Overcoming Blind Spots with Curtis McCullom

What if the biggest thing holding your business back isn't your strategy, but something you can't quite see? In this eye-opening episode, Clive Enever sits down with Curtis McCullom, founder of Bespoke Human Potential, to explore how blind spots in mindset can quietly sabotage even the most driven entrepreneurs. Curtis shares how subconscious beliefs formed early in life can quietly steer behaviour, limit success and cause repeating patterns, even for high achievers. Drawing on decades of experience in sales, coaching, hypnosis, and neurolinguistic programming, Curtis explains how identifying and releasing hidden mental blocks can unlock performance, confidence and clarity. Whether you're a seasoned business owner or just starting, this episode is a powerful reminder that success isn't just about doing more, but also about thinking differently. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why Strategy Isn't Always Enough Many entrepreneurs do everything "right" on paper but still feel stuck. Curtis explains why mindset misalignment can stop momentum, and how to spot it. The Blind Spot Effect Just like driving, we all have blind spots in business. Curtis shares how to identify what you can't see, and how addressing it can shift your entire trajectory. What Really Stops Business Owners Failure often isn't due to lack of skill or knowledge. Curtis discusses how fear, limiting beliefs, and a misunderstanding of failure contribute to why many businesses don't last. Change Can Be Instant Change doesn't have to take years. Curtis reveals how quick breakthroughs can happen when you address the root of a belief, not just the symptom. From Sales to Mindset Coaching Hear Curtis's journey from leading sales teams to helping entrepreneurs overcome self-sabotage and imposter syndrome. Work-Life Clarity Curtis shares how he keeps his business thriving without sacrificing relationships or personal well-being, and why having clear values is key to staying aligned. Curtis's Advice for Business Owners Get Clear on What You Want: Vague goals lead to vague results. Know your destination and why it matters. Have More Than One Reason Why: Your "why" needs to be strong enough to carry you through setbacks. Trust Your Intuition: Small nudges, like making a call or writing that email, often lead to big outcomes. Reframe Failure: Don't treat setbacks as stop signs. They're feedback, not final verdicts. Don't Go It Alone: Even coaches need coaches. Reach out for guidance when you're stuck. Your Next Step Feeling like something's holding you back, but you can't quite name it?

How Posture Impacts Your Business with Dr Brett Hill

Your posture says more about your health and mindset than you think. In this episode of the Business Owners Podcast, Clive Enever sits down with Dr Brett Hill, chiropractor and founder of Your Posture Program, to explore the surprising connection between posture and everything from leadership presence to mental clarity and business performance. Brett shares how years of working with clients, both in-clinic and now online, revealed posture as a core issue impacting pain, stress, confidence, and even communication. The conversation covers his business journey from a 200-square-foot practice to a multidisciplinary clinic, why he avoided traditional models, and how his mission to help others led to creating a program that empowers people to take control of their health. Whether you're sitting at a desk all day or leading a team, this episode offers practical insights into how subtle changes in posture can lead to meaningful shifts in energy, presence, and personal well-being. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why posture is more than sitting up straight It's not about holding a pose, it's about brain-body awareness, muscle tone, and alignment that support long-term health and resilience. The hidden cost of ignoring posture From shoulder injuries to brain fog, poor posture has ripple effects across your daily life and business performance. The truth about "quick fixes" Dr Brett explains why repeated chiropractic sessions without retraining your body can be like taking a pill, and why long-term change requires retraining posture, not just treating pain. How to build a purpose-led business model Brett shares how staying true to his values (even when it wasn't profitable) helped him create a business that delivers real impact. Posture's role in confidence and leadership The way you hold yourself affects how others see you and how you see yourself. Good posture boosts energy, clarity and communication. The power of presence Brett discusses the importance of being intentional with your time, both in business and life, and how posture plays into mindfulness and awareness. Brett's Advice for Business Owners Don't follow a business model that doesn't align with your values. You might grow slower, but you'll build something you're proud of. Plan your time, or it'll get taken from you. Prioritise family, rest and recovery just as much as work. Empower your clients. True impact comes from helping people help themselves, not keeping them dependent on your service. Be intentional with your body. Your posture affects how you feel, how you lead and how well you show up in the world. Small changes make a big difference. Just five minutes a day of posture work can shift your energy, clarity and confidence. Your Next Step Discover how your posture might be holding you back, and how to fix it.

Mastering Advice: How to Filter Business Guidance with Jane Tweedy

We're surrounded by advice in business - Facebook groups, friends, family, social media, coaches, YouTube, and even AI. But how do you know what advice to actually take on board? In this episode of the Business Owners Podcast, Linda Reed-Enever sits down with experienced business coach and trainer Jane Tweedy to explore how to filter through the noise and focus on guidance that aligns with your business goals. Having personally supported over 2000 small business owners and with more than a decade of experience in coaching, training, and SEO strategy, Jane brings a powerful mix of practicality, honesty, and lived wisdom. Together, she and Linda break down how to tell the difference between helpful insights and harmful distractions, and how to stay focused in a world that's always telling you to "do more". Whether you're navigating conflicting advice, questioning a new strategy, or just feeling overwhelmed by input, this episode is packed with tools to help you take back control. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why not all advice is created equal From well-meaning friends to random SEO "experts", Jane unpacks the danger of listening to people who don't understand your business or your goals. The MASTER Framework Jane shares her MASTER framework, Mindset, Aim, Strategy, Tactics, Execution, and Review, to help business owners stay grounded and filter advice through a smart, structured lens. Understanding who to trust Linda and Jane explore how to assess whether an advisor, coach, or even an AI tool is actually suitable for your needs, and how to tell if someone's giving advice from experience or from fear. Setting boundaries with clients and offerings Jane and Linda reflect on real-world stories from their own businesses, showing how over-giving (and not sticking to boundaries) can lead to burnout, misalignment, and confusion about your value. How entrepreneurial mindsets and ADHD traits intersect Jane explains how the traits that make entrepreneurs thrive - curiosity, fast thinking, and creativity - can also cause overwhelm and constant course-changing without a plan. Finding your niche without boxing yourself in From seasonal pivots to changing customer needs, Jane shares how to embrace flexibility in your niche while still speaking directly to your ideal clients. Jane's Advice for Business Owners Mindset matters: If you don't believe in yourself, it's hard for anyone else to. Work on your internal dialogue as much as your external strategy. Check the source: Don't take advice from people who haven't walked in your shoes, especially when it comes to business strategy, legal, or financial decisions. Don't blindly follow trends: Whether it's a YouTube tip, Facebook group comment, or AI-generated idea, filter it through your business goals and reality. Know your boundaries: Be clear about what each level of your offering includes. Stop giving VIP service to budget clients. Slow down to speed up: Make time to review your strategy, goals, and systems instead of constantly reacting to what's trending. Key Takeaway You don't need to take on every piece of advice, only the guidance that aligns with your goals, values, and current stage of business. Stay true to what you're building, and don't let someone else's limiting beliefs steer your decisions. Action Step Review the last 5 pieces of advice you received. Ask yourself: Does this align with my goals right now? Is the source credible and relevant to my business? Am I ready to implement it, or am I just feeling pressured? Use Jane's MASTER framework to help you decide whether to act, pause, or let it go. Connect with Jane Tweedy: Website LinkedIn Ready to Get Support?

Outsmarting Challenges in Business with Kirsten Graham

When you're doing everything in your business, you're not doing the work that truly matters. In this episode of The Business Owners Podcast, Clive Enever sits down with Kirsten Graham, co-founder of Six Figure Business Coaching, to unpack how outsourcing and the right support systems can transform the way you grow. Kirsten shares her journey from mortgage broking to building a VA matching service that helps entrepreneurs stay in their zone of genius, doing the work they love, while expert virtual assistants take care of the rest. This conversation offers a deep dive into why business owners often struggle with delegation, how to shift into the mindset of a real CEO, and the steps you can take to set up systems that support consistent growth and freedom. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why Support Beats Burnout Most entrepreneurs start out wearing all the hats, but that doesn't mean you should. Kirsten shares how hiring support early, even before you feel "ready", can prevent overwhelm and help you scale faster. Delegation Is a Skill, Not a Trait If you've ever said "I just can't delegate", Kirsten has news for you. She explains why delegation is a learnable business skill, and how even perfectionists can master it with structure and support. From Chaos to Clarity with Systems Discover how Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and clear expectations set your team, and your business, up for success. Why Hiring Before You're Ready Works Waiting until you're drowning is the worst time to hire. Kirsten outlines how to hire smart and build support before you burn out. Outsource What's Not Your Zone of Genius From bookkeeping to content marketing, Kirsten highlights the kinds of tasks you should be offloading so you can focus on growth, service, and strategy. AI Won't Replace VAs Who Evolve Kirsten also shares her perspective on AI and how the best virtual assistants will embrace tech to deliver even more value, not be replaced by it. Kirsten Graham's Advice for Business Owners - Waiting until you're underwater makes onboarding harder. Start with part-time help early. - If you're spending hours learning tasks you'll never master or enjoy, outsource them. - If it's good enough and gets the outcome, that's success. - Your business needs to reflect your goals, not someone else's template. - The best VAs will evolve and add even more value by integrating new tools. - If a task isn't revenue-generating or core to your zone of genius, it shouldn't sit on your to-do list.

Clear and Simple Strategies for Business Growth

Have you ever walked out of a strategy session feeling more confused than when you started? You're not alone. Business strategy can often seem complicated, but the truth is, real strategy is about clarity, and clarity is simple. Clive Enever breaks down how to move from strategy overwhelm to strategic momentum. He explains why simplicity drives better decisions, faster progress, and sustainable growth, and shares a practical three-step framework to help you refine your strategy without starting from scratch. The Power of Simplicity The most successful businesses aren't the most complex, they're the clearest. When your strategy is simple, you make smarter decisions, take faster action, and create systems that scale without stress. Complexity might look clever, but simplicity is what actually builds momentum. A 3-Step Framework for Business Clarity Revisit Your Purpose Every effective strategy starts with understanding why your business exists. It's not just about making money, but delivering a result for a specific client. Write your purpose in one clear sentence (around 14–18 words). If it takes a paragraph, it's not clear enough. Clarity here shapes every decision that follows. Refine Your Priorities There's always more to do in business, but not everything needs to be done. Focus on the one goal that will move your business forward in the next 90 days. Build your activity around that single objective and strip away the rest. Simplicity here creates focus, and focus creates results. Create Simple Systems Strategy only works when it's executed. Identify the repeatable steps that deliver your desired outcomes and document them. Delegate where possible, automate where practical, and ensure every process is easy to explain. If it's too complex, it won't stick. Put It Into Action Set aside 30 minutes with no meetings, no distractions, just you and your strategy. Ask yourself three questions: - What is my business really here to do? - What's my one priority for the next 90 days? - What simple systems will support that? Write your answers down and revisit them often. With clarity and consistency, you'll go further with a lot less stress. Why Simplicity Wins Every Time Growth comes from clear thinking and consistent action. By refining, not rebuilding, your strategy, you'll make better decisions, lead with confidence, and stay aligned with what truly matters in your business.
