    Ep39. What It REALLY Takes To Have Your Business Work Without You (with Marc Eccles and Lewis Haydon)

    Business owners, entrepreneurs, CEOs... have you ever wondered what REALLY takes to have your business work without you? In this episode of the CEO's Secret Weapon, two business coaches (that own businesses too) collide as they discuss the real life challenges business owners face whilst building a business that can work without them. Today, your host coach Lewis Haydon interviews business coach Marc Eccles as he talks about his journey as a business owner and why he became a business coach. Marc talks about he started as an electrical apprentice all the way to the day he completed his business and it got to a stage that it could grow without him. In this episode Marc discusses the various levels of the 'E-Ladder' becoming a manager, business owner, investor and entrepreneur, along with the roller coaster of emotions it had on him at each level — and how the right coach for him, Kent Rhodes, helped him go from electrician to entrepreneur and beyond. If you are a business owner that is looking for leverage then be sure to grab a pen and listen to this epsiosde as Marc Eccles is as real as they come when it comes to being an entrepreneur and a business coach. You will be in serious danger of learning some great new tips and tools that will help you on your entrepreneur journey. As always, be sure to connect with Lewis Haydon or Stuart Walter on LinkedIn to engage with the CEO Secret Weapon community. Be great, Lewis

    Ep37. Selling without Selling (Stuart Walter)

    I hate selling... I hate being sold to... How do we then build a business, negotiate salary, deal with partners, employees and bring opportunities to the business if we dont sell? Again, lets understand the difference at an emotional level and avoid the pitfalls of the 'new age selling process', that we all hate, except marketing companies who love to tell you how useless you are if you don't follow their system. And then we have the self labelled 'experts', you know the ones that connect on social media. Does this sound familiar? "Hi I am _______ I would love to connect you understand your business". Now you have, let me ram a product down your throat and make you feel less that adequate or a failure if you don't use this system. This seems to be the way all the 'experts' suggest you should approach a sale now. No wonder people hate selling, and being sold to. It does not have to be this way, every one of my clients over the years can guarantee they have not been pushed, guilted or sold to. They enter the process, in their own time and most of the time I push them away initially, until I know they are committed and ready for the evolution. So why am I busy? results and the ability to understand the clients needs, how the they internally process and how to talk to them at their level. 2 simple and powerful words for any meeting, presentation or sales pitch, "Matching and Pacing". Master this and the world is yours. Enjoy the episode, Stuart Walter on behalf of Lewis Haydon The CEO's Secret Weapon Podcast Team.

    Ep 36. Managing negative news, calls or experiences (Stuart Walter)

    As we all know, everything always works out soo well in business and life! According to the law of averages, the pathway is going to be a balance of 50/50 great and not so (insert your own words here) A great day is not actually a great day, it is a great attitude to the experience, call or situation you find yourself in. Some people love chaos, they believe they thrive in it. So ask yourself the question here, do they create 'Chaos' in order to thrive and feel alive? probably yes! This week we cover the mindset when it comes to negative news, or experiences, and remembering that personal stuff does influence your work, your workers and yourself. How you respond as the CEO/ Leader in this situation will influence those around you in business and at home. So how can we manage the response to these negative stimuli? Well, to be able to change, we first need to understand, why we respond the way we do. Now we know why, we can plan to change and we have the perfect tool to be able to help here and that is 'The Dear Dairy Process'. my published book. An this is not a sell job coming. I outlined this in Episode 8 of this Podcast and you are able to go to www.ceosecretweapon.info for your FREE download.
