In a highly self-reflective episode, Shaa talks about how to break down the mind-set monsters, how to tackle them head on, and why personal growth is about recognising the moments in which we hold ourselves back from achieving more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
We can't place all the blame on others when we do not grow. Breaking down the mind-set monsters is about recognising that we hold ourselves back.
The number one challenge we have when facing our upper limits is our own mind-set. The mind-set monsters are the triggers that place us into a state of mind that we're sometimes not conscious of, and which hold us back.
Our businesses grow and develop when we spend time developing ourselves. Growth is about holding ourselves accountable, but also about recognising the wins when they take place.
We are often scared to downsize and aim for a more niche market for fear of not serving everyone, and thereby lose clients and income. Some of this might be true in the short term, but focussing on what we are passionate about is the only way to truly grow your business.

BEST MOMENTS 

'You can't have business development without personal development'

'I need to get out of my own damn way'

'Doubling down on who you serve is the only way to grow your business'

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 Shi*t.

Shaa is the original misfit, maverick and magic maker. 

Despite an Economics degree from The London School of Economics and a proud recipient of an MBE from The Queen, her real talents come from the school of hard knocks.

Growing up on a council estate, Shaa learnt early on, that the only way to level the playing field was to first believe you could. Then go all in on making it happen. 

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”.
