Lena Robinson’s a straight-talking Kiwi that has built a powerful reputation for herself as savvy business person in London over the last 17 years. In 2018 she threw a grenade into her life to start FTSQ. She wanted to create a community that supported non-conformists and the business owners within that community. The aim being to support them, via her consultancy, in achieving everything they were told they couldn't by F***ing with The Status Quo.

She uses all of the knowledge, experience and the huge network of people she’s gained after almost 30 years in business across multiple countries to help others. She’s had a highly successful career in 'adland', started three companies (FTSQ’s her third, she sold her second). Has traded her parents business out of near disaster when the Inland Revenue (NZ equivalent to HMRC) threatened to end them. Has mentored many bright young people that have gone on to do amazing things, and has made millions for the companies she’s worked for and with. Lena is a tenacious, force of nature. She’s a maverick, but she’s also a caregiver, she will forever watch over the non-conformists, because they often struggle to stand up for themselves, she does so because she often sees in them that others do not.

Lena believes there is power in the unconventional, the different and the unorthodox.

Here’s what we’ll be discussing on this episode:

• Non-conformists.
• Being a non-conformist in big agency corporate life ie WPP (OgilvyOne, OgilvyAction, Wunderman), Vizeum, Dentsu etc.
• Why FTSQ Exists - what is FTSQ all about?
• My life story - it's a doozy
• Being a woman in business and not really feeling OK with being called a feminist - because I don't think I am Being a Kiwi in the UK There's power in your difference My illness - battling that while trying to keep my business alive

Let non-conformists know that there is a safe place to come to - FTSQ is a community where they can be weird, odd, unorthodox and know they'll be ok to be themselves there. Where one rule, rules all 'just don't be a dick'. Cause if you are, you answer to the Boss Lady and she will kick your ass out!

I’m known as the Crocodile Dundee of direct response copywriters. It’s a title I’m happy to have. I often have people try to impress me with their copy and the profits it's made them.

Yet as soon as I see their copy, I can instantly see where they are leaving money on the table. A quick “That’s not a profit! This is a profit” tweak . . . and they are making more money than they thought humanly possible.

Over the last 12 years I have mentored many copywriters across the globe.

And many of them went on to become world class and A-List copywriters and work for companies such as Agora Financial.

And I do it all while I live the International Lifestyle which began in 2006.

Long before I got into copywriting and marketing . . . I was in the banking profession.

Most of which was as a commercial lending manager.

During my banking career I estimate I interviewed over 10,000 business owners, pulled apart in excess of 35,000 sets of financial statements over a 20 year banking career.

This included 5 years as a self-employed commercial finance broker . . . brokering multi-million dollar deals for my clients between the greedy banks.

Since 2001, my breakthrough advertising and marketing strategies have consistently helped my clients double, triple, even quadruple their business.

At times . . . even more.

Here’s what Matt Furey (one of the speakers) said about me.

“Trevor Crook has a rare ability to find the financial leaks in any business that most great entrepreneurs cannot see. Once found, his powerful and insightful marketing methods quickly increase income while creating customer loyalty.

If you want the 'straight-scoop' with zero fluff, then pay attention to everything Trevor teaches about copywriting and marketing.

He is one of those rare marketers who can turn words into a magic elixir . . . from the stage or through his sensational copy. He has a knack for turning lemons into lemonade . . .”

In this Episode we’ll be talking about:

• Living The International Lifestyle.
• How to turn your words into cash.

Entrepreneurs with big growth goals realize there’s a substantial gap between where they are now and where they want to be. Sharon Cully, owner and founder of Simply Processes, knows the best way to close that gap is through a clear, robust vision and well-crafted processes all with the right level of focus.

Over the course of 15+ years managing teams and leading projects in blue chip FMCG companies (including Coca-Cola, Diageo and GlaxoSmithKline), Sharon has successfully employed best practices and process improvement methods to increase performance and minimize inventory/operating costs, all while meeting customer objectives. She’s learned what it takes for large companies to succeed and grow, and that ongoing, recurring problems can kill business growth.

Sharon founded Simply Processes as a way to utilize her corporate experience to help smaller entrepreneurial companies gain control over their business processes, ultimately making more money while also freeing up the owner’s time, giving them more choices – to grow or sell their business, or simply work less. She works with entrepreneurs who have already been successful, but are now feeling stuck, helping them scale to the next level by working with their teams to put systems and processes in place. Clear, documented tasks and responsibilities, along with successful automation and delegation, ensure that everyone delivers consistently outstanding results.

Sharon is based in the UK but also spends a few months a year visiting family in New Zealand and South Africa, successfully avoiding the winter! Owning an online coaching and consulting business fits in well with her travels.

What we cover during the episode:

• Setting goals for your business and how to go about reaching them
• Why processes are critical to achieving your big growth goals
• Clarifying your personal measures of success - not always measured in dollar terms
• How to bring your team with you on a change journey
• Coaching and developing your team to get the best from them

Native South African, David Stafford's parents originate from the UK.

Nothing much on early life, except I did kind of beat a Mild version of Thyroid Cancer as a teenager.

My career path started when I studied Finance in Uni to get into the hedgefund world, but in my Third year - I had a change of heart. I job-shadowed a Portfolio Manager for big local hedge fund and all I saw was that this career would be the death of me.

So, midway in my third year, I did a lot of self-development, exploring options across the board. Rich Dad Poor Dad made me realize I needed to become a Business Owner.

And from there I met my first mentor: Ryan Sletcher. He brought me into the Internet Marketing World and brought out my love for advertising.

From there, after learning all about Info Product Marketing from him - I went my own way, freelanced and had projects working with awesome companies from all over the world. Education Brands, Local Celebs, Growing Tech Companies etc.

Decided to focus down on the Therapy industry after I saw amazing results working with a local Reflexologist and as I speak, am now making the transition from the Agency business model, to the consulting business model.

David will soon be launching Client Engine which is an Lead Generation Accelerator programme for Therapists...watch this space.

What we’ll be covering on this Episode:

• Advertising Strategies, Platforms & Practices that work in 2020
• When to start advertising for yourself
• Changing business models and what it takes to build a killer coaching/consulting program (feel like you and I can rap on that one for a bit.)
• One type of advert you can make RIGHT NOW, that can bring in new clients by this time next week.
• What it takes to succeed with advertising
• A bit on how to scale (we'll leave the juicy parts for your Fearless Business Group ;) )

A message from Dino Tartaglia - Heading for my bus pass (as I write this (not literally, but in years 😉), I've taken my original training as an Electrical & Electronics Engineer, then Chartered Engineer and finally as a Business Development guy, and used this to advise, troubleshoot, build, shut down and otherwise help 1,000+ companies from Globals to kitchen-table operations, in 20+ countries, across 5 continents for 30+ years.

Part-mentor, part-coach, part-troubleshooter and ALL business, I've been operational in the online space for a couple of years now running Success Engineers as a JV with my good friend, Simon Hartley, World Class Sports Psych and Coach.

We help Expert Business owners clarify & simplify what they are in business to do (which they've often lost sight of), and then help them achieve exactly that.

We've developed a different way of looking at business and how it is (and should be) run and our real M.O. is taking insights from the very best in the world and helping others adopt those principles to improve their personal performance, their team's performance (where relevant) and the performance of their business.

On this episode we discuss:

• Concept: The Boat [Components of a Successful Business Vehicle]
• Concept: Character-led Business. Why mindset is not the real success factor in business...
• "Traits before States"
• Philosophy: Better Thinking Builds Better Business
• Idea: Choosing your client based on Character and Disposition, not just demographics & psychographics, etc
• Approach: Seduced by Complexity. Why Simple is Best (Tina Turner had it [almost] right)

Your New Years Resolutions WILL FAIL

Why?

Well, there are three main reasons:

REASON #1

Your New Year Resolution is simply TOO BIG.

If you want to succeed at your New Years Resolution then START NOW.

You need to start planning your resolution now, breaking your big goal down into smaller achievable milestones. Otherwise, you'll start on Jan 1st and the goal you've set for yourself will simply be too big.

A resolution is for life NOT JUST for New Year.

Better to CHOOSE TO START YOUR RESOLUTION NOW...

...Than to put it off for another Month until you are "forced" into taking action.

REASON #2

You are fighting the Reptile part of your brain.

When you start in the New Year, you will immediately be triggering Fight, Flight or Freeze because you are trying to do something that you've been putting off until now.

You haven't got your brain comfortable and desensitised to the new behaviour patterns.

This is the most likely reason you will fail because those first 30 days will feel really bloody uncomfortable.

So, start training your reptile NOW.

REASON #3

You did it just because it's a New Year Resolution.

Basically your "WHY" needs to be much stronger than it's a New Year Resolution.

You must have a specific goal in mind to achieve with your new lifestyle change, as well as determined the activities you'll be doing to achieve that goal and FINALLY have a MASSIVE DESIRE to achieve the goal.

Otherwise, you'll be apathetic towards your resolution and not complete it.

Kate Hunter is an Executive Coach who helps high achieving Women to revive & redefine their Purpose, Mind-Set and Goals, to achieve success on their terms, through her proven Coaching programmes.

Don’t Wait Until You’ve Finished Climbing, To Realise You’re On The Wrong Ladder. Another pay increase, a fancier job title, the name on your office door. To anybody watching, your life looks pretty damn great. So why does work feel like such a chore? Success doesn’t always equal happiness. The two are not mutually exclusive.

In this episode Kate introduces the listener to the Ikigai model, Ikigai is a Japanese term for Purpose, AKA your reason for getting out of bed. It’s that sweet spot of getting paid to do what you love. Throughout your life, your ikigai will shift; it’s never too late to revive and redefine.

We also broke down what's amiss in the coaching and consulting world, with coaches spending $1,000s on training and certifications yet neglecting the core business skills around attracting clients and getting paid what you're worth.
