Your Business Quest

We went on a date night to see the new Challengers movie. And there was one line near the end that was very impactful. It’s to do with courage … which you 100% would have needed to have to start your business. BUT …. Is your courage still as strong as it needs to be to help you experience more growth in the next chapter of your business? In this week’s podcast, I share that thought-provoking line from the movie, along with why courage really matters in business & some practical tips on how you can keep it consistently high.

In this episode, I delve into the power of having a beginner's mind and how it can transform your journey. The Key Mindset Shifts & Takeaways: 1.

Don't overthink; take steps forward. 6. Setting Aside Ego: - Be willing to adapt, seek help, and learn at any level. It's about the journey, not how you appear to others. 7. Patience and Enjoyment: - Rome wasn't built in a day. Be patient and enjoy the learning process. Remember why you started. 8.

Ever heard of Pareto's Principle? It's a game-changer because it helps us to realise that working harder isn’t always the smartest move. In fact, it can often be downright counterproductive! Why? Because only a small portion of what we do actually makes a big difference. Pareto nailed it when he showed that typically, 20% of our efforts lead to 80% of our results. Think about it: - 20% of your marketing efforts often drive a whopping 80% of your sales. - Just 20% of your services or products usually account for 80% of your best sellers. - 20% of what you learn and implement usually brings in 80% of the impact. - 20% of your limiting beliefs and mindset blocks cab account for a whopping 80% of what holds you back! But without realising it, we could be pouring most of our time, energy, money, and focus into things that barely move the needle. Let's change that - for you and your business. In this week’s podcast episode, I'm diving deep into Pareto's Principle and giving you practical steps to ensure you're truly benefiting from those magical numbers—80:20—in the right direction. I'd love to hear your insights after you look at what you're doing through this new lens. You can send me a DM via the links below. Best wishes as always.

So, last week was the first time I watched The Big Bang Theory … I know … I’m late to the party! But it got me thinking ... imagine if the creators of that show, or any of our favourite shows for that matter, poured all their time and energy into crafting the perfect episodes, releasing it to the world, and then... that's it. No more episodes, no more series, no more sharing it again. Sounds ridiculous right, right? Yet, I see this pattern happening all too often with some business owners. Instead of sticking with what's working, especially when it's getting results, they get bored or lured in by the next shiny thing and jump ship. That's why today, I'd love you answer this question: What's stronger in your business journey - your staying power or your boredom-bias? In the latest podcast episode, I bring this concept to life with real examples and outline at least 7 key benefits of why more staying power can really help you & your business Enjoy!

I know that Mindset can seem intangible because you can’t exactly stick your finger in it. But you can see the impact of your mindset, especially your beliefs in your results & the things you do & don’t do! That’s why mindset gremlins & limiting beliefs are one of my favourite things to help my clients crack through. In today’s podcast episode, I share with you a very practical thing you can do to see help smoke out any ‘upper limits’ … especially around money & what you charge. You’ll also hear what powerful question can cause your limiting beliefs to dissolve away very quickly. Plus I share a very personal story of how a decision I unknowingly made back when I was 6 or 7 years old, was the reason why I would dread Monday afternoons in my first corporate job in M&S. Enjoy tuning in & more importantly banishing any beliefs that are holding you back as a result. Best wishes as always. Osmaan Useful links for you: Take the free Business Magic Scorecard here.

As time moves on, it’s a great idea to stop & reflect on what you’re doing (or not doing). Because I’m pretty sure that just like me, there will be some things you’re doing that aren’t really making an impact or getting the results that you want. You may be still doing them because you think you ‘should’ be doing it or that you’re just in the habit of doing it … so it’s now become the ‘norm’. But if you’re doing that … what are you not doing … that could be even better for you & your business? That is what I’d love to explore & share even more with you in this week’s podcast episode here. You’ll also hear me share some exciting news with you inside the podcast … about the podcast! The top line is … the Get Out Your Way podcast is moving to being a themed season-based podcast, instead of a weekly based podcast. So this week’s episode wraps up season 1 (which has a whopping 167 episodes in that season for you to dive into or re-listen to) It will be back later in this year & I can’t wait to share this new approach with you. If you’ve been a listener to season 1 so far … a big thanks. I’m totally proud of having consistently shared & recorded weekly episodes for the past 3 years+. If you haven’t listened to any of them or missed some … then where have you been!? Only messing … you’ve now got time to catch up on season one. This podcast change is another example of practicing what I teach … as you’ll hear me explain more about in this week’s episode. Enjoy the week ahead. Best wishes as always.

If you were a salesperson (which you are … even if it’s not in your official title), how would you feel if this happened? A current customer of 6 years, who’s already had 2 cars from your dealership before reaches out to say they’re interested to discuss what next car they could get from you. I hope you say ….. that you’d be jumping with joy & really eager to speak with your customer asap! Well I am that customer at the moment & honestly I’ve had the complete opposite experience from the sales team! It’s left me feeling like they totally don’t want or care about a sale from me … so much that I’ve actually started to look at other car manufacturers … even though I was a total loyal customer for them. For me it’s come down to the impression that they’ve left on me, after me having to chase them numerous times & them still not even getting back to me some details they promised. It’s left me totally appreciating that we are always leaving an impression on our customers or potential customer … in every interaction or exposure that we have. So it’s time to reflect & be honest … what type of impression are you leaving currently? In this week’s podcast episode, I dive into this even more with you & share some home-truths I also have had about the impression I was putting ‘out there’ inadvertently … without realising it! I’m sure you’ll get lots of valuable insights from it, so be sure to check it out. You’ll also hear more about how the sales team at the car garage have left me really considering jumping ship to their competitors instead. As always let me know what you’re biggest take-away from it, after you’ve had a listen. Best wishes as always.

‘Do you think I should wear this dress or the one I showed you before?’, shouted Shareen … even though we really should have left for the wedding 25 minutes ago! It’s only fashionable for the bride to be late for a wedding, right? After saying the first one was ‘fine’ (typical guy) … I jumped in the car & punched in post code into the sat nav … waiting patiently & trying my best to not honk the horn. Then as soon as her backside hit the seat …. I zoomed off. I listened to directions of the trusted sat nav but we both know that something disastrously had gone wrong when it finally said … ‘You’ve reached your destination’. In this week’s podcast episode, I share where ended up & how it’s taught me a vital lesson One that I’m sure will help you to Get Out Your Way when you’re growing your business. Hint hint … small changes can make a difference! Listen in & see if we got there before they said ‘I Do’! Best wishes as always.
