 “I spent 15 years building the business... but it was the content that made it visible.” – Gareth ShearsIf you’re still relying on referrals, reputation, and word-of-mouth to grow, this is the episode that’ll make you rethink everything.For almost two decades, Gareth Shears built a successful financial planning firm the traditional way, loyal clients, steady referrals, zero public presence.Then in 2020, he tried what everyone was preaching: be everywhere. Podcasting, posting, YouTube, LinkedIn all at once. It didn’t work. He spread himself too thin, saw little return, and quietly pulled the plug.In 2023, he tried again, but differently. One platform. Two posts a day. No shortcuts. No skipping. Twelve months later, his content speaks for him. The consults are booked. The business runs around his life, not the other way around.This episode is for any service provider sitting on deep expertise, wondering if it’s too late to show up online. Gareth proves it’s not.You don’t need to start over.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re working harder than ever but getting nowhere, this episode is for you. Eric Bugera is breaking down what separates long-term success from short-lived hype. Let’s get into it.Most fitness coaches don’t fail because they aren’t good at what they do. They fail because they focus on the wrong things. Chasing followers instead of building trust.

Most people get stuck in “building” mode—tweaking, refining, and second-guessing—while others launch, scale, and dominate. The difference? A clear, strategic approach that moves fast.In this episode, I’m breaking down the exact steps to take your tech idea from concept to cashflow without wasting months (or years) figuring it out.🛠 Step 1: Validate Your IdeaBefore you build, test it. Find the gaps, talk to real users, and make sure people actually want what you’re selling.🚀 Step 2: Develop a Clear StrategyTech is only as good as the business behind it.

Bonnie has "won the game", an employee turned entrepreneur, exited her last business for 7 figures and, as a serial entrepreneur, came to us to start her second business, Balance Well. Bonnie shares her entrepreneurial journey and the importance of balance and wellness in her life. She started her career in sales and marketing and quickly developed an entrepreneurial mindset. She founded her first business, Zylotech, which provided IT services to businesses. However, after 13 years, she realised that it no longer fulfilled her and decided to move on.After experiencing first-hand the cost of losing balance, a "flirt with cancer", a divorce, and so much more, Bonnie chose to focus on her newfound passion, health and wellness through balance. Bonnie emphasises the need to prioritise oneself and find a balance between work and personal life. She shares her strategies for managing stress and creating a structured routine to achieve balance. Bonnie wanted her clients to feel supported, empowered, and equipped to continue their health journey even after their time with Balance Well.Bonnie encourages employees to think like entrepreneurs in their respective roles and not be afraid to take the leap.
