The Fearless Business Podcast

Paul Maskill - business coach, multiple business owner, entrepreneur and host of the Business Owners Freedom Formula Podcast.

Paul works with business owners who are looking to make simple culture changes within their businesses which lead to increased turnover and more freedom.

We discussed a lot, most notably the 5 Mistakes Business Owners Make when it comes to Culture:

1. Using "I", "me" and "my" instead of "We" when referring to your business and team.
2. Delegating tasks without responsibility or understanding of what's involved.
3. Not having team meetings (or checking in with yourself regularly if you're a solopreneur)
4. Delegating tasks without there being proper systems or processes in place.
5. Hiring for talent instead of "family fit" - you can have the best performer but they might alienate themselves from the team and disrupt things too much.

Paul is an avid fan and implementer of the eMyth by Michael E. Gerber:

And Paul's top tip for budding entrepreneurs is to "Avoid following the status quo, and do things regardless of what other people are telling you to do; the positives normally vastly outweigh the negatives".
