In this episode Fredrik chats with David Riemer, tech and ad executive, and marketer. He is the author of ‘Get Your Startup Story Straight ; The Definitive Storytelling Framework For Innovators And Entrepreneurs.’ He guides people to create the narrative of their startup, sharing their beginning motivations, their aims and values to create understanding between themselves and their target audience.    KEY TAKEAWAYS  David has always been a narrative storyteller, has experience in journalism, and so has turned this skill towards startup business. Thinking in terms of a narrative, shifts the focus and viewpoint on the project. Stories have a structure. Overlay a classic story structure onto your innovation story and understand the motivations of your customer, the protagonist, and how your product or service is going to solve their problem.  One of the best ways to be successful as a business is to make a meaningful connection with your customer and understand them on a human level.  When you are telling a story, part of the narrative is conveyed by your facial expressions. Bear this in mind in zoom meetings and FaceTime. Show your expressions.  Include a human factor in your story that anybody can connect with no matter what your product is.   BEST MOMENTS   ‘I have seen this incredible thing happen when I talk to a founder about their project, and we talk about it in the context of a story. Who is the protagonist in your story? And they’ll say, “I am, I built this thing”. No, the protagonist in a product story is not you, it’s the customer.’ ‘You have to know who the protagonist is, you have to know what their motivations are and you have to have some insights into what’s motivating them. You have to understand the conflict in the story. You have to understand how their life will be better if they use your product.’ ‘People don’t care about what you say but they do care about the way you make than feel.’ ‘Why is he getting excited about this point? He’s waving his hands around. We all have to do that in a way that’s natural to us, but our bodies are part of the instrument we use as a storyteller, and our faces.’   ABOUT THE GUEST   David is a long-time tech executive and marketer. He led the ad agency J. Walter Thompson in San Francisco, held senior marketing roles at two start-ups and was VP Marketing at Yahoo! (during their heyday). David now runs Box Out Industries where he works with entrepreneurs, product managers and marketers to develop and convey their product stories. He also started Spiral Staircase Productions to collaborate with artists and is currently developing two original musicals. David teaches at Berkeley-Haas Business School and works with several accelerators throughout the Bay Area.

Buying Companies with Moran Prober

Donnie Boivin

An impromptu and spontaneous transatlantic interview between Fredrik and his guest, Donnie Boivin. Author, businessman, coach, motivational speaker and podcaster, Donnie helps others to achieve a change in mindset and propel them forward to achieving their aims. He speaks candidly about the experiences and influences that have shaped his life and how he achieves a healthy momentum in his work.    KEY TAKEAWAYS  Fredrik and Donnie both joined the Marines in their respective countries after finishing college.  After a long career in sales Donnie launched his business Success Champions and hit a steep learning curve and now passes what he learned from his mistakes to others to facilitate them to achieve a easier lifestyle with their businesses. A common mistake made by both Donnie and Fredrik is to accept too many tasks and become bogged down by process. The trick is to work on the business not in the business. Building a business involves a lot of bad days to get through and its best to keep these in perspective as, eventually, they will just be cautionary tales you can tell later.  With modern online instruction provided by information platforms like Google and YouTube you can keep yourself up to date without spending huge amounts of cash on training. Sanctuary is important. Donnie has a farm that is isolated from his business interests to which he can escape.   BEST MOMENTS   ‘I’m not a guy that does well with authority and people telling me what to do. When you’re going through boot camp or whatever and you realise that these people are going to keep yelling at you for a long period of time you really question your choices in life.’ ‘If you had cash, money of any sort then yes! I whatever that was that you needed done so we found ourselves doing websites, graphic design and *@$t that we had no business doing.’ ‘If you don’t educate them on how you will actually sell to them and how they can get involved to make this happen then the closing might be very odd later.’ ‘Being a salesperson is the only profession in the world where you will literally get rejected every day.’ ‘At the end of the day, do what’s right by you and I think that goes for your business as well.’   ABOUT THE GUEST   Donnie Boivin is a motivational speaker, author, podcaster, businessman and a coach that helps to change the game in mindset and success. His book “How to be a success champion: Business Strategy for Badasses” is a story of his own life that has inspired thousands to get out of their own way and go for it. Donnie Boivin has launched his career, from being a corporal in the US marine corps and spent over 2 decades mastering sales and marketing to becoming a Founder and CEO of the Success Champions family of companies. Success Champion Consulting, Growth Mode Podcast, Success Champion Magazine, the Badass Business Summit, Success Champion Networking and an award-winning professional.

Invest in You : Interview with Donnie Boivin

Fredrik interviews Niraj Kapur, online business coach and expert on using LinkedIn. Previously a sales trainer, Niraj found himself without a job at the beginning of the COVID crisis and switched to online training. He now specialises in using LinkedIn to achieve and facilitate his clients business goals via his training and coaching company Everybody Works In Sales. KEY TAKEAWAYS  The importance of formality in virtual selling and online meetings is paramount. Put as much effort into your prep and appearance as you would to a face to face meeting. The similarities between online dating and online selling are numerous. Check out your client/dates profile to see what you have in common. Do not ask for a client meeting/date too quickly as it can unnerve potential customers/partners. Do not talk about yourself non stop. LinkedIn posts can be about any of your current business challenges you face; slow paying customers, staff retention etc. The most popular posts can be the ones that discuss how your personal life interfaces with your business life. Make the effort to meet your LinkedIn support network as it can be invaluable. Stop relying on email automation. Face to face contact and online meeting platforms such as zoom is still the best way of doing things.  BEST MOMENTS ‘On a business level people would say that they know me as a coach who leads from the heart and gets results for clients.’ ‘I have grown m LinkedIn profile from 5000 people to 18,000 people. The really big growth has been from me talking about my vulnerability and the difficulty of being single in your late forties.’ ‘Personal posts work. They just do. On Father’s Day this year all my friends who posted pictures of their kids saying “this is my why” did so well.’ ‘Get on a plane, get on a bus, get on a train and go see people face to face. It’s one of the best things you can do to strengthen relationships and business is relationships.’ ‘If you have your phone there anyway and your too shy to do anything if you have the LinkedIn app you can actually send a voice mail and if you do this you actually stand out.’ GUEST RESOURCES   Niraj Kapur Sales Coaching and training ; https://everybodyworksinsales.com/ LinkedIn profile ; nkapur ABOUT THE HOSTS Serial entrepreneurs Fredrik, Charlie and Ivan Sandvall love sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influences.

Everybody Works In Sales - Interview with Niraj Kapur

Brendan Kane

In his episode of Invest in You, Fredrik talks to business and brand advisor Brendan Kane, author of ‘Hook Point : How To Stand Out In A 3 Second World’ and CEO and founder of Hook Point agency.  Brendan talks about how he started in his specialty of digital branding and publicity for the entertainment industry after initially attending film school and moving onwards to movie advertising. He details how he has helped many corporations and individuals find their “Hook Point.”   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Initially planning to be a film producer Brendan found that film school offered no guidance or insight into the business side of film making so he decided to educate himself.  Brendan found his ‘Hook Point’ was his ability to assist film makers with post production online publicity of a movie. In 2007 he pioneered he idea of using YouTube influencers to publicise movies. Brendans company Hook Point helps people communicate at scale to customers and attempts to move marketing principles on with a digital forum to get their message out there with a more modern strategy. Platform algorithms have one job and that is to retain viewers so the longer they spend viewing the video the more likely that video will be seen by more viewers. Brendan spends a lot of his time meeting people and learning what they do to enhance his skills and recommends actual face to face communication as a learning tool.  BEST MOMENTS   ‘As I said “I wanted to be a film producer” I could see everybody’s eyes glaze over, you’re Just one of a million. So I had to reassess and find what is my way to stand out, what is my “Hook Point.”’ ‘At my core I’m an entrepreneur. I want to build things and I found I was asking for permission to do things more than actually getting to execute.’ ‘As marketer’s or just people who want to disseminate a message at scale we are competing against hundreds of millions of messages and we need to have more nuance, more sophistication, more psychology in the way that we are constructing our content.’ ‘Most business owners have spent years mastering their craft. However, the more you become an expert in something the less you can distill it down into its simplest form.’   ABOUT THE GUEST Brendan Kane is an outside of the box thinker, speaker and author who empowers brands to scale by helping them stand out and beat competition in crowded and oversaturated markets. He is the author of the international best-selling book ​One Million Followers​ and the newly released ​Hook Point: How To Stand Out In A 3 Second World​, as well as the founder and CEO of the Hook Point agency. Brendan has worked with hundreds of individuals and brands providing business and digital strategy for more than 15 years, including MTV, Taylor Swift, Rhianna and many others.

Interview with Brendan Kane

In this podcast Fredrick interviews Arnaud Henneville-Wedholm, entrepreneur and author of “How Hard Can it Be?”, a book discussing the pitfalls and methods for starting up and maintaining business.  He details his work advising companies on ‘Change Management’, the ability to change a workforce or person to facilitate new methods within an organisation.    KEY TAKEAWAYS  ‘Change Management’ is the method of changing peoples perception, skills and training to facilitate new strategies and goals within an organisation. Arnaud started out his career in sales but felt more at home in Change Management and so pursued his business advisory role. He started writing the book when he realised how many questions occurred during his own startup journey that were difficult to find answers to. The book is a narrative that is entertaining written to inform you even though you don’t realise it. Arnaud gives tips on targeting your customers effectively rather than struggling to achieve maximum coverage to gain traction.  BEST MOMENTS   ‘There is this idea that sales is a “nasty” thing, that salespeople as profession is not something we do but in fact we sell ourselves constantly. Everyday I’m selling to my kids to eat broccoli.’ ‘I think it was easier to write the book than do the journey that led to it.’ ‘No one could tell us the answers because our journey was unique. I needed to write that book that I wish I had read myself.’ ‘You do not need those million guys, you just need to ave those thousand guys that will buy from you because they believe what you sell.’   ABOUT THE GUEST   Arnaud Henneville-Wedholm is an entrepreneur, author and optimist. Today, he leads sales and business development at GLOBHE, a platform for drone data on demand. He is also a mentor at the Nordic Startup School, a leading startup accelerator in the Nordics. He is the founder of multiple startups, including internalDesk, a SaaS platform for enterprise collaboration. internalDesk was recognized as one of the ‘top10 tech rising stars’ in the Nordics in 2014 and was acquired by Woodreed in 2019. Arnaud’s interest areas include entrepreneurship, business models and everything related to mindset. Arnaud earned an MBA from the University of Leicester. He lives in Stockholm, Sweden with his wife and three children.   https://www.linkedin.com/in/henneville-wedholmarnaud/ booksite is:  www.howhardcanitbethebook.com   ABOUT THE HOSTS   Serial entrepreneurs Fredrik, Charlie and Ivan Sandvall love sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influences.

Arnaud Henneville-Wedholm! entrepreneur & author of “How Hard Can it Be?”

Global keynote speaker and passionate advocate for women in business; Hang Black joins Fredrik to discuss all things business, marketing and consumers. Discover how important it is to be equipped to sell value, the difference in millennial marketing and why investing in yourself means understanding the steps you need to take to reach your own definition of happiness.   KEY TAKEAWAYS     Not everyone who is selling, is selling things that are profitable. It is so important to have enablement because you do not want sellers to go in front of customers and have to drop their price. This could mean that now you are below cost in margin. You need to be equipped on how to sell value.     67% of marketing material is never even opened by a seller. This has been true for the last 30 years. With enablement you need to work out how to curate the right content and let your SME’s know which content sticks and which does not. You need to also find the processes that will keep the selling motion consistent and relevant. Make sure to modernise how to talk to your customers and reach them where they are.     44% of millennials do not want to meet their seller even one time. They want to have a contactless experience, this does not necessarily mean that they do not interact with them, it just means that they don’t contact them. One of the things you can do is to make sure when you interact with your customers you interact with them socially first. Engage with them in what they're interested in. 47% of the business decision is already made before the first phone call has been taken.     Sales is the front line to the customer, they are the closest conversation. You don’t know what is right for the customer without talking to them and collaborating with them.     Do not be afraid to try different things in your career and move around a little bit early on. You should never be afraid to take judicious risk. Careers are not necessarily linear but what you really have to learn is what your strengths are and what your values are. Learn how those two things align so that you can monetise them. Following your passions is a great saying but you have got to eat too!     Investing in yourself means giving grace to yourself. Take care of yourself before and understand what your leavers of happiness are, not other peoples definition of happiness for you, whether that be societal, cultural or familial. Understand what happiness looks like for you and invest in how to get to your definition of happiness and success.    BEST MOMENTS  “What do we need to do to make it easier for the customer to buy?” “How do we meet them how they want to be met?” “It is important to have a goal of monetising your dreams.” ABOUT THE GUEST   Hang Black is a global keynote speaker on sales, leadership, and a passionate advocate for women in the workplace.

Monetise Your Dreams - Interview with Keynote Speaker Hang Black

Fredrik and Charlie are joined today by motivational speaker and successful businesswoman Yasmina Fadli. Yasmina shares her personal story and describes how she went from strength to strength throughout the years. Together they discuss how to identify your core identity, how doing things differently will set you apart and how investing in yourself will allow you texpand you and your business.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   No teenager should be left behind. They should understand that no matter what their circumstances are, they can build a life that may not seem achievable to them today. There are many possibilities and opportunities out there. Who they are to the core, is what the world is waiting for.     When you are a teenager in a vulnerable situation such as coming from a poor home where there are not a lot of opportunities around you, you need to try to connect with your core identity. Your core identity is not what society thinks of you. We all have a big potential in life and the world is waiting for that potential.     Do things differently which will set you apart. That is how you can identify who you need to become to ensure that your customers are served, you bring them value that they deserve and you can create long term relationships with your clients.     Many people consider sales to be ‘sleazy’, however if you serve from your heart and what to get your customer to achieve the results they are looking for then that is when you can become successful in sales.     Your business or your life will only expand in the ration that you are willing to invest in yourself. If you are not investing in yourself or growing your business and your life will all continue to stay the same. The more you invest in yourself the more your business and life will expand. At the end of your life, if you are learning, growing and staying focused on your vision then you are going to see that the end result will be higher than where you started.    BEST MOMENTS “I am more than the label they put on me.” “Those are two main drivers in what I am working for.” “I did things differently that set me apart.” “If I didn't invest in myself I would never have made it this far.”   ABOUT THE GUEST  As a result of working with the Corporate Game Changers, organizations grow their revenue by at least 25%, expand their customer portfolio and develop new business pipelines. Yasmina combines her passion for customer excellence, curiosity in people and learning about organization's challenges and goals, to go outside of her own comfort zone and guide companies outside of theirs. That is where the change and the magic happens.

Identity, Being Unique and Investing in Yourself - Interview With Yasmina Fadli

Andrew Priestley

Award winning business leadership coach, international speaker and one of the UK’s top 100 entrepreneur mentors Andrew Priestly joins Fredrik, Ivan and Charlie today to talk all things business. Together they discuss how important it is for entrepreneurs to know their own values, the mindset of an entrepreneur and how to invest in yourself means you need to first believe in yourself.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   The best entrepreneurs are really clear on their values and their overall intentions. What is it you’re trying to do? Whilst making money is appealing in business, it is not the sole reason you should be an entrepreneur, think about what your overall goal is.     Most businesses work on this idea of ‘money’ and ‘volume’. So if you have a really low cost item, then you have to drive the volume up, you always want to make a profit. Your job is to market and drive traffic as you cannot offer something at a low price at a low volume.     The mindset of an entrepreneur is knowing that you can create massive value for people because you know who your market is, what they want and the problems they are trying to solve.     Direction and determination are two variables that drive entrepreneurs. You need to know where you are going and how you want to get there. You might know where you want to go but if you lack the direction, you won’t get there. You might have determination, but you don’t know where you’re going.     To get anywhere in life you have to invest but you have to understand what investing actually means. To invest means to deep dive, reflect and take time to think things through. You should also invest emotionally in yourself, invest in your dreams and desires and always believe in your ability to achieve them, that in itself is investment. A lot of people invest outwardly but they do not work on themselves internally.    BEST MOMENTS  “You will get less people, but they will start paying more money.” “If you cannot get $97 worth of value out of a two hour seminar then you need to check for the pulse.” “As soon as you start to look ripped your ego goes through the roof.” “You learn a lot just by doing stuff.”   ABOUT THE GUEST Andrew Priestley is a qualified, award-winning business leadership and executive coach with extensive experience working with a diverse range of established SME and corporate clients worldwide.In 2017, he was ranked in the Top 100 UK Entrepreneur Mentors .Qualified in Industrial and Organisational Psychology, he is the best-selling author of three books: The Money Chimp, Starting and Awareness; and has edited several other best-selling titles including Retire Inspire, Sales Genius, and the bestselling Fit For Purpose Leadership series.He initially started coaching high-end compliance clients (aviation, mining, law, medicine, engineering etc) and developed an award winning leadership development methodology based on five traits of highly effective leaders, that is used worldwide.Andrew is a highly sought after international speaker and facilitator.

Award Winning Business Coach Andrew Priestley Interview

Billy Shwaer

Listen in to today’s podcast as Fredrik and Ivan are joined by former world boxing champion, personal performance coach and motivational speaker Billy Shwaer. With over 23 years of boxing experience, it is safe to say that Billy knows what he is talking about, together they discuss the mindset of a professional fighter, how the true test of your character is somebody who can show up when they do not feel like it, and why investment in your personal development should never stop. KEY TAKEAWAYS   There are two fighting mindsets. The first is that you love to win and this encourages your need to be successful in the sport. The second mindset is that you truly hate to lose, this hatred spurs fighters on to become the best at their sport as they cannot stand the thought of losing. There is no right or wrong mindset, people have become champions with both mindsets.     It takes courage to step into the fighting ring and try yourself out. It is admirable of anybody who finds the courage to have a go and step into the ring. You will find yourself having to overcome that fear all the time.     Your true test of character has to show up even in the face of not feeling like it. If you don’t feel like going to training and you would rather have a day off, you have to go beyond yourself and find something within you that carries you forward even in the toughest of times. There are no hiding places in fighting, you have to summon something up from within in yourself. It is a huge test of your strength and willingness in the face of suffering pain and defeat to continue and fight for victory.     The biggest investment that you can make is the investment in yourself. Investing in yourself means investing your own time, effort and money into your personal development. You could have spent thousands of pounds investing in training programmes, courses or personal hobbies to develop yourself, but you should never stop investing in yourself.      BEST MOMENTS  “I had to find a way to prove, cover-up and survive being weak, that was why I became a boxer” “It was tough getting punched in the face.” “It is euphoric and amazing.” “I want to be free, I don’t want to be tied down.”   ABOUT THE GUEST Billy Schwer is a former British, Commonwealth, European &amp; World Boxing Champion who is now a personal performance coach. Billy is a reflective and engaging speaker who demonstrates honesty and intelligence through his Mental Boxing training programme. Billy believes that to produce world-class results in all areas our lives require a balance of mental, physical and nutritional fitness. Billy is a Certified Master Practitioner of NLP (ABNLP), Certified Master Practitioner of Time Line Therapy, a Certified Master Practitioner of Hypnosis and a Certified Master NLP coach. Billy spent 20 years at the top of his field in arguably the most gruelling and demanding sport there is – Boxing.  During his professional career, he won British, Commonwealth, European and IBO World Boxing Titles. With over 23 years’ worth of boxing experience and 10 years of studying Ontology (the study of the art and science of being), Billy believes that Boxing is a great metaphor for life. His experiences in the world of personal growth and change have helped him come to the idea of Mental Boxing. Billy is one of the most consistently brilliant fighters Britain has ever seen, with his sharp skills, courage, determination and grace in the ring he has attracted a huge fan base. His engaging personality and ready wit made him a favourite amongst other boxers, promoters, and the media. Using the lessons he learnt during his time in pursuit of the world championship, his life experiences after retirement from professional boxing, his principles of freedom, love joy and happiness, his utter conviction that anything is possible, Billy has built a successful business as an Inspirational &amp; Motivational Speaker and Performance Coach for Mental Boxing.

Listen in to today’s podcast as Fredrik and Ivan are joined by former world boxing champion, personal performance coach and motivational speaker Billy Shwaer. With over 23 years of boxing experience, it is safe to say that Billy knows what he is talking about, together they discuss the mindset of a professional fighter, how the true test of your character is somebody who can show up when they do not feel like it, and why investment in your personal development should never stop. KEY TAKEAWAYS <ul> <li>There are two fighting mindsets. The first is that you love to win and this encourages your need to be successful in the sport. The second mindset is that you truly hate to lose, this hatred spurs fighters on to become the best at their sport as they cannot stand the thought of losing. There is no right or wrong mindset, people have become champions with both mindsets.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>It takes courage to step into the fighting ring and try yourself out. It is admirable of anybody who finds the courage to have a go and step into the ring. You will find yourself having to overcome that fear all the time.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Your true test of character has to show up even in the face of not feeling like it. If you don’t feel like going to training and you would rather have a day off, you have to go beyond yourself and find something within you that carries you forward even in the toughest of times. There are no hiding places in fighting, you have to summon something up from within in yourself. It is a huge test of your strength and willingness in the face of suffering pain and defeat to continue and fight for victory.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>The biggest investment that you can make is the investment in yourself. Investing in yourself means investing your own time, effort and money into your personal development. You could have spent thousands of pounds investing in training programmes, courses or personal hobbies to develop yourself, but you should never stop investing in yourself.</li> </ul> BEST MOMENTS “I had to find a way to prove, cover-up and survive being weak, that was why I became a boxer” “It was tough getting punched in the face.” “It is euphoric and amazing.” “I want to be free, I don’t want to be tied down.” ABOUT THE GUEST Billy Schwer is a former British, Commonwealth, European &amp; World Boxing Champion who is now a personal performance coach.

Alex Honnold

Charlie Sandvall

‘If he has to choose between family and friends he chooses climbing’ he has an obsession for climbing’ Today Fredrick, Ivan and Charlie are reviewing the film ‘Free Solo’ which documents the preparation and climb of El Capitan by free soloist Alex Honnold. They discuss the ways Alex prepared and the technical challenges of filming such a climb along with the learning that can be taken from both the preparation and the actual climb. Listen in now to hear what they have to say   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Free Solo is the documentary about Alex Honnold climbing El Capitan. Free solo means no safety equipment,  it’s just him and the wall. Why is ‘Free Solo’ an unusual way of climbing? Due to the fact no safety equipment is used from 3 metres upwards climbing becomes very dangerous as any fall is statistically likely to be fatal. He practises the routine any climb over and over again like a gymnast when he undertakes the actual climb it is like a performance following intense and extended rehearsals. Alex Honnold started the Honnold foundation which ‘seeks simple sustainable ways to improve lives worldwide’ He has used the interest in his climbing to raise funds that have been used to create sustainable energy projects. Through the foundation, he has been able to integrate his passion with his profession and also do something great for people and the environment. The learning that can be taken from the climb is about thoroughly preparing and rehearsing what you are facing, and this can be applied to business where good preparation is vital for success. In business, you can also actively consider how you can pre-empt outcomes and de-risk a plan or a project.    BEST MOMENTS ‘He’s not just a jackass, he doesn’t just climb it he practises over and over again’ ‘Imagine the Olympic games where if you don’t win its certain death’ ‘He had climbed the range previously using ropes and knew it very well but prepared by rehearsing sections of it over and over again’ ‘Alex considered it was low risk with high consequences’ ‘Alex has been climbing for around 20 years of which 10years have been at a very high professional level’ ‘He is so dedicated to climbing that he lives in a van’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Invest in You Podcast Sandvall YouTube Free Solo Wikipedia Alex Honnold TED talk   ABOUT THE HOST Serial entrepreneur Fredrik Sandvall loves sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influencers.

Mastery with Alex Honnold! Learnings From Free Solo (A Review by Ivan, Fredrik & Charlie Sandvall)

Learn 30 great success strategies and tactics in more or less than 30 minutes today in this episode of the Invest In You Podcast! Fredrik and Charlie were able to put what every expert, every professional, and every influencer has to say about success in this very brief but very informative list for all of you. All you have to do is to bookmark it, save it, or take mental notes so you’ll have a pick me up whenever you feel you’re lost in the path you traverse to achieve your goals! KEY TAKEAWAYS Success strategies and tactics:  You are on a mission. You’ve got a goal to do, and that’s the ONLY option. You’ve got to do the tasks, so you progress. Problem Solving. Once you find the best solution for a big problem, you get rewarded and elated. You need to have physical health to do the things you need to do. You miss out on opportunities if you have ill health. It’s all in your mind. If you think you can do it, then you can do it. Reason why. If the idea why you’re doing what you’re doing is clear, then your path should be pretty straightforward. Goals, targets, and action. Your goals and target without actions are pretty much useless. Discipline. Stick to your checklist and your plans if you want to achieve your goal. Help others. Have a service attitude. It’s all about sharing your knowledge and skill set to be able to help others. If you do your preparations, then it’s easier to commit to your plans. Train regularly to develop your talent or skill. Project Management. Learn how to divide your tasks into different projects. Manage risk. Lower the risk of failure by careful planning and effective execution. Performance and results. Always do your best to get the best results. Multitask and focus. It’s different for everyone. For some, focusing on one thing is way more effective than doing everything at once. Learn how to survive through the ups and downs so you can achieve your goal. Change and adapt. The world is ever-changing, so you have to learn how to adapt to it to make sure you’re climbing up the ladder. Travel and get to know other cultures. It expands your mindset and your perspective about life and others. It’s all about running and guiding your team expertly. The flawed idea of doing what you Love. It’s better to play to your strengths and delegate. If it’s not your expertise, let the expert do it for you instead. Don’t give up. No matter how big the challenge, face it and overcome it! Continuous learning. Learning does not stop when you exit the classrooms. There is no limit to how much and where you can learn. Have a good mentor who you can get guidance from, talk your ideas with. It’s nice to make and collaborate on projects with other people. You learn and grow with them. Explore automation for your business; operations become more efficient. Arrange your services to a system.  Additional business tactics:  Develop income skills Sell Skip junk media Disregard media and advertising    BEST MOMENTS  “The bigger the problem, the higher the reward.” “If you don’t have health, you can’t do anything at all.” “Surviving is good when you want to achieve something in your life.” “It’s not about what you love, it’s about what it takes.” “If you do give up, you might be left with an unsolved task, a disappointed team, an unfinished business, etc.”  VALUABLE RESOURCES  Simon Sinek  ABOUT THE HOST Serial entrepreneurs Fredrik, Charlie and Ivan Sandvall love sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influences.

Success, Strategies & Tactics

A simple glance in the newspaper will tell you that stocks and shares are the lifeblood of the financial institutions of the world. Fortunes are made and lost on the whims of the market. For some, the stock market is the quickest way to make money, but what are the pitfalls to look out for? And how can you tell when stock prices are at an all-time high?  In this week’s show, we talk about the risks and potential benefits of rolling the dice on the stock market, and use the now defunct Boo.com as an example. KEY TAKEAWAYS  com was founded in 1998 and was dismantled within two years. They attracted lots of money and had fantastic forecasts. They were, unfortunately, twenty years too early. The price of bitcoin is decided by the market, and if the value falls, this is known as a discount. This can be confusing as discounts traditionally mean that a price has been purposefully reduced in order to sell. Boo’s theory behind its business was sound, it was simply too early. The infrastructure was not yet in place. Logistics realities such as delivery and supply were not as efficient as today. Boo were not just unfortunate in timing. They also spent their venture capital far too quickly on promotion and marketing.  BEST MOMENTS ‘You can pretty much buy bitcoin at a 50% discount’  ’The whole industry lost billions of dollars’  ’They need to sell the idea of why their idea is so fantastic'  ‘We should teach by having an imaginary portfolio’  ‘Listen to the experts but also take it with a big punch/pint of salt!'

Risking It All On High-Value Stocks

Rob Moore

‘There are so many ways to make money as a young entrepreneur’ Rob Moore who was a guest on the 8th episode of Invest In You is back talking with Charlie and Fredrik about young entrepreneurs. Rob is known as the disruptive entrepreneur, he writes books, does podcasts, runs a training business and is an investor in property. They discuss the opportunities for young entrepreneurs and how you can get started This episode has lots of great content about being entrepreneurial and enterprising especially if you are young and want to create a business now.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Whatever you have knowledge in, expertise in, experience in or just love to do there is scope for selling products, mentorship and masterminds and educational programs. For content creators, fan funding and crowd funding can come together through the Patreon platform and the Facebook supporter program. Young entrepreneurs I encourage young entrepreneurs  to use their youth, vitality, strength Some worry about their lack of experience but with experience can come scepticism. The great thing about youth is the energy and the naivety being able to take risks because there is less to lose. If I was a teenager now I’d be doing e-commerce and building a personal brand across various platforms. Education is geared towards creating professions and jobs, not entrepreneurship, enterprise, innovation and becoming wealthy. If you want to create your own business and take over the world being innovative then the education system may not be for you. Lots of people are looking at what they get paid and then doing the minimum to get that pay it is not an enterprising or entrepreneurial mindset. Starting over If I had to start again I would start earlier, I would probably do similar things – training and property because I enjoy them so much. I’d invest in property and get into a low overhead high margin business with a  business partner who I could leverage my skills against. I would look to leverage social media more, building a personal brand and following when you have a loyal following it doesn’t matter so much what the product or service is. There are huge entrepreneurial opportunities around climate change. If you are able to bring a solution you could become very rich very quickly and be making a significant change for good.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I just want to learn from anyone I can learn from and give some of my experience to anyone who wants it’ ‘It’s not about the money it’s about what I’ve learnt along the way’   ‘I have a foundation that works to help as many people as possible get financial education and start and scale their business’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Invest In You Podcast Trust is the New Currency book by Sheila Holt &amp; Fredrik Sandvall Kickstarter How To Make Money As A Teenager book   ABOUT THE HOST Serial entrepreneur Fredrik Sandvall loves sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influencers.

‘There are so many ways to make money as a young entrepreneur’ Rob Moore who was a guest on the 8th episode of Invest In You is back talking with Charlie and Fredrik about young entrepreneurs. Rob is known as the disruptive entrepreneur, he writes books, does podcasts, runs a training business and is an investor in property. They discuss the opportunities for young entrepreneurs and how you can get started This episode has lots of great content about being entrepreneurial and enterprising especially if you are young and want to create a business now. KEY TAKEAWAYS Whatever you have knowledge in, expertise in, experience in or just love to do there is scope for selling products, mentorship and masterminds and educational programs. For content creators, fan funding and crowd funding can come together through the Patreon platform and the Facebook supporter program. Young entrepreneurs I encourage young entrepreneurs  to use their youth, vitality, strength Some worry about their lack of experience but with experience can come scepticism. The great thing about youth is the energy and the naivety being able to take risks because there is less to lose. If I was a teenager now I’d be doing e-commerce and building a personal brand across various platforms. Education is geared towards creating professions and jobs, not entrepreneurship, enterprise, innovation and becoming wealthy. If you want to create your own business and take over the world being innovative then the education system may not be for you. Lots of people are looking at what they get paid and then doing the minimum to get that pay it is not an enterprising or entrepreneurial mindset. Starting over If I had to start again I would start earlier, I would probably do similar things – training and property because I enjoy them so much. I’d invest in property and get into a low overhead high margin business with a  business partner who I could leverage my skills against. I would look to leverage social media more, building a personal brand and following when you have a loyal following it doesn’t matter so much what the product or service is. There are huge entrepreneurial opportunities around climate change. If you are able to bring a solution you could become very rich very quickly and be making a significant change for good. BEST MOMENTS ‘I just want to learn from anyone I can learn from and give some of my experience to anyone who wants it’ ‘It’s not about the money it’s about what I’ve learnt along the way’ ‘I have a foundation that works to help as many people as possible get financial education and start and scale their business’ VALUABLE RESOURCES <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/pk/podcast/invest-in-you/id1353355236?mt=2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Invest In You Podcast</a> <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07TJ2MQQS/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&amp;btkr=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Trust is the New Currency book by Sheila Holt &amp; Fredrik Sandvall</a> <a href="http://kickstarter.com/projects/sandvall/how-to-make-money-as-a-teenager-the-book-for-you" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kickstarter How To Make Money As A Teenager book</a> ABOUT THE HOST Serial entrepreneur Fredrik Sandvall loves sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influencers.

How to Make Money & Change the World as a Young Entrepreneur; Interview with Rob Moore, The Disruptive Entrepreneur

Who would’ve thought Special Ops is similar—in so many ways—with entrepreneurial businesses? Both are no jokes. Both require intricate preparations for a successful and efficient operations. Today, on the Invest In You Podcast, Fredrik highlights the different ideas from Special Forces that you can use in the business setting. There are so many values and principles that overlaps when these two very different niches are compared, so tune in. KEY TAKEAWAYS • Before joining the Special Force, just like entrepreneurship, be decided, be physically &amp; mentally ready, before joining. Interest alone wouldn’t cut it; be prepared. • There’s a practice of selection in the military, which is the same in any business… you always pick the best to join your team. • As much as possible, you want the best equipment, training, service, etc. for your team and clients, just like in the military. • All the team members also have designations depending on their specialties. The team leader must be able to oversee and manage his team well. • Timing is also important in the two different niches. Every business project, every military tactic, needs organisation and precision. • You need courage to grow and change. You also need courage to motivate and push your team forward. • Discipline aims to remove good habits to practice good habits. It forces you to the important tasks you don’t want to do. • How do I do things in Investing? 5 F’s: o Find a great deal. o Fund it. o Fixing it. o Filling/Flipping. o Flourish. • Secrecy is needed if you want to thrive. Winning can be within your grasp if you’re unpredictable. • Planning helps you solidify the path in achieving something, but plans need to be flexible so you can be ready when an unexpected thing happens. • Think unconventionally; don’t do things that people expect you to do. • Control your fears. They exist to motivate you, to be aware of all the learnings you can get, to keep you grounded. • Persevere. Survive. Push harder. BEST MOMENTS • “In business, it’s not often about life and death, but sometimes, it can be about life and death… it’s often about survival.” • “I was fortunate to have chosen a profession that really worked well for me.” • “Timing is key. It’s how we can pivot one thing to the next.” • “Work on your skill level; don’t stop learning.” • “Plan helps you to think of all contingencies.” VALUABLE RESOURCES • Survival of the Fittest by Charles Darwin • Invest In You Podcast • Trust is the New Currency book by Sheila Holt &amp; Fredrik Sandvall • How to Make Money (book) - www.h2m.money  • Branding Yourself: How To Use Social Media to Invent or Reinvent Yourself by Kyle Lacy and Erik Deckers - https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/branding-yourself-3rd/9780134786636/   ABOUT THE HOST Serial entrepreneur Fredrik Sandvall loves sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influencers.

30 Ideas from Special Forces That You Can Use In Business

Erik Deckers

There are so many ways, using words, on how you can express what your ideas, your feelings, etc., but the perfect one to convey it to your target audience requires some skill and practice. In this episode of the Invest In You Podcast, Fredrik and Ivan interviews Erik Deckers, the owner and President of Pro Blog Service, to talk about writing, blogging, and producing content. Erik is a professional writer and has been blogging since the ‘90s. He’s got some tips prepared today regarding writing, especially if you want to improve your online presence through your social media accounts. He also sheds a light on plagiarism and repurposing one’s content. Sharing your experience, stories, and expertise to other people is the best way on how to position yourself in your industry. Discover how to write your first content, today.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Writing has always been part of his life. When he was in college, he was part of the school newspaper. And now, it’s not just his passion, it’s the very core profession. Ghost-writing is an emerging niche right now in the writing industry. For some, they get list down as the co-author, but for most, they don’t any credits at all. There are so many things that you should be wary of when producing your own content, like plagiarism. Writing his book, Brading Yourself, has helped him share his ideas, improve his craft and meet new people. It’s now the norm for teenagers to find a job, not just to support their lifestyle, but to also explore and know what they’re capabilities are. Anyone can start as early as they want to achieve financial freedom. Erik’s advice on writing a book (i.e. non-fiction):  Create an outline. Try posting a chapter online and study the feedback. Stick to your deadlines. Schedule your writing time as much as possible.   How to focus on writing? Remove all distractions. For Erik, it’s social media. So, a 30-minute writing prompt becomes a 2-hour job when he gets distracted, so he fights the urges.  BEST MOMENTS  “If I had to choose and I can only do one, I’d rather be writing.”  “I never miss a deadline.”  VALUABLE RESOURCES  Invest In You Podcast Trust is the New Currency book by Sheila Holt &amp; Fredrik Sandvall How to Make Money (book) - h2m.money Branding Yourself: How To Use Social Media to Invent or Reinvent Yourself by Kyle Lacy and Erik Deckers - https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/branding-yourself-3rd/9780134786636/  ABOUT THE GUEST Erik Deckers is a best-selling author about social media.

Word Warrior Erik Deckers top tips on writing, ghost writing and blogging

Simone Heng

‘Human connection is about a generosity of spirit, compassion and helping people’ Fredrik is discussing the power of the human connection with Simone Heng, Global Keynote Speaker. During her career in the entertainment industry, Simone honed her skills making memorable connections with audiences face to face, online and on air. She now speaks to organisations about the importance of human connection techniques and how they can transform interactions. In this fascinating episode, they discuss Simone’s journey and the true value of human connection across the globe.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Beginning and changing  I began in broadcasting and commercial modelling and was not trusted to say anything of my own, I didn’t have a voice. Radio empowered me to build my voice and how in the execution of my voice, my opinion could be shared in a likeable and accessible way. When you work in the world of entertainment you can lose your way and start to accept being validated by your appearance only neglecting your intellect. The best way to realise your intellectual potential is to begin reading and taking courses. It’s a beginning when your mind is receptive to information. Invest in you with Self-love When you show yourself some self-love and compassion you are able to show compassion towards others and are less judgemental.  Interviews It’s not about you as the interviewer you are the conduit for the messages and the answers. It’s vital to put your ego out of the way and connect with the other person as a human.   If you want to get a good interview, you need to relate to the person being interviewed on a human level and make a connection.  Human connection Human connection is about a generosity of spirit, compassion and helping people. As the conduit for the message, the researcher the art is finding the common thread of human connection that runs through all the case studies and interviews by pulling out the major themes. The more you learn you more you understand what you don’t know yet  Around the world I love little pieces of each country I've lived in; the precision and cleanliness of Switzerland, the straightforwardness of the Australians and in Singapore I love that the city is both quiet and frenetic. I would like to think I’m an amalgamation of all the places I have lived and it makes you a great speaker as you can relate with ease to a global audience. Money and value Money being taboo as a subject comes from valuing money too much, if we valued money less, took it less seriously we’d talk about it more. I'm open about money because it's not that important to me I grew up with immigrant parents who always talked about money with a threat mindset because there wasn’t enough. The minute I started giving things away that’s when my following grew because people don’t really care about me they care about the value I add to their lives. I’m the conduit for the value, compassion and empathy I add to their lives, it is not about me, I’m a shell to share the experience.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I was born and raised in a house where education was more important than food and my mum bought more courses for us to do than groceries for the house’ ‘If you are diminutive and of a certain ethnicity there is an initial perception. It's not just fighting the external perception it's fighting the internal cultural shadows’ ‘You get to the point in your career where you yourself have become a brand through the skills you have built’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Invest In You Podcast Trust is the New Currency book by Sheila Holt &amp; Fredrik Sandvall Kickstarter How To Make Money As A Teenager book    ABOUT THE GUEST Simone Heng is a professional keynote speaker, international MC and former broadcaster.

In this episode Fredrik and Rafael discuss why being a millionaire today is not exceptional and how becoming a billionaire only accomplished by 1 in every 3.5 million people globally, making it a truly exceptional achievement. Having worked with a range of billionaires for his latest book Rafael offers a fascinating insight with his wealth of knowledge into what makes a billionaire  exceptional in business, listen in and find out more.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The best entrepreneurs  It’s always best to learn from the best in the world and the best entrepreneurs in the world are those are the people who’ve created the most value those with the highest net worth. I wanted to find out about billionaires’ mindset and how they approach problems. This book is the firsthand experiences and thoughts of billionaires. I was able to compare and identify the common denominators. The global net worth measure is an effective filter resulting in a total of 2000 people meeting the criteria, this equates to 1 in every 3.5 million people being a billionaire. In the beginning it was difficult to get people to speak with me but with each person its easier and now they come to me as it provides exposure. They do not seek exposure for themselves but the companies that they care about and everything that supports legend creation in their companies is desirable to them.  Trust  It’s not about who you know, or likes you it’s about who trusts you in business. This is an important element in business and the building of sustainable relationships and growth. Billionaire elements It is important to develop all the time never stop learning and seeking self-improvement. Billionaires are all readers understanding that continual learning is a vital part of growth. The best knowledge comes from experience in your business through trialling, improving, and tweaking. This is the only way can you make a breakthrough to great value and wealth. If you use the existing knowledge you can only be the same as everyone else. There is an image of the billionaire but in reality most self-made billionaires like making money more than spending money. Billionaire Habits They all get up early at around 5.30 am creating time for themselves before the working day begins. They are physically active whatever their age Billionaires in most cases have traditional and stable private lives. Having a supportive partner who understands what you are trying to achieve and your goals is key as you can concentrate on your business life without stress and change in your personal life. There are a lot of sacrifices- long hours and extreme effort over possibly decades to achieve billions and this will include absence from significant family and personal events. Often billionaires have the same friends as when they started out as these are people who understand and believe in them. It’s important to have shared values and understanding then it is possible to work as a team and this can be very powerful.    BEST MOMENTS ‘I realised that in business now being a millionaire is average, it is mediocre’ ‘Even though he is a billionaire, he still lives in the same apartment, the only luxury he allows himself is books’ ‘The  greatest decision is having the right partner’ ‘They are disciplined and have a morning routine consisting of physical activity and some sort of meditation’ ‘People become very interested in the individual as a brand but through this, their businesses also benefit’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Invest In You Podcast Trust is the New Currency book by Sheila Holt &amp; Fredrik Sandvall Kickstarter How To Make Money As A Teenager book  The Billion Dollar Secret book by Rafael Badziag   ABOUT THE HOST Serial entrepreneur Fredrik Sandvall loves sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influencers.

Grow Your Followers with Creative Content – Interview with Zack Scriven, Influencer and Content Creator

If you don’t have a final destination, how will you know when you are there? In a first, Charlie and Fredrik are talking dream cars and goals in an unusual episode recorded whilst test driving the BMW M850i Xdrive. a car they review as sending your heart racing and being great for solo adventurers. The car is sizable but quiet enough for recording as they discuss the importance of goal setting in their lives and how visualising your goals is key to achieving your dreams. As Fredrik and Charlie experience this dream car they share the different ways you can set goals and achieve them, turning your dreams into reality.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  What is the point of setting goals? If you don’t know where you are going how will you know when you get there? Some people like to have an image, a board with have visual representations of your ultimate dreams It’s really important in business to set goals for yourself, your team, your investment fund. As an entrepreneur, it is difficult to achieve if you have not set goals. Using milestones can clarify the route you are taking. When growing up in the Swedish countryside I had no idea I would travel the world experience 80 different countries and work across 40 countries globally. Goal setting and achieving your goals gives you a choice about where you live and what you do in your life. You can have goals for a long time, but the key is to take action, without this nothing will happen or change. You can change your goals what is important now may not be important in the future, but it’s vital to always have a goal, a destination for your journey.    BEST MOMENTS  ‘I'm in the testing phase, I'm going to try it out to see if it’s what I want to do’ ‘Curiosity has taken me across the world and now I live in London but where I will live in  five years’ time nobody knows’ ‘I would never in my wildest dreams have believed I would be driving a car like this ; it was just for the rich people’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Invest In You Podcast Crushing It book by Gary Vaynerchuk   ABOUT THE HOST Serial entrepreneur Fredrik Sandvall loves sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influencers.

Mark Wright

In this special episode, Fredrik meets Mark Wright, the winner of BBC's The Apprentice in 2014, and founder of Climb Online, a digital marketing company run by Mark and Lord Alan Sugar. In this remarkably candid conversation, Mark shares his insights on the business landscape, as well as practical advice for those looking to grow, as well as the story of his own journey, both past and present; one that has led him from humble beginnings to the highest level of the business world.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Mark had a passion for business and creativity from an early age, and figured out quite quickly that a normal job wasn’t going to be a fit. From rural beginnings in Australia, Mark chose to develop his own personal training company. From here, he went into sales, and quickly found success. Success with Lord Sugar, and in the expansion of Climb Online has enabled Mark to become the owner of five more companies. As an investor, it’s far more important to understand the person you’re investing in, rather than the business. Self-improvement is paramount to Mark.

In this special episode, Fredrik meets Mark Wright, the winner of BBC's The Apprentice in 2014, and founder of Climb Online, a digital marketing company run by Mark and Lord Alan Sugar. In this remarkably candid conversation, Mark shares his insights on the business landscape, as well as practical advice for those looking to grow, as well as the story of his own journey, both past and present; one that has led him from humble beginnings to the highest level of the business world. KEY TAKEAWAYS <ul> <li>Mark had a passion for business and creativity from an early age, and figured out quite quickly that a normal job wasn’t going to be a fit. From rural beginnings in Australia, Mark chose to develop his own personal training company. From here, he went into sales, and quickly found success. Success with Lord Sugar, and in the expansion of Climb Online has enabled Mark to become the owner of five more companies.</li> <li>As an investor, it’s far more important to understand the person you’re investing in, rather than the business.</li> <li>Self-improvement is paramount to Mark. By attending events, he realised that he needed to associate with people far more successful than he was, so that their value could transfer to him. This is what led him to set up Climb Con, an event which aims to provide incredible value to those wishing to take their growth to the next level.</li> <li>Discipline is the key to success and focus. Mark recognises that a background in military or sports training often leads to success in business, due to the military’s insistence on imbuing their recruits with an enhanced sense of focus and purpose.</li> <li>As Mark has grown, the meaning of investing in himself has changed.

Strategy & Change in Business And How You Can Benefit

When you get bored, what do you usually do? You browse the internet hoping that something could entertain you. The truth is a big bulk of traffic on the web is composed of people consuming (reading, streaming, playing, etc.) content. If you’re trying to be an expert in your industry, it’s best that you try to jump on the other side of the fence – by starting to create the content. We dive deep about social media content creation in this latest episode of the Invest In You Podcast. Fredrik, Charlie, and Ivan share everything that you need to know could increase the value you contribute, the sales, and the engagement with your followers. It takes the drive, the skills, and the knowledge to position yourself as one of the top players so make sure to tune in to get their helpful tips. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Charlie hosts his own YouTube Channel, and he shares that anyone can earn money by entertaining others. Most YouTube influencers rely on ad revenues or by getting sponsors. For podcasts, it’s best to invite people of credibility and of experience whom the listeners can relate to. It’s not just assuming that you’re giving out the most significant value to your audience, but also this increases the engagement with followers and the sales. You can also collaborate content ideas with them.   Creating content builds your personal brand. Branding is essential if you want to cement your place in the industry. You want to be the go-to person, their own guide to everything they want to learn and know. It’s important to trust yourself and be confident of what you’re putting out there. And remember to be consistent on posting content on social media. Grow your following in every social media platform. Find a way to link your other platforms in the contents you make and post.

When you get bored, what do you usually do? You browse the internet hoping that something could entertain you. The truth is a big bulk of traffic on the web is composed of people consuming (reading, streaming, playing, etc.) content. If you’re trying to be an expert in your industry, it’s best that you try to jump on the other side of the fence – by starting to create the content. We dive deep about social media content creation in this latest episode of the Invest In You Podcast. Fredrik, Charlie, and Ivan share everything that you need to know could increase the value you contribute, the sales, and the engagement with your followers. It takes the drive, the skills, and the knowledge to position yourself as one of the top players so make sure to tune in to get their helpful tips. KEY TAKEAWAYS <ul> <li>Charlie hosts his own YouTube Channel, and he shares that anyone can earn money by entertaining others. Most YouTube influencers rely on ad revenues or by getting sponsors.</li> <li>For podcasts, it’s best to invite people of credibility and of experience whom the listeners can relate to. It’s not just assuming that you’re giving out the most significant value to your audience, but also this increases the engagement with followers and the sales. <ul> <li>You can also collaborate content ideas with them.</li> </ul> </li> <li>Creating content builds your personal brand. Branding is essential if you want to cement your place in the industry. You want to be the go-to person, their own guide to everything they want to learn and know.</li> <li>It’s important to trust yourself and be confident of what you’re putting out there. And remember to be consistent on posting content on social media.</li> <li>Grow your following in every social media platform. Find a way to link your other platforms in the contents you make and post. One exception though is to consider a follower’s convenience, so they continue supporting your content. For example, if you’re planning on posting a video on Facebook, it’s better if you directly upload it in there, rather than diverting it to YouTube.</li> <li>Look at what the numbers are telling you.

Social Media Content Creation!

Richard Newman

Richard Newman is the founder of Body Talk, and the author of the book ‘You Were Born To Speak’. A communication expert, he has been training clients all over the world for twenty years in business communication skills, how to best utilise business storytelling, mindset, and how to perform at their best in the key moments in life In this episode, Fredrik, Ivan and Charlie Sandvall talk to Richard about how to hone their communication skills, using methods and techniques that have taken Richard a lifetime to perfect.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  From an early age, Richard discovered that his communication skills were lacking, which led to difficulties in forming relationships and interacting socially. This lasted throughout his school life, and until he one day decided that he needed to better his skills in this area.  In India, while living among Tibetan monks, he was forced to use his own creativity to interact and form relationships with them. It was here that he learned to make effective use of non-verbal communications, such as body language and facial expressions. At acting school, he further developed these skills. Subsequently, through a very unlikely connection, Richard then began training companies in how to communicate more effectively. Richard now trains over 10,000 people each year, all over the world.    Everything we desire in life, that we don’t already have, is outside of our comfort zone. If it’s inside our comfort zone, then we already own it, or we don’t really want it that much.     When interacting with people in authority, or “VIPs”, it’s always best to treat them as a human being. Be respectful, be kind., But putting them on a pedestal will not help your interactions. What does this person care about? What’s important to them? They will appreciate and respect this approach, as all humans do.     Human beings have not risen to the top of the food chain on the planet because we’re the fastest or the strongest beings on the planet. We have become the most prevalent species on the planet because we are the best species at communicating. We have used communication to form governments, to organise strategy, to enable the replenishment of our species. This proves that we are all far more capable when it comes to communication than we often think.     In life and business, you can have the perfect speech, pitch, language and script in the world. But it means nothing if your delivery is not working. Equally, you can deliver a speech perfectly, but you have nothing to say, then they won’t take action. So we have to make sure we possess both. Congruency is key.     A person’s imagination is a strong component in communication. Words can evoke imagery in the mind. Utilising the correct words can create pictures and even memories for people, which can then be used to influence feelings.     A successful speech doesn’t mean you have to memorise every word. There’s a journey you need to take your audience on, and you can visualise that journey. All you need to do is then embark upon that journey in your mind and take your audience with you.     To get people hooked into an idea, or to put it another way, one of the main ingredients in a “viral hit”, we must tap into the journey that every human is looking for. We like stories. They help to make sense of the world around us. We are all, sometimes subconsciously, looking for the “hero’s journey” story archetype. The skill in a great communicator is transmitting that central concept into every story they tell.     To Richard, investing in yourself means nourishing yourself completely, from physical stimulation, to culture, to food, to becoming the best version of yourself there can be, in order that you can recognise where you are at that moment, where you want to go, how you’ll get there, and how you’ll make that happen.    BEST MOMENTS ‘I started to feel as though I was in a bubble, and that I couldn’t connect well with people’ ‘Even when you have no use of words, no common language, you can connect with people on a deeper, richer level’ ‘Because I embraced something that was a far bigger challenge than I was ready for, I was able to achieve something very fulfilling’ ‘You’re never quite ready and that’s okay’ ‘You really have to push yourself to improve’ ‘Everything you want in your life, is outside of your comfort zone’ ‘People like to speak, and people like to listen’ ‘Be as good as you possibly can be every day, not just when a VIP is visiting’ ‘We all have some kind of fear’ ‘Actually, all of us are naturally good communicators’ ‘You can say the right words and get the wrong reaction’ ‘We are essentially visual creatures’ ‘Words lead to pictures lead to feelings’ ‘There’s an amazing power that words have to create pictures’ ‘A pause is an audio highlighter’   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardnewmanspeaks/ https://www.facebook.com/richardnewmanspeaks https://www.ukbodytalk.com/  Invest In You Podcast   ABOUT THE HOST Serial entrepreneur Fredrik Sandvall loves sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influencers.

What is your Ten-Year Plan?

In this episode Fredrik, Ivan and Charlie are together and discussing the importance and power of obsession in realising your goals and aspirations. They share their own obsessions and how they are focusing on achieving positive results. If you want to understand more about the role and power of obsession when you are learning new things and on the journey of self-improvement then listen in now. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Being obsessed can be great if you are obsessed with the right things. If you are obsessed you can develop positive habits, and this can be a productive part of your life. If, like Ivan, you are obsessed with training to achieve a goal you will have focus and achieve positive results. Being obsessed can make you push yourself to learn new things and reach new heights. If your obsession is video and parkour, like Charlie, then you can learn and improve your skills and techniques Over the past few years Fredrik has had several interests that he has focused on and in recent years an obsession to achieve successful outcomes in property has helped him reach results that are, in many cases, significantly more than others achieve. What’s the opposite of obsessed? It's that weak lethargic guy who only does enough to survive. He hasn’t gone the extra mile or tried to do anything to improve himself. Is that who you want to be? We all have the choice to flick the switch and go ‘full on’ or to not touch the switch at all. People who are obsessed have made a positive choice to really improve. Obsession is about pushing through and doing a lot more than is normal.  Whatever you choose to do in your life it’s important that in your chosen space you strive to be extraordinary.  You need to know what your destination is with specific goals and a detailed plan to achieve success. Even if you don’t achieve your goals you will have improved and have started on the journey. If you set high goals you will push yourself harder to reach them and move more rapidly. You know you are truly obsessed when no one is watching, and you are still doing the work. Others may see an obsession at its peak, but there will have been many years of training to reach that point  BEST MOMENTS ‘I'm obsessed with helping others and this means I often say ‘yes’ more than I should’ ‘Wouldn’t you rather be obsessed and awesome’ ‘If you are obsessed with the wrong things then this is destructive and negative’ ‘Athletes and high performers are sure they are going to get there’ ‘I know exactly where I am going to go and know I’m going to get there’ ‘Anyone can be obsessed and what you are obsessed about is up to you’ ‘Obsession can take the form of wanting to challenge yourself in different ways such as climbing a mountain’ ‘When you think that working super hard towards your goals is fun then you are obsessed’ ‘Life is so short do what you want to do’ VALUABLE RESOURCES https://itunes.apple.com/pk/podcast/invest-in-you/id1353355236?mt=2 https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ivan+sandvall https://www.instagram.com/ivansandvall/ ABOUT THE HOST Serial entrepreneur Fredrik Sandvall loves sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influencers.
