Don't use words like "just" and "might" it gives the trust away and makes you seem uncertain. Especially when you're on sales calls. If you're a start-up founder, do you really need a coach? Something I've learnt is instead of spending money because you have it, ask yourself do you really need it. Sometimes you have to do things by yourself and achieve something before you spend. (Inspired by this video by Noah Kagan ) If you've genuinely tried for 90 days at your business, and nothing has happe...

Mindset is so important when starting a business. But when you first start out, you need to dig deep into why you're starting your company, who do you want to help, what happens when it gets tough? All these different questions are things to consider when you're first starting. Holding yourself accountable is also really important. I struggled with holding myself accountable with sales, as I was nervous and scared. Sometimes you need someone to help hold you accountable and work through some of ...

Balancing every task in business is hard when you're starting out. It's even harder when you have to study 15 hours a week and submit 3-6 assignments twice a year. This podcast breaks down some of the pressures you face as a university student, trying to start and build a business. You never know whether you're devoting your time to the right thing.

If people are calling you weird, because you spend all your time in your room or at a friends house, that's probably a good thing. If you're on the pursuit of something massive, you've got to take massive action. Especially if that's in business. Managing a client was something I didn't think I would need to think about. I thought it would be a matter of just hopping on a call, telling them info and boom. I was wrong about that. You need processes and systems in place to manage clients effective...

I asked someone to be my co-founder last week and this week I got a response. Unfortunately it wasn't the right time for them. At the end of it all, I was left feeling happy, content, excited and also a little bit sad. I was sad because it would have been great to be on this journey with another person. I was happy and excited because of the honest that was shared and also because it means I can start building what I want to build, which I was putting off until we had that conversation. I'm buil...

Being in a negative headspace doesn't feel good. Usually this can come from either negative self talk, or people being negative around you. How do you get out of it? Stop hiding behind your emotions and take control and responsibility of how you feel. Remember that everyone has good days and bad days, and the good outweighs the bad. Listening to positivity through earphones or outloud can help drown it out. That can be through podcasts, YouTube videos, people like Eric Thomas on Instagram and mo...

This week I have been learning about negotiating deals from a book called Never Split The Difference by Chris Voss . From FBI hostage situations to negotiating car deals, this guy has negotiated everything. The trick is not saying no, but instead asking questions starting with how and what. I had a call with Adib Bamieh , Founder of Bamboo Orchard . He taught me about the different situations founders/co-founders go through and suggested I plan for these worst case scenarios. He also changed my ...

Your goals aren't as far as you think, the people you look up to are only a few steps away.

She will be able to give me a different perspective and help me move onto the next level.

During this episode I have broken down my current new content creation strategy. From editing, to getting subtitles, it's all in there. Recently I have been reading They Ask, You Answer by Marcus Sheridan . I'm on page 101 and so far he is talking about blogging and answering every question that your customers have in your content. This could also be applied to personal branding and videos online. I am also starting a new 12.5 hour job at an influencer marketing agency on Monday (20th April 2020...

Sometimes we feel guilty for resting and not working due to seeing everyone else working. Especially when we are seeing people in different time zones. But often, resting is the best thinig for us as in the long term it can make us more productive. I felt all these feelings whilst I was ill. I recently finished a book called Ikigai - Discover your reason for being by Justyn Barnes . It had a Venn Diagram in it that I am going to be implementing into my life over the next week.

Yesterday was the 10th anniversary of my Dad's death. It really got me to reflect over the past 10 years and how much times have changed. From sitting with my Dad in the minibus chatting about how life would be better one day, to now sitting in a university bedroom at my desk in Derby. How times have changed. It also got me thinking about how much will change over the next 10 years. Will I be looking back and be the person I wanted to be. Only time will tell. And you are along for the ride. Have...

We have been told to have social distance, but that doesn't mean we need to be socially distant. It's time to pull together. Truth is Coronavirus is effecting every part of our lives. Our businesses, our children, our health systems, all of it. We need to pull together to help each other through this tough time. School students are being closed, just months before thousands of 15 year olds are about to sit their exams, but are having more stress added due to the uncertainty of what their future ...

Have you ever realised that you weren't movinig in life or business? If so, you're not alone. You probably have 5 year goals. Try to achieve them in 6 months time. It probably won't happen, but the worst that will happen is you will get a lot further than what you would have done. Just try it. Time management working full time and trying to grow a company can be difficult. But remember you can't just work on your company and your job, you also need time off to focus on family and also to keep yo...

This week I started using an evening journal called Five Minutes in the Evening. I have never really used a proper journal before and so this one helps guide your thoughts so that you know what to write down. I came up with a little technique which I have found works for me. It's called the PEA approach. P = Point, E = Emotion, A = Answer. The point is the top line thought. The emotion is the thought explained or a little more in depth and the answer counter-acts the emotion, telling you that yo...

What happens when we die? Nobody knows. But here's my theory. Maybe when we die, we just go into the dream state. Maybe when people speak about 'Hell' they are refering to not lucid dreaming and thus constantly having no control over what you dream about. On the train home on Monday evening, there was a young boy. He was asking his parent/carer why he learns History in school. 'History is for people that want to be a Historian' he said. He asked a few other questions of a similar nature and it g...

This week I went to BBC Radio Derby. I got this opportunity by speaking to a colleague at work who happened to know somebody who works there. Truth is I went in with no expectations, just wanting to learn what they do, get a tour and try and provide value. One of the people who works there, her husband works in podcasting too and might have a chat with me in the future. Opportunity is everywhere, you don't know where it's hiding until you look for it.

Dreams are not just something we put up with when we sleep. You can control them. Learning to control them can help you navigate problems in your waking life. I am currently reading Why We Dream by Alice Robb which really got me thinking of how I can be more effective in my day to day life. Monitoring sleep and learning to control my dreams may be the answer. Everyone has different strategies to planning, some prefer to plan more, some prefer less but there is a state of overplanning.

Happy 2020 to everyone listening. It's the first episode of 2020. In this episode I begin by going through a few inspiring quotes that I heard that I just couldn't go without sharing. These quotes were from Les Brown and Tom Bilyeu. Then I move onto talking about how it felt to get my first lead through my website. It was really fulfilling and kind of like a verification that I am onto something and I can't give up because people want what I am offering and it is valuable. I share an update on h...
