This week we dive into the powerful tools that can help manage your mind. We discuss how our brains tend to look for evidence to reinforce negative thoughts and how negative past experiences can influence our beliefs in the present. It is crucial to remind ourselves of positive experiences to reinforce positive thoughts. We explore the example of someone hesitating to put themselves online due to a negative comment from the past and how to counter negative thoughts with positive ones.  I'm sharing: Why is it important to remind ourselves of positive experiences and reinforce positive thoughts How does the brain's natural inclination to seek out negative thoughts impact our mindset  How you can handle distracting thoughts and prioritise your desired path 'Flip the script' exercise    Make sure you check out our freebies page www.suzchadwick.com/freebies.

Let's talk about some of the things you can do to keep building your confidence in business as you evolve and grow. I know through conversations with clients and conversations with groups when I speak that confidence is always a big topic - but I want to flip it and say that when we learn to manage our thinking, confidence is a byproduct of that. There are 6 things I want to share with you today. Understanding that our brain naturally has a negative bias That your brain is not actually you and you choose to accept or reject thoughts When we have intentional thought creation we'll achieve more of the things we want because we're fuelling ourselves with the thoughts we need That self-validation is one of the most powerful practices and tools you can build in your business and life Understanding your growth edges and as always embedding all these things with professional practices mean you're working on them regularly!

This week I'm having a fireside change with the lovely Maddy Avery, founder of Birdcage Marketing and Avery Academy of Marketing. With over 15 years' marketing experience, she's a digital marketer, TikTok content creator and business consultant. She's seen the ups and downs of building businesses online and helps business owners and professional marketers future-proof their marketing through funnels, marketing psychology and mindset advice.   I actually really got into Maddy's content on TikTok and like me (which we talk about) she resonates so much more with the video content format on TikTok rather than the curated vibes of Instagram.   In this conversation, we're covering it all. We talk about: Her journey of building a 14-person agency and then tearing it down to realign er vision with what she really wants How mindset and manifestation play a big part in her business and personal journey and how she works towards staying in a high vibration to attract the things she really wants. TikTok and how vide

In this week's episode I'm sharing a simple way of assessing things in your business. Mind, finding & filling the gaps is something that I've done for years and I think it was a concept I learned when I was working at Deloitte in London. It was a simple way of working. The question that would be asked often is - what's the gap? So when we were reporting back on where our teams were with the work we were doing, we would also share our numbers, our wins, what working really well and what we had achieved. The question would be - What's the gap? That gap could be with people in the team, it could be with a revenue shortfall, and it could be issued with our stakeholders. What was the gap between where we were now and where we wanted to be and how could be fill that gap as quickly and effectively as possible? So in your business, there could be a lot of good things happening but you know where your gaps are. There are 3 things you can do to fill the gap: Mind the gap - Assess what areas need attention Find t

In this episode, we're talking about learning like you're a newbie. I've been in sales, marketing, business and branding for over 20 years, I've had my business for over 8, I've had my podcast for over 5 years now and I'm a big believer in having a simple business.   I shared this with a client the other day that I believe in simple business - that doesn't mean it's easy but you can keep it simple by focusing on the key things that matter.   So whilst I'm focusing on the simple business buckets that I talk about and teach in BBA, I'm always looking at how I can get better at those things.   You think you've nailed your copy, content and marketing the Chat GPT comes along. You think that you're growing on Instagram then reels come along. You think you'll never get on TikTok then you realise that actually, that's a great way to grow a new audience.   So even though you might be highly qualified and experienced, not having a big head about it and always being willing to learn new things is so important in busine

Today on the podcast I'm talking about getting creative to generate more business.  Let's talk about getting creative with your offers and just think differently.  The market will always be changing and evolving and you have to do the same.  What does the market look like right now, how does my business look right now, and what can I do that brings those two together in a better way?   Keep speaking to your customers and see what they are focused on right now. It may not mean that you're changing your offers up it might mean that you need to talk about them in a different way and target different pain points.  Create versions of your offers and test those out, bundle, add bonuses or value adds. I tested out the 90-day Amplify Mini-mind which attracted more 1 on 1 client, so that was interesting to see.  Start thinking about and planning your End of Financial year offers Play with different strategies - go back to your email list and send personal messages - I picked up 2 new clients in the last few weeks doin

Today on the podcast I'm talking about shifting your brand position.  When you're looking to shift your brand position there are few key things that you have to do, but I want to talk about what brand position is, the elements of brand positioning and then we'll talk about how to shift yours.  I talk about this in a number of my masterclasses and I give the example of a grey leather pull-string bag.  I show 2.  Both are grey, both are leather, both have metal hardware, and both look similar, but one bag is $199 from Country road and the other $3999 from Chanel.  The only real difference apart from some design elements.  Google says: A Brand positioning refers to the unique value that a brand presents to its customer. It is a marketing strategy brands create to establish their brand identity while conveying their value proposition, which is the reason why a customer would prefer their brand over others.    To read the transcript and access the show notes head to www.suzchadwick.com/pod277 To join the Bold Busi
