Break Free of Your Limiting Beliefs and Emotions By Taking Ownership with Matt Young

In this episode, Gavin is joined by Lisa Johnson, a serial entrepreneur speaker, global business strategist, Sunday Times best-selling author and mum of twins. In just 7 years, she went from being £30,000 in debt to making £20 million+.  Today, she helps others to get clear on their own strategies to earn a passive or semi-passive income.

She and Gavin discuss why getting your mindset right is essential. They talk about the role it plays in your ability to put yourself out there, and consistently take the right action.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Getting your mindset right is essential.
You can be taught the best strategies, but without the right mindset, you won´t take action.
It is very important to be visible. If you do not put yourself out there, people will never find you.
Fear of being trolled is one of the biggest hindrances to visibility.
If you are setting up a side hustle get a few small tasks done, every day. Doing something small, often, adds up to big steps forward.

BEST MOMENTS

‘In the first year, I made £220,000, then I started adding passive income and semi-passive income streams.’

‘We´ve actually employed a mindset coach who is working full time to help our clients with their mindset.’

‘Do little things often.’

The Right Mindset Coupled with the Right Strategies Equals Big Success with Lisa Johnson

In this episode, Gavin is joined by Jamie & Kevin Christoforou, friends of his who started a business in their bedroom, which they then sold for multi-millions of pounds. Gavin catches up with them to talk about their entrepreneurial journey and discuss their latest ventures.

This episode provides a great overview of what it is like to start a business from scratch and find the courage to commit, invest and take the necessary steps to grow. They discuss how they got through the pandemic, creating the right culture and the process of exiting a business.



KEY TAKEAWAYS
Being professional at all times creates a strong foundation.
Provide the customer with a fantastic service. Even if you are not 100% sure how to deliver what they need, be professional, and then work it out.
Celebrate your wins with your staff and look after them.
Exiting a business takes months.
Nobody wants to buy a business which can´t run without you.



BEST MOMENTS

‘It was a slow burner, to begin with… it kind of built up momentum over time. ´

‘It´s a lot easier to grow a business when you´ve got no money…there are so many distractions.’

‘Outsourcing is definitely the best way to go. It leaves you to focus on the core of your business.’
