High Frequency Fridays

In this episode, I catch up with someone who I have known and respected for many years, someone we’ve worked closely with in our business, and someone who is a friend that we’ve shared many trips – I know she doesn’t like to mention Everest Base Camp for one!

This episode is with serial entrepreneur Sian Millar, who many of you will know from the Entrepreneurs Circle with her Dizzy Ducks hat on.

Sian originally got into the nursery industry because of the lack of childcare in Essex when she was a working mum. To a mind like Sian’s, of course a problem is an opportunity so she left her stable job to create a nursery group that would become a badge of distinction.

Sian grew Dizzy Ducks from one to eight sites, and fourteen years later successfully exited and sold her business to a larger nursery group.

Since then, she’s worked as a business coach, set up her rental property company, and has recently launched Polka Dot Farm, a unique space for young children that focuses on outdoors, exploring nature and ensuring their indoor space is just as engaging as the outdoors.

• Listen to Learn: Why Vision must come first, and everything (and everyone) needs to follow and stay true to this.  
• Why you need to set-up for Exit at the START of your business journey, not at the end.
• How to get a business to survive on its own.
• How Sian has grown her team to 40 members, generated a Turnover of £2.2m, and has a long waiting list – in just 5 months!
• Why you shouldn’t have a day job in your business.
• Why you should never let people jeopardise your brand or identity.
• Alarms & Alerts and Scorecards don’t have to be numbers based.
• How to WOW your team & your customers for less than £10 to retain loyalty.
• Why policies, procedures and systems are there to help and learn from – and not there to blame.  
• Why you, as the Leader, must hold up your hands when you’ve got it wrong.

It’s been a while since we’ve done a Podcast, but I promise you this is worth the wait!  This week I’m joined by someone who helps, inspires, and stretches people to perform to be their very best: Jean-Pierre De Villiers, or JP, as he’s known.

JP works with CEOs, Celebrities, Olympic Athletes and thousands of other high profile influential men and women, who demand the best from themselves, because they work in high-demand environments where their best is expected.
Olympic medallists, business leaders, entrepreneurs, actors and award-winning film directors and producers all seek out JP's expertise and rely on him to help them perform at the highest level.  JP teaches leading-edge strategies to keep them ahead of the game (and sometimes in the game).
He's the author of several books, is a professional martial artist, has completed multiple ultra-marathons and other endurance events and was voted as Health Coach of the Year.

I first met JP at Daniel Priestley’s Key Person of Influence and have since been inspired by his talks as well as his personal journey over the last few years which I’m sure we’ll touch upon.

Listen to Learn:

• Why opinions matter, but not all opinions are important.
• The importance of trusting yourself and to be guided by your intuition.
• JP’s 4 Pillars of Spiritual Fitness.
• Why Purpose-Led businesses are more successful than Vs Profit-Led.  
• How to re-engineer all your goals to get you moving towards your Vision and the person you want to be.
• The 3A’s to give you Clarity, Coaching and Commitment.
• It’s not WHAT happens, it’s HOW you react.
• Why your measure of success should be: How Happy Am I?
• How you need to create a culture of learning from mistakes in your business.
• Self-Leadership comes before any other kind of Leadership.

In this episode, we bring together the world of business and sport, with guest Sophie Hollis, founder of Inspire Girls Football.

I first met Sophie about three years ago, when our daughter Lily went along to one of Sophie’s Inspire Girls football courses. Since then, Lily has attended Inspire Girls Football Camps, as well as goalkeeper training programs.

I’ve also got to know Sophie through her work she is doing with Camberley Town Girls FC, which I am a coach of.

I am truly inspired by Sophie’s journey, her purpose, her energy, and her mission to inspire as many girls as she can. But before we kick-off, a quick background…

Sophie has played football for several elite clubs in and around Surrey and Hampshire. At 17, she gained a full athletic scholarship to play professional college soccer in America. After battling through a long-term injury, she fell in love with coaching, so much so that she decided to create Inspire Girls Football in 2019. She now continues to inspire over 6,000 players across the country. Sophie recently got back from America where she was the head coach for several elite travel teams in New York, New Jersey & Pennsylvania.

Today’s guest is Jason Graystone, who helps people achieve true financial independence and live their most inspired life.

Since starting his first business at 22 years old, investor and currency trader Jason has successfully built and run multi-million-pound businesses both in the service sector and online.

Jason believes that if you have the right balanced mindset, and adopt the right personality traits, you can use simple formulas to achieve anything you want in life; and it’s this attitude that allowed him to achieve complete financial independence by the time he was 30 by strategically replacing his active work force income from passive investments.

Since then, Jason helps to empower others around money and wealth creation and designing their best life.

Jason believes that everyone deserves to live an inspired life:

“When we are free and able to focus on meaningful work, we become better human beings. All we want in life is time primarily, and then the ability to focus on our highest values for fulfilment and reward.”

In the late 1990’s, Jeremy acquired a competitor of the telecommunications he owned – without cash or involving a bank. Proving that necessity truly is the mother of invention, he figured out a deal structure that worked for the company he wanted to buy. In a single afternoon, he grew by a year’s worth of sales – and that solidified it – he became a deal junkie.

Since then, Jeremy founded Unity Group, a firm specialising in attracting investments and creating opportunities for SMEs to scale, he has advised on more than 300 acquisitions of both distressed and solvent businesses.

Jeremy’s passion for changing the mindset of wealth creation fuelled the birth of Harbour Club where he teaches real tactics for buying, fixing, and selling businesses with no experience and no cash up front.

I’ve known Nigel for 10 years and been lucky enough to work with him as a Business Growth Adviser, shared the stage with him, helped judge his business awards and for the last few years have been his double act for his Masterminds.

I’ve learned a lot from this guy; he’s the quickest implementor I know.

There’s a famous quote by John Wanamaker: “Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half.” This epitomises everything Nigel focuses on – what he doesn’t know about Marketing isn’t worth knowing!

Rob Kerr had a number of false starts in his own career before finding his path. A project manager for over a decade, he set up his first business in

2014 to improve his own work and family life.

Today, he works with aspiring entrepreneurs, contractors, and freelancers, supporting them through these critical decisions and showing them how to flourish on their own unique journey.

Back in my corporate days there was a guy working as part of our team called Kelly Waters (if you’ve read I don’t work Fridays, then you’ll be familiar!).  He was amazing, having started his journey on a YTS for an IT company, moving on to work for the local Council and then joining Glass’s Guide. He was technically very competent, but also a brilliant manager of people. I learned a lot from Kelly.
