Go All In

The Friday Debrief Notes are a collection of the weeks thoughts based on the interviews that I have conducted and what is happening in my business and my personal life. This week I want to talk about a very important topic that affects each and everyone of us - "Isolation" Sometimes we make a decision to go all in and don't tell a sole. It is a silent commitment that we make to ourselves in a moment of determination. It can be fun and exciting to make such a commitment but it can also leave you feeling isolated by it. My view is that isolation can be solved easily with a band of brothers and sisters. Listen in as I share my thoughts on this good old fashioned view of the world that will solve your isolation. https://www.goallin.com.au/ bit.ly/goallingroup

Robert C Robertson is the founder and owner of Uboxed performance. He is a speaker, author, facilitator and an executive coach with a speciality in leadership and performance optimisation with high level executives. For me, leadership is one of my favourite topics to discuss. Your ability as a leader is constantly on display and constantly under the microscope by those around you. Especially by those who work directly for you. We've all had that boss that is a dictator or tyrant, and likewise, at some point in our working lives, most of us have had a great experience with amazing leadership. Rob is an expert in bring out the best in the leaders that he works with and he achieves consistent and measurable results. You can tell that he really loves what he does which keeps him in a state of flow and keeps it coming easily to him. In the modern world, business owners, entrepreneurs and high level executives all need to possess certain traits and leadership is one that is very high on that list. http://www.unboxedperformance.com/

Friday debrief notes are a collection of my thoughts and opinions based upon the weeks interviews and what I have been working on in my business and personal life. This week I discuss influence. We are all bombarded and subjected to advertising at almost every turn of our day, but do you really know how this industry works? I explain why you should STOP paying attention to these headlines and give you the true meaning of fake news. You'll be surprised how people allow this advertising to influence then and how they formulate decisions and opinions about these topics which ultimately affects whether or not they decide to go all in on something.

Ben Herden is a veteran of the Mortgage industry here in Australia. He first acquired his Mortgage Choice franchise back in 1999 when the industry was in its infancy and was in some ways was still the wild west. Leaving a secure corporate job and diving head first into a business with no experience was no small feat, and Ben quickly realised that his new venture was going to require him to roll up his sleeves and hustle harder than ever before. Some quick wins early on solidified his decision to take the leap into business and before he knew it he was in a steady upward gradient with more and more clients and the ever increasing challenges faced by a new business owner. Distraction and other opportunities created chaos for a while but amongst that chaos were some incredible business and life lessons that have set him up for additional success. Ben has gone all in many times in his life, and although he is humble and would say that he just did what needed to be done, I would say that he has been all in from the very start! Using sound judgement, deep commitment and total honesty with himself Ben has been able to grow 4 very successful businesses. There are some great lessons in here for all of us so please help me in welcoming Ben Herden. https://www.mortgagechoice.com.au/ben.herden/ https://www.facebook.com/MortgageChoiceInGymea/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/benherden/

Does the 9-5 grind ever get you down? No matter what you do for a living, whether that is in a job or in your own business, the repetitive nature of work can sometimes encroach into the balanced of your life. Throw into the mix expectations of career advancement, a perfect family life, health and property, and the desire for more and more financial security and often you have a recipe for disaster. Corporate burnout is much more common that you would think. Often people seem to have it together. They pay their bills on time, they are great at their jobs and their career is moving forward at a great rate of knots, however deep down often people are suffering from the heavy weight of expectation and conforming to what society expects them to become. Our guest today experienced all of these things and ultimately it ended badly for her. Ridiculous hours in the corporate world lead to chronic fatigue and exacerbated the anxiety she was feeling. This ultimately this lead to a very serious burnout. Fast Forward and after some deep introspection and a determination to embrace a more holistic lifestyle Tammi discovered her true self. In the process of embracing a new way of living she discovered that she was not an island in her experience, and it is, in fact, pretty common in the corporate world. Tammi's business Vision Scope Coaching helps businesses and individuals with the slow moving stressors of the modern corporate world that we all face. She is an expert in helping people with high functioning anxiety and even has an online course to help people through this challenge and onto a more balanced and wholistic life. For me as a podcaster, this is one of the most important topics that I could cover since it relates to every single person with a job or a business, which is virtually everyone listening to this! Being more mindful and understanding what is happening with your breath and the chemistry of your body are some simple tools to help you take back control of your life if you are feeling stressed out or just a little down about work. Tammi has some amazing and effective solutions and it is my pleasure to be sharing her story and her philosophy with you today. Remember, you are completely in control of your life, you are the one that is responsible for your future and for your sovereignty as an individual and as a contributing member of society . Your future depends on knowing yourself and knowing that you have found the balance and equilibrium in your life. If your having a bit of a hard time finding that balance, Tammi will help you get there so listen in closely as she drops value bomb after value bomb on this show. http://visionscopecoaching.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VisionScopeCoaching/ https://www.instagram.com/visionscope_coaching/ https://thewellnessacademy.teachable.com/

Making a decision to go all in and live life on your terms isn't as easy as it sounds. We all have responsibilities and we all need to make a living but some things are bigger than conforming to everyday life. If your why is big enough then going all in will be easy, in fact it won't even feel like that, it will feel like a natural thing to do and your progression will be a matter of course. Our guest today has done just that. He finished his commerce degree and 2 days after he was offered a full time role with a great company he was ready to exit the 9 to 5 and take on the world as an entrepreneur. The trouble was he had no experience running a business or developing the websites and software that was required to bring his ideas to life. Karan did it anyway, fast forward a couple of years and he is now the owner of 3 businesses and only works on projects that he loves and others that he is deeply passionate about. He has fostered a company culture of fun, inclusion and equality and is certainly an up and coming entrepreneur to watch closely. Your going to love his story of just doing it and going all in. There are some lessons in there for us all with this approach and attitude. I'm excited he's here so please help me in welcoming Karan Bilimoria. www.instagram.com/karanbilimoria www.flairr.io www.socialmindr.com www.thefounderlink.com

Scott was all in on flying fast jets from the age of 5 when he first laid eyes on an F-111 at Amberly RAAF base in Queensland. His mum recounts a cute story: After the first time he saw the jet he declared that one day he would fly one, and sure enough he did.
