Why are we in business? Last week I sat down with Alex Pirouz, who went from quitting school and experiencing business failure, to successfully building up and exiting 3 companies, including linkfluencer® which he grew to 35,000 clients across 35 countries. He is now the host of the Scale podcast and Co-Founder of Windsor Advisers. We covered: - Being the best: Focus on being the best in your industry. Don't just pick an industry because you think it will be a good industry to target. Pick an area you're genuinely interested in; your goal should be to bring the best product to market and be the industry leader. - Satisfaction: It's not just about money; what type of business is ultimately going to make you happy? If you focus on selling something you're passionate about, you will find more success. - Reverse Engineering: Work your way backwards from your aims to find the path of least resistance to your goal. - Find a Mentor: Finding and bringing onboard a mentor or someone who has done it before can be crucial to your success. Here’s a clip of us discussing being the best. Look out for the full version to be released next week! #entrepreneuriship #founders #salesandmarketing

One of the founders of Sharesies, Brooke Roberts, is on the pod this week, talking about everything that comes with founding a business worth in excess of $400m. Sharesies mission is all about creating financial empowerment for everybody - and making investment achievable whether you $5, or $5000.  I remember first coming across the Sharesies team back in 2017, before we were both going on stage at the pitching event in front of 1000 investors. Brooke looked cool, calm and collected, whilst I couldn't decide if the best way to avoid having to speak would be to break an arm or pull the fire alarm. (To be clear, I didn't do either). The Sharesies story is quite remarkable, with a lot of unusual choices (like having three CEOs, or 3EOs) which have made it into one of the most interesting success stories to come out of Aotearoa.  In this episode Brooke shares: - How Sharesies started - How they worked to bring on share holders who share a similar vision to them - How they get their core info across to the consumer without being overwhelming - The conversation she and the founders had about setting up the vibe and culture at their company - The importance of sharing your idea - How to use the B Corp certification to find the weaknesses in your business - Her number one tip to someone starting a mission driven business You can listen wherever you get your podcast fix.  https://lnkd.in/g7KUfAWQ #podcast #sharesies #founder #ceo #womeninbusiness #entrepreneur #smallbusiness

Hey LinkedIn, I'm choosing three people in the next 30 days to do a podcast with. Send me a private message to initiate. The fact of the matter is that you can grow your authority and influence in the business space by doing this, which is why I'm opening up my calendar to connect with #entrepreneurs looking to grow. This isn't really for beginners; ideally, you should have some momentum already, meaning that you have an established business that's making revenue. So if you want in, just send a message. Best,

For your next listen, drive, or run/walk, you can tune into my podcast interview with the fabulous Nada Jones of One Liberty Road! I cover gut decisions and the joy and liberty of staying aligned with my integrity as I run Modern Metal. Thank you Nada for having me as your guest and for asking me questions that really made me think; just answering these was an exercise in growth and introspection which I will reflect upon frequently as I continue to grow my business. ⁠ ⁠ In this episode, Nada sits with Annie to talk about her experience building a niche business for a high-end market. Annie pinpoints her decision to scale back on one particular effort, which set her on a different course toward growing her revenue. Her joy is evident when she talks about the craftsmen she works with and the importance of building a healthy culture. For Annie, the road to a sustainable business was long but ultimately liberating. ⁠ ⁠ Link to listen to the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/grJxEK4N ⁠ ⁠ Shout out to Beth Dickstein, John Malick and Lloyd Princeton, who are mentioned in the podcast as inspirations. ⁠ #entrepreneurlife #startup #niche #craft #mompreneur #successmindset #business #smallbusinesstips #interview #newpodcast #growth #community #gratitude #leadership #grow #midlife #proage #agepositive #startsomething #genx #femaleentrepreneurs
