Continuing our theme with the 11 Mistakes Preventing Business Growth, we dive deeper into a topic which is not a mistake, but a normal human emotion we all experience - fear. In this episode of Influence by Design, we look at some of the ways fear affects business owners and entrepreneurs, and how it can negatively impact their business growth. As an entrepreneur, you are no stranger to the myriad of emotions that go along with the journey. If you’ve been in business long enough, you’ll also know that your fears also evolve as you enter each new level in business. Fear in the entrepreneurial context is a multifaceted phenomenon. It can manifest as a fear of failure, fear of success, fear of financial uncertainties, and fear of being judged. These emotions are typically felt because you are walking on a path that no one has been on before. In your pursuit of business growth, keep in mind that fear is a shared human experience, and being able to master the self to overcome fear is perhaps the most rewarding aspect of this journey. For full show notes and links -  https://samanthariley.global/podcast/509Samantha Riley xxGet your free copy of The Human Design Advantage -  https://samanthariley.global/advantage/Join the Coaches, Thought Leaders & Changemakers FB Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/172041823301121I’d love to connect with you - please reach out and say hi: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesamriley/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samriley/

What if you’re doing all the right things to increase brand visibility and yet you’re still the worlds best kept secret, you're not expanding your network, and you’re not reaching your ideal prospects?  Although some people may argue that this is a case of under-representation, this could be due to visibility bias.In this episode of Influence by Design, I chat with The Brand Scientist, Chloé Nwangwu about Visibility Bias: Why Showing Up May Not Be Enough To Overcome Invisibility. She uses an interesting method of incorporating science and emotions to better position a brand’s visibility.It may seem normal for “visibility nerds” or those who know exactly what to do to increase brand visibility to get overlooked despite employing strategies that can get them noticed.

The phrase ‘woo-woo’ is often used to describe concepts such as spirituality, intuition, and energy work, and is considered taboo in many corporate cultures. However, incorporating woo in the corporate space might be the perfect union that creates a positive work environment. In this episode of Influence by Design, our guest Dr. Robyn McKay shares how consultants can take woo into the corporate workplace. She is an award-winning psychologist and the leading expert in Spiritual Intelligence.Despite being a smart, science girl existing within the walls of corporate, this didn’t stop Robyn to research more about her spiritual self, which ultimately led to an awakening and passion to share her knowledge with a corporate audience.  Many consultants don’t introduce spiritual concepts into the corporate world because of fear and judgement that people might not take them seriously.  But there are opportunities to introduce them to workplaces who are open to new concepts. Learn more about the impact of bringing woo in the workplace, and begin to understand the strategy of combining spiritual and scientific tools to transform leadership and corporate experiences.Samantha Riley xxFor full show notes and links -  https://samanthariley.global/podcast/487/Get your free copy of The Human Design Advantage -  https://samanthariley.global/advantage/Join the Coaches, Thought Leaders & Changemakers FB Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/172041823301121I’d love to connect with you - please reach out and say hi: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesamriley/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samriley/

We often hear people say, “It’s not about the money”.  But in reality, money is a key factor in life and business. Without money, it’s unlikely a business will survive, and you won’t have the freedom to live the life you dream of.In this episode of the Influence by Design podcast, Samantha and Tim debunk a common misconception of business owners - it’s not about the money. Having money corresponds to having freedom and access to better opportunities. Business owners can design the lifestyle they want, decide on their working hours, and choose the clients they want to work with when their  income supports them.Money opens up your world to better experiences that you can share with the people you love.  It’s only a matter of putting meaning behind what it can do for you and your business. Samantha Riley xxFor full show notes and links -  https://samanthariley.global/podcast/486/
