Do you want to know how to develop an entrepreneurial mindset? Fortunately for you, there’s a wealth of entrepreneurship training at your fingertips. And much of it is free.The problem is that a lot of people think that an entrepreneurial mindset is something you’re just born with. They look at famous entrepreneurs and think that they’re just geniuses who had some kind of genetic advantage. While it’s true that some people may be predisposed to becoming an entrepreneur, it’s primarily something that’s learned.Keeping this in mind is important because many people are intimidated just because they think it’s innate. Removing that stumbling block is a good first step towards learning how to develop an entrepreneurial mindset.The next question is…where do I find entrepreneurship training? What’s the best place to start?The thing is, you need to start studying business. That means reading books, watching business videos on Youtube, or attending webinars. Even better, you can get a mentor or business coach who will work with you one-on-one to accelerate your learning.You can also join business networking groups, or even go out and interview your favorite entrepreneurs yourself.As you can see, there are loads of ways to get going on your entrepreneurship training.

If you’re operating a business in a declining market like the UK, you need to consider how you can survive recession. It’s crucial in these situations that you realize just how vital a business marketing and sales strategy is. Today, I explain why.Perhaps your business has been doing well pre-pandemic. And although you took a knock during the pandemic and its subsequent lockdowns, you still saw your business through. But now, you probably begin to notice a decline in your average customer spend. The economic decline has affected most people’s income, which means they have less money to spend.You might also feel that the shrinking economy has led to fewer leads for your business than you’ve had before from referrals. For this reason, you need a business marketing and sales strategy to survive recession and ultimately steer your business forward despite being in a market that’s on a downturn.And if you already have a marketing and sales strategy, you have to ask yourself, have you updated it to tackle the current declining market? Is it enough to move the needle for you?Stay tuned to see why having a business marketing and sales strategy can help your business survive recession, and how you can develop one that’s sure to help you thrive despite the down market.--------------------CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAH:--------------------http://www.Boolkah.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Boolkahhttps://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahhttps://twitter.com/boolkah--------------------ABOUT PETER BOOLKAH--------------------Peter Boolkah (AKA The Transition Guy) is the World’s #1 Business Transition Coach whose main passion in life is to work with talented and high performing business owners who are in the process of creating exciting, high growth businesses. Peter helps you to navigate and transition through the crucial growth pains that all growing businesses experience making it as painless and exciting as possible.It is important to remember that businesses do not just grow and develop on their own, it is up to us and our teams to make this happen by making every day purposeful. As businesses grow some parts of the journey will be easier than others and most owners do not have all the answers.

Many people have business ideas that seem like they might work. But how can you really tell if you have a good business idea or business concept that’s likely to succeed in a crowded marketplace? In today’s episode, I share how to know whether what you have is a viable business idea or not.So, you have a business idea that you’re excited about that you want to test on the market. Perhaps you’ve told a few friends about it, and they’ve encouraged you to go ahead with it. But there are other things to consider before you invest your life savings into making it work.For example, does your business idea or business concept address a want, need, or desire in the marketplace? To know if you have a good business idea or a viable business idea, you have to know which category yours lies in today’s crowded marketplace.If people WANT a product, they’ll be prepared to spend money on it. When people NEED a product, they can’t go without it, so this automatically compels them to purchase it. DESIRE, on the other hand, is a different level of want.Second, you’ve got to ask yourself – can you make money from it? How much potential money can you make out of your business concept?

Are any of us born entrepreneurs? There’s an ongoing discussion about whether entrepreneurs are born or made. Personally, I don’t believe that entrepreneurs are born but that they’re made through an entrepreneurial environment.From my knowledge of biology, it’s hard to believe that a genome exists that makes people born entrepreneurs. However, some people can be born with traits that are necessary for entrepreneurship. For example, the ability to take risks or to invest fearlessly.But more than those traits that people are predisposed to have, I’d say that entrepreneurs are born into entrepreneurial environments that nurture them into entrepreneurship. If you’re surrounded by people with entrepreneurial habits and traits, they rub off on you, and that shapes your behavior and future.If you’ve started a business or businesses, you’re already considered an entrepreneur. But what makes and separates a successful entrepreneur from others? When it comes to entrepreneurship, I believe that it’s definitely a case of nurture rather than nature.I simply think that there’s no such thing as born entrepreneurs. Keep watching to hear how I think entrepreneurs are made through an entrepreneurial environment rather than through biological causes.--------------------CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAH:--------------------http://www.Boolkah.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Boolkahhttps://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahhttps://twitter.com/boolkah--------------------ABOUT PETER BOOLKAH--------------------Peter Boolkah (AKA The Transition Guy) is the World’s #1 Business Transition Coach whose main passion in life is to work with talented and high performing business owners who are in the process of creating exciting, high growth businesses. Peter helps you to navigate and transition through the crucial growth pains that all growing businesses experience making it as painless and exciting as possible.It is important to remember that businesses do not just grow and develop on their own, it is up to us and our teams to make this happen by making every day purposeful. As businesses grow some parts of the journey will be easier than others and most owners do not have all the answers.

In today’s video, I’m joined by Dov Baron, the architect of Emotional Source Code, a best-selling author and an overall genius, as we discuss how self determination is one of the most critical success factors that can lead you to your future success.For many people, a strong start isn’t always possible. Whether it’s because of where you’re born, the time you were born, or other circumstances, many people find themselves in adverse situations at the beginning of their journey.Dov Baron was no different. He had a rough start to his life. He was brought up surrounded by crime, poverty, violence and abuse. He also later discovered that he had dyslexia, which made it hard for him to be in school. All obvious success factors just weren’t there, and made his future success seem like an impossible task for many.But he knew he was never going to reach his full potential and would just be wasting his time in this traditional school setting. So with self determination, he left school early at the age of 13 to pursue a different path in entrepreneurship.While the schooling system works for many, it’s not made for everyone. Not all people are academically strong, and not everyone thrives in that kind of structured environment. But that shouldn’t stop anyone from pursuing their own success. His current life is a testament to the fact that how you start isn’t how you end if you pursue success.Stay tuned to hear from Dov Baron about how positive self determination is one of the key success factors can influence your future success, especially if you remain curious about the possibilities that are out there for you to learn and thrive.--------------------CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAH:--------------------http://www.Boolkah.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Boolkahhttps://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahhttps://twitter.com/boolkah--------------------ABOUT PETER BOOLKAH--------------------Peter Boolkah (AKA The Transition Guy) is the World’s #1 Business Transition Coach whose main passion in life is to work with talented and high performing business owners who are in the process of creating exciting, high growth businesses. Peter helps you to navigate and transition through the crucial growth pains that all growing businesses experience making it as painless and exciting as possible.It is important to rem CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAH:--------------------http://www.Boolkah.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Boolkahhttps://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahhttps://twitter.com/boolkah--------------------ABOUT PETER BOOLKAH--------------------Peter Boolkah (AKA The Transition Guy) is the World’s #1 Business Transition Coach whose main passion in life is to work with talented and high performing business owners who are in the process of creating exciting, high growth businesses.

Hiring new salespeople won’t solve your problem! In this episode, I chat with Jim Padilla, CEO of Gain the Edge, about why having sales processes is actually the most crucial to the success of any business (and not changing up your salespeople).The idea of process in sales is something disliked by many people who view sales as an art form. It’s true that there IS a certain aspect of sales that comes down to skills and ability, but the process needs to be there in order to make your sales consistent.It’s no secret that the sales process has drastically changed. Yet very few companies have adapted to these changes. Companies still tend to educate salespeople on the products they sell, rather than on the problems that they can solve for customers. As Jim Padilla and I discuss, knowing about a product is irrelevant if you don't know the problem that you can solve with it.By thinking about process in sales, you can develop a long term method for generating revenue. Sales processes allow you to keep one eye on the present, while making sure that the foundation is being laid out for future success.When you systematize the sales process, you allow your entire team to become excellent salespeople. Get clear on what you can solve. Have a core story that everyone can share.Having a process in sales is about making your whole team rockstar closers. As you might learn from this conversation of mine with Jim Padilla, your problem might not be your salespeople. You may just need to get the right sales processes, and you’ll have continued success for a long time to come.--------------------CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAH:--------------------http://www.Boolkah.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Boolkahhttps://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahhttps://twitter.com/boolkah--------------------ABOUT PETER BOOLKAH--------------------Peter Boolkah (AKA The Transition Guy) is the World’s #1 Business Transition Coach whose main passion in life is to work with talented and high performing business owners who are in the process of creating exciting, high growth businesses. Peter helps you to navigate and transition through the crucial growth pains that all growing businesses experience making it as painless and exciting as possible.It is important to remember that businesses do not just grow and develop on their own, CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAH:--------------------http://www.Boolkah.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Boolkahhttps://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahhttps://twitter.com/boolkah--------------------ABOUT PETER BOOLKAH--------------------Peter Boolkah (AKA The Transition Guy) is the World’s #1 Business Transition Coach whose main passion in life is to work with talented and high performing business owners who are in the process of creating exciting, high growth businesses.

In this episode, I chat with Brent Keltner, CEO of Winalytics and author of “The Revenue Acceleration Playbook”, about how customer success stories and client testimonials can transform your sales process.Testimonial marketing is a powerful tool these days, given how noisy the world is. With such an overabundance of information on social media, we as customers have become very resistant to traditional marketing techniques.The traditional approach to marketing was very product-driven. But data shows that the old way is no longer yielding the same results that it used to. Instead, new techniques are needed that better resonate with customers.That’s where customer success stories and client testimonials come in.When we hear a statement, our brains are naturally wired to resist. But testimonial marketing is about getting around this impulse to resist. When you lead with stories about your peers, there's a shift from “you and me” to “we”. That change can make people more receptive.Another benefit of this type of marketing is that it’s a great way to get referrals. When you go to your customers and have conversations with them, it can be both a learning opportunity, and an opportunity for you to find other people who you can help.Simply ask, "Who else like you might benefit from the success we've had together?"Incentives are no longer enough to get referrals because people are so inundated with information. By using customer success stories, however, people will be happy to spread the word about you.Most business owners neglect testimonial marketing and stick to traditional approaches. But by sharing the past successes you’ve had through client testimonials, you can gain the trust of a whole new batch of customers.--------------------CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAH:--------------------http://www.Boolkah.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Boolkahhttps://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahhttps://twitter.com/boolkah--------------------ABOUT PETER BOOLKAH--------------------Peter Boolkah (AKA The Transition Guy) is the World’s #1 Business Transition Coach whose main passion in life is to work with talented and high performing business owners who are in the process of creating exciting, high growth businesses. Peter helps you to navigate and transition through the crucial growth pa CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAH:--------------------http://www.Boolkah.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Boolkahhttps://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahhttps://twitter.com/boolkah--------------------ABOUT PETER BOOLKAH--------------------Peter Boolkah (AKA The Transition Guy) is the World’s #1 Business Transition Coach whose main passion in life is to work with talented and high performing business owners who are in the process of creating exciting, high growth businesses.

For many of us, our homes have turned into workspaces since the pandemic started. And while employee burnout isn’t unheard of, remote working burnout seems to be an even more rampant problem that’s been on the rise since. Today, I talk to Phil Strazzulla of SelectSoftware Reviews about work from home burnout, and how we can help employees better cope with it.One of the main consequences of the pandemic was how it accelerated the transition to remote work for a lot of businesses. While this is a positive change for a lot of companies in many ways, it has also had some adverse effects.This rapid adjustment to the change in work setup has undoubtedly had an effect on employees in the form of work from home burnout, not to mention the additional stresses to the average worker – fear of the Corona Virus, the global recession, the war in Ukraine – these have all made coping with remote working burnout an even more challenging task.All these factors together have indeed taken employee burnout to a whole new level. And as business leaders, it’s our responsibility to try and mitigate this.Stay tuned to hear more of my conversation with Phil Strazzulla of SelectSoftware Reviews, as we dive deep into the problem of remote working burnout or work from home burnout in today’s increasingly digital workplace.--------------------CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAH:--------------------http://www.Boolkah.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Boolkahhttps://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahhttps://twitter.com/boolkah--------------------ABOUT PETER BOOLKAH--------------------Peter Boolkah (AKA The Transition Guy) is the World’s #1 Business Transition Coach whose main passion in life is to work with talented and high performing business owners who are in the process of creating exciting, high growth businesses. Peter helps you to navigate and transition through the crucial growth pains that all growing businesses experience making it as painless and exciting as possible.It is important to remember that businesses do not just grow and develop on their own, it is up to us and our teams to make this happen by making every day purposeful. As businesses grow some parts of the journey will be easier than others and most owners do not have all the answers.

In this episode, I talk to Kate DiLeo about how to create meaningful conversations so you can truly engage with customers, and have better ways to take people through your customer journey so you can reach a level of customer engagement that actually converts.It all comes down to the types of conversations you’re having. If you’re simply throwing information at people, then they won’t want to engage. But when you speak to them and develop a connection through your brand message, you’ll be able to better convert your traffic.What made us predisposed to generic, megaphone marketing in the first place?For one thing, there’s sales funnels. These allow marketers to offer multiple ways of purchasing, and hit audiences with multiple offers. But this involves an overwhelming amount of information which doesn’t really help us engage with customers.Then there's "Story Brand". This is about making the customer the center of your story. The problem is that many of us took that idea, and ended up writing paragraph after paragraph about ourselves, without allowing room for meaningful conversations and true customer engagement.If you want to create a more effective way to keep people engaged throughout the customer journey, you first have to ask yourself if you’re actually creating conversations that convert. Do you push them to take the next step?To do so, you need to focus on your brand messaging. Order of messaging is critical. Buyers want to know what you do, how you can solve their problem, and how you're different from your competitors.Today, meaningful conversations and the resulting customer engagement are the keys to successful marketing. People don’t want to be bombarded by information. They want to take part in their own customer journey.Remember, know who you’re going after, know where they’re showing up, and engage with customers by always writing messages that resonate with your ideal customer.--------------------CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAH:--------------------http://www.Boolkah.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Boolkahhttps://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahhttps://twitter.com/boolkah--------------------ABOUT PETER BOOLKAH--------------------Peter Boolkah (AKA The Transition Guy) is the World’s #1 Business Transition Coach whose main passion in life is to work with tal CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAH:--------------------http://www.Boolkah.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Boolkahhttps://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahhttps://twitter.com/boolkah--------------------ABOUT PETER BOOLKAH--------------------Peter Boolkah (AKA The Transition Guy) is the World’s #1 Business Transition Coach whose main passion in life is to work with talented and high performing business owners who are in the process of creating exciting, high growth businesses.
