Why embracing failure is a critical component of business success - Hakeem Adebiyi
In any pursuit of success, even the mention of the word failure sets the wrong tone. Failure is not something many business leaders want to talk about, but it’s a part of life and a necessary component of any success. When things go wrong in business, it can be tempting to push the experience from the road to move on as quickly as possible without reflecting and learning from it. However, by doing that, we miss the opportunity to learn and grow.
Embracing failure is all about reflecting on what went wrong and why and it can be the most valuable learning experience in our businesses.
In this episode of the Hands On Business podcast, your host, Hakeem, talks about embracing failure and why it is necessary for success.

Why diversity drives your bottom line - Hakeem Adebiyi
As the new year begins, I always review the previous year with a plan to improve in the following year. During my yearly reflections over the holiday period, I noticed that without planning it, I have an exceptionally diverse workforce.
The more I reflected on it and the more I looked at what I'd done in previous years, I've always focused on getting the best people for the job, but just as importantly, the best people to make a high-performing team.
People who have different opinions from me, people who have the right attitude, strong mindset, the right skills, and confidence to deliver. And therefore, it has always led to a diverse workforce.
Today's podcast episode will be about why diversity in the workplace drives your bottom line.

How to scale your business rapidly, by systemising it - Alexis Kingsbury
One of the biggest challenges that I've seen in businesses is that no matter how small or how large they are, they don't have enough time to finish all of their daily processes. These businesses feel overwhelmed and can't even imagine what the next step would be to resolve all of their organisational issues. One of the reasons for this overwhelm is that they add poor processes to their systems.
However, the main reason is that most business owners consider implementing processes as a time stealer and as a means to drain a lot of money due to inefficiencies.
Our guest today is Alexis Kingsbury, the co-founder of AirManual, a startup that helps businesses document their processes as well as onboard and train employees. With over 10 years of experience and with a remote and global team, Alexis will explain the power of systemising business procedures and processes for both your time and bottom line.
