Episode 17 - The Journey To Discipline with Jay Alderton

Welcome to Building a Bigger Table

The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income. 

 

In This Episode:

 

Welcome to episode 17 of the Building a Bigger Table podcast, where I’m joined by my good friend Jay Alderton. He’s an ex British army soldier turned fitness and business coach - so he knows a lot about discipline and getting sh*t done!

 

I’m so excited to bring this episode to you, because I think Jamie’s been on such a journey of growth over the last few years of building his business - and I believe that many of you will be able to really relate to him. 

 

We start at the beginning and what he calls the best decision of his life, which was to join the army aged 17. That gave him a sense of purpose and motivation that he’s now transferred to fitness, so he’s got a ton of tips on how you can stay focused on your goals. 

 

Jay believes in impact over income, and serving over earning … trusting that if you’re passionate about making a difference, the money will follow. We also discuss patience and playing the long game, along with how to create healthy habits, and set clear boundaries that will slowly but surely turn your dream a reality. 

 

If you want to learn how to master the mindset you need to succeed, cultivate rock-solid confidence and turn your vision into actionable steps, then this is a must-listen for you!






Key Takeaways:

Always focus on serving over earning

Why confidence is essential for success

Why trust is the most important part of teamwork

Helpful habits and routines you can adopt today

 

 

 

 

Quotes:

“And I think it was a realisation that no one works harder than me and it's like, no, no one does work harder than you. And no one wants to.”

“[In] 2016 [...] I was up at four or five work until like 11 o'clock at night and the things that I achieved in 2016, I ticked every box I'd ever wanted. And then had a massive meltdown afterwards, just completely burned out.”

“I always say to people, you're rewarded in this world based on the value that you put into it. So very much now, things start to go really well when I'm not focused on me, I'm focused on others.”

 

Meet Your Host:

Hi, I’m Shaa.

I’ve been called a serial entrepreneur … but I’ve never been one for labels! I’ve done SO many things in my career, including starting and scaling multiple 7 figure businesses, and am grateful for being recognised with some lovely awards - most proudly, an MBE from The Queen “for Services to Business and Entrepreneurship”.

I’ve been featured in major publications for my efforts (named one of the UK’s Top 20 Most Influential Entrepreneurs by The Sunday Times and one of the ‘Most Influential Women in the UK" by the Institute of Directors), and have written 4 straight-talking, bestselling books; Stop Talking, Start Doing; Stop Talking, Start Doing Action Book, Do Less, Get More; and most recently, How To Fix Your Sh*t.
