Business Mentor Podcast

Does an entrepreneur really need an office? Or would it be okay to work remotely from home?  The choice depends on your productivity and current circumstances. If budget seems tight, then it’s best to work remotely at the beginning but then, it will require a certain discipline not to get distracted and not to slack off. That’s why Jay still suggests getting an office as soon as everything becomes stable.  Let Jay help you today in this episode of The Business Mentor Podcast on deciding where your workplace should be and more. Start tuning in.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  Understand the present circumstances. Your working condition and working environment might be suitable only for the office setting. If you’ve got a tight budget or doesn’t see expanding soon, then consider working remotely to save up and increase the cash flow.  Some entrepreneurs have a difficult time being pro

In this episode of the Business Mentor podcast Jay discusses his thought on Brexit and how it’s going to affect business. He also gives some tips and advice on how to prepare for big changes that will affect business such as Brexit. KEY TAKEAWAYS 3 years ago I didn’t believe that people would vote Brexit. Think long term about your business decisions and think about your businesses strategy before you make any decisions. The property market will pick back up again so think long term and you never know what’s going to happen so look at your own strategy and where you are then make decisions based on what your circumstances are. Look at the opportunity that Brexit is going to bring rather than the negatives. Look at what other investors are doing especially people like Warren Buffet. Watch what your mentors are and aren’t doing and replicate them. There are so many amazing platforms now that are free where you can get information out there easily. Don’t wait for things to happen

Jay discusses the business model that he believes is generally the best at the moment and why. One of the main reason for having a reoccurring business model is because it makes your business more attractive to investors or people who may want to buy your business. You could introduce this model to your current model too without having to start over. Listen to this episode to find out more!  KEY TAKEAWAYS  The most lucrative models on the market are reoccurring. E.g. Netflix. This is much like a subscription based model where their revenue is monthly. These often charge less money however are generating monthly revenue.  Having a reoccurring business model made the business a lot more attractive to buyers than having a model where our revenue came from constant of off deals.  The other models do work and can work really well but over all in general the best model, I would say, is the reoccurring.  Check out the 30-day business chall

This time Jay is coming to you from a very special live event that took place at the Entrepreneur’s Secret To Success Event. If you weren’t there on the day, then now’s your chance to hear Jay’s incredible keynote speech, in which he discussed his story so far, the importance of values, mentors, and the surprising places in which you find life lessons.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Everything that we do defines us. You can either let your challenges beat you, or learn from them.   Installing values into your children is important these days, especially as most children have everything.   Jay came out of university with few practical skills from his business degree, but did learn the far more important lesson of how to survive on a small amount of money each day.   Opening up to a mentor, and receiving their advice, is the best thing you can do. Not only can they help you achieve bigger things, but can pick you up at your lowest moments.   Sometimes it takes a tough

Time and time again there are people who don’t make the effort to begin with and don’t do their due diligence before jumping into the deep end when starting a business. They usually end up wasting a lot of time and money, here are tips on how to avoid this issue… KEY TAKEAWAYS If you think of this amazing idea, ensure what you’re thinking is really what the customer will like or want a lot too. Have an idea where you know there are clients and customers that will definitely buy your products or services. You can do this by ensuring you’ve done all your market research. Work within the industry first or work alongside someone who has loads of experience in that market before you take the jump with your own idea. If you’re looking to open up a hairdressing salon and don’t have any experience, then you should rent per chair so you don’t have to hire any people yourself. Run some ads in the area on social media to see how high the demand is first. Don&rsquo

Jay’s finding that lots of people are asking him similar questions, on of which is how to use social media. In this episode of The Business Mentor podcast Jay answers this popular question and expresses the importance of focusing on yourself and your journey rather than those of other peoples.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  Social media is a great platform but don’t believe everything you see. People on there want engagement and attention.  I look to inspire other people on social media.  Don’t look at social media as an indication of your performance because people often fake how their life really is on there. They don’t tell you about their problems and issues they may be having.  Don’t look at social media and think because you don’t have the same success as someone on there, you’re failing.  Look at where you are now and think about what you can change right now for yourself to get to where you want to be. Break down the steps and make

Make sure you get your content out there for others so they can understand where you’ve been, what you have done in life and what you’re all about. Begin by making sure ever
