  • Ways to Fix the Cashflow Challenge

    Ways to Fix the Cashflow Challenge

    · Business With Purpose

    In this episode, David looks at one of the biggest reasons businesses fail – a lack of cashflow. A problem that can, on occasion, even lead to profitable companies having to close their doors.

    The higher cost of materials and labour coupled with increasing tax take, and downward pressure on what they can charge is leading to more firms experiencing severe cashflow issues. David explains what business owners can do to relieve some of that pressure and have access to the money that is necessary to buy the materials needed to fulfil their next order and keep the lights on.

    Having a strong purpose provides great motivation.

    · Business With Purpose

    In this episode, David shares the 7 things you need to do to have a business that is going to scale without you being there. This approach also solves the 3 main problems that most businesses have.

    You just have to follow it to end up with a business that has the right beliefs, the right patterns of behaviours and the right skills, which means that you're able to work through the fundamental business challenges.

    To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Knowing your why, your purpose, and what your business is there to achieve.

    Even if you love your business and love being there you should still build it in a way that ensures it can thrive even if you can´t be there.

    A business that relies on one person being there is weak because if anything happens to that person the business can easily collapse.

    Everyone´s lives evolve. Even someone who is a workaholic can end up not wanting to spend every hour working on their business.

    Work on your presence, and on how you show up. It has a huge impact on how effective a leader you can be.

    Get your proposition right. Package your product or service to appeal to and tempt more buyers.

    Prioritise effectively.

    Driving momentum is vital. David provides several practical ways to do that.

    If everything is focused on immediate-term, short-term income you won't be building any equity value in the business.

    BEST MOMENTS

    “Many business owners are feeling trapped in their businesses.”

    “If things get too hard, the business owner potentially just gets frustrated because… things don't really move forward.”

    “You've got to have a clear plan for your business that's easy to understand.”

    “Having a mechanism for driving progress in the business that doesn't rely on you being the decision maker all of the time, is a crucial ingredient.”

    To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    A lot of business leaders present themselves as unrelenting decision-makers who are always driving forward, as being alphas.

    Most of the world´s biggest business leaders are not naturally extroverted or charismatic.

    Great leaders don´t have to posture, they use their words and actions to motivate and lead.

    Being authentic and vulnerable resonates with others.

    If you never say sorry, admit someone else´s idea is better than yours or show empathy, you end up isolating others.

    Maintaining a persona burns a lot of energy, you really do need to be yourself.

    BEST MOMENTS

    “I´m not alpha at all.”

    “People know that they (authentic leaders) mean it because of the way they behave.”

    “You have to be you to be the best you can.”

    “How genuine they are gives me goosebumps…it´s important to encourage people to be real.”

    “Friendship is not needing to worry about who you are and how you come across.”

    “Radical candour is where you care personally and challenge directly… you are more likely to find that in friendship groups.”

    To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    The values of your business are a big part of your brand.

    If you want to create a strong brand be transparent about your values and stand by them.

    When you act outside of your stated values, people notice, and it damages your brand.

    If you want to attract decent people you need to be very clear about what you stand for and what you don´t.

    In some companies employees are pressuring their employers to do more for the environment.

    Many companies are so driven by helping the environment that they are doing things that make it harder for them to compete in the market. Patagonia is an example of this.

    Some companies do things they know are wrong or illegal because they can make more money. Yet, studies show that it’s the honest, ethical companies that make higher profits over the long term.

    BEST MOMENTS

    “The book talks about large corporations, but an entrepreneur can get inspired by these organizations and start working on creating a blueprint.”

    “If you start as an organization with these principles firm in mind … the principles are the wind behind your wings,”

    “We refer to transgressions as violations of expectations that stakeholders have of companies.”

    Purpose-driven businesses collaborate with other like-minded companies to achieve their aim.

    It´s OK to make a profit, after all, that is the engine that keeps the business going and able to have a positive impact.

    Being a business owner can help you to have a greater impact in the world.

    BEST MOMENTS

    “The brands that will thrive in the coming years are the ones that have a purpose beyond profit.” – Richard Branson

    “Trapped inside every business with problems is a business with purpose.”

    “They look after their customers, and they create loyalty amongst their customers because they do such a good job for them.”

    “Within the challenge lies a great opportunity.”

    “It's very, very easy to then lose sight of why you started this thing in the first place.”

    “This show is to help business leaders, business owners who may be feeling trapped, who may be feeling stuck, who may be a bit frustrated.”

  • Thoughtful actions are not just for Christmas with Santa Mike

    Thoughtful actions are not just for Christmas with Santa Mike

    · Business With Purpose

    For this episode, David is joined by Santa Mike, a professional Santa who has been playing Santa for nearly 40 years. During which time he has met and delighted thousands of children. So, unsurprisingly, his children´s books are incredibly popular.

    Santa Mike has become good at telling stories that help people to decide what to buy and share. A skill that has also turned him an incredibly adept salesperson. During the episode, he shares what he has learnt about sales and explains how giving gifts and showing appreciation can have a positive impact on company culture.

    To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    ● When selling find a story that fits. Stories generate emotions. When you engage people´s emotions they are far more motivated to genuinely understand how what you are selling benefits them and buy.

    ● It is important to show your employees, friends, family and those who provide you with services that you appreciate them, and to do so year-round.

    ● Simple things like regularly thanking your staff makes a huge difference. They love receiving thank you cards, as do customers.

    ● Customers that you thank are highly likely to recommend you to others.

    ● How you act is what you become, so it is easier than you think to turn a poor culture around. When you pretend to value staff and start taking action very quickly you genuinely do end up valuing them.

    ● If you are kind to people they are less likely to be unkind to you.

    ● Stories are powerful, you can use them to help you to stop yourself from staying awake worrying. Santa Mike explains how.

    ● Share the experience of people who have bought your product or used your service.

    BEST MOMENTS

    “If you act a certain way and keep acting a certain way, you will become that way.”

    “Worrying about a problem that hasn't happened yet. You're borrowing tomorrows worries. Leave it till tomorrow. Enjoy today.”

    “Value your children. If you're grownups listening to this, your children are working really hard. Being a kid is not an easy job….give them an extra hug.”

  • How To Encourage Your Team To Use Their Initiative

    How To Encourage Your Team To Use Their Initiative

    · Business With Purpose

    In this episode, David explains, in detail, how to encourage your team to use their initiative. To recognise what needs to be done, then, get on and do it. When your team is capable of taking the initiative, things happen faster, their understanding of what the business needs improves, and they deliver a far better service.

    Empowering people in this way also helps to build confidence, improves skills and makes it easier to retain the best team members. The strategy David shares to improve your team´s ability to use their initiative is not hard to implement, yet it is still incredibly effective.

    To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Genius is initiative on fire. People need to know that if they have an idea they have your permission to act on it. If you want people to take the initiative make sure they are engaged and motivated. The strategic part of making sure people are able to take initiative is ensuring that the purpose of the business is clear and well communicated. Set parameters that make it safe for people to take the initiative and solve a problem there and then e.g. give an instant refund without referring to a supervisor for permission when the purchase is under ÂŁ100. Get everyone actively involved in improving processes and products. Use rewards and competitions to encourage people to take the initiative.

    BEST MOMENTS

    “Initiative is doing the right thing without being told.”

    “Your individuals are going to be motivated by different things. There are nine motivators .”

    “Encourage people to make suggestions, not just to identify the problem, but also where there's a potential solution.”

    “Make sure there's a feedback loop for people, so people know what their suggestions have gone and the opportunity to be part of the change if they want it .”

    · Business With Purpose

    For this episode, David is joined by Ashley Stanford, who is a digital marketing, freelancing, and event expert. She is the co-founder and vice president of Ice Cream Social. They discuss how to move with the times in a digital and social media environment that is in a constant state of flux. How to use some basic principles to ensure that no matter what changes you keep up and continue to run effective digital marketing campaigns.

    The advice and tips that Ashley shares work for every type of business regardless of size or the market they are targeting.

    To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice, and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Whilst the channels and tactics that work are constantly changing the principles remain the same. You can use AI to generate content faster and make it more polished. Ashley explains how. But the human touch is still essential. Most small businesses operate in survival mode. Pause to work out who your customers are. Doing that produces amazing growth. Always analyse the results of your campaigns, so the next one is more effective. Every customer you have has the potential to be an influencer. They will all share their experience, at some point. Using rewards and gamifying, incentive-based social sharing, massively boosts the effectiveness of campaigns. Centre marketing around the benefits of your product or service, not the features. You need full control of your brand, money and customer data to be able to successfully pivot. Something all businesses have to do regularly. Periodically review your personal goals. Your life changes and you evolve, and so does what you want. Event marketing that is immersive and engages all of the senses is powerful. People feel compelled to use their phones to share it. If you host an event, make it worth people´s while to attend. Time is precious to them.

    BEST MOMENTS

    “Things are changing pretty quickly with social media continuously advancing quicker than ever, with AI and influencers.”

    “Who is your target audience, and how do they spend their time online? That will help you decide where to hang out.”

    “Turn every single customer that you have into an influencer for your brand.”

    Why Belief Matters and How to Shift the Beliefs That Are Holding Your Business Back

    · Business With Purpose

    For this episode, David explains why your beliefs could be holding you and your business back. Importantly, he also shares simple tactics you can use to change them so that you can make progress again.

    If you are a leader who is feeling stuck, and constrained by the situation you are in, applying the advice in this episode will play a key role in getting you unstuck.

    To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Your beliefs impact problem-solving and decision-making. As a child we form our belief system based on experiences, socialisation and other factors. At some point, those beliefs hold us back from going into certain situations. Conviction is the strongest belief. Often, they are a part of our identity, but they can still be changed. In challenging situations start each meeting with what is going well and what you are already doing to address the problems. David shares a simple way to prove to yourself and your team that you can solve problems. Thus, neutralising the negative belief that you don´t have the ability to overcome the challenge(s) you are currently facing. Use flipping the script as a way to use positive beliefs to overcome and quieten negative beliefs. David explains how during the episode. Identify core beliefs that serve you and work to change those that are not serving you.

    BEST MOMENTS

    “The problem is not the problem. The problem is the state that you go into as you approach the context where you think the problem is.”

    “The belief tells us whether we should or shouldn't go into this situation .”

    “If you start the meeting with what's going well, then actually that immediately lifts the vibe in the room.”

    “ There's ways to borrow belief and borrow advocacy that can help you .”

    The way Bob approaches sales and closes deals is substantially different. But, when he explains his innovative approach you will immediately see the wisdom and be inspired to start to change the way you grow sales in your business.

    To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Sales is about helping the potential customer to make a decision. If you have a high decision rate, your closing rate will also be high. Believe in your product and understand how it benefits the customer. Getting someone to commit to anything is hard, including committing to buy from you. Being a great presenter does not seal deals. “greed tricks” are counterproductive. Pay each customer a sincere compliment. Bob explains how to learn this skill. Use Bob´s 3 reason framework, which he explains during the episode, to provide compelling reasons for them to buy. Use your company story. Bob explains how. If you want to inspire commitment, you have to be committed.

    BEST MOMENTS

    “My goal … is to give them the information they need to make an informed decision, then do everything I can to prompt an impulse buy.”

    “A really great closer is part lawyer and part six-year-old.”

    “I advocate price conditioning throughout the pitch.”

He covers identifying specific traits and skills you need and attracting people who have them. David also explains how to develop a strong employer brand that will attract the right type of person.

    To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice, and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Building a business is a lot like building a tribe, which is why you need a team that shares the same values and ambitions. Build your employer brand, what do you stand for? Bear in mind that people will research you as well as your company, so your employer (personal) brand needs to be strong. Don´t hire based on technical skills alone. Be clear about company values and how you expect people to behave in your job advert. Test your interviewees' understanding of your company´s values. Employee referral schemes can be a good way of quickly finding suitable candidates. Never compromise and hire someone you feel is not a good fit, no matter how desperate you are.

    BEST MOMENTS

    “If you're looking for a particular character trait, hire for it.”

    “If there's that incongruence, then some of that drive might be missing.”

    “If you're hiring for a leader or an influential role in particular, never, ever, ever, ever, hire somebody who can't tell you what your values are and how they relate to them.”

    For this episode, David is joined by Kevin Henderson who is an experienced M&A lawyer, whose mission is to help people to get into the world of buying businesses. Doing so is a way to create the freedom that they want in their lives whilst also being business owners.

    Kevin covers identifying the right business to buy, spotting issues with it, raising funds, taking it over and potentially selling it.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    You can make enough money from a small business to match a professional corporate wage. Plus, you are building equity. Most business equity in the USA and Europe is in the hands of baby boomers, who need to retire. Many small businesses do not use technology, so improving processes to generate far more profit is easy. In the USA, you now only need to buy a majority of a business to secure a SBA loan. Do your due diligence. 40% of businesses lie about their finances. Be careful about how they handle expenses too. Buying a firm with just 1 or 2 big customers is risky. Spend at least the first year working directly in the business. Be prepared to occasionally step in to cover some of the manual work. If you plan to sell, plan ahead and make your business more attractive. Kevin explains how. Be realistic running a small business is still stressful.

    BEST MOMENTS

    “You can bridge a very large gap with seller financing.”

    “In approximately 40% of deals that he reviews …. they identify outright financial fraud.”

    “Focus on what we call enduringly profitable businesses.”

What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.

    Brian Beckcom - On Purpose and Profit - The Middle Path

    · Business With Purpose

    They also discuss how AI is going to impact our ability to communicate, how to use pacing and stories to be persuasive, and how taking the middle path leads to success while helping others.

    To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice, and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    All successful people can work with groups, are self-motivated, and not afraid to set challenging goals. Successful businesses have a purpose that goes beyond making money. We are reaching the point where many people cannot tell the difference between AI and something a human has created. Humans have always used stories to communicate and find common understanding. Never start a persuasive conversation by telling someone that they are wrong. Be realistic about what drives people and use that when trying to persuade others. By providing what others need, you can always make money ethically Law is the manifestation of our ethical beliefs about certain things.

    BEST MOMENTS

    “You have to have some purpose beyond making money.”

    “A moral person tries to get those economic incentives to line up with the moral incentives.”

    “I believe that in general the middle path is usually the correct one.”

    Enneagram part 3 | What Patterns Of Behaviour Are Holding You Back?

    · Business With Purpose

    In this final episode of David's 3-part series on recognizing and changing behaviour patterns that block personal and professional growth, he explores the last 3 of the 9 Enneagram personality types, highlighting each type's negative behaviours and offering strategies for change.

    Today´s episode looks at enthusiasts, challengers, and peacemakers.

    To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice, and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Stop blaming external factors for your lack of progress. Instead, focus on addressing your shortcomings to resolve the issue. There is nothing wrong with being enthusiastic, but you can take on too much and become distracted. Pausing, reviewing, and prioritizing counters this. Challengers are decisive and self-confident, but they can get angry a lot, be self-righteous, and constantly blame others. Peacemakers are easy-going and agreeable people. But can be so desperate for harmony that they let things that need to be addressed go and be passive-aggressive. Peacemakers need to be far more focused on the goal.

    BEST MOMENTS

    “Observe these patterns of behaviour and once you´ve noticed work out how to reframe things.”

    “Once you make a decision, decide what you're going to do, then track it.”

    “Challengers are looking for control.”

    “What you suppress will be expressed.”
