Episode 14 - 20 Things I Learned in 2020

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 back to the Building a Bigger Table Podcast where I’m sharing everything I learned in 2020. If you caught last week’s episode, you’ll know it was all about projecting and how we can make 2021 our year. Well, this week’s all about reflecting, and I’m sharing my top 20 lessons learned. 

 

Let’s face it, 2020 was not the year that anyone anticipated. I remember around this time last year, thinking about all of the things I wanted to do in the year ahead, and the reality of what happened looked very different from the vision in my head. I’m sure it’s the same for you.

 

But one of the most important things you can do in life (and business) is to learn how to deal with change - not to mention how to cope when things don’t go to plan… Why? Because there is always a lesson to be learned, people.

 

Tune in to hear my most important learnings from 2020 - from the modest to the most profound - and let’s round up this strange old year together before we step into the next one.







Key Takeaways:

The legacy I want to leave behind

Your best next business move

Financial empowerment is everything

The shift I see coming for 2021

 

 

Quotes:

“I can run my own race. I can slay my own lane. I can actually completely and utterly change my business model to suit me, and it's okay.”

“If anything 2020 has taught me that I am a creative activist at heart who happens to be damn good at business.”

“I am the person to work with if you want to have somebody who is really going to hold you accountable for getting the results that you and I both know that you're capable of. I'm not the easy solution, but I am the solution when you want to get real results.”

 

 

 

 

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.

Shaa’s first book, "Stop Talking Start Doing" became WHSmith's #1 Bestselling Business Book for 14 months in a row, breaking all industry records. 

Shaa has never been one to sit on the fence or rest on her laurels and today her sole mission is to level the playing field and create real social mobility for all.

The Sunday Times recently named her as “One of the top 20 most influential entrepreneurs in the UK”.
