Evan Carmichael On Why You Need To Believe

To kick off this powerful new season of the show, Nick talks to Evan Carmichael, a speaker, author, self-professed introvert, and fierce proponent of the principle that we can all be who we want to be if we put our minds to it. Evan has been described by Gary Vaynerchuk as the "DJ Of Inspiration", while Ed Millett has called him "The Modern Day Napoleon Hill", and Forbes have named him as one of the word's Top 40 Social Marketing Talents. In this extraordinary conversation Nick digs deep into Evan's mission - to solve what he describes as the world's biggest problem: that people do not believe in themselves enough. It's an inspiring discussion centring on focus, discipline, and most importantly, belief. 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 Finding your purpose in life comes from the pain points that you'd like to solve in your own life. There are people out there suffering from the problems you can solve, and they need your guidance.  When we meet challenge and find ourselves defeated, then we have to find another way around in order to defeat it. It's far better to think differently and find another solution, rather than live with the regret of having never conquered. Consistency is the key to growth, but many fall victim to overwhelm and burnout. The key is to find a topic that lights your fire, one that appeals directly to your passion. And always try to connect directly to the audience you have instead of the one you don't have yet. If all you do is chase an opportunity that you don't love, you'll end up losing in the end because eventually you'll find yourself up against people who do love it. You find your next truly successful venture in the intersection between what you love and where opportunity lies. BEST MOMENTS 'Your purpose comes from your pain' 'There are millions of people who are currently who you used to be, and they need your help' 'I want to serve, so even though I'm introverted and shy, I still have a message' 'The most successful entrepreneurs are the ones who love the process of what they're doing' 'I focus on who I have instead of who I don't' 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 Evan Carmichael - https://believe.evancarmichael.com/homepage Evan Carmichael Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/evancarmichael/?hl=en Evan Carmichael Twitter - https://twitter.com/EvanCarmichael Evan Carmichael YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKmkpoEqg1sOMGEiIysP8Tw ABOUT THE HOST  Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

How To Overcome Failures & Setbacks - With Warwick Fairfax

How do you go back from failure and build a life of purpose and significance? Nick is in conversation with a man who has done just that, Warwick Fairfax Founder of Crucible Leadership grew up as the heir to a multi-generational media group but following his takeover, the company failed and as Warwick explains it was a crucible moment in his life because ultimately things don’t happen to you, they happen for you In this compelling listen, he candidly discusses the lessons he learnt and  how he found his purpose along with success and significance because crucible moments in life are tough but they don’t have to be the end of your story 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 I didn’t grow up wondering what I was going to do in life it was always set for me With hindsight as soon as I launched the takeover, it was doomed to fail I didn’t listen to the good advice, people said it was a bad idea but because I didn’t want to hear it I didn’t listen and went to the people who told me what I wanted to hear I felt as I was in a gilded cage and when it ended it was very painful. Things don’t happen to you, they happen for you Wealth doesn’t make you happy, there is no number that will make you happy but if you use money to help others it changes everything We are only fulfilled when we serve a bigger purpose, a higher cause or serve others Significance can be defined as  a life of purpose dedicated to serving others, this is about a higher purpose Most businesses that have long term success have an aspect of altruism If you want to be successful long term you need to tie your vision to doing something that will make an impact in the world and links to your values  and beliefs I’m a great believer that a life of significance will not only make you feel more fulfilled it will in the long term it will make you more successful The crucible moment for me was losing a 150-year-old two-billion-dollar business and the process of coming back was drop of grace by drop of grace, brick by brick Understand your  values and beliefs and find a calling that fits with that In the business world, people don’t like talking about failure but its real and people connect with it The smart entrepreneurs are the ones who learn from their mistakes and want to do it better next time BEST MOMENTS ‘I went there and did exactly what you shouldn’t be doing’ ‘Success and significance are not at odds with each other they can be in harmony’ ‘Your life is not defined by your worst day or mistake’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up Your Business – scaleup.vip/podcast Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community Take the 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 Scale Up Your Business Global Crucible Leadership https://www.linkedin.com/in/warwick-fairfax-8902081 ABOUT THE HOST  Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

Selling Your Business For Maximum Value - With John Warrillow

John Warrillow founder of The Value Builder System and best-selling author talks to Nick about what it takes to build a value business for exit He discusses the nuances that really make the difference to acquirers and why top-line revenue is important but only one of the metrics that make the difference when selling a business This is a masterclass in understanding more about the elements that are valued by acquirers and how to effectively position your business when selling it 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’ve moved away from the transaction model to the reoccurring business model and this is reflected in the valuations of companies Low debt and low-interest rates currently mean there will continue to be pressure upwards The Value Builder System is driven by eight unique metrics which are proven to be important to acquirers Top line revenue growth is important but there are other metrics that make a difference Most SME’s sell lots of things to a small number of people, the valuable SME’s sell a few things to lots of people Growth potential is important because it’s about what the company can become in the future The Switzerland structure is about the company not being dependant on a particular supplier or customer The point to sell a company is when you reach the freedom point. The desire for personal freedom and independence is a common underlying thread The reasons owners regret making a sale are focused around push factors such as illness, you need to offset your push factors with pull factors Pull factors are the things you want to do when you have exited the business When you have lots of pull factors valuation is not the dominant factor When an acquirer purchases a business they write two cheques, one to you and one to fund the working capital of the business Having a positive cash flow cycle is an important part of the picture when selling a business BEST MOMENTS ‘We are part of the subscription economy now’ ‘If you sell a few things to lots of people you can build a valuable company’ ‘The acquirer is toeing the start line of their journey when you are looking to exit they are looking to grow’ ‘Savvy sellers are thinking about the narrative of their company’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up Your Business – scaleup.vip/podcast Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community Take the 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 BUILT TO SELL RESOURCES Built to Sell Scale Up Your Business Resources ABOUT THE HOST  Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

Become The Leader You Would Follow - With Scott Jeffrey Miller

Nick is in conversation with Scott Jeffery Miller, leadership maestro, multi bestselling author, podcast host, leadership coach and global keynote speaker. In the world today every business is both a people company and a technology company so getting the leadership and the culture right has never been more important and now as the world moves forward again everyone is reassessing what’s important to them with people wanting meaningful work in a winning team within a culture of trust Nick and Scott discuss how in any business you need to begin with the right leaders, those who understand that their job is to achieve results within and through other people, if you want to create a culture of trust that people want to work in. 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 don’t quit their jobs they quit bad bosses and corrupt cultures Culture is the way the vast majority of people behave most of the time. Culture is how we get stuff done and is everything People are not the most important asset in a company it’s the relationships between those people that form the culture. It’s always about the relationships To build culture you need to get very clear on the behaviours you want to see  exhibited and the decisions how people treat each other Leaders are the lynchpin of every culture so you need to start with the behaviour and mindset of your leaders To be an effective leader you need to understand that it’s your job to achieve results within, through other people, you have to build capability in others There is a difference between efficient and effective. You cannot be efficient with people, you can only be effective Most of us spend our lives fulfilling the identities others put on us, your job is to go out and create your own identity Vulnerability is being confident enough to talk about what you do and don’t know so that   others are encouraged to do this as well Humble leaders are more concerned with what is right rather than being right There is a new type of leadership that is about being relatable and having the vulnerability to be confident enough to share what they know and what they don’t know Great leaders love their people enough to have a high courage conversation, with some diplomacy, to save people from themselves BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s a group of unimpeachably trustworthy  people who are passionate about changing the world’ ‘When you have the right people with the right mindset in leadership it’s much easier to get fifteen hundred others to follow’ ‘What cannot be replicated is culture, people come to companies and stay with companies because of the culture’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up Your Business – scaleup.vip/podcast Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community Take the 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 Scott Jeffrey Miller ABOUT THE HOST  Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.
