For years, he was deeply involved in the clinical side of the practice, personally generating around 40% of its revenue. But as his interest in business, strategy & leadership grew, he began asking an important question: how could he build a successful business that no longer depended on him?
That question led Michael on an intensive journey of business education. He read around 100 business books in three years, including Traction by Gino Wickman, & began applying what he learned to his practice. Over time, he reduced his clinical contribution from 40% of revenue to just 0.6%, creating a business that could operate successfully without relying on any single person.
Michael shares how clear expectations, strong recruitment, accountability & the right Visionary/Integrator relationship helped him build a more scalable & dependable organisation. With a strong leadership team around him, he was able to move away from doing everything himself & focus instead on vision, growth & the bigger picture.
Debra & Michael also explore some of the harder realities of business ownership, including dealing with underperforming team members, maintaining high standards, learning from mistakes & creating a culture where people feel comfortable giving honest feedback. Michael explains why reducing key-person dependency is one of the most important things any owner can do to protect the long-term value of their business.
The conversation also dives into financial resilience. Michael shares why business owners need to prepare for difficult periods while things are going well, from maintaining a rainy-day fund to understanding cash flow & making thoughtful long-term investments. Having experienced economic uncertainty firsthand, he explains why planning for the unexpected is essential for both financial security & peace of mind.

Along the way, he built an impressive career creating campaigns for global brands & later launched his own content production & advertising business.
Despite his creative success, Nathan’s business ultimately failed. Poor financial management, inconsistent cash flow & the absence of a reliable sales pipeline led to bankruptcy. Rather than allowing the experience to define him, Nathan chose to learn from it. He openly shares the hard lessons he discovered about cash flow, networking, business strategy & the importance of separating creative talent from sound business management.
Nathan eventually joined The Attention Seeker, where implementing EOS® transformed the way the business operates. With clear accountability, structured Level 10 Meeting® rhythms, transparent communication & defined roles through The Accountability Chart®, the agency reduced politics, strengthened collaboration & built a more profitable, stable business. Nathan explains why structure does not limit creativity. It creates the freedom for creative people to do their best work.
Debra & Nathan also explore the importance of company culture & core values, discussing how transparency, daily recognition of team members & hiring based on shared values have helped create a high-performing team. Nathan shares why reporting to someone younger than himself became a valuable lesson in humility, proving that great businesses are built on merit, not hierarchy or ego.
Throughout the conversation, Nathan offers honest advice for entrepreneurs who are facing setbacks. He encourages business owners to never stop learning, let go of ego & remember that material possessions do not define success. Instead, lasting success comes from building a healthy business, maintaining strong relationships & creating a life that is fulfilling both professionally & personally.

A major focus of the conversation is how AI is transforming the way businesses use EOS®. Kris explains that AI is not replacing the EOS® process or the role of the EOS® Implementer. Instead, it removes administrative work, surfaces insights & helps leadership teams spend more time solving real business issues.
Debra & Kris discuss how AI-powered tools within Ninety.io can improve meeting preparation, identify patterns, provide visibility into team performance & help leaders ask better questions. They also explore how Ninety.io is balancing innovation with the simplicity that makes EOS® so effective.
Beyond technology, Kris shares why exit planning should begin long before a business owner is ready to sell. He explains how EOS® helps businesses become less dependent on the founder by building stronger leadership teams, clearer accountability & systems that allow the business to thrive independently.
Throughout the episode, Debra & Kris reinforce that while AI can improve productivity & efficiency, lasting business success still depends on clear leadership, disciplined execution & meaningful human relationships.

Like many business owners, she initially chose to self-implement EOS®, believing the team could learn & apply the tools themselves.While self-implementing EOS® created significant improvements, Niki explains that it also revealed its limitations. Leadership time that should have been focused on growing the business was instead spent facilitating sessions, learning the process & keeping everyone aligned.
Eventually, she realised that having an objective EOS Implementer® accelerated progress, challenged assumptions & allowed the leadership team to focus on leading rather than facilitating.
A major theme throughout the conversation is the power of The Accountability Chart®. Niki describes it as one of the most transformational EOS® tools because it creates clarity around roles, responsibilities & expectations. Rather than organising people around job titles, The Accountability Chart® helps leadership teams build the structure the business actually needs to achieve its vision.
The discussion also covers the impact of Level 10 Meeting®, the EOS Proven Process™ & why consistent execution is far more valuable than trying to customise or shortcut the system. Throughout the episode, Niki emphasises that EOS® is not simply a collection of business tools. It is a complete operating system that delivers the greatest results when followed as designed.
This episode is essential listening for entrepreneurs considering self-implementing EOS®, leadership teams looking to create greater clarity & accountability, & business owners who want to understand when bringing in an experienced EOS Implementer® can dramatically accelerate their journey toward Vision, Traction® & Healthy.

Like many business owners, she initially chose to self-implement EOS®, believing the team could learn & apply the tools themselves.While self-implementing EOS® created significant improvements, Niki explains that it also revealed its limitations. Leadership time that should have been focused on growing the business was instead spent facilitating sessions, learning the process & keeping everyone aligned.
Eventually, she realised that having an objective EOS Implementer® accelerated progress, challenged assumptions & allowed the leadership team to focus on leading rather than facilitating.
A major theme throughout the conversation is the power of The Accountability Chart®. Niki describes it as one of the most transformational EOS® tools because it creates clarity around roles, responsibilities & expectations. Rather than organising people around job titles, The Accountability Chart® helps leadership teams build the structure the business actually needs to achieve its vision.
The discussion also covers the impact of Level 10 Meeting®, the EOS Proven Process™ & why consistent execution is far more valuable than trying to customise or shortcut the system. Throughout the episode, Niki emphasises that EOS® is not simply a collection of business tools. It is a complete operating system that delivers the greatest results when followed as designed.

Who am I?
What do I stand for (or against)?
Where am I going?
What is my mission/purpose?

Leadership, culture and sustainability are defined by your answers to these questions. Life is a balance between your inner world and your outer world.
How you define yourself is one of the most important tasks you will ever undertake because this directs how you will interact with the world, with others, your family, friends and work colleagues.
As a leader, we create big ripples. We create ripples as much by how we are being as what we are doing. What legacy do you want to leave?
Do you want to be a net Giver or a net Taker?
This is how Liam introduces himself on his LinkedIn Profile. He has worked in over 35 countries in dozens of different settings from Africa to Australia, Asia to America, the Middle East to Europe....in mud huts and in corporate towers.
His mission is to show leaders how to be masters of their own destiny, and to pay that forward.By making organisations more human, they unlock performance, talent, value, and happiness. Be better, do better. Make your organisation more human. Make the world more sustainable.]]>2958falsefullSeverin Sorensen: AI Isn't Replacing You It's Making You More Valuablehttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/severin-sorensen-ai-isn-t-replacing-you-it-s-making-you-more-valuable--72844258 Ep 279 Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction 00:39 – Ethical AI and Personal Efficiency 04:53 – Becoming the AI Whisperer 10:29 – The Role of AI in Coaching and Business 15:29 – Ethical Considerations and the Future of AI 41:03 – Practical Applications and Efficiency in AI Use 53:44 – The Impact of AI on Business and Society 56:45 – Final Thoughts and Future Outlook]]>7c9b1261-1aa6-4bb5-a7cc-71aac6836f02Mon, 06 Jul 2026 18:30:00 +0000Debra Chantry TaylorIn this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor sits down with AI expert & “AI Whisperer” Severin Sorensen discuss about how AI isn't replacing you, but it's making you more valuable.Severin shares his remarkable journey from...

Along the way, he discovered that successful marketing is not just about creativity. It is about understanding people, tracking the right data & making decisions based on evidence rather than assumptions.
A key theme throughout the conversation is the danger of vanity metrics. Brendan explains why likes, clicks & impressions can create a false sense of success when they are not connected to real business outcomes. Instead, he advocates for tracking the full customer journey, including offline activity such as phone calls, direct mail campaigns & letterbox drops.
Debra & Brendan also explore the growing role of AI in marketing, including how it can improve efficiency, speed up content creation & support smarter decision-making, while still needing a clear plan behind it.
Listeners will learn why effective marketing requires consistency, patience & a structured approach. Brendan also shares practical insights into ROI reverse engineering, helping businesses understand the true value of a customer before deciding how much to invest in acquisition.

John explains why this approach creates significant risks and often prevents companies from achieving the productivity gains they expect.
Drawing on his experience as CEO of Bizukka and creator of the AI Strategy Canvas, John introduces the concept of the 10 Levels of AI Mastery, a framework designed to help organisations build AI capability in a structured and responsible way. Rather than jumping straight into advanced automation, he argues that businesses must first develop collective expertise, clear processes, and strong AI governance.
Throughout the conversation, John shares practical examples of how AI can dramatically improve efficiency when implemented correctly. One standout case study reveals how a CEO used AI to streamline complex RFP responses, reducing a three-week process to just three days and saving more than $70,000 in the process.
Debra and John also discuss the growing security concerns surrounding AI, including phishing attacks, autonomous agents, and the risks of employees using AI tools without proper oversight. John warns that poor AI adoption is not simply a technology problem. It is a leadership problem that requires education, accountability, and clear policies across the organisation.
The discussion covers how businesses can integrate AI into every department, the importance of upskilling employees, and why organisations that invest in training can unlock 10 to 12 hours of productive time per employee every week.
John also shares insights into advanced AI tools, practical implementation strategies, and the importance of balancing innovation with governance. He introduces his AI Impact Analysis tool and explains how businesses can assess their readiness for AI before making significant investments.
This episode is essential listening for business owners and leadership teams who want to harness the power of AI while avoiding the costly consequences of poor AI adoption, ensuring technology becomes a competitive advantage rather than a business risk.

Debra and Adam discuss the growing role AI can play in productivity, accountability, communication, and leadership support, while also acknowledging the risks and limitations that come with it.
Debra shares her personal experiences using tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, explaining how AI can dramatically improve efficiency when used properly. At the same time, she highlights the importance of human oversight, noting that AI still lacks the empathy, emotional intelligence, and human connection required for many leadership and people-focused roles.
Throughout the episode, Debra and Adam explore whether AI could ever replace EOS implementers, leadership teams, or integrators. While they believe AI will continue transforming workflows and automating repetitive tasks, they argue that trust, empathy, coaching, and difficult conversations still require human interaction.
The discussion also touches on the fears many employees and leaders have around AI replacing jobs. Debra emphasizes that AI should be viewed as a tool to augment people, not remove them, freeing teams from repetitive work so they can focus on higher-value thinking, creativity, and leadership.
Adam and Debra also discuss the importance of businesses integrating AI intentionally, rather than simply chasing trends. They highlight the need for training, communication, experimentation, and involving the whole organization in the AI journey to avoid resistance and confusion.
This episode is a thought-provoking conversation about the future of work, leadership, and EOS, and how businesses can thoughtfully integrate AI in a way that improves efficiency while still protecting the human connection that great businesses are built on.

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.

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.

"When I first got into entrepreneurship, I didn't know what I was doing. It's not like I went to school and learn how to run a business. And at the time, I found this business was in need of a turnaround situation, it was a $13 million office furniture dealership down in the southwest part of the United States. And it was just so much fun to dig into. And yet I could have done it better now that I know what I know, it would have been easier and faster. And so when I moved into the opportunity to buy in as third owner of a $15 million office furniture dealership, my two partners and I quickly realized that we really wanted to come together and figure out our vision for where we wanted to take the company.

It's a way of operating and running a business more effectively and efficiently so that you can get more out of the business and actually enjoy the business more."

Behaviours that worked in a smaller business can quickly become bottlenecks in a larger one. Without clear decision rights, role clarity, and true accountability, leadership teams struggle to scale effectively. She discusses the common challenge where visionaries struggle to let go, unintentionally blocking their integrator and leadership team from stepping up. Debra highlights the importance of productive tension in leadership meetings, clear accountability charts, and decision-making authority that moves down as the business grows.
The episode also explores the unique challenges faced by family-owned businesses, where family, ownership, and management roles can easily overlap and create emotional friction. Debra explains why separating these roles and clarifying decision rights is essential for healthy leadership dynamics and sustainable growth.
If your business has hit a ceiling, this episode offers practical insights on how evolving leadership behaviours, improving accountability, and embracing healthy tension can unlock the next stage of scale and create a better business and a better life.

It is about raising minimum standards, eliminating tolerated nonsense, and using time as a strategic tool. Drawing on Dr Benjamin Hardy’s book The Science of Scaling, Debra explains why reasonable goals protect the status quo while impossible goals force clarity, discipline, and structural change.
She challenges leaders to stop confusing effort with progress and to start designing businesses that no longer tolerate “zombie work” such as unnecessary meetings, reports, and projects that quietly drain energy and capacity. Through practical examples and sharp insights, Debra outlines how impossible goals with clear timelines create focus, expose inefficiencies, and demand better leadership.
If you want to scale without burning out your team or sacrificing quality, this episode will shift how you think about growth, standards, and execution.

From investing in 34 states to raising over 10 million dollars and helping more than 400 students pursue financial freedom, Keith credits much of his success to one thing: simple, clear, documented systems.
The conversation explores the critical role of Standard Operating Procedures in scaling a business, why clarity beats complexity, and how strong systems create both freedom and resilience.

Too many priorities, vague outcomes, “forever” initiatives, and reliance on external factors quietly erode confidence, trust, and momentum.
Debra unpacks what strong teams do differently. They limit priorities to three to seven clear, finishable goals per quarter. They write SMART priorities, protect focus time, assume interruptions will happen, and use weekly check-ins to realign rather than panic. She also tackles common leadership traps like founders changing direction mid-quarter, teams chasing perfection instead of progress, and the hidden cost of never finishing anything.
This episode is a practical reset for leadership teams who want fewer priorities, cleaner execution, and the confidence that comes from actually finishing what they start.

Drawing on hundreds of leadership sessions, Debra explains that priorities usually fail not...Drawing on hundreds of leadership sessions, Debra explains that priorities usually fail not because teams are lazy or uncommitted, but because the system is working against them. Too many priorities, vague outcomes, “forever” initiatives, and reliance on external factors quietly erode confidence, trust, and momentum.
Debra unpacks what strong teams do differently. They limit priorities to three to seven clear, finishable goals per quarter. They write SMART priorities, protect focus time, assume interruptions will happen, and use weekly check-ins to realign rather than panic. She also tackles common leadership traps like founders changing direction mid-quarter, teams chasing perfection instead of progress, and the hidden cost of never finishing anything.
This episode is a practical reset for leadership teams who want fewer priorities, cleaner execution, and the confidence that comes from actually finishing what they start.

He explains how strong teams, clear processes, and transparency create real business value and allow a business to operate without its founder at the centre. Drawing on his experience across VC-funded startups, acquisitions, and exits, David shares practical insights into building businesses that are genuinely exit-ready.
The conversation explores the role of EOS in reducing owner dependency, the importance of involving the leadership team in exit conversations, and why understanding valuation drivers early gives owners more choice and control. David also shares details of his upcoming webinar series designed to help business owners navigate exit planning with clarity and confidence.
This episode is essential listening for founders who want optionality, continuity, and a business that can thrive beyond them.

She explores the five key reasons January momentum collapses, including unrealistic expectations, goals built on optimism rather than truth, avoiding last year’s unresolved issues, mismatched team energy, and the habit of trying to do everything yourself.
Drawing on real client stories and lived experience, Debra reframes January as a warm up month rather than a sprint. She encourages leaders to start with honest conversations, prioritise fewer meaningful actions, reset team rhythms, and address family business tensions that often surface over the holidays.
This episode is a grounded reminder that momentum is not created through hype or hustle. It comes from clarity, honesty, and giving yourself permission to rebuild at a sustainable pace. If January has already felt heavy or disappointing, this conversation will help you reset without guilt and move forward with confidence.

So if you’re heading into the festive season exhausted, distracted, or secretly planning to “just check in,” this episode is your permission slip, and your plan, to truly rest.

She unpacks a confronting statistic from the Exit Planning Institute: 73% of business owners regret selling their business, largely because they failed to plan both the exit itself and what comes next.
Together, Debra and Kerry explore what it truly means to be exit-ready, from strong financials, systems, and succession planning, to reducing owner dependency and thinking deeply about purpose beyond the business. The conversation also dives into family business succession, the emotional realities of exiting, and why starting at least three years early can make all the difference.
This episode is a powerful reminder that exiting a business isn’t a single transaction, it’s a transition. And done well, it can set you up not just for financial security, but for a meaningful and intentional next chapter of life.

Through practical examples and relatable stories, Debra shows how to define true rocks (not boulders), write SMART goals, and block time to make meaningful progress. She also shares how integrating rocks into weekly meetings and scorecards keeps teams aligned and accountable.
Whether you’re a visionary constantly chasing new ideas or a leader buried in the day-to-day, this episode will help you refocus on what truly moves the business forward, fewer priorities, done better.

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."

I help them achieve greater results for their teams, their businesses and themselves.
How? By taking them from where they are to where they want to get to.
I do that not by answering their questions, but by questioning their questions. By being Frank and Fearless.
I ask tough questions and encourage my clients to say what they really think.
I create space to enable them to stop, pause and reflect. Out of that space comes clarity and real opportunities for growth.
I help my clients do incredible things. I help them understand that good and bad things happen.
Life goes on regardless.
What matters is your perspective and how you react to the shit that happens to you.
What you get out of life depends on how you navigate your way through it.

That led to the co-founding of my own agency, Follis&Verdi, which became one of the most awarded creative agencies in the country.
As the media and marketing landscape changed, so did my business. In '04, I created one of the first online consultancies, "Follis Marketing Therapy", which enabled business owners across the US to work with me directly on their marketing and creative issues.
In '06, I hosted and produced the first marketing podcast; "The Marketing Show with John Follis" which continued for 7 years.
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"

Working with clients in-person (locally & regionally) and virtually (worldwide), I help them stay focused on their vision, execute on the plan that leads to success, and provide accountability to ensure consistent progress. Everything is done with the express purpose of increasing revenues, boosting profit, creating team unity, and streamlining operations. In many instances, we work alongside EOS Implementers to help a client stay on track in between Quarterly Planning Sessions! Wondering if working with a Fractional Integrator is right for you and your team? Let's chat!
When I'm not busy helping visionary business owners transform their lives, I love working on (and driving!) classic automobiles & sports cars, traveling, bicycling and volunteering. I'm mechanically inclined, enjoy working with my hands, and love troubleshooting tangible and operational challenges.

With a focus on breast cancer, Noah has made significant discoveries that have already helped with other research and continue to move the needle on the survivor rate.
Kim's second book, Love Is, came from a desire to know the true meaning of love. Love Is, chronicles her year-long quest to discover the true meaning of love, a sometimes funny, sometimes scary, always enlightening journey that led to life-changing discoveries found mostly on the streets of Haiti.
Today, Kim lives in her hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA, a regular radio, television, and podcast guest, Kim speaks to audiences all over the world. Inspirational and educational, Kim entertains CEOs, industry leaders, company staff members, educators, parents, women's groups, and more.
With first-hand experience, Kim also speaks for The American Cancer Society and Susan G. Koman.
A coach is always a coach and Kim is no different. Working with individuals and teams, Kim helps people succeed not only in business and family life but in every aspect of life, leading to greater fulfillment and happiness while teaching the secrets to working less and playing more.
When she is not writing, broadcasting, coaching, speaking, or serving, Kim enjoys her life-long and newer friendships, hanging out with the grandkids, reading, playing tennis and pickleball, painting (she's no Bob Ross!), traveling, meeting new people, and an occasional stick of black licorice.

After six great weeks together, Kim held Steve as he took his last breath. Her first book, Cry Until You Laugh, chronicles that journey through...The back-to-back cancer diagnosis led her youngest son, Noah, to change his trajectory and earn a Ph.D. as a cancer researcher. With a focus on breast cancer, Noah has made significant discoveries that have already helped with other research and continue to move the needle on the survivor rate.
Kim's second book, Love Is, came from a desire to know the true meaning of love. Love Is, chronicles her year-long quest to discover the true meaning of love, a sometimes funny, sometimes scary, always enlightening journey that led to life-changing discoveries found mostly on the streets of Haiti.
Today, Kim lives in her hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA, a regular radio, television, and podcast guest, Kim speaks to audiences all over the world. Inspirational and educational, Kim entertains CEOs, industry leaders, company staff members, educators, parents, women's groups, and more.
With first-hand experience, Kim also speaks for The American Cancer Society and Susan G. Koman.
A coach is always a coach and Kim is no different. Working with individuals and teams, Kim helps people succeed not only in business and family life but in every aspect of life, leading to greater fulfillment and happiness while teaching the secrets to working less and playing more.
When she is not writing, broadcasting, coaching, speaking, or serving, Kim enjoys her life-long and newer friendships, hanging out with the grandkids, reading, playing tennis and pickleball, painting (she's no Bob Ross!), traveling, meeting new people, and an occasional stick of black licorice.

How can anybody be passionate about bookkeeping?
I know how to turn your underperforming business into a profit and cash making machine! I'm not passionate about what we do, but what it does for our clients! How it turns their lives around. Killing debt, taking home profits (not just paper profits). Upgrading holidays. Paying for School Fees. Not working for your employees or the ATO, but working because it pays you MORE than you could earn somewhere else.
Of course the big upshot of this is that you can spend LESS time at your business (if you want) AND when you are ready to sell (yes SELL) get much more than you ever dreamed. Dare to dream! Want a copy of my book? Unfunk your business Finances? https://bit.ly/UnfunkBook”

Where am I going?
What is my mission/purpose?

Leadership, culture and sustainability are defined by your answers to these questions. Life is a balance between your inner world and your outer world.

How you define yourself is one of the most important tasks you will ever undertake because this directs how you will interact with the world, with others, your family, friends and work colleagues.

As a leader, we create big ripples. We create ripples as much by how we are being as what we are doing. What legacy do you want to leave?

Do you want to be a net Giver or a net Taker?

This is how Liam introduces himself on his LinkedIn Profile. He has worked in over 35 countries in dozens of different settings from Africa to Australia, Asia to America, the Middle East to Europe....in mud huts and in corporate towers.

His mission is to show leaders how to be masters of their own destiny, and to pay that forward.

He is the founder & CEO of the Zone, which empowers people to integrate their head and their heart, unlock their whole person and unleash the collective intelligence of their organisations and teams.

By making organisations more human, they unlock performance, talent, value, and happiness. Be better, do better. Make your organisation more human. Make the world more sustainable.

In this podcast, we talk about the lessons he has learned from building his own company up to 600 staff & $30 million revenue as well as the lessons he has worked with some of the largest companies around the world.

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.

He started his business, Mode Group, about 13 years, but he only really stepped back into it about five years ago with no guarantees that it was going to work out but his most important driving factor was about creating something that was right for his family.
He blended coaching, performance management and consulting with his current skills and decided to take on some larger roles.
Five years later, they're now a multi-award-winning builder in Melbourne, they have a fantastic showroom and interior designers on staff.
He has the mantra of doing what you are passionate about & doing what you love with people you love - the EOS Life!
In this episode, Ryan discusses the balance he created between work and family. How he enjoys life, delegating and trusting his staff with all the responsibilities assigned to them and also the challenges they faced.
Top 3 tips:
1. We get caught up in the machine or chasing a snowball down a hill, or pushing one up a hill. But really, we do forget to stop and think about - is this where you want to be? Is this the lifestyle you want? Is that the vision that you've had? How much time you spend doing what you would like to do. We have the chance every day to do things that we love, don't wait for 5 10 years or a lifetime to look back and say that you should've changed things. Consider doing what you love, your passion.
2. Turn up every day when others don't. It's about consistently turning up, consistently evolving, challenging yourself, asking the market and consistently being better. And even if you are the best, you just need to keep showing up. Most people around the world, in all industries, want consistency, they want history, they want experience. They want to know where you've been and who you are.
3. Review where you're at and identify what you're good at. Think of the things that you wanted to do - those you were great at, what allowed you to sleep well at night. If you're taking on a risk, and you're not delivering to the level of quality that you want, then you're not going to feel good about it. Don't just be a hamster on the wheel saying yes to everyone - that's where burnout can be found. That's where stress, risk, loss and issues at home start. And all sorts of stuff can come from that level of productivity that doesn't give you the return on energy.

Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/betterbusiness-betterlife/message]]>2677falsefullEXPERT SPOTLIGHT: How to get up the pointy end with Greg Lipschitz – Episode 56 of Better Business, Better Life!https://www.spreaker.com/episode/expert-spotlight-how-to-get-up-the-pointy-end-with-greg-lipschitz-episode-56-of-better-business-better-life--50540606Greg has been a business owner for over 22 years and he is most proud of growing & maintaining a high performing team. He loves seeing his team succeed & completely trusts them, knowing that he can step out of the business and they will continue to strive & achieve amazing things. Earlier this year, he actually had to take 6 weeks off due to a broken collarbone & didn't have to do a thing. He could & did walk away knowing full well that everything would run exactly as it should.
In this episode, Greg shares insider tips & tricks to points hacking – being smart about where & how you spend your money to get some extra perks.
“We all work so damn hard as business owners and we sometimes forget about the things that we can take out of the business that might not be financial. It might just be being able to travel in style.”
So one of the things he’s focused on over the last 22 years is how he can points hack through business and get that extra value & additional benefits to enjoy life even more. And one of these benefits can be travelling up at the pointy end of the plane!
He shares the differences between points and status & how you can leverage both to your advantage. Not only that, you can use these points to reward amazing staff – for example, picking up their flight costs when they go on holiday.
Listen to the full episode to find out how you can change your spending habits to get you the biggest rewards. It may be something as simple as changing where you put petrol in your car!

Greg's top 3 tips:
1. Systems is definitely the biggest thing that will change your life
Let go and trust your staff. Enjoy business and have fun. If you feel that you're stressed out and you're not enjoying it, go and talk to someone about that, because that's a real problem. The enjoyment factor should be there.
2. Understand your cash flow
The way you use points hack your business can actually improve & streamline your cash flow as well, because you're doing things in a more systemised way. Don't buy irons and toasters with you points!
3. Spend your points
Collect all these points and actually go and use them. Don’t just sit on them! Have a lovely holiday, book up the pointy end & experience some of these first class trips out there. There's some amazing rewards that you can go & get. You’ll probably fly there maybe once or twice in your lifetime, but you're going to enjoy it. You've worked hard for it.

1. Pay attention to your insurance policy.
Even if it's just a bit boring, please just get those documents out, cast your eye over the schedules, look at it and think does that reflect what you want? Are the limits what you actually want? Do you have the insurance you need for the risks that your business has, and other business activities? Work alongside your broker and ask questions be curious about insurance. What does the exclusion mean? Work through your worst-case scenario and think. Have you transferred your risk appropriately to an insurance company and work with your broker alongside with that?
2. Be persistent. Don't give up.
You might hear a 'No', but think to yourself, 'Maybe, not yet - next year'
3. Be bold!
When you walk into a room, you should know your worth. Know your value, be confident!

Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/betterbusiness-betterlife/message]]>1852falsefullEXPERT 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,https://www.spreaker.com/episode/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--50384041Raised 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?

Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/betterbusiness-betterlife/message]]>2029falsefullWho are you selling to? And does it have a price? with Murray Phillips - Episode 53 of Better Business, Better Life!https://www.spreaker.com/episode/who-are-you-selling-to-and-does-it-have-a-price-with-murray-phillips-episode-53-of-better-business-better-life--50269450
Murray is also an author, his book ‘Starting a Business, Growing a Business’ was published in 2018.

What started as a fascination for maths and infinite numbers in school, eventually grew to be a passion, leading him down the career path of accounting. However, although he has an intimate knowledge of the numbers in the cycle of a business, he has an understanding that it’s not just about the figures. It’s about sustainability and good systems too.
In this episode, Murray talks about his latest business, "Cash Out Catalyst", which is all about helping people to prepare their business for sale, to ensure that they get the best value from it.
You can sell your business to different people & each has a different price. So, who are you selling to?
Your family? Your management?
Or are you selling on the open market?
And what are you selling? Because the business has to be about more than just you.
Murray shares how you can improve your business & get the best price for it.

Murray's Top 3 Tips
1. Challenge everyone about where’s the business going
Whether you are an Accountant or Lawyer or EOS Implementer – go away for a weekend and sit down. Challenge everyone about where’s the business going. You can’t be the single voice of the business, it has to be a team environment. If you don't bring the team into it, they're not going to buy your decisions going forward.
2. Start early
The day you start your business is the day you start to plan your exit. There are basically three buyers out there. Your family – who typically don't want to be in the business, but they're looking at the goodwill of their father or mother in taking the Passover. Your management or going to the market. You have to be ready, because if you’re not ready - you're a real estate transaction.
3. Have someone to come in as a mystery shopper
You want the mystery shopper for your administration area or your sales area, and then your production area. The mystery shopper can tell you where it's performing or not performing. So, you've got time to correct it. Because at the end of the day, what they see is what a buyer sees. You've always got to position yourself as not what you want to sell. It's what is the buyer wanting to buy?

Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/betterbusiness-betterlife/message]]>1888falsefullEXPERT SPOTLIGHT: Is your business ready for the EOS spotlight? with Alicia Butler Pierre - Episode 52 of Better Business, Better Life!https://www.spreaker.com/episode/expert-spotlight-is-your-business-ready-for-the-eos-spotlight-with-alicia-butler-pierre-episode-52-of-better-business-better-life--50190046With 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.

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?

With a background in chemical engineering, Alicia started off her career in...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.

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?

Enable Me has been around for the last 14-15 years and is the brainchild of Hannah McQueen, an amazing human who revolutionised the way Kiwis think about their finances. Jono shares how Hannah is a Visionary, with all the incredible ideas at rapid pace. He stepped in to run alongside her & help her with some of the heavy lifting, so that she could focus on what she is best at.
That's what really brought EOS to the front of his mind as a tool that could take Enable Me to that next level - being able to harness the absolute best of Hannah in an organised way. He shares how they started implementing with 15 people on their leadership team, and through EOS introducing more rigor and accountability to these roles, they now have a leadership team of 6.
Not only is Jono the CEO & Integrator, he is also a customer of Enable.Me.
"What sticks with me, as I went through my journey, was that I thought I was good with money. I was an accountant. But when you actually turn up the dial, what are you frittering away each week? And how could we be using that to get you ahead faster?
For people who've got family, how do we help them achieve the goals that they've got for their children and for the next generation?
We are ultimately trying to build out a personal or a family's cash surplus, that's the first stage of the journey. Then it's how do we put that surplus to work? How can it be multiplied by doing things in a certain way?"
Every person in New Zealand can use financial literacy and financial accountability to get ahead faster. Even those people who think they are good with money, Jono included, can benefit from a layer of accountability that Enable Me provides.
In his spare time, Jono is a National Rugby Referee, having also officiated Netball to the highest international level. Jono's biggest challenge is being the proud Dad of three kids 5 years old and under!

Jono's Top 3 Tips
1. Just because you've always done something a certain way, doesn't mean that it will always be the right way of doing things.
There are always ways you can change. There’re always ways to reimagine how you do something. It’s a little bit of a cliche, but if you do what you've always done, you will probably get what you've always got, or get less.
2. It’s always the people!
You really need to harness the collective abilities of your team, the backgrounds, the experience, that's hugely valuable when added into any organisation. Getting other people's views on the world will only add to the sum of the great parts.
3. Be accountable.
Having a goal without a plan is hopeless - you actually have to write it down and hold yourself accountable to it. People need to know their parts of the journey and what they're responsible for. And only when you have true accountability, with that comes the honesty, transparency, and all the rest of it, and the permission to have the hard conversations.

Then they were told by one of the big 4 accounting firms that they should stop spending so much time & money with their community & with their family & that their culture didn't differentiate them.
It was demoralising but also a big turning point for Wyndi & her husband Eli. Hear how they took this, what it prompted in them & have they now built this into a business across several countries with a strong purpose.
Wyndi is now one of my EOS clients. We connected on LinkedIn initially & just chewed the fat over a walk & talk. Then she contacted me later & said she has read the EOS books & wanted to talk to me & see if I could help them. She shares what EOS has done for their business & their family, how they went from 47 goals in a quarter down to 6 & how they manage to employ family in the business without any issues.
More about Wyndi:
On her mother's side, she is from Ati-Hau-Nui-A-Paparangi, on her dad's side, she is of NZ European descent from England and Greece. Born in Taranaki, in a small town called Waverley, she moved to West Auckland before she was one, which is where I call home.

After her first breast cancer diagnosis in 2017, she decided that she wanted to ensure she lived her best life and she wasn’t interested in dying with regret. So she's been living into her purpose, which is to better the statistics of Māori and Pacifica people. WE Accounting is one of the many vehicles she drives for doing just that.

"At WE, WE don’t just believe in a better future, WE are building it. Our Accounting Practice provides support, guidance and opens growth opportunities to small and medium-sized NZ businesses. WE know that SME’s are the backbone of the economy and when they thrive, so too do families, communities and our economy."

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.

Just 2 years ago, after trying to implement many other business systems, the family business decided to go with EOS & use a professional implementer to help them.
In that time they have survived & thrived throughout a pandemic & grown the business to 5x its revenue. However, it hasn't been without its challenges.
Find out why they chose to go with EOS, what it has done for the business & how they went from 5 family members on the leadership team down to just one but how they still all get along & love each other.
Their story is VERY inspiring & if you're a family business owner or part of a family business, you will take a lot from this episode.
Corey's Top 3 Tips
1. Find a system or create one

2. Stop playing store
You've got to lean into the hard stuff to get the results!
3. Get or ask for help!

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.

Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/betterbusiness-betterlife/message]]>1602falsefullIgnore everything but the bottleneck with Ken Brickley - Episode 12, Season 3 of Better Business, Better Life!https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ignore-everything-but-the-bottleneck-with-ken-brickley-episode-12-season-3-of-better-business-better-life--47907047In 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.

"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.

Working extensively in media then following her passion for coaching, she discovered EOS and fell in love.
In this episode she shares her favourite tools and case studies of how EOS has transformed the businesses & leadership teams she's worked with.
People, especially entrepreneurs, tend to over-complicate things, making it harder than it needs to be. Find out how you can simplify to optimise, isolate & delegate what you don't love to do and have the right people in the right seat - including yourself!
"Get great energy that's derived from the things that you like and love to do. You're focused on your strengths & talents, and you're able to focus in the business where you want to add the most value. And so you get to live the EOS life. Part of the joy for me is helping you see beyond the business results. What kind of life do you want to live?"
Looking to figure out what your definition of EOS life is or how you can live it? Don't miss the full episode!

Shelley's Top 3 Tips
1. To think is to create
The lesson that I've learned is, thoughts are things. I want my input to be positive and the things that I think about to be positive, so that I create and manifest the things that I want in business. To think is to create so be careful what you think about. In the EOS process for sure, be careful what you ask for because you will get it using this process.
2. When intention is clear & I take action = 100% results
I found when my intention is clear, when I know what I want whether it's in business or in my personal life, the mechanism will show up. The mechanism will appear when I am clear. So put out there into the universe what I want. Setting that intention, then taking action and mobilising energy towards that intention equals 100% result. Because the way that I will get there may change a million times, but when I'm clear, I usually get that thing that I want.
3. Read The EOS Life book
If you haven't read The EOS Life book, read it. For me and for my clients, my wish is that we all can live our best EOS life. Get the things that we want from our businesses, but also get the things that we want in our personal lives and have that balance, however we define it. I wish for all of you to live your best EOS life.

After leaving day-to-day operations to start her coaching practice, she was surprised at her own resilience and resourcefulness. She shares how she overcame imposter syndrome and the ups & downs of a founder's journey.
An expert at human connection in the workplace, she also shares tried and true advice on creating a curious & empathetic workplace culture. Find out if you're inadvertently rewarding behaviour that's harming your company and how to lead in the Fourth Imagination Age.

Mel's Top 3 Tips
1. Hire for culture add, not just culture fit
You need to be very careful with your hiring. Don't just hire for culture fit, because then you can get a whole lot of people who are all the same, but hiring for culture add and trying to get that diversity. People who share those same values as the organisation who really dig the things that the organisation digs, but who don't all look the same. So that's the most important thing in hiring, and not being scared to hire people smarter than you.
2. Onboard new employees carefully
People would come into Vend with very different stories and different experiences of how to work in an organisation, especially as it was growing. We were at maybe 150 people plus. So we were kind of larger, but we acted very differently to other organisations of a similar size. We had a really intensive two week onboarding process, where people would learn about the organisation, learn about how we did things, make friends, learn about the entire ecosystem, about customers & the customer perspective. It was a real hard and fast introduction to everything to do with Vend. So we didn't leave them to get this idea of what it was like to work at Vend through osmosis. We managed that really, really carefully.
3. Develop your leadership team
Leadership is so important. So that's why I think development in startups are so important because when you have your founding team, and especially if you are being driven by investment, so you've grown really quickly, it's a race to try and develop your founding team to the same velocity as the organisation is developing. So for example, let's say your Chief Revenue Officer or Chief Marketing Officer or whatever, comes on board when you are at 30 people. Then you grow to be 250 people, in multiple markets and in multiple countries, and this person all of a sudden, has a much bigger remit, a much bigger team, having to think much more strategically and deal with large, multi-national partners. The stakes are considerably higher. Yet this person has grown with you and they might be a really great cultural fit. However, there's a real risk that they're not going to be able to grow fast enough to be able to do the job competently, when the organisation is much bigger. If you bring in someone from the outside, then you have all the risks of, are they going to be a good culture fit? What dynamics are they going to bring into the leadership team? Or you've got, can I grow this person so that they can do this role competently? With mentorship, coaching, training, education, etc.

If you bring in someone from the outside, then you have all the risks of, are they going to be a good culture fit? What dynamics are they going to bring into the leadership team? Or you've got, can I grow this person so that they can do this role competently? With mentorship, coaching, training, education, etc.

Send in a voice message: 2158falsefullDo you have time to do what you love? with Danny Mishek - Episode 8, Season 3 of Better Business, Better Life!https://www.spreaker.com/episode/do-you-have-time-to-do-what-you-love-with-danny-mishek-episode-8-season-3-of-better-business-better-life--47487244In 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.

He stresses the importance of having difficult conversations - avoiding them is a disservice to everyone involved. Despite the discomfort, disagreement and uncertainty then creates opportunity.
His mission is to create the space to have the right conversations, at the right time, with the right people. Having worked with 25 businesses to implement EOS, he also tells us his favourite EOS tools and how they’ve transformed his clients.
Find out how leaning into being frank and fearless has taken him to incredible and challenging new heights, both figuratively and literally!

Adam's Top 3 Tips
1. Clarity creates confidence
Human nature dictates that we, our bodies and our minds will take the path of least resistance. We're fundamentally lazy. So if people, the business owner, the members of the organisation, the stakeholders - when people don't have clarity, their minds start wandering and they start going off into tangents, creating however many God knows different stories. So when you're able to give people clarity, it actually means that you put their mind at rest. So where are we heading as an organisation, where and what is it that I want right now, communicate it through. People then become self-assured. It goes back to Maslow's hierarchy of needs. I feel safe and if I feel safe, then I can do what's definitely needed.
2. Create an environment where you're being challenged
I believe that we all need to be challenged. It's actually about having our questions questioned, not necessarily our questions answered. The tool for that is going to be different for each individual. So some people may get that from listening to podcasts, reading or listening to books. Some people it may well be one-on-one coaching, it might be mentoring, mastermind groups or EOS. Where and what is it within your professional and personal life that you are being challenged? It may be the case that actually you outgrow the intervention that you've got. You need to be walking away thinking that's a really good question. So it's topping any of the challenge that you're doing from an internal perspective. When you get to that stage, you're now working on self-limiting beliefs, on self actualisation. You're in a different growth area to being in the comfort zone.
3. If it's not working in the boardroom, it's not working in the bedroom
Life is life. Anything that is impacting you from a personal perspective is naturally going to be impacting you from a professional perspective, and vice versa. Have the awareness of that and ensure that you are dealing with what you need to deal with. As a leader or business owner, you have to work out and decide what sort of leader you want to be, but there needs to be a level of humility in the fact that if somebody is not performing, what is going on in their life which is meaning that they're not performing? If you're a humble leader and you're building relationships and rapport, how you support people when they're going through the bad times will actually mean that you will have far greater times. So I think there's an aspect of humility - humanise to professionalise.

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.

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.

In this episode, John discusses how to build trust and communicate your value, no matter what business you’re in. He shares how he hasn’t always been comfortable speaking in front of an audience or a camera lens. Through practise and his love for drama, he overcame his stutter and achieved his childhood dream of being on the radio, making history with his father on New Zealand’s first father-son commercial radio show.
John’s passion is to get the best out of people; increasing their confidence and providing simple tips so they can go from good to great. He loves seeing that aha moment when his clients feel confident in themselves and the future of their business. Discover how John’s experiences and presentation tips can help you and your business.

John's Top 3 Tips
1. Start.
I hear everybody say, 'I think I'll be ready next month.' We all procrastinate. Get out your mobile phone, record a video of yourself and post it on LinkedIn. Just do it.
2. People buy us first. So if you're doing business videos, you can still share personal information about yourselves.
I think the natural default for people is they want to educate and show the value. That's true, we need to do that. But my favourite video was 'Tell me three things about you that your audience doesn't know.' It's just sheer personal stuff. It's about being relatable and having a deeper connection with fellow human beings, not just selling stuff.
3. Less is more.
My biggest lesson from my radio days and I apply it to video. Most people when they go out to do a video, there's so many things to get ready. You've got to have the lighting and the camera and the mics, you've got the hair and makeup and then you've got to set up all the equipment. So they want to get their values worth. They mention 10 things rather than one and then the video doesn't work. You need to talk about one thing and finish. Then do another nine videos on the other nine things.

He helps elevate your online presence through coaching, podcast training and filming workshops - making your videos memorable and effective while remaining authentically you. In this...In this digital era, more business owners are interested in online content - but what should you actually talk about?
In this episode, John discusses how to build trust and communicate your value, no matter what business you’re in. He shares how he hasn’t always been comfortable speaking in front of an audience or a camera lens. Through practise and his love for drama, he overcame his stutter and achieved his childhood dream of being on the radio, making history with his father on New Zealand’s first father-son commercial radio show.
John’s passion is to get the best out of people; increasing their confidence and providing simple tips so they can go from good to great. He loves seeing that aha moment when his clients feel confident in themselves and the future of their business. Discover how John’s experiences and presentation tips can help you and your business.

John's Top 3 Tips
1. Start.
I hear everybody say, 'I think I'll be ready next month.' We all procrastinate. Get out your mobile phone, record a video of yourself and post it on LinkedIn. Just do it.
2. People buy us first. So if you're doing business videos, you can still share personal information about yourselves.
I think the natural default for people is they want to educate and show the value. That's true, we need to do that. But my favourite video was 'Tell me three things about you that your audience doesn't know.' It's just sheer personal stuff. It's about being relatable and having a deeper connection with fellow human beings, not just selling stuff.
3. Less is more.
My biggest lesson from my radio days and I apply it to video. Most people when they go out to do a video, there's so many things to get ready. You've got to have the lighting and the camera and the mics, you've got the hair and makeup and then you've got to set up all the equipment. So they want to get their values worth. They mention 10 things rather than one and then the video doesn't work. You need to talk about one thing and finish. Then do another nine videos on the other nine things.

But it is! with Sam Stubbs - Episode 2, Season 3 of Better Business, Better Life!https://www.spreaker.com/episode/it-s-not-about-the-money-but-it-is-with-sam-stubbs-episode-2-season-3-of-better-business-better-life--46818534
He set up Simplicity with the aim to disrupt the KiwiSaver model, in the midst of a midlife crisis.

What is Simplicity and what is its mission and vision?

‘We're a nonprofit fund manager. If you're overseas you might have heard of Vanguard… the vanguard of New Zealand… wouldn't be too far wrong. Our main aim is to give people dignity in retirement and how we do that is we give them choices. People who have choices in life have dignity.
We run as a nonprofit fund manager, which charges the lowest fees and making people richer. Simplicity is a charity, a social enterprise, a nonprofit, a whole lot of things! We give 15% of the fees we do earn to charity.
We've been running for almost five years now and we manage about $3 billion on behalf of over 60,000 members, in total we're giving away about $100,000 a month to charity, and making extremely good returns.’

In this podcast, Sam talks about the journey from Westie to Corporate & back to fighting for the people.

Simplicity was an idea developed by four guys at a pub with a piece of paper.

Sam shares how he got the right people into the business & some of the challenges along the way.

Why the title of the Podcast? Sam shares that he didn't start Kiwisver to make money - rather help other people have dignity in retirement, however, he also shares how cash flow really is king in building a business & how you should treat every last dollar as if it were your own.

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:

The company has around 30 virtual assistants & Virtual Business Managers, based all around New Zealand.
She came across EOS a few years ago & tried to self-implement. I'll let her tell you why it didn't work, however, she came to me back in March 2020, just before the lockdown in New Zealand hit.
We were excited that I could help her to implement it into her business. However, once lockdown was announced, she came to me & said she wanted to pause.
We had a discussion and fortunately, she decided that there probably wasn't a better time to be starting - given all the uncertainty that comes with a global pandemic.
16 months later & Justine & her new Leadership team have smashed all their goals & are continuing to achieve their rocks each quarter.
In a time when many businesses are struggling, the Your VA Leadership Team has Clarity, they have Simplified their business & they are achieving their Vision.
And most importantly, Justine is back doing what she loves & takes her weekends off, without feeling even a little bit guilty.

She has just recently written a. book called Growth Junkies Unite – A Simple Guide to Invigorate your Journey.
In this episode, she shares with us what being a growth junkie really is & how she has created a multi-faceted career, as co-owner of the business, a Professional EOS Coach & Business Coach, a published Author & a peer-group facilitator, as well as enjoying a full life outside of business.
After implementing EOS to help them run their business 5 years ago and seeing tremendous success, Emily launched her EOS coaching practice to help other entrepreneurs and leadership teams get more of what they want from their business.
She describes herself as the poster girl for EOS as she has run a business without EOS & with EOS. And she wishes she had found it earlier.
"When I first got into entrepreneurship, I didn't know what I was doing. It's not like I went to school and learn how to run a business. And at the time, I found this business was in need of a turnaround situation, it was a $13 million office furniture dealership down in the southwest part of the United States. And it was just so much fun to dig into. And yet I could have done it better now that I know what I know, it would have been easier and faster. And so when I moved into the opportunity to buy in as third owner of a $15 million office furniture dealership, my two partners and I quickly realized that we really wanted to come together and figure out our vision for where we wanted to take the company. And so luckily, at that time, I was a part of a peer group. And in that group, I heard about EOS, which is the entrepreneurial operating system. It's a way of operating and running a business more effectively and efficiently so that you can get more out of the business and actually enjoy the business more."

Daniel's passion to help others is evident in this podcast - you don't want to miss this episode!

Daniel's EOS Life
When I read the book Traction by Gino Wickman, I loved it so much that I made it my mission to bring EOS® to Australia.

EOS, the Entrepreneurial Operating System®, is widely used in the USA and Europe by tens of thousands of companies, and we want to see as many companies as possible enjoying the benefit of the EOS tools across Australia and beyond.

Since 2017 the team at EOS Worldwide has entrusted me with the honour of representing and expanding the EOS brand here in Australia and New Zealand, and the wider Asia Pacific Region, where we are building a thriving community of entrepreneurs who are running their businesses using the EOS Process, Model, and Tools. As the regional Community Leader, I train and prepare EOS Implementers for a successful journey to EOS Mastery.

At EOS Worldwide, we are devoted to finding, training and supporting like-minded entrepreneurs who want to become master EOS Implementers and live the "EOS Life":

- Doing what you love to do
- Growing with people you enjoy
- Making a significant difference
- Being compensated appropriately
- With time to pursue other passions

Daniel's EOS Life
When I read the book Traction by Gino Wickman, I loved it so much that I made it my mission to bring EOS® to Australia.

EOS, the Entrepreneurial Operating System®, is widely used in the USA and Europe by tens of thousands of companies, and we want to see as many companies as possible enjoying the benefit of the EOS tools across Australia and beyond.

Since 2017 the team at EOS Worldwide has entrusted me with the honour of representing and expanding the EOS brand here in Australia and New Zealand, and the wider Asia Pacific Region, where we are building a thriving community of entrepreneurs who are running their businesses using the EOS Process, Model, and Tools. As the regional Community Leader, I train and prepare EOS Implementers for a successful journey to EOS Mastery.

At EOS Worldwide, we are devoted to finding, training and supporting like-minded entrepreneurs who want to become master EOS Implementers and live the "EOS Life":

- Doing what you love to do
- Growing with people you enjoy
- Making a significant difference
- Being compensated appropriately
- With time to pursue other passions

They have been in the Deloitte fast 500 for 7 years in a row, so he knows how to grow a business. But as he says, "Success is not Revenue alone".
In this podcast he shares his journey from moving from the UK to NZ with no contacts & no networks & starting a small company, to where he has got to today.
Richard is also a published author, of the best selling book - "How to Get to the Top of Google Search" with Penguin Books & as a successful entrepreneur he happily shares his journey, his learnings & supports many others on their Entrepreneurial journey through talking at events, being an active member of EO & just generally always looking at how he can help people.
Richard also shares his 3 top tips for Business Owners & Entrpreneurs.
I met Richard whilst working at Tower Insurance (my final stint in a Corporate environment). It was whilst he was distracted, as Entrepreneurs often are, by running multiple businesses. He had this idea about an online insurance comparison site & I just happened to be the Manager of Marketing at Tower Insurance.

I am so grateful for that meeting because Richard & I became friends & he introduced me to The Icehouse (where I worked as a coach & mentor for 7 years) & to EO New Zealand (Entrepreneurs'
Organization) (where I found a new support family & made more great friends).

Those things changed my life & led me to launching The Common & meeting Daniel & Francesca from EOS Worldwide, when they launched into NZ using my event centre. From there I became a professional EOS Implementer & that too has changed my life.

Thank you Richard. From such a seemingly boring meeting about insurance to a lifetime friend that changed my life. And thanks for always openly sharing & helping people 💖

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?

Each with (or under pressure from Dave to have), triple bottom line reporting.
Most have won environmental (such as SBN) and business (such as Westpac) awards. Philanthropic focus saw Dave’s attention move to charity and supporting startups, particularly those that improved environmental outcomes, which is where his current journey with the other co-founders of CarbonClick began.
Dave was a founding trustee of Sea Cleaners Trust, but has since channeled all his focus into CarbonClick. When Dave handed over the reins at SeaCleaners, they had removed over 200 shipping containers worth of plastics from NZ's marine environment. A testament to his values of just doing it rather than talking about doing.
Dave sees the struggles people have, when they aren’t connected to the environment around them, and his concern is that the disconnect is becoming stronger as we are left with less of it every day.
The very environment that supports every one of us. Dave is on a mission to restore these opportunities, through supporting projects that have strong biodiversity and social outcomes, and sharing these stories with individuals, encouraging them to reconnect. This is why he is so passionate about CarbonClick’s potential in this world.

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.

“Simply put, they help organisations buy and sell complex, expensive and risky stuff!”
Warner was a late bloomer as an Entrepreneur - spending his early years in the air force, in corporate life (such as Downer and Metronet rail ) and travelling the world.
What he has learned is that all of this experience helps when it comes to scaling a business so it's a myth that you have to be young to start your own business. His business is thriving, even with Covid, and his team won 2 significant awards last year.
We took a deep dive into how these roles have enabled his topic of Happy Wife, Happy Life or more specifically how he creates space for his personal and family life, as Warner is the first to admit that he may not always have been a role model husband but he did say, "thinking of some great things we have done, are generally born out of things that have gone wrong."
In this episode we cover:

Creating space for your personal and professional life, even when they intrinsically entwined
Having boundaries, even when your work is your passion
Learning to Let Go by surrounding yourself with the right people, systems and processes
Making time for your loved ones
3 top tips for creating ' Happy Wife, Happy Life'

Happy wife, happy life

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.
We share tools & tips so that you can understand how to break through the ceiling, create more profit, remove the people issues, manage stress & overwhelm, learn to let go, live healthier & happier & have the freedom to do what you love, including spending more time with your loved ones & pursuing outside passions.
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 guests have also experienced the highs & lows of business & we want to share those learnings with you to help you avoid some of the common mistakes.
We also want to have some fun with it, because life is too bloody short!
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!
