In this episode I speak with Shirley Dalton, an author and business mentor who is on a mission to help businesses regain control through the power of their people and their systems.



Shirley Dalton is the creator of the Blueprint For Business Freedom and author of The Loyal Lieutenant: How The Second-In-Command Brings The CEO’s Vision To Life.

Her teachings demonstrate how blending people, processes and possibilities can help business owners create their ideal business lifestyle to avoid burnout and their personal and business lives working against them.



Over 30 years, she has helped thousands of business owners and employees around the world:

- release lifelong limiting beliefs,

- put in place solid systems and procedures, and

- develop and improve their leadership skills.



With a unique set of skills including teaching and psychology degrees, she is on a mission to help even more business owners, leaders and managers to get their businesses under control by growing themselves and their teams to create more money, more time and less stress.



We speak about Shirley's three year travel in a motor home across Australia and navigating relationships in very small spaces, how leaders are able to create psychological safety for their teams, plus the blueprint for business freedom (including Shirley's 3 P's - People, Process and Possibility).

Key episode highlights include:

- Not speaking up is actually the kiss of death for the team.

- It's important to have squabbles within a team, as long as the communication with each person is strong and healthy.

- Have conversations about how you have conversations.

- Assertiveness is getting your needs met but not at another's expense.

- When you're stressed, your limiting beliefs can become magnified.
