you find your sweet spot' 'I remember looking at my splits and thinking okay, if I maintain this pace then I'll break the American record by six or seven minutes...'

This week, Nick talks about a strategy known as "The Digital Marketing Trifecta", made up of three elements - earned, owned and paid - and how it can provide you with not just the tools for growth, but also with the most comprehensive marketing strategy out there.

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 Earned is the stage whereby you are putting content out into the world, and building your brand. You are driving people towards you and your business through the content that you are creating. Owned represents your "list" - the literal names of those who have connected with your content and have given over their details to you in exchange for a deeper level of connection. Paid is the act of receiving payment for your work. This can come from display advertising, re-targeting, paying influencers, paid content promotion, and also from affiliates. BEST MOMENTS 'If you're going to grow and scale a business strategically, you can't do it on poor foundations' 'You've never had a better time in history to be able to go out there and share your message' 'It's about having a strategy around each of them, if you're going to leverage the most comprehensive digital marketing strategy possible' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community 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.

This week, Nick is joined by tech entrepreneur, New York Times bestselling author, and keynote speaker, Josh Linkner, a man on a mission to drive creativity, innovation, and reinvention. Josh discusses his belief that all human beings have incredible creative capacity, and talks about the ways in which you can unlock your own latent innovation genius in order to grow and scale your business.

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 A creative troublemaker is someone who is unwilling to accept the status quo in the world - someone who is always looking to break free of the norms and see what is possible beyond them. Leadership used to be viewed as the conductor in an orchestra leading his musicians in the pursuit of perfection. But the world has changed. It's a world where the chaotic can be embraced. Creativity comes not just in traditional means, but in all aspects of business, from the way we hire, to the way we structure financially, from the way we approach deals to the culture we establish. The inherent flaw in brainstorming is that our inhibitions sometimes shut us down. To fix this we need to practice "role storming", the art of brainstorming in character - pretending to be someone else while coming up with ideas. BEST MOMENTS 'The confidence comes from knowing you're going to screw things up multiple times, but you figure out how to course correct' 'The fastest breakthroughs always happen when you're working in a group of top performers' 'We need to think of ourselves as jazz musicians where you're trading the baton of leadership' 'The company that projects as innovative gets all the things that in turn create real value' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community 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   Josh Linkner Twitter - https://twitter.com/joshlinkner Josh Linkner - https://joshlinkner.com ABOUT THE HOST  Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.
