Get Out Your Way with Osmaan Sharif

Season 1 Finale

As time moves on, it’s a great idea to stop & reflect on what you’re doing (or not doing).Because I’m pretty sure that just like me, there will be some things you’re doing that aren’t really making an impact or getting the results that you want.You may be still doing them because you think you ‘should’ be doing it or that you’re just in the habit of doing it … so it’s now become the ‘norm’.But if you’re doing that … what are you not doing … that could be even better for you & your business?That is what I’d love to explore & share even more with you in this week’s podcast episode here.You’ll also hear me share some exciting news with you inside the podcast … about the podcast!The top line is … the Get Out Your Way podcast is moving to being a themed season-based podcast, instead of a weekly based podcast.So this week’s episode wraps up season 1 (which has a whopping 167 episodes in that season for you to dive into or re-listen to)It will be back later in this year & I can’t wait to share this new approach with you.If you’ve been a listener to season 1 so far … a big thanks. I’m totally proud of having consistently shared & recorded weekly episodes for the past 3 years+. If you haven’t listened to any of them or missed some … then where have you been!? Only messing … you’ve now got time to catch up on season one.This podcast change is another example of practicing what I teach … as you’ll hear me explain more about in this week’s episode.Enjoy the week ahead.Best wishes as always.Osmaan----Here’s the extra links & resources for this episode:* Take the free Get Out Your Way Quiz here.* Book in for a free virtual cuppa (15 mins) here.* Ask a question for the podcast here.* Discover which of the 8 Entrepreneurial Superpowers you have through the Wealth Dynamics Profile test here* Connect with me on LinkedIn; Instagram & on my Facebook Page here.

Do More Of What Works For You!

If you were a salesperson (which you are … even if it’s not in your official title), how would you feel if this happened?A current customer of 6 years, who’s already had 2 cars from your dealership before reaches out to say they’re interested to discuss what next car they could get from you.I hope you say ….. that you’d be jumping with joy & really eager to speak with your customer asap!Well I am that customer at the moment & honestly I’ve had the complete opposite experience from the sales team!It’s left me feeling like they totally don’t want or care about a sale from me … so much that I’ve actually started to look at other car manufacturers … even though I was a total loyal customer for them.For me it’s come down to the impression that they’ve left on me, after me having to chase them numerous times & them still not even getting back to me some details they promised.It’s left me totally appreciating that we are always leaving an impression on our customers or potential customer … in every interaction or exposure that we have.So it’s time to reflect & be honest … what type of impression are you leaving currently?In this week’s podcast episode, I dive into this even more with you & share some home-truths I also have had about the impression I was putting ‘out there’ inadvertently … without realising it!I’m sure you’ll get lots of valuable insights from it, so be sure to check it out.You’ll also hear more about how the sales team at the car garage have left me really considering jumping ship to their competitors instead.As always let me know what you’re biggest take-away from it, after you’ve had a listen.Best wishes as always.Osmaan----Here’s the extra links & resources for this episode:* Take the free Get Out Your Way Quiz here.* Book in for a free virtual cuppa (15 mins) here.* Ask a question for the podcast here.* Discover which of the 8 Entrepreneurial Superpowers you have through the Wealth Dynamics Profile test here* Connect with me on LinkedIn; Instagram & on my Facebook Page here.

Trust Your Unconscious Mind

There really wouldn’t be much of a story .. never mind a whole series … if there was no Harry Potter … in the Harry Potter books or movies. Because he went onto save the wizarding world.Just in the same way that Katniss helped overthrow the Capitol in the Hunger Games …  Moana saved helped save her whole community … or how Batman helps protect Gotham City & the Karate Kid went on to win the championship.They are the heroes!The truth may hurt but your clients or prospective clients don’t want you to be the hero.Because THEY want to be the hero & so they should be!It doesn’t mean you, or your services or products aren’t valuable or helpful to them, or part of their journey.Just in the way that the heroes & sheroes of your favourite movies & books would have struggled to ‘win’, without having certain key people in their corner.But it can actually stop you from getting clients if you’re marketing yourself or acting like the hero, in their story.Have you been doing that? Because it’s so easy to do without realising it.Instead, how about you play a different role & see how that can help you & them?This is the topic of this week’s podcast, where I share even more practical & real-life examples to help you to get out your way, from the great book 'Building a Story Brand' by Donald Miller.Be sure to let me know what your biggest insight & takeaway is from it, plus how it will help you.Best wishes as always.Osmaan---Here’s the extra links & resources for this episode:* Take the free Get Out Your Way Quiz here.* Book in for a free virtual cuppa (15 mins) here.* Ask a question for the podcast here.* Build a Storybrand by Donald Miller* Discover which of the 8 Entrepreneurial Superpowers you have through the Wealth Dynamics Profile test here* Connect with me on LinkedIn; Instagram & on my Facebook Page here.

Stop Being The Hero

‘Remember when Osmaan was totally in love with the IT teacher?’, blurted out a friend over dinner.‘Erm no I wasn’t!’ … I quickly responded, whilst turning a shade of bright red!‘Yes you so were!’ … pipped up some of my other loyal school friends.The truth was out! Because I really did fancy my IT teacher in high school, but at the time, I didn’t really know that I was. (Oh maybe I just hadn’t admitted it to myself or others back then). But looking back at it may years later … I could see that I was.But the funny thing is … apparently EVERYONE else knew I was & it was seemingly so obvious to them all at the time.This reminds me so much of what it’s like for business owners. They often don’t know what they don’t know!But through our coaching together, they get to really see & admit what they really, really want … or what’s really not working & why! So it’s not a secret anymore.Want to hear more about the realisations (erm … confessions) about my high school crush, plus other tips to help you to Get Out Your Way & grow your business?Listen in today to hear more.Speak soonOsmaanp.s. … I really hope Mrs ****** never listens to my podcast … as that would be highly embarrassing.---Here’s the extra links & resources for this episode:* Take the free Get Out Your Way Quiz here.* Book in for a free virtual cuppa (15 mins) here.* Ask a question for the podcast here.* Discover which of the 8 Entrepreneurial Superpowers you have through the Wealth Dynamics Profile test here* Connect with me on LinkedIn; Instagram & on my Facebook Page here.

Where is the Grass Greener?

I nearly went flying straight into the garden pond …. head first!Because I was in such a rush & actually didn’t know there was a concrete step on the patio.Luckily my mum grabbed me, so I avoided getting drenched.But I still remember it to this day, even though it happened when I was like 7 years old.Does that ever feel like you … always rushing around & wanting to get places FAST?Last week, one of my clients was at the risk of nearly tripping themselves up by wanting to focus on … ‘what’s next?’ … when in fact, the best strategy for them & their business … was to slow down & refine what they’ve been doing.Through just one coaching session, we were able to dig deep & see how they could make some small changes that would make a big impact … like having the chance to half their working time, whilst earning double the amount of revenue!I know it can seem so exciting to move onto the next thing. But when you do it too quickly, it can actually slow down your business growth rather than speed it up.I dive into this more in this week’s podcast for you, so you can be sure you don’t trip yourself up by trying to run ahead too quickly, by following some simple yet powerful top tips.Let me know what connects the most with you from it & where you’ve not seen that you would have benefited more from slowing down … in order to really speed up!Best wishes as always.Osmaan-----Here’s the extra links & resources for this episode:* Take the free Get Out Your Way Quiz here.* Book in for a free virtual cuppa (15 mins) here.* Ask a question for the podcast here.* Discover which of the 8 Entrepreneurial Superpowers you have through the Wealth Dynamics Profile test here* Connect with me on LinkedIn; Instagram & on my Facebook Page here.

Are You Trying To Run Ahead Too Quickly?

 Does this resonate? ‘Sometimes I feel like I’m not actually working when I’m creating content & doing some admin work. Which makes me lost motivation & then procrastinate. I don’t know how to fix my mindset & stay consistent with content creation?’ This juicy question was sent in the other day & I’m sure you’re nodding your head thinking … yeah I feel like that at times too. So why do we something think we’re skiving & what even is the ‘work’ part of your business? I decided to dive into this question more deeply for you & help coach you through it, so you can Get Out Your Way. Dive into my answer & thoughts in this episode. Best wishes as always Osmaan----Here’s the extra links & resources for this episode:* Take the free Get Out Your Way Quiz here.* Book in for a free virtual cuppa (15 mins) here.* Ask a question for the podcast here.* Discover which of the 8 Entrepreneurial Superpowers you have through the Wealth Dynamics Profile test here* Connect with me on LinkedIn; Instagram & on my Facebook Page here.

Are You Working Or Actually Procrastinating?

Do you ever feel like you’re doing things ‘wrong’ in your business?I’ve had those feelings many times over times since starting my business & I see loads of business owners driving themselves crazy because of this & some other common things.Like when you see things working for others but when you try those same things, they just don’t seem to get the same results.It’s frustrating right & then it makes you even start thinking … ‘Am I cut out for this?’But want to know what one of the most common reasons that we feel like we're ‘failing’ is?It’s because we’re either consciously or unconsciously following the ‘wrong’ role models!Those people who have different values; Entrepreneurial Superpowers; visions & goals than us.Crazy right, how we can be our own worst enemies & end up getting so caught up & distracted doing this in the way that is working for ‘them’ … but abandon the ways that actually have worked for us before or could work even better for us!I honestly rant about this so much & I do (in a nice way) on this week’s podcast & blog, plus I share 4 more ways that us business owners can often drive ourselves crazy (when we really don’t have to!) ... includingThinking you need to do everything!Overthinking & under-doingTrying to please everyoneNot having a clear vision or goals!Even though I’ve been in business for 14 years this week (woo hoo – get the party poppers out) … I need to keep reminding me of these things regularly, as it’s so easy to fall prey to them.  I truly hope this helps you avoid them in the future or to quickly kiss them goodbye if they’re currently impacting you.Best wishes as always.Osmaan----Here’s the extra links & resources for this episode:* Take the free Get Out Your Way Quiz here.* Book in for a free virtual cuppa (15 mins) here.* Discover which of the 8 Entrepreneurial Superpowers you have through the Wealth Dynamics Profile test here* Connect with me on LinkedIn; Instagram & on my Facebook Page here.

How to Avoid Driving Yourself Crazy as a Business Owner

Honestly, before you started your business, how much did you actually think about the fact that you’d need to actually sell ‘things’?Because I really didn’t think about it at all.I was way more excited about the parts that came before getting clients & after getting clients. But not the actual getting clients bit!But the sad fact is that we all need paying clients to actually have a thriving & growing business, otherwise it just becomes a very expensive hobby or charity!What about now? How do you think & feel about selling? Does it excite you? Do you dread it or just feel like it’s something you’ve got to do, but you’d rather just hide away from actually doing it?If that’s the case, let me share a quick mindset & thinking shift that can make all the difference.It’s helped me loads & even a new client that I shared it with the other week (yep … they became a lovely new client that I’m getting to help because I actually sold them one of my coaching packages).It will help it feel so much less like a transaction … I promise.Enjoy & of course let me know how it helps you.Best wishes as always.Osmaan---Here’s the extra links & resources for this episode:* Take the free Get Out Your Way Quiz here.* Book in for a free virtual cuppa (15 mins) here.* Discover which of the 8 Entrepreneurial Superpowers you have through the Wealth Dynamics Profile test here* Connect with me on LinkedIn; Instagram & on my Facebook Page here.
