In the realm of personal and professional growth, the concept of abundant thinking stands tall as a transformative force. 

In this episode, Adam Spencer and Bryan Santos delve into the crucial distinction between abundant thinking and scarcity or lack mindset thinking. They explore the reasons behind their discussion and emphasize the importance of language in shaping our thoughts. 

Rather than being consumed by what is lacking, it becomes paramount to redirect our attention towards what we truly desire. This shift in focus, accompanied by empowering questions and a solutions-oriented approach, paves the way for breaking free from the confinements of a scarcity mindset.

Cultivating self-awareness through practices such as journaling allows us to delve into our thoughts and emotions. This process unveils patterns, enabling us to gain a profound understanding of our mindset. Such introspection becomes a catalyst for personal growth and a springboard towards embracing abundance.

Recognizing our past decisions without judgment is a pivotal step in this transformative journey. Approaching ourselves with compassion and extending forgiveness for past limitations is essential. Through this self-compassion, we lay the foundation for embracing an abundant mindset.

As we challenge the limitations imposed by scarcity mindset thinking, we open ourselves to a world of possibilities. By shifting our focus towards what we desire, taking control of our actions, cultivating self-awareness, and practicing self-compassion, we awaken the dormant power within us. The journey towards abundant thinking is one of personal growth, fulfillment, and the realization of our true potential.

Cash flow emerges as a top challenge, affecting both personal and business realms. Growing up with financial struggles can contribute to these issues. The key question is: How can we reprogram ourselves and make necessary changes?. 

In today’s episode, Adam talks about the importance of mindset reprogramming, prioritizing profitability, and implementing effective money management practices with Bryan Santos.

Business owners often believe that securing more clients and assembling the right team will solve their financial problems. However, even with these in place, cash shortages persist. So why continue working if profits are insufficient? While making an impact is important, financial stability matters.

Being self-employed sometimes means paying oneself less than one would earn working for others. Business owners expect their hard work to yield financial rewards, but often revenue increases without corresponding profits. To address this, a shift from focusing solely on generating revenue to effective money management is crucial.

Ignoring financial management blinds business owners to their true financial status. The "she'll be right" mentality fails to provide a clear understanding of the business. Transitioning from a tradesperson to a business owner requires a mindset change, as emotional attachment and a lack of cost awareness can hinder progress.

Starting a business requires factoring in future expenses, such as new staff, higher wages, and equipment replacement costs. Hidden costs, if not accounted for, can jeopardize the business's success.

Regularly reviewing financial numbers and seeking help when needed are essential. Understanding your business's financial health ensures better financial outcomes.

Gain valuable insights and practical tips to address your financial challenges. Don't miss out—tune in today!

In the world of business, the ego plays a significant role in our decisions and interactions. When used wisely, it can be a driving force for success. However, if left unchecked, it can lead to conflicts and hinder progress. 

This week’s episode with Adam and Bryan explores the impact of ego in business and emphasizes the importance of self-awareness in harnessing its power effectively.

The ego represents our self-image, self-esteem, and desire for recognition and success. It can motivate and drive us, but it can also become a source of conflict and arrogance.

We must evaluate the origin of our decisions—are they driven by logical considerations or ego-driven desires? Striving for rational decision-making helps separate ego from sound judgment.

In both personal and business relationships, it's important to prioritize what truly matters and avoid unnecessary conflicts fueled by ego. Questioning the importance of certain issues allows us to focus on growth and well-being.

Tune in to gain valuable insights on how to navigate the impact of ego in your entrepreneurial journey.

In the ever-changing landscape of the economy, it is not uncommon to face downturns and challenges. However, these difficult times can also present unique opportunities for growth and success. When faced with adversity, it is important to adopt a proactive mindset and explore innovative strategies to navigate through uncertain waters.

In today’s episode Adam dives into this topic with Bryan Santos, shedding light on strategies to navigate the challenges of an ever-changing landscape.

During economic downturns, businesses often experience a decline in demand and financial instability. In such circumstances, it becomes crucial to think outside the box and identify ways to stay afloat. One effective approach is to offer customers better deals and added value. By providing incentives and unique propositions, businesses can attract and retain customers, even when the competition is slashing prices.

While businesses strive to adapt and grow, it is equally important to invest in employees and nurture a supportive work environment. Understanding the financial needs and concerns of employees is essential during times of economic uncertainty. 

Moreover, collaboration and networking can play a crucial role in overcoming challenges. By expanding professional networks, businesses can establish new partnerships, share insights, and learn from others in similar industries. 

Tune in to this insightful conversation for valuable insights on navigating challenges and taking your trades business to new heights.

We are approaching the middle of the year and it's a crucial time for businesses in Australia.

For today's episode, Brian and Adam dive into the topic of how to grow and scale your trades-based business, with a specific focus on leveraging the end of the financial year.

Instead of solely thinking about expenses and taxes, we need to view the end of the financial year as an opportunity to increase our income. By shifting our mindset and taking advantage of the timing, we can push towards our goals... AND EVEN SURPASS THEM!

Our hosts share their personal strategy of using a calendar date or time to indicate an upcoming price increase, creating a sense of urgency for potential customers, and MORE!

For those in the trades industry, we suggest that you reach out to customers who have previously received quotes but haven't taken action. By following up and offering a 30% deposit or a 50% upfront payment, tradies can encourage customers to move forward with their projects, generating more work and income.

Beyond just increasing income, it's VERY important to understand the SIGNIFICANCE OF TAKING PRIDE in what you do. 

The end of the financial year doesn't need to be stressful. 

With the involvement of your teams in the goal-setting process and use this season as a motivating factor to push for more jobs and invoices, we can finish the year strong!

So, buckle up and get ready to take your trades-based business to the next level!
