What they don't realise is that this abuse only helps us to form an armour that lasts a lifetime. You earn respect by demonstrating to the world that you're fearless, and that you're willing to put yourself out there in order to grow. Scale is most effective when led by a true leader - someone who motivates and drives others to do better and reach higher. That target in life should always be happiness. It's up to you to decide what that comprises. if it's wealth, then work hard. If it's time, then make that happen for yourself.

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 all it takes is a kind, thoughtful word from someone you admire, to reinforce the path you've chosen for yourself. It takes courage to put yourself out there, in business and life. Not only do you grow, but you gradually separate yourself from the people around you. A personal brand does not suit everyone. It all depends on what your aims are, what the business is that you're trying to grow, and whether a personal brand suits you. Keeping your promises is essential in building trust, but also essential in providing self-accountability. If people can rely on you, then you add points to your credibility. BEST MOMENTS 'Every time you take a bolder step forward, you're choosing to separate yourself from the pack' 'Some things connect with me because it's a message I need to hear at that time' 'Do what you say you're going to do, when you're going to do it, without exception' 'The lowest level of valuation is implementation' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ... How To Fix It Fast! - https://www.scaleupmastermind.com/free-guide1 Are you ready to create your high-value exit?  Apply to work with us today at https://scaleup.vip/PredictableGrowthAssessment  Mark Drager - https://www.markdrager.com ABOUT THE HOST   Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

There are many guides out there that'll point you towards the things you should definitely include in your investor pitch, but how about the things you need to avoid? In this episode, Nick details ten aspects you must avoid if you want your investor pitch to land effectively! 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 Prospecting and talking to potential investors without building rapport beforehand, is a sure-fire way to reduce your chances of the pitch succeeding. Preparation is everything. You need to know your pitch inside and out. Pitching is about telling a story, and every story needs its dramatic moments, so work them out beforehand Remember that the pitch is about the investor, not a chance to talk about yourself at length. Think about your audience and research them in advance. You can't always count on the time you'll be given, so make different size versions of your pitch. prepare a short version, a long version and a medium version, so that you can maximise the impact you have with the time you're given. BEST MOMENTS 'Sometimes you've got to influence in order to sell something' 'You've got to pitch in life to get what you want' 'Build a relationship first, before you ask for anything' 'You've got to put in the work' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ... How To Fix It Fast! - https://www.scaleupmastermind.com/free-guide1 Are you ready to create your high-value exit?  Apply to work with us today at https://scaleup.vip/PredictableGrowthAssessment  ABOUT THE HOST  Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

Jeff Lerner is a business owner, content creator, author, public speaker, master at internet marketing, father, husband, and fitness enthusiast. He runs multiple, profitable, online businesses and has over a decade of experience as a successful entrepreneur. Jeff joins Nick this week to talk about the. ways you can unlock your true potential by sharing the story of his own journey - from broke jazz musician to global CEO and business founder - and how by ignoring the collective and following the entrepreneurial spirit we can create life changing results. 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 There are always moments in life where your journey is sent off into a wild direction and everything changes. If you follow these opportunities then they can often lead into something that unlocks your true potential. As entrepreneurs, we follow a different path to the "collective" - we strike out on our own and make a better future for ourselves. This is how legacy begins. If we surround ourselves with aspirational people, then it drives us to do better - to reach higher. The earlier we get this inspiration, the higher we can climb. Never be afraid to break a promise if the circumstances change. Promises we make to others in our less experienced years can often leave us broken in the present. It's okay to change the game if it'll make life better for us. BEST MOMENTS 'There are inflection moments when your life changes' 'Civilisation is the process of setting man free from men' 'I'm this broke piano player kid, going into $50 million mansions, while millionaires and billionaires are being served dinner' 'It's the defining choice of my life'  VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ... How To Fix It Fast! - https://www.scaleupmastermind.com/free-guide1 Are you ready to create your high-value exit?  Apply to work with us today at https://scaleup.vip/PredictableGrowthAssessment  Jeff Lerner - https://jefflernerofficial.com ABOUT THE HOST  Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

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 With the uncertainty of the world right now, there are even more opportunities to make impact as an entrepreneur. We can much better create freedom and wealth for ourselves. Speed of implementation is the time span for coming up with an initiative, to the time it takes to be baked into your business. The faster you implement, the more successful you will be. Vision, goals, priorities - they come from focus. The more focussed you are on what you're trying to create, and how to get there, the quicker you'll make it happen. Precision is the quickest and most efficient way from A to B. Don't be swayed by side roads. Keep your eyes on the goal and move forward.

This week, Nick is joined by Tom Wheelwright, the best-selling author of 'Tax-Free Wealth', who discusses the ways in which we can make sure that we have more money in our pockets, including money mindset and tax efficiency in order to build wealth. 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  An effective expert should never spend time telling you about himself. He should always be asking you the questions so as to better guide you towards a solution. Governments use the tax laws to manipulate the economy. Providing tax reliefs is a way of incentivising private investors to reinforce infrastructure. The wealthiest people in the world are the ones who focus on what they're good at, and what they are attracted to. You always must take your business to the places int he world where you get the best tax breaks. The great successes don't get there without that kind of tax relief. BEST MOMENTS 'If you're creating your wealth directly, you'll make a much higher return' 'The number one job of an advisor is to ask questions' 'Wealth is created in the mind, not by your hands' 'It's okay to be rich.

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 might have the best people in the world, but if they are not working to an optimal cadence, and within the right culture, then you'll never get the best out of them. A human resources leader is essential. Even if you're the CEO, you can't be responsible for building out an amazing team. You can set the tone and offer guidelines, but your HR leader on the ground will be the one who gets it done. Having a CFO who can make sense of your numbers and lay out that financial roadmap, will make your business not just robust, but far more sellable when the time comes.

He founded Mindvalley in 2003 with the goal of bringing together the world’s top educators under one platform, to usher in a new era for humanity that is more empowered, connected, and collaborative than the status quo. Vishen joins Nick today to talk about his incredible goal of aiming to reach a billion people worldwide, so as to further the collective consciousness of the human species, as well as a surprising revelation about his opinions on meditation, and how it can be better used to change people's lives. 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  When we set ourselves goals, we need to make sure that the methods we use to reach them are appropriate. Often, we use meditation in the wrong way. We use it to solve the wrong kinds of problems, meaning that it is inefficient. Meditation comes in many forms, but the one most widely adopted by the west is the form by where we clear our minds and spend long periods of time in silence. However, there are better, more efficient forms out there. Compassion may be seen as a "fluffy" in the world of business. But it's only seen that way by entrepreneurs with outdated models of business. Financial success can be attained through being driven. But there is a lack of sustainability in this pursuit. Being too driven can lead to burnout, or even a reversal of one's fortunes. BEST MOMENTS 'What we've built as a platform is essential to entrepreneurs' 'The best forms of meditation are active meditation approaches' 'We use a specific compassion protocol that in two minutes, activates compassion as a muscle within you' 'You have to find a balance between output and rejuvenation' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ... How To Fix It Fast! - https://www.scaleupmastermind.com/free-guide1 Are you ready to create your high-value exit?  Apply to work with us today at https://scaleup.vip/PredictableGrowthAssessment  Vishen Lakhiani - https://www.vishen.com ABOUT THE HOST  Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

Just because we gain more experience over time in business, doesn't necessarily mean that we stop making mistakes. In this candid episode, Nick opens up about the errors he's made, the lessons he's learned from each one, and the ways in which you can avoid the same setbacks. 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 more polarising you are, the better. If you're existing solely in the "grey area" then you're not standing out to anyone. When you set goals that are harder to achieve than you believe - a moonshot - then even if you only get 70% of the way there, you'll still have achieved excellence. If you're not scaling or growing quickly right now, you may need to ask yourself if you have strong enough partnerships in place to allow you to achieve your goals. Cash reserves are wise to have, but you also need to make sure you're investing in growth. If you don't, then you risk breaking the growth cycle. BEST MOMENTS 'It doesn't matter what stage of business you're at, you can still repeat patterns' 'What would happen if you elevated your thinking?'

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  Marketing and advertising used to have to rely on precise targeting at the correct time. Direct response marketing required an action to be taken, and many think this art has gone away - but it hasn't. Marketing is initially about gaining views, then engaging and eliciting an emotional response in order to gain action, and then on to conversion. Effective branding leads to the initiation of a tribe - a community - who become believers in your message. Establishing this is the key to longevity and passive marketing on your part. There are two types of individuals - the drifters and the driven. When you are faced with issues, the drifters will give in, but the driven will see it through to the end.
