Instagram Shake up; You NEED to Know Whats Coming! Dec 23, 2019

Show notes

In this special edition, Jay is coming to you from a Live, to talk about some changes being made by Instagram that may affect you. Likes and Views have been removed, apparently to stop content being created simply for marketing purposes.

Influencer Marketing is a £15 billion pound industry, so how are these changes affecting those who make a living there? Jay discusses this intriguing subject today.

ABOUT THE HOST

Jay Dhillon is a serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist based in the UK with a proven track record of growing businesses from start-up to success- and helping others do the same. From humble beginnings, Jay grew his first business from 0 to 500 employees and three locations, racking up sales of over £30 million – all without any investment other than a small amount of savings. The business went on to acquire major clients such as Landrover, Jaguar, Toyota and New Look, to name a few.

Its huge success inevitably brought about outside interest, and at the age of 33, Jay eventually sold the company to a London investment firm in Doyen Resources. Today, Jay owns several businesses in different sectors and helps entrepreneurs achieve success.

A calling to give back and help others led to Jay being chosen for the highly coveted role as a Prince’s Trust mentor, where his achievements were marked by a personal invitation to Buckingham Palace to meet Prince Charles.

After helping several young entrepreneurs to success as a mentor for the Trust, Jay’s burning desire to bring his wisdom and knowledge to a wider audience ultimately triggered the concept of The Business Mentor Podcast.

Jay feels that anyone can achieve success in business with the right advice and mentoring and is now sharing his knowledge with his growing audience via his podcast.

In the UK alone, 95% of business fail within the first five years, and Jay’s aim is to reduce that number.

Backed with the hard-earned knowledge and experience from his time in business, The Business Mentor Podcast will share Jay’s personal business lessons as well those of other successful entrepreneur guests who share their wisdom and secrets on the show.

Being The Bull of Your Business or Industry! Dec 20, 2019

Show notes

Be the bull of any business you go into by dominating. A way you can do this is by consistently putting information out there about your business and working on your systems day in, day out.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It’s common that people struggle to dominate within their business by working on too many things.
Make sure your message is clear about the business you’re currently working on and what you want to be the ‘bull’ in.
Focus on one area that you want to dominate and be the best in and put content out surrounding that one area consistently.

Get to a level where your business can then become managed. Often entrepreneurs who don’t do this right don’t focus on one business, they go from one idea to another, then another and then another…

BEST MOMENTS

‘Work at your business all of the time.’

‘Be the bull of what you’re doing’

‘You’ve got to be the expert of something’

Finding the 5% in your business Dec 13, 2019

Show notes

A lot of the time people don’t think about the little things, that take little investment and effort, that can make a big difference within business. Jay explains how you can find your 5%’s and why they make such a difference especially within a service based business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

What ever you’re doing look at the 5%, the finer details. The little things that aren’t a huge amount of effort to do but make a huge difference.
What small 5% thing that helped me secure my first contract was writing a personal card to the client before securing the deal.
Get to know your clients and what they like so for Christmas or their birthdays you can get them a personalised gift that makes them feel valued.

Look for, in your business, what 5% you can do that your competitors probably don’t do and people don’t consciously think about all of the time.
Write down your 5%’s and start implementing them and you will notice a difference. Do them consistently over time too.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Do that extra bit’

‘Get to know your clients’

‘Observe what other service lead businesses do’

Better Your Sales With This One Tip Nov 29, 2019

Show notes

Jay explains the importance of being and coming across as confident when you are negotiating. He also discusses different strategies that you can use to help build your confidence up when you need to negotiate.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It’s good to get a mentor earlier on to help you with your business.
You’ve got to be confident when you negotiate because if you don’t then you’ve already lost the battle. Even if someone gets that feeling that you’re not confident then you are likely not to win the deal.
The key thing to being confident is preparation. Spend the night before looking at your figures, presentation and skills.
Go through your presentation and make sure you’ve done the research and have your figures correct.
In the car on the way there roll play the scenario and keep practising it. You can book out some time with who ever is doing the pitch and be the worst type of client so that they’re completely ready.
When you get into the actual pitch, walk in confidently and look confident.
Research and put time into knowing your client because it’s likely they’ll value you for doing that. The more research you do, the better you’ll get at it.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Negotiate with confidence or don’t negotiate at all.’

‘If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail’.

‘The client will always know whether you’ve done your research’.

How to make your vision work? Nov 22, 2019

Show notes

People ask the question whether vision boards work. Jay often finds that they haven’t worked when he previously has used them. So in this episode Jay explains alternate options instead of using vision boards.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It’s all well and good creating a vision board but you need to break it down bit by bit, day by day so that you know how you’re going to reach each of your individual goals that you’re working towards.
If you haven’t already got a mentor to do a mastermind with then get one and have them help you to break down your visions.
Focus on one area at a time so you have clarity and know how you’re going to move forward and can actually see your plan being executed.
Ask yourself what you’re going to do today to get yourself to your vision.
Go to your vision and look at where the steps are for you to take in order to get you there.
Action gets you closer to your goal so map out the exact actions you need so you stay motivated to reach your goal.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It’s great to have a high level vision but you need to break it down’.

‘Work out your focuses.

‘The devil is in the detail’.’

‘Map out everything’.

Match Your Skillset to Your Business Nov 15, 2019

Show notes

Jay has recently been asked by one of his mentees, how can they get more sales because they’re really struggling even though they feel as if they’re doing everything they can. The answer to this could be that your skillset doesn’t match what your business requires. In this episode Jay discusses how you can over come this.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

If you can’t quite but your finger on what’s not working within your business, for example getting more sales, ensure you’re constantly researching about your market.
Alternatively, you can write down all of your skills that you’re good at and package them up to sell. You can use past examples of how you’ve used them (Testimonials) and you’ll find it’s a lot easier to sell your services.
A lot of entrepreneurs go down the route where they don’t have the expertise in what they’re selling.
If you want to get into a different field of business, then make sure you do the research. One of the best ways to research is to experience being in that field and gaining skills required to be successful there.
You can then repurpose the skills you’ve learnt from all of your experiences to create a product. It’s so much easier to sell a product that you know all about.
A client can sense when you don’t know what you’re talking about so ensure you know what you’re doing.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Does your skillset match your business?’

‘Know more than everyone in the room’.

‘Knowledge comes with experience’

‘Learn the product you’re selling’

Doing Business on Your Own vs With a Partner Nov 08, 2019

Show notes

Often people ask Jay whether it’s a good idea to go into a partnership for business or whether they should do it alone. Jay explains the pros and cons of going into a business partnership and gives top tips on how to prevent your partnership from failing.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Business can be really difficult if you pick the wrong partner. It’s a bit like a marriage. If you go into partnership you have to work on the friendship with them.
If you’re already friends and go into a business partnership, the friendship is likely to dilute because of the different challenges you will come across with them. So if you really value your friendship with someone a lot, think really hard before going into a business partnership with them.
Have a clear vision and strategy for your business before entering any partnerships. Have someone externally such as a mentor go over your plan.
Have clearly defines roles because this is one of the most common reasons for a partnership ending. A lot of the time you will be overlapping which will make things messy.
Make clear roles for you and your partner based on what your strengths are and what their strengths are. For anything that’s not yours or your partners’ strengths bring someone in externally.
If you’re looking to go into partnership because you don’t want to do it on your own, then it’s not a good idea to go into partnership.

BEST MOMENTS

‘A movie isn’t real life’.

‘Are the pros a lot more favourable than the cons? Then make a decision’.

‘Play to your strengths’.

‘Make sure you have defined roles.’

Does Money Really Make You Happy? Nov 01, 2019

Show notes

A lot of people that Jay network who are really rich with don’t seem to be that fulfilled. Many people including Jay ask themselves why they’re not fulfilled when they have so much money. In this episode of the Business Mentor Podcast Jay explains and discusses his view on why this is.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Some people who are given wealth are never happy because they don’t and never have lived up to their parent’s success thus makes them feel guilty for sharing so much of their success.
There are a lot of studies that the third generation are usually the ones who loose their family’s wealth.
We’re all here for a limited time so live your life to tell your story and experience things that other people haven’t.
Always be looking to grow, look for opportunities and over come new challenges because it’s a way of creating your own stories. A lot of people love seeing people struggle then come back successful.
If you’re going through a tough time, don’t forget that people who have a lot of wealth, do have other challenges.
The short answer is ‘Yes’ a lot of people that are wealthy struggle to be happy because they struggle with fulfilment and growth.

BEST MOMENTS

‘you can have so much wealth but not value it because you didn’t create it.’

‘Maybe they want the challenge but they just don’t know how to handle it.’

‘A legacy will be left based on what we’ve achieved not what we’ve maintained.’

How to Future Proof Your Business NOW! Oct 24, 2019

Show notes

‘I’m always looking around the corner to see how I can future-proof myself’

Jay looks at the importance of future-proofing for any business in a world where business change is rapid. Brand and company growth can be phenomenal across social media platforms because of the huge reach but adapting and looking forward is vital for any business that wants to thrive.

Jay explains how to effectively use the 80/20 rule and why you should always be innovating to stay ahead, the smart people adapt and are flexible, are you?

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

At the moment the rate of change in business  is phenomenal and the reach of social media platforms plays a huge role.
Use social media platforms to build your brand effectively understanding that social media companies give you reach early on but then take it away, ultimately they all want to sell you something.

As entrepreneurs it’s important to look forward and forecast the future, look at the market trends and listen to your mentors they are powerful because they have the experience and expertise to see what you can’t see.

Are you using the 80 / 20  rule?

80% of my time is spent on my core business and 20% on new technologies or researching something that is changing in the market.
You need to make sure your core business is profitable and cash flowing so that you can spend 20% of your time working on new ideas.
When you quit taking risks, that’s when your business will suffer.

When you stop doing the 20% on new things when you are not reaching for new knowledge when you stop investing in yourself and getting the education you need and you don’t want to invest in meeting with people who’ve been successful that’s when you have become complacent.

What have you done to futureproof your business and innovate?

The way to future proof your business is to always look towards what is around the corner
What can I spend that 20% on, should the market in my industry change because ultimately it will.
Everything is always changing and even if your business doesn’t need to change at the moment its vital to future proof it through studying what might come next.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Use social media platforms to build your brand knowing it will go away’

‘Today If you have built  your business on Instagram and the reach goes tomorrow your business is dead’

‘Don’t leave a business that’s started to make money to start another business’
