Achieving the right outcomes with strategic subtraction
This week, we catch up with Richard Young. Richard coaches Performance Fulfilment, and he spends his days working with experts in sports, education, and health. The man has some really interesting things to say, and I think anyone with a goal in their life could stand to hear them.
In this episode, hosted by Troy Dean,we're talking about how sometimes doing less can lead to better results - it's about focusing on what really matters and cutting out the rest. We also chat about why slowing down can actually get you where you're going faster, and how focusing on the simple, basic stuff can help you see things more clearly.
Richard brings an interesting perspective to the table, arguing that delivering your best performance isn't about adding more to your plate but removing the unnecessary bits.Are you tired of the outdated and broken agency model?

No Price Tag on Peace - Building a Business with a Team Culture that You Love
Confidence plays a crucial role in being a business owner because we're constantly putting ourselves out there. It's natural to second-guess ourselves, and even just one piece of feedback can send us down a slippery slope of self-doubt. That's why positive self-talk is incredibly important. Having those internal conversations where you become your own biggest fan and continue to encourage yourself is key. You’ve probably heard this from mentors time and again: many of the problems we face in our small businesses are often a reflection of what's going on inside our own minds. It's all about mindset and overcoming the internal struggles. So, it's vital to cultivate that confidence and belief in yourself as a business owner. Remember, you've got what it takes to succeed! In this episode of the Agency Hour podcast, we’re thrilled to be joined by Jen Sakowski, Founder and chief officer of raneydaydesign.com. Jen is a former member of the Mavericks Club and now serves as a Mavericks Club Coach. In this episode, Jen discusses her journey of regaining confidence after becoming complacent in her business. She talks about the importance of managing mindset and embracing discomfort as a means of personal growth and also emphasises the value of peace and explains why it cannot be measured in monetary terms.If you’d like to chat with our team about growing you business, click the link and let's get to work. https://www.agencymavericks.com/clarity-call
