    Ready for a Midlife Career Change? with Josh Peck

    My guest today is the wonderful Josh Peck! This is the first time I’ve had the chance to chat with Josh, a midlife career change coach who helps mid to senior level professionals find more fulfilment in their careers without sacrificing salary. Josh and I dive deep into why so many people seek career changes in their 40s, plus what that process looks like practically, the challenges of finding a new balance, and the fulfilment that waits on the other side. We break down common pitfalls, like the pressure to stick to an 8 hour workday, how to avoid becoming your own toxic boss, and challenging the idea that a career change means starting completely from scratch (hint: it doesn’t!). Tune in for insights on how to balance what you want in life with what you want from your career, and of course the money side of it all. Be sure to learn more about Josh at: https://yourbestlifeuk.com And on Instagram @yourbestlifeuk QUOTE “If you want a career change, it's because your job's here and you're way over there and there's this gulf between them. If you want to realign who you are with what you do, you've got to be really bloody clear about who you are at this point in your life. Because we change so much and no one teaches us stuff, most just aren't that clear unless you've done a fair amount of work on who you are.” “Money’s not bad, its neutral. What you choose to do with it is what YOU choose to do.” “What we learn when we're really small is that all of our worth and our value comes from doing rather than just being. Is it any wonder that we get absolutely addicted to working, working, working? If we're not working, then what value do we think that we have?

    The secret reason you're not selling

    Feeling stuck with your sales but can’t put your finger on why? There is one specific block that comes up with most of my clients when this happens… and the tricky part is that most people can’t see it in themselves! In this episode, I’m revealing the secret spiral that so many business owners get into, where you doubt yourself because you’re not making sales, then stop selling because you doubt yourself. It’s a circle that feeds itself and keeps you from showing up and sharing your work passionately. Tune in for insight on how to notice when you’re avoiding selling, and most importantly discover the reasons why in order to stop the spiral! If you're looking for some help to make more sales without the ick, my self-paced course Sell That Thing is now open. And I have a very exciting bonus for this round. Join before 31st Oct and you will be able to join my live 5 day 'Sell That Black Friday Thing' bonus. This means you will be able to plan/create an offer to sell on Black Friday (or small business Saturday if that's more your bag!). This bonus is a great way to get learn how to put offers out quickly and sell them with joy! Plus it means you'll get a whole heap of coaching from me within the group! Check out all of the details here: https://www.raydodd.co.uk/sell-that-thing QUOTES “People conditioned as women are told to stay small, be nice, be polite, be kind at all costs, be gentle, be humble. Do any of those sound like what we're told selling is like? Selling takes up space. Selling says what I offer is good. Selling repeats itself over and over again.” “Can you imagine a man going, “I just think my communication style is too direct”, and trying to make it more flowery, more gentle, and more approachable? Women who are more direct are shamed, but equally the wiggly non-linear people are criticized because their style of communication is meandering.  It is harder for women to show up on repeat because we have less trust in our own communication styles.”

    Done with mindset work? Think again...

    There’s a lot of talk around mindset at the beginning of your business – why wouldn’t there be, it’s easier to recognise! When you’re just starting out, you’re much more likely to come face to face with your money conditioning at every turn, from the way you think about setting your prices all the way to the scarcity that may get in the way of you starting in the first place. After you’ve been doing this for a little while, that mindset talk can get fewer and farther between. You feel familiar with all of the tricks your brain is trying to play, and you may even have a few tricks of your own to combat them! Which leaves you wondering… what’s still standing in the way? It probably comes as no surprise that your mindset work isn’t over just because you’ve been running a business for a long time. In fact, this could be the most challenging stage of working on your money mindset because your conditioning shows up in really subtle ways. Tune in for insight on where money blocks can sneak their way into your subconscious even if you know what to look for, and what you can do about it! If you’d like to join a group of likeminded business owners as we make a plan to embody your next money making level, be sure to grab one of the last few spaces left in my retreat on 16th October! You can find all the information here: https://www.raydodd.co.uk/retreat-days QUOTES “We're always slagging money off to somebody: “There's not enough of it. It's hard to come by. People spend too much of it. There's not enough for us but there's too much for everybody else.” And so your subconscious brain just goes, ‘cool, sounds like we shouldn't have much of that.” “What I notice is that two things happen as people progress in this work: they start to ignore mindset because they ‘did the big stuff’. They swept their desk of the mess, but what they didn't notice was that actually, their desk had woodworm in it. That was making the desk weaker. But they didn't see that because they didn't pay a lot of attention to the nooks and crannies.”

    Letting ourselves Grow with Amanda Ranae

    Get ready for an episode that’s a little meta, where I interview my own coach Amanda Ranae! I love working with Amanda because we have so many things in common when it comes to our coaching philosophy. Most of all, we both believe that you don’t need to be anything different to be successful— your magic lies in growing more and more into who YOU are!   Tune in for a conversation on embracing both your strengths and weakness, resisting the urge to follow advice that doesn’t work for you, and creating the type of business that functions based on your own needs, energy and desires.   You can find out more about Amanda at Biglovewildmagic.com Or in Instagram @amanda_ranae     QUOTES   “What happens when we start to approach ourselves more like a plant. If the plant is struggling we're never like, “what is wrong with you?!” We always look at: what's wrong with your environment? What's wrong with the nutrients that you're getting? That feeling that you're talking about that we love so much about growth is there's nothing wrong with us.”     “Do things that you love, build up what you're great at, and accept all the parts of you. I love saying it's just as important to own who you're not as it is to own who you are, because when we own who we're not, it connects us deeply with the fact that we're not supposed to be everything.”   “It really takes audacity within ourselves to own our appetite— to have an appetite, whether it's food, for money, for love, for sex, as someone who was conditioned as a woman or currently expresses and still identifies as a woman. It takes so much radical reclamation because one of the strongest messages is shrink down.”

    What grief looks like as a business owner

    I want to start with a quick content warning: today we’re talking about grief, specifically the death of a parent.  If this is a vulnerable topic for you, this might be an episode to skip or listen to with care.   I’ve been feeling the pull to record an episode on grieving while running your business for a while now, mainly because this has been so prominent in my own business, and I haven’t found much content that speaks to it.   This isn’t going to be an episode where I teach you how to smash your business goals despite your grief – in my experience, that’s just not how it works. For me, making space to care for myself while grieving is the main thing that has allowed me to balance the work that that I love, which sustains me and my family, with the very personal processes and emotions around losing a loved one.   Listen in for a nuanced conversation on what it’s like to find balance in times of loss, and the unavoidably practical side of trying to slow down in a world that keeps moving.   If you have experience with anything discussed in this episode, I’m sending lots of love your way.   QUOTES   "Sometimes things do fall out of the sky when we weren't expecting it. And that's really scary. But rather than working on all the ways you'll manage it, try to work on looking at the things you can control. One of the main things you can control is believing that you will cope."   "This doesn't have to be the year you smash it. What if this is the year that you coast? What if this is the year where you get by and it's okay? If I'd been honest about that in the moment, I actually think I'd have made more money ironically, because I think I'd have made a plan for a coasting me, not a smashing it me."

    Is Mindset Relevant in 2024?

    If you’re up to date with coaching industry trends, you may have noticed a big uptick in ‘do it my way’ marketing - people selling the one solution that will skyrocket your business to success. If you’re a long time listener, you may have already guessed that I’m NOT a fan of one size fits all solutions.   In this episode, I’m diving into the mentality that leads people to lean on step by step techniques, how these methods are rooted in scarcity, and the mindset alternatives that will provide much more longevity and ease to your money making. Tune in for tips on how to gain a deeper understanding of your business beliefs and where they come from, plus how to use these to be a discerning consumer of advice and coaching.   QUOTES   "My very first discovery of Mindset was mindblowing to me, this concept that I had control over my brain, that I didn't just have to accept these thoughts and beliefs that didn't feel like they fit me. I got to choose my beliefs about myself rather than just feeling like I was a victim to them."   "There's a need for control, a need for steadiness - because we don't have it, we're trying to create it. What we really need for that stability is to find it internally, and mindset work is part of a way that we can do that."   "Group coaching is an amazing thing when it comes to money because one of the biggest things holding us back from feeling good about money is shame.  One of the key ways that we remove shame is by sharing in groups, by understanding that we're not alone."
