| 01 Nov 2021 | Failure isn't a person, it's a moment! with CocoVinny Zaldivar - Episode 29 of Better Business, Better Life! | 00:29:25 | |
You will know CocoVinny from Shark Tank and The Profit - his passion for his company Coco Taps is contagious! CocoVinny Zaldivar has been an entrepreneur since 16 years old. Through his experiences, he narrowed down his three non-negotiables. Whatever he did next needed to be good for people, good for the planet, and it had to be fun. With Coco Taps he found his life-long passion, building something of value that continues to create value. In this episode, he shares his ups and downs through the pandemic and how he's never had an exit strategy. Despite the uncertainty and losing several million dollars revenue in the lockdown, CocoVinny used this time to focus on what was really important for the future of his business and stepped on the gas. He went full steam ahead on the development of a new machine, reached out to potential investors and got creative with marketing strategies. He shares that EOS helped Coco Taps respond to COVID with agility. "It's probably one of the best things that happened to us during COVID. We did everything remote, but it was still helpful to go through these processes and still learn how to pivot and learn how to adapt." Fortunately, he was able to keep all his staff. The lockdown helped his team focus and re-focus. With all their future planning, they were able to bring ideas forward and use this difficult time as an opportunity to innovate. He also shares that the way Coco Taps is run is so tied to their core values that they don't have to fire people, they just self-select out if they're not in alignment. Listen to the full episode to find out how CocoVinny approaches business, life and the beautiful future of Coco Taps! CocoVinny's Top 3 Tips 1. Failure isn't a person. It's a moment that you can change. Don't take anything too seriously. I say every setback is a setup for a comeback. Even failure is not a person, it's just a moment. And you can change that moment, just keep going. Don't stop, don't give up. You just have to keep things in perspective. Life is short, none of us are getting out of here alive. So that's it, you just gotta laugh, have fun and do whatever you can to keep going on. That's what I try to do. 2. Audiobooks I have a hard time reading. True story, if I read a physical book for more than 15-20 minutes I kind of zone out, I almost fall asleep. So I try to listen to audio books. One of my staples is Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich. I got through the whole Shoe Dog book recently, which is the Phil Knight Nike story. 3. Weekly Level 10 meetings My favourite EOS tool that we do weekly is our Level 10s. We sometimes miss it but it is really good to keep everything on track or to realise that you're off track.

| 05 Dec 2022 | The Mindset Of A High Achiever With Professional Fighter Lawrence Dunning | 00:40:30 | |
Podcast Guest Lawrence Dunning: "Born and raised in London, England, Lawrence holds both an undergraduate Degree and an MBA from the University of Exeter. Lawrence has spent the last 19 years calling Chicago home, after extensive work experience as a fixed-income derivatives trader, first in London and Amsterdam, then on Wall Street, before finally settling at The Chicago Board of Trade, and starting his own Trading Company. As Lawrence always welcomes opportunities to re-invent himself, he placed his entire focus and commitment to real estate, after he began investing in multi-units properties in 2009, and later becoming a full time broker in 2014. He owns a vast and diversified portfolio of commercial and residential investment properties, of which he adds to at every opportunity. His dignified professionalism, deep knowledge base and focus on relationship building has earned him the title of “Top 1%” Agent in Chicago, along with being highest producer at his company, for six consecutive years. He has appeared on numerous Podcasts, including co-founding “The Off-Market Show”, as well as “Keeping it Real”, “AE Wheelhouse” and WGN Radio Show talking about various aspects of real estate investment strategies. Lawrence specializes in finding the best turn-key and cash flow positive buildings for his large network of buyers. “I simply love working with investors to create for them solid double-digit, property-backed investment returns from all types of multi-unit buildings,” he explains. “Once you understand the nuances of the business model, I truly know of no other vehicle to create such high investment yields. Furthermore, this is with a quarter of the volatility that we have seen with equities in the last forty years. Add in the appreciation, leverage and tax benefits and it remains the surest way to grow your underlying wealth.” Outside of real estate Lawrence remains an avid reader on his quest of constant self-improvement. Lawrence was a former professional athlete and Chicago Golden Gloves boxing champion, and now competes around the world as a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and has ran marathons on 6 of 7 continents (Antarctica marathon is scheduled for December 2022!) He started his “Enter the Lionheart” which is about his mutual interests of excellence, athletics and entrepreneurship. Above all he enjoys quality time, undistracted and present with his wife, young son, and two dogs."

Meetings are boring right??? Well, they absolutely don't need to be. It’s possible to hold better leadership team meetings that actually save time and increase productivity. By leveraging certain key elements, you can put time back into your schedule, have a more productive week, and raise the quality of your company meetings from a 4 to a 10. In the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS®), we call this kind of meeting a Level 10 MeetingTM. The Level 10 Meeting is where all the magic happens. Most of the traction a company gains is produced in the Level 10 Meeting. It’s incredibly effective because it’s a time management tool. As you and your team come together for 90 minutes each week, you’ll save time by avoiding miscommunication, preventing train wrecks, solving people issues, and keeping key people accountable. You may even look forward to these regular weekly meetings! In this podcast episode, Debra shares how to hold better meetings & some of the pitfalls that people fall into.

| 20 Dec 2021 | EXPERT SPOTLIGHT - How do you create creativity? with Wade Jackson - Episode 36 of Better Business, Better Life! | 00:26:41 | |
Wade Jackson is a master storyteller, the founder of Covert Theatre and 'Sexy Monkey Pants' at Inspired Learning. He is also an author of several books, including Jolt Challenge, a manual and workbook to deep dive into oneself. In this episode, he discusses how improv is a form of genuine play that teaches you about yourself and connects you to others. It creates a truly safe environment where failure is just as okay, it's part of the learning process. He opened Covert Theatre's doors to make space for anyone to come self create, self discover and self express. As a high performance coach, he takes the principles of improv into the corporate world. He aligns them to business needs, using improv exercises as a reflective mirror to help leadership teams develop self awareness. He also works with companies in the human-centred design space, helping create a strong culture where creativity flourishes. Find out how to get started with improv and the tools he teaches for creating creativity & building a life filled with meaningful happiness. Wade's Top 3 Tips 1. Find your purpose and passion It comes down to, how do you want to contribute? And also, what excites you? What are you enthusiastic about? If you can figure out what it is you're enthusiastic about, then you're playing in that ballpark of your purpose and passion. But I think in Western society, we've overblown the word purpose and made it too big. There's different ways you can contribute, you can contribute through through your work. Or you can contribute in the community in different ways. So what is it that feeds the soul? Jolt Challenge manual was a process of helping you discover it. 2. Have a plan There's a Chinese proverb, 'There are many moons of the mountain, but only one moon to be seen from at Summit.' So you may have a plan, but don't be rigid. You might be shifting paths. You might get to the same goal, but how do you get there will be different. Have a plan that you hold loosely. 3. Persevere Just keep going. There's a lot of noise out there like social media. I mean, I see some of the statistics around what it does to mental health and well being. Just ignore the noise and don't play that game. Play your own game.

| 28 Mar 2022 | EXPERT SPOTLIGHT: Social Proof Mastery or 'Building your position of authority' with Erik Jensen - Episode 48 of Better Business, Better Life! | 00:39:06 | |
Erik Jensen is the Co-Owner of Predictive ROI—a 7-figure marketing agency helping businesses monetize their position of authority. A business owner since age 14, Erik began his entrepreneurial journey via a national juggling business that took him and his brother around the country. Now the Chief Strategy Officer at Predictive ROI, Erik developed the podcasting strategy that made the agency over $2M, which was featured in the book Profitable Podcasting. In this podcast, we talk about why it's important to own your own platform (from lessons learned in the past), how juggling can pay ou rway around the US for years & how to build your own platform so that you are not reliant on others. Erik's top 3 tips: 1. Figure out how to leverage your time. We all have the same amount of time in our days. The more you can do with that time, the better. Stop doing the things that you suck at. Instead, find or hire the people who are really good at the things you're bad at. Don't hire people that are like you, right? If they're just like you, then they're going to have similar skill sets. 2. Run towards the pain If there is a particular challenge that you have in serving your clients, or there's a particular challenge that your clients can't overcome, run towards that pain. Because if it's a pain for you, it's a pain for your competitors. You're going to put yourself at a competitive advantage if you can solve the problem for yourself internally. And if you're running towards the pain that your clients have, and solving that for them, then you're their white knight. You can come in and say, 'I can take care of this, it doesn't have to be a problem anymore. We have the solution.' Both of those are pretty good things to have. Competitive advantages and being able to be the right fit for your clients to solve their problems. 3. Build and utilise social proof There are two stages in the basis of building social proof mastery. The first one is you need to define where you're getting communications that provide the sort of proof that you want. Remember, social proof is just any sort of proof that comes from a third party. This could be awards, accreditation, businesses that you currently serve, case studies, testimonials etc. Understand the places where you're actually getting these from, and make sure it all goes into a database. Then the second part of it is to try to empower, if possible, one person on each of your channels. Give them ownership of that and say, 'Look, we have given you this great set of content. What we want you to do is utilise this content, at least x number of times in this period of time, on each of these platforms. Honestly, do those two things, build the database, and then empower someone with clear instructions on how to utilise it. Take advantage of your social proof.

| 27 Jun 2022 | EXPERT SPOTLIGHT: Is it your ego or self-worth that's getting in the way of a good deal? with Corey Kupfer - Episode 54 of Better Business, Better Life! | 00:33:48 | |
Corey Kupfer is an expert strategist, dealmaker, consultant, attorney and Principal of Kupfer and Associates. He's also an author and speaker, specialising in negotiation. Raised in a lower middle-class family in Brooklyn, New York, Corey always had an entrepreneurial spirit & started his first business at 15. In the years that followed, he's been through hard times - his business had no clients, there was a recession so he had no way to pay his rent or credit cards - anything you weren't 'supposed' to do. And yet here he is, 30 years later, having built a very successful law firm, consulting practice & speaking business. "I don't think most of my successes come because I'm particularly ahead of the curve, or knowing the future. Most of my success has come from just building great relationships, doing great work and caring about people." In this episode, Corey discusses his work philosophy and shares top tips & tools from his book, Authentic Negotiation, that draws on 30 years of experience. These aren't just for strategic partnerships or distribution agreements, these principles can be applied to negotiating your first home purchase, or negotiating with your teenager. He also outlines the top 6 reasons negotiations fail and shares his fundamental framework that can make all the difference. "If you come into negotiation in a place of scarcity, in a place of not feeling that you're worth it, in a place of fear, I don't care what tactics you put on top of that, you're not going to be successful. I always say, no matter what tactics you use, if you study what I teach, I think you're going to be better than 80 to 90% of negotiators out there. I can sense when somebody comes in and is desperate for a deal. I can also read every tactic they're doing, because I've seen it all for 30 years." Listen to the full episode to learn the framework & master negotiation in your life! Corey's Top 3 Tips 1. Love doing the stuff that you are great at! If you're great at some stuff but still hate doing it, get someone else to do it. If you are the owner of the business, partner or executive, it also has to have leverage, it has to move the needle and it has to make a difference. If you are great at delegating, closing deals and negotiating - you've got to love it! If not, you need to find somebody to come in. 2. Personal growth, internal work & self awareness is so crucial for business owners & executives. Businesses can only be as successful as our own personal growth allows, especially as an entrepreneur. If we hit a limit, whether it's a relationship to money, what we think we deserve, how much we can trust other people to build a team & delegate, or you're in a place where you're going to sabotage things & you're not willing to grow to be able to be that kind of leader, it's not going to work. 3. Every business should be a lifestyle business. The business should be designed for the life we want. Because if we're not creating the life we want, why we invest?

| 25 Oct 2021 | Be BRAVE with Duncan Shand - Episode 28 of Better Business, Better Life! | 00:28:05 | |
Duncan Shand is the founder of Young Shand, one of New Zealand's top creative agencies. Before Young Shand, Duncan was a freelance marketing consultant specialising in the online marketing space. As demand began to shift from traditional marketing to digital, he received more work than he could manage on his own - and Young Shand was born. Duncan’s success lies in recognising when and how to adapt to the changing world. He fearlessly pivots to continue doing work that excites him and his team. In this episode, he shares the highs and lows of his business journey and the lessons he learnt along the way. His journey with Young Shand is especially important for business leaders to hear because in reality, businesses often don’t get it right the first time. Duncan and his team’s vision to pivot from creative digital marketing into becoming an integrated advertising agency wasn’t successful on their first attempt. Instead of becoming immobilised by failure, he analysed what went wrong, learnt from his mistakes and tried again. Now Young Shand is exactly what they envisioned, a full-service integrated agency led by a fantastic team, doing work that is exciting and meaningful. Duncan embodies being brave in every aspect of his life, from running his first marathon at 50 to re-attempting the pivot towards his vision. Listen to the full episode to learn from Duncan’s experiences and find out how being brave can bring you a huge step closer to achieving your goals. Duncan's Top 3 Tips 1. Be brave and think big As business owners, we have to be brave. We have to set some big goals and not be afraid to set big goals. I think New Zealand business owners often can get caught up in the day-to-day running of their businesses. It's finding that time to step back, think bigger, and set some brave, lofty goals. And then articulate those, share them with the team, get everyone to buy into them. So they become real. They're not real if they're just living inside your head. They have to be shared. 2. Accept that we all make mistakes No one gets it perfect. The road to success isn't a straight line, there are ups and downs along the way. We got up to 40-50 people at one point. We're at 35 now, but we've got 35 stronger, more senior people in the business than we did before. I think as long as you can accept that you're not perfect, and as the owner and the leader, listen to feedback from others and learn from failures. Put plans in place, adjust and calibrate. 3. Hire great people and hire diversely Make sure you surround yourself with great people. The only little twist I put on that is when you are interviewing, make sure you have a lens so you don't get caught up in the hiring-people-just-like-me trap. I think we all have a tendency to hire people like us. In the early days, we had a lot of white - not middle aged, but white lads around the office because I could see myself in them. But we hired a woman Courtney, who looked after our HR stuff for a while and she really just held it up to my face and said, 'Hey, not a lot of diversity going on here.' So making sure when you are making a shortlist that you're including others, whether it's sex or ethnicity. We always make a concerted effort now, we have to have diversity on our shortlist. Sometimes we've been proactively hiring to recalibrate the diversity in the office. I think that's really important, hiring great people and hiring a mix of people.

| 01 Feb 2021 | Better Business, Better Profit with Grant Difford - Episode 4 of Better Business, Better Life! | 00:32:19 | |
Grant runs the vert successful Waking Giants Business. The business describes how it helps as "We work alongside you to develop purposeful strategy that enables you to make it happen." Grant describes what motivates him... "After a life of being a shy kid into my mid-30s I finally realised that I have something important to contribute to the world. It also comes with an unrelenting truth that can be hard to deliver and hear but I believe that that’s what we need to grow. Waking Giants is more than just a business for me it’s a vision to ensure that no one feels that they can’t achieve beyond their current thinking… no hype bullshit, but deep desire to be more in tune with what’s possible. We work with people who want to unlock that space, primarily focused on leaders. I love my team, it has taken 10 years to understand what kind of people I want around me and that’s the sauce of my passion and inspiration. I would rather three great people than a team of 20 for ego. I am proud of my ability to do things my way and challenge everything I see in front of me… I do that in sport last year running New Zealand’s toughest Ultra Marathon in the Southern Alps, I do things that push me physically so I can push mentally… this then translates into my vision. If I am going to teach this stuff, I have to live it." Grant talked to Debra Chantry-Taylor about how 2020 was a tough year but after a 'Clarity Break' realised that there was a different way forward. This epiphany caused them to review their business entirely, looking for ways to do things smarter. There were some tough decisions to be made but it resulted in 2020 being a very profitable year for Waking Giants & more importantly it strengthed the team. Learn how Grant now views business & why he believes that having a better business & not a bigger business leads to better profit.

| 06 Dec 2021 | EXPERT SPOTLIGHT - Be best FOR the world, not best in the world with Tim Jones - Episode 34 of Better Business, Better Life! | 00:31:29 | |
Tim Jones is the Grow Good Guy, who works with businesses to find their purpose and attain their B Corp certification. A certified B Corporation meets the highest standards of social and environmental impact - this transparent and meaningful contribution to the world is one of Tim's core passions. In this episode he shares the subconscious awakening that led him to pivot away from the medical device industry, to join the movement of companies that were aiming to be the best for the world, not the best in the world. "It seemed all anyone cared about was making money. They didn't care about whether people or the planet got destroyed on the journey. That was the thing that really wasn't sitting with me and that was where my daughter really played a part. Hang on a minute, what world am I creating that she's going to inherit?" He also discusses economic benefits of the B Corp movement and the difference it makes from a business point of view. Learn more about getting aligned with your purpose, reflecting your authentic self in work and the future of the movement that uses business as a force for good. Tim's Top 3 Tips 1. Get the alignment of you and your business If you don't actually know who you are, and you don't actually know what you stand for, you're always going to be suffering from what I call the authenticity gap. You're going to be doing things at work and wanting to build a business that's not actually reflective of who you really, really are. That's the hard, hard sort of mahi that needs to be done that so few people actually want to do. But I and my business are one. Everything that I think and feel I get to express in my business, and that is liberating and exciting in equal measures. 2. Do more outbound sales activity If you're in a business and you think you're doing as much as you can, you're not. You can always do more. Just as an example, I sent 500 emails out a month ago about a campaign I was initiating. From that I got probably 30 to 40 replies 'yes, I want in'. About a year ago I did another campaign, I sent 1000 messages via LinkedIn. Got 100 replies and got 30 clients. Just do more of it. They might be sitting there going, 'Oh, my word, if only there was someone out there who could solve it and help us.' That could be you. 3. Aim to be the best for the world, not the best in the world When we're talking about purpose versus money, can you name the company that was listed number three on the NZX in March 2013? No course you can't, because no one cares. But you can remember a brand or a company that went out of its way to do something good, that was meaningful and made a contribution. Really think about how your organisation can make a dent in the universe. You're going to be remembered for the thing that you did and how you made people feel.

| 13 Jun 2022 | EXPERT SPOTLIGHT: Is your business ready for the EOS spotlight? with Alicia Butler Pierre - Episode 52 of Better Business, Better Life! | 00:34:59 | |
Alicia Butler Pierre is the owner & CEO of Equilibria Inc, an operations management firm that specialises in diagnosing, and designing business infrastructure & processes. With a background in chemical engineering, Alicia started off her career in steel-toed boots at oil refineries & chemical plants. When working as an engineer, she realised how little she understood about business - and just how necessary this understanding was. So she went back to school, completed an MBA & it opened her eyes to a completely new world. In the months of job-searching following her MBA, she was regularly reading articles, books & absorbing information through documentaries (one of her top tips!). What really resonated with her was the concept of individuals all possessing natural skills, talents & abilities. And that through a process of miseducation, we're taught to actually work for someone else, to become a good employee. But we aren't taught on how to capitalise on our natural skills, talents & abilities so that we can CREATE opportunities for ourselves. She thought deeply about what she was naturally good at - organising, and after research & many networking events, she worked as a Professional Organiser, with home-based entrepreneurs being her primary clientele. And it wasn't that they were chronically disorganised people - they just needed systems or processes in place to keep things working & information flowing as seamlessly as possible. So Alicia started to shift her language and promotional pieces from professional organising to business infrastructure. "It's my customers who tell me exactly what they want. It's my job as the business owner to listen, and to act accordingly. And that is the story in a nutshell of how Equilibria came to be, how this thing called business infrastructure came into existence." Now Equilibria has been running for about 17 years & she never imagined it would evolve into what it is today. Hear about her journey & the key insights she has learnt along the way. Find out more about Alicia - aliciabutlerpierre.com Special offer of a free audio MasterClass for our audience - smoothoperator.course Alicia’s Top 3 Tips The Three R's: 1. Read Read something every day to continue to perfect your craft. Don't ever become comfortable in what you already know. There's always something new to learn. 2. (w)Riting Write something every day. Use your LinkedIn newsletter and all of the amazing materials. That's how you continue to perfect your craft and get your message out about whatever it is that you do. 3. (a)Rithmetic Measure & do the calculations. What are some of those key numbers that you need to look at, maybe not every day, but at least once a week to really let you know the health of your company?

| 14 Jun 2021 | EXPERT SPOTLIGHT - Free up cash flow for growth with Sarah Lochead-MacMillan - Episode 13 of Better Business, Better Life! | 00:19:22 | |
Cash flow can be a real issue for businesses... Especially with the current environment where we have some industries pushing out payments to up to 80 days. So what's stopping you from freeing up some cash to continue your growth initiatives? Invoice financing is huge overseas in Europe & the US but many people don't actually know what it is in NZ, because it's not widely used. Invoice financing is the process of releasing money from unpaid invoices, so that you can use that money to pay for things the business needs & Sarah Lochead-MacMillan, as the GM of Geneva is an expert in this area. For many of the businesses, they have to wait maybe 60 plus days to get paid. There are some wholesalers who work with supermarkets that can be waiting up to about 75 days to get paid. If you're paying your staff weekly, that is a mistiming of cash. And you always have rent and power and bills like that to pay monthly. If you don't get paid for two months, how do you find the cash flow? Join me as I speak with Sarah about the pros & cons of Invoice financing & how you can use it to accelerate growth in your business. Sarah also shares her top 3 tips for businesses, which are simple but effective.

We’re going to focus on 6 key areas to help you take your already good business to great so that you can truly get what you want out of business & life. These topics are:
Subscribe to the podcast & learn from those who have built a better life, through building a better business. Welcome... Welcome to Better Business, Better Life where everything we talk about is to help you take your good business to great, so that you can get what you want out of your business & your life.

I’m your host Debra Chantry-Taylor & I am a trained Entrepreneurial Leadership & Business Coach, a professional EOS Implementer & an established Business Owner myself. I am passionate about helping Business Owners to have a Better Life through creating a Better Business. Before coaching, for close to 20 years I held GM & Leadership roles in medium sized organisations, with up to 220 staff. My specialty was in taking them from Flatline to growth & this is something that I became very good at & also very passionate about. From there I went into starting my own businesses. I’ve now owned & led a few of my own businesses & I have been extremely fortunate to live the high life as well as experiencing a horrendous train wreck. If I’m honest, I learned more from the train wreck that from all the success. Since starting my coaching in 2010, originally with The Icehouse & now in my own coaching practice, I have worked with over 500 business owners & their leadership teams. Every time I work with a leader & their team I feel privileged to be part of their journey. I have hand-picked my guests for this podcast series from those business leaders that I have worked with or subject matter experts & colleagues from my journey. In each episode we cover one of the six topics that will help you take your business from good to great & we invite special guests in who have been there, done that & got the T-shirt so that they can share with you how they did it.

My hope is that you take something from each of these short episodes that you can put into action to help you get what you want, not only out of your business but also your life! | |||

| 15 Nov 2021 | Do you have time to do what you love? with Danny Mishek - Episode 31 of Better Business, Better Life! | 00:31:32 | |
Danny Mishek is President and Visionary of VistaTek, a family owned full-service manufacturing company in the US. One of his proudest achievements is recently publishing a children's Christmas book that gets everyone talking about their fondest, warmest memories. In business, he puts innovation at the heart of VistaTek. They strive to be world-class innovators, not just competing in the Midwest, or the US. He shares how EOS has helped him delegate and elevate, freeing him up to do what he's best at & loves doing - connecting with people and discovering growth opportunities. In life, he consistently pushes himself outside his comfort zone, like riding a real bull or writing and self-publishing a book. He discusses the importance of sharing your personality and true character, which in turn opens you up to interesting conversations and deeper relationships. Find out why he wrote a Christmas book seemingly out of the blue, his experience in a family business that went through a merger & EOS implementation and what it actually felt like to ride a bull! Danny's Top 3 Tips 1. Try to look through other people's lenses I think that helped me a lot in writing the book. I used an illustrator who did an amazing job. Her name is Megan Shumway. She put a person in a wheelchair, people with different skin colour tones so no matter who looks at this book, it's through their lens and they can see what they want to see. So when you make decisions for your person, for your employees, for your vendors, what are they looking at, through their eyes? Some people get excited about the holidays, because they get to travel. Other people, it's heartbreaking because the bills go up, so what's it like through their lens? 2. Get out of your comfort zone then share it! I've had more success being uncomfortable, and getting out of my comfort zone widens it too. So when somebody thinks they're going to bring in an uncomfortable situation, to you that's not very uncomfortable. You can deal with it easier. And when you get out of your comfort zone, share that with people. Share your personality and your character, because it's been so fun to talk to people about my book, but it's grown into other relationships. People want to know, how is it to have a beehive and to write a book, to be self-published; they want to talk about manufacturing and manufacturers. There’s not that many of us in the US, people say, ‘Oh, you make something? How? How does that work? What kind of schooling do you need? Do you have internships?' 3. Be yourself Being different, being out there and sharing that you're different. We’re trying to be the same. Don't be the same. Be who you are, but then share it loud and proud. Have your core values, you should have the business ones and your personal ones. But just be true to yourself. If you know what your intentions are and they’re pure, we're all going to make mistakes, but if you have good intentions, people are going to understand when you have to apologise. They'll say, ‘Yeah, I get it. You screwed up, but you owned it.’ I'd say as long as you're transparent and with good intentions, you're going to go far in life.

| 22 Sep 2021 | What & Who to expect in Season 3 of Better Business, Better Life! | 00:06:48 | |
Apologies for the short break in the podcast episodes. With the sudden lockdown in New Zealand & extended lockdown in Auckland, I found myself caught up with lots of work to do with clients to help them get through it. On top of that I had been searching for an Integrator & Executive Assistant to join me in the business so that I could be freed up to do more of the important client work & create more valuable content. Unfortunately, all this additional work meant that the podcast had to take a back seat. Fortunately, I have now found someone! I am pleased to announce that Jen joined the team last week & will take over from my virtual assistant fully over the next month. I can’t wait – having the right people in the right seats makes such a huge difference! Not that my virtual assistant, Beatrix wasn’t amazing – she is, however, I needed someone who is able to come into the office for some of the Integrator & EA role. With Jen now on board, we’ve been taking some time over the last week to get some more inspiring businesspeople lined for the next Season. As you know, our guests are either businesspeople who have built a successful business & are now enjoying a better life because of it or they are recognised business experts in their field & have a desire to help Entrepreneurs. Each of these guests is prepared to share the highs & low of business & the secrets to creating a better life through building a better business. They all started small & now have a successfully established business, employing tens to hundreds of staff & are still involved in the business in some way. Some of the confirmed guests for this series include: · Sam Stubbs from Simplicity – a new Kiwisaver fund that disrupted the traditional Kiwisaver model & turned the Kiwsaver industry on tis head · Duncan Shand from Young & Shand – a small digital agency that grew to be one of the most respected strategic digital agencies in the APAC region · Thomas Dietz from WOOP, who pivoted an original business idea & took WOOP from a start up to one of the most popular food box deliveries in NZ · Wade Jackson from the Covert Theatre – the home of Improv Theatre · Stanley Henry from the attention seeker – a rapidly growing Personal Branding & LinkedIn Agency that helps people build their digital influence & tell stories to create revenue Plus more of my own EOS clients, who will share their journey with you towards the EOS life which is: · Doing what you love · With people you love · Making a significant difference · Being compensated appropriately · Whilst having time to pursue other passions. | |||

| 13 Dec 2021 | Ignore everything but the bottleneck with Ken Brickley - Episode 35 of Better Business, Better Life! | 00:36:07 | |
Ken Brickley is CEO of MacroActive, who has a vast range of experience from working in Silicon Valley and large businesses like GE, to founding his own startup. In this episode, he shares the life lessons he's learnt on the journey from Silicon Valley employee to co-founder and CEO. He discusses how to capture world class talent long before you're technically hiring for the role and growing at a pace that puts clients first. Find out the biggest challenges he's faced as a CEO, how he streamlines his focus & energy to free up mental headspace and how to feel the happiness of swimming downstream every day! Ken's Top 3 Tips 1. Read The Goal by Eliyahu M. Goldratt The theory of constraints is, imagine a box, like a manufacturing line, and you think of where the bottleneck is in your manufacturing line. You solve for that bottleneck. Treat your business, your startup the same way and ignore everything except the bottleneck, within reason. Then when that bottleneck is solved, it immediately shifts to somewhere else on the manufacturing line, and you immediately have a new bottleneck. And so then focus on that new bottleneck, but try as hard as you can, to really just focus on those bottlenecks. 2. Define your why in a single word Really understand and know and define your why. My challenge is to try to write down a word, a single word that resonates so much with you that that word could answer the reason why you were put on this earth. It's going to be a different word for every person, right? But then really ask yourself, am I going to work and living by this word? If you're not, you're swimming upstream and if you are, it legitimately feels like you are swimming downstream, it is the coolest feeling in the world. I have done both and I can tell you hand on heart, swimming downstream is lot easier and more fun. It's profoundly impacted my overall happiness in life and I recommend it for everybody. 3. Have core values entirely aligned with your co-founder The core team that you start with, your co founder or your first hires, make sure that your values are entirely aligned and they're really clearly spelled out. If your values are not aligned, when the downs come - and they will come, things are gonna wobble. Being super aligned on those core values makes the tough days so much easier. You know you've got each other's back. The alignment of values is one of the core ingredients in building trust. And if you don't have absolute complete trust, with your founder, or your first hires, it just makes it really hard. Listening to this right now you might be thinking, oh man, I kind of know that person is not the right person, or whatever. I will tell you this, walk away from it. There's gonna be another idea. Idea is 1% execution is 99%. If you guys are not on the same page, the execution is gonna go wrong later on down the road, and it's going to be exponentially more difficult to unwind yourself, when you've had investors and all that kind of stuff. Make sure that you and your partner have a circle of trust that's unbreakable.

In 2013, to meet the demand for the exploding digital video market, we added "Big Idea Video" which offers businesses a variety of high-impact web video content including animated "explainer videos". Currently, that work is featured on Vimeo, LinkedIn, and 4 YouTube Channels. Additional career highlights include: • Being selected one of "New York's 12 Best" by The New York Ad Club. • Being honored at The White House for a national public service campaign that I spearheaded. • Receiving the first ever United Nations Public Service Award at The UN. • Being invited to speak at venues including The World Business Academy and Yale University. • Winning over 3 dozen major ad awards including Clio Awards. • Having my successful ad work featured in a Prentice-Hall marketing textbook. • Having my successful ad work taught as a case study in The Harvard Business Review. • Being invited to write for ADWEEK and Small Biz Trends. • Being published in a pop-culture anthology with internationally known writers including Stephen King. • Writing, directing and producing a film that won a Hollywood International Documentary Film award. • Being listed on Wikipedia: https://en.everybodywiki.com/John_Follis" HOST'S DETAILS: ___________________________________________ ►Debra Chantry-Taylor is a Professional EOS Implementer | Entrepreneurial Leadership & Business Coach | Business Owner ►See how she can help you: https://businessaction.co.nz/ ____________________________________________ GUESTS DETAILS: ____________________________________________ ►Website:https://www.follisinc.com/ __________________________________________ | |||
