In this episode, Pete speaks to Michael Shinnick, an entrepreneurial business coach based in Dublin. Michael also runs a 7-figure e-commerce business that he started in 2014.

Listen in to hear Pete and Michael talk about all things coaching and what it takes to be successful and the steps that can get you there.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Everything in your life is a reflection of you and where you are, whether that is your business, bank account or your relationships. For Michael to help people with their business he needs to understand what is happening with the individual, their beliefs and their values as well as certain tactics.
• Your business is just a vehicle to get what you want in life but what do you actually want? This is a probing question that Michael asks his clients to really get into their current mindset.
• If you can change the way you think about something and change to a culture of engagement in a business then you can ultimately change how the organisation operates from all angles.
• Fire in the belly to Michael is whatever it is that will make you take action.
• Your environment is possibly one of the most important things that impact you, your mindset and ultimately your life. Who you are talking with and being around on a daily basis has a massive impact on how you think and act. Surround yourself with the right people.
• Michael spent quite some time working in the investment and banking industry. But he had always wanted to do something for himself and ultimately it was this desire and his need to help people that brought him into coaching.
• From a psychological perspective it's important that you reward yourself for hard work and for when things go well. There are difficult times in all businesses and difficult tasks we all have to push through, remind yourself of these and how far you have come. Celebrate both your own and your teams wins.
