Brave Bold Brilliant

In this episode, Jeannette talks about becoming an amazing communicator. A skill that enables you to get the most out of people. Jeannette explains how you can use the 5QF model to quickly improve the way you communicate. Something Jeannette has used throughout her career and entrepreneurial life. During the episode, she shares several examples of how she has used it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Effective communication helps you to really understand what is going on behind the scenes in your company or organisation. People expect conversations to start from a negative angle. When you approach them from a positive direction, they respond well and open up. Ask what´s working to open the conversation up positively. Listen intently. Using the 5QF model enables you to quickly find solutions. BEST MOMENTS ‘This five-question framework is super simple. But it’s really powerful. ´ ‘When you apply this (positive) approach, it’s quite disarming. In a good way.’ ‘Ask what are the gaps between where we are and where we want to be.’ 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 talks to Michael Heppell who is an author, speaker and coach who teaches people how to be brilliant. He talks about his journey including his work as a teacher, highly effective community fundraiser and entrepreneur. They talk about the power of networking, focus, not being afraid to fail, having a level-headed partner and more. Michael also explains how writing a book transformed him and his business. Including how anyone can do the same. He explains how to focus on the right things so that you can go from being good to being brilliant at what you do. KEY TAKEAWAYS Invest in yourself – What was the last course you went on that you paid for? When you have a mission, and everyone is on the same page it is amazing what you can achieve. Being clear on what you want to do and the positive impact you can have is a highly effective way to unlock your potential. Never be afraid of trying and failing. It is how you grow. Don´t let your ego take over. Writing a book is life-changing. It focuses you, makes you a better person and is the best business card you can ever have. Everyone has a story, something to contribute to the world. You achieve brilliance when you are not satisfied with being good. Being prepared to do the things others won't, leads to brilliance. Often, going that extra mile in just a few key areas of your life is enough to enable you to excel. BEST MOMENTS ‘Everyone´s passion needs to be found. But it's OK to fail on the way to finding it. ´ ‘Write a book. It’s the best business card you can ever have.’ ‘When opportunities show up, you say yes.’ 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 talks about why 95% of people never fulfil their true potential. Yet, with the right approach, it really is possible to achieve more than you ever dreamed was possible. Jeannette explains, in an easy-to-understand and implement way, exactly how to be a winner and stop settling for average. What she shares, in this episode, is tried, tested and practical. KEY TAKEAWAYS The first step is to understand what the signs of mediocrity are. Jeannette tells you how. You can learn lessons from the past. But must not be constantly looking back. A lack of purpose results in your wasting time and energy. Hang out with people who are a couple of steps ahead of you, winners. Confucius said – Those who think they can and those who think they can't are usually both right. The right mindset is vital. Elite athletes do not win gold medals by chance. They decide they want to be in the top 5%. Work on being the best, every day. Taking consistent action is critical. You don't have to be great to get started. But you have to start. Your journey is your journey. Don't compare yourself to others. BEST MOMENTS ‘If you know that there's more for you, then this session is going to be perfect for you. ´ ‘What are you doing for your personal development?’ ‘I have to work on my mindset, my self-belief, every single day.’ 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 Lord John Bird who is a British social entrepreneur and life peer. He is the co-founder of The Big Issue magazine, which helps the homeless or vulnerably housed to make their own money and transform their lives. He is a passionate advocate for the homeless. Lord John Bird explains why he is on a mission to dismantle poverty. To get rid of it, instead of continuing to try to make the life of the poor slightly more comfortable as we are doing now. It is an approach that does not work for those living in poverty or for society as a whole. KEY TAKEAWAYS Poverty is poverty of spirit, poverty of opportunity, poverty of support, not just a lack of money. About 40% of our taxes is spent on dealing with the fallout from poverty. We are not doing enough to get people out of poverty. Too much is spent making poor people slightly more comfortable, which is an impossible task. They need a way out of poverty. We don’t spend money on skilling people in their jobs to move away from poverty. Homelessness is mainly a class issue. People raised in poverty or in chaotic conditions are far more likely to end up without a home. Everyone getting a good education is vital. Successful people rarely create opportunities, but they do take them when they see them. BEST MOMENTS ‘We need to dismantle poverty and not simply keep the poor slightly more comfortable.’ ‘I had an absolute passion and belief in myself from the first go. ´ ‘Poverty is the driving force behind social dislocation.’ ‘Let´s get in there and create preventing businesses, that can prevent poverty.’ 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.

But I was brought up in an orphanage and served time in a young offenders' institution. During turbulent times, I also slept rough as one of London's homeless. Thinking back, I was very much a part of the problem.Early on, I realised that the only way to get out of the destructive circles into which I'd grown up was to give myself a hand up, rather than wait for others to give me a hand-out. Settling down in my twenties, I held down jobs in factories and, eventually, as a skilled printer. But I never forgot the hardship of my youth and the ways in which deprivation afflicts thousands of others in similar positions at the fringes of society.Twenty-nine years ago, using my experience of the print industry, I founded (the now world-famous) magazine, The Big Issue. The weekly street paper achieves its mass circulation by being sold on the streets by vendors who are homeless or vulnerably accommodated. The deal is simple: proceeds of each copy sold are split equally between the vendor and the publisher.Reflecting my own philosophy, the deprived and underprivileged are given a hand up through earning their money, rather than waiting for a hand-out which may do little more than trap them in the poverty they crave to escape. The Big Issue, alongside 110 similar magazines, is now published in 35 countries across the world, and always with the aim of helping those struggling for a break in society.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about the power of social media and explains how to use it in a way that grows your brand. Up until a few years ago, Jeannette was very quiet on social media. Now, it is the main way her mentoring clients find her. She quickly walks you through what Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn have to offer. Explaining what type of people use each platform and how they use them. As well as providing you with lots of effective content ideas for each of them. KEY TAKEAWAYS A lot of people are wary of or cynical about social media. Even Jeannette was until she started using it to grow her business. Facebook still has a lot of reach. Instagram is huge. There are 995 photos uploaded every second. 60% of Instagrammers go there to buy. LinkedIn has 722 million members. You need an engaged audience, so use the platform where the type of people you want to reach hang out. Analyse your posts to see which ones do better than others. Engage with the comments, to boost your rating and learn from your customers. Come from the point of giving. Provide free advice and help. Don´t worry about finding inspiration for content. Just produce things that will genuinely help your audience. You can run polls, ask questions, comment on current news and more, so will never run out of content ideas. BEST MOMENTS ‘Sixty-one per cent of brands are planning to increase their advertising budget for Instagram. ´ ‘Home on the platform where you feel your tribe is hanging out.’ ‘Analyse the engagement that you have.’ 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 Andrea T Edwards who is known as The Digital Conversationalist. She is an author, public speaker, podcaster and a communications expert that, over the years, has helped many companies, including Microsoft, to improve the way they communicate. They discuss how to develop cultural intelligence so you can get the best out of people regardless of where they are from or how they were raised. How communicating in the digital world differs and how to use social media to genuinely connect rather than to broadcast what you have done or think. Andrea also explains how to become more resilient and be ready for the radical changes that the world is facing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Be humble and listen. Pay attention to non-verbal forms of communication. Trust is key. When their leaders genuinely own something, it is easy for them to get their employees to do the same. Work out what your focus is and who your audience is. Don't let trolls stop you from using social media. There are more good people in the world than bad. If all of them spoke up they would soon change the narrative. Bad things happen because people stay silent. Honour who you are and what you need to be happy. Strength comes from being in control of your heart and mind. How you respond to things. BEST MOMENTS ‘To work out how to get the best out of the people that you work with from different cultures requires really deep empathy and sensitivity. ´ ‘In the English language, we use about 5,000 words regularly, yet there are about 700,000 aspects of body language.’ ‘We need to stop being scared. We need to step into our voices and get the world on track.’ 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 how building your personal brand benefits you and your business. She clarifies what that means and shares a simple 6 step process anyone can use to create and nurture their own personal brand. KEY TAKEAWAYS Your brand identity is the glue that holds everything together. When you are your authentic self you build credibility and trust. Even within a big business, your personal brand shows up. Your values and beliefs are a huge part of your personal brand. Think about the way you behave, regardless of what you are doing. Align your business with your personal brand. Stand out from the crowd but do so in an authentic way that is genuine to you. People will judge you anyway, so you may as well be judged for being yourself. BEST MOMENTS ‘The way you do anything is the way you do everything. ´ ‘Be clear on what you stand for, what you want and where you are heading.’ ‘If you think Virgin, you think Branson.’ 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 Bryan Clayton, the CEO and cofounder of GreenPal, an app that connects property owners with local lawn care professionals. Bryan is also the founder of Peachtree Inc; one of the USA’s biggest landscaping firms. He shares the story behind his two hugely successful businesses. How having a big vision, while still being able to focus on getting the vital day to day tasks done enabled him to grow fast. Bryan also talks about why entrepreneurs need to pay attention to their personal wellbeing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Think of each stage of your business as a level in a video game. Focus on conquering the challenges at that particular level. At level one of your business journey, don’t worry about things like your culture and brand, focus on getting customers. You have to have a big vision. But, at the same time be prepared to knuckle down and do the necessary small scale tasks. It is not possible to keep your life in perfect balance during the early days of a new business. If your business gets a bit stuck, push on. It is a lot harder to start all over again than it is to keep going. If you think you may want to sell your business, build your company in a way that makes it as easy as possible to do. All entrepreneurs experience low points. Celebrating the small wins will help you to get through those periods. Small wins compound and soon turn into big wins. Focus on one or two things at a time. BEST MOMENTS ‘Get on YouTube University. ´ ‘I am my business, my business is me.’ ‘Do fewer things that don’t matter.’ 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 about the benefits of having true accountability built into your business and personal life. Something she has found to be extremely helpful. She talks about how to be accountable yourself as well as how to use accountability to build a high-performing team. Then, shares a tool you can use to do exactly that. KEY TAKEAWAYS Making yourself accountable is essential. It has a huge impact on your team. Without accountability it does not really matter if you don´t get things done. At least it appears that way. Accountability is a core part of having a high-performing team. In the episode, Jeannette explains how to use a RACI to identify who should be doing what on your team. Using a RACI clears the fog away. Ensuring there is no replication of effort. The RACI ensures that people do not waste time and energy meddling in things for which they are not actually responsible. Having a mentor is an excellent way to hold yourself to account. BEST MOMENTS ‘Accountability has been one of the areas that has helped me to achieve the results that I have. ´ ‘Without accountability, there isn´t that push, that drive to get things done.’ ‘Get a trusted person in your network, that can hold you to account.’ 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.

As well as being the host of Speak to Sell Yourself And Your Business Show. They talk about public speaking, business, cultural diversity and much more. Jose also talks about how he learned to deal with being incredibly angry, most of the time. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you are comfortable in your own skin that is reflected in the way you communicate.

When you speak, appeal to all of your audience´s senses. Jose explains what that means. There are 700,000 aspects of body language, so your body language matters. Connect with your audience through story-telling. Don´t overwhelm. The mind can usually only take 7 to 9 pieces of information. BEST MOMENTS ‘Communication starts within. I am comfortable in my own skin. ´ ‘Appeal to all of the senses (of your audience) and use storytelling.’ ‘I am very happy to ask for help.’ ‘Hold yourself accountable, take action, be consistent.’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

If you do not feel that your team is performing at the absolute optimum, or you are struggling to build an effective team, this episode is very much for you. Having the right people in place and equipping them to perform at their absolute best is key to running a highly successful business. Jeannette explains what characteristics high-performing teams have. As well as the small signs that could signify that your team needs tweaking. Then, provides you with a 12-step process you can use to make this happen. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is not uncommon for business owners to think they have a high-performing team only to discover when they look at things in-depth, that it is actually failing in some ways. Be self-aware as a leader and honest about where you are. Having a clear vision that everyone buys into is essential. Automation and effective processes equip your team for success. You only need one person not to be a team player to hold everyone back. The principles for running a small team are the same as they are for running a large one. Use the nine-box matrix to identify rising stars and those that need help. Review your culture and get feedback. You can´t have high performance if you don´t try new things. Quarterly reviews enable you to see where you are, tweak and improve. BEST MOMENTS ‘Our people are the most important aspect of our business. They are its lifeblood. ´ ‘The relationship between your team members has to be absolutely watertight, open, honest and respectful.’ ‘Is your team working in an environment that stimulates creativity, energy, passion, and drive?’ ‘Have a mission up on the wall. It should be on the back of the loo door.’ 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 talks to Lyndsey Thomas who is an award-winning tourism marketing & comms expert, multi-business owner and entrepreneur. She established a female-focused travel brand just before Co-Vid struck. But Lyndsey persevered and today, the brand is growing fast. She and Jeannette discuss how Lyndsey pivoted and turned what should have been a disaster into an opportunity. Including how she pulled together with others to get things done. They also talk about how she coped with postnatal depression and several other challenges she has faced lately. KEY TAKEAWAYS When times are tough, you have to pivot and find a new way to get things done. Appreciate the strength of the people that you have around you. The right support is paramount. You can use negativity to fuel yourself. Working on your mindset is crucial, it creates the resilience you need for entrepreneurship. Understand you and focus on what works for you. Social media is extremely powerful, but you need to be careful with it. Lyndsey shares a cautionary tale, in the episode. BEST MOMENTS ‘You have to have tenacity; you have to have focus and vision. ´ ‘The people around you are what make your business flourish.’ ‘You have to ignore the haters.’ 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 about understanding what your purpose in life is. What it is that drives you to succeed, your why. Understanding your why enables you to be crystal clear on what you want out of life. Jeannette shares two simple models anyone can use to uncover their purpose. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most people rarely pause from their busy lives to think about their why. If you do not know what you want you don´t know where you are heading, so never actually get there. The vision cascade model is a top-down approach. Identifying your values is a critical part of understanding your why. Only have 3 to 5 focus areas. If you don´t know how to start, use Jeannette´s 2nd reason why model. Don´t worry if you can´t identify your reason why immediately. You will be able to do it, over time. BEST MOMENTS ‘We are so focused on managing the day to day that we don´t always think about our reason why. ´ ‘What do you want to be written on your gravestone?’ ‘You can get really clear on your vision, your reason why using the top-down and the bottom-up approach.’ 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 Gerald Ratner who is now a highly sought-after speaker, an author and entrepreneur. In the eighties, he transformed the UK jewellery industry and took the US by storm. In 1991, the Ratner´s Group netted profits of £125 million, which would equate to almost a £billion, today. They talk about that journey, including how he lost it all when he made a joke when speaking to the Institute of Directors at the Royal Albert Hall, in 1991. Gerald also explains how he went about building multiple brands under one umbrella, including top-end shops and why he prefers to use the acquisition model to grow a business. As well as speaking about the mental health issues he suffered from and what he did to solve them. KEY TAKEAWAYS For two years, Ratner Group shares were the fastest-growing on the FTSE100. What you say in a speech needs to be carefully tailored to fit your audience, the type of event and the venue. When things go wrong there is always a silver lining. Pre-selling membership is a great acid test for a business idea. Acquiring businesses rather than starting from scratch brings many benefits. It is much easier to face the problems rather than hide from them. Exercise every day it helps you to balance your life out. Look after your staff, it’s the right thing to do, it is good business and creates great loyalty. You are not going to achieve anything by being a wallflower. The key to success is making smart decisions. BEST MOMENTS ‘In 7 years, we went from losing £34,000 to being the world´s largest jewellery business. ´ ‘One the advantages of being sacked is that I´ve now become a much better husband and father.’ ‘Happiness actually is about giving things to people not just taking things.’ EPISODE RESOURCES Gerald Ratner: The Rise and Fall and Rise Again - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gerald-Ratner-Rise-Fall-Again/dp/B07732GQTG Reinvent Yourself - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Reinvent-Yourself-Reinventing-Your-Successful-Opportunity/dp/1909846570/ Gerald Ratner´s full 1991 speech - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj9BZz71yQE This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

He observed that “the people who shouted the loudest and appeared to give the best offers sold the most”. Ratner joined the family business in 1966 and built up an extremely successful chain of jewellers during the '80s, of which he was chief executive. The shops shocked the formerly staid jewellery industry by displaying fluorescent orange posters advertising cut-price bargains, and by offering low price ranges. The Ratners Group consisted of Ratners, H. Samuel, Ernest Jones, Leslie Davis, Watches of Switzerland and over 1,000 shops in the US including Kays. Ratners was one of the few British retailers to succeed in the US. Gerald Ratner was, until 1991, one of the UK's most successful and well-known businessmen. Unfortunately, he went down in history when, at a corporate speaking engagement for the Institute of Directors, he jokingly described one of his non-jewellery products as “total crap” and compared another to an M&S prawn sandwich; suggesting the sandwich would last longer. Gerald Ratner was, until 1991, one of the UK's most successful and well-known businessmen. Unfortunately, he went down in history when, at a corporate speaking engagement for the Institute of Directors, he jokingly described one of his products as “total crap” and compared another to an M&S prawn sandwich; suggesting the sandwich would last longer. This, now infamous speech, spelt disaster for both Gerald and his company, Ratner Group, the world's largest jewellery retail company which included H Samuel and Ernest Jones, of which he was the Chairman and Chief Executive, However, Gerald's story of how he dealt with the aftermath and returned over a decade later to become, once again, a major player in the online retail sector is a remarkable journey of perseverance, passion, resilience, entrepreneurial skill and a remarkable lesson in overcoming crisis and adversity.

In this episode, Jeannette continues her talk with Fred Finn, the lawyer, entrepreneur, and public speaker that holds the Guinness World Record for being the person who travelled on Concorde the most. Unsurprisingly, he has many stories to tell about the plane and the many celebrities he travelled with on Concorde. Fred talks about Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, and many others. He shares more travel tips. Including how to stop Delhi Belly in its tracks. In this episode, Fred also digs a little deeper into some of the life lessons he has learned during his long and adventurous life. He talks about the things that have helped him to weather adversity, stay cool in dangerous situations, recover from losing everything and enjoy several successful careers, working in different sectors. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone takes wrong turns in life. But we can all recover from our mistakes and come back stronger. Even if you lose all of your worldly goods, you still have your skills, so you can still come back from that. Having the right attitude protects you from all sorts of stress and pain. Don´t let yourself be bullied. Talent shines through. You can tell when a waiter or receptionist is going to have a great career. Whenever you go can take a few moments to encourage others. The airline industry has got to overcome its greed. Fred explains what he means by that in the episode. Talking to your customers who actually use your service is critical. Fred explains how airlines like BA have tapped into his travel experience. BEST MOMENTS ‘The first time I met her (Dolly Parton)…. She told me naughty jokes for nine hours. ´ ‘If you make a wrong turn, you can make it a right turn. You can pick yourself up ‘You can make friends and relationships wherever you go.’ ‘Don´t let the bastards grind you down.’ 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 shares a really simple formula for success. One that you can apply to your life, your business, or your career. She starts by sharing the three simple things everyone needs for success. Then, provides several easy strategies you can use to follow that winning formula. KEY TAKEAWAYS Believing in yourself is essential. It is OK to have gaps in your knowledge. You can fill those gaps. Learn something every day. Get clear on your purpose, and what you want. Brainstorm to reveal to yourself what that is. If you don´t take action nothing is going to change. Write a plan. Then, work that plan. Sometimes moving backwards or sideways is OK. It happens to all of us. Taking action in the moment gives you momentum. BEST MOMENTS ‘The formula for success boils down to three aspects. ´ ‘Just brainstorm all of the things that you want in life.’ ‘If we don´t take action, every single day then we’re just kidding ourselves.’ 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 Nancy Allen who runs a 7-figure property portfolio, while also working part-time as a GP. In the episode, she explains how suddenly falling sick caused her to re-evaluate her life and decide to become a property entrepreneur. Nancy talks about how she built a serviced accommodation. Before, getting into property development. Nancy shares some of the lessons she learned on the way. Including, practical tips for entrepreneurs. As well as talking about how she now stays physically, mentally, and emotionally fit, which supercharges her ability to perform and get what she wants from life for her and her family. KEY TAKEAWAYS Always be learning. You can learn to do most things. Guard your credit rating. Being able to quickly raise affordable financing is invaluable. Don´t undervalue yourself or your services. There is nothing wrong with making a fair profit. If you offer something extra, shout about it in your marketing. If you have doubts, go with your gut feeling. Look after yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. Actively switching off your body and mind really does reset you. It is important to have goals, but ones that fit in with true work/life balance. Accept change and embrace it. Hire the right professionals, they are part of your team. Without them, there is no success. Do your due diligence when hiring people and use recommendations when possible. There are only 24 hours, hire the right help, you can´t do everything yourself. Property development transforms lives, it builds communities. Start small, succeed, then set bigger goals, and take things to the next level. When buying property, visit it personally and do so at different times of the day. BEST MOMENTS ‘I thought, I have no recurring income. If I can´t work, I´m lost…all of my eggs were in one basket, my profession. ´ ‘Always guard your credit rating.’ ‘We all have the ability to create the life we want.’ ‘Employ the best people to get you to where you want to go.’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

At that stage of her life, she was working incredibly long hours, while looking after a young family. The stress eventually led to her burning out and ending up in a hospital bed. That shocking experience led to her recalibrating and becoming an entrepreneur. She taught herself how to make money from property. Starting out by using the Buy to Let (BTL) model. Nancy later added Serviced Accommodation (SA) to the mix. That business took off, but Nancy wanted a fresh challenge, so began developing and creating new homes. In under 5 years, Nancy went from zero to owning a 7-figure property portfolio. Today, she runs that business alongside her experienced team, which has freed her up to work as a GP once again.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about why having financial clarity for your business is so important. She explains why you might need to raise finance, what you need to consider when doing it and how to go about doing so. Jeannette is not a financial advisor, but, over the years she has successfully secured finance for several of her businesses. The advice she gives is grounded in experience, practical, and quite easy to use. If you want to gain an insight into leveraging your assets, crowdsourcing, raising money through shares, investor capital, and much more, just listen to the episode. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most businesses need to raise capital at some stage. When you are scaling, day-to-day costs tend to accelerate. You may need cash to cover the cost or materials to fulfill an order for a new customer. Before you start to grow, think about how you are going to raise capital. Be clear about what you will use it for and how much you need. Think about how long you need the finance for. Be wary of giving away too much equity, too soon. Personal or business assets can be good sources of internal finance. Many people forget to consider using the overdraft facility on their business bank accounts. There are pros and cons of raising finance using shares. Jeannette covers some of them, in the podcast. Crowdfunding can be tricky, but it can also double up as a form of market research. BEST MOMENTS ‘In order to expand and grow, you might need finance to support the day-to-day running costs. ´ ‘Start with the end in mind.’ ‘Crowdsourcing involves a large number of people investing smaller amounts into a business.’ 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 Jamie Waller who is a serial entrepreneur, author, philanthropist, and much more. He talks about how he shook up the debt enforcement sector. Jamie and Jeannette speak about why and how he wrote his book Unsexy Business which celebrates under-rated businesses. Ones that are essential and successful, but not appreciated. They also discuss how to overcome the lack of social mobility in the UK. As well as how he managed being betrayed in business. KEY TAKEAWAYS The debt enforcement business model is sound, yet many people do not view it positively. In the UK, the debt enforcement business has changed drastically, yet its reputation has still not been transformed. There are lots of unsexy businesses out there that are essential and successful yet are not appreciated. A lack of social mobility is still an issue in the UK. The Princes Trust really works. It is a great place for young people to learn how to start a business. In the UK, people still react negatively when people are successful in business. Be honest with yourself and clear about what your purpose is. Your purpose evolves over time. Retiring at the wrong time in your life leaves you purposeless. Put your best self forward, at all times. BEST MOMENTS ‘There are businesses that are brilliant and just because they’re not shiny on the outside they are not respected.’ ‘Everybody has the right to be paid what they are owed, but not at any cost.’ ‘I’m not going to carry a grudge around.’ 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 Nick Irving, the Director, and Head of Aviation Practice at Howgate Sable. He explains how they are expanding the business and entering new international markets. They discuss how CoVid has changed the industry and why it has become harder to recruit aviation executives. Nick also talks about how the industry managed during the pandemic. In particular, how they changed the way people worked very quickly and dealt with having to suddenly let a lot of employees go. Nick also shares several tips that anyone who wants to maximize their potential and advance their career can use. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding where the business is and what direction they are moving in is an important part of executive recruitment. Sometimes you have to tell a company that they do not pay enough to attract the right types of candidates. The aviation industry is rebounding faster than expected, after CoVid. A lot of talent has left the aviation industry as a result of CoVid. It forced people to re-evaluate how they were living and working. There are lots of jobs out there, but it is really hard to fill those roles with good people. Networking is the key to being noticed and approached when important positions open up. Treat people with the same respect when they leave as you do when you welcome them to your business. To be a good leader you do not have to be academically bright, but you do need to be streetwise. Network, look for opportunities, and accept help from mentors. Know yourself and be true to what you are good at. BEST MOMENTS ‘We will whittle that list down to a shortlist of three or four and present it formally to our customer. ´ ‘If you focus on performance, the results will always come.’ ‘I´ve had mentors all the way through. Sometimes without me even knowing it.’ 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 Mike Batcup who is a designer, architect, and the director of Batcup Architecture. He provides an insight into the role an architect plays in helping clients to create new buildings or transform existing ones. Including providing an overview of the main pitfalls involved in this process. Mike shares advice about managing the planning process, budgeting, dealing with the party wall act and several other subjects. He and Jeannette also discuss why investing in property is still worth considering. Including talking about the current state of the UK housing market and what is likely to happen in the near future. KEY TAKEAWAYS Architects guide their clients so that they end up with the building they wanted. The more you tell an architect about what you want to achieve the better the result will be. You need to be flexible when building or reforming a property. Cost analysis and planning are critical. Always slightly overestimate the costs. Never try to shortcut the planning process. Doing so always turns out badly, in the end. The party wall act is there to resolve disputes between neighbours and protects both parties when work needs to be done. The act requires you to notify neighbours of work, but they cannot stop you from doing it. If you invest in property. Over the long term, you will normally make a profit. At some point, the UK property market is likely to slow. In London, the value is not in the bricks and mortar, it is in the land. It is not unusual for people in London to buy property, and then knock it down. Be careful about what you get involved in. Pause regularly and review what you are doing. BEST MOMENTS ‘Part of our job is to show the client that they can actually achieve more than perhaps they were thinking of. ´ ‘Do it properly. Do not try to cut corners.’ ‘Your future will be what you make it.’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about creating a truly customer-centric model for your business. Something that is essential if you want to become the go-to supplier or service provider, grow fast and be able to sustain that growth. Jeannette shares a model that she has used repeatedly, with great success, over the past 27 years while running businesses across several different sectors. A model that she is still using for the three businesses she currently owns and runs. One that can easily be adapted to enable businesses to better understand their customers and work to meet their needs. Turning them into loyal repeat customers. KEY TAKEAWAYS A lot of businesses fail to fully understand their customers. Create products and services that are targeted at the right customer segments at the right time. Differentiate between your different types of customers. Check in with your customers and review your data regularly. Their needs evolve, so you need to keep up with them. Understand the composition of your customer pyramid. Jeannette explains how to do this, in the podcast. Intentionally move your customers up the pyramid to turn them into high-value repeat buyers. Knowing your customers well plays a big role in your generating higher profit margins. Any business of any size can apply this customer-centric model. BEST MOMENTS ‘Get closer to your customers, understand them, and drive more value for them. ´ ‘Spending time with customers on the ground is absolutely invaluable.’ ‘Create specific marketing strategies for each customer segment.’ 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 Jo Balfour, managing director of The Cambridge Rare Disease Network (CRDN). She explains how she went from being a teacher to setting up and running a charity that provides support for the thousands of people with, often untreatable, rare diseases. She and Jeannette cover a wide range of subjects. They discuss how Jo learned to push herself well beyond her comfort zone to grow her skill set and achieve more within her work life. They talk about, why rare diseases impact far more people than we realise. They discuss the work CRDN, HealX and others do to help people impacted by rare diseases to get their voices heard. An approach that is proving to be highly effective. One that is leading to change. Including better facilities for the disabled, faster diagnosis, more targeted research, new drug, and treatment options. All of this is achieved through rare disease communities that are made up of people who support each other. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are around 8,000 rare diseases. Only 5% can be effectively treated. With rare diseases, data is powerful. If you think something is not quite right health or development-wise, keep a diary of issues. Find your tribe. Seek out others in a similar situation. They will provide highly targeted guidance and support. Get involved, and share. Charities need the experience and voices of the people they are there to help. Eighty percent of rare diseases are genetic, so genome sequencing is proving to be an important diagnostic tool. When running a charity that helps people it is vital to listen to those you are trying to help. When working with large groups of people with quite different needs, find the common threads, the core challenges. When you address and find effective solutions for the core challenges you help everyone. Don´t be afraid to take risks and apply for jobs you are not 100% ready for. Learn on the job. Work collaboratively. Recognise and welcome other people´s skills and experience. If you have a passion that drives you, everything will eventually fall into place. Cash donations and fundraising are great. But giving your time and sharing your skills is also a powerful way to help a charity. Big problems get solved step by step. Take that first step. Start with the basics.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about raising finance to fund growth. How to do so with confidence, so that you quickly source the funds you need at the best rates. She starts by looking at the different reasons businesses need finance. Understanding what you want to achieve plays a big role in how you approach the task of doing so. As does whether you want to borrow for the short or long term. How to weigh all of this up and make the right decision is explained, in this episode. KEY TAKEAWAYS Even small business may need to borrow. For example, to cover start-up costs. At some stage, you may need finance to help you with your running costs.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Allan Kleynhans who has been described as a Lexicon of human development and potential. He has studied psychology, philosophy, the behavioural sciences, and consciousness for 33 years. Now, he is an international motivational speaker and coach. Allan talks about how growing up in apartheid South Africa and his time in the military affected him and led him to working to help others. He explains how he learned to turn what were awful experiences into something beneficial. Including how he faced up to the things he had done and witnessed and learned from them. In the process, becoming a force for good. Allan also speaks about becoming a sought-after public speaker. KEY TAKEAWAYS We all have significant emotional events that shape us as human beings. Hard times teach us a lot, but they also leave a mark. We all need to learn how to look for the gift in the challenge. Turn adversity into a benefit. Remember everyone is going through their own battles. Be kind to yourself and others. Often, just smiling at someone is enough to give them a lift. Even if you are terrified of public speaking, do it. You will grow in confidence and transform your life. When you reach the point where you are comfortable with who you are the world opens up to you. Stop worrying about what people think. They are going to judge you anyway, so just be the best version of yourself. Learning to engage with other people is one of the most powerful things you can do. Get rid of the idea you should not speak to strangers. You have to connect with others to get things done. Everything is energetically connected, so there is always some sort of benefit to whatever we do. Reading is a great way to learn, inspire yourself, and help you to cope with bad times. Be brave enough to be yourself and let your light shine. BEST MOMENTS ‘Growing up in that kind of environment, on the street, is very brutal. ´ ‘I believe, with conviction, ... that every single adversity has within it the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit.’ ‘One of the most powerful things you can do is to learn to speak in public.’ ‘Stop fighting against yourself all the time.’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

His vast knowledge and expertise as a passionate and highly skilled facilitator on the subjects of human behaviour, communication, self-mastery, conscious leadership, and spiritual psychology have helped many thousands of people to make significant personal and professional breakthroughs. He loves helping people transcend the limiting mental constructs of their human psyche to create lives of true fulfilment, outrageous success, and authentic self-expression. Inspired at a young age by Napoleon Hill’s classic work, ‘Think and Grow Rich,’ Allan’s search for answers was driven by his own significant problems. When he discovered the book, he was suffering from severe post-traumatic stress caused by his time serving as a soldier in the Angolan war. His PTSD led to other problems, including emotional distress, severe anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. His quest for knowledge and understanding led him to many different modalities for transformation. He has studied and worked with the biggest names in the self-improvement industry. Allan created his own workshop, 'AWAKEN', which allows participants to deeply explore the principles of human potential, spiritual psychology, and personal transformation. The workshop helps people to understand their true spiritual nature, which allows them to transcend their limiting mental paradigms, transform their problems into opportunities and find their true purpose here on earth. He is a master facilitator and has been teaching and facilitating workshops for 20 years. He is also in high demand globally as a keynote speaker and has shared stages with Tony Robbins, Grant Cardone, and Gary Vaynerchuk. As a Master Coach, he has coached and worke

The tips she shares in this podcast are all tried and tested. Jeannette has used these tips herself, as have them multiple mentees she works with. So, you can be sure that the information she shares here works in today´s business environment. KEY TAKEAWAYS Some of these tips sound obvious. But, often, it is the simple things that work. Be super clear on what you want in your career. Setting a timeframe will push you to take action. Don´t settle for a below-market value rise when you get promoted. Ask for the market rate. Your CV needs to be a living document, which you update several times a year. Capture data that showcases your achievements and add that evidence to your CV. Network externally as well as internally. Be proactive, and constantly nurture your network. Turn internal decision-makers into fans of you. Volunteer for projects. Every quarter, discuss your next career step with your manager. Most senior managers want to pass on the baton, to help people to progress. So, finding a sponsor is rarely difficult. Public speaking and becoming the go-to person for certain issues are powerful ways to boost your profile and networking. Post valuable information on social media. Get yourself a mentor. Do this regardless of how senior you are. Make it clear that you are ready to be promoted. BEST MOMENTS ‘One of my mentee clients…increased his salary by a huge 150,000. So, I know this works. ´ ‘Always be ready, never be on the backfoot.’ ‘Put yourself in the shoes of your boss. In the shoes of your MD, of your CEO.’ ‘Be brave and bold, so that you can unlock your potential.’ 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 about evaluating and grabbing opportunities. This dovetails nicely into a previous episode where she explained the various ways you can grow a business. Using the information she provides here, will enable you to be able to quickly determine which options and opportunities are the right ones for you and your business. This is especially important, because, often, we cannot see the wood for the trees. A state of mind that leads to inaction, stagnation, and ultimately failure. Putting what Jeannette shares into action, will ensure that is no longer an issue for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Very often we can´t see the wood for the trees. We can´t identify the right path, so end up doing nothing or making snap choices. Regardless of the size or type of business, you are running the principles Jeannette shares in this podcast are the same. Identify the inorganic and organic options for growth. Jeannette shares examples and explains how to capture them. Score each opportunity against a list of criteria e.g., setup cost and risk. Give yourself headspace when doing this. The assessment method shared in this episode can also be used to make decisions about which opportunities to pursue in your personal life. BEST MOMENTS ‘When you start opening your eyes and ears, you raise your vibration and suddenly there´s a myriad of opportunities. ´ ‘It´s about scaling up with confidence having done a proper assessment of the different options available to you.’ 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 Jeremy Jacobs who has founded, run, and successfully sold 10 companies, in just 15-years. Before this, he created and managed multi-million-pound marketing campaigns for some of the world´s biggest brands. He explains how to shut out the voices and make decisions that are right for you. Something Jeremy did when he closed his multi-million-pound business and walked away. They discuss the role failure plays in improving your life and how to turn it into a positive. Jeremy also talks about living with ADHD, depression, and dealing with addiction. He also shares details of his new podcast which will help people to live the life they really want and set up businesses that fit in with that lifestyle. KEY TAKEAWAYS You need to focus on what works for you. Give yourself permission to stop. Don´t be afraid to ditch a toxic lifestyle. Your business or career is just one aspect of who you are. More people are pushing back against the idea that success should be measured primarily in terms of your material possessions. Build your business around your life. Not your life around your business. You have to select your thoughts in the same way you select what you wear, every day. Seek out people you can trust and openly discuss your personal issues with them. Understand and practice self-love and self-care. Weigh things up, but don´t forget to listen to and trust your gut feeling. BEST MOMENTS ‘It is really difficult to shut out all those voices and make a decision for you. ´ ‘Give yourself permission to stop and change.’ ‘I´m going to build a business around my life. Not a life around my business.’ 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 covers the subject of scaling a business or a department you run for a large organisation. The advice she shares is from personal experience. She has successfully done both of these, many times throughout her 29-year corporate career. Jeannette has set up, grown, and is currently running three six-figure businesses. She has also supported many of her mentees through the process of massively scaling their businesses. So, you can be sure that the advice in this episode works and is highly practical. She walks you through the options. The different approaches you can use to scale a business. Then, she explains how to choose the ones that will work best for you and the type of company you run. KEY TAKEAWAYS Regardless of the size of a business, the approaches that can be used to scale them are the same. How you can apply them is what determines which approaches should be used and in what order. Making your existing business work harder is organic growth. In the podcast, Jeannette shares 12 of the approaches she has used, including examples. Adding a new form of distribution, e.g., in-store pick-up or selling online enables you to reach new types of customers. Increasing prices to make a higher profit, but doing so without losing customers. Segmenting your customer base improves your understanding of them, then improves your ability to target them effectively. Improving cash flow makes it possible to scale faster. Mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures are examples of inorganic growth. All of which Jeannette has done many times. Make sure your values are aligned before merging with another company. It´s not all about the finances. Acquiring a competitor is an extremely fast way to grow your market share. BEST MOMENTS ‘Regardless of the size of your business, the (scaling) options are pretty much the same. ´ ‘I have personally done a lot of mergers and acquisitions …. Some with values of £600 million.’ ‘Review your supplier base and the commercial terms you have with that supplier.’ 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 Lindsay Garvey-Jones and Julie Nunes. Two inspiring leaders from the travel sector. They talk about, the often-taboo subject of menopause. Something that impacts society as a whole as well as the women who are suffering from the, often debilitating, symptoms of menopause. They do this partly by sharing their own experiences and what is helping them. Including how the menopause has impacted them physically, mentally, and emotionally. In the process of doing that, they discuss, sex during menopause, HRT, herbal remedies, diet, exercise, and sleep. Including talking about the things anyone can do to support themselves while their body adapts. They also discuss how business owners can make, often small changes, to support their employees better. Making it easier for women to continue to work despite their menopausal symptoms. KEY TAKEAWAYS The menopause is not a female-only topic. It affects everyone. Including the family, friends, and colleagues of women who are going through it. There are 35 symptoms of menopause. Being self-aware will help you and your doctor to manage your symptoms. Seek out a GP that understands the menopause. Not all of them do. Mental health is a big issue. Yet, often, the wrong treatment is prescribed. Invest in yourself. You have one body to carry you through life so need to be kind to it. Don´t ignore or just live with vaginal dryness. Doing so can lead to problems with your urinary tract. Speak to your partner about sex and be open to exploring new ways of enjoying sex together. In the UK, 900,000 women have left the workforce due to menopause symptoms. With a little support, many of them could have continued to work and contribute. Currently, most workplaces do not provide support. But this is set to change. How, is discussed in the podcast. There are lots of free things businesses can do to make things easier. Men need support too. Why that is and how they can be supported is discussed in the podcast. BEST MOMENTS ‘The symptoms of the menopause can actually last for up to 20 years. ´ ‘Every single GP practice, in the UK, should have a practitioner that is dedicated to the menopause.’ ‘Men really suffer as well and sometimes feel a bit ashamed that they haven´t supported their partners.’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Having children at an early age, my life has been a juggle of working full-time, juggling life as a one-parent family, and now it’s come full circle as I embrace grandparenting. I’ve always been passionate about equality inside and outside of the workplace and worked closely with my son’s school to provide additional support and tools to children with dyslexia. When the menopause hit me like a steam roller, I knew I had to share my story to encourage women in our industry to realise they are not alone and my goal is to reach out to them to get the help and support we all deserve, hence co-founding Travel Talks Menopause with Lindsay. Lindsay Garvey-Jones A 34-year career in the travel industry 10 years with Holiday Extras as National Retail Manager Sitting on the Board of Directors for AWTE since 2014 ensuring that women in our industry are able to reach their full potential, build confidence and develop skills.

In this episode, Jeannette walks you through how to change your thinking to maximise your results. She explains how you can go from thinking that things are impossible to realising that, with the right approach, most things are actually highly attainable. A change in mindset will enable you to grow and get positive results in your work and personal life. What Jeannette shares in this episode, is the approach she has used to change her own mindset and achieve amazing results. KEY TAKEAWAYS Have a growth mindset instead of a scarcity mindset. Believing that there are no limits for you is an effective way to maximise your potential. When you come up with an idea or goal, don´t immediately try to work out the nitty-gritty of how you will make it happen. If you do that you will quickly feel overwhelmed and give up. Use visualisation to boost your confidence to the point where you understand that you can achieve big positive changes. Armed with that confidence, the steps you need to take will begin to become clear to you. The only limits that exist are the ones we put on ourselves. BEST MOMENTS ‘You can go from impossible to possible, and ultimately generate results, by creating a growth mindset. ´ ‘The art of possibility becomes so compelling that you almost can´t do anything but take action.’ ‘You go from impossible, to possible, to probable and then you just keep pushing through.’ 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 Dan Hulbert, a property entrepreneur, and investor who has been involved in the industry for more than 20 years. During which time, he and his partners have built and run many different kinds of property portfolios. Dan and Jeannette talk about how property networking led to him building his own portfolio. Something he started out by doing, using other people´s money. Dan explains how working on your personal development, knowing yourself, understanding your skillset, and sticking to your values enables you to build a solid business. He also shares several tips that property investors can use to create and seal profitable deals, KEY TAKEAWAYS It is possible to start investing in property, by using other people’s money To be successful in property you need good communication skills because there are a lot of individuals involved in getting a property ready for rent or sale. Work on yourself, regardless of what is going on around you. Don´t be afraid to employ people to do the work for you. Your profits will be lower, but it is better than trying to do it all yourself and failing. The bigger your business gets, the more important it is to have good planning skills. Only work with people that share your values. Don´t be afraid to say no, even to big projects that are not a good fit for you. Always pause and calmly assess each opportunity. But be careful not to overthink. Words are powerful. They make or break deals. Dan shares several examples of how slightly changing what you say makes a positive difference. Understand what the other person wants from the deal you are offering. If you can´t provide it, don´t be afraid to move on to someone else. When hiring builders use recommendations. But still do your due diligence. BEST MOMENTS ‘Networking has always been part of my life. So, I started connecting people, as a business. ´ ‘Working on myself and personal development, for me, is a never-ending pursuit.’ ‘Just make sure that you know what they want and that fits with what you’re offering.’ 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.

He has built a portfolio by himself and with other business partners which now stands at over 1,800 properties across the UK that they either managed, controlled, or owned. Dan started ‘on the tools’ in construction, to then become a hands-on landlord building his own portfolio. He now utilises his and his business partners' complementary skill sets and experience to invest and develop together nationwide. Dan believes that property is a simple, but not always easy to execute business model. So, it is important to know all the fundamental building blocks that make up property investing. Once armed with that level of understanding you can create a property business or portfolio that is built on a solid foundation.

In this episode, Jeannette explains the difference between strategy, vision, mission, purpose, and values. Helping you work out where to start when it comes to strategic planning and what to focus on to have the most impact. She does this by sharing a very simple way of thinking about how everything hangs together. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is all too easy to get bogged down by strategy planning and implementation. The what is what you are trying to achieve. Your mission and goals. Identifying who is responsible for achieving each goal and how they will do it, is essential. The how, is a roadmap. How you are going to get from point A to point B. A strategy does not have to be complicated. You need an overarching strategy. In addition, you may need to create individual strategies for each area of your business e.g., sales, distribution, etc. BEST MOMENTS ‘We´re talking about the what, why, who, and how of a strategic framework. ´ ‘A good strategy allows people to make decisions and allocate resources to achieve key objectives.’ 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 Roger Flynn who is an investor and Non-Executive Director for a combination of media, technology, and travel businesses. Before this, he enjoyed a long career as an executive for several leading international firms like British Airways, the BBC, and Prudential. Including working for Richard Bransom, from whom he learned a huge amount. They talk extensively about how to make the transition between CEO, chair, and non-exec. Including looking at the differences between the roles. They also discuss the three main things Roger looks for when deciding which businesses to invest in. He also explains how business owners can make their company look more attractive to potential investors. KEY TAKEAWAYS Don´t waste time and energy trying to be something you are not. Know yourself and stick to your values. Do what you are really interested in, when you do you will stay engaged and do well. You cannot afford to surround yourself only with people who think like you. If you do, it is impossible to make balanced decisions. Potential investment businesses must be operating in markets that have positive characteristics. Before investing, look at the management team and ask yourself whether they have the necessary skills to step up when the business takes off. Starting with the end goal in mind will help you to make good decisions. When seeking investment, make sure that the way you and your investors work is aligned. Don´t be afraid of failure or of managing radical change. If you trust people to do amazing things, they will never let you down. BEST MOMENTS ‘Be yourself. If you try to be something different you are just going to trip over yourself. ´ ‘If you surround yourself with people like you… you´re not going to make the best decisions.’ ‘Aim for the moon because you might just get there.’ 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 Justine Nunn, whose partner Alex Flynn recently passed away, from altitude sickness, just after he had summited Mira Peak, in Nepal. Alex had Parkinson´s, but he did not let that stop him from living his life to the full and helping others. He worked tirelessly to raise awareness and provide practical support to those living with Parkinson´s. Justine was with him every step of the way. She is now working to carry Alex´s legacy forward. Jeannette and Justine talk about how Alex found the strength to run through Jungles, across America, London, Rome, and ultra-marathons, despite his disease. They talk about the symptoms of this extremely common disease and what to look out for. Justine also explains how she, Alex, and their boys adapted to the impact Parkinson´s had on their family lives. Justine also talks about how society treats people with the disease and how things need to change. KEY TAKEAWAYS One in 15 people will be diagnosed with Parkinson´s and the numbers are growing. Parkinson´s affects people of all ages. It is not an old person´s disease. It cannot be cured. But it can be managed through diet and exercise. Parkinson´s is a personal journey. It is different for everyone. People with Parkinson´s can be fully productive members of staff. Often, with only minor adaptations. For Alex, a qualified lawyer, getting a job was impossible. This is often the case for people with Parkinson´s. Often, it is little tweaks in the way things are done that make a big difference to how easy it is for people with Parkinson´s to live their lives. BEST MOMENTS ‘There was no challenge that wasn´t big enough for him (Alex) to go for. ´ ‘Parkinson´s is not an old person´s disease.’ ‘People need to understand… inclusion needs to be there.’ ‘Businesses need to see the person as opposed to the disease.’ 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.

Having known Alex since the age of 11 years old the two of them have remained in contact and over the past 5 years become a couple. Justine is a freelance artist and marketing manager for a local Oxfordshire charity Parkinsons.Me. Since Alex's death in November 2021, she has used her strength to take his story forward with a new direction, focusing on the families living with Parkinson's.

In this episode, Jeannette talks through the different reasons a business may need finance. Then explains when to raise those funds, how to do it, and how to ensure that it is spent as intended. KEY TAKEAWAYS A lot of businesses are not clear enough about why they want to raise finance. Good liquidity is important. Jeannette shares six examples of how it enables companies to grow. You need to understand how you are going to deploy the funds before borrowing. This impacts what type of finance you raise. If you are giving away equity to raise funds, be particularly careful. Don´t give too much equity away, too soon. Look at the ROI, before borrowing. When seeking out investors, look for ones that can enhance your business in other ways. BEST MOMENTS ‘Start with the end in mind. ´ ‘If you are going to be giving away some equity in your business to raise funds…know what you are going to be using the money for.’ ‘What are the other qualities you are looking for from an investor?’ 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 Amy Rowlinson who is a leader in purpose and fulfilment, whose Focus on WHY podcast is listened to in 102 countries. She is the owner of multiple businesses and a sought-after public speaker as well as being a life purpose and business coach. Amy and Jeannette discuss, identifying your why, building confidence, and becoming a better communicator. They also share several life purpose, podcasting, and public speaking tips during this episode. KEY TAKEAWAYS Often, identifying what works for you is an evolutionary process rather than a light bulb moment. Understanding what you really want out of life - your why, is vital. There are several ways to identify your why, which Amy and Jeannette discuss in the podcast. Personal development is essential, prioritise it. Do it in tandem with other forms of learning. Journaling is extremely powerful. Understand your audience and think about what they need. Slow down and incorporate pauses, this settles your nerves while increasing impact. Prepare your voice before speaking publicly. Amy explains how to do that. Be open to opportunity. Improvement does not mean constantly learning new things. Getting better at what you do is just as important. BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s not the goals… it’s the deeper legacy that you want to leave behind.’ ‘I want people to listen, to take action, and then make a difference in their own world.’ ‘Focus on plan A, don´t have a plan B. If you have a plan B you are not going to be committed to Plan A.’ 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 how relatively little changes can make a huge difference in how effective you are. They really can maximise your results, enabling you to get stand-out results. Taking you from struggling to get by to securing financial freedom and achieving other important life goals. Jeannette shares the three-part system she has used to achieve this for herself. An approach she now uses to help the people she mentors to do the same. KEY TAKEAWAYS Financial freedom provides you with choice and flexibility. You need to genuinely believe in yourself and what you are doing. Your brain is a muscle that had to be trained. Prioritise personal development. Where you focus generates energy. Celebrate the wins, stop, and enjoy them. It fuels and energises you. Stop floundering, become clear about your purpose. Set firm measurable goals and define the actions you need to take to achieve them. Prepare yourself for change. This will stop you from self-sabotaging. Understand and be aware of where you are within the 5-stage change cycle everyone goes through. BEST MOMENTS ‘Belief plus purpose plus action equals results. ´ ‘Put personal development at the top of your agenda.’ ‘Create a physical reminder of what you´re aiming for.’ 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 talks to Julia Lo Bue-Said who is the CEO of the Advantage Travel Centres group. She became a leading voice and effective advocate for the travel industry, during the CoVid pandemic. Julia has also won multiple travel business awards. Including, The Travel Legend Award, in October 2021. They discuss Julia´s 25-year career. Including, how to overcome some of the challenges women in the workplace still face and handling the transition from an operational role to being CEO. As well as how to deal with the media, learning to speak out and doing so in a way that leads to positive change. Julia also explains how she copes with being in the public eye. Including how she has learned not to let the added scrutiny affect her judgment. KEY TAKEAWAYS Moving from an operational role to one that requires you to take a helicopter view is tricky. In the podcast, Julia shares how she managed that transition. Focus on having the right people in place for the business. You want people who want your job and can fill any gaps. We all need to call out sexism and racism to make sure that it is not normalised. Be yourself and recognise that nobody can be perfect. Be clear about where your focus needs to be. In the podcast, Julia shares some tips to help you to do this. Never be afraid to admit you don´t know how to do something and ask for advice. Don’t be afraid of being honest. Regular, honest, and open communication has been crucial for navigating the pandemic. Do your research before speaking to the press. You must know your subject. Check the news stream before an interview to pick up on shifts and anticipate what you may be asked during an interview. Not being afraid to fail creates opportunities that would not otherwise be available to you. Go for it, because if you don´t someone else will come along and take your spot. BEST MOMENTS ‘I have no issue at all around saying to people, I have no idea what to do here and taking advice.’ ‘Think about those things that you can actually make an impact with and what you can control.’ ‘Don´t be afraid to fail.’ ‘Out of all of those challenges, there is always opportunity.’ 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.
