	25 Sep 2024	Permission to Change? Andrew Dewar on Transforming Your Life One Day at a Time	00:48:46
Doug is joined by Andrew Dewar, an accountant turned energy healer and life coach. Andrew talks to Doug about his transformative journey and introduces his "Five Year You" program which is designed to help people become their best selves over a five-year period. Andrew offers a fresh perspective on goal setting, personal growth, and living an authentic life in this episode, by sharing what he has learnt is effective, including giving yourself permission to change. KEY TAKEAWAYS The "Five Year You" program focuses on becoming your best self over five years, taking the pressure off short-term goals and focusing instead on long-term lifestyle changes. Andrew introduces the "Layers of Life" concept, which encourages living from the inside out, starting with your soul's purpose and working outward to relationships and material possessions. You have to learn to give yourself permission to live a good life and make changes that align with your true self, rather than trying to impress others or meet societal expectations. Andrew emphasises the value of making small, consistent changes (1% improvements) in daily habits to create significant long-term results in personal growth and wellbeing. Andrew introduces the "60 Second Rule" as a technique for managing recurring thoughts or concerns, allowing brief focused attention before moving on. Don't underestimate the importance of setting multiple goals beyond your primary objective, to help you maintain motivation and direction after achieving a significant milestone. Andrew shares his big audacious goal of helping a million people become their best selves, don't be afraid of thinking big and taking consistent action towards a vision. BEST MOMENTS "Life is way better when you give yourself permission to live a good life." "When you know who you are, it's been my experience that the right people show up and the right community takes place." "Focus more on the person that you want to become. Then use goals, as you're measuring stops along the way because if you are trying to lose weight for the beach trip you're going on next summer, if you're trying to save up money for a trip, if you're trying to do all these things, that's not changing your identity" "I got to 60 and I was looking out ahead of my life thinking, well, you know, if I get to 80, I've done 75 percent of my life. I've got 25 percent left" "People are rooting for you. And when you get around people that also want to live a great life, it changes" EPISODE RESOURCES Andrew Dewar Your mobile number, include your international code, just in case we need to connect at short notice.: +1 204-999-2153 Website: www.fiveyearyou.com How would you like to be introduced on the podcast?: Andrew Dewar from Five Year You If you are on LinkedIn, and would like us to promote you - please tell us your LinkedIn address?: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-dewar-cpa-cga-4a430b260/ If you are on Facebook, or have a Facebook Group, let us have the links so we can include them in the shownotes.: http://facebook.com/fiveyearyou Do you have a lead magnet that you would like us to share?

	01 Jan 2025	Setting Goals That Actually Work: The ADHD Entrepreneur's Guide with Maddy Alexander-Grout	00:41:14
Join Doug as he talks with Maddy Alexander-Grout, an entrepreneur who transformed her life from £80,000 in debt to running successful businesses. Maddy shares her journey from running a local discount card business to becoming a visibility strategist and ADHD champion. As she talks about goal setting, manifestation, and authentic social media presence she gives her valuable knowledge and experience, advising entrepreneurs, especially those with neurodivergent minds, on how to set achievable goals and celebrate every success along the way. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being specific with goals and writing them down is crucial, Maddy emphasises how having tangible, written goals helped her achieve everything from securing a book deal to finding her dream house. Authenticity in business is more valuable than portraying perfection and Maddy's success comes from being genuinely herself and sharing both victories and struggles openly. Conservative goal setting can be more effective than aiming too high, setting achievable targets helps maintain motivation and prevents rejection sensitivity, especially for those who are neurodivergent. TikTok success isn't just about viral content, reaching the right 200 people can be more valuable than reaching millions of the wrong ones. Traditional coaching methods don't work for everyone, many people need direct guidance rather than having answers drawn out of them. Being detailed about what you want when manifesting goals, helps align your actions with your objectives. Building a business around your values creates genuine connections. Start by focusing on attracting people with similar missions rather than trying to appeal to everyone. Celebrating small wins is essential for sustainable growth - Breaking down larger goals into smaller achievements helps maintain momentum and motivation. BEST MOMENTS "I'm what they call a multipotentialite, if you haven't heard that word, it basically just means that I do all of the stuff, I refuse to niche based on a subject area." "I have made some severely good money from TikTok, from my actual content, from going viral but I actually realised about six months ago that it's not about going viral, it's about reaching the right people." "If you are open and honest about your goals and your missions and what you want to achieve and you're realistic, there is absolutely no reason why you won't hit those goals." "Shouting about your successes is not boasting. It is actually something which will gain you respect."

	05 Mar 2025	Why Your Face Holds the Key to Achieving Your Goals with Tammy Cho	00:39:24
Doug speaks with Tammy Cho, a former healthcare leader who became an international bestselling author and self-love and energy leadership mentor. Tammy reveals how face and body analysis can identify the invisible blocks preventing goal achievement and personal fulfilment. She shares her journey from burnout and disconnection to energy alignment, explaining how our physical features mirror our emotional states and impact our goal attainment. Discover why your face might hold the key to unlocking your full potential and how energy leadership can transform your approach to goals from the inside out. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tammy's burnout as a nurse left her emotionally disconnected from her baby daughter's milestones, revealing that even conventional success (becoming a millionaire) couldn't fill her inner emptiness. Face and body analysis examines how physical features reflect our emotional history. The left side of your face shows your private world, while the right side reveals what you present publicly. Most people blame failed goals on lack of motivation, but the real issue is misalignment between your authentic self and your conscious desires. Your body stores unprocessed emotions as physical markers. Asymmetrical facial features can reveal disconnections between your head and heart that silently sabotage goals. Energy exists in multiple forms; thoughts are electrical impulses, emotions are energy in motion and managing this energy creates a stronger foundation for achieving goals. Before setting goals, practice acceptance of where you currently are. Goals set from an unaligned state create a flawed foundation from the start. Feeling empty despite outward success is your "soul calling". A signal that deeper alignment is needed for everything to flow naturally. Many high achievers fix physical symptoms of burnout but neglect emotional and spiritual healing, creating an ongoing cycle of disconnection that undermines their goals. BEST MOMENTS "At that point, me and my husband became millionaires in real estate and I still was disconnected and unhappy." "A lot of people when they go move about to set intentions and goals for their lives and they don't hit it or they're not getting there fast enough and they blame it on lack of motivation, procrastination." "If you're wanting to set goals over and above your set point, and create a deeper impact in the world, it's so important to go beyond that." "If you feel like you've been on somewhat of a hamster wheel, or you feel like, why am I doing everything right and it's not working? Or you're getting everything done and there's a part of you that feels like there's something missing, but you can't put a finger on it. It's actually your soul calling." "Choose your reaction to an event and choose a positive reaction to an event, and then you'll spiral up instead of spiralling down."

	18 Sep 2024	Innovating Charity Powered by Tech with Christian Purcell of DropPoint	00:39:52
Doug talks to Christian Purcell, the cofounder of DropPoint. Discover how this innovative platform connects donors with charities, revolutionising the way we give. From remote work adventures to creating a self-sustaining charity platform, Christian is an innovator and philanthropist who is championing sustainability and community empowerment. KEY TAKEAWAYS DropPoint is a directory of charities seeking item donations, functioning like a "reverse eBay" for giving away things. The platform uses e-commerce return portal technology to facilitate direct donations from donors to charities. Christian's goal of creating a self-sufficient, remote-work-friendly business was realised through DropPoint. It generates income through integrated courier services, offering rates cheaper than traditional postage options. DropPoint provides opportunities for aspiring tech professionals to gain experience and break into the industry. The platform aims to expand by collaborating with businesses on corporate social responsibility projects. Christian's journey demonstrates how passion projects can lead to personal and professional growth. Remote work opportunities are becoming rarer post-pandemic, Christian recognises the value of flexible work arrangements for both individuals and companies. BEST MOMENTS "I left a good job to go work part time just doing bits and bobs, part time minimum wage work, because I needed to free up my time to build a website, hunt down charities, go through the whole learning curve of how to actually establish and run a legal business." "I honestly feel apart from complete financial independence, which would be amazing. I honestly feel like I have completed my biggest life goals as of a couple of years ago." "If there are some businesses out there that want to do some very big and bold item related charity campaigns, we are all there, whether it's the tech, the logistics, the marketing, the support, anything that you need" EPISODE RESOURCES https://droppoint.org/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-purcell/ https://www.instagram.com/droppointhq/ VALUABLE RESOURCES Website: http://dougbennett.co.uk/ Email: doug@dougbennett.co.uk LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/financialdoug/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/FinancialDoug Facebook Wealth Tribe: https://join.dougbennett.co.uk/ Download Your "Ten-Step Guide To Financial Freedom" Here: https://bit.ly/Struggle-Success BOOKS: *Goals Do Come True* is now live and available to buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3phcy6Z *Think Simple, Win Big* is now live and available to buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Think-Simple-Win-Big-Business/ Enjoy, and come back for the latest podcast each Wednesday.

Doug also reflects on the best from his podcast guests this year, sharing practical steps and tips for your goal setting in 2025.

	03 Jul 2024	Why You Need to Forget SMART Goals: Igniting Your Path to Remarkable Achievements with Rana Al-Falaki	00:46:41
Doug Bennett interviews Dr. Rana Al-Falaki, a health and performance expert who shares her revolutionary approach to goal-setting. Prepare to be inspired as Rana unveils her FIRE technique, challenging the traditional SMART goals method. From visualising million-pound houses to achieving remarkable success, this episode is packed with actionable insights that will transform your approach to personal and professional goals. KEY TAKEAWAYS The FIRE technique (Feeling, Integrity, Relevance, Engaging) adds depth to traditional SMART goals, engaging emotions and aligning goals with personal values. Visualisation and multi-sensory engagement are powerful tools for goal achievement, as demonstrated by Rana’s family experience in manifesting their dream home. Accountability is crucial for goal success, with studies showing you’re 40 times more likely to achieve goals when held accountable. Authenticity is key to personal and professional success, fostering trust and creating a foundation for accountability and goal achievement. The “five-second rule” can effectively combat procrastination by preventing overthinking and tapping into desire rather than fear or logic. Intuition plays a vital role in goal-setting and decision-making, requiring the silencing of distractions to trust your gut instinct. Daily rituals like acknowledging progress, celebrating wins, and practicing gratitude in free-form writing can enhance goal attainment. The “wantaholic syndrome” often leads to short-term fixes; instead, focus on sustainable, remarkable shifts that align with your true self for long-term fulfilment. BEST MOMENTS “Only 9 percent of people who even set their goals do end up carrying on. The good news is if they do, then the chances are they will succeed massively in life.” “I put the SMART goals in the BIN. Because the reality is if you want to achieve remarkable goals, which actually everybody deserves to do, why are we just, you know, sticking for the average?” “If you’re confident in who you are, that’s okay. And societal norms as well that we’re battling against very often. And I think that’s easing back quite a, quite a lot.” “Everything we’ve been talking about is about how to tap into energetic states that allow you to move forward.” “We’re human beings, not human doings. We don’t just do a relationship. We don’t just do a career. We just don’t just do health. Actually, you can have goals in everything.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://nail-it.uk/ Dr Rana Al-Falaki is a health and performance expert, a multi-award-winning and world-renowned specialist in periodontics, a business owner, a visiting professor, a best-selling author, and a published researcher. Dr. Rana has dominated the world stage as one of the very few women, with her innovative pioneering research that now forms the foundation of clinical studies at Harvard, USA, and Kings College, London. https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-rana/ https://www.facebook.com/rana.alfalaki VALUABLE RESOURCES Website: http://dougbennett.co.uk/ Email: doug@dougbennett.co.uk LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/financialdoug/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/FinancialDoug Facebook Wealth Tribe: https://join.dougbennett.co.uk/ Download Your "Ten-Step Guide To Financial Freedom" Here: https://bit.ly/Struggle-Success BOOKS: Goals Do Come True is now live and available to buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3phcy6Z Think Simple, Win Big is now live and available to buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Think-Simple-Win-Big-Business/ Enjoy, and come back for the latest podcast each Wednesday.

	29 Jan 2025	What Modern Sales is Missing with Bryan Flanagan	00:41:59
Doug interviews Bryan Flanagan, a sales legend with an extraordinary journey from IBM to becoming a key figure at the Zig Ziglar Corporation. Bryan gives his advice on goal setting, sales ethics, and personal growth, drawing from his 14 years at IBM and 29 years working alongside Zig Ziglar himself. He also shares his experiences and knowledge about consistency, relationship building, and the balance between personal and professional goals. KEY TAKEAWAYS You cannot consistently perform in a manner inconsistent with how you see yourself - this fundamental principle transformed Bryan's career from a struggling salesman to a successful trainer. Goal setting requires evaluating both benefits and obstacles, if the obstacles outweigh the benefits, you need to find more benefits or reconsider the goal's viability. Personal growth must come before professional growth, investing in yourself and maintaining intentionality in daily goals is crucial for long term success. The intent behind your technique determines your ethics, and understanding this principle helps maintain professionalism and integrity in sales. Successful goal achievement requires involving and communicating with all stakeholders, especially family members who will be impacted by your pursuit. The POGO system (Person, Organisation/Occupation, Goals, Obstacles) provides a structured approach to building meaningful business relationships. Real selling is about relationships, not just digital interactions. Modern sales professionals need to balance traditional relationship building skills with new technology. Setting realistic deadlines is crucial, understanding your obstacles and required skills also helps establish achievable timelines for your goals. BEST MOMENTS "You cannot consistently perform in a manner that's inconsistent with the way you see yourself. You can't perform here if you continue to see yourself here." "If you don't set goals, somebody will set them for you. Obstacles are what we see when we take our eyes off our goal." "My job is to make salespeople more dangerous than they are right now but in a very integrity based way." "I teach what I have to learn. I teach what I need to learn the most." "You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want."

	26 Mar 2025	200th Episode Special	00:05:39
Join Doug as he celebrates 200 episodes of the Goals Do Come True podcast. In this special solo episode, he talks about resilience, reinvention and the rewards of setting goals that truly matter. He also talks about his own journey to success and how overcoming difficulties has been key to his own and others' success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Anyone who has achieved something great has had to deal with difficulties or adversity. Imposter syndrome and self-doubt are common in many people’s journeys to success. Doug’s near bankruptcy, motorbike accident and recent divorce are all difficult events that he has had to overcome but right now he is happier, healthier and more in love with life than ever before. Goal setting is the foundation of every transformation. You can’t drift into success, it has to be planned, designed and built. Doug has bigger plans for the podcast, continuing to help people create a life they can live on their own terms. BEST MOMENTS "Every person that has achieved something incredible has had to overcome something difficult” “When you let go of what no longer serves you, you make space for something amazing” “Your goals really can come true if you have the courage to chase them” VALUABLE RESOURCES Website: http://dougbennett.co.uk/ Email: doug@dougbennett.co.uk LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/financialdoug/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/FinancialDoug Facebook Wealth Tribe: https://join.dougbennett.co.uk/ Download Your "Ten-Step Guide To Financial Freedom" Here: https://bit.ly/Struggle-Success BOOKS: *Goals Do Come True* is now live and available to buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3phcy6Z *Think Simple, Win Big* is now live and available to buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Think-Simple-Win-Big-Business/ Enjoy, and come back for the latest podcast each Wednesday.

	14 Mar 2025	Make Big Hairy Audacious Goals! Doug and Tanja Bogataj's Guide to Intentional Achievement	00:51:02
Doug interviews Tanja Bogataj, a visionary leadership coach who made a bold transition from a government career to entrepreneurship. Tanja shares the challenges of reinventing herself and how she helps other leaders launch their big dreams. The conversation explores goal setting strategies, work/life balance and the importance of support systems. Doug also shares his expert goal setting framework! KEY TAKEAWAYS When setting goals, balance masculine and feminine energies by combining clear structure with intuition, be deliberate with goals but also listen to your inner wisdom about timing and direction. Entrepreneurship provides freedom to create opportunities that align with your passions but also requires different types of courage and creates new challenges not found in a corporate career. Leaders often struggle with having no one to share their challenges with; having a coach or support system is crucial as you can't always burden your team or family with business issues. Being intentional about what you want to achieve helps align your actions with your values. It’s important to understand not just the goal itself but why you want to achieve it. Doug recommends having one primary "big hairy audacious goal," but including smaller achievable goals you can easily achieve to maintain motivation and satisfaction with the goal-setting process. Always prioritise family time in your calendar first, nothing is so important that it should consistently override commitments to family, family time cannot be recovered once lost. Transformation takes time, approximately six months for individuals and up to 12 months for teams, but having a coach can help shortcut patterns of thinking and behaviours that limit progress. BEST MOMENTS "I knew something about coaching, but nothing about entrepreneurship." "We're not brain surgeons, nothing we do is that important that we cannot have a date night." "Trust yourself when you either go for one goal and to be open, flexible to change it and learn how to do it better or what needs to be done. Just go with the wisdom of life and living."

	17 Apr 2024	S4E04: Crafting a Winning Resume: Insider Tips from Pro Ryan MacArthur	00:38:35

Ryan shares his expertise on crafting impactful resumes, leveraging relationships, and navigating the competitive job market. With valuable insights and actionable advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to take their career to the next level. KEY TAKEAWAYS Demonstrating impact in your resume by telling stories that showcase your achievements is crucial for transitioning into new opportunities. Building personal and professional relationships is the strongest tool in any job search, as referrals and connections significantly increase your chances of landing an interview. Tailoring your resume to specific job roles and company requirements is essential to stand out in a crowded job market. Leveraging AI tools like ChatGPT can help streamline research and bridge knowledge gaps when crafting resumes for unfamiliar industries. Demonstrating thought leadership by sharing knowledge and problem-solving skills on platforms like LinkedIn can attract potential employers. Asking for help and reaching out directly to recruiters or hiring managers can make you memorable and increase your chances of success. Finding a balance between pursuing your passion and ensuring financial stability is key to long-term career satisfaction. Adapting to change and leveraging new technologies is crucial for staying relevant in an evolving job market. BEST MOMENTS "It's one thing for me to tell you, Hey, I'm really great at this, but if I can demonstrate impact and show. This is what I've done. And this is what I can do for you. That particularly helps people transition into new opportunities." "When I've got somebody at a company who can say, Hey, I know Doug, he's a great guy. He's amazing what he does. We should get him in here for an interview." "Demonstrating thought leadership, right, where I'm not selling you anything. I'm not trying to get you to buy something. I'm just sharing knowledge. I'm talking about how I've solved problems using that knowledge." "It's just being very solutions oriented." "If you just keep working the problem, we'll find a solution."

	11 Dec 2024	Marketing Expert Darcy Juarez: How to Build Systems That Actually Work	00:45:12
Join Doug as he interviews Darcy Juarez, the behind-the-scenes force of major marketing campaigns and co-author of Dan Kennedy's latest book. With over 20 years of experience, Darcy breaks down complex marketing concepts into digestible, actionable steps. She reveals the secrets of effective direct marketing, sharing insights on automation, customer psychology, and building sustainable marketing systems. KEY TAKEAWAYS Darcy emphasises that marketing success relies on understanding three fundamental elements: identifying the right market, crafting the right message, and choosing the right media channels where your audience pays attention. Darcy advocates for implementing just one marketing system per month, allowing businesses to build 12 effective systems over a year without becoming overwhelmed. Through her decades of experience, she has observed that people respond more strongly to pain avoidance than pleasure seeking. This is a crucial insight she uses to shape marketing messages. Marketing success can be broken down into a four-step process: getting the message delivered, opened, read, and responded to - teaching that failure at any step means overall failure. Focus on principles rather than tactics; principles remain constant while tactics evolve with technology. Through her strategic consulting, Darcy helps businesses identify customers who have both the ability and willingness to buy, two distinct qualities she's found must exist together for success. Removing routine tasks frees up mental energy, allowing business owners to focus on growth and strategy rather than repetitive work. Based on her extensive marketing experience, Darcy reveals that providing clear instructions is crucial - she's found that removing assumptions can double business response rates. BEST MOMENTS "We as small business owners can't even spend a fraction of that to try and get in front of everybody. So we're so much better off figuring out exactly who we are for." "You get to decide your business is your business. You get to decide every business does not have to be the same way." "We overestimate how much we can get done in a short period of time and we underestimate how much we can get done in a longer period of time." ABOUT THE GUEST Website: www.MagneticMarketing.com Darcy Juarez is the woman behind the curtain of some of the biggest marketing campaigns and product launches we have witnessed. You may not have heard her name; but you definitely have seen her work. She recently co-authored Dan Kennedy’s latest book, “No B.S. Direct Marketing for Non-Direct Marketers.” https://www.linkedin.com/in/darcyjuarez/ www.TheDirectMarketingBook.com VALUABLE RESOURCES Website: http://dougbennett.co.uk/ Email: doug@dougbennett.co.uk LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/financialdoug/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/FinancialDoug Facebook Wealth Tribe: https://join.dougbennett.co.uk/ Download Your "Ten-Step Guide To Financial Freedom" Here: https://bit.ly/Struggle-Success BOOKS: *Goals Do Come True* is now live and available to buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3phcy6Z *Think Simple, Win Big* is now live and available to buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Think-Simple-Win-Big-Business/ Enjoy, and come back for the latest podcast each Wednesday.

Chris reveals how setting clear goals and implementing clever automation strategies can transform your business and personal life. Discover the power of creating "Mickey Boat moments" for your loved ones and learn how to achieve your dreams while enjoying the journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS Automation removes regular tasks and sets clear expectations with prospects, nurturing them through the sales process without removing the human touch. Setting specific, measurable goals with a deadline helps break down the steps needed to achieve them and removes the pressure of daily targets. AI will fundamentally change many aspects of work, but it's an opportunity to utilise it to make life easier rather than a threat to jobs. Creating meaningful experiences and memories for loved ones, or "Mickey Boat moments," is a powerful motivator for achieving business success. Passion for what you do is essential for overcoming the challenges of running a business and staying motivated. Understanding that prospects have lives outside of your business and making it easy for them to engage with you is crucial for converting leads. Small, consistent improvements (the "1% task") can lead to significant changes over time, so focus on long-term progress rather than short-term gains. Don't bring people into your life who don't align with your core values, even if they offer financial benefits. BEST MOMENTS "I class [automation] as two different things. One is the removal of regular tasks... and secondly, it's the act of using good automation to set really clear expectations with prospects and not removing the human from the process." "My fundamental purpose is bringing those moments, more moments to myself, more moments to my loved ones, and more moments to the good people that I surround myself with. That's what drives me." "People massively underestimate what they can do in five years and massively overestimate what they can do in one." "If you're setting a goal for the sake of setting a goal... if you don't have a passion for what is going to get you to that goal, then you'll never get there because there's so much about running a business that isn't easy." "Too many business owners think, right, they're not getting back to me. They're not picking up the phone. They must not be interested. It's like, no, they just have a life. And they don't care about your phone call more than their life."

	26 Jun 2024	Crypto Decoded with Daniel Daniel \| Unlocking the Secrets of Cryptocurrency Success	00:46:40
In this episode, Doug explores the world of cryptocurrency with Dr. Daniel Daniel, a former dentist turned crypto educator. From demystifying blockchain technology to revealing the potential of bull run investing, Daniel shares his journey and insights into this revolutionary financial landscape. Get ready for an eye-opening discussion that challenges traditional notions of finance and explores the possibilities of decentralized currencies. Whether you're a crypto sceptic or enthusiast, this episode promises to expand your understanding and maybe even inspire you to take a closer look into crypto and digital currencies. KEY TAKEAWAYS Cryptocurrency, particularly Bitcoin, solves real-world problems in countries with unstable economies by providing a digital alternative to devalued fiat currencies. The crypto market operates in cycles, with bear and bull runs occurring approximately every four years, offering potential investment opportunities. Daniel's "bull run investing" method focuses on accumulating solid crypto projects during bear markets and selling during bull runs for profit. Crypto education is crucial for safe and successful investing, with Daniel emphasising the importance of understanding the technology and market dynamics. Decentralisation is a key benefit of cryptocurrency, preventing government or institutional control over personal assets. The upcoming bull run is predicted to be significant due to increasing mass adoption and institutional involvement in crypto. Daniel advocates for a simplified approach to crypto investing, suitable for busy professionals who can manage their investments in just 10 minutes a day. The crypto industry offers potential returns that may exceed traditional investment methods, but education and careful strategy are essential. BEST MOMENTS "Work is the game we play to fund our life. So pick a game that you're good at, that you enjoy playing, and that's worth winning." "I do see why crypto has inherent value. I do understand there's a finite amount of Bitcoin, just like there is gold on the face of the earth." "I love people. I love teaching. I love sharing what I learned. It's always been in me." "I decline people from my program that I don't want in the program. I do not want it. There's no amount of money on the face of the earth to be worth the headache of dealing with the wrong people."

	13 Nov 2024	Goals, Growth & Getting Unstuck a Guide to Business Growth with David Roberts	00:54:35
Doug talks with David Roberts, a seasoned business leader with 30 years of experience who transforms struggling businesses and helps entrepreneurs reconnect with their purpose. David shares the power of the 12-week year, the psychology of business leadership, and how to overcome feeling stuck. His approach which combines practical business strategy with mindset work, is a framework for business success. Whether you're running a seven-figure business or planning your exit strategy, David's advice about patterns, beliefs, and skills will challenge your thinking about business growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS The 12-week year system accelerates progress by breaking annual goals into 13-week cycles, with the 13th week dedicated to review and planning, enabling better execution and more frequent achievement celebrations. Business owners often feel stuck due to cashflow dependency and emotional attachment; the solution lies in building trusted teams and creating alternative revenue streams. Understanding different personality types is crucial when implementing change. Effective goal setting must accommodate various working styles within a team. Leaders should focus on execution rather than strategy, a successful change requires five elements: vision, resources, plan, skills, and incentives. External factors like economic conditions shouldn't be the primary focus. Instead, try and concentrate on solving problems for customers and staying relevant to your target market. The "Valley of Despair" or "Messy Middle" is an inevitable part of goal achievement; conducting a pre-mortem can help anticipate and prepare for challenges. Balance your focus between practical business metrics and personal leadership development for sustainable success. BEST MOMENTS "A belief is something that you hold to be true, even though it may not be based on fact…so challenge those beliefs." "What people think is well once you've started down the road of looking at selling a company you've kind of then got a sell it and that's not actually the case. What you've got to do is you've got to get yourself to a place where you can sell it if that's something that you want to do." "I don't really see as a leader, how you can lead other people without, without first being a good self leader." "Businesses exist to solve problems so if you are solving a problem and you're staying relevant to a group of people, a group of customers, and enough of them have the problem that you're trying to solve... then brilliant."

	28 Aug 2024	Creating a Life of Choice \| Lisa Catto on Automating Your Life	00:43:28
Doug is joined by Lisa Catto, the "Queen of Automation" as she shares her entrepreneurial journey that has got her to where she is today. Doug and Lisa talk in depth about business automation, goal setting, and personal growth sharing their ideas and insights on creating a life of choice, not necessity and the strategies you need to implement to create the life you want. KEY TAKEAWAYS Automation can save businesses significant time and money by identifying and eliminating inefficiencies in processes and workflows. Setting clear, actionable goals requires not just wishful thinking, but detailed planning, resource allocation, and consistent time investment. Prioritising personal health and well-being is crucial for long-term success and the ability to enjoy the fruits of your labour! Creating systems and habits to manage ADHD tendencies can lead to increased productivity and the ability to channel creative energy effectively. Effective delegation and time-blocking are essential skills for entrepreneurs to maximise their productivity and focus on high-value tasks. Understanding your own work style and communicating it clearly to colleagues and clients can help set expectations and improve overall efficiency. Regularly examining and refining your goals in terms of health, wealth, and relationships can lead to a more fulfilling and balanced life. Embracing technology and automation tools can help businesses streamline operations and scale more effectively, but it's important to choose the right tools for your specific needs. BEST MOMENTS "A goal without a plan is a wish. So if you have a goal and you really want to achieve it, then you need to sit down and do the thinking time around what it's going to take to achieve it realistically, and then whatever time you think it's going to take, double it." "I'm a great believer in something that I call incremental is exponential. If I can save someone five minutes, 12 times a day, that's an hour. If I can do that every day of the week for them, that's five hours a week, which is 25 hours a month." "If there's one thing, which is look after your body. Then you know, your, your body and your teeth, you get one go. There is no reset. There is no three lives." "Don't worry necessarily about the how. You can live as the person that has already achieved that goal energetically. What's my life going to look like? How am I going to feel about my life? What am I going to be doing day to day once I'm there?" "You are the master of the design of your own life and you need to take responsibility for that."

You just have to start working on it. And I recommend people make one, one change at a time." "The real key with the goal is the motivation to start taking action. And then when you take action, even if you're failing or you're not doing it, what, what you wanted to happen, you're still moving forward." "Instead, focus on the fact that that goal, I know, right? That goal drove you to make those changes and now you have tools." "When you fail, that's teaching you something, it's teaching you what not to do next. And that's equally, equally valuable."

	30 Oct 2024	Creating Inner Wealth with Podcaster Summer Kang	00:34:58
Doug interviews Summer Kang, a self-improvement podcaster who hosts the globally successful podcast "Inner Wealth." Despite her age, Summer shares profound insights gained from studying self development since age 11. From the power of gratitude to understanding life's mystical flow, she delivers five transformative lessons that challenge conventional thinking about success and personal growth. Summer offers a fresh perspective and deep understanding of universal principles, join her and Doug in this episode to learn more about gratitude, discipline and what it takes to build a successful mindset. KEY TAKEAWAYS Gratitude is the magnetic force that attracts more blessings. Being genuinely thankful for what you have creates a high vibration energy that accelerates goal achievement. True discipline is self-love in action, choosing long term fulfilment over temporary pleasure builds character and creates freedom. Life's challenges are opportunities for growth. Embracing difficulties as necessary steps in personal evolution transforms obstacles into stepping stones External circumstances mirror internal realities, recurring problems in life reflect internal issues that need addressing. The manifestation process requires both action and surrender, combine focused effort with trust in life's natural flow. Self-talk shapes reality, your subconscious mind works to prove your beliefs true, whether positive or negative. Success comes through loving the journey - focus on the process of becoming rather than fixating on end goals. Service to humanity creates purpose so combining personal gifts with helping others generates meaningful fulfilment. BEST MOMENTS "If we're not grateful for what we have, how can we expect to be given more in life? Whether you believe, you know, God to be the power or the universe, but even simply just the word life, we have to be grateful for what we have." "Self discipline is self love. It's understanding that right now I'm going to put temporary pleasure aside for the bigger goal or bigger gain of my life." "Life is life is a gift. It's such a privilege to be here and to look at life and to see a problem or to approach it negatively is only ever a disservice to us because it's an honour really to have this opportunity." "When something keeps crumbling externally, it's because somewhere in us, we have that problem going on." "Life has this ebb and flow it's like a yin and yang of give and take, effortless action, where when we give something in our work when we put energy into something intention into it, we do our part, but then we allow nature to take its course.” ABOUT THE GUEST Summer is the 19 year old host of Inner wealth. A global podcast, in the top 2.5%, that has generated over 40,000 downloads in the first few months of launch. With listeners tuning in from 125 countries. Summer uses her gift to break down complex spiritual and self- development topics into digestible truths for a greater existence. The real secrets to a rich life: pouring into your mind and soul. From the age of 11 Summer has been obsessed with all things self- development; looking at it from every angle, in pursuit of finding answers for her life. Summer is now sharing this with the world: in hopes of making it a little easier for others to get to the same wisdom. The core of Summers purpose remains a constant… to be of service to humanity.

	15 May 2024	S4E07: Holistic Goal Setting: Aligning Mind, Body, and Business Laura Di Franco	00:33:50
Doug Bennett interviews holistic health expert and award-winning publisher Laura Di Franco. They discuss the importance of setting and achieving goals, journaling, and treating the whole being for optimal health. Laura shares her insights on building a successful business, the mind-body connection, and the power of self-love. KEY TAKEAWAYS Writing down goals is crucial for success; it sends a message to your subconscious that you're serious about achieving them. Building a strong team is essential for business growth, especially for solopreneurs with many ideas. Holistic health involves treating the whole being, including the physical body, mind, and soul, for optimal healing and performance. Self-love and self-care are the foundation for spreading love and positivity in the world. Journaling is a powerful tool for self-awareness, channelling creativity, and moving energy. Overthinking can hinder progress; focus on the present moment and take action instead of worrying about potential outcomes. Your purpose has a face and a name. Learn to understand your ideal client or audience on a deep, personal level to create meaningful offerings. Building communities and collaborating with others can help holistic health professionals share their messages and grow their businesses. BEST MOMENTS "When it's out loud, it's real. When you put it out of your head and you get it into black and white on the screen, the paper... That's an awareness tool." "If I wasn't helping the whole being... if I was not going to treat these clients as a whole, I would be missing something really important." "Fall in love with yourself. And then, you know, watch the laser beam of light that you are for that love in the world." "I write to feng shui my soul first. Like, it's not about really that important thing that's in there, because if it's that important, you'll find it. You'll go back and you'll find the notes. It's more about the process of moving the energy." "We're better together. And so that helps, I think a little to understand who I'm serving” EPISODE RESOURCES VALUABLE RESOURCES Website: http://dougbennett.co.uk/ Email: doug@dougbennett.co.uk LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/financialdoug/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/FinancialDoug Facebook Wealth Tribe: https://join.dougbennett.co.uk/ Download Your "Ten-Step Guide To Financial Freedom" Here: https://bit.ly/Struggle-Success BOOKS: Goals Do Come True is now live and available to buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3phcy6Z Think Simple, Win Big is now live and available to buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Think-Simple-Win-Big-Business/ Enjoy, and come back for the latest podcast each Wednesday.

In this episode, Doug Bennett interviews real estate mogul Jason Yarusi, who shares his inspiring journey from directionless bartender to successful apartment complex investor. Jason reveals the life-changing event that sparked his transformation and the powerful goal-setting strategies he used to build a real estate portfolio of over 3,000 units. KEY TAKEAWAYS Clarity and self-awareness are crucial for setting meaningful goals that align with your true desires Embracing failure as a learning opportunity is essential for personal growth and achieving success Establishing a morning routine that includes meditation and exercise can lead to improved focus and productivity Breaking negative habits and replacing them with positive ones is key to creating lasting change Surrounding yourself with positivity and abundance is necessary to overcome the inevitable negativity in life Investing in large apartment communities can provide greater opportunities for success and economies of scale Involving family and friends as passive investors can help fund real estate ventures while diversifying their portfolios Defining your goals and working backwards to identify the first step is crucial for taking action and building momentum BEST MOMENTS "I started out having no goals, right? And so I guess the goal of having no goals was my first journey, right?" "Big doesn't always mean riskier. It means that there's more opportunity for an investment to be successful" "It's important to have a goal, but it's also important to understand when the goal needs to change to get you better on the path to where you want to be." "We have to make sure we, we oversupply on abundance and positivity because that little bit, that little nugget of negativity. It causes havoc, it disrupts your day in a massive action." "You are putting yourself in bad places, bad spots, having bad decisions, and you're getting bad results.

	15 Jan 2025	How to Retire Happy with Shawn Maloney	00:37:03
Doug connects with Shawn Maloney, a retirement planning expert to explore retirement planning and goal setting. Their conversation explores the psychology of retirement, the importance of planning beyond just finances and how to truly retire happy. Shawn also shares his innovative "retire happy framework" and discusses the crucial balance between enjoying retirement and ensuring financial security. KEY TAKEAWAYS The retirement journey isn't just about money, it's crucial to understand what will bring fulfilment and joy in retirement before figuring out the financial aspects. Only 10-15% of people have a proper drawdown plan for retirement, professional guidance in most cases is needed to create a sustainable retirement strategy. There are three distinct stages of retirement: the "go-go years" (high activity and spending), "slow-go years" (reduced activity), and "no-go years" (focused on medical and basic needs). The psychological shift from career to retirement is significant, people need to redefine their purpose and identity beyond their work life. Start retirement planning in your forties when your career and earnings are more defined, rather than waiting until your fifties when market dips become riskier. Consider the "opportunity cost" when making decisions. This means to evaluate whether actions are moving you toward or away from your retirement goals. Focus on covering base needs first to achieve the "happy factor" - ensuring peace of mind before planning for additional wants and wishes. Creating a work-optional lifestyle should be the goal, allowing flexibility to continue working on your own terms rather than necessity. BEST MOMENTS "Let's cover your base needs, your core expenses on a monthly basis. If you get that covered and get your nest egg generating that monthly need, that's your peace of mind, right? That's your happy factor." "The money is just the money. The money in your house is just money. Your equity in your house is just money. And the money in your savings is just money. And the money in your retirement planning is just money." "Set your goals and look at what the opportunity cost is of not setting that goal and trying to work toward it”. "Life isn't linear... I've seen your life 10 years from now, 15 years from now, 20 years from now, because of all the people that have been looking after over the last 40 years" ABOUT THE GUEST https://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-maloney-retire-wise/ https://www.facebook.com/shawnmaloney01 https://www.retirewisepro.com/ VALUABLE RESOURCES Website: http://dougbennett.co.uk/ Email: doug@dougbennett.co.uk LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/financialdoug/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/FinancialDoug Facebook Wealth Tribe: https://join.dougbennett.co.uk/ Download Your "Ten-Step Guide To Financial Freedom" Here: https://bit.ly/Struggle-Success BOOKS: *Goals Do Come True* is now live and available to buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3phcy6Z *Think Simple, Win Big* is now live and available to buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Think-Simple-Win-Big-Business/ Enjoy, and come back for the latest podcast each Wednesday.

Host Doug interviews Dr. Donese Worden, a passionate entrepreneur and health expert. They dive into the importance of prioritising health for entrepreneurs, discussing the "7 Pillars" of health that everyone should monitor. With a fun and informative conversation spanning from sleep to spirituality to bowel movements, this episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to optimise their well-being and achieve their goals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Entrepreneurs often neglect their health, but it's their most important asset for success The "7 Pillars" of health are: sleep, body, bowel movements, energy, mental state, relationships, and spirituality Monitoring bowel movements can provide valuable insights into overall health and potential issues Food sensitivities, not just allergies, can significantly impact health and should be tested Setting goals in all areas of life, not just business, is crucial for well-being and success The body has an amazing capacity to heal itself when given the right conditions Entrepreneurs have the potential to solve the world's broken systems through innovative thinking Focusing on one area of health at a time can prevent overwhelm and lead to steady improvements BEST MOMENTS "Number one asset is actually you. Without your health, you can't do any of it." "Most of the time it's within your reach. It's your diet, your lifestyle, your, you know, you're not, not exercising." "The goal is learning to connect to something greater than yourself, feeling it every day." "Entrepreneurs, we're the ones that are going to save this planet, save our systems, save our economies, save our, uh, our politics." "The medical system is broken. The political system is broken.

	19 Mar 2025	Setting Ridiculous Goals with 'Lord Zoom' John Drinkwater	01:05:18
Doug is joined by John Drinkwater, known as toastmasters Lord Zoom. John talks to Doug about how he became a Zoom expert during the pandemic, creating virtual Toastmasters events including TV productions that drew global audiences. He shares Zoom's AI capabilities, content creation strategies and his unconventional approach to goal setting. KEY TAKEAWAYS John describes himself as either fully committed or completely disengaged, which explains his approach to goals as ‘dangerous rabbit holes’ that consume his focus once he commits to them. After closing his business to care for his parents, John joined Toastmasters International for mental stimulation, becoming involved just before COVID forced everything online, positioning him perfectly to become a Zoom expert! When faced with hosting a Toastmasters conference online with no budget, John engineered a complex computer setup that transformed Zoom meetings into a TV-show experience, earning him the nickname "Lord Zoom" and attracting nearly 1,000 viewers globally. John believes effective online presentations should combine public speaking skills, marketing techniques, acting methods, and video production knowledge. Being reasonably good at all four areas beats being excellent at just one. Zoom's built in transcription, caption capabilities and companion AI can work together to capture meeting content and refine it, with the AI able to process transcript content into polished, concise material that preserves the speaker's intent. For ambitious goals, John recommends multiplying your target by 10-100x to make it ‘stupendously stupid’, even if you fall short, you'll achieve far more than with modest goals, while pairing this with more realistic short term milestones. Creating scarcity through limited availability (like offering only 500 spots for a program) generates FOMO (fear of missing out) and makes people more likely to commit, even when pursuing extremely ambitious targets. Rather than giving all content away free, John advises offering enough value to inspire interest, then creating interactive coaching programs where people work through processes together, as group coaching provides multiple perspectives and is more scalable than one-on-one sessions. BEST MOMENTS "I'm a very binary guy, I either sit there and don't say a word, or you can't shut me up.“ "I basically just told my customers, I'm terribly sorry, but I'm going to stop trading in a couple of months time because I've decided that I love my parents so much that I want to look after them in their final years... and I disappeared for ten years." "If you're going to do it, you need to have an overriding ridiculous goal and whatever your overriding ridiculous goal is, you probably need to multiply it by 10 or 100 to turn it into absolutely stupendously stupid goal." "If you think half a million is good, then why not a million? And you think a million is not good, why not aim for five million? Now if I fail miserably and I get five hundred thousand, it's still a brilliant goal." "If people are gonna watch you, then you should take some effort to make it more interesting.” ABOUT THE GUEST https://www.linkedin.com/in/johndrinkwaterlordzoom/ VALUABLE RESOURCES Website: http://dougbennett.co.uk/ Email: doug@dougbennett.co.uk LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/financialdoug/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/FinancialDoug Facebook Wealth Tribe: https://join.dougbennett.co.uk/ Download Your "Ten-Step Guide To Financial Freedom" Here: https://bit.ly/Struggle-Success BOOKS: *Goals Do Come True* is now live and available to buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3phcy6Z *Think Simple, Win Big* is now live and available to buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Think-Simple-Win-Big-Business/ Enjoy, and come back for the latest podcast each Wednesday.

	10 Jul 2024	Meet Learners Where They Are: River's AI Solution for Engaging Education	00:20:24
Doug is joined by Dr. Doreen Rivers, known as River, to talk about her groundbreaking AI-powered platform, Savantz.ai. Discover how River's innovative solution is revolutionising online education and content creation, making learning more engaging and effective. From repurposing books to transforming corporate training, River shares insights that could change the game for entrepreneurs, educators, and businesses alike. Don't miss this fascinating discussion about the future of learning and content delivery! KEY TAKEAWAYS River is a consultant and entrepreneur with 30 years of experience in startups, often hired to help launch new companies. She wrote a book called "Brain to Bank" and initially planned to create an online course based on it. River hired an AI specialist to help create her course, which led to the development of the Savantz platform. Savantz is an AI-powered platform that converts text into engaging, educational micro-videos. From her experience teaching at university level, River has a depth of understanding of modern learning challenges. Savant helps create content that people will actually watch and learn from, addressing short attention spans and modern learning preferences. Savantz can repurpose existing content like books, PowerPoint presentations, and blogs into valuable video courses and offers features like story generation to enhance educational content and improve retention. The platform aims to help content creators monetise their existing material more effectively than traditional book sales. River describes herself as more comfortable behind the camera as a producer, rather than in front of it. She's passionate about improving learning outcomes and adapting educational methods to suit modern learners. BEST MOMENTS "I realised I am not creating an online course for Brain to Bake. I am actually creating a platform that could help millions of people take the text that they already have... and turn them into micro modules, small videos that people would actually watch." "We don't just create videos. We care that at the end of that, you've actually learned what you set out to learn." "What if you could take that same information, and let's face it, every kid, no matter what age they are, up to 50, they have their phone in front of their face, and they're watching something on their phone. So let's meet them there." "We are creating videos for education specifically. We are creating enhancement tools."

	07 Aug 2024	The Power of Self Belief with Director & Coach Dave Callan	00:47:22
Doug speaks to director, coach and mentor Dave Callan in this episode. Dave talks through his journey of sports and business and shares his knowledge on goal setting, personal growth, and the power of coaching. Dave and Doug also discuss the influence of self belief on personal development and the importance of mentorship and coaching to reach your full potential. KEY TAKEAWAYS Setting ambitious goals and following your passion can lead to unexpected opportunities and remarkable career growth. Self belief is crucial in achieving goals, but it must be coupled with conviction to act and the ability to overcome self doubt. Understanding how emotions impact performance can be a game changer in both personal and professional settings. Developing consistent habits and removing friction are key to achieving long term success and personal growth. High performance environments in sports can teach lessons applicable to many other aspects of life and business. Reflective practices and understanding how the mind works can significantly enhance personal development and relationship building. Engaging in coaching experiences can help individuals find their potential and realise what their goals for the future are. BEST MOMENTS "If you believe that you can, you're probably right. And if you believe that you can't, you're probably right." "The magic is in the work that often that you want to avoid. If it's something that you don't want to do or something that you're trying to avoid, sometimes for me, that's a signal that that's where I should be focusing my efforts." "When you set in these big, hairy, audacious goals, make sure that you're aware of the hidden metrics that are going to be impacted by it." "I think when we set goals and we think about KPIs and we think about metrics and we think about numbers, if we're not aware of those hidden metrics, if we're not aware of the dormant fallacy, then we can quite easily become a cropper." "Coaching is around helping humans and helping people find the power within, if you like, to reach their potential through holding great space, through challenging conversations and challenging questions."

	23 Oct 2024	How to Scale Your Business Without Losing the Human Touch with Liam Barry	00:37:22
Doug is joined by Liam Barry, a client journey and automation specialist. Liam has spent 15 years mastering the art of automotive simulation as a process specialist and he talks to Doug about how he has transformed complex tasks into streamlined operations that boosted speed, efficiency, and consistency. He also shares how he has taken that same innovative approach, and applied it to the business world, helping companies drive more leads, increase sales conversions, and ultimately, enhance their bottom line. Their conversation gives practical insights for any business owner looking to modernise their operations while maintaining authentic customer connections. KEY TAKEAWAYS Don't rush into buying multiple software subscriptions. First, you need to assess what functionality your existing systems offer, to avoid unnecessary costs and complexity. AI and automation shift the workforce rather than eliminate it. New technology creates new types of jobs while streamlining existing processes. Break down large automation goals into manageable chunks. Ensure you focus on the process that's taking most of your time first and then expand from there. Automation can save significant time in client onboarding so what takes hours manually can be reduced to zero whilst still maintaining consistency. The key to effective AI implementation is providing detailed, conversational input as generic questions yield generic answers. Different generations have varying preferences for communication, consider offering both automated and personal touch options. Personal videos can be integrated into automated sequences to maintain human connection while saving time. Understanding your client journey before implementing tech solutions ensures you choose the right tools and automation strategies. BEST MOMENTS "We map out exactly what you want to achieve with your business, how you want clients and leads to experience your business and then when we understand that and we understand the end goal, we can sort out the technology to make that happen in the most automated and efficient way." "Learn what you need so you understand, not say you're an expert." "If you do something where it's much more conversational, more like how two humans, I know this sounds ridiculous, but how you would communicate with two humans is like, this is what I'm trying to do. This is the background. This is what I want to get out of it." "We're not trying to lose the personal touch by using automation. We don't want it to sound like a robot." "If we sit here and go, right, we're going to have this, 10 different client journeys within my business of all these different things I want to do. I want them all singing and dancing and all automating."

	04 Sep 2024	Finding Your LinkedIn Potential & Goal Storming with Sam Rathling	00:53:25
Doug Bennett interviews, Sam Rathling, Global Expert on all things LinkedIn and Social Selling. Author of 'Linked Inbound' & 'Linked Outbound'. She has consulted for some of the biggest brands in the world and helped her clients generate over £168m. From goal-storming to Olympic dreams, Sam shares her incredible journey of entrepreneurship, motherhood, and battling cancer. Discover how setting intentions can manifest success, learn the secrets of LinkedIn mastery, and be inspired by Sam's resilience. KEY TAKEAWAYS Goal-storming is a powerful technique where you brainstorm goals in various life categories, writing down everything without filtering, then selecting the top two for each category. Align goals with core values and focus on who you need to become to achieve them, not just what you want to accomplish. Set specific LinkedIn goals: Add new connections daily, post content at least three times a week, and engage with 5-10 posts from your target audience daily. Create a conversion mechanism to move LinkedIn connections off-platform and into your sales funnel, such as free events or lead magnets. Track your numbers and conversion rates to understand how many leads you need to achieve your business goals. Teach goal setting to children early, using vision boards and annual goal-setting exercises to instil the habit. Your LinkedIn profile should speak directly to your ideal client, addressing their pain points and including clear calls-to-action. Leverage personal stories and vulnerability in your content to increase engagement and build authentic connections. BEST MOMENTS "I always say what gets measured gets done so I think the fact that I do track things, I track things very analytically every month on business, but also I do look at all aspects of what, how I'm working in my life in general." "My goal from LinkedIn is to move people onto my email list. And then if they're on my email list. Then they get invited to my free events and my free events turn them into customers" "I'm big into give as much value for free as possible because if people go, wow, if that's her free stuff, like imagine what would happen if I actually paid her money." "I think goals have always been a massive part of my life and I instil it in my kids as well. They've done vision boards and goal boards since they were three years old."

	21 Aug 2024	The Goal Driven Approach to Social Media Success with Emma Tessler	00:33:52
Emma Tessler is the Founder and CEO of Ninety Five Media; a digital marketing agency that builds results-driven marketing strategies for scaling brands. Emma shares her journey from interior designer to social media marketing and talks about goal setting, remote work, and building a successful business. From overcoming fears to leveraging social media for brand growth, Emma shares her experience and knowledge to help others create and build a successful business. KEY TAKEAWAYS Goal setting is crucial for business success, but goals often shift over time as you grow and evolve. Remote work can create a flexible, productive environment when managed effectively and with clear expectations. Social media marketing is essential for brand consistency and customer engagement. Building a personal brand can be more effective than creating separate identities for multiple businesses. Clear, specific goals with measurable KPIs help manage and create success in marketing and business growth. Podcasting can serve as a valuable secondary education and networking tool for entrepreneurs. Overcoming the fear of setting big goals is essential for personal and professional growth. Content marketing, while intimidating at first, becomes more manageable and effective with practice and the right strategies. BEST MOMENTS "I think everyone's biggest goal kind of shifts over time” "If you don't have the goal, then how can you actually achieve where you want to go? I know for me personally, when I first started my business, I actually was so resistant to setting goals because I felt like if I set this huge goal and then I didn't achieve it. I was like this big failure" "I would focus on building your personal brand, which encompasses all of the below, because if someone is working with you on the financial side of things, maybe, and I don't know how they maybe funnel through your services, but I may assume that they come to you and want to figure out when can they stop working." "It's all about the money folks. And it's not a dirty word, right? Money is not a dirty word. It helps the world go around and selling is not a dirty word either."

	03 Apr 2024	S4E02: Connecting the Dots: Achieving Your Goals Through Meaningful Interactions with David Castro	00:31:59
Host Doug Bennett chats with David (Dave) Castro, the visionary CEO of Icebreaker. Dive into the world of seamless networking as Dave unveils his ground-breaking app that revolutionises the way we interact at events and beyond. Dave shares his personal journey, the challenges he's faced, and the unwavering passion that drives him forward. Join Doug and Dave as they explore the power of human connection, the importance of staying focused on your dreams, and the incredible potential that lies within each of us. KEY TAKEAWAYS Icebreaker is a revolutionary app that connects users with their ideal connections within eyeball distance, using keywords to notify them of potential matches. The app works seamlessly in both in-person and virtual settings, making it a versatile tool for networking and collaboration. Setting macro-level goals and being open to pivots along the way can lead to better outcomes and opportunities. Reviewing your goals regularly, either by writing them down or using an app to listen to them, helps keep you accountable and focused. Adding "or better" or "or more" to your goals can open up possibilities and prevent limiting yourself. Having a coach or accountability group is crucial for staying on track with your goals and filtering out distractions. Investing in self-education and personal development is essential for continued growth and success. The world is full of good people, and focusing on making genuine connections can lead to a more fulfilling life. BEST MOMENTS "The life that we're dreaming of is built through the connections that we make.” "My intent really is to serve people where they're at and what they need." "The money will come. I'm a pretty content guy, but I would love to make, a comfortable living for myself and my kids." "We're all trying to do our best. So, the older I get the more patient I want to be and more understanding and humble." "Dreams go maybe delayed or unfulfilled, but I like to say delayed because they don't have somebody there helping them to stay."

	11 Sep 2024	Planning for Failure: The Secret to Achieving Your Biggest Goals with Paul Kinkaid	00:40:11
Doug is joined by global speaker, author of Forensic Leadership: The Traces We Leave Behind, leadership coach, mentor and former elite British Army Commando Lieutenant Colonel Paul Kinkaid. Paul shares his journey from military service to developing the concept of "Forensic Leadership." Discover how Paul's unique experiences shaped his approach to leadership, goal-setting, and personal growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS Paul's concept of "Forensic Leadership" is based on the principle that every interaction leaves a trace, either positive (green) or negative (red). The three guiding principles of Forensic Leadership are care, notice, and transparency, which help maximise positive outcomes in interactions. Paul developed DactoApp, a software tool that measures leadership traits and predicts how "green" or "red" a leader is, allowing organisations to identify and address leadership issues. Transitioning from military to civilian life can be challenging, as it involves redefining one's identity and finding a new purpose. Setting ambitious goals, can provide direction and create good motivation. Planning for failure is crucial when setting goals, as it helps identify potential obstacles and create contingency plans. Paul's military background provided valuable lessons in leadership and goal achievement that he has then applied to business and his personal life. Developing emotional connections and demonstrating genuine care are essential aspects of effective leadership, regardless of the environment. BEST MOMENTS "Great leadership comes from a position of care and that comes from a couple of profound incidents that happened, and it's in the TED Talk as well that happened in my career that held a mirror up." "If you communicate effectively how the organisation is going to grow and develop and you communicate that intent, which is what I call it. Lots of people call it their why, their vision, their mission, their purpose. I call it intent." "If you're going to set goals in order to succeed, plan for failure. So too many people are too optimistic. You've got to understand where, how, and if it's going to go wrong." "When I left the army as Colonel Poole. I spent a long time working out who I was now, and it was my choice to take the uniform off, but it was hard, it was really hard, handing that uniform in." "We talk about big, hairy, audacious goals and, you know, Colonel in the Armed Forces, Big Hairy Audacious Goal. An app out into the world, Big Hairy Audacious Goal. Number one bestseller, Big Hairy Audacious Goal. What's next?"

	09 Oct 2024	The Power of Monday Motivation: Karen Grosz's Journey to Positivity	00:42:21
Doug speaks with Karen Grosz, also known as the "Monday Videos Lady" for her enthusiastic weekly motivational videos. Karen shares her journey from being shy to becoming a successful team building expert and author. She also discusses the importance of goal setting, authenticity, and embracing life's opportunities. KEY TAKEAWAYS Setting and sharing goals is crucial for success. Tell individuals and groups about your goals to find support and accountability. Authenticity is key to personal and professional growth. Karen found more success when she embraced her natural grey hair and true self. Protecting and nurturing your energy is essential. Karen maintains her enthusiasm through good sleep, nutrition, and surrounding herself with positive people. Collaborative art can be a powerful tool for team building, fostering communication and shared pride in accomplishments. Changing your mindset from being miserable to cheerful can dramatically improve your life and relationships. It's never too late to pursue new goals or try new things. Karen did stand-up comedy for the first time recently, proving age is just a number. Young people often want to learn from those with experience. Don't be afraid to share your wisdom and lessons learned. During times of transition, we have the opportunity to reinvent ourselves and become the person we want to be. BEST MOMENTS "You only hurt yourself in the kitchen until you decide to stop hurting yourself in the kitchen." "You have one life and you get to make the choice. And we need you there, whatever you're good at." "Share your goal. When you figure out what it is and you really want it, you have to tell individuals and you have to tell rooms full of people because there is somebody out there who is going to help you make it come true." "You're not too old. And it's not too late. You just have to start whatever the goal is that you want to achieve." "When you are scared of going for your goal, when you're scared of making that choice, that change in your life, when you're scared of going from morose to the happy, you just have to remember that that thing you're scared of is not a bear. It is a cow."

	22 Jan 2025	Rewriting the Rules of Grief with Ghulam Fernandes	00:42:55
Doug talks to grief specialist Ghulam Fernandes to explore the complex world of grief and loss. Through her own powerful journey of multiple personal losses, Ghulam talks about handling grief, building emotional resilience, and transforming pain into purpose. This episode isn't just about dealing with death – it's about understanding how various types of loss impact our lives and learning practical tools to navigate life's challenges while maintaining our goals and vision. KEY TAKEAWAYS Unresolved grief has three main causes: undelivered communication of significance, regrets about things being different/better, and unrealised hopes, dreams, and expectations Grief isn't restricted to bereavement, it can arise from any significant change in familiar patterns of behaviour, including career changes, relationships, and life transitions Common myths about grief like "be strong," "keep busy," and "time heals all wounds" can actually hinder the healing process and keep people stuck in their grief Grief is both cumulative and negative, it doesn't simply go away with time but needs to be actively processed and addressed Self-soothing behaviours like comfort eating, drinking, or gambling often mask unresolved grief and shouldn't be relied upon as coping mechanisms Building emotional resilience and establishing good self-care strategies are crucial for handling grief effectively While we can't change what has happened, we can choose how we respond to it and work to create something positive from our experiences Goal setting plays a vital role in grief recovery by helping create a clear vision and path forward while maintaining healthy boundaries BEST MOMENTS "It's like we carry a backpack and whenever we have difficult things we're not sure what to do with we kind of stuff them in there and then try and carry on." "You don't have to have one big wound, you can die from a thousand paper cuts and if you don't have a way of processing those things and regaining your peace of mind, then those things will sit there and keep being added to." "I want to be able to make a world of difference to those people that come into my path without expending lots of energy, worrying about all the people I can't help." "You can't change what's happened, but you can choose how you respond." "If you don't take care of yourself first, you actually end up with an empty cup and nothing to give."
