In this episode, Jeannette talks to Colin Nottage, the founder of a health and safety consultancy firm called Influential Management Group. After spending 25 years running several large health and safety departments, he has become a renowned expert in the field. Today, he is a podcaster, public speaker, and trainer. Colin speaks about his unique approach, one which has helped him to stand out in his industry and secure excellent results. Later in the podcast, Colin talks candidly about his personal development journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you are passionate about what you do, you will succeed. Don´t be afraid to walk away to do something positive that you believe in. Getting health and safety wrong changes lives for the worse. Everyone in an organisation needs to understand the business's health and safety goals. Firms that automatically blame the person who was injured stop learning and alienate their workforces. Health and safety failures have a hugely negative impact on brand reputation. Understanding how tasks are actually carried out is vital for putting in place robust and safe processes. Understanding your why is critical. Make positive decisions about your life and follow through. Identify things that you should be doing every single day to enable you to meet your goal and don´t miss a day of doing them. If something is important to you, you will find time to do it. Treat yourself as your most important customer. Make looking after your health a priority. Keep on reflecting, keep on challenging. BEST MOMENTS ‘In life, you´ve got choices. You can either get frustrated and go with the flow or do something positive. ´ ‘You´ve got these non-negotiable things that you´ve got to do every single day.’ ‘If you can´t do anything about it, don´t worry.’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Ian takes Jeannette through his career journey, sharing details of what he learned along the way, including recognising good opportunities, how to turn negativity into something positive and why you should not be afraid of breaking the mould. KEY TAKEAWAYS MedHotels grew from a standing start to £35 million in 3 years. Play the long game - often, if you stick with something it comes good in the end.

Don´t let it crush you, it is all a part of life. If you fail in a role, it does not mean you are a failure. Often, it just means the role or idea was not right.

Be yourself, play to your strengths and hire others to cover for any weaknesses BEST MOMENTS ‘Decisions made by committee are not great for business´ ‘Your contacts, your network is so important in business.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about transferable skills, which all of us have. She shares a simple 4-step process you can easily use to recognise what yours are and make the most of them. Enabling you to be ready to grab any opportunities. As well as be ready to change roles or careers should that become desirable or necessary. The advice Jeannette shares in this excellent podcast is for everybody. Regardless of their career path, stage, or age. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone has fantastic transferable skills that can be applied in a new environment. Even if you don´t realise it. Recognise yours and learn how to maximise and use them. It is especially important to do this now, at a time when being ready to quickly change roles is more likely. Recognising your skillset will help to ensure that you do not miss out on opportunities. Understanding what you are capable of will boost your confidence and encourage you to be bold and try new things. Sit down quietly and list out your skills and what you have to offer. Think outside the box and be creative when identifying your skills. Ask others that you trust what they think your skillset is. Identify any gaps you have. Then work to fill those gaps. Doing this is a great way to be ready for any opportunity or challenge you want to set yourself. Don´t get ready, be ready. This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Melissa Tilling CEO and founder of the social enterprise company Charitable Travel. Over her 34 years, she has filled many challenging, innovative, and often high-level roles within the industry. They talk in-depth about her long and varied career. Including her transitioning from a man to a woman, while she was the director of Funway. She shares the impact not being her true self had on her personal and work life, how she got help and successfully made her transition from male to female. Melissa explains how social enterprise companies function and work to make a big difference in society. They also discuss the impact CoVid has had on the travel industry and the good it does, including what needs to be done to get large-scale tourism to developing countries restarted so that poverty-stricken families can once again earn a living. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is possible to make a social difference in your work life. Travel can be a huge force for good, particularly when it gives those in developing countries the chance to make a decent living. Social enterprise companies can be set up in a way that creates money for charities out of nothing. Charitable Travel works directly with 120 charities. The travel industry is ever-changing and working in it can be a very entrepreneurial experience. Be your true self - putting up a front is exhausting and counterproductive. People should be judged from a professional standpoint on how they conduct themselves and what they can achieve. Being prepared to laugh at yourself and not take yourself too seriously is good for you and everyone around you. Do your best to find a role that makes you happy as well as pays the bills. Be tenacious. Never give up. Chase what you believe in. BEST MOMENTS ‘I´ve always regarded travel as being a massive force for good, particularly … in the developing world. ´ ‘In terms of maturity and self-awareness, you kind of get to the sod it stage. You don´t care what other people think.’ ‘Transition certainly made me more authentic, empathetic, understanding and certainly less defensive’. ‘Brilliance is making a difference. It´s not about what you can do for yourself. It´s about what you can do for everybody else.’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Jeannette explains what the fertile void stage in the Gestalt cycle is and how you can leverage it to make positive changes in your life. She explains how forcing yourself to hit the pause button at times of uncertainty, or turning points in your life, has huge benefits. Advice that you will see is particularly relevant now, in a world that has been radically changed by the CoVid crisis. KEY TAKEAWAYS When your life is in a state of flux, your mind has the potential to be at its most creative. Your mind instinctively begins to sift through the options, including the more unusual ones. Often, those ideas represent great opportunities. But you need to give your mind time and space to work to take advantage of the fertile void. Staying in that fertile void will likely feel uncomfortable. Don´t panic and rush to fill the void by adopting the easiest solution. Instead, create some personal space to allow your mind to work. Jeannette explains how in the podcast. BEST MOMENTS ‘If you find that you can stay in a sort of void for long enough, great creativity can come from that’ ‘Try and stay in that place where it is uncertain… just give yourself time to recover’ ‘Rather than panic and try to fill that void, just give yourself space and you will be amazed by what can happen’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to the Premiership footballer Leon Britton. During his long career, he appeared 536 times and scored 17 match goals, and was part of the team that took Swansea City up to the Premiership Division. Leon tells the story of how he went from being a talented school player to playing in the Premier League.

They also talk about why he decided it was time to leave the world of football, as well as the steps he took to make sure that his transition from playing football went smoothly. KEY TAKEAWAYS People who are involved in pro sports must learn how to handle rejection as well as success. Regardless of what is going on in your life, you cannot afford to get side-tracked. Focus on the things that you can control - don´t get distracted or worry about the things that are out of your hands. Do something every single day that contributes to achieving your goals. It's important to be able to recognise when it's time to change what you are doing. When you change your career, job, or retire, give yourself time to plan and prepare for that big change. Follow your own path, don´t worry about what others expect you to do. Be brave in your choices whether that is in your personal, career, or business life. BEST MOMENTS ‘It´s just hard work and determination. Being dedicated to every single day. ´ ‘Only you know when it is time to finish.’ ‘Forget what other people say, forget what other people think.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about the importance of embracing the fact that you cannot have success without experiencing some failures. Nobody´s life is perfect. Jeanette explains why it is important to accept that you will make mistakes. As well as the fact that on occasion things are not going to go your way. She shares how to embrace both of these potentially negative things and turn them into something positive. Ways you can use the bumps in life´s journey to propel yourselves forwards. KEY TAKEAWAYS Nobody is perfect. We all have our flaws and make mistakes. It is important to recognise this. On the journey to success, you are going to experience failures. People often put a version of themselves on social media that does not reflect their shadow side (the things that go wrong). It is not easy to embrace your shadow side. Doing so will hurt. But it is worth it. Often, difficult situations teach you stellar skills that you would not have otherwise developed. It is possible to embrace some of the negative things and channel them into something positive. When things go wrong don´t beat yourself up. Take the time to pause and really learn from those things that go wrong in your life. You cannot have gain without pain – that is just the balance of life. This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE. If you’d like to join Jeannette’s FREE Mastermind just DM Jeannette on [email protected] BEST MOMENTS ‘The harsh reality of life is that at times things will go wrong. We won´t make everything a success’ ‘If you don’t have those (negative) experiences… you´re not going to have the flipside of the really positive things.’ ‘Really cut yourself some slack. We are all perfectly flawed in some way or another. And that's okay. ´ VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about the 3 golden S´s of space, silence, and stillness. She explains how creating space for yourself makes you calmer, more creative, and enables you to achieve more. Jeannette then steps you through 12 simple things you can do to create the space, silence, and stillness you need to refresh and focus yourself. Enabling you to feel great and achieve more. KEY TAKEAWAYS The 3 golden Ss are – Space, Silence, and Stillness. Ambitious action takers rarely pause long enough to give themselves the time and headspace they need to reenergize and refresh themselves. When you declutter your mind and create space for yourself you renew your energy. Giving yourself time and space helps you to come up with great ideas. You do not necessarily need to carve out a huge amount of time each day to make a positive difference. Yoga is an effective way to create space in your body, which is very rejuvenating. Yoga is highly adaptable, so it can be used by anyone, at any age. Meditation is a great way to calm and prepare yourself for something difficult. Just sitting in silence for a while has an amazingly positive impact on you. Being in nature is incredibly calming and rejuvenating. Having a good clear out is very cathartic. It could be as simple as sorting out a draw or getting rid of unnecessary apps on your phone. Periodically review your diary and stop setting aside time to do things that do not truly benefit you. Sitting for a while in silence creates a fertile void, which often leads to great ideas. Keeping a diary gets your thoughts out of your head, creating space for creativity. BEST MOMENTS ‘If you are the type of person that wants to progress and take action, you will find that you don´t always give yourself time and headspace. But it is important that you do. ´ ‘Try something like yoga.’ ‘Be ruthless... clear out your diary and create that space that we´re talking about, that stillness for yourself.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Alex Flynn who is an adventurer, writer, successful lawyer, and public speaker. He is a passionate advocate for Parkinson´s. A disease that he suffers from himself. Alex explains how the diagnosis led to deep depression, which he was able to overcome to become a highly effective advocate and fund-raiser for Parkinson’s sufferers. He shares details of how he built up his mental strength and resilience. To the point where he has been able to complete numerous extreme physical endurance challenges. Including multiple fund-raising extreme marathons and desert runs. During the podcast, Alex explains how he achieved that mindset, to help others to do the same and overcome the challenges in their own lives. In 2022, he will be climbing Everest to “put Parkinson´s on top of the world”. Alex talks about how he plans to do that, and the role listeners can play in helping him to achieve that challenge. KEY TAKEAWAYS Parkinson´s affects far more people than you think (1 in 15). It is a debilitating neurological condition that gradually takes away your ability to move and function. People with these conditions lose self-confidence, self-worth, and their position in society. Parkinson´s crushes you physically that can in turn lead to your being crushed spiritually. Despite Parkinson´s Alex has still completed many arduous physical challenges. For some Parkinson´s sufferers crossing their living room is their Everest. Setting and achieving smaller physical goals generates strength to carry on and achieve the much bigger physical challenges. Seize every opportunity and take it as far as you can go. Strength is not a physical thing. Strength is deciding to never give up and having the courage to take the next step. This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

There is a world of people out there with the same thing as you. ´ ‘Strength is a state of mind, never, ever forget it. ´ GUEST RESOURCES Alex Flynn website Twitter Facebook VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Take the opportunities as they come. If you discover that you cannot follow your dream for some reason, don´t give up find a new one. Spending time working at the coalface teaches you so much about your customer and industry. When making decisions, always ask yourself what impact it is going to have on your customer. Having a diverse and inclusive workforce brings many commercial benefits. When people with different perspectives work on a common goal the results are always better. Letting everyone express themselves in the most natural way creates energy and passion within an organisation. A good leader, leads by example and provides the framework for a motivated team to succeed. Johan has had to deal with multiple challenges at Easyjet - Brexit, Covid pandemic, data breach and shareholder activism. When faced with a big problem, break it down into pieces and assign a team to tackle each aspect. To make sense of a big problem and stay on track, focus on the outcome and what you're trying to achieve. Whatever difficulties have happened the day before, tomorrow is another day. When working as a leader, be yourself and be authentic. When you're younger you often feel you should behave in a certain way but with age and experience you learn to be more comfortable in yourself. Having mentors is critical to success Setting out to be proud of what you're doing gives you energy, and is a core part of Johan's true purpose Every day when you wake up you have the opportunity to be a little better than you were yesterday. Choose a career you feel passionate about - you're going to be spending a lot of time on it, so it needs to be engaging. Don’t be intellectually lazy, don´t be afraid to push things and go beyond good enough. BEST MOMENTS ‘Take the opportunities as they come.’ ‘Be at your best and do what you think you´re capable of doing and be a force for good. ´ ‘The best outcomes come by having people who have different experiences come together to achieve a common goal. ´ ‘Authenticity is absolutely critical when it comes to successful leadership. ´ VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series www.jeannettelinfootassociates.com www.easyjet.com ABOUT THE GUEST Johan Lundgren joined easyJet as Chief Executive Officer in 2017.

Being yourself, instead of putting up a front, makes things far easier in the long run. Regardless of the career you choose, being a good communicator brings huge benefits. Having people around you to support you is important for success. BEST MOMENTS ‘So often people are waiting for opportunities to be presented to them… you have to put yourself out there. ´ ‘Practice makes perfect, you have to practice the things that make you money.’ ‘It´s very difficult to do it on your own.

In this episode, Jeannette explains why having a purpose and strong reasons for living your life in certain ways is so important for happiness and success. How having a strong why will carry you through the lows, enabling you to achieve your dreams. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are two things (forces) that push us forwards. Needing to get out of a bad situation or having something we desperately want to achieve. The dream that you have needs to be so attractive to you that you are compelled to fulfil it. When things are not going well, pause and remember why you are trying to achieve that dream. The more compelling your reasons why are the more likely they are going to pull you forward. When bad situations force you to change, focusing on what you stand to gain rather than just on what you are about to lose will help you to stay positive. BEST MOMENTS ‘It is important to have a compelling reason why. ´ ‘Pull is something that attracts you to it, it´s compelling.’ ‘(when getting away from a bad situation) focus on moving towards something positive, rather than moving on away from something negative.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Paul Lowe founder of World Game-Changers, coach, mentor, writer, podcaster, and entrepreneur. His 3 Pillars of Life' model enabled him to overcome terrible life experiences. To leave a life of addiction, violence, and self-destructive tendencies behind. He and Jeanette discuss that journey and Paul shares practical advice that anyone can start using immediately to improve their life. Paul also speaks about philanthropy. Explaining the benefits, it brings to everyone and how to make it a part of your life to help you to improve your situation and that of others. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone needs a purpose, a why, to enable them to create a path through adversity for themselves. We all need the love and support of others. Take the good from bad situations. You can learn from them and use that to benefit yourself and others in the future. You also need to let go of the negative things about that situation. Let it go - are the most important words you can say to anyone. Self-love is something that a lot of people struggle with because they think they are being selfish. Self-love is not selfish – you need to be in good shape to be able to help others. Don´t wait to reach rock bottom to start working on dealing with your issues and learning to love yourself. You are never too old to learn, do something different and improve your life. We are all a work in progress until the day we die. If you aim to leave the world a better place than when you found it, you will do a lot of good. Little changes make a huge difference in how you feel and what you can achieve. Everyone has something to offer, which means we are all great, one way or another. However dark things get, don´t give up, there are people out there that care and will help. You will find a way through. BEST MOMENTS ‘I had neither the intellectual or emotional stability nor capability, intelligence or awareness... to understand that what was going off was raw survival. ´ ‘There´s always a way out.’ ‘If you don´t love yourself, you don´t like yourself and you don´t take care of yourself.’ ‘In life, you can only get on the back of one horse.

But wanted to do something for herself and have the freedom to make her own choices. Sometimes you need to be brave – stop what you are doing and try something else. Not everything needs to be planned out fully in advance. For Jeanette, the kind of business she runs evolved over time. Taking a step back and gives you the headspace to work out what you really want to do. As you age you become more self-aware which helps you to make wiser life choices. Growing as a person is important. It plays a big role in happiness and success. Don´t be afraid to try something new. When you put yourself out there into the world in a certain way, often opportunities come to you. Most successful people say that they “just put it out into the universe”. The new social media platform Clubhouse is a great way to meet new people, network and uncover new opportunities. The property industry attracts a lot of women, who are very successful at it. In business, working with a diverse group of people brings benefits and aids success. Being open-minded enables you to come up with ideas, not be afraid to do things differently and recognise opportunities. Being curious and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone enables you acquire new skills and grow fast.

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Tony Courtney Brown, founder of Bio-Resonance Clinic. Tony shares his story, including some truly traumatic events and issues that eventually led to severe mental health issues. He explains how he got through those tough times and managed to get his life back on track and was able to use his experiences to build a successful business. A clinic that works to help people to tap into the body's ability to heal and rebalance itself. Tony explains how everyone can regain their equilibrium, find their ´why´, and pursue that to enjoy a fulfilling life. KEY TAKEAWAYS When learning something complicated break it down into smaller steps to make it more manageable. If you are too stressed when trying to learn something complicated, it won´t go in. It is important to know your ´why´, if you don´t you will drift. When you simply drift through life you can easily get into a rut and end up spending most of your time doing things you don´t really like. The people you spend time with have a huge impact on the kind of life you lead. Self-belief is vital. Don't hold things in, you need to talk to someone about the issues you are facing in life. If you don't you are highly likely to suffer from mental health problems. Bringing your body back into harmony enables your it´s healing processes to work properly again. The human body is designed to heal itself. Work out who you are, stick with that and be true to yourself. BEST MOMENTS ‘If you are trying to learn something complicated and you´re too stressed you won´t take it in. ´ ‘What beliefs you have make a huge difference to what you do.’ ‘The human body is made to heal itself.’ ‘Tune into your gut, be guided by that.’ ABOUT THE GUEST Tony has encountered and overcome a number of challenges in his life including: Cultural and racial identity confusion Parental rejection and violence Mental illness including severe depression and a suicide attempt resulting in being sectioned and detained under the Mental Health Act. 29 sessions of Electro-Convulsive Therapy and 48 years of anti-depressants Homelessness and unemployment Addiction to drink and drugs A cancer scare which turned his life around Tony is now an advocate of natural health, having dealt with his demons and wants to help others discover the benefits.

In this episode, Jeannette speaks about the importance of going on your own journey and doing things at your own pace. She shares several examples of extraordinarily successful people who have done exactly that. Then quickly outlines how you can identify and follow your own path at your own pace. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone is different, which is why a one size fits all approach to life and careers does not work. People need to move at their own pace. For example, not everyone is ready to launch into a lifelong career immediately after leaving school. There is nothing that says you have to set up a successful business when you are still young. Many phenomenally successful people have not had a traditional university education. Some are even dyslexic. Some people never have kids, others have theirs with several different partners. Not everyone wants or needs a nuclear family to be happy. Einstein said: “Not everything that counts can be counted” (identified and quantified) If you don´t yet know what you want out of life, don´t beat yourself up. It will become clear to you over time. Don´t be pressured by other people and what you think is expected of you. BEST MOMENTS ‘Going at your own pace and creating your own journey is so important.’ ‘Embrace the fact that it’s your life. It´s not anyone else´s life. ´ ‘Choose the things that are going to make you happy and not someone else.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

In this episode, Jeannette interviews Dodge Woodall who is the founder and CEO of Bournemouth 7´s Festival. He has his own podcast and is the co-host of the Harry Redknapp podcast. Dodge started to make money at the age of 10 and has been an entrepreneur ever since. As a student, he spotted a huge gap in the market, ended up running 12 nightclub parties every week, then switched to festivals and decided to take the unique approach of combining sports tournaments with live music in a field. Dodge also explains how he found a way to deliver tailored sports kits in 4 instead of 12 weeks, changing the industry in the process. He also talks about the creation of his event management course, which enables students to gain a recognized qualification in months instead of spending years at university studying for an events degree. KEY TAKEAWAYS Win-win deals enable you to reliably make money. We are surrounded by opportunities to make a deal or sell. Being yourself is key to success. Keep your personal and work life simple. If you are passionate about something, do it - merge your passion with your profession. When you have an idea, get a brand logo made, taking that small step commits you to do something about it. Don´t let fear rule you, stop worrying about the future and live in the now. Stop feeling guilty about the past, you can´t change it, so don´t let it drag you down. Think about how you can do things differently and do it better. Finding weaknesses in other businesses, and finding solutions, is a great way to come up with business ideas and beat the competition. Be curious and ask lots of questions. CoVid has created opportunities as well as problems and will continue to do so. If something doesn't work, it's not a failure, you might just need tweak it. Just get up and do it!

In this episode, Jeannette shares effective ways to shape your personal and business brands in ways that achieve permanent change. She explains why what you tell yourself you are has such a profound impact on what you achieve. Jeanette shares 5 tips anyone can use to build a strong personal identity and a powerful brand. KEY TAKEAWAYS What you tell yourself you are has a big impact on what you can become. Most of us have at least some self-limiting beliefs. Limiting beliefs can be carried over from childhood or be because you have been in the same role for so long. The stories you tell yourself speak to your subconscious mind that is why they are so powerful. Set up your brand to reflect the type of business you are planning to end up with. Creating a strong identity for your company pushes you to deliver on that. None of this happens without you following through with action. In the business context identity equals brand. When you have a strong identity, you will own the space. Imposter syndrome leads to you getting in your own way. Identify the thing that makes you stand out from your competitors. Decide on what you want to create and achieve. Market the hell out of your personal brand. BEST MOMENTS ‘What you tell yourself you are is absolutely what you end up achieving and being in life.’ ‘What absolutely does make us happy is when we feel we´re moving forward and being true to ourselves. ´ ‘Identify and articulate what your competitive advantage is.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Steve Endacott, serial entrepreneur, director, chairman and founder of multiple travel, leisure, tech, and financial services businesses. Steve is unsurprisingly seen as a thought leader and, in the past year alone, has founded three new businesses and is involved with managing several others. After quickly outlining his varied career, including why at the age of 25 he said no to a huge opportunity and went traveling instead, Steve explains how he has managed to work at a senior level in several firms while founding and successfully running his own businesses. He shares details of how he manages his work-life balance, repeatedly building successful teams and handling wrapping up or selling a business. KEY TAKEAWAYS Travel makes you grow up quickly and turns you into a well-rounded person. Working in an environment that suits you enables you to flourish and achieve. Going bust teaches you a huge amount. When a business is in trouble, there sometimes comes a point where it is better to give up rather than carry on - fail fast, move on. The more people you have working for you the more emotionally engaged you are and the harder it is to give up and let a floundering business fold. There is no point in earning lots of money only to take it to the grave - make time to enjoy the rewards. Don´t forget about your partner at home, it is easy to get too wrapped up in work. Think about the people around you and treat them fairly. Keep a note of the ideas you have, so when you have time you always have something new to launch. Share the profits with the people who run the business and gradually step away. When it is time to sell it will be much easier to find a buyer. Build a team that includes skills you don´t have and sees things differently. BEST MOMENTS ‘Traveling made me a much more rounded, much more competent person.’ ‘The best thing that´s ever happened to me was failure. ´ ‘Work is one thing, but you´ve got to enjoy the rewards.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series ABOUT THE GUEST Steve Endacott has the unusual distinction of having extensive experience within both the corporate and entrepreneurial environments. Steve is now “Semi-Retired” having sold Holiday Taxis Ltd one of the business he co-founded during his Entrepreneurial career for £60.5m in January 2019. He however continues to invest in startup business and has recently launched new business to exploit the changing marketplace created by Covid-19. These include Rebound Consulting to exploit “Phoenix” opportunities in the travel sector Funky Face Mask, with 400k sales in 7 months of B2B facemasks. Canny Finance. FinTech marketing play using the “Travel Data lake” of customers travelling on holiday to promote a new foreign exchange master card offering 3% cash back Endacott is experienced, in moving from business idea, to prototype build, recruitment of management teams and raising funds to drive start up business forward. Steve also continues to Chair a number of substantial travel business such as Teletext Holidays and Rock Insurance.

In this episode, Jeannette shares some of the tips she has picked up over the years that have helped her and her clients to scale and grow their businesses. The advice she shares works equally as well for those workers who want to help the firm that they work for to grow. KEY TAKEAWAYS When it comes to growth you need a money mindset. If you do not believe that you can grow, how are you going to convince anyone else that you can do it and get them to invest? You need to know your customer. Especially what problems you are solving for them. Don´t try to spread yourself too thinly. Spend time with your customers in a close and personal way. Create something your customer cannot live without. Jeannette provides you with a few pointers to help you to do that. Learn how to over-deliver. Data proves this drives growth. Hire people who are smarter than yourself then get out of their way and let them do the job. Understand that there is good and bad debt. You can use debt to power growth. Every business needs liquidity to be able to grow. Use systems and processes so you can hand off work to others. If you can´t do that, your business growth is limited to how much you can get done. BEST MOMENTS ‘You have to get yourself in the right mindset in order to grow.’ ‘Do you really know your customer? Do you know them inside out? Are you in their heads? ´ ‘Hire people who are smarter than yourself.’ ‘If your business cannot run without you in it every single day it´s going to be very difficult to scale.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

In this episode, Jeannette shares 5 tips to help you to get rid of feeling guilty about things that you have nothing to feel guilty about. As well as how to process those feelings in a healthy way should you make a mistake or fail to do something. Jeannette starts by looking at the neuroscience behind why we feel guilty. She then shares her tips to help you break free of negative guilt cycles and avoid getting into them in the first place. KEY TAKEAWAYS Feeling guilty all the time and beating yourself up is not healthy. Sometimes you feel guilty about things you haven´t done e.g., not getting through your to-do list. Guilt performs a powerful social function – it helps to govern our behaviour. There is a good neuroscience reason behind feeling guilty. Jeannette explains the mechanism in the podcast. We all tend to blow things out of proportion and feel really guilty about relatively small errors. Doing one bad thing does not make you a bad person. Be kind to yourself and forgive yourself. Apologizing helps to assuage guilt, but you need to be careful about how you do it. Jeannette explains in the podcast. Learning from the mistakes you make and the things you do wrong is still important. It just needs to be done in a balanced way. BEST MOMENTS ‘Sometimes you can feel guilty even for the things you haven´t done.’ ‘Actually, our brains reward us for feelings of guilt. ´ ‘But when it comes to feelings of guilt, you know, sometimes we blow it up out of all proportion.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Mark Ormrod MBE, a Royal Marines veteran, who became a triple amputee when an improvised explosive device exploded while he was on foot patrol. Despite that, he recovered to the point where he now leads a full and active life and is a true inspiration to so many. Mark competed in 2 Invictus Games, winning 4 gold, 4 silver, and 3 bronze medals. Today, he is an inspirational speaker, podcaster, property investor and author who has also spent 10 years working in the charity sector. Mark explains how he managed to fight his way back to fitness after being told by one doctor he would never walk again. He shares some of the many lessons he learned. Including how this experience has shaped his life and enabled him to achieve so much since being injured. Including how it has helped him to succeed in business and his personal life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mark was the first triple amputee in the UK since WWI so there was no roadmap for his recovery. Having someone who has been through something before you provide guidance makes the world of difference. When you see someone else do what others say is impossible, you know you can do the same and it motivates you. To get back to walking Mark had to carry on even when he was in pain and bleeding. Incremental gains still get you there - 1% is still progress. If you have something big to achieve, you need to break it down into smaller realistic goals to get there. Tragedy can open doors for you and provide opportunities, but it is up to you to take the next step and take advantage of them. There are tons of ways to make a good living, especially online. Have the right mindset and just take action. Don´t overcomplicate things. It's amazing what a good cry can achieve, it really can purge everything out of you. If you are at rock bottom you have to set a goal and work towards it. When you get things back on track after tragedy, stay humble and find ways to give back. Don’t be afraid to push yourself out of your comfort zone. BEST MOMENTS ‘If there´s something that you want to accomplish the fastest and easiest way to do it is to find someone who´s already accomplished it.’ ‘In less than a year, I went from a guy telling me I´m going to be in a wheelchair to not even owning one. ´ ‘Incremental gains – 1% is still progress.’ ‘The resources are there if you want to go out and do something.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series ABOUT THE GUEST In the early hours of Christmas Eve 2007, Royal Marines Commando Mark Ormrod was out on a routine foot patrol in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan when he stepped on and triggered an Improvised Explosive Device. Thanks to the swift action of the men around him and the intervention of the Medical Emergency Response Team he was airlifted via helicopter to an emergency field hospital in a desperate attempt to try and save his life. An innovative and dangerous procedure carried out onboard a Chinook helicopter en route to the hospital did save his life. He woke up three days later in the UK in Selly Oak Hospital, Birmingham: Both legs amputated above the knee and his right arm amputated above the elbow. He was the UK’s first triple amputee to survive the Afghanistan conflict. During his recovery the doctors told him that he’d never walk again and that he should prepare himself for the rest of his life in a wheelchair. Now it would have been understandable for Mark to bitterly withdraw in a state of anger and depression and to resign himself to live life on the sidelines. It would have been easy for him to cash in his disability pension and whittle away the days, forever regretting the decision to join the Marines and to deploy to Afghanistan, but he didn’t. To the contrary he used his set back as a springboard for growth and reinvention. Today, Mark Ormrod is an internationally acclaimed motivational speaker, a peak performance coach, and the author of the award winning auto-biography Man Down. He is a source of daily inspiration for the thousands of people who follow him on Social Media. He has three children, a beautiful wife and an insatiable lust for life. He is a relentless charitable fund-raiser and a daredevil who has performed stunts that many able bodied athletes would find daunting. He has not used a wheel chair since June 9th 2009 and he jokes about the fact that children call him Iron-Man because of his high-tech prosthetics legs. As well as a peak performance coach he is a mentor and a role model to other amputees and an ambassador for the Royal Marines Association. His sense of humour is only equalled by his sense of wonder, love for learning and love for life. Mark Ormrod turned his personal tragedy into an on going story of personal success and he is now committed to helping others who may have suffered setbacks or feel they are not yet achieving their maximum potential to take charge of their lives, unleash their personal power and live a life with #NoLimits CONTACT METHOD http

In this episode, Jeannette shares 3 of the areas business leaders need to focus on to achieve success. The advice she provides applies to all business leaders regardless of the size of the enterprise they are running. Her advice applies equally to those that lead teams within a business. Jeanette takes her listeners through the tried and tested method that keeps her business growing. If you feel that you are wading through mud and are struggling to work out what to focus on, this podcast is for you. It shows you how to prioritize profit, growth, and brand reputation. KEY TAKEAWAYS You need clarity and focus to take your business forward. Those that lead teams within a company also need this clarity and focus. It is not unusual for business leaders to feel lost, at times. But you can easily solve that issue and find the clarity you need. Good people are essential – without them, you cannot take your business in the direction you have chosen. Sit down, without distractions, and identify the projects and tasks you are currently spending time on as a business. Identify whether profit, growth, or brand reputation is most important, at the moment. Jeanette explains how to do this in the podcast. Having worked out where your focus should be, it is time to create an action plan. Incorporating targets into the action plan will keep things moving forward. Periodically reviewing whether you are still focusing on the right areas for your business will ensure you stay current and relevant. BEST MOMENTS ‘People think you’re the boss, you’ve got all the answers, often that is not the case.’ ‘Create the right environment to get your head around where you are now. ´ ‘If you don´t follow up with action, it is meaningless really.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

Do you want to fly higher and faster with less effort? Listen to this podcast to start yourself on that path. In this episode, Jeannette interviews Rory Underwood MBE, a former RAF flight-lieutenant, England’s rugby union record try scorer, and now CEO of his consultancy business Wingman. During his 14-year rugby career, he became England´s highest try scorer, a record he still holds to this day! His RAF flight safety role and top rugby career both taught him how to perform to an exceptionally high level. Rory has since founded Wingman, a development and performance consultancy, to help businesses, teams and individuals create and sustain high performance. During the podcast, Rory explains why he founded Wingman and the unique techniques he uses to enable his clients to perform and fulfil their potential. Rory explains how he managed to combine family life with working full-time and playing rugby at the highest level, achieving the elusive work-life balance. Jeannette and Rory also discuss how his early life shaped his outlook and his approach to business. In the podcast, Rory shares a wealth of information that every business owner can benefit from applying, regardless of size or industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS With the right mindset and discipline, it’s possible to excel at several things at once - my job was flying jets for the RAF, my hobby was playing rugby for England & Leicester Tigers! Wingman covers all 3 aspects of Rory’s career of flying, sports and business. Strive to be the best you can be in everything you do. As soon as you know something let people know what’s going on – ‘work on the basis of no surprises’. It’s good to be optimistic, with a small element of pessimism, so you’re ready should things go wrong. A sense of resilience is really important to overcome and give things a go. Training, education and teamwork can be used to mitigate risk. Work-life balance does not necessarily mean 50:50, the split will be different for different people. As an entrepreneur you’re your worst boss, ‘you don’t pay yourself enough and don’t give yourself enough time off’ – it’s important to block downtime for yourself. Fundamentally as human beings we all make mistakes. Mutually beneficial relationships are key, and having the ability to work with like-minded people is a good place to be. For any business communication is key. In the podcast, Rory explains how to open up communication channels. If someone asks you what sounds like a stupid question, you have not explained it well enough. Being able to explain complicated things simply to potential clients helps you to sell more. Lots of people have the same challenges, so talk about it and you will get support and clarity Understanding what you as a company are trying to achieve and being customer-facing is essential. At some point as an entrepreneur you have to let go of the reigns High performance comes from having clarity of purpose, the right people, and efficient processes. Identify what is causing the drag in your businesses in order to lift your business and help you grow. Listen to anyone that wants to talk to you, but remember it is you that decides what to take from that conversation. BEST MOMENTS ‘I´ve always been an optimist with a small percentage of pessimism. Always looked on the bright side but also been ready for when it goes wrong.´ ‘The only mistake you’ll ever make is the one you don’t learn from’ ‘If you can´t describe something complicated, simply, then you don´t really understand it’ ‘There are lots of people out there who are facing the same interesting challenges, so talk about it’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series www.wingmanltd.com www.jeannettelinfootassociates.com ABOUT THE GUEST Rory Underwood is probably best known for his international rugby career.

In this episode, Jeannette is interviewed by Laura Muse for the Social Propertypreneur podcast. They discuss how Jeannette runs multiple businesses, at once, including property investing. She shares details of her work as a property investor, mentor, board advisor and consultant, including some of the advice and tips, she gives to her clients. KEY TAKEAWAYS Anyone can achieve their potential in life. Role models play a vital role in tackling inequality of all kinds. If you see a role where you can do 70% of it, don´t focus on the 30% you have no direct experience of doing. Apply anyway. Everyone is different. There is no one size fits all solution. A mentor will tailor their approach to suit you so that you can make fast progress. Self-belief is critical to success. Imposter syndrome really holds you back. Having a clear vision of what you want to do is critical. The buy, refurbish, refinance property business is a great way to create passive income. Once you get your business processes in place most things become copy and paste. The majority of people already have most of the skills they need to successfully run a property business. Within the property industry, people are generally happy to help others who work in the field. CoVid is causing financial hardship, which will continue, but there are always opportunities out there.

In this episode, Jeannette interviews Tej Singh who is a UK property investor, podcaster and personal brand expert. He took his portfolio from zero to £1.3 million in under 9 months and has built a phenomenal podcast Tej Talks already with over 600,000 downloads. Tej explains how he did this and discusses some of the mistakes he made, including why moving at a slightly slower pace would have been a wiser approach. Tej built a strong brand and network, mostly through social media, which gave him easy access to finance, investment opportunities, and the skilled people he needed. Anybody can do the same, Tej explains how in the podcast. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's all too easy to find yourself wearing golden handcuffs - making good money but doing something you don´t like. Work with people who have the same values as you. When starting a business, not rushing things enables you to learn valuable lessons that lead to you moving far faster, in the long run. Putting people first naturally improves your profit. Having a network of good people is massively beneficial. Social media is a highly effective way to build yourself a personal brand and a valuable network of people with the skills and trades you need. Building a strong brand presents you with opportunities and finance you would not otherwise have access to. On social media, be consistent and engage with other people´s content, which helps you to grow your brand. Podcasts are a great way to reach more people. If you run a podcast, answer the questions people ask and be yourself. When it comes to property or business being analytical and knowing your figures is essential. BEST MOMENTS ‘What you should be thinking is, I can do it, but should I do it?’ ‘If you put people first, your profits will naturally be much greater. ´ ‘When going through life, always question things.’ ‘Brave means doing things that other people are not willing to do.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series GUEST RESOURCES The Tej Talks Guide: Building a Profitable Property Business Instagram Tej Talks on Spotify tej-talks.com/ Google Podcasts Tej Talks Stitcher Tej Talks ABOUT THE GUEST Tej Singh is a property investor who grew his UK property portfolio from zero to £1.3 million in less than 9 months, through investor finance.

In this episode, Jeannette explains why it is important to celebrate the small things and the gifts along the way. She explains how to fit doing so into your life, even if you are extremely busy. Providing you with 7 simple steps to follow. KEY TAKEAWAYS Sometimes it is the small things that mean more than the big things. Don´t forget to enjoy the journey to success, pause to appreciate what you are doing. Little wins add up into incremental gains, so they should be celebrated. Stop thinking of failure as a bad thing. It isn´t, it is all part of the learning process. Spend five minutes consciously noticing things around you e.g., the birdsong. Doing so gives you a lift. Often, the things that are most important in life are nothing to do with work. Take time to think about those things. Don´t focus on what has not gone so well. Give yourself a break. Pause at some point in the day and think about 3 things you are grateful for.

They talk about how he started out as an actor then switched to working for newspapers and magazines, via English language teaching in Italy, before joining TTG, taking part in a management buyout and becoming the CEO. Dan and Jeannette discuss how thinking out of the box, diversifying, and being more inclusive have helped the business to thrive. He explains how TTG is working to make travel smarter, better, and fairer. Dan covers how the CoVid crisis hastened their development online, starting a membership offering and having a loyal motivated team has enabled them to stay strong through the pandemic. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being nimble enabled Dan to make a success of a business that previously was under performing. Diversifying further into digital and the events field has helped TTG to grow. Business owners need to answer the question of why they exist, to provide focus. Having a clear vision keeps you on course. Before you decide to do something, you pause and ask yourself if it fits in with your vision. As a leader you need to surround yourself with the right people, you can't know and do everything. Belief and resilience go hand in hand, they keep you going when things go wrong. Getting through hard times in your personal life helps you to build resilience that you can benefit from in your business life. Blind optimism is not good. But you do need to be stoic. To know that you will prevail, and things will pan out in the long-term. In business, it is important not to spread yourself too thinly. You need to focus on the things that bring you the biggest wins.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about two extremely powerful words – I am. She explains why they are so powerful and shares several ways you can use them to achieve what you want in life. The techniques she shares helps you to tap into the power of being clear about your goals, visualization, taking action, and gaining momentum. KEY TAKEAWAYS Achieving what you want in life starts with having the right mindset. Be clear on what you want to do in life and why. Once you are clear about what you want to be, instead of saying “I want to be XYZ”, start saying “I am XYZ”. Using I am phrasing influences you on a subconscious level. Your mind automatically starts to make decisions as if you are already the person you want to become. Visualising what it is you are trying to achieve or become and taking action is essential. Initially, the differences in the way you act will be small. But as you take each step, momentum will build, and soon the positive changes will come fast. BEST MOMENTS ‘Anything you want to achieve in life starts really with your mindset.’ ‘Who wants to settle for average, or mediocre, or to feel that you´ve not fulfilled your dreams? ´ ‘Visualise what it is that you´re trying to achieve and become. Then take action. Action equals results.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

If you get the chance to merge your passion with your work, do so. There are many commonalities between running a business and being a successful world-class athlete. Athletes and business owners need to set firm goals, measure their performance, then adjust their approach. You have to target your efforts. It's not enough to be busy. What you are doing has to move things forwards. Often, it is the small things that lead to the biggest gains. An athlete improving by just 1% can be enough for them to win. There are always opportunities, but you must prioritise wisely. Mindset is critical. Everyone is going to fail at some point. Failure is feedback, it is a normal part of the learning process. Over-confidence leads to complacency. Invest in educating yourself at all stages of your life and business journey. Being able to take sticky topics and simplify them enough so people can understand is a valuable skill. Stay true to your values. If you don´t you will lose passion and momentum. Being self-aware will help you to perform better whatever you want to do. Hold up a mirror to yourself. Be uncomfortable, then address your issues, and leverage those lessons. Be compassionate with yourself when you make mistakes. Address them but don´t beat yourself up about it. Trust your instincts. If something does not feel right park it or maybe, ask someone for a 2nd opinion.

In this episode, Jeannette reflects on the events of 2020 and how things worked out for her and Chris. She talks about which trends she expects to continue and about some of the new ones that she sees emerging. Jeannette shares where she and Chris are going to be focusing their business efforts and why. Including details of some big opportunities, anyone can potentially take advantage of. Jeannette provides you with 6 key questions that will help you to reflect honestly on the past year. As well as a set you can use to work out what path you should be following for 2021. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is important to pause periodically and think about how things have gone and where you are going. Identify what went well, what could have gone better, and what went wrong, and what you would do differently. Ask yourself what you have learned and achieved. Learn and use the stop, start, continue method. Determine what your options are. Then pick the ones that will take you forward and help you to achieve your goals. Make a list of what you need to do to get you there. 2020 has been a difficult year, it is important to reflect on and recognize how you felt. Think about the positives as well as the negatives, for example, the way the CoVid crisis made us appreciate each other more. Many of us have learned new skills to adapt to the CoVid situation. Businesses have been forced to innovate and pivot. The CoVid crisis led Jeannette to create a new mentoring business, take on new advisory clients, and start this podcast. 2021 is going to be all around resettling and regrouping. There is likely to be a recession and Brexit is sure to have an impact too. Home and flexible working are both set to continue. The businesses that have survived are leaner and meaner. When the time is right, they will be able to grow fast. There is a lot of pent-up demand for leisure, travel, better properties, and more leisure pursuits, all of which creates opportunities. BEST MOMENTS ‘When we have busy lives, we rarely stop to take stock of where we are.’ ‘We are so busy focusing on the next thing that we don´t actually give ourselves a bit of credit for what went well. ´ ‘When everything is plodding along quite nicely it is hard to pivot.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Lisa Fitzell who is an international businesswoman who has worked in the travel industry for 33 years. Lisa is the managing director of Elegant Resorts. She shares what she has learned while working in several countries and rising through the ranks with some of the best brands in travel such as Lunn Poly, TUI, STA Travel, Stella, Austravel, Diethelm and Elegant Resorts. Her and Jeannette discuss how reaching burnout and nearly dying from meningitis fundamentally changed the way Lisa approaches her life and career. Lisa grabs every opportunity. She explains how to do this without burning out, the role of mindset, mentors and never giving up on your goals. Lisa shares her thoughts on how to build a strong team, develop your future leaders and continually improving what you do. KEY TAKEAWAYS Love what you do but be careful to not let your job totally define you, so you get out of balance. Repeat clients and being recommended is the recipe for success for any business As a leader, you need to let go a bit and trust your team. You can´t do it all. Really look after your people. Investing in their wellness will pay for itself. Say yes when you are offered opportunities, you can use the skills you already have to work everything out and learn new ones. You do not have to have been to university to be able to succeed and grow. Treat every company you work for as if it is your own. Imposter syndrome is a big issue, you have to recognise it in yourself and work to eliminate it. Invest time in looking after yourself. If you don´t you will burn out and not be able to be there for your family and colleagues. Never feeling good enough can be incredibly damaging, so you need to watch out for this and be kind to yourself When things go wrong, e.g., COVID-19, look after your customers. Doing so builds loyalty and brings them back to you later. Having a good network of friends helps you in many ways. Create headspace for yourself. Take the time to switch off. Walking or yoga are good for this. Drop the guilt as a working mum and cut yourself some slack Find a morning routine that sets you up for the day. Don´t be afraid to move fast in business. Perfection does not exist, so there is no point in planning everything to the eighth degree.

In this episode, Jeannette explains why it is vital to set clear goals for yourself. To have smart objectives that take you to where you need to be. She shows you how to decide what the right goals are and set things up in a way that makes sure you achieve then using the SMART objective formula. You can also ask her to share a free download that will make doing this far easier. Everyone can still set realistic goals that will carry you through periods of uncertainly, like the ones we are currently living through. Jeannette suggests some business, career, self-development, money, educational and personal objectives to get you thinking about the goals you could set. KEY TAKEAWAYS Setting goals keeps you on track, stops you from wasting time, helps you to manage stress, and to develop the right skills at the right times. Set longer-term goals, then goals for this year, and break them down into specific objectives throughout the year. Even in these uncertain times, you need to set goals. In fact, it is even more important that you do so. Make personal development and health goals. Be specific with your goals. Set measurable objectives. Make sure the goals you set stretch you but are achievable. Your goals must be relevant to you and what you want to achieve. Set time limits for achieving each goal. Be clear about your reason why. If you don´t know your vision and purpose you will lack motivation. Make sure that your goals fit in with your core values. BEST MOMENTS ‘When you get into a car, if you don´t know where you are heading, how can you possibly get to where you need to be.’ ‘Take your big purpose and break it down into very specific objectives for the year. ´ ‘Having a clarity of purpose will keep you true to yourself.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Peter Greenwood the founder and owner of Greenwood Residential estate agents. Peter shares some of the experiences he had during his 37-year Royal Navy career and how he pivoted to set up his own successful estate agency business. Peter's shift from the military into the entrepreneurial world of estate agency demonstrates how to pivot, apply transferable skills and become a successful business owner. Peter provides the inside track on the estate agency side of the property sector. He provides great insight into; His early life and starting a career in the Royal Navy (+0-12mins) setting up a business from scratch (+12-20mins) training/starting up, mention of Susie Crolla at the Guild of Letting and Management, Emma Greenwood, Liz Poole, Jay. current trends in the market (+19mins) need for access to funds/cash to progress in current market the impact Covid-19 has had on the property market (+28mins) the perspective from both the estate agency and investor side (+33-38mins) as well as his thoughts on projections for 2021. (+38-43mins) (please note this podcast was recorded on the 3rd October 2020, before the second or now the third lockdown where even being thought about never mind being made law.) However, Peter still firmly believes that the rental market will continue to strengthen throughout 2021 and the Sales market will have a strong recovery once we see the end of these lockdowns, which will only coincide with the vaccination programme that is currently in progress. From March 2021 onwards the Sales Market will pick up right from where it stopped in October 2020, so if you need to move, and are asking yourself when is the right time, well ask no more, because it's right now! So start getting your property, market ready, give it kerb appeal and declutter as best you can, make it better than when you first moved there and remember what attracted you to it in the first place. Then confirm how much of a deposit you will be able to put down and how much mortgage will you need for your move, so that before you even start looking, check your budget. Then the fun starts, identify what it is that you want to find in the next property, list the ‘nice to have, would really like to have, or must haves’ for the house and also for the area that you want to move to. Remember some key COVID lessons - try to find a new property with a quiet room or an extra room you can use as a home office, outdoor space either a private or communal garden or a nearby park, how good is the broad band speed. Do you need to be in the catchment area for a certain school? How long is your commute to work? How good is the public transport? Take advantage of the time you now have in this lockdown to do this work in advance, if you are able to, whilst still following the full COVID-19 lockdown and guidelines, stay at home, stay safe and protect the NHS. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being able to pivot and apply transferable skills to a new business venture is possible for anyone wanting to make a change. Getting your branding and image right is a vital part of building a successful business. Continuous professional development is important. Fixing issues when things do not go well is a vital part of looking after your customers properly. Even in areas where prices are high, it is still possible to find properties to do up and split into rooms and make a profit. In most cases, it is the smaller, low-cost properties that generate the best yield. Often there is good money to be made with corner plot houses, provided you can extend. Changes in how property investors are taxed, Brexit, and the general election all slowed sales. People now want extra space for work and recreation and a good broadband connection. There is still a lot of pent-up demand, people desperately want better homes. Surveyors are under-valuing properties right now. Lenders want to be sure they will get their money back. The lending criteria are now far stricter. Unemployment is going to damp down the market, but not completely. The rental market should remain strong. There are property opportunities everywhere but different strategies work in different areas. BEST MOMENTS ‘It's important to do continuous professional development’ (+15min mention of Susie Crolla at the Guild of Letting and Management.) ‘I'm seeing undervalues of 5-10%, on a properties´ (+39min) ‘The lending criteria is incredibly strict right now’ (+39min) VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series www.jeannettelinfootassociates.com Greenwood Residential website ABOUT THE GUEST Peter Greenwood enjoyed a 37-year career in the Royal Navy.

This is the 5th podcast in the series that Jeannette has put together to help everyone to stay on track despite the upheaval we are all experiencing. It is all about creating order from chaos. Jeannette walks her audience through an easy to implement 5 step process that anyone can use to ensure that they get everything done and do not end up feeling overwhelmed. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most of us end up feeling that we are trying to keep too many plates spinning. When you feel overwhelmed it is all too easy to end up chasing your tail. Keep a log to find out where your time is going. In the podcast, Jeannette shares how to do this effectively. Use the Stop – Start – Continue approach to make sure you are prioritising the right things. Tidying up your workspace can be quite cathartic. Compartmentalise your day. Aim to do the most important things when your energy levels are at the highest levels. Create the right environment, for example, turn off your phone and eliminate other distractions. Turn your new routine into a habit by sticking to it for 21 days, and really embed that habit after 30 days. BEST MOMENTS ‘It can feel very chaotic and with that comes a sense of overwhelm, it can sometimes be quite stressful.’ ‘Ruthlessly compartmentalise your day. ´ ‘Match your highest energy with your most important tasks.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

Get a mentor and take advantage of coaching. Make yourself visible to senior management and take on projects that clearly add value. Jacky is by nature an introvert. In the podcast, she explains how she has managed to work around that. Don´t be afraid to make sideways moves to stretch yourself and learn more. Challenge yourself in your personal life too, e.g. run a marathon or something that will push you outside of your comfort zone. Never become aloof from your staff, bear in mind the pressures and challenges of their lives. Think about how you want to bring value to the business and focus on that. Sometimes you just have to really dig deep to get through difficult times in your career. You don't have to be aggressive to get on but having inner steel helps. Always surround yourself with really great people BEST MOMENTS ‘I realised early on that without that comfort and confidence, of having an education, I might hold myself back’ ‘If you can get coaching and mentoring, I would take it´ ‘A good education gives you choices’ ‘Don't be afraid to voice your opinion’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

In this episode, Jeannette explains, why improving yourself as a person is an important investment. Her very clever bank account analogy is sure to strike a chord with you, as well as help you to come up with a sustainable self-improvement plan that will work for you. Even if you only have 10 minutes or half an hour a day available to do so. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are many ways to improve yourself as a person. Learning a new skill, educating yourself about a new subject, improving your mindset or explore an interest more– all improve who you are. Becoming healthier in mind and body is a particularly important form of self-improvement. Virtually everyone has too many demands on their time, money, and resources. Nobody can give continuously. You are not a bottomless pit. It is essential that you take the time to refuel yourself. Learning broadens the mind. Enabling you to see things differently and uncover solutions for problems you have not been able to solve before. Being exposed to new things is inspiring and energising, which helps with keeping your body and mind strong. Putting your own oxygen mask on first ensures that you are there to save others. You do not need to spend hours every day to make great improvements. Ten minutes can be enough. Affirmations work. Verbalising what you want to achieve speaks to your subconscious mind, which guides how you act. Use the SAVERS method to start your self-improvement journey and keep you going along that path. BEST MOMENTS ‘Investing time, energy and resources in yourself is the best investment you will ever make.’ ‘It makes absolute sense for you to invest in your personal development, it helps you grow as a person overall. ´ ‘By actually verbalising what your dreams are, what you're hoping to achieve, you're speaking to your subconscious mind.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series The Miracle Morning Book ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

In this episode, Jeannette sits down with Miles Morgan, founder & CEO of Miles Morgan Travel, who is a true icon within the travel industry. Miles rose through the ranks of the travel industry to become MD of Travel House, Sales and Marketing Director of TUI and ultimately creating his own hugely successful business, Miles Morgan Travel. His business has won multiple awards and gained global attention when his marketing for his Titanic Memorial Cruise went viral, a funny and inspiring story that he tells in the podcast. Miles shares his entrepreneurial journey, including his time as a market trader, where he learned sales methods that still work well today. Miles and Jeannette talk about why and how he walked away from a top executive board role to set up his own agency. They discuss how to motivate yourself when things go wrong, why personal branding matters, how to manage stress and successfully tackle many more of the issues that entrepreneurs face. They also review the impact CoVid is having on the travel industry and the way forward. KEY TAKEAWAYS The way you present a product for sale can be just as important as what that product is. When you step outside of your comfort zone, you learn fast. When you climb the ladder, be careful not to end up too far removed from what you love doing. There will always be bumps in the road. Self-belief will help you to take those knocks and power through. As an entrepreneur, you´ve got to be prepared to put the hard work in. Doing what you love makes this far easier. You do not have to be hard-nosed to be successful in business. Being who you are is a far more effective approach. Miles views the people that work in his shop as being the firm´s “crown jewels”, he explains why in the podcast and how that affects the way he runs things. The constant drive of the people and their desire for the company to do better means the business grows naturally. Success breeds success. Be positive, it drives you forwards and helps you overcome all kinds of hurdles. BEST MOMENTS ‘Dress it (a product that is not selling) in a different way and all of a sudden you can sell it.’ ‘I always believed that the money would follow if I could get the job and prove I was worth it. ´ ‘If you're in love with what you do, you'll always do a better job of it.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

Periodically review who you have spoken to lately – this will highlight relationships that need a little work. Focus on those relationships that are critical to how your business operates. The fact that many of us are working at home means that it is now a lot easier to get in touch with people. Mix up the way you communicate and try out all forms of communication. BEST MOMENTS ‘Your network is your net worth.’ ‘I would always approach networking from the perspective of how can I help the other person? ´ ‘Even if you're not confident posting on social media, that is a great way to observe.’ ‘Vary the way you communicate.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

Running a property business enables you to set your own schedule and make money in your sleep. It's so easy to become consumed by a corporate role and work so many hours that you don't have time to stop and think. Laura´s 'aha' moment was when her husband asked her why she was working so hard for someone else. When working with a partner, know where each person´s skills lie, decide who will do what and stick to those roles. Mindset and self-love are vital, it makes a huge difference to who you are and what you can achieve. On social media be 100% authentic, stick to your values and be honest about what you have to offer. Social media used right, can be a great way to raise private finance.

Social media is just as effective, if not more effective than attending networking events. BEST MOMENTS ‘I went on this mindset journey and I feel I am a different person.
