Jeannette talks about the "invisible edge" that smart entrepreneurs leverage to achieve exceptional results. She discusses how focusing on subtle, often overlooked strategies can provide a competitive advantage without the need for longer hours or risky moves.  She focusses upon the importance of prioritising systems over hustle, building meaningful relationships, making data-driven decisions, and embracing innovation Jeannette explains why: Achieving outsized results often comes from making subtle, intentional changes rather than following obvious trends or strategies.  Smart entrepreneurs prioritise systems, relationships, data, and innovation to gain a competitive advantage. You should identify the 20% of actions that generate 80% of results, and prioritise these high-impact activities to enhance productivity and profitability. Investing time in nurturing relationships with clients, collaborators, and mentors is crucial.  Leveraging technology, including AI and automation, can free up time from repetitive tasks, allowing entrepreneurs to focus on strategic growth and innovation.

As consumers become increasingly skeptical and competition intensifies, Jeannette emphasises that trust—not price—drives customer loyalty, attracts top talent, and secures investor confidence.  She outlines practical steps for building unshakable trust within teams, customers, and partners, highlighting the importance of transparency, consistency, and authenticity Jeannette explains why: In today's business landscape, trust has become the ultimate currency, more valuable than price or marketing strategies. It is essential for customer loyalty, attracting talent, and gaining investor confidence. Trust can take years to build but can be lost in seconds. Companies must be transparent and consistent in their actions to maintain trust, as a single negative experience can undo significant marketing efforts. Key actions to foster trust include being transparent about wins and setbacks, delivering consistent experiences, showing authenticity, prioritising values over profits, and communicating effectively. Trust is not only important externally with customers and investors but also internally within teams Subscribe to Brave Bold Brilliant for weekly wisdom on leadership, legacy, and living boldly.

Jeannette looks at the intriguing concept of the "profit paradox," which suggests that doing less can actually lead to greater financial success. She addresses the common misconception among entrepreneurs that busyness equates to success, highlighting how this mindset can lead to burnout and diluted focus Jeannette explains why: Delegating tasks and using technology to automate repetitive work can free up time for strategic thinking and high-value actions, ultimately leading to increased profitability. You need to identify the 20% of tasks that produce 80% of results and concentrate efforts there Protecting your time by saying no to non-essential tasks and scheduling breaks is crucial for maintaining focus and preventing burnout. You need to consistently evaluate your weekly activities to determine which ones are moving the needle and adjust your focus accordingly to ensure sustainable growth.

Jeannette Linfoot speaks with Fergal O'Connor, the highly competitive founder and CEO of Buymedia, one of the fastest-growing companies in Ireland. In this episode, Fergal shares how Buymedia is continuing its rapid growth, recently launching into the UK market as part of its mission to transform the global advertising landscape. Fergal explains how he is democratising the advertising world for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by leveraging AI to ensure every pound of ad spend delivers real business results. He opens up about his story, his deep competitive drive, and his unexpectedly shy nature. Fergal explains why: Revenues and customers will solve most of the business problems. You can go fast by yourself, but you can't go far unless you have a high-energy team around you. Why asking “Please tell me where my baby is ugly" to find what is wrong with your product or process early will help you solve it. You shouldn’t be afraid to share your ideas with mentors, as people are generally too busy with their own work to steal them .
