When you want to succeed as much as you want to breathe then you will succeed You have to be there consistently if you want to see the opportunities In life, momentum is one of the hardest things to achieve and one of the easiest things to lose. Clubhouse has given me the opportunity to have 400 to 500 accountability partners If something is coming up you need to face it and put in the preparation Those who are successful are those who are consistent and put in the work If your life isn’t where you want to be you need to make the changes to get to where you want to be.

Why Startups Fail – with Tom Eisenmann from Harvard Business School
Tom Eisenmann is a professor at Harvard Business School teaching entrepreneurship and is the author of ‘The Fail-Safe Startup’ He discusses his book and the stages a business goes through in its creation along with the potential challenges across the start-up period. Bringing together the value proposition, the go-to-market plan, the technology and operations along with a cash flow formula are all elements that need to work together dynamically and Tom and Nick discuss all things startup and share great examples in this informative episode that is a must-listen for any entrepreneur. 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 ideas and validating the concept is the first stage for any business followed by bringing together all the resources required An entrepreneur is someone who pursues an idea without all the resources initially Resource mobilisation and exploring the opportunity go side by side When you have a product-market then you can start to scale Big company people in start-ups can interrupt the rhythm Entrepreneurs can be so focused on getting ahead they skip the up-front market research. Customer discovery before you engineer the product is a better approach Your success with early adopters of your product may not be replicated with mainstream customers Every entrepreneur needs early adopters but mainstream customers will require marketing spend. If you are in an industry that requires expertise you need to make sure you or someone in your team has the expertise necessary. Make sure you do the upfront research and be aware that the success with early adopters may not be indicative of a mainstream customer. One of the hardest decisions as an entrepreneur is knowing when to shut down If the odds of turning it around are increasingly small and you aren’t enjoying it then it’s time to shut down gracefully. Having failed you can learn from the experience and move forward. BEST MOMENTS ‘For some people, an idea will just pop into their minds for those there is a search’ ‘In a start-up, you have to make things happen’ ‘Entrepreneurs are often like Peter Pan and don’t want to grow up’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up Your Business – scaleup.vip/podcast Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community Take the Six Peaks of Value Creation Scorecard, to measure your current business performance and show you where to focus to get to where you want to be: https://scaleup.vip/sixpeaks The Fail-Safe Startup - Tom Eisenmann ABOUT THE HOST Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

A Fireside Chat – Change and transformation with Lee Houghton
Nick talks with Lee Houghton, change and transformation coach and host of the ‘Business Problems Solved’ podcast. They discuss their journeys and following a pivotal event in Lee’s life the three key life lessons that he applies in all areas of life on both a macro and a micro-level. People are key to everything and as we all move towards a different landscape for working leading change and transformation in a way that enables people to be themselves and communicate freely in a positive environment is a model for change that encompasses Lee’s key life lessons. 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 Sometimes things happen in life that you don’t want, you can’t change what happens but you can change your response I’ve had the most random journey to get to where I am, but every experience has been a learning opportunity. Always be yourself whatever happens – your values are the foundation of who you are. Make good friends because you never know when you might need them - it’s vital to make connections in every area of your life. Times limited, act now – if you really want to do something you’ll start straight away I learnt that when I’m at my darkest I begin to write and am most creative. I’m frustrated that I had to lose Chris to understand these three vital lessons. Any event can be deemed neutral it’s the response that is either positive or negative I have a burning desire to share Chris’s three lessons with as many people as I can. It’s about enabling everyone to be themselves, to be able to speak freely in a positive environment and get where they want to go. There is a lot of assessment required in business as people will not go back to work in the same way. The idea that people can be effective working from home is forcing a systemic change. As a leader, you should have the emotional intelligence to understand everyone is different and will experience change in different ways and times. The most important characteristics for any leader are confidence and empathy.

How To Close Every Deal - with Spencer Lodge
Spencer Lodge, founder of the Blue Sky Thinking Group and host of ‘The Spencer Lodge’ podcast is known as one of the world’s most dynamic trainers and in this episode, he shares great content about the importance of getting a ‘no’ and the value of transparency and honesty in sales. He reflects on his own journey and the events that have defined the direction he has taken and explains why ultimately it’s all about being brave, having belief in yourself and understanding that you need to be able to build rapport and find and solve other people’s problems if you want them to say yes to 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 You are never going to get a ‘yes’ until you understand the importance of getting the ‘no’ People can become so affected and intimidated by rejection; it can paralyse them because they fear what the outcome may be. There are three ways to get prospects – cold call, network and referrals When you are in the mode of taking on new clients and doing more business with existing clients your income can multiply very quickly If people can give you one referral then they can give you three or four referrals if you bring value. Everyone can give referrals because everyone is connected. People need to tell you the problem and then you need to find the right solution If you offer honesty and transparency people are kind if you give them the chance to be Some people have an issue with the ask and this comes back to the fear of rejection The rule of 21 - always have 21 prospects because 7 will say ‘yes, 7 will say ‘no’ and 7 will say ‘maybe’ The problem most companies have is that they believe their salespeople need to be better but 99% of the time it’s the owner and the management that are the issue. In any business, the top 20% are hugely motivated and just need love and recognition The bottom 20% are in the wrong job and should be got rid of and the middle 60% could be good if they are trained as a group and allowed to be successful Every company needs a process and a system that everyone can learn People are people but the way people consume information and create trust with someone else has changed. There are now opportunities to create familiarity and trust with those people you may not have reached previously. BEST MOMENTS ‘When you are in the mode of taking on new clients and doing more business with existing clients your income can multiply very quickly’ ‘In sales, you just have to be brave enough to believe in what you are doing’ ‘There are gazillions of people who have a problem you can solve and you need to make it your mission to find them’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up Your Business – scaleup.vip/podcast Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community Take the Six Peaks of Value Creation Scorecard, to measure your current business performance and show you where to focus to get to where you want to be: https://scaleup.vip/sixpeaks The Spencer Lodge Podcast ABOUT THE HOST Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

There is a difference between acquiring a distressed company for a big discount with a lot of problems and buying a company for what it’s worth and adding value It should always be more money for less work Understanding and being informed about trends is important to help know what you should get involved in Anything that is getting rich quick doesn’t work it’s about playing the long game When you get to eight figures you either triple down and go all-in with your empire and get to a billion or you hedge and diversify and get to nine figures Consumer behaviour has changed to grow strategically you need to work out what the end goal is and work back from there. You have to be good at testing and be prepared to adapt.

15 Minutes To Action - Lessons From Lockdown
In this week's '15 Minutes To Action', Nick reflects upon the lockdown period, how it has affected the business landscape - what we can learn from the last 12-18 months, and what we can take forward as business owners and entrepreneurs. 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 world has gone through unprecedented change, and we must appreciate what it will mean. The system has been altered forever. Being agile really matters. One of the main takeaways from lockdown has been that those who respond and adapt quickly have survived and thrived. We have proved that we can work effectively and efficiently without being in a static place of work, and without having to meet people face to face. People have always seen home as a refuge - an escape from work. With the rise of remote working, this has been re-evaluated. We need to make sure we strike a balance in this new world. BEST MOMENTS 'There is a certain degree of certainty and confidence coming back' 'To reinvent is now a critical component of any business' 'We're seeing entrepreneurs looking at these business trends and coming up with some brilliant business ideas' 'It's going to be interesting to see how people adjust to those different dimensions' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up Your Business – scaleup.vip/podcast Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community Take the Six Peaks of Value Creation Scorecard, to measure your current business performance and show you where to focus to get to where you want to be: https://scaleup.vip/sixpeaks ABOUT THE HOST Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

How To Make A Living With Your Ideas - with B. Jeffrey Madoff
This week, Nick talks to B. Jeffrey Madoff, founder of Madoff Productions, who collaborate with ad agencies, public relations firms and directly with clients to produce commercials, branded content and live streaming events, who's here to discuss the ways in which you can turn your ideas into your living, and how he achieved that very thing! 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 Success is a matter of perspective. Only through experience do we come to realise what really matters, and how we should really define success. Successful people often carry a great deal of humility and credit luck as having facilitated their journey. But hard work is the foundation of every great success. Pioneers recognise the element of every business that's lacking, and take action. Even elements such as the customer experience, if developed and improved, can create a sea change. Those in the creative arts are never taken seriously, in that they are always asked what their back-up plan will be. This is unique to the creative sector. BEST MOMENTS 'The biggest value is placed on relationships, and the value and longevity of those relationships' 'The biggest difference between ignorance and stupidity is that ignorance you can learn and stupidity is forever' 'I saw all the different ways in which I could collaborate with people' 'What separated them from others was that there was something different about the way they did things' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up Your Business – scaleup.vip/podcast Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community Take the Six Peaks of Value Creation Scorecard, to measure your current business performance and show you where to focus to get to where you want to be: https://scaleup.vip/sixpeaks Madoff Productions - https://madoffproductions.com/madoff-productions-jeff-madoff-b-jeffrey-madoff/ B.
