Ep7 - How James Powys left the corporate world to create his own destiny

We are coming up to the New Year and a lot of us will be making New Year resolutions. Shortly after we'll be off track and saying oh well, I'll try again next year. This recent event reminded me of a secret tool that we all own and when used has dramatic effects on your self-control and ability to achieve goals. It's all about what the state of gratitude does to you. Listen to the podcast to discover the easy way to find gratitude in your life, even if you are no good at visualisations. In the podcast I'm just sharing my experience. I would love to hear your comments and views on new year resolutions and how to make them stick. Visit me on facebook/successacademyuk and let me know your thoughts. I do go into a little more detail on my main website https://thesuccessacademy.co.uk/the-secret-tool-that-will-ensure-your-new-year-resolutions-stick/ Make sure you try out this powerful way of feeling gratitude and let me know if and how it helps you achieve your new year goals.

Ep6 - The number 1 way to get New Year Resolutions to stick

I'm a great believer of 'everything in life has a lesson - if you look for it'. While I didn't realise it at the time a horrible customer encounter around 1997 taught me everything I needed to know about buyer personas. Even though the customer made me cry (listen to discover how) I still learnt so much. Unconsciously as a sales assistant I adapted and changed based on this one customer. There was also an important lesson about leadership and how working with great people can have a massive impact on how you treat other people. Listen now to learn the lesson I did about buyer personas and why they are so important. Once you've listened to this episode, follow this link and uncover your buyers personas. Or as I prefer to call them - Client Profiles Use our client profile creator by following this link - http://bit.ly/clientprofiler

Ep5 - Valuable lesson from a customer who made me cry

Using my recent shopping experience I offer my view to why high street shops are closing. The battle isn't being won based on price alone. The media and high street retailers are telling us that they closing because the internet is able to offer cheaper prices. I disagree! While price may play some part for a small selection of customer. The majority of customers are shopping for VALUE and value is based on a massive range of different areas. In this episode you'll discover what they are and how to always get someone to make you a cup of tea.

Ep 4 - The Highstreet is not losing because of price

2009 and despite a personal massive set back and the financial crisis I plunged into the world of self employment. Field of dreams 'if you build they will come' couldn't have been more wrong. It's a story of how I had worked for one of the most amazing employers ever; they had given me so much training, development and support. But while I worked in the same building, the company was very different now and not in a good way. I had lost my passion, my purpose and worse of all I was now in hospital! In this episode you'll learn how it all happened and how despite the set backs once I returned to work I took redundancy and set up my own business. I must have been mad! I tell this story of becoming self employed, not to say how great I am or impression you. I tell it because I hope it inspires you to become self employed or if you are struggling in the world of self employment it encourages you to keep going. Take a moment to share, like and comment. Seeing them inspires me to keep producing this content.

Ep 3 - It was time for a change anyway!

The story of the impossible. How when your WHY is big enough you can overcome anything and succeed. If you work in your own business often tasks can be shoulds not musts. In this episode I look at what was achieved when 'should' could not exist and everything had to become a must.

Ep2 - The Impossible Year

This is an introduction into where my journey began. The journey to where I am today has had many significant moments. In this episode I introduce the first one.
