Intentional living – this is about being truly intentional about how you live your life, what you bring into your life, how you spend your time and finances.
Playing to your strengths – it’s about doing what you do best, getting in your flow, sharing along the way and delating and outsourcing everything else.

The 5 Steps to Hiring Your Virtual Assistant (VA) ... And The Mistakes We Made Along The Way

Tue, 25 Aug 2020 23:00:00 -0000

Catherine shares great advice about hiring your Virtual Assistant and as someone who has extensive experience and expertise in the arena of Virtual Assistants shares some key steps that can be followed to make sure you hire a VA that will have a positive impact on your business and immediately increase business productivity.

Getting it right is key when taking on a VA and Catherine has created a range of resources available in the VIVA club, where you can also find great VA’s who want to get started in your business making a difference now.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Improve your business to-do list – know what are you currently doing, what do you should be doing, and what you want to do so you can prioritise.
Categorise tasks as ‘do’- high value, ‘manage’ – can be done by someone else with management oversight and ‘leverage’ – low-value tasks that can be outsourced to others.
Creating the job description and advert - Creating a detailed job description means your virtual assistant can get straight to work increasing your business productivity.
You need to be really clear about the role you have and the skills needed.
Systemising for applications – you need to systemise as much as possible. Using tools such as google suite and skype will create a system you can use easily – all available in the viva club.
Creating job offer and contract – a starting VA working full time can cost as little as £150 a month. You can hire a VA for a particular project or for ongoing tasks within your business.
Reaping the rewards ongoing support and management – reports are a vital part of managing VA’s you need to know what’s going on and can offer support if required.
Virtual Assistants make our businesses work and we couldn’t do it without them.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Hire by role, It helped us to get the right person’

‘I can task things at the end of the day and find them completed and in my inbox the following morning’

From £50 to Thriving Ebay & Etsy Business - Interview with eCommerce Business Owner Emma Dee

Tue, 18 Aug 2020 23:00:00 -0000

Catherine revisits one of the most downloaded episodes from the last 2 years with guest Emma Dalton who created the freedom she wanted by moving from the corporate world and creating a successful eCommerce business.

Emma discusses the turning point and what it actually takes to get started with no money and create the type of business you want.

They discuss finding your passion and why all the knowledge and experience you have previously has value and can be transferred to new ventures.

There are always numbers that you have to know and it’s vital that even as a small business you plan as if you are a big business so the right systems and processes are in place, making it easier to successfully grow. This is a great insight with lots of advice on how to get started in business and design the life you want.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

I didn’t have the money to set up a business but I did have an overriding belief that everything will work out if you work hard enough.
The essential numbers are turnover and profit margin growth month on month.
The fundamentals are - what profit am I making now and is it growing month on month?
I started with around £50 and I focus on sourcing women’s unique fashion pieces through charity shops, online and car boot sales.
If you want to get started, declutter your own wardrobe and treat it as a business. Use it as a learning opportunity to find out about the photography, whether you want to use the auctions or buy it now to sell and to gain experience of the whole selling process.
My business moved to the next level when I took a conscious decision to review and put in place the right processes.
I’ve leveraged my eBay business activity down to 3 days and increased my income by 3x through processes.
Even if you are a small business plan as if you are a big business. if you have the right processes in place at the start it makes it much easier as you grow.
Blocking time and being very structured about how I use my time has been the key to be able to use my time efficiently.
The hardest part of business is saying ‘no’
As an entrepreneur you know you are on a journey and moving ahead but it’s not always possible to see the destination all the time.
I’ve always wanted a flexible living life and I want to have integrity in what I do.
Find the thing the brings you joy; design the life you want and be honest about what you want.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Through effective leveraging when I have downtime for me it’s all for me’

I’ve become much more aware of my values since being self-employed.

‘You can just start and you don’t buy any new stock until what you have is sold so there is no new money involved’

What You Love(Are Good at) Can be Paid For And What The World Needs!

Tue, 11 Aug 2020 23:00:00 -0000

Cast your mind back to Episode #033 of Leveraged Lifestyle; Catherine explains how finding your Ikigai is an important part of leveraging your lifestyle.

Catherine has been reflecting on this episode and the content around IKIGAI! Specifically she wanted to preface it and revisit, to open a discussion with you the listeners (so make sure you get in touch and let Catherine know your thoughts and comments)

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Ikigai, the 4 concentric circles

The first circle is what you love, the second circle is what the world needs, the third circle is what you can be paid for and the fourth circle what you are good at.

Overlapping these are passion, mission, profession and vocation. In the centre of the circles is Ikigai.

Ikigai

The Japanese believe that everyone has an Ikigai and it is the reason we want to jump out of bed in the morning.

There is no secret formula for finding happiness but there is one key ingredient the ability to reach a state of flow and through that state to have the optimal experience to find the Ikigai.

Finding your flow

Challenging tasks

Completing tasks that are just out of your comfort zone.

If tasks are too easy it can lead to apathy. if the task is too hard you may give up

If it’s just challenging enough that’s where we find our flow.

A clear objective

Once the journey has begun its important to keep an overview of the objective but it’s key to focus on the flow.

When you have a clearly defined objective and focus on the process that’s when you find your flow.

Concentrate on a single task

Be in a distraction-free environment. You will feel calmer and have better power of retention and you will be able to achieve flow.

When we are multi-tasking productivity is less and we are more likely to make mistakes and feel stressed.

Advantages of finding your flow

Your mind will be focused on the current task. It enables you to live in the present feel in control. Your mind will become clear and able to deal better with challenges.

Which activities in your life make you enter flow?

What do these activities that drive you to flow have in common?

Why do the activities drive you to flow?

When you can answer these questions, you will be able to find your Ikigai

BEST MOMENTS

‘The more you are in flow the closer you are to your Ikigai’

‘Finding that mix of passion, mission, profession’

‘More than just systems and processes, Its everything you want to create’

‘Feel like there is nothing more important than the single task you have chosen to complete’

‘Starting with a ritual and end with a reward’

‘Tasks that stretch our skills’

Tue, 04 Aug 2020 23:00:00 -0000

Catherine looks at the ways we all compare ourselves to others - both personally and in business. It’s a part of being human but how can you use it to your advantage?

This is a great opportunity to reflect on how comparing yourself to others can be a productive process if you understand how you can learn and benefit from the comparison and move yourself and your business forward on your journey to achieve the lifestyle you want.

Everyone has their own journey and every journey is different. You can’t know all the challenges others have faced and overcome.
It’s important to realise it’s all a part of the process, the journey.
Don’t try and do everything ask yourself what will give you the best return on your investment of time and effort?
What is going to give you the lifestyle you want?
Focus your energy on the area where you are going to get the best return on your investment
Use others success as motivation, inspiration and to help you learn.
Success leaves clues, look at the journeys other have taken to success what can you learn that will help you?
We are all still growing and learning all the time.
Persevere with what you are trying to achieve.

BEST MOMENTS

£6M Property Portfolio Before 30 + £2000 Gift Giveaway - 2nd anniversary special interview with Jackie Tomes

Tue, 28 Jul 2020 23:00:00 -0000

This episode marks the second year anniversary of the Leveraged Lifestyle podcast and Catherine has some great birthday giveaways for listeners along with one of the most popular guests from the previous 100 plus episodes – Jackie Tomes, Property Strategist.

Jackie built a portfolio worth over 6 million in just over 6 years and achieved all of this before she reached her thirtieth birthday. Jackie has extensive knowledge and expertise in the property sector and shares some great advice on what makes a difference when you are starting out in property and how to move successfully through the levels of business.

Jackie wants renting to be better than buying and with a value-driven company she is building new and better ways of doing things and inspiring others.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We have built a business that we can remove ourselves from because our vision at the start was about being able to travel.
We help others build great property businesses that are systemised and have the right processes in place.
It’s about achieving a balance that works for you and if your business is set up in the right way you can be away from it.
A leveraged lifestyle is about both mindset and skillset coming together successfully.
You have to double up on work to be able to get to a point where you can work less.
It’s important that you are able to work smart as well as working hard.
How you set up working with your remote team and using technology effectively is key.
When people start in property they often spread themselves across several different strategies but you should have a specific focus.
Simplify and focus so that you are able to successfully go through the different stages of business as you grow.
When you don’t have any money, you focus on getting money for yourself and that’s not the right approach when working with investors.
It’s about asking what value can I give? What can I offer my client?

BEST MOMENTS

‘The quality of our team who are all behind a shared vision is quite magical’

‘It’s all about having a combination of processes, systems and brilliant people in the right roles for them’

‘If you rent there is amazing flexibility’

“I’m on a path to try and live a life I love and am proud of’

5 Ways Clear Your Mind & Reset

Tue, 21 Jul 2020 23:00:00 -0000

Catherine reflects on how, as an entrepreneur, it can be easy to always be thinking about your business and your family but never yourself. She shares some practical advice that can be implemented to help anyone to take a pause and clear their head.

Taking action for yourself can be a challenge but clearing your head and enjoying some time exclusively for you will ultimately help both you and your business to perform better.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Get outside, enjoy nature and be present in the moment.
Get out and move, our bodies are made to move so any kind of movement is a positive whether its active or relaxation.
Meditate to find your inner calm, it’s an opportunity to be still, stop being busy and clear your thoughts.
Listen to music, create a playlist and enjoy your favourite songs to help you clear your head.
Spend time with family and friends and fill up your levels well-being and positivity.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Make it about being in the moment’

5 Ways to Achieve More - Get Results By Setting Hard Deadlines

Tue, 14 Jul 2020 23:00:00 -0000

Welcome back to Leveraged Lifestyle’s “Break without a break” where we look back at some of the most impactful episodes of the podcast from the very beginning!

In this episode, Catherine takes you through the importance of setting deadlines and gives you five ways to help you set hard and fast deadlines so that you can really get done what you need to, whether that's in business, in your personal life or in work. Hop in to learn about this and much more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Five ways that you can set hard and fast deadlines.

Number one is to get a version one out there right now. Don't over-think it. Don't just think I will do it by the end of the week or I’ll do it tomorrow, if you've got some content in you maybe it could be a Facebook Live, a podcast episode, maybe a blog that you've been thinking about for ages, get it written, get it recorded, get your camera out, get your phone out whatever it might be, and just do it right now.

Number two is to book something as a reward for getting the thing done. Something really nice, like a holiday, maybe travelling for a few weeks, it could be getting yourself a new piece of equipment, a nice iPad or Mac or something like that, a new phone, something that might also help within the business.
Number three is set a day and then get accountable make it public. Let people know that you've got something coming whether that's a new product for your online store whether that's getting your online store set up whether that's on Amazon or Shopify.

Number four. How about rather than setting a pleasure award we set up something that's going to cause some pain. One of the ways one of my business mentors do this is when he's writing a book he will set a date and then pay for people to come in to proofread the final draft of the book.

Number five is having something in place that can't be moved. Maybe an event date that's out there already booked the venue, maybe it's a book launch and you've got the launch date all set and it's all set up on Amazon. Maybe it's the launch of your products.

BEST MOMENTS

“There is no better time than now to get something out there.”
“When you do something nice, reward yourself.”
“Have something in place that cannot now be moved because you just put too much into it.”
“There is no better time than now to start creating your leverage lifestyle.”

From £300 To £70 Million - Building The Largest Independent UK Baby Business - Neville Wright, Founder Of Kiddicare

Tue, 07 Jul 2020 23:00:00 -0000

Neville Wright, Founder of Kiddicare is the entrepreneur who started with £300 and built the largest independent UK baby business. A business which when it sold achieved a record-breaking figure.

Neville talks about his journey and discusses why his business was different. As Neville built the company he placed a hugely high value on training and staff always knowing more than the customer about the products and he never lost a sale to the internet.

As many retailers struggle to deliver what the customer wants from a face to face retail experience Neville shares a masterclass in exactly what it takes to be the retailer who is pushing positive boundaries and making the difference that means people keep coming back.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We pushed the boundaries and were disruptive in our area of business.
When you have entrepreneurial skills, your ambition will mean you have to employ people to maintain and grow your business and you then need to ensure your business can support those people.
If you employ people with the same mindset and bring them on the journey with you then it’s possible to grow successfully.
Play to your strengths and know when to bring in other people
Start with the little things because it’s these that make the difference. Success is the thousand little things around you.
Each manager in our business knew exactly what the systems were and every staff member only had one boss, one line manager.
The system could be changed quickly if we came up with something better it was flexible enough to be constantly evolving.
Business and life is about persevering and overcoming the challenges
It’s a process of business that there are challenges and things have to be got through by finding successful solutions.
You have to have people around you who you can help and can help you. the people you surround yourself with have to be those who can pull you up.
When you are in a business and you want to grow it, you focus on it.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You should never have a customer in front of you who knows more about the product than you do’

‘You should marry your customer – do your very best to always to keep your customer’

‘I take training very seriously and we never lost a sale to the internet’

Leveraged Lifestyle Podcast 100th Episode - Freedom, Creativity, Choice & Opportunity, Finding the Ultimate Leveraged Lifestyle

Tue, 02 Jun 2020 23:00:00 -0000

In this 100th celebration episode, Catherine is in the guest seat as she discusses her journey and the evolution of the podcast with Kelly Lemon.

They discuss what having a leveraged lifestyle really is and how there is a shared view on achieving freedom, choice, flexibility and opportunities but how this looks and what it is will be different for every individual.

People often think that leveraging is just about outsourcing but it is so much more and can be part of your lifestyle if you truly understand it’s about time, knowledge, experience and people and a mindset about achieving the control to live the life you want to, spending your time doing the things you want to do.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Having a leveraged lifestyle – the freedom and choice opportunities has been a consistent theme across the guests but how they implement and live the freedom and choice has been very different.
For me, it’s about creating freedom and choice with an element of being able to create your own security and being in control of it.
It starts in your life and how you are using your time. what are you doing with your time that you don’t want to do can you outsource it so that you can spend your time doing what you choose to.
Leverage is about having the right systems in place to be effective
Leveraging is about your time, knowledge and experience, money and people in your network and those around you.
It’s about seeking out others who have more knowledge and can be leveraged to help you move forward.
People can often get leveraging wrong when they are not realistic about what they really want to achieve and what someone else can do.
Understanding the tasks that are slowing you down or those you don’t do well or like is the key to knowing what you want to leverage out to others.
Communication is key so that others know what you want them to do and how to do it.
You need to decide on what lifestyle you want to achieve and then decide how to get there.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You have to give people future vision glasses so they can see what is important to leverage and what will make a difference to the business’

‘We are there to make sure people are getting it right with their Virtual Assistant hires’

‘We are always going to be striving to be better and do more but it’s important to realise perfect is what in front of us now’

My aim with this podcast was to share how you can create a lifestyle you want, rather than you have been told you should & share the tools, skills, mindset, so you can 1. Decide what the lifestyle is you want & 2. Take the shortest route there.

Plus, thank you everyone who has helped get this podcast out into the world, Aaron, Bella, Thom & my show notes writers & everyone at the Progressive podcast agency - if anyone is looking for a great team to get your content out there, I would highly recommend them & happy to have a chat about how they can help.

I want to say thank you to everyone who has invited me on their podcast, if you know of any podcasts I should reach out to be interviewed on, let me know.

Finally, thank you to all those awesome people who have agreed to being interviewed on Leveraged Lifestyle - too many to share here, plus I'm worried I'll forget someone!

How to be Happy

Tue, 19 May 2020 23:00:00 -0000

Catherine shares and reflects on a post from entrepreneur Richard Branson. His

‘How to be happy - letter to a stranger’ is an emotional post about the importance of being and finding happiness.

We can get caught up the race to move forward and achieve our goals but will this bring happiness?

What’s really important is what you want to ‘be’ and appreciating the moment. If you can be bold and just ‘be’ for a moment, you will be able to put things into perspective and happiness will follow.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Happiness is not something afforded to a special few it can be yours if you take the time to let it grow

It’s ok to be stressed, scared and sad, life is made up of many elements.

Wealth and success do not bring happiness. Happiness brings wealth and success, happiness is about being.

Write a ‘to be’ list to find your happiness ‘doing’ will bring moments of joy but not necessarily happiness.

Be healthy and around your family and friends.

Be there for someone and let someone be there for you.

If you allow yourself to be in the moment then happiness will follow.

Allowing yourself just to be, puts things into perspective.

Start being every day and appreciate the moment.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Allowing yourself just to be, puts things into perspective’

‘There is a reason we are called human beings, not human doings’

‘Take the time to simply be and you will be happier’

How to Live The Life You Want?

Tue, 12 May 2020 23:00:00 -0000

Are you trying to keep up with those around you and looking to recreate the same lifestyle as those on the next level, perpetually chasing the next shiny penny?

If this is you then Stop! this will not give you the life you want. The only way to live the life you want is to forge your own path because your leverage lifestyle should be yours and yours alone. In this episode, Catherine shares great advice on how to achieve and live the life you want, looking only to those who are truly inspirational for motivation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Are you choosing to do what others are doing not because you want to do it but because you are chasing the next new thing - that ‘shiny penny’?
Your leverage lifestyle must be your own not anyone else’s
Look to others for inspiration but remember your life is yours to live.
You need to forge your own path and choose what you do, for you, not just follow others.
Before you start something, talk to others, those who are close to you and those who can give an unbiased view about the things you want to do and achieve.
List both what you want and what you don’t want to gain a clear understanding.
Ask yourself what would you truly regret not doing?
Step back from social media and review whether those you follow are truly inspirational.
Truly inspirational people recognise we are all unique individuals who have differing needs, wants and goals.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Are you living a life that someone else has chosen?’

‘You only regret the things you haven’t done in life’

‘Take the opportunity to review whether those you are looking towards are really an inspiration for you’

What Will be Your Snowball Skill?

Tue, 05 May 2020 23:00:00 -0000

Are you someone who could currently be learning a new skill that could snowball and impact positively in other areas of your life?

Catherine explains how snowball skills can directly impact on your life even though the skill may not be obviously connected to the skills you already have or those you need for your work.

This is a light bite episode that will help anyone reflect on, and be inspired to start learning a new skill because if the learning has an impact on your life either directly or non-directly then you are effectively leveraging.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

You could be part of the group of people who now have the time to work on a snowball skill that will help with your job moving forward or a side hustle you are planning.
If learning a new skill has an impact on your life either directly or non-directly then you are effectively leveraging.
Think about both the direct and indirect benefits

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you do it and love it that’s a benefit’

‘Look at some of the skills you’ve been putting off learning’

What Leverage Means to Me and How It Can Help You on Your Business Journey

Tue, 28 Apr 2020 23:00:00 -0000

Catherine shares what it means to her to leverage in these very different times and explains how she can help you to achieve your leveraged lifestyle.

Catherine has helped people in a multitude of different sized businesses through teaching, The Viva Club and her online Masterclass, to successfully systemise, outsource and scale their businesses to the point where they have achieved the lifestyle they want.

Leveraging is about creating the life you want and a legacy that will extend beyond you. Listen in and hear about some very special offers in this episode packed with value because now more than ever we need to help each other.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Leverage and creating the lifestyle you want will be different in these times.
More than ever we need to understand what leverage is and how it can help us.
Currently, we can’t work face to face so the ability to be able to work from anywhere and leverage the tools that are available is key in moving forward.
Leverage is about looking at the processes and systems first.
Putting in processes and systems first means that when you are leveraging people such as virtual assistants you are able to use them efficiently and effectively.
Leverage is not just the people or the software it’s the integration of all the elements.
It’s how we leverage knowledge - both ours and other peoples and our money, to make money on our money
How can you leverage to create a legacy that will continue and will be bigger than you?

BEST MOMENTS

‘Maybe now you are working from your patio furniture’

‘Us coming in helped them see a different way of doing it’

What Metric are You Measuring Your Life By?

Tue, 21 Apr 2020 23:00:00 -0000

What is your metric to live a life worth living and a life you love?

In this very reflective episode, Catherine asks the question and shares why a metric based purely on money is never enough to bring you what you truly want.

At a time when many of us are reflecting on different aspects of our lives, this is a great listen and provides some great reflective starting questions. Whatever the time is for you, we can all take the time to consider what our metric is and how we are going to measure our lives and success moving forward.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

What is the metric you are measuring your life yourself by?
Is it a metric created by you? because ideally, it shouldn’t be one created by anyone except you.
For too many people it’s just about a money metric but it has to be what the money can do for you - the choices, the freedom and the opportunities.
It’s got to be about your bigger purpose;
Is it about your children seeing how you reacted to life and various situations?
The knowledge you put out there and how much you understand the world?
Is your metric about the number you served, gave opportunities too and inspired?
The lessons you taught about being a better person – to put your best self out there?
The more we can give without expecting anything in return the better our lives will ultimately be.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If I‘ve learnt anything, its if it’s just about you and your ego you will not get very far or be very liked’

‘Maybe it’s about the number of strangers you help’

‘A metric can change as you grow’

10 Ways to Make Money From Home (Lockdown Special!)

Tue, 31 Mar 2020 23:00:00 -0000

How can you make quick cash and keep your business afloat in this difficult period of lockdown? It’s a question on millions of minds across the world right now.

Fortunately, Catherine is here today to give you ten instant and practical ways to unlock opportunities for making money in a time when you need it the most. With a gallery of ideas, and the online resources to back you up, this is an incredibly timely, and invaluable episode for everyone.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Each method will have its own pros and cons, but these will depend upon you and your personal circumstances. Some require investment, and some require a complete pivot in terms of outlook, but all hold value and are worth considering.
E-commerce - Specifically the “private labelling” strategy, involving taking a product and re-packaging it for your brand. This strategy requires education and research, but can be a hugely effective way of generating income.
Arbitrage - A different form of e-commerce, which takes two forms: online and retail. Arbitrage is the simple act of sourcing a product and selling it on at a profit. It’s important to remember that no-one should attempt to be profiteering during this period.
E-commerce drop-shipping - This strategy means that you don’t have to invest in buying the stock before you re-sell it. Essentially you act as a third-party between the manufacturer and the customer as a storefront. The manufacturer ships directly to the customer once an order is placed.
Handcrafting and selling -Are you creating a product at home? Would there be a market for it on sites such as Etsy, Not On The High Street, Facebook Sales or eBay? Now might be the time to start selling your handcrafted items online!
Online courses - Do you have a specialist skill that you could teach to others? People are determined to keep developing and growing during isolation. This may be a wonderful opportunity to pass your skills on to a waiting world.
Facebook/YouTube Live streams - Physical exercise classes, educational lessons, musical tuition and many other skills can be taught easily through Facebook Live and YouTube broadcasts to people hungry for instruction.
Podcasting/YouTube - Now is the time to start your podcast! Podcasting can generate income in lots of ways, plus it’s a fabulous means of spending your creativity. It’s easy to start, and audiences are craving content right now. The best part is that you can repurpose in all kinds of ways: scripts into blog posts, and even YouTube videos into audio downloads.
Delivery - Logistics is booming right now as most people are having goods and products delivered rather than going out for them. Perhaps you can become a driver for one of the many services out there?
Trading - A strategy not for the faint-hearted, and certainly requires a degree of education, and the correct mental capacity and nerve. But trading in stocks and shares is something you can do from home, and there are opportunities to be had in the volatile financial world.
Consultancy - Can you offer your knowledge in a consultancy capacity? You may have a wealth of knowledge that has suddenly become highly sought-after. Places such as LinkedIn are marvellous ways of letting the world know that you’re skilled, and that you’re available.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Making money is allowed!’

‘All businesses are allowed to make profit during this time’

‘People are still having birthdays! People still want to give gifts!’

‘People want to learn from people who’d been there and done it’

‘It’s about making money during this time using the resources available to you’

‘How can you help steer and navigate people through this?'

‘Be kind to yourself. Be kind to others’

Don't Let The Fear or The Haters Stop You Doing Business (or YOU)

Wed, 25 Mar 2020 00:00:00 -0000

Today’s show is a message you all need to hear, especially if you’re a business or entrepreneur who’s rightly scared by the events engulfing the world.

It’s okay to keep going. It’s okay to be out there doing business. Don’t be fearful about what other people are going to say. We need to keep going, any way we can.

In this week’s show, Catherine talks about her reaction to the way business operators are being treated by those in society who don’t seem to be able to understand the motivations behind business decisions right now.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

As business operators, we’re right to be looking for ways to pivot and thrive in the face of defeat. As long as we’re not putting anyone at risk, and as long as we aren’t disregarding the problem, it’s perfectly fine to want to survive this.
All that any of us can do right now is to keep supplying the world with products and services that can keep us going as a society. Creating a sense of normality in the wake of so devastating a condition, is a healthy reaction.
This is not a time for negativity, but overwhelming positivity. This is a time when we should all be working together to pull each other up, not tear each other down. Everyone is scared. Everyone is anxious. Hate only causes that anxiety to flourish like the virus itself.
It doesn’t matter what your strategy is, or even if you have no strategy, there will always be someone who’ll criticise you for it. The sooner we accept that, the sooner we’ll be able to get over their sometimes hurtful remarks.

BEST MOMENTS

'People are going to judge you anyway’

‘I am not going to be scared’

‘Why pour your energy into doing something negative, when you can do something positive?’

‘Be grateful for what we have'

Wed, 18 Mar 2020 00:00:00 -0000

Catherine looks closely at the current global situation and shares the positives and opportunities that are a part of the time we are currently living through. It’s vital that we all

look closely at how to gain perspective on what is happening and understand the role everyone has to play in moving forward.

History has shown that the world repeatedly, over time, experiences global crisis so it’s important to be prepared. Listen in and hear Catherine’s great advice on how you can optimise your preparation and be ready for the next time.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The only constant is change, so if we can be better prepared and ready then moving forward is always possible.
Perspective can help you to evaluate a situation effectively and make an informed response.
Everyone can move forward and do things that make a difference.
A positive mindset makes it possible to look at the situation and see what you can do to adapt.
If you are isolated how can you use that time positively and productively?
How can you;

work more efficiently?

work virtually?

get your message out there in a different way?

leverage your time effectively?

Some businesses will experience challenge whilst others will thrive in exceptional situations such as the one being experienced worldwide currently.
If you are not in a position to move forward or leverage this time you can prepare and be ready for the next time.

BEST MOMENTS

‘More millionaires are made in times of recession than at any other time’

‘Keeping a positive attitude is good for your immunity’

One of The Hardest Things I've Ever Had to do

Wed, 11 Mar 2020 00:00:00 -0000

In today's episode, Catherine really wants to share one of the hardest things she has had to do.

Those who follow Catherine on social channels will know that she has recently had to start liquidation of her Serviced Accommodation business.

In a heartfelt and personal post, she explained how she has reached this decision, how it has affected her personally and her business. You will find the post here in this podcast Description, but please listen to the episode and hear Catherine's words from herself. Get in touch and let Catherine know if you have been affected by the loss of a Business or similar.

“One of my Mentors… Has put up a post about this ‘quitters never win’-type thing. But actually; Quitting the wrong thing is the RIGHT thing to do”
-Catherine Turner

CATHERINES POST

I know it's a cliche, but this is one of the hardest things I've ever had to write.

It's horrible to become a statistic.

After 5 years & 5 months of running our Serviced Accommodation business we are having to liquidate. It's been all too easy recently to just see & dwell on the negatives & to get upset about it getting to this point, but I woke up this morning also remembering the positives:

That during that time we helped multiple investors achieve way better returns on their money than they would have done in the bank.

Helped multiple landlords with guaranteed rents & a hassle free solution.
Hosted nearly 8,000 guests & gave them a home away from home experience.
At our height this business also employed 4 staff here in the UK & 6 in the Philippines.
And took over £85k a month in bookings.
Steve served many SA business owners & mentored them in starting there businesses.

However, it was not meant to continue.

The industry has changed alot in those few years, when we started our USP was that we were the only operator in our city!

5 years on competition has risen & outpaced demand in a number of our locations, meaning nightly rates drop, overheads increased & margins were squeezed.

We believe lean, stand-out, well-educated operators will continue to florish.

However, in our case, coupled with this we had multiple, back to back, 'bad luck' or unforseen circumstances, many out of our control, plus certainly a couple of bad judgement decisions, meant we have had to cease trading.

This is not only having an impact on us, but also on a number of recent investors, landlords, service providers & staff and for that we are truly sorry. We have done our utmost to trade through the difficulties, ploughing our own money in, selling off parts of the business, but nothing has been enough to save it.

We sought professional advice & the only answer was to liquidate.

This was not the answer we were hoping for, but in order to save & protect our other businesses & interests it was the only way to go. I know some people are hurt & angry right now, and are wanting to lash out & try to 'ruin us' or words to that affect.

I understand that hurt, I am too. A number of people, agencies, companies have let us down & that is a big factor in why we are in this position.

Just when it seemed like we were catching a break, another one hit us, it has been relentless over the last few months. Making us question if we had been bad people in another life, were we just idiots or completely naive.

Maybe we were too trusting, too open & honest - but those are qualities I think are important & never want to lose.

Then I looked at the statistics & realised we had just become another one.

We've probably all heard that a fifth of all small businesses fail in their 1st year, but did you know 50% fail after 5 years & 70% fail in their 10th year in business?

But that also failure doesn't mean the end & as long as you learn from it, you can grow & become better from it.

That failure is a rite of passage, common to all that dare to doing something different, against the norm.

When I started looking at all the business owners I have admired, so many have had businesses that failed, that impacted not only them, but those around them.

But they learned, got better, moved on & made an even bigger & better impact & success because of what they had been through.

This is not the end, merely a detour on the journey.

I know we are good people, with good intentions, we will do everything we can to make this right by people affected.

We are extremely grateful for all who have stuck by us during this time, been patient & understanding & that will not be forgotten.

We already have multiple projects & plans in place and those already involved in those are not affected by this.

This is hard to write, because I know no matter what I say & write, some people will judge (without all the facts) & decide we are not people they want to work with.

Others will be more understanding & realise this actually gives us more experience, knowing how to avoid this in the future or at least what to look out for, and that is in fact an asset.

This has been a hugely stressful, upsetting & horrible experience & it's not over yet.

However, we are so grateful for everyone who has helped & supported us.

And I am so grateful that we have each other through this time, not everyone is so lucky to have such a great partner in life & business. I do not take that for granted.

-Catherine Turner

Getting Your Ducks in a Row; With The Serviced Accomodation Podcast!

Wed, 04 Mar 2020 00:00:00 -0000

No one knows more about leveraging their business to achieve their ideal lifestyle than this our host, Catherine Turner!

This episode sees Catherine delivering a very special keynote address to a select group of attendees, in which she discusses the importance of leveraging and automation, and the ways in which Catherine herself managed to achieve her own leveraged lifestyle.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When we invest in property, we need to make sure that we are leveraging, outsourcing and automating to the best of our abilities, or we risk creating more work for ourselves.

The belief that you are the only person who can run your business is all too common. We need to recognise that we can’t be the best at everything in the world.

Social media is a very useful way of leveraging out the sourcing of clients. Agencies, too, are an invaluable way of handing off tasks so that you can free up your own time.

Finding out about your tenants can often lead to further success. By discovering the lifestyle patterns of guests, you can more accurately predict their future interactions with you.

Finding the right business partner is easy of your strengths and weaknesses are the same. It’s best to partner with someone who can do the things you’re not best at. That way you can cover more bases.

You don’t always need to leverage by means of a person. There are so many systems out there that can help to lighten your load, and they come far cheaper in many cases. Automation is sometimes better than outsourcing.

The systems that Catherine recommends in order to help make your business more exepdient are:

Audio recordings of calls and meetings - this can make reference far easier
Evernote - notes that sync between devices
Lastpass - Ensures the smooth syncing and secure storage of logins and passwords, that can be easily shareable
Quicktime Player - this can be used to record conversations

VA’s, especially those working abroad, can be utilised at all times of the day. Perhaps they could run elements of your business while you’re asleep, so that you can essentially operate on a twenty-four hours basis.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Who need another day job?’
‘It was just me, a telephone, and a laptop’
‘For us this was all about building relationships’
‘You don’t need to reinvent the wheel’
’These things are working whether anyone’s working or not’
‘When do we ever have our ducks in a row?’

How Much do I Need to be Earning From my Business Before I Hired a Virtual Assistant

Wed, 26 Feb 2020 00:00:00 -0000

In this episode Catherine addresses a common question that is being asked a lot recently; How Much do I Need to be Earning From my Business Before I Hired a Virtual Assistant?

So in this episode Catherine explains what the ratio of bookings you require should be to determine whether and when you may require a VA.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Look at what revenue you have coming in at the moment from all of your streams of income and decide whether you have enough to budget for a VA.
If you’re starting your business but don’t require to make any profit currently then using a va can really help you build solid systems and processes to help growth.
However, if you’re in need of profit and are living off of the profit you make then a va is maybe not quite right for you.
What level are you at with your business? If you’re right at the beginning and are trying to figure out your initial processes and systems, then a va probably wouldn’t be right for you. However, if you already have these systems in place, a va can help to free up time to enable you to do the higher skilled tasks.
You would be looking at £2 - £4 per hour for a va. Benchmarking how much you can afford to give per hour.
It depends massively on how big you want to scale your business.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I wouldn’t look at revenue first’

‘What’s the goal for your business’

‘It’s 100% up to you’

3 Simple Ways to Create Your Business Systems

Wed, 19 Feb 2020 00:00:00 -0000

These steps will enable you to not be the be all and end all of your business and free up some of your time. These steps are great because they don’t require many technology, systems or software. Listen to this episode to find out more!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Use a piece of equipment such as a Zoom H1N recorder and microphone, a mobile phone or something that you can simply record your voice on.
Record yourself when you’re doing a task or on the phone so that you’re able to take notes without having to take notes. Talk through what you’re doing if you’re doing something physically.
Talk through the system of what you’re doing, this doesn’t mean technology systems, but I mean the process of which you go through when you’re doing what you’re doing.
Have the recordings transcribed so you can then turn them into scripts or checklist for someone you’re passing the task onto.

Have a notepad always on you, this could be a digital one or a physical one. Evernote is a good piece of software I use.
When you’re doing any task on your laptop (Specifically a Macbook) use QuickTime to record your screen whilst you do these tasks so that you can record the system of how you’re doing it. Have your team to do this too and turn them into training videos.

BEST MOMENTS

‘This is all about taking action’

‘Use what works for you’

‘It’s all about systems’

Leverage, Systems, Automate, Outsource - in That Order

Wed, 12 Feb 2020 00:00:00 -0000

In this episode Catherine discusses what process she follows when she is looking to outsource tasks within her business. She also explains why it’s important to use this process before choosing whether to outsource the tasks or hire another person.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It’s important to create your systems and automate them using software before you look to outsource.
It’s easy to think that you just need another person that you can pass the work onto when really there might be a piece of software that can hep before another person needs to get involved.
Set up an online tool that requires no human intervention at all so that if someone’s ill or you’re away, your work is still getting done. This will also allow your staff to get on with the higher level tasks that need doing.
Leverage what’s already out there that exists before you look to create your own. Knowledge, books, experience etc…

Have you created systems and got the knowledge out of your head in order to run your business?
Once you’ve created your systems and have clear checklists and steps for each task that needs doing, start looking to automate and outsource.
Sometimes it’s better to get started and improve later.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You don’t need all of your ducks in a row’

‘Never look to replace a human with outsourcing’

‘There will always be new systems created along the way’

‘101 tasks The right VA can do for you no matter what your business, no matter what your industry, no matter what your profession’.

Catherine has put together and is sharing this ultimate report on the tasks a VA can do within any business because although people recognise they need a Virtual Assistant due to the overwhelm of tasks they have to complete they still are not sure what they could hand over to a VA.

You may not have the resources or enough work to need someone full time so a VA could be what you need in your business.
Our Virtual Assistants are based in the Philippines where the economy is very different.
In the UK the average hourly rate will be around £12.00 whilst a virtual assistant based in the Philippines with equivalent skills, experience and knowledge will on average cost between £2.00 and £5.00 per hour.
There can be a barrier where people recognise they have too much to do but still don’t know what to outsource.
‘101 tasks the right VA can do for you no matter what your business, no matter what your industry, no matter what your profession’ is now available through Turner Invest.
Everyone would get benefit from having a VA whether full time or part-time.
Having a VA will free up your time, whether you are still working full time and building your own business or a second income stream, so can focus on developing your business.

The question is where would you find the time when you are doing all the doing?
The ultimate and effective answer is leveraging the right virtual assistant for your business, industry or profession- so you can grow and scale exactly how you want to.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Wow, I didn’t even know I could get a VA to do that task’

‘I’m putting out a series, niching down to explain exactly what a VA can do for you’

Lite Bite! No More to-do Lists. What Have You Accomplished?

Do you ever look at your “To do” list and loose motivation in what you’re doing? Listen to this episode to enlighten you and learn how you can avoid these situations again!

Build Your Authority And Leverage Your Life – With Rob Stewart

Wed, 22 Jan 2020 00:00:00 -0000

After leaving the RAF, Rob Stewart entered the world of property investment, and carved out a highly successful path for himself that has seen his portfolio and reputation grow considerably.

For the past six years, Rob has been helping other experts to increase their own authority, and to maximise their investment opportunities through coaching, with the goal of ensuring that they too can achieve their leveraged lifestyle.

Rob joins Catherine today to discuss the huge benefits of property investment, the differences that have taken place since he began, the importance of trusting others, the formula for building authority, and the journey that led to Rob being able to achieve his own leveraged lifestyle.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

One of the greatest things about property investment is that it can be done remotely. Rob was in the middle of a career with the RAF, and generally abroad, when he began conducting property business.
Investors are attracted to success. If you make someone some money, then the likelihood is that they’ll come back to you when you present new opportunities.
Property education taught Rob the importance of leverage, and of team-building. Trusting others to do their job, and gaining the insight needed in order to hand off tasks to his team, has led Rob to be able to free up more time, and to concentrate on his training ventures.
For those who can do so, Rob recommends spending time in another time zone when you need to get work done. Being on a different clock to the rest of your business means that you are essentially unreachable during the working day.
No matter where you are in your business journey, the frameworks stay the same when it comes to guidance, but the tactics will differ, depending on who you are, what stage you’re at, and what your niche is.
The key to a leveraged lifestyle is to work hard and not procrastinate. No-one ever achieved a leveraged lifestyle by talking about it. You need to roll up your sleeves and get started as soon as possible.
The formula for building authority is DAE to the power of C (Demonstration, Association, Education to the power of Consistency):

Demonstrate who we are and what our values are
Associate and build credibility
Educate, and don’t be seen as a salesperson
When we amplify these elements with Consistency, that’s when the Authority really comes.

One of the dangers of growth is that people like to hedge their bets. Multiple businesses are sometimes founded in the hopes that one of them will work. This can lead to overwhelm, and spreading yourself too thin. The best of the best will back one idea and make it work.

BEST MOMENTS

’There are two types of mentor. The ones you pay for, and the ones who teach you throughout your life’

‘It’s all about leverage’

‘You can’t really change the world by yourself, but if you’re training others, you can change the world together’

‘Be in front of their mind before they even know they have a problem’

‘You need to back yourself to make things work’

‘Keep it simple’

‘Don’t destroy yourself by trying to over-scale too quickly’

Cat's Rant! Tell People Your Price

Thu, 16 Jan 2020 16:52:00 -0000

Just Tell Me The Price!

The thing often stopping me from buying a product is the price not being shown. The human brain needs information in order to make a decision on whether to purchase something or not. It's a waste of time to have your customers keep chasing for a price as it can come across as dodgy. So don't be cagey about telling your customers about the price of your products.

'Don't be scared to tell people the price'

The Key Areas You NEED to Leverage to Get The Lifestyle You Want

Wed, 08 Jan 2020 00:00:00 -0000

In this first Leveraged Lifestyle episode of the year Catherine asks;

Are you living the leveraged lifestyle you want?

If you think having a leveraged lifestyle is sitting on the beach every day then you have missed the point! Effective leveraging is systemising, automating and outsourcing so you can spend time on the higher-level tasks that will really optimise your business and life.

Catherine brings clarity and understanding to what it really means to leverage your life and shares some great practical advice on how you can leverage in all areas of your life and achieve the lifestyle you want.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

If you are leveraging across all areas of your life you should be looking at;

Strengths – it’s all about playing to your strengths. Do what you do best and leverage the rest.
Talent - leverage your talent and experience through the content you create from social media, books and sharing your expertise.
Brand - whether you have one now or not we are all creating our own brand through what we put out the into the world, it becomes your brand.
People - it’s vital to effectively leverage the whole team you create around you, your peers, power team, mentors and coaches.
Money - invest your time and effort in assets that will create passive income. Put in the work so you don’t then have to put in the work
Time - is finite but you can create assets that work for you beyond the time it took to create them. Use NETime to get back time.
Knowledge - we all have knowledge and experience to share with the world. Only you are stopping you sharing your knowledge with the world. It could be in the form of a book or a podcast, get some information out there.
Lifestyle – is about how you invest your time and being conscious of any time you waste. If you invest your time creating evergreen assets and passive income you will have more time to spend on creating memories with those who are important to you.
Doing what you love – doing something that despite being challenging at times is what you enjoy and brings you fulfilment and satisfaction is something to hold on to.
If you love what you do for the majority of the time then you have a leveraged lifestyle

BEST MOMENTS

‘I’m really clear about my strengths and leverage them effectively’

‘We all have a brand because we are all unique with different values, experience and talents’

‘It’s all about how you are putting it out there into the world’

Doing What You Love - Do You Have to Love it?

Wed, 18 Dec 2019 00:00:00 -0000

‘What does that mean and does that mean you need to love it 24/7’

This is my last episode of 2019 - Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all yourLeveragers. In this episode Catherine discusses the pros and cons of making your hobby or something you love into your job. She also covers how you could do this.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

All the people I know who are doing their passion as the way they make income,they are some of the happiest and most fulfilled people I know and most are earning a very decent wage from it too. 
You can make a business from almost anything now and you have the ability to reach the world and outsource the bits you don’t like for no or very low cost.

The internet has opened up so many opportunities, that it seems daft to be spending the majority of your waking hours something that you absolutely hateeveryday, when you could be putting that time into something you love. 
If you love something, you’ll naturally want to put more time into it, you’ll dedicate hours beyond the normal work day to it, so why not find ways to monetise the thing you love, even if it always stays as a side income, hustle, job etc…
Accept there might be days when even the bit you do might not light you up 24/7 - but it damn well beats the alternative hands down.
I will be back on Wednesday 8th January with the first episode of 2020 - until then have a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and remember there is No better time than now to start creating your leveraged lifestyle.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You are not going to love your passion every day of the week or every hour of the day’

‘why not make the thing you love your source of income’

‘You don’t have to do it all’

Your Financial Admin Questions Answered!

Wed, 11 Dec 2019 00:00:00 -0000

Catherine is joined this week by her business partner and husband, Stephen, the “spreadsheet geek” and financial director of their jointly-owned businesses.

In this edition, Catherine and Stephen were live with the community, who took the opportunity to ask about the pressing question of financial admin, and how it can be made easier, more secure and more efficient. Catherine and Stephen answered as many community questions as they could, and now you can hear those answers for yourself!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Stephen’s experience in finance has seen him in roles such as management accountancy, corporate and systemisation. Part of his personal mission was to automate and systemise as many of his daily tasks as possible.
Book-keeping can be outsourced to a virtual assistant in order to minimise the costs you pay to accountants. Accountants should really only be used for tax advice and end of year accounts submission.
Monthly reports, bank reconciliations, client invoices, statements and everything day-to-day, should be handled by your virtual assistant, leaving you to perform the few tasks they can’t do.
Depending on the types of tasks being handed off, you may need to find VAs with specific financial experience, such as book-keeping or accountancy. They don’t necessarily need to be full-time.
For automation, Stephen recommends using Zapier to find out if any of your processes and workflows can be systemised, freeing up more time for you.
Using LastPass is an effective way of protecting passwords and which also allows you to share access to team members without them having the ability to see the password itself.
Developing a leveraged lifestyle for yourself is a constantly evolving mind-set. You will find new ways each day, in many different areas.

BEST MOMENTS

‘He is kind of the man behind it all!’

‘I married well!’

’You can afford to do it at £3 an hour’

‘I like it, it’s a bit geeky’

‘Understanding what it means to have a leveraged lifestyle, to automate, is an ongoing skillset that you learn’

Keeping it Real; LIVE With Khadija Kalifa

Mon, 02 Dec 2019 00:00:00 -0000

One of the best ways to consume content nowadays is through podcasts. Not only does it save time, but it also helps you grasp ideas easier since you hear the emotions in the conversations.

In this collaborative episode, Catherine is joined by the Keep It Real with Khadija Podcast host, who is none other than Khadija, to talk about the world of podcasting – from pre-planning to producing to publishing. They talk about how to scout guests, how to select the best VA, why people choose podcasts over radio, how to make a business thrive, and many more. There is also some unwritten podcasting etiquettes between podcasters which you might need to know. Then after the insightful discussion, Catherine plays Khadija’s Yes or No game at the end so listen in!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

As podcasters, where do Khadija and Catherine get their awesome guests?

Khadija, for one, used the VIVA Club (link below) to find the most reliable virtual assistant she will work with. Guests are then selected by them, the hosts, for the VA’s to contact them.
For Catherine, it also helps that she connects to most of the guests through social media platforms to get a chance to engage with them and tell them how your podcast can help them show how relevant they are.

Stay in touch with your guests (and other podcasters who also invited the guest). Plan out when the content (i.e. audio/video) will be published and make sure it won’t cross with the launch of his other podcast guesting’s. You don’t want to anger other podcasters while getting the maximum engagement for your episode as much as possible. In addition, your guests might also know someone who can also offer a fresh perspective related to your podcast.
Why do people prefer podcasts over radio nowadays? People love authenticity, the smooth informal flow of conversations. It’s easier to trust people who can be themselves easily.

You can’t too much pressure on yourself in growing your business. For most, the first business they’ve manage was more of a big business course—learning what to do and not to do, correcting mistakes, and so on.

BEST MOMENTS

“When you want to be successful, time is of the essence.”
“Podcasting is a natural fit for collaborations.”
“Everyone knows someone who knows one.”

“You can’t copyright knowledge.”
“Having a leveraged lifestyle for me is doing minimal work while having maximum money.”

The Answer is 'YES'- With Neville Wright

Wed, 27 Nov 2019 00:00:00 -0000

“You only got 86,400 in a day, 1440 minutes in a day, use them!” – Neville Wright

Having owned the largest independent baby shop in the UK for a very long time, our guest Neville drops so much nuggets of wisdom in this episode. Neville has helped other businesses thrive, aside from sharing his expertise through his book, The Answer is Yes – Now What is the Question?, so the discussion went very smoothly. Some topics tackled were property vs retail, managing a nursery business, looking for your new business partner (lucky for him, his wife Marilyn is all he needs by his side in business, in sickness, and in health), incorporating a new system in your business, and many more.

Start tuning in today in the Leveraged Lifestyle Podcast.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Teach the young ones how to value education instead of dictating a career path they should follow. Motivate them to believe in themselves and their passions, so they can pursue them on their own. Seeing them do what they want for their lives should be enough for you to remove all your worries and doubts.
Children adapt—in whatever environment you put them. Neville and his wife did nothing to make them ‘comfortable’ because they know they will be. In this manner also, you also incite independence, responsibility, and flexibility. Trust the process and trust them.
It was truly a blessing for finding not just a life partner but a business partner who complements the skills and talents that you already have. You can’t do everything… We’ve proven many times before that it’s better to concentrate on your forte than waste your resources on the mediocre stuff. If you have to hire someone to do the other tasks, then go for it.
In business, we need systems for the flow and efficiency of every operation. It also helps everyone to be accountable from the top-to-bottom levels of the work hierarchy. But systems shouldn’t be as rigid if we’re dealing with different people. It should be flexible depending on the situation, the culture, and the people involved.

BEST MOMENTS

“When you got these skills and great things but you can’t do some things—well, no one can do everything—you have to let other people do what you can’t do.”
“We got there… I have this question every single day and I would tell people how easy it was to build that incredible business.”
“It’s not all roses—that’s business.”

“Property is certainly not the same as retail.”

Never Being Average; Interview with Sabrina Stocker, Semi-Finalist on The Apprentice 2018 & Founder of My Tennis Events

Fri, 22 Nov 2019 00:00:00 -0000

082LL Never Being Average; Interview with Sabrina Stocker, Semi-Finalist on The Apprentice 2018 & Founder of My tennis Events, The Largest Provider of Tennis Events in the UK.

DESCRIPTION

‘Don’t ever settle on average, when it comes to business, friendships, relationships don’t settle on average’

Catherine is in conversation with Sabrina Stocker, Finalist on The Apprentice 2018 and Founder of My tennis Events, the largest provider of tennis events in the UK.

Sabrina started her first business at the age of 14 and encapsulates what it is to be entrepreneurial in every sense. In this in-depth interview, she talks with Catherine about taking part in The Apprentice, women in business, listening to Tony Robbins as a teenager, and why she would have loved an A to Z of how to start a business when she began.

This is a great listen with loads of value, tune in

KEY TAKEAWAYS

What happens to people after the apprentice?

There are only a handful of us who are still in business or have followed through with their business ideas, the majority have gone back into their jobs because running a business is hard.

My biggest drive was if I don’t do it now when will I do it?  Coupled with ‘if I do what everyone else is doing then I will be as average as everyone else’ and I have a fear of being average.

What made you stand out?

My energetic character and positive personality coupled with my business mind and my unique aspect of being someone in the business of sport was key.

How have you kept the momentum?

I have been very active on social media. The reason I have become successful is ‘yes I’ve been on a TV show but I also have a 6 figure business’.

I want to grow my business but also diversify; to run entrepreneurial workshops, develop my public  speaking and create courses that allow others to start businesses

If I had won I’d be spending 80 hours on my tennis business instead of 20 hours on that business with the other 60 hours on passion projects.

What is the key first hire for a business?

Its somebody to do the jobs that take up the time but have to be done. This allows you to move from the day to day activities and start working strategically growing the business.

There is nothing behind a good entrepreneur other than a good team.

What makes an entrepreneur?

If you have created yourself a lifestyle where you are in complete control and you have a business where you are providing value with the team then you can say you are an entrepreneur.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I thought if I don’t win the apprentice I’ll utilise the media as much as I can and its opened up lots of opportunities but only because I’ve made that happen’

‘You’ve got to find that fire in yourself’

‘ Anyone can talk but have they got something to talk about?’

‘So glad I didn’t win because the business plan I submitted was the wrong one’

Being Yourself And Why That Matters – with The Apprentice 2019’s Thomas Skinner

Wed, 20 Nov 2019 00:00:00 -0000

This week, Catherine meets The Apprentice 2019 contestant Thomas Skinner, one of this year’s most popular contestants, who’s charmed the nation with his down-to-earth personality and quick-witted business solutions.

Thomas is the owner of The Fluffy Pillow Company, a burgeoning empire supplying beds and pillows to those in search of comfort. He joins Catherine this week for a truly unique conversation covering everything from what life on set is really like, his humble beginnings, the lessons he’s learned from Alan Sugar and his fellow contestants, the places and people who provide him with inspiration, his tantalising idea for a podcast, and the one thing he’d change about the world if he had one wish.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Thomas didn’t even apply for The Apprentice. His application was sent in by his girlfriend, and Thomas didn't expect to get very far. But his natural charm appealed to producers, who ended up insisting that he appear on the show.
People don’t consider the fact that while you’re on The Apprentice, you aren’t earning. You are living, isolated, in the house, and cannot have any contact with the outside world. You have to make sure your business is taken care of while you’re gone.
Tom is a market trader, who began selling at a very young age. His first job was a paper round, and he was inspired by his father to keep going. He now has his own company, and his own brand.
Thomas aspires to making The Fluffy Pillow Company a household name, and a brand recognised by the public as one of quality and value.
Alan Sugar has been a huge inspiration to Thomas since his time on the show. Alan Sugar is self-made, honest, and most importantly, successful.
Thomas sees each day, and each challenge as an opportunity to learn and grow. Seeing the world, and life, this way, help to turn each negative into a positive, and keep Thomas hungry.
Of all the problems Thomas could fix, he would rid the world of cancer. While the world is watching Thomas on The Apprentice, no-one realises that in real life, he is facing personal tragedy. Two weeks ago, he lost his grandmother to cancer.
Play to your strengths, love what you do, and if you can keep doing that, then you’ve cracked it. If working makes you happy, and you get satisfaction from it, then by all means keep doing it. On the other hand, if you feel as though you could be doing more, then maybe you’re an entrepreneur, but you don't know it.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It don’t make no sense, does it?’

‘I’m saying it exactly how it is’

‘I’ve had stalls. I’ve ducked and dived my whole life’

‘I was just myself, you know what I mean?’

‘Don’t tell Louis Vitton, we’ll get in trouble!’

‘Every day I can learn something new’

‘I lost my nan two weeks ago to cancer’

‘Crimewatch is on again, you’re on it!'

Thrive Global 4 Ways a Digital Detox Changes Your Body and Mind

Are You Being a Leader in Your Business And Workplace?

Fri, 15 Nov 2019 00:00:00 -0000

Leadership is often perceived as a skill only for people who are at the highest ranks within a business. However in this episode Catherine explains how you can be a leader at any level. She also covers the importance of having a different view on creating leaders and how it can benefit you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

One of the key parts of going for in an interview is feeling confident, feeling your best and looking your best.
Empower someone else to become a leader of your project and let them lead the project. You should still give your ideas and be included but allow someone else to lead.
Being a leader can also empower other people to create their own projects and that’s what leadership’s about.
They may seem like another competitor but you’ve created another leader which is amazing. You can also do collaborations with them rather than viewing them as a competitor.
Leaders can be people on all levels of a business, not just the top. Push to be a leader no matter what level you’re on.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The leader is steering the ship’

‘Don’t just stop at your end target’.

‘Cooperation can bring power to what you do’.

Thrive Global 4 Ways a Digital Detox Changes Your Body and Mind

Digital Detox - Are You Doing This Regularly?

Fri, 08 Nov 2019 00:00:00 -0000

‘Tim Ferriss does it every Saturday apparently, Arianna Huffington recommends it for your body and mind and Gary Vee has said he’s considered doing it for a whole year!’

If you find yourself constantly scrolling through social media or under pressure to respond to messages immediately 24/7 then it’s time to think about a ‘digital detox’.

Technology is great as long as we are in control of it and it does not rule our lives.

Catherine has just undertaken an enforced digital detox and in this episode shares what it was like and the reasons how everyone should be doing it regularly.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Why?

My energy and mental health had taken a dip and one of the reasons was the pressure of being on social media.
I wanted to be present for my children and family, not constantly reaching for my phone.
With a poor signal and no wi-fi attempting any work would be frustrating.
There was nothing potentially urgent that would require my immediate attention.
I have a personal VA who can access my social media and comment if required.
Our business accounts are all managed by VAs who filter and only forward what requires personal attention.
My husband has been teasing me about constantly being on my phone and I wanted to challenge myself to see how little I really needed to use it.
I realised I was, without purpose mindlessly scrolling through social media when I could have been doing something more productive.

What does a digital detox look like?

It can be a few hours or a few days and be partial or total.

You could keep your phone with you and only use certain aspects such as the camera or maps or you could complete a zero-digital access with no Netflix, Play-station or Alexa.

There are multiple benefits anyone can get from a digital detox – you can reconnect with family and friends, start a new hobby or just get some great sleep.

Getting the most from your digital detox

Plan ahead – let family, clients, friends know you are doing this

Make the most of it – doing something physical such as swimming can help your creative thought processes

Responding to enquiries - If your business requires responses to enquiries then use a VA to do this.

Note the benefits – this will encourage you to repeat the experience regularly.

BEST MOMENTS

‘There are multiple benefits from taking a digital detox and I will now be making it part of my weekly routine’

‘I would not recommend that anyone comes off social media completely especially if they have a new business’

‘The constant bombardment of messages coming in from social media across my devices’

‘I swim weekly and you can’t have a phone in the pool it’s fantastic, I leave buzzing with creative ideas’

Linking Your WHY to Your Business Outputs to Create Your Leveraged Lifestyle

Thu, 24 Oct 2019 23:00:00 -0000

Today’s episode is all about linking your ‘why’ to your outcomes so that you can get the life you want to have and the leveraged lifestyle you deserve.

if your ‘why’ is to spend more time with loved ones or to travel then creating a business that requires you to be there every day doesn’t make sense. Listen back to other episodes of the Leveraged Lifestyle podcast to hear from people who’ve built businesses to suit the lifestyles they want – fulfilling their ‘why’

This is great podcast and a nudge to help anyone to think carefully about the ‘why’ and what they really want from their leveraged lifestyle, listen in.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Some can be clear from the beginning whilst others change trajectory when their ‘why’ becomes better defined.

Different people create different businesses to suit them.

It’s important to find the business that matches your ‘why’ to allow you to have the lifestyle you want.

What if you want to create a ‘play bucket’? - if this is what you are aiming for workout how much money you want to generate and then what you will need in output to achieve this, what profit levels do you need?

Linking the outcomes to the why is vital to ensure you create a business that is right for you.

It’s vital to have goals and targets in place that link back to the why otherwise you are not going to have financial freedom.

There is financial security, financial freedom and finally financial opulence but you can’t reach the opulence level without moving through the other levels.

What does financial freedom mean to you?

What’s the point of it all, if it means changing your business you need to do this so you are on the right path, heading in the direction of your ‘why’.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You’re not going to have everything perfect when you start up but it’s a great thing to be thinking about when you first start your business’

‘What’s the point in your ‘why’ being able to take time away from the business if you have no money to spend and enjoy yourself’

‘Why did I start this business? what do I want? what is my why?’

Interview With Instagram Influencer & 22 Year Old Entrepreneur Lauren Tickner

Thu, 17 Oct 2019 23:00:00 -0000

‘ You don’t need to reinvent the wheel its more about building a kick-ass brand’

Lauren Tickner has one of the world’s top 10 business podcasts, Impact School, she’s known for her highly actionable free content, and for helping people create profitable online businesses. In this absorbing episode, which has something for everyone, Lauren and Catherine discuss building a brand, loving the online space and impact you can make on other people with what you do, listen in and enjoy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

I was very unhappy in my corporate life, the thing that made me happy was my social media and I was building a following.

I always knew I wanted to do well and be successful but I thought that to have your own business you had to be an inventor.

Having your own business

For me, it’s the freedom I hate people telling me what to do.

In my corporate job, I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t work from home – where I could do it faster without the travel or distractions of others.

Building a brand online

When building a business online you need to be solving a particular problem for a particular person.

It’s about communicating very clearly how that product or service is going to change that person’s life.

In your industry, you need to know your niche, the problem and the solution.

What vehicle are you going to use solve the problem? there are different solutions and you need to choose the one that suits you best.

You want to make sure people get the fastest results with the services you are offering.

Building the brand is more important than building a physical or tangible product.

Rebranding

Making sure your brand is easy to understand is vital so your audience doesn’t become exhausted.

When I complete a rebrand I take down everything from the previous brand otherwise you can become attached and use up valuable time going over earlier content changing intros and the brand name.

Leveraging and outsourcing

Taking clients through a specific set of steps is the most sensible way for coaches instructors. When you have developed a system that works it can be effectively used repeatedly.

You can provide personal touchstones but it doesn’t need to be radically different for each client.

I’ve been able to leverage my business by creating a repeatable process that everyone goes through.

We have been able to do this because of our core messaging - we help people start high ticket online coaching companies and having a very clear message ensures we attract a very specific group.

Assign responsibility not tasks

All of the people in my team are contractors and I assign responsibilities, not tasks. You need to know what people are motivated by and use this to drive things forward.

When you assign people a task they just feel like a cog in a bigger machine when you assign responsibility, people take on a level of ownership.

Making an impact

For me, its hearing about how I’m changing people’s lives I’m not really motivated by money

It’s my impact on other people that really matters.

I always want to be better than I was the day before, you can change your life if you have intentional action.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I’m not an employable person’

‘As the business owner, you have to hold your ground’

‘Just pick the thing you do the best and are passionate about’

‘People don’t aim at a specific person or solving a particular problem’

‘I used to take it all way too seriously before I separated my business and personal brand’

Finding The Right Business Partner & People For You And Your Business

Thu, 10 Oct 2019 23:00:00 -0000

How much do we need to know about the people we’re in business with? How compatible do we need to be?

In this episode, Catherine discusses her own experiences in choosing the right people to go into business with, and the qualities she recommends you look for in the people with whom you’ll be sharing your professional life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Catherine and her first business partner, her mother, were a little too similar in terms of personality and strengths. This was not the required formula. Business work better when each partner has different strengths and weaknesses.
Getting along with like-minded, similar people to yourself, can be attractive. but it can cause tension later on, as you’ll both want to do the same tasks, and put off the same tasks.
Similar values that are core to your business are far more important. Viewpoints on customer service and value, creativity and inspiration are necessities.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We’d already figured out that we made a good partnership in life’

‘You want to be making sure their strengths are your weaknesses, and that weaknesses are your strengths’

‘Having that first discussion around vision and values is a really simple test’

‘Your gut and intuition are a great tool'

Ways To Help Your Mental Health (PLUS Special Podcast-Only Bonus)

Tue, 08 Oct 2019 11:44:32 -0000

It’s okay not to be okay.

Building a business, being a parent, or just travelling through each day of your life can sometimes be a very lonely process. Sometimes things get a little overwhelming, and even though on the outside we might project an image of coping and happiness, internally, we can be screaming for help.

Catherine knows this struggle all too well, and has always been frank about her own mental health battles. In this special, candid episode, she offers her thanks for the recent outpouring of support she received during a particularly dark time, as well as some pointers on how you can rise above when the time comes.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Getting back to the things that make you personally happy is essential. De-cluttering, reading, nurturing your health and taking time out for yourself, are all ways to incrementally improve your mental wellbeing.
The simple act of vocalising our pain can often help us to move past it. If you’re feeling lost, reach out to someone.
It’s at times like these that you realise the importance of having a valuable and effective team around you, so that you can leave business matters in their hands, should you need to step away temporarily.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Whatever stage of life you’re at, we can all have days when we feel extra blue’

‘I’m really open to new things’

’There are other people out there feeling the same, so reach out’

I'm Suffering Today...And it's ok Not to be ok [Mental Health Special]

Thu, 26 Sep 2019 23:00:00 -0000

I'm really struggling today.

If I'm honest with myself, it started a couple of weeks ago. I've taken myself off to the doctor's today & am getting a full set of blood works done to see what needs a boost.

The trouble is, with a lack of energy & drive and just about keeping it together for my kids, the build up of tiredness starts to affect my mental health & from experience it can go down hill fast.

That's why I seek help as soon as possible, why I (now) tell my husband, because having suffered with clinical depression in the past I never want it to get to that point ever again.

I don't write this for pity or sympathy, but to show it's ok not to be ok. But it's not ok to suffer in silence, because I tried that & that didn't work.

I write this for all the people who can't write this right now, who just want the ground to swallow them up, because I've been there too. When you feel like you don't have a voice & your screaming on the inside, but nothing's coming out.

I write this for all the people who feel ashamed, like a failure, like there is something wrong with them, because I've felt all that too.

I also write this for all the people who don't know what to say to the loved one going through something similar, who want to 'fix' them, help them.

The biggest help is just being there, showing up & listening when that person is ready to talk.

When I first sought help for mental health issues when I was 21 I would never have been able to write this, share this, be so open. So I do this also for 21 year old me, to say it's ok, it does get better.

Not every day is sunshine & roses, but what you go through makes you the person you are going to be and that's pretty darn good!

I am extremely grateful for the life I have, my kids, my husband, my friends. I know others are not so lucky.But I do know this, everyone has a reason to live for, whether it's obvious or not, please know you are valued, loved, unique & wonderful.

So do reach out, show up, send a message to let that person know you are thinking of them.

Not because it's mental health awareness day/week/month, but because people are suffering everyday.

Mental health issues touch everyone & because nothing is more important.

To all my family & friends currently suffering, I love you, I understand & it will be ok, I promise.

Throwback Ep! Playing To Your Strengths

Thu, 19 Sep 2019 23:00:00 -0000

BE SMART & PLAY TO YOUR STRENGTHS...
As entrepreneurs, it is so important to play to your strengths and to outsource your weaknesses. Why? Well by using the majority of your time utilising your strengths, you can ensure that you are making the maximum amount of progress possible.

I recorded this episode over a year ago, but I think the message is an important one & something I remind myself & those around me of all the time.

So, I thought I'd give it another airing as I recently posted about this subject on social media & it got a great reaction. There are practical questions within the episode to ask yourself & make sure you are playing to your strengths! Enjoy!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

To help find and define your strengths,Catherine takes you through a number of questions and ideas for you to think about, and ultimately, answer, which will help you tune into what you're good at, and what you should ultimately, leverage your weaknesses so as to grow, expand and even scale your business into new areas and new business ideas and thus, create the lifestyle that you want.

How to Make a Difference & Make Money: My Interview With The M.A.D. Millionaire Maker, Dillon Dhanecha

Thu, 12 Sep 2019 23:00:00 -0000

How can you leverage your capital so you can reach and help more people?

In this episode of the Leveraged Lifestyle Podcast, Catherine talks to Dillon Dhanecha, a trader and a philanthropist on the importance of doing both: making money and making a difference in the world.

Dillon is all about serving humanity while you grow your unlimited wealth. It’s more fulfilling if we put unparalleled service to others at the core of our ultimate goal. In fact, he has been training socially-minded people grow their capital fast. Discover and be inspired today to make that difference in someone’s life.

Also, Dillon Dhanecha will be a speaker at the LEVERAGED LIFESTYLE SUMMIT 2019 with your host Catherine Turner so make sure to reserve your tickets at bit.ly/llsummit2019.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Dillon’s family were refugees from Uganda in the UK. His roots always remind him of the privilege he’s experiencing right now. He never forgets that there are people who still have it at worst and that even his little help will bring a big difference in their lives.
Don’t allow any money problems or relationship problems question your self-worth. There will always be challenges—they are part of your learning, your development, and your success. If we allow those bits of mistakes bring imbalance, then we can never arrive to what we want to achieve.
To make a dent in someone’s life, you got to have all the means necessary. Here, money plays a big role on how to reach them. Aiming to be wealthy to help other people, aside from being financially free, is very fulfilling.
What does Dillon leverage inside his business? Aside from your expertise and knowledge, it’s important to be consistent—consistency is the key, especially when he was growing his trading academy. He sees to it he put out different courses, different choices for those who are interested.
Dillon’s pieces of advice:
- Leverage your wealth as much as you can, as long as you can.
- Decide with your heart, execute with your brain.
- Do it all now, all at once, especially if it will create something sustainable.
Who inspires Dillon? The global business owners who put the mission of serving other people at the centre of their business.
Worst piece of advice Dillon got: not taking risks
What one problem in this world would Dillon like to solve? He wants every single person in the world to have access to the first level in the Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs so everyone can possibly achieve self-actualisation.

BEST MOMENTS

“Leveraging capital, to do it effectively, really needs a long view.”
“When you’re doing well financially, you’re on top of the world.”
“It’s okay to be growing in a way that there are down periods.”
“You can’t make a difference without making money and you can’t make money without making a difference.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Dillon Dhanecha

Is self-inflicted poverty an abuse of first-world privilege? Does charity really begin at home? Or does it begin with those less fortunate than you? And where does being a MAD Millionaire feature in to a more socially-just planet? If you've ever grappled with the conflict between making money or making a difference, you'll love what Dillon Dhanecha has to share! Since returning from Rwanda on mission with the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), Dillon realised deep truth in his Father’s words "you can't help the poor by being poor” and in his Mother’s teachings that “privilege is a power never to be dismissed". Repeatedly giving away money that he didn't have, to people he thought needed it more than him, Dillon accrued £107,000 personal debt and was forced to return home with a bruised ego, empty wallet and heavy heart. On the long road home, he realised the choice ahead of him; continue to live in self-inflicted poverty or get strong and give strong to leave a lasting legacy. It was the right choice. In this interview, Dillon shares his personal experiences of what it takes to build a life filled to the brim with income, impact and influence. In his own words, you really can have your cake, eat it AND share it! With over 20 years experience as trader and philanthropist, Dillon also teaches other socially-minded individuals how to trade the markets and is on mission to create 10,000 MAD Millionaires over the next 10 years.

How to Systemise, Outsource & Scale your Business - Live Talk at Birmingham PPN

Thu, 05 Sep 2019 23:00:00 -0000

In this live session at the Birmingham PPN event, Catherine explains in detail how to Systemise, Outsource and Scale your business effectively.

SOS will enable you to move to the next level and through effective leveraging concentrate on the highest income-generating tasks and doing what you want to do.

If you want to build a business that you can work on not in then this podcast is a must and offers something for every business entrepreneur, whether you are just about to begin your journey or are already on your way.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

SOS (Systemise, Outsource, Scale) has allowed us to work on the business, not in the business.

SYSTEMS

Email systems - Create a folder system that can be continued by your virtual assistant or PA when you employ one.
Post management - Divert post to UK post box where business post is scanned and filed to Dropbox, the VA can then send it to the relevant team member.
Expenses - Invest in an online accounting system such as ‘Zero’ and use the App on your phone. If you set up the categories from day one you can photograph the receipt and then dispose of it.

OUTSOURCING

There are different outsourcers but we effectively work with virtual assistants across a range of areas in our business.

Anything that is online-based can be dealt with by virtual assistants.
Most of our virtual assistants work full time on a 40-hour week
We work mostly with Pilipino VA’s they provide great value for money, have an excellent work ethic and the quality of work is very good.
We’ve helped hundreds of other businesses hire VAs and have created The VIVA (very important virtual assistant) Club to facilitate the effective hiring of virtual assistants.
To work out what you need a VA to do in your business, check your hours' tracker, your leveraged manage to-do list and identify the reoccurring tasks in your business.

It’s vital to be really specific about what you need a virtual assistant to do within your business.
Our experience with VAs over the last 5 years has taken our business to a scale and level we couldn’t have achieved otherwise.
SCALE
If you have hired VAs or team members you can concentrate on your important and highest IGTs ( income-generating tasks)
The next level only comes when you are able to work ON the business not IN the business and this is not possible without a team in place.

Keep monitoring and testing through the end of day reports, weekly reports and quarterly reviews and work with people who’ve scaled to where you want to be.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We’ve automated the process to make finding the VA you need for your business super easy’

‘For us, she is integral to our business and she loves being an important part and making a difference’

‘They are in our business day to day and know it really well, we encourage feedback’

12 Top Tips to Create Your Optimal Routine

Thu, 29 Aug 2019 23:00:00 -0000

This episode focuses on the importance of optimal routines for the successful entrepreneur. The work environment of an employee typically involves regular interaction with others and is usually defined by rules, routine and set times.

As your own boss you will be able to make your own rules, if you are no longer required to work a 9 to 5 day when should you be working?

Catherine shares some great advice and tips on how to establish an optimal routine and find a balance that’s right for you as an entrepreneur.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

As your own boss, you will be able to make your own rules but there are challenges.
Are you working the hours you need to, to get the business up and running?
What hours am I working? what am I doing in those hours? keeping a work log will help you to define how your time is being used and if it is driving your business forward and bringing in an income.
It about achieving a balance - working on the right areas and tasks whilst not working every hour available.
Create a routine that works around your circadian rhythm and facilitates you working at your optimum times.

Start with a good morning routine that works for you.
Do not be at the whim of others, turning off technology can ensure you start your working day when you choose.
Check when your most productive times of the day are and schedule high-value income-generating tasks (IGT).
If you are an early bird or night owl then use these times to get ahead and be productive when others aren’t working.
Try methods such as the Pomodoro method to ensure you work with optimum productivity over longer time periods.
Make sure you take regular breaks from your screen, digital downtime throughout the day is vital.
Grouping similar task types together can help with the flow of productivity.
Get into action early, write down the tasks for the day and organise your time to deal with the big tasks or the ones you’ve been putting off first.
Record your tasks, making notes as you are working in anticipation of being able to outsource them later.
Use an online sharable calendar in anticipation of working with others. Getting everything important on the calendar ensures you are getting the most from your day.
Use the rock, pebbles, sand, water principle for planning, giving priority to what’s important in your life.
When it is not a working day aim to switch off, reset and recharge when it is your own business it can be all-consuming but it’s vital to take time away for your mental wellbeing.

Find a routine and take action that’s right for you there is no such thing as time management it is all about how you manage time and make sure time is not managing you.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Initially, you may find things move to a situation of extremes either not working enough hours or working every hour possible’

‘After taking into consideration the times at which you can interact with others and your family how you structure your time is a choice’

‘If it’s a big and ugly task make sure you are chunking it down’

The 3 biggest challenges when transitioning from being employed to your own boss

Fri, 23 Aug 2019 13:01:58 -0000

Going from being employed to self-employed can be a daunting prospect. Catherine conquered her doubts, made the move, and has never looked back since.

In this special episode of Leveraged Lifestyle, Catherine looks at the three biggest challenges during the process, and offers practical advice on how to overcome them, and by doing so, achieve the leveraged lifestyle you’ve always dreamed about.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The three main challenges you’ll come up against when transitioning from employed to self-employed are: Environment, People, and Routine.
Environment is incredibly important in establishing your productivity levels and work levels. It’s incredibly important to treat your new working space as just that. Try not to introduce too many comforts as it can lead to distraction, which will negatively impact your productivity.
Getting away from your computer screen is a great idea, and can refresh you after hours at work. Proper breaks help you refocus and allows your mind to realign.
Encourage hot-desking - Especially in an office environment, you can sometimes get a little too comfortable. Regular changes of your environment will, again, allow you to shake things up. Sharing also encourages you to keep your workspace tidy and clutter-free.
Try working in different places - Some great places to get work done include:
- Coffee shops - They often have free wi-fi (although take care when using public internet), and as well as having your favourite drinks on hand, you can generally find yourself left alone to work in peace.
- Hotels - Again, it’s easy to disappear in a hotel and get work done, whether in your room, the cafe, or the main lobby area.
- The gym - Combine a workout with your workload.
- Art gallery - Depending on the type of gallery, these can be peaceful, inspiring places to get some work done.
- Libraries - Local libraries have desk space set aside for people to use for studying.
- Restaurants - Over a meal, you can have fascinating and productive discussions.
- Professional workspaces - You can often find local workspaces for hire, which are custom built for business needs and can allow a degree of networking to take place.
- Private clubs - These can be a wonderful place to bring clients to, as they can add a level of gravitas to your image.
Sometimes it can be far more beneficial to cut yourself off from the internet by finding for yourself a Wi-Fi free location. A distraction-free work session with no opportunity for procrastination can allow you to focus entirely on the job at hand and get your most valuable work done.
People often don’t realise that when you go from a work environment to one of self-employment, the lack of regular human contact can have an effect on your mental health, on your focus, and your productivity. If you find this is becoming an issue for you, then maybe it’s time for you to try working in one of Catherine’s suggested environments.

BEST MOMENTS

‘One of the things I realised is that I had to change up my environment’

‘A clutter-free environment leads to a clutter-free mind’

‘Go and find a space that really lights you up’

‘Being an entrepreneur can be a lonely journey'

Action! Easy Ways to Create Systems, Processes, & Checklists For Your Business

Thu, 15 Aug 2019 23:00:00 -0000

This is the first episode of Catherine’s shorter ‘action episodes’. In this particular episode, Catherine covers the importance of having systems and processes and how you can start implementing them into your business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Action episodes will be short, snappy and straight to the point so that you can listen to the episodes and know exactly what you can go away and do to help you live your Leveraged Lifestyle.
Make sure you have your notification turned on for when the Leveraged Lifestyle Summit tickets go live for 2019.

Take a task that you’re doing anyway and start making a checklist of what’s going on and what you’re doing. You could screen record, audio record or voice memo what you’re doing for example.
If you have a staff member or VA, talk through the task with them then ask them to record the process.
Set yourself a goal of doing this once a day with a staff member or VA, one chunk at a time. Taking notes on Evernote can be a good way of recording things that’s easily accessible to multiple people.
Test your checklist and repeat it until it’s exactly how it should be. You could get your VA to try use your checklist or have a staff member test it so you can tweak until perfect.

BEST MOMENTS

‘There is no better time than now to create your leveraged lifestyle.’

‘Don’t try do all of your checklists all at once.’

‘Outsource to your staff or VA’s.’

The 4 steps to Banish Confusion & Get in Action

Thu, 08 Aug 2019 23:00:00 -0000

Confusion can be one of those states where your emotion and feeling can stop you from leading your leverage lifestyle. It can mean that you don’t move onto your next steps and it can actually become a bit of a nemesis. Here are some helpful ways to overcome confusion…

KEY TAKEAWAYS

In episode 9 we looked at VVKIK’s, these can help you gain clarity of what the next step needs to be for you. Look back at your vision, values and key results areas. Look at the key results that need to be achieved within each department within your business.
Drop, let go and say no to any non KIK’s or non-generating KRA’s or IGT’s. Being polite and saying no or delegating these tasks on could be a great way to get rid of tasks that may be causing the confusion.

Go back and prioritise because it may just be that you are lacking clarity on what task you need to do next. The easiest way to do this is to look at your 'highest income-generating' tasks (IGT’s and KRA areas).
Take action now on the first task that you can or feel like you can manage. It can give you more life, clarity and feeling of achievement which can make you want to do the next one and the next one and the next one.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Every person within your business should have their key results areas and be aware of them.’

‘Work on the areas that you play well on.’

‘In the morning do the biggest or scariest task that you need to do first.’

‘If you can get in action and start that task it can get the ball rolling.’

‘Start gaining traction.’

Thu, 01 Aug 2019 23:00:00 -0000

Catherine is with a live audience sharing her expertise and experience on the best way to launch a successful podcast and achieve No.1 in your niche.

Having a social media presence is key for any entrepreneur and this podcast shares the 6 steps that must be completed for the successful launch of a podcast.

Catherine explains the preparation and timeline for action that must be taken to ensure the launch of any podcast will be positive and productive.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Giving people a compelling reason to subscribe to your podcast is extremely beneficial

In a launch, an element of time sensitivity is vital to get people to take action and subscribe.

Build followers before your launch through consistent posting and get set up on all the social media platforms.

1.Pre, pre-launch – 3 months out

This is about sharing the concept, getting opinions on visuals and other aspects such as branding colours.

2. Pre-launch phase - 10 - 14 days out

Build intrigue, hunger and desire, why they would want to come and listen to your podcast?

Publish an official statement explaining, what’s it all about and the bonuses that will be on offer on launch day.

In days prior to launch post every day across all your social media platforms.

3. Official opening of your subscription

Make sure your podcast is available across all platforms.

Post at least 3 times across all your social media platforms on the day of the launch.

Be clear about the close for bonuses and what they have to do to qualify for the bonus offer.

4. The close

Let people know you’ve closed the bonuses. Notifying ensures everyone it’s been fair and equitable.

The close rewards the action takers who subscribed early and lets people know you are true to your word with a limited time offer.

5. Re-open

Have an official re-open to allow those who missed out the first time to subscribe.

You can offer the same or a different bonus to reward your current subscribers and get new subscribers to take action.

6. Re launch - every 3 - 6 months

The podcast can be organised as a series with a relaunch to begin each new series

You will need something merit-based to reward existing subscribers and bring in new subscribers.

BEST MOMENTS

‘There are lots of options such as online training, a specific download, an invite to an upcoming event’

‘With a podcast launch, the optimum window is a 24-hour period’

‘As part of the launch you could have everyone gets something, but the first 20 responders get something of a higher value’

You Asked, I Answered - One Year of Leveraged Lifestyle - Special Anniversary Episode

Fri, 26 Jul 2019 09:33:40 -0000

In this special anniversary episode of Leveraged Lifestyle, Catherine is turning the role of interviewer over to you the audience!

You’ve been sending in your questions over the past few weeks, and Catherine is here to answer as many as she can, including queries about how to keep going when things get tough, how to balance work with young children, the systems that Catherine relies upon, and tactics to help you overcome mental barriers.

So welcome along to this very special edition of Leveraged Lifestyle, where all those burning questions you’ve had will finally be answered!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Catherine was inspired to start a podcast after seeing what it did for the branding and reach of her mentor and inspiration, Rob Moore. Podcasting is an invaluable way of connecting on a very deep level with your audience.
Podcasting is also a way of providing valuable content on a regular basis, that can be then repurposed into different forms, so as to reach new potential audiences on different platforms.
The key to a successful podcast is consistency and timing. Make sure you’re regular and try to set the length of each show to a standard. Catherine’s solo shows run to about thirty minutes, while her interview shows run to about an hour. Also, make sure you get the word out about your show!
Before starting a podcast, it’s worth establishing your concept, and working out who your audience is and how best to reach them.
Being kind to yourself should be an essential part of your day. We are our own worst critics, and should always try to cultivate a love for ourselves as part of our daily routine. Don’t beat yourself up when things don’t go to plan.
Quitting your job to follow your entrepreneurial dreams might not always be the right thing to do. Work out the numbers, and crucially, decide whether or not it’ll help your business if you’re putting more time into it. If you decide that you need to be fully free to focus on your business, then make sure the numbers work and go for it.
Work out your busiest times of day, or the periods in which you’re essentially out of action, and schedule around them. If you have an energy dip that occurs regularly, make sure you don’t plan anything too busy or taxing at that time.
To keep going when things get hard, Catherine advises checking your perspective. What are your goals? Who are you? Where are you aiming for? What is your value?
Real breakthroughs come when we begin to outsource the tasks that we believe only we are capable of. Leveraging minor tasks is easy as they’re mostly basic and can be fulfilled by most people, but delegating important, more specialist tasks really allows us to feel the power of true leverage.
The key to working while bringing up a toddler is to tap into the help that’s around you, whether that’s free or paid for. Creating time for yourself and the business is essential, so don’t be afraid to leverage friends, family, nannies or nursery time in order to make time for yourself. It’s also great for your toddler!

BEST MOMENTS

‘Podcasting is such a growing medium and a way to really connect really deeply with your audience’

‘People will come for the concept but they’ll stay for the content’

‘We are our own worst critics at times’

‘You’re not going to get it perfect every day. Do not beat yourself up over that’

‘It’s about having other people around you that you can use as a soundboard’

‘Perspective is something I draw on a lot’

‘I want to create a planet that thrives, not just survives’

‘Business time is business time. Family time is family time'

‘If you’re worrying about the smaller things, you can never be working on the bigger things'

Wheel of Life, Zero Based Working Week And Swollen Knees

Sun, 21 Jul 2019 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode of Leveraged Lifestyle Catherine announces her new publish day of Fridays. This includes a double episode this week alongside lots of competitions and prizes to get involved in!

Also discussed in this episode is how you can use a wheel of life to organise your time effectively. This is so that all of the important personal areas of your life are being paid attention to in the correct amounts as well as your professional life too.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Take learnings from life and listen to when you need to just slow down or take a break.
I’ve recently recorded an interview with Katrina Jones which is a fantastic episodes focused around how she built her business hand free. Check it out if you haven’t already, it’s definitely worth listening to.
Create a 0 base for your working week and your life so you know whether you’re on the right track.
A wheel of life can help you to organise your week well:
The wheel is made up of 8 important areas of your life.
If you want to include business in your wheel, then this should go very last.
Ask yourself what it would look like if all of these 8 areas were working well or looked really good to you.
Make it really personal to you.
Using your wheel, take your week/month view of your personal life, book it all into your calendar then arrange your business segment of your wheel in.
If you find that you’ve only got, for example 5 hours a day, to focus on your business then at least you know they should be the most productive hours. Which will help you feel fulfilled and nourished.
We’re changing the release days of this podcast to Friday mornings (Thursday’s midnight). This week we will be having 2 episodes to celebrate the 1-year birthday of this podcast!
There will be competitions and prizes in the next few weeks to celebrate, so make sure you’re in the Leveraged Lifestyle community to join in!

BEST MOMENTS

‘Life definitely has a way of telling you to slow down, that’s for sure.’

‘If you’re not earning you’re learning.’

‘Business will go through peaks and tofts and so will your involvement.’

‘You should be working ON your business not IN your business.’

Leverage Your Way to a Hands-Free Business. With R2R HMO Expert Katrina Jones

Sun, 14 Jul 2019 23:00:00 -0000

Growth Never Happens Inside Your Comfort Zone – with Katrina Jones

Over the last five years, Katrina Jones has built a multi-million-pound property business and now devotes herself to educating others in the rent-to-rent HMO strategy in particular.

Katrina has built her success by constantly learning, adopting a unique mindset, coaching others, and most importantly, by using the power of leverage to achieve her goals in not just business, but life.

Join Catherine and Katrina for this special episode, delving into the many shared insights and the vast array of knowledge they’ve both accumulated through their remarkably similar journeys.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Upon returning from a successful, but an overwhelmingly full-time career in Australia, Katrina decided to begin a new path in property, specifically Rent-To-Rent HMO, and devoted herself to learning the many strategies involved. After founding Kendall Bailey, an entirely Rent-To-Rent business, she suddenly discovered that she was again working an overwhelmingly full-time job. It was then that she discovered the power of leverage.
By systemising the company and hiring the right team, Katrina found that she could become more hands-off, while still watching as the company flourished and grew on its own. This has allowed her to set up Kendall Bailey Education, and take more of an advisory role.
Establishing clarity on why you are setting out on an entrepreneurial journey is paramount in Katrina’s view, as well as where you want to take it. Achieving anything takes time and energy, and by identifying our goals and reasons clearly, we can make sure we don’t waste any of that precious energy.
Having a mentor and providing yourself with the right education is another key factor in achieving growth. It’s vital that you understand the business model and investment strategy you’re about to use. If you don’t then you’re essentially wasting time and money. A mentor can be there to offer guidance, wisdom, and reassurance through the tough times.
Growth never happens inside your comfort zone. Katrina’s success did not come from playing it safe or never chasing her ambitions. Despite suffering from anxiety, Katrina determined to push through and turned a potentially terrifying new career in face-to-face sales into a lesson in facing her fears.
When it comes to speaking to agents, remember that the person on the other end of the phone has no idea what you are supposed to say. There is no wrong script. You can even practice on agents in different areas until you build your confidence.
Hiring team members to run her business on her behalf took a great deal of soul-searching, but Katrina came to the realisation that hiring those with higher skillsets was born out of recognising her own strengths, and not pretending that her weaknesses were also her strengths. As Katrina says, “The smartest people hire those who are even smarter”. A business will never be hands-free for you if you’re the smartest person there.
When you’re interviewing, use your instincts and your common sense to determine if your candidate is the type of person who’ll be taking your knowledge and setting up for themselves. It’s very rare for this to happen, and requires a certain type of person. You can also make your decision based on asking what the person wants long term from your company, and by looking at their work history.
Entrepreneurs often feel as if those closest to us, such as parents, are filled with negativity regarding our chosen vocation in life. But quite often, if we look properly, we can see that their concerns come from a place of love and care. It’s only right that a parent should be concerned that we are taking financial risks. Try to see their point of view.
Another way of dealing with the doubts of others is to use that energy to spur yourself on to succeed. Prove the doubters wrong. Be inspired by the doubts of others. Surround yourself with people who have achieved things, and feed from that energy.
Not only is it okay not to be the best at everything, it’s impossible for it be any other way. For every strength there will always be a weakness, and it’s important to be brutally honest with yourself about what those weaknesses are. Work on your strengths and find someone else to work on the things you’re weak at.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you don’t know why or where you’re going, then it’s like getting on a bus with no destination. It’s a waste of time’

‘It takes a lot of energy and focus to really create something incredible’

‘It’s self-sabotage to try and do it on your own’

‘If you are unaware of the things a mentor can teach you, then it’s a thousand times more important to get one’

‘Growth never happens inside your comfort zone’

‘The smartest people hire people who are smarter than them’

‘You have to do it to go through it’

‘If you’re networking and you’re the smartest person in the room, then you’re in the wrong room’

‘Don’t stop people from doing what they’re doing, just because you can’t do it’

‘I don’t have any ego around holding up my hands and saying that I’m an awful manager. Because I’m just too nice!’

Creating Work, Life & Family Balance

Sun, 30 Jun 2019 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Catherine shares her experience of having 2 children under 2 and running multiple businesses.

Many entrepreneurs are in this position and Catherine has put together practical advice that can be implemented immediately for anyone seeking a work, life and family balance.

The focus is on really thinking about your ‘why’, time restraints and gaining balance. Entrepreneurs stop being employees in order to achieve a better balance so listen in and find out how to move closer to yours.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Getting the balance right is important whatever position you are in and these tips will ensure you are creating the necessary balance between your business, family and personal life.

Aim to keep business and family time separate

Be present when you are with family and make sure you are not distracted. It's important that when you are with your family they are the centre of your focus.

Time does fly

Time goes quickly and it is precious. Remember to enjoy the journey and process along the way.

Have you and your partner play to your strengths and divide the roles

Make sure you are playing to your strengths and bring in others to both enhance your strengths and help in areas within the business where you are less skilled.

Take all the help that is offered

Just say yes, there are many reasons why you might say no – pride, thinking you can do it all.

If you are offered help in the form of a mentor, childcare or time then say yes and remember to ask for help when you need it.

Remember your ‘why’

Why are you building a business? Why are you doing what you are doing every day? It's important to enjoy the journey and the process but remember to switch off.

If it's about living a leveraged lifestyle, having time with your children and living the life that you want it’s important to remember that’s your ‘why’

No one has got this stuff 100% sorted out

Whether it's running a business, raising a family or all of the above, no one has it all figured out go with the flow do what you need to do now, tomorrow is another day.

It’s all about leverage

Leverage as much as you can. Whatever the area, at work or at home you can get jobs completed by someone else and use technology to make tasks quicker and more efficient.

It’s all about separating time and creating the balance, you are your business owner and you get to choose.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I'm daring myself to get out there more and share the insights and my experience of running a business’

‘Being a parent in its self is a huge achievement so be kind to yourself on the journey because It's too easy to berate ourselves for the things we didn’t get done’

‘You got out of being an employee for a reason’

‘It will be difficult but remember your ‘why’ everyday’

Leveraged Lifestyle & The Property Nomads Joint Episode

Sun, 23 Jun 2019 23:00:00 -0000

In this very special episode, The Leveraged Lifestyle Podcast meets The Property Nomads to mix it up and share their wealth of knowledge with each other’s audiences!

Catherine is joined by Rob Smallbone, avid traveller, property investor, entrepreneur, and fellow podcast evangelist for anyone looking to make the leap into a leveraged lifestyle through investment and determination.

Both Catherine and Rob are fierce proponents of shaping their own destinies, and have each settled upon different strategies in order to ensure that they and those they love can enjoy the lives they choose. Listen now as they both share the stories of their personal journeys, as well as practical and heartfelt advice on how you can do the same.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Rob spent much of his formative years on the road, making his way from country to country, ultimately visiting forty-five on his way to finding himself. When he returned from his travels, he determined to change his life for the better, and found a business of his own rather than go back to full-time employment.
A leveraged lifestyle will mean different things to different people. For some it’s financial freedom, for others it’s about balance and family, while for others it might be the freedom to travel or enjoy life at their own pace.
One of the main issues for those in the property business, and especially the serviced accommodation business, can be that when you are let down by your team, you may have to fill in yourselves. For those who are often travelling, or even running things from a remote location, this can be a problem as they’re simply not present. It’s vitally important to make sure you have a strong team. Having a power team behind you who can take responsibility for sudden cracks in the business will ensure that your life can continue when problems arise.
You also need to separate yourself from operations gradually. It’s no good simply dropping everything at once. Rob recommends stepping away for one day a week, then two, and slowly building up your freedom. This will allow your power team and operations to acclimatise to their new responsibilities.
Focus is very important, especially at the beginning. It’s all about identifying your values and goals. It’s also about focussing on your strategy and sticking to it. Dissuade yourself from chasing “shiny penny after shiny penny”.
Catherine’s business mission statement is “Empowering people to live the life of their dreams”. This is a purposefully broad statement that allows Catherine to operate in any way she chooses (podcasting, networking), but always with the same aim. By creating the lifestyle of her dreams, Catherine is now able to focus more of her time into her passion, namely sustainability and global concerns.
Both Catherine and Rob stress the importance of learning from others, whether that’s a mentor, or even someone you simply admire in business. By learning from the path they’ve walked, we can save ourselves the pain of learning the hard way.
You are 100% responsible for everything that happens in your life. This can be terrifying to some, especially those who prefer to see themselves as a victim. But it’s also a very powerful message that can have an extraordinarily empowering effect upon your life. Use it as a spur to kick-start your dream life as soon as possible.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Variety is the spice of life!’

‘Education is key, making sure you do it the right way’

‘If you’ve given people the right instructions, then that should make your life that bit easier’

‘I think if you’re really set on what your mission and values are, then it’ll be a lot clearer’

‘Our vision is to bring the world to you’

‘Success can mean whatever you want it to mean’

‘Create a planet that not only survives but thrives’

‘Learn from others’ mistakes. Don’t learn from your mistakes’

‘Inspiration and creativity go to die in your comfort zone’

‘I’m a huge believer in things happen for a reason’

‘Life is short. It’s precious’

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Is having a social media presence vital in business today?

Visibility equals credibility and applies both online and offline for any successful business.
We attended all the network meetings we could to build our brand.
We were also able to meet and form relationships with thousands of people online.
Speed is everything and being online you can reach lots of different people instantly.
With Instagram, because of the content and value, you are sharing people will come to you and your business.
You can use Instagram as a central platform and repurpose content easily to other social media platforms.

What have you focused on?

As we were just starting out we documented everything we did in that day and how someone else who was behind us in the journey could do it.
It was all about free value and content, we received so much help on our journey that we wanted to give back.
I posted stories and we updated the documentation weekly and the numbers following steadily increased.
Followers are important but it is engagement and interaction that is key. Our engagement levels are around 10%.
It's the strategy behind pushing the product out, the social selling aspect rather than the direct pitch approach.
Proving the concept that if you have a good product, a good message and are able to provide consistent value for a period of time anyone can monetise Instagram.
Anyone can document the journey, what you are learning, how you are putting it into action, you can give value straight away.

What are your top tips?

The first question you need to ask is what value can you give?
Understanding what your true value is, what can you offer is key from the beginning.
How can I help someone move forward?
Defining your avatar – you will have all sorts of different people you can serve. If you map out your ideal client you can then create specific content for that target audience.
Look and review the outcomes and engagement this will help you to understand the performance of content and times that produce the best engagement.

What is your Masterclass?

Our masterclass goes right back to the beginning with the implementation of the account through to optimisation to ensure a good foundation to grow, nurture and grow relationships with your audience, how you turn them into loyal fans and finally how you can monetise it.

ABOUT THE GUEST

Chris Taylor

At the beginning of 2018, Chris decided that after 5 years working in the Corporate world that it was time for a change. It was in June 2018 that Chris realised that he had a true passion for social media and believed he understood the incredible benefits to both individuals and businesses if they learnt the best strategies to implement. He decided to throw everything he had into learning everything about social... with a specific focus on INSTAGRAM. Chris now helps businesses and individuals generate amazing profits through Instagram by teaching them a proven method for generating a consistent flow of new customers every single month.

Over the last 6 months, Chris has grown his own following organically to over 22,000, and now although this seems like a big number in a short period of time, the follower count isn’t the most important thing. Chris believes that having a big following is pointless if you cannot build the relationships to turn those followers into loyal customers. It is this process that has helped Chris’ business generate £20,000 in sales since January 29th with ZERO ads spend using only 1 product, and what has helped his Property business hit £200k in its first year!

Since starting his Instagram Consultancy at the beginning of 2019, Chris’ strategies have helped his clients increase their following to over 70,000 and generate over £50,000 in sales without a single penny being spent on advertising. Organic growth & engagement is Chris’ speciality!

He is now on a mission to show any business or individual that they can make huge amounts of profit with the right strategy using Instagram.

Sun, 26 May 2019 23:00:00 -0000

This episode continues the mini-series about how you can leverage your VA successfully to undertake tasks across social media platforms.

Catherine provides invaluable information and advice on how you can effectively gain more reach and followers on Twitter by using your VA to manage and post content consistently. Tune in to find out more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Twitter can be a great tool for you and your business to find the people who have a problem that you can solve.
Twitter can be viewed as social commentary platform but with the right tweets and engagement, you can use it effectively to gain new customers, retain your current customers and promote your business for free.
Your VA can effectively manage your Twitter feed and build it up as an effective tool for your business.
With Twitter, it is vital that you are posting continuously throughout the day. This can be achieved through your VA using scheduling software and posting in real time.
A VA can do this for you by repurposing content to make it relevant for Twitter and posting consistently throughout the day.
Your VA can reply to messages ensuring you are building relationships across the platform.
Images and videos provide dynamic content and can be used effectively to encourage engagement and followers.
It is not possible to do it all yourself so leveraging your Virtual Assistant is an effective way to increase your following and engagement across Twitter. It enables you to share your message and product effectively with others.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Its somewhere to find people asking questions, it's where what you are providing is the solution’

‘It can be really smart to have your VA take over your Twitter feed’

‘Consider posting multiple times a day on twitter so your customers can see you are active ‘

‘It can start to build relationships’

Systemising, Outsourcing & Scaling: A rare Interview With my Business Partner & husband, Stephen Turner

Sun, 19 May 2019 23:00:00 -0000

In this special episode, Catherine talks to her business partner, and husband, Stephen Turner.

Stephen’s beginnings were in finance, but as their property business began to grow, Stephen took more of an active role and is now the Operations Director. As the co-founder of the business, Stephen has a wealth of valuable insights to share, from everything to staff morale and working environments, to the best tips for dealing with tax.

Join this very special conversation, and learn how Stephen and Catherine built their rapidly expanding property business, and see if any of the lessons they learned can be applied to your business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Both Catherine and Stephen are always open to new opportunities and grab them whenever they present themselves. But they also realise the value in making sure that the right systems are in place to allow them to deal with these opportunities.
It’s very important to have the right team working for you. This allows you the freedom to leverage a business like SA management and also improves the skill set of your business by correctly utilising the expertise of your power team.
It can be nerve-wracking at the beginning of a business venture, to think about outgoing expenses, such as hiring a VA or a member of staff. But we need to remember that this is not a cost but an investment, and the time saved for you, or for your staff, can be re-focussed upon IGVs or KPIs.
Get a book-keeper, because they can run your finances, and give you the monthly reports that you need. Zero is a good cloud-based accountancy system that you can use in conjunction with your mobile phone.
Choose an accountant and consult with them regularly about any financial decisions, projects or restructuring. They may have invaluable advice on how to streamline the process, or even take further advantage of it in the long run.
Having an office base for their business happened because of growth, but also because of their rising staff numbers. Now that they have four office staff, Catherine and Stephen find that an office environment is beneficial not just in terms of meeting rooms, but also in terms of creating an affine environment for their staff. This is used as a place for them to motivate each other, to share ideas and to instantly connect.
The foundation of the business should be sales. As soon as the sales start going, all efforts should be made to keep and improve them. Identifying your unique selling point and making sure that this message is communicated clearly to potential clients, is also a fundamental tenet of starting a business.
Always make sure you’re budgeting for your tax expenses from the start, and always consult your accountant to make sure you’re paying the correct fees.
Make sure your entire team know your plan for the business - your aims, your destination, how big you want to get. What customer service levels you’d like to provide, and what sales targets you want to hit. This gives each team member a clearer image of what they are a part of and allows each individual to better define, personally, their own roles within your vision.
Regular communication between yourself and your team will allow you to better identify areas in which you can improve, from software and systems to conditions and requisitions.
Get on with it and give it a try. Remember that the time wasted while wondering whether or not to pursue a venture is time you’ll never get back, and time that could’ve been used to solve the problems that you’re imagining will arise.
Leveraging your lifestyle doesn’t necessarily mean leaving a job you love. It can also mean leveraging the tasks outside of work that you don’t enjoy, or that you feel could be performed in a better way by those more suited to the task.
To Stephen, a leveraged lifestyle is the privilege of being able to choose the path of each day as it comes, whether that is working on a project, improving a system, or spending time with family.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You can never predict when opportunity or growth is coming’

‘Leverage isn’t just about getting it off your plate’

‘You always pay upfront for education and the rewards come after’

‘Don’t just learn from your mistakes - learn from others’ mistakes so that you don’t have to make them’

‘Build trust as you go’

‘If you are hiring physical staff, you need to think about how those staff like to work’

‘Hiring is guessing and firing is knowing’

‘Hiring into chaos only creates more chaos’

‘If something scratches your own itch, then the likelihood is that it’ll solve someone else’s problem too’

Leveraging Facebook to Grow Your Presence & Influence Using a Virtual Assistant

Sun, 12 May 2019 23:00:00 -0000

‘It has the ability to connect you with a vast number of potential customers and clients’

In this episode of the mini-series, Catherine focuses on how a Virtual Assistant

can help you build your presence, brand and influence across Facebook and other social media platforms.

Facebook is the world’s largest and best targeted digital platform, it is a key place to have your content, listen in now to find out how using a VA can help you build and achieve presence and influence across this platform.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Facebook is currently the world’s largest social media platform boasting nearly

2 billion monthly active users, having a Facebook presence is a must for any business.

It's important to get as much content out there as possible, a VA can create new content using a strategy set by you or curate content from other platforms and effectively manage all published content including images and videos.
Having lots of different content in lots of different formats makes it possible for your VA to take it and repurpose it for a range of other platforms.
A VA can undertake key analysis providing information that can be used to ascertain potentially productive areas to focus on.
They can follow a set strategy to create and manage promotional campaigns.
A virtual assistant can develop and expand the community and outreach you have by joining and posting in a range of groups if it is relevant and meets the criteria set.
This is pure leverage; you are already creating the content so make it work more effectively and efficiently for you.
Facebook is a key place to have your content, it is a place where groups have different engagement times compared to pages and profiles so having a presence is vital for any business.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Having a virtual assistant is key so that you can progress forward’

‘It has the ability for you to connect with a vast number of your customers and clients, and potential customers with live streaming and e-commerce part of the experience’

Leveraging Your Content To Grow Your Brand And Followers

Sun, 05 May 2019 23:00:00 -0000

Growing your brand, influence and followers may sometimes seem like a daunting task, but maybe the tools are already in your hand.

By leveraging the content that you are already creating, by repurposing it across multiple platforms, we can supercharge our existing output, and grow our brand in the process by reaching new audiences, clients and customers.

In this episode, part of a new mini-series, Catherine shares the fundamentals of making sure your content flows through as many channels as possible.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

People don’t simply engage with one type of social media. By making sure that we are on as many different platforms as possible, we can ensure that our brand, that our message, will reach the maximum number of prospective followers.
Logo and branding is essential, and will act as your watermark across every social platform.
Filming your content opens up new avenues of user interaction. A blog can easily become a vlog, from which a YouTube channel or video podcast can be established. Plus the audio could be turned into an audio podcast.
Conversely, making transcripts of an audio or video show can allow you to repurpose your show the other way around. As well as providing a document that can be read, it can also help with SEO.
Live-streams on social platforms are a useful way of dynamically interacting with your audience, plus the platforms themselves love it, as you’re keeping users native.
Adding subtitles to videos is useful for clients and audience members who want to see what you’re doing, but who can’t have the sound on.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I truly believe that you need to be the majority of platforms out there so that you can be reaching these different audiences and demographics’

‘Get your thoughts straight out onto audio and film it’

‘We’re visual creatures at the end of the day’

‘There is no better time than now to start your leveraged lifestyle’

The Power of Leverage & Mentorship; The Business Mentor CROSSOVER!

Sun, 28 Apr 2019 23:00:00 -0000

The Power of Unity, Mentors and Leverage for the Entrepreneur

‘If you are not happy in what you are doing and feel you’ve got something inside you about wanting to have your own business then go and do it’

Catherine Turner and Jay Dhillon are in conversation discussing their entrepreneurial journeys and experience as mentors in this engaging episode.

They share a passion for mentoring and giving back, helping the next generation of entrepreneurs to achieve their dreams.

Listen in and be inspired to take action and begin your entrepreneurial journey.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The importance of Leveraging

Learning to leverage is a lifestyle and being able to do it effectively is beneficial to your mental health.
A lot of people don’t leverage in the right way or understand what leveraging is. It's important to leverage and systemise in the right way to gain the most impact.
Leveraging your lifestyle to make memories with your children and family is what is important. These memories are what we have and hold throughout our lives.

The journey of an Entrepreneur

If you are not happy in what you are doing and feel you’ve got something inside you about wanting to have your own business then take action and do it.
You need to keep going through the tough times, this is when you will be most challenged but is an opportunity for learning.
Do little things every day and momentum will build.
Catherine – there was a moment of realisation that I could either be stuck in a job I hated and didn’t feel passionate about and wasn’t working or I could go my own way and do something I felt passionate about, that’s how it all started, and property was my entry point.
Jay - I didn’t push my brand, I just wanted to build a business, but it is important to build your brand so getting out there and letting people know who you are and what you are doing is important to build your credibility and legacy.

The journey as an entrepreneur is about change, as the journey progresses your goals alter to be more focused on the long term and making a difference, contributing giving back

Mentoring and Mentees

A mentor has been there, done it, seen it, they can help you get through it.
It’s about sharing and passing on the 'knowledge'.
You have to have built a business before you are a mentor, it makes you more valuable.

You have got something to give because you’ve gone through it.
Having a mentor is about investing in yourself. When you are looking for a mentor, find someone who is living the lifestyle, you want someone who has achieved what you want to achieve.
It’s a 2-way thing both the mentor and mentees must be invested in making it work.
Mentoring and coaching are powerful because they hold you accountable.
As a mentor, it’s important for mentees to achieve, to have made something.

It's all about sharing and there is great unity in doing that.
If you are not happy in what you are doing and feel you’ve got something inside you about wanting to have your own business then go and do it.
You can achieve it in different ways, lots of people think you have to have money to make money but there is always a way to make money.
Whatever it is there is a way to start if you have it within you, an entrepreneurial spirit.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The power is in the action you take’

‘It’s your story that they are buying into’

‘You need to go through some challenges to learn and develop’

‘Go through your journey and when you are ready then undertake mentoring’

‘Hiring into chaos only creates more chaos. Making sure you have the systems in place and a plan is vital’

ABOUT THE HOST

Jay Dhillon is a serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist based in the UK with a proven track record of growing businesses from start-up to success- and helping others do the same. From humble beginnings, Jay grew his first business from 0-500 employees and three locations, racking up sales of over £30 million – all without any investment other than a small amount of savings. The business went on to acquire major clients such as Land Rover, Jaguar, Toyota and New Look, to name a few.

Its huge success inevitably brought about outside interest and at the age 33, Jay eventually sold the company to a London investment firm in Doyen Resources. Today, Jay owns several businesses in different sectors and helps entrepreneurs achieve success.

A calling to give back and help others led to Jay being chosen for the highly-coveted role as a Prince’s Trust mentor, where his achievements were marked by a personal invitation to Buckingham Palace to meet Prince Charles.

After helping several young entrepreneurs to success as a mentor for the Trust, Jay’s burning desire to bring his wisdom and knowledge to a wider audience ultimately triggered the concept of The Business Mentor Podcast.

Jay feels that anyone can achieve success in business with the right advice and mentoring and is now sharing his knowledge with his growing audience via his podcast.

In the UK alone 95% of business fail within the first five years and Jay’s aim is to reduce that number.

Backed with the hard-earned knowledge and experience from his time in business, The Business Mentor Podcast will share Jay’s personal business lessons as well those of other successful entrepreneur guests who share their wisdom and secrets on the show.

Beginning, Building and Belonging to the Progressive Mastermind Community

Sun, 21 Apr 2019 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Catherine Turner who has built both a successful Amazon business and Serviced Accommodation portfolio is in conversation with Peter Jones a long-standing property investor, Chartered Surveyor and author who has also built a successful property portfolio.

They discuss how Catherine moved from employee to successful entrepreneur and the importance of being part of a community.

This episode provides a candid account of both the successes and challenges that property entrepreneurs face. If you are considering property investment and want to achieve a successfully leveraged lifestyle then you need to listen in now.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

How long have you been in property?

I began educating myself about property investment at the end of 2011 and I initially began my property journey with a different training company. It provided a great deal of learning for me about what I wanted from a training company and I bought my first buy to let in 2012

What was different about the training at Progressive?

It is the community that makes it special. It’s the inspiration and support network that the community provides to every individual that is a part of it. It’s like having an extended family.

How did you get started?

The beginning stage included my mum and it was her property that was our first rental property. The plan was to earn more money from renting the property than it would cost to rent somewhere else.
It was a great learning experience and the first step, but part of the learning process was understanding that we didn’t work well together as business partners.
In a business partner, you need someone who is different to you, with differing strengths and weaknesses it is important that you compliment each other's skills.
My new business partner was my husband and as we didn’t have potential investors or finance within our family and friends we began initially to look at rent to rent HMO’s
We invested the capital from our own property and rented a property that met our needs.
We used the capital to buy and develop our first HMO and to joint ventured with someone else buying and flipping properties.
Your financial security is now in the properties that you have invested in rather than the property you are living in.
We undertook the management of properties and that experience helped me to realise that I wanted to be a property investor, not a property manager.

How important was the Mastermind Group?

Being part of the mastermind group helped my business partner and husband to see that property investment was a way of obtaining financial freedom.
We agreed that we wanted to get down to a 4-hour working week and have been able to achieve this.
We took our ideas for life leveraging to Rob Moore, who wanted to create a course that was practical and actionable and between us we created the Life Leverage online Master class.
It has helped so many people and the wide variety of people that we have had the opportunity to work with has been great.
It's an online course and, if you want to get in touch, joining the Facebook group will help you to find out more.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Knowing that people have got your back is massive support and makes a real difference’

‘It was an opportunity to dip our toes in and was a great learning experience and first step’

‘The first one is always the biggest learning curve’

‘I did a lot of research to ensure I was getting the best price and quality’

‘Bringing together rent to rent and serviced accommodation was the strategy for us and the one we are now developing’

Focus Your Way to a Leveraged Lifestyle

Sun, 07 Apr 2019 23:00:00 -0000

‘Chasing the shiny penny is not going to bring you a leveraged lifestyle’

In this episode Catherine explores focus – how can you find it and what does it mean?

If you want to understand how to develop multiple businesses with focus and following a clear strategy then this podcast is for you, listen in to find out more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The definition of focus is to follow one course until successful.
It’s also key to know when to quit. It's not about following something that doesn’t make you happy. It's about knowing when to review it, get another opinion and knowing when to quit.
A mentor can provide another skilled opinion, an overview to help you understand the bigger picture as this can be challenging when you are immersed in the daily routines and expectations of your business.
Your mentor will be someone who has been there and done it.
Part of focusing on the business you are in and want is understanding that you cannot compare yourself to anyone else along the way.
Compare yourself to yourself over time;
What have you achieved in the last year?
What are you doing now that you were not 12 months ago?
How have you grown both as an individual and as a business?
Use the 70-20-10 principle to have your main business then other ideas building in the background this makes it possible for you to move into them without going through an extensive learning curve across all businesses at the same time.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We’ve gone to another level’

‘Once you’ve honed your strategy and know you are on the right path you can expand’

‘What’s the thing that is going to give me the lifestyle I want’

‘Trying at absolutely everything resulted in me getting nowhere fast’

‘It gives you an opportunity to get the fundamentals right’

The Practical Steps that will Make a Difference
I don’t do it all on my own my business partner, our physical and virtual teams and the power team we have around us are all contributing and its vital that you learn to delegate.
I get help from family members who provide free support and on those days where I have dedicated time to work I am super productive.
I work when others don’t. Where you can find pockets of time that work for you.

Working when others are not, means you can be very focused as your staff and teams are not making any direct demands on your time.

Make use of Apps to ensure your day is as productive as possible. Using Evernote, Google calendar and Banking Apps are a must for planning and organisation whilst having all your social media and emails synced to your phone ensures you can manage responses effectively.
Planning your week for yourself and others you work with will make your week much more efficient.
It's important to learn to say no. If it's in your flow and will work for you it's fine to say yes but if it doesn’t don’t feel guilty about saying no.

How Do I Find The Right Mind-Set to Start?

Mon, 25 Mar 2019 00:00:00 -0000

Are there any ways to reach my leveraged lifestyle sooner?

In this episode, Catherine talks about developing the right mindset needed to take the steps toward a more leveraged lifestyle.

Along the way hear about the practical ways Catherine has used herself to aid other entrepreneurs in taking the leap, plus the advice she’s received from her own mentor, Rob Moore.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

You can’t do it all.

Use the resources you have at your disposal. Remember that your own time is the most valuable, and freeing up more of it will add nothing but value to your business.

There aren’t enough hours in the day to do it all alone. Build an effective network of support by utilising a home-grown team, developing systems or software, and making effective use of Virtual Assistants.

Your business doesn’t have to be perfect before you hand it over

No-one likes a mess, but it’s important to remember that you don’t have to invest your own valuable time in making sure things are perfect before you leverage it out.

Make sure things are in order, by all means, but perfection is not a necessity.

Give yourself permission to seek help

Giving yourself permission to seek help is all part of the process. It’s okay to let go of certain tasks. Creating more of your own time is the only way your business can grow and scale.

Look for other areas in your life that need leverage

Even leveraging personal tasks such as shopping or child care will all lead to a more balanced, manageable workload.

Leveraging your lifestyle may have a price tag, but it’s worth it

Hiring a VA, for instance, can seem like cost you can ill afford. But by delegating tasks, you create more of your own time. If your time is valuable, then the costs can be worth it.

People actually enjoy doing the jobs you don’t want to do

Difficult as it can be to believe sometimes, people actually enjoy doing the tasks you don’t want to do. That’s why people set up cleaning companies. Don’t mistakenly believe that just because you don’t like doing a job, that someone else hates it, too.

If your business is growing, then you’re not “too small” to seek help

Hiring help may seem like a concept that squarely belongs to larger companies, but you’re never too small to explore expanding your team. New help means new skill-sets, which can only strengthen your business, no matter how big it is.

You’ll create more of your most powerful resource

Many mistakenly believe that leveraging your workload will be more time-consuming, due to the process involved. In actual fact, utilising help properly will create more of your most valuable resource: your own time.

BEST MOMENTS

“There aren’t enough hours in the day to be both healthy and wealthy”

“If you’re looking to grow and scale, it’s okay to leverage resources”

“Let go of the feeling that no-one can do it better than you”

“Letting go will skyrocket your business”

“Hiring into chaos will only create more chaos”

“If your time is worth so much, make sure that money isn’t your barrier”

“For every one of you, there’s an opposite. There are people out there who enjoy doing the jobs you hate”

“Giving yourself permission to get help is okay!”

“There’s no better time than now to start creating your leveraged lifestyle”

Listen Now! Before You Hire Your Social Media VA

Mon, 18 Mar 2019 00:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Catherine takes us through the practical steps you need to take before you hire a Social Media Virtual Assistant.

It's key that your social media presence is consistent and the more you do it the better you get and the bigger the impact for your business.

This episode is packed with very special offers, Listen in and find out what they are and how they can help you and your social media presence.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Strategy and content

As an entrepreneur, you need to be focusing on what you want to put out there and what your personal brand is.

If you want to keep your own voice do it through videos and podcasts through writing your own content.

Strategy and content should be what you or someone at a manager level should be doing in your business

Be strategic and plan any offers or anniversaries you will want to feature throughout a year. There will be ad hoc things, possibly something linked to current news but it’s important to have a plan.

If you have periods of the year that are historically quieter for your business you can plan in offers or discounts to attract customers over that period

Social media should be social

Engaging on social media rather than direct pitches is a better way to approach things bringing your potential customers off social media onto a direct email campaign or a webinar, something that is more private and enclosed to do a pitch or sale. It could just be an offer

While you can and are small enough try to engage with social media yourself.

Reply to comments and engage with your followers

A mix of formats and types

As part of your strategy you need to have a mixture of types of post, this is maybe 2 posts giving value followed by a post that is offering a discount or offer for your product or service

Formats could be;

Written, Texts, Images, Video, Audio

Types could be;

Engagement, Value/content, Running a poll, Personal approach

If you know what works for your audience then you can get your VA to repurpose content in that style.

The focus should be 1 or 2 platforms where you know your potential customers visit.

Focus on those and then a VA can repurpose the content for other platforms.

You should not post the same content across all your social media platforms at the same time. You may have similar followings across different platforms, and they will not want to see the same content repeated in the same format.

Content should be repurposed to provide a variety of formats such as sound bites and video clips, this can be effectively undertaken by a VA.

Set up a tracking system with KPIs

This should include information about time, the type of post, the format, the engagement.

It's key you know when your target market is online, and this varies across different platforms, but an efficient tracking system will provide you with this information.

Consistency across platforms

Ensure that all of your brands are linked to all of the platforms you have a presence on. That all links are functional and that any groups you have are all linked to your business pages.

Making sure your platforms are populated and up to date is key otherwise your customers may think you are no longer around

Review past content to see if anything with positive feedback can be repurposed by your VA onto different platforms and in different formats

A VA can curate content that may be relevant for your audience e.g. if you are a property business – the latest property news

Make sure your VA is clear and has accurate information about the type of business you are in and the type of audience you want, and where they are.

System set up

If you don’t want to give out your passwords for individual social media accounts then you can put in place the system called Last Pass. This means the VA has access to your accounts, but it encrypts the password.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The more consistently you do it the better you get at it’

‘From you, about you, people know it’s your voice, it's really a key thing’

‘If you want to keep your own voice you do it through videos and podcasts, through writing your own content’

‘However, you want to keep your hand in, it’s a worthwhile investment’

‘After all, they are commenting so wouldn’t it be nice if they received a comment back’

‘It’s great to have a presence everywhere, even if it’s not your particular focus’

‘You VA will help you to be consistent, a key requirement for success on social media’

‘Content should be repurposed to provide a variety of formats such as sound bites and video clips’

‘You need to leverage your time so that you can generate content from a single recording such as a live video that can be used multiple times’

‘You don’t want people to wonder where you’ve gone’

‘Your VA can pick up from the ground running when they start, populating your social media platforms’

Stop Comparing Yourself to Others

Tue, 05 Mar 2019 00:00:36 -0000

Stop comparing yourself to others. In this episode your host, Catherine Turner discusses the simplest that can help you overcome any issues you have comparing yourself and your business to others. Learn how to focus your energy on where you're going to get the best return on your time invested, but also where you will achieve the lifestyle you want. Don't try and do everything to chase those shiny pennies.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Don’t compare yourself to others. It’s something we do pretty much every day at times in our personal lives, but definitely in business.
Ways and tips and tricks to deal with it.
One is everyone has their own journey. Whatever it is you're doing in life, in business, every single person that you see out there on social media, at networking events, whatever it might be, just compare yourself to other businesses that are out there in your niche or area or genre that you're working on, you're always going to compare yourself, the likelihood is they've had a journey that you know nothing about, you don't understand what they've had to go through and your journey is your journey and that's the one that you're meant to take.
If you're building your business alongside your day job, you're trying to build multiple businesses as well, please remember to give yourself a bit of a break as well.
Use others success as motivation, inspiration, really see it as healthy competition, a way to learn and maybe something to attain. Consider, what could you be doing differently? What are they showing me as well?
Know that most people are only showing the good, not necessarily the pain and challenges and problems they've had to overcome to get there to get to what you see.
Finding out what they've done, either copy them or use it as research because success leaves clues.

BEST MOMENTS

“Your journey is your journey.”
“A tree doesn't grow overnight, the day you plant the seed is not the day that you eat the fruit and the deeper the roots, the deeper and greater the fruits that you're going to get from that.”
“Think about what is really going to give you that best return on investment for your time for the money you put into it.”
“Success leaves clues.”
“There is no better time than now to start creating your leveraged lifestyle.”

Grow & Scale Your Business by Getting The Best Out of Your V.A.

Mon, 25 Feb 2019 12:00:46 -0000

There are many ways we can grow and scale our business without needing our always on-the-clock presence. One of the best ways is to outsource your virtual assistants.

In this episode of the Leverage Lifestyle Podcast, Catherine discusses the 6 things where you and your business could get the best out of your VA. Imagine having your time and energy being conserved and put instead on more important tasks. That would be perfect for your business! Catherine also emphasises that there are things you should know and prepare before you hire a VA. It can get chaotic if you are not sure yet what you need your VA for.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Catherine says her VA does stuff that she can easily do herself, but it’d be best to let others do it so you can concentrate on more important things.
Before you even hire a VA, make sure that your business’ processes and checklists are already in place. It’d be total chaos letting in someone new to the already chaotic workplace you have in your business.
Be super clear on the tasks you need your VA for. You can ready a list for the VA so he/she can help you grow your business.
Don’t just hire for the task that you can’t do and not great at. Hire them with the tasks that you can do also. They can do it for a cheaper price and in an efficient way.
Use them in areas where you don’t have the expertise. You can use them for web developing, managing your finances, handling your social media, etc.
Customer Service. This is to make sure someone’s manning your contact channels 24/7.
Provide your business with more hours that you could physically work.

BEST MOMENTS

“The first thing you need to get right in your business before you even start hiring is to get your processes and checklist in place.”
“When you want to be sleeping, when you want to be resting… your VAs can be looking after your customers and clients making sure there’s a timely response.”

Finding Your Flow And IKIGAI

Mon, 11 Feb 2019 00:00:36 -0000

In this fascinating episode, Catherine explains how finding your Ikigai is an important part of leveraging your lifestyle.

If you want to understand how to find your flow and make a positive difference to the way you approach your business and life then this podcast is a must.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Ikigai, the 4 concentric circles

The first circle is what you love, the second circle is what the world needs, the third circle is what you can be paid for and the fourth circle what you are good at.

Overlapping these are passion, mission, profession and vocation. In the centre of the circles is Ikigai.

Ikigai

The Japanese believe that everyone has an Ikigai and it is the reason we want to jump out of bed in the morning.

There is no secret formula for finding happiness but there is one key ingredient the ability to reach a state of flow and through that state to have the optimal experience to find the Ikigai.

Finding your flow

Challenging tasks

Completing tasks that are just out of your comfort zone.

If tasks are too easy it can lead to apathy. if the task is too hard you may give up

If it’s just challenging enough that’s where we find our flow.

A clear objective

Once the journey has begun its important to keep an overview of the objective but it’s key to focus on the flow.

When you have a clearly defined objective and focus on the process that’s when you find your flow.

Concentrate on a single task

Be in a distraction-free environment. You will feel calmer and have better power of retention and you will be able to achieve flow.

When we are multi-tasking productivity is less and we are more likely to make mistakes and feel stressed.

Advantages of finding your flow

Your mind will be focused on the current task. It enables you to live in the present feel in control. Your mind will become clear and able to deal better with challenges.

Which activities in your life make you enter flow?

What do these activities that drive you to flow have in common?

Why do the activities drive you to flow?

When you can answer these questions, you will be able to find your Ikigai

BEST MOMENTS

‘The more you are in flow the closer you are to your Ikigai’

‘Finding that mix of passion, mission, profession’

‘More than just systems and processes, Its everything you want to create’

‘Feel like there is nothing more important than the single task you have chosen to complete’

‘Starting with a ritual and end with a reward’

‘Tasks that stretch our skills’
