Your Network Is Your Net Worth - How To Build A Thriving Network

Jeannette addresses the critical importance of networking and how it can significantly impact both personal and professional growth. She shares ten actionable tips for building a thriving network, highlighting the need for a mindset shift, intentionality, and the value of nurturing relationships. KEY TAKEAWAYS Approach networking with intention. Set aside dedicated time in your calendar for networking activities, whether it's attending events or connecting with people on platforms like LinkedIn. Focus on how you can help others in your network rather than what you can gain from them. This principle fosters genuine relationships and encourages reciprocity. Establish specific networking goals and create a plan to achieve them. This could include attending events, reaching out to potential leads, or increasing your social media presence. Regularly assess your networking efforts to identify what works and what doesn’t. Adjust your strategies based on your experiences to enhance your networking effectiveness over time. BEST MOMENTS "Your network is your net worth. It's all about who you know in this world." "Be intentional with your networking. Don't leave this just to chance." "Lead with value. Always think about how you can help the other person first." "Set yourself some goals. What gets measured gets done." "Review, tweak, refine. This will lead to exciting opportunities."   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette talks to Amanda Teale, the CEO and founder of Minerva Private Travel and Lifestyle Management. They delve into Amanda's inspiring journey from her early fascination with travel to establishing a successful luxury travel business. Amanda shares her unique approach to client service, emphasising the importance of personalised experiences and seamless journeys, which set her apart in the competitive travel industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS Minerva Private Travel emphasises a highly personalised service, focusing on the entire journey of the client, from pre-departure communication to seamless transitions at airports. The business model relies on referrals and recommendations rather than traditional advertising, which has proven to be a successful long-term strategy for building a loyal client base. Challenges such as the aftermath of 9/11 and the COVID-19 pandemic highlight the volatility of the travel industry. Adapting to these challenges, including diversifying services and maintaining a positive mindset, is crucial for survival and growth. Building a strong team and delegating tasks is essential for efficiency. Investing in the right people allows for a focus on core business activities, leading to better overall performance. BEST MOMENTS "What I do differently is I actually put quite a lot of emphasis on the journey. Our drivers message them 48 hours before they leave home; that's where their journey starts for us." "The travel industry is the most volatile industry in the world... It only takes one person to say something, and they're like, 'Oh, I'm going now, cancel.'" "The term luxury is an interesting one. I think it's overused, in my opinion." "You have to be humble in hard times... If things got bad again, I'd have to do the same. And I would be prepared to do that."   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette addresses the challenges and strategies for navigating your first leadership role with confidence and effectiveness. Acknowledging that many new leaders often feel unprepared, she shares valuable insights drawn from 30 years of experience in business. The discussion covers essential topics such as the importance of listening before jumping into action, conducting a thorough 100-day review, building key relationships, and understanding what success looks like through clear KPIs KEY TAKEAWAYS As a leader, balance strategic oversight with operational involvement. Hover above to maintain a big-picture view while also landing to support your team and address immediate issues. In your first leadership role, take the time to listen and understand the dynamics of your team and organisation before jumping into action. This will help you avoid missing critical insights. Use the first three months to assess every aspect of your role. Document your observations on what’s working well and what needs improvement, which can serve as a valuable report for yourself and your superiors. Focus on nurturing key relationships with your boss, peers, and direct reports. Spend quality time with these individuals to build trust and gain valuable insights that can aid your leadership journey. BEST MOMENTS "When you take on a leadership role, the reality is often that you're never ready. That's perfectly normal." "You need to make sure that you're able to hover above on the horizon, looking out, having a big vision, a strategy, longer term thinking." "Take time. Do a lot of listening. Don't jump to conclusions too fast because you might find that you miss things." "Get yourself a mentor. Honestly, it will totally change how you navigate through this first leadership role." "It is a privilege to lead a team. It's a privilege to lead a business. And you are custodian of that role."   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette comes to you from the Be Happy Healthy Wealthy Podcast, hosted by the amazing Dr Irene Ching, and discusses her inspiring journey from growing up in Manchester to leading major travel companies and eventually transitioning into her own businesses, including property investing and advisory work. Jeannette also talks about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, her daily routines, and the significance of having mentors and coaches throughout her career, emphasising the need for self-belief, clarity in goals, and taking action, while also addressing the challenges of navigating life changes and uncertainties KEY TAKEAWAYS Transitioning from a corporate career to entrepreneurship can be daunting, but it's essential to believe in oneself and take calculated risks. Understanding the worst-case scenario can help alleviate fears and encourage bold decisions. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial for success. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and sufficient sleep are non-negotiable aspects of a productive routine.  Having mentors and coaches at different stages of your career can provide invaluable support and insight. They can help navigate challenges and encourage personal and professional growth. Establishing a routine that incorporates healthy habits is key to long-term success. It's important to make sustainable choices rather than relying on quick fixes or crash diets. BEST MOMENTS "Believe in yourself, because if you don't believe in you, then how will anyone else?" "I think consistency is key. Good habits are key. If you're used to doing that, you more naturally come back to it." "I always ask myself, well, what's the worst that can happen? And then when you've got that in your head, you kind of go, well, even that I can deal with."   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette talks about the topic of leadership burnout, drawing from personal experiences as a corporate CEO and entrepreneur. She highlights the prevalence of burnout among ambitious individuals and the detrimental effects it can have on both individuals and organisations KEY TAKEAWAYS It is crucial to be aware of the signs of burnout, such as feelings of exhaustion, disengagement, and reduced efficiency. Taking time for yourself to regroup, whether for an extended period or short breaks, can help release stress and prevent burnout. Reflect on your leadership style and effectiveness, ensuring you are focusing on the right things and not overloading yourself. Ensure you have the right people in the right positions, empower your team, delegate effectively, and provide support for success. Surround yourself with supportive individuals with whom you can discuss your feelings and challenges, seeking guidance and encouragement to navigate potential burnout. BEST MOMENTS "35% of employees were actually having difficulties maintaining a healthy work-life balance and were suffering with extreme stress, pressure, not feeling great." "The most successful leaders are those that can role model resilience and vulnerability together, because those two elements will help with this aspect of burnout." "Life is too short to be anything but happy. So if you're worried about any of this in terms of your mental health, your well-being, then, as I say, more than happy to have a conversation." "It's not always easy, but there's always a way to solve these things together."   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette talks to Mandi Ellefson, founder of Hands-Off CEO, discussing her journey from being in debt to becoming a multimillionaire.

Mandi also delves into the concept of being a hands-off CEO, emphasising the importance of delegating tasks, building a strong team, and preparing for a successful exit strategy KEY TAKEAWAYS Delivering results and focusing on the biggest outcomes can set you apart in the market and attract ideal clients. Build a Strong Team: Surround yourself with the right talent and advisors who can challenge you and help you grow.

After fully exiting a business, seek a bigger vision and purpose to drive value and fulfilment in your life beyond financial success. BEST MOMENTS "I like to think of it as almost 4Ds.

Jeannette talks about the importance of understanding and leveraging one's sphere of influence to effectively engage with key stakeholders. She introduces a simple model consisting of four quadrants to categorise different stakeholder groups based on their level of interest and influence KEY TAKEAWAYS Categorise stakeholders into four quadrants based on their level of influence and interest. Evaluate the percentage of time spent with each quadrant and adjust to ensure effective engagement. Build relationships by explaining vision, roles, and benefits to different stakeholder groups. Take specific actions to engage with key stakeholders and leverage relationships effectively. Regularly revisit and adjust your sphere of influence to align with changing roles and goals. BEST MOMENTS "People do business with those that they know, like, and trust. But sometimes we will be quite casual about those relationships." "You need to be gaining the buy-in and the sign-off. And you want to reward this group first with news." "You are great at what you do. But are you creating powerful, engaging relationships in the way that you really should be?" "Time is precious. Relationships are precious. It's the human capital, the human-to-human contact where things get done, decisions get made."   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANT.
