But further than that, it is the way in which we dance with, and leverage that fear. We can empower ourselves greatly by distilling efficiency, and focusing upon the optimal use of one’s time in order to maximise impact. Humility has its place, but it’s also vital that we ensure people know who we are and what we’re about. If people aren’t aware of what you’re about, then how can they possibly become part of your story? Integrity-based human influence is based upon a four-step formula: The opening of listening and the creation of emotional rapport Connecting people to their pain and discovering their strategy for solving their relevant pain Qualifying a mission through relatable experience Agreement formation or closing   BEST MOMENTS ‘Personal development is just an extension of everything we do from the moment we’re born’ ‘I knew what it was like to impact lives by watching the coaches who impacted my life’ ‘It’s not just a label; it’s something I believe in very, very much’ ‘Influence has become about the unveiling of truth'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Sean Callaghy Website: http://unblindedmastery.com/Sean Callaghy Facebook: [Sean] https://www.facebook.com/seanrcallagySean Callaghy Facebook: [UNBLINDED] https://www.facebook.com/unblindedmastery/Sean Callaghy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unblindedmastery/Sean Callaghy YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/SeanCallagyLawSean Callaghy LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unblinded/Sean Callaghy Blog: https://unblindedmastery.com/blog/   ABOUT THE HOST Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

During these times of unease and unrest, it’s vital that we display healthy leadership. In response to a question from the community this week, Nick discusses his approach to diversity in the workplace, and the importance of empathising with, and amplifying, the voices of those who must be heard at this crucial time in world history.

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 wish to build empires, must embrace the fact that we can’t do it alone. It is incumbent upon us to make those people feel motivated and encouraged, no matter what their background. The world has changed forever. People have chosen this moment to draw a line in the sand. They are far more aware. The rest button has been pushed on society, and we need it to affect society in other positive ways. Though our standards and beliefs may be different, we must always allow ourselves to empathise and appreciate difference. We must not ignore what is happening. Now is the time to show up and demonstrate strength of will, by backing the causes we know to be right.   BEST MOMENTS  ‘I do have a voice, which means I need to have opinions on things when they hit’ ‘Growth comes from working together’ ’This is an opportunity as a leader, to step up and make change’ ‘Ask yourself the question - are you showing up as the leader you want to be?'     ABOUT THE HOST Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

In this week’s Entrepreneur In Focus, Nick talks to Patrick Bet-David, the creator of Valuetainment, the world’s #1 YouTube channel for entrepreneurs! Patrick’s entrepreneurial journey is an incredible story, which began at the age of ten years old when he arrived in America, and has seen him overcome challenges and barriers ever since.

People have the right ideas in mind; it’s their sequencing that needs work. The best route is to always take care of yourself and your family first, and chase your dreams hard afterwards. People who clearly define their standards, beliefs and values, are the people who tend to achieve more, and who end up helping others more. There are businesses who will not survive the coronavirus economic catastrophe because of bad planning, or because they failed to pivot. There are also those who will not survive, because their business models are not valuable enough to attract the slim investment opportunities out there. Leaders, more than ever, need to have competency and empathy more than any other skills. We need to be able to inspire and understand.   BEST MOMENTS   ‘Competition can be scary, especially when you lose’ ‘I’m not stopping until I’ve made millions and no-one can tell me what to do’ ’Should I do what I love? Or should I do what makes me money?’ ‘Every business moving forward has to make sure they are pandemic-proof'    VALUABLE RESOURCES Patrick Bet-David Instagram: @patrickbetdavidPatrick Bet-David Twitter: @patrickbetdavidPatrick Bet-David Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PatrickBetDavid.Valuetainment/Patrick Bet-David YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/c/valuetainmentTo get your free chapter of Patrick’s new book go to yournextfivemoves.com ABOUT THE HOST Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all formula for scale-up, but there are a series of systems and guidelines that can apply to any business in search of growth, that can act as a framework to accelerate your development planning. In this week’s ’15 Minutes To Action’, Nick talks you through his 3P3C framework for scaling any 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  You’ve got to be decisive, focussed, disciplined, consistent, and you have to be productive. Repetition is the key to mastery. Purpose is essential in giving you the goals and milestones that allow you to see the blueprint of your future success. Proposition is the “elevator pitch”; the sum of all your ideas that allow you to give your customer the ideal experience. Your product should allow your ideal customer to easily say yes. It is the means by where a potential client can “kick the tyres” and see if you are someone they really want to have a relationship with.   BEST MOMENTS ’Scale up requires you to work in a different way’ ‘If you’re going to kill the monster, kill it when it’s small, not big!’ ‘Culture eats strategy for breakfast’ ‘If you get these things right it makes everything so much easier, longer term’   VALUABLE RESOURCES To book your place on the special 3P3C Framework webinar on the 11th June 2020 at 20:00 BST go to www.suybacademy.com/how-to-grow-and-scale-your-business Scale Up Your Business - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/scale-up-your-business-podcast/id1453523566 Join the free Scale Up Your Business community:  https://buff.ly/2JR1cTF  Generate 20 New Leads in 20 Days - download your free 5-step guide to put in place my top-performing customer creation strategies:  https://buff.ly/2ZiN26Y   ABOUT THE HOST Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

Dr. Bill Dorfman’s passion for dentistry has grown into one of the most prestigious cosmetic dental practices in the world. Known to millions as “The Michael Jordan” Of Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Dorfman has become a New York Times best-selling author and one of the only LA based Fellows in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. In this episode, Dr Dorfman joins Nick to discuss the value of having a good team when it comes to scale-up, why everyone should be inspired to copy genius, and why we should always give back when we can.

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 As an entrepreneur, you feel as though you need to be the core of everything that happens. Your main job is to see to it that you have the best team possible, so that you don't have to be the core. It is not just acceptable to take the best ideas from those you wish to emulate. It’s necessary. The best of us will always copy genius. The best way to influence people is to create the direction of that education, so that it flows from their peers. Peer-driven instruction has proven to be far more effective. The most successful of us are those who understand the guiding principle of sharing wealth, knowledge and experience once we have achieved it.   BEST MOMENTS ‘When you get an opportunity, don’t just take it. Master it’ ‘Why reinvent mediocrity when you can copy genius?’ ‘Most dentists don’t know how to run a business!’ ‘I don’t create products.

Toughness and resilience are attributes we all need right now, but many believe that they can only be attained through long periods of failure or setbacks. Nick’s here this week to smash that thinking, with a special insight into how he prepares for the physical trials of marathon running, and how you can take the empowering lessons he’s learned, in order to build up your resilience reserves today! 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 If you want to grow, and to become the best version of yourself that you can be, you need to set tasks or challenges for yourself that feel impossible. By allowing ourselves to see our goals long term, and by developing the ability to look as far ahead as possible, we come to realise that any current challenges are merely moments, and will pass. The best way to overcome a fear is to face that fear. The best way to grow is push through a barrier, because if you do, your strength and resolve will expand exponentially. Meditation helps us to experience the moment. It is the practice of tapping into the layers of our brain, our psychology, and our emotions, and being able to call upon those things when it matters.   BEST MOMENTS  ‘Living life on your own terms is the key’ ‘In life, everything is about growth and contribution’ ‘If you want to build resistance, you first have to change the narrative’ ‘You’ve got to feel the fear and do it anyway’      VALUABLE RESOURCES Join the free Scale Up Your Business community:  https://buff.ly/2JR1cTF  Generate 20 New Leads in 20 Days - download your free 5-step guide to put in place my top-performing customer creation strategies:  https://buff.ly/2ZiN26Y   ABOUT THE HOST Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

Nick’s special guest this week is JT McCormick, the CEO Of Scribe Media, ranked #1 in Top Company Culture In America by Entrepreneur Magazine! There’s no one in the world more qualified (officially) to tell you how, and why, you should be building a world-beating culture in your business today. 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  Challenges and barriers in early life were taken not as roadblocks, but as lessons that helped JT to grow stronger. Sometimes the things that beat us down make us more determined. JT has always led by three principles: People, processes, profits. Good people will swiftly enable the following two principles.  We need to be constantly questioning everything. Those who inquire, discover. There’s no such thing as a stupid question.  There’s no such thing as failure. You only fail when you stop trying. The goal is to learn, not-repeat, and grow from the mistakes.  Great companies are never built by one person. They are the cumulative product of the collaborative efforts of great people.   BEST MOMENTS ’That chaos has actually helped me in business’ ‘With great people we can build great processes and make great profits’ ‘I never want to be the smartest person in the room’ ‘You only fail if you stop trying’     VALUABLE RESOURCES JT McCormick LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jtmccormick/ JT McCormick - https://jtmccormick.com Join the free Scale Up Your Business community:  https://buff.ly/2JR1cTF  Generate 20 New Leads in 20 Days - download your free 5-step guide to put in place my top-performing customer creation strategies:  https://buff.ly/2ZiN26Y   ABOUT THE HOST Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

In this week’s 15 Minutes To Action, Nick shares the seven things he’s currently implementing in his own businesses, in order to give himself, his employees, his customers and suppliers, the best opportunities for growth and scale once life begins to crank back into action in the coming weeks and months.

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 Stopping to think about every decision will give you a greater perspective on outcomes. We need to consider how different the world is going to be, and how each decision will play out in that world. Most people have now recognised the importance of having cash in the business. It has now become one of the most important and recognised factors in the failure of businesses. There are people out there who have gone through similar economic experiences before. Don’t be afraid to reach out and talk to those who know how to survive. It’s time to be brave. Test and trial the solutions, systems and processes that you’ve always wanted. You might find the next great growth accelerator. The more you can work on yourself right now, the more you’ll be enhancing what is sure to be a key part of how you lead, show up, and take action in the future.   BEST MOMENTS ’Things will slingshot back once people start to feel some confidence again’ ’Gratitude is the antidote to fear' ’The worst thing you can do is stay in your own head’ ’The quality of life is the quality of how you manage your decisions and emotions'     VALUABLE RESOURCES Save your spot on my FREE Business Growth Accelerator training hosted by Rock Thomas here:  https://buff.ly/2X9YEGr  Join the free Scale Up Your Business community:  https://buff.ly/2JR1cTF  Generate 20 New Leads in 20 Days - download your free 5-step guide to put in place my top-performing customer creation strategies:  https://buff.ly/2ZiN26Y   ABOUT THE HOST Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

The fabulous ‘Entrepreneur In Focus’ series continues as I meet with Gaurav Sinha, author of ‘Compassion Inc - Unleashing The Power Of Empathy In Life And Business’. In this week’s show, Gaurav discusses his incredible journey, the importance of self-belief, and the philosophies that can help you achieve your scale-up goals ... in business and in 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 Always look for a great boss; never look for a great job. A true leader can help you to realise the shape of your journey at the outset. At the outset of any entrepreneurial journey, revenue is king. Hustle all you can to put food on the table and aim for the small wins that elevate you each time. You always need people in order to climb higher. The key to keeping those people is to create a culture of collaboration in a transactional world. Altruism in brands has become far too scarce. It’s not about profit, it’s about prosperity. It’s not about shareholder value, but working with holders of shared values. A great business requires three things: the idea, the operations, and the money. Simplicity is the key to long-term success and most importantly, happiness.   BEST MOMENTS ’The word “more” has been hijacked’ ’Stars don’t work for idiots.

Nothing can hamper your ability to take action more than procrastination, the enemy of productivity In this week’s special episode, Nick talks you through the ways in which you can stop stalling and start stepping up! 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   Procrastination is the force by which we are attracted to instant gratification, instead of our long-term goals. Instant gratification is more alluring to our present selves, as we can see the benefit immediately. By moving the future rewards closer to our present, we can better focus on, and achieve them. The best way to beat the feeling of procrastination is by starting the work itself. Even incremental acts can begin momentum that will drive us forward. Temptation bundling, or the act of linking an activity that takes work with one that gives us pleasure, can increase productivity and prevent procrastination.   BEST MOMENTS   ‘Present self has the ability to take action, but future self has the ability to set goals’ ‘You make your future consequences become your present consequences’ ’The problem is not doing the work, but starting the work’ ’The key to procrastination is consistency'   ABOUT THE HOST Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.
