Encouraging this belief system is the foundation of successful coaching. The best are the ones who are always evolving, changing, growing, and searching for more ways to become better. Improvement begins with self-awareness. The second phase is to understand why we act the way we do. Supplementing this with coaching adds inspiration to go further. Deciding upon who you wish to be, and affirming the place in the world you wish to occupy, is the first step towards determining the ways in which we show up. BEST MOMENTS  'It's not enough to just have insight or accountability. Bringing both together is where the magic happens' 'Coaching today is very future, forward-focussed' 'That insight - those "a-ha" moments - are about understanding' 'You use different techniques to bridge the gap - to provide the pathway' 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       Sarah Fruehling LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/fruehlingcoaching/ Fruehling Coaching - https://fruehlingcoaching.com Fruehling Coaching Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fruehlingcoaching/  ABOUT THE HOST Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

By setting realistic goals and working hard to achieve them, we can inspire and motivate our children to instil that same work ethic in themselves as they grow and develop. Being a present parent is the most important role that we can fulfil in life. If we get the chance to take that role, then we must give our everything to make it a success. The time is limited. We have to break the fears our children have, and give them the will and courage to seize every opportunity. Lives are a series of lessons. First we learn, and then we teach. BEST MOMENTS  'I build my schedule around my children's schedule' 'I want them to understand that if they work their rear off, they're going to achieve those goals' 'I said you're not going to diagnose the future of my son. And that's where the journey started...'

Success is not the endgame. It is the byproduct of aligning all intentions with absolute precision to achieve a number of actions. Focus on what you can affect. We must seek to reduce distractions and stop working on things we cannot truly control. You can achieve more by working on the things that matter. Routines allow us to perform tasks until they become second-nature. by doing this, we make the processes far more efficient. BEST MOMENTS 'You should always be looking to improve. You should always be looking to make incremental gains' 'There's a big difference between success and the achievement of success' 'You've got to have a rigorous intention around goal-setting' 'To create routines that drive optimal performance, you don't want anything clouding you' 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.

It's a meeting of masterminds today as The Business Mastermind Podcast's Gavin Preston meets the Scale Up Your Business Podcast's Nick Bradley, for a reflection upon the year that was 2020 in business, and the opportunities and trends that will make the biggest differences in 2021!

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  2020's effects, for many, showed how many people use different mind-sets in order to deal with change. This has led to a sense of exhaustion in some, but the results have been worthwhile. The upheaval of 2020 has also demonstrated the resilience that many have, but may not have been aware of. It has displayed the strength of will and purpose that many of us had not embraced until it was really required. There is a sense that the world has changed irrevocably forever in terms of business operation and remote working. But in the new world, although remote working will become far more common, there will never be a substitute for face-to-face dealings. It will have its place. Businesses that will leapfrog ahead in 2021 are those with increased adaptability. These are businesses with clarity of direction, flexibility of cost-base and capacity, and creating a pro-change culture. BEST MOMENTS 'We were just laughing about how wrong we were at the turn of 2019/2020!' 'I think we saw so many examples of how people deal with change' 'We can do more than we're capable of when we're focussed' 'What are the things that we can do to make sure that the people in your organisation run towards change and embrace it and accelerate it' 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 GUEST Gavin is an inspirational Speaker, Business Strategist, Business Growth Mentor, Trainer and high-performance Coach.  He works with Business Owners and Entrepreneurs and has a strong track record in creating creative strategies to accelerate the growth of their business.

Calendly is a marvellous way of organising your time, plus it integrates well with other apps, allowing you to create automatic workflows for scheduling and payments. Zoom has proved a miracle through the lockdown, allowing everyone to stay in touch, and also allowing businesses to operate with sometimes improved efficiency.

It's the first big interview of 2021, and what better way to kick things off for the year than by talking about energising your marketing to grow your reach! Nick talks to Rohan Sheth, the co-founder of GrowRev, and a man who's handled over $100 million in ad-spend for thousands of companies, resulting in over $600 Million in returns! There's no one better to tell you all you need to know about the power of advertising, and how to use it to ignite your commercial performance! 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 Ad-spend became a boom town of interest when the pandemic hit as marketers figured out the most effective ways to reach people who were far more connected online than usual. The effects of this connection are still being felt. Opportunities to market more effectively are out there, and more importantly, the techniques that have been created and refined through the pandemic have allowed for a far more successful and targeted reach. Many think that paid ads don't work. They do work. You just need to make sure they're finding the right consumer. You need to talk to the space between their ears instead of what you think they want. When you offer something of great value up front, people feel far more inclined to lean into the relationship and give something back to you. BEST MOMENTS  'It's the stuff that causes you pain that drives you to make the decisions' 'As soon as people got used to being at home, the spends went berserk...' 'The big thing is what do you have and what do you want to promote?' 'If you're not understanding the concept we're talking about tonight, then you need to listen!'

It's a new year with new possibilities ahead! Welcome along to Scale Up Your Business for the year ahead, and with a fresh start in mind, it's time for you to think about boosting those results and taking advantage of the opportunities ahead.

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 Goal-setting should not be restricted to the tail ends of any given year. Make it an ongoing practice that evolves as we evolve ourselves. We're all affected by the outcomes we've previously received. Results are feedback so keep an eye on what they are telling you and adjust accordingly. If you have strong goals, and you have the why behind the goals, you can get through anything if you take the action, driving you to accomplish. The only way we can decide where we need to be in the future, is to reflect upon where we are today. Take time out to consider and reflect. BEST MOMENTS 'What you know now and what you need to know absolutely affects your life and your goals' 'Seeking out knowledge, working with people who've been there and done that is going to be the catalyst to get me to where I want to be' 'Make sure the biggest pull on your life is not the past. It's the pull towards the future' 'Once you've set the goal, go out there and do something small that sets that pathway to you achieving it' 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.

It's the end of one of the most tumultuous years in history, and a time to reflect on how life has changed for everyone during 2020. In this week's special edition of Scale Up Your Business, Nick takes the hot seat once more to offer his own thoughts on what this year has meant as well as the story of his own journey through time to the heights of success he enjoys today, interviewed by business accelerator, best-selling author and creator of The Generosity Culture, April Shprintz. 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 greatest achievements have always come from the results of the guidance of others. It is important that those who enjoy success, take time out to help others to find their own success. This is the true role of the mentor. When we achieve success, we should take time out to recognise our achievement. If it comes quickly, it can encourage a sense of impostor syndrome. Others might declare this success undeserved, but this says more about them than it does about us. You never fundamentally change who you are when you're on your journey of life. You improve and become the best version of you that you can be. It takes work. How we create impact, and how we absorb impact, is all about mind-set. We bring positive and negative approaches and emotions to every situation. By embracing the positives we embrace opportunity. BEST MOMENTS  'There's a lot of things you can learn from other people's journeys' 'I started to question myself even though I'd put the work in' 'The hard part was making the decision and then building the foundations to allow me to do it' 'The moment someone leans into that - that's when I see lives change in humungous ways'  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     April Shprintz LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/aprilshprintz/ April Shprintz Twitter - https://twitter.com/AprilShprintz ABOUT THE HOST Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

You can do anything in life if you do the work. We often label ourselves as failures, when all we really need to do is apply ourselves and gain confidence in our abilities. Controlling your fears is an incredible skill to develop. We can never truly master our fears and shouldn't as they keep us hungry, but controlling them is essential for meaningful growth. Instilling standards in ourselves is the way to imprint levels of growth each day until it becomes second nature. Anything on top of this in terms of development is a bonus. BEST MOMENTS  'To be disciplined, to work hard, to face fears, to be strong and smart and healthy' 'Raising kids is more challenging than growing and scaling a business' 'The warrior kid wakes up early in the morning.
