ARE YOU WORKING TO YOUR STRENGTHS?
WHAT I'M ABOUT
Welcome to my site. My goal is to inspire as many budding entrepreneurs as possible and ensure they have access to the information they need, that helps them get started in business. Over the last 10 years I've helped over 300 people in 12 different countries start their business, so I have a good idea of the challenges that will be faced and the mistakes that can be made.
MORE ABOUT MY WEBINARS
In my view there has never been a better time to become and entrepreneur, but it's not for everyone. So, if you have the itch and are serious about working towards having the choices and freedom being your own boss can bring, I'd be delighted to give you the benefit of my experience.
A good start would be to take my free entrepreneurial quiz. This will help you know what stage you are at and help you understand what the best next steps are.

GRANT STAIN
SERIAL ENTREPRENEUR
With 20 years of running businesses I've learnt a few things along the way. My background is based in design and branding and that is at the heart of all of my work. A good chunk of that time has been working with people looking to start in a new field or beginning their entrepreneurial journey.
I still have a number of businesses but focus the bulk of my time working with Blam helping my partners run their own digital marketing agency. I still dedicate half a day a week to private clients but pick and choose who I work with carefully.
Business is what I do for fun, I love studying and still consider myself a student.

Reflecting on an amazing few days hanging out with @stevedsims Sims and his distillery members in Venice Beach. Being educated by some of the legends like Jay Abraham and Perry Belcher to name just two was an awesome experience.

Having spent so much time in Spain over the years, reminders of the wonderful culture, landscapes, weather, people and food that the country has to offer on a cold, wet and windy UK night in January is awesome!

Accompanied by a great glass of red, olives and cheese this was heaven.

It will last me a few weeks, and it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for me each time I roll it out it will make me happy.π

I’m sharing my morning routine for accountability. I’ve tried many variations but this is my go to right now. I tried the 5am club and despite persevering for months I never enjoyed it (is that the point π€).
.
This routine still requires discipline but I also look forward to it.πͺππ€©
.
I find I like to work late rather than early, let me know your thoughts, how can I improve on this?

There are no silver bullets to success in business (or life!) and no “one size fits all”, but there are some commonalities that we should all be doing as default as a foundation.
GOAL SETTING is one of those.
So how do you set goals and stick to them? The process I use gives you a solid system that can help you achieve your goals or get much closer to them than usual and is as follows:
1. Set goals that are specific and can be measured.
2. Set goals that are ambitious but achievable (you need to believe you can hit them).
3. Write them down every day and the action you will take to get closer to them each day.
4. Tell them to someone so you can be accountable to them.
.
You can use this sheet to define your goals and then let’s get sharing:

Post Covid working means the Blam team rarely come together all at once. We’ve now put in a policy to get as many team members in the office at once e at least once a week. ππ€©

We definitely notice the difference in our collaboration, conversations and mindset even when we are busy working together.ππ

Remote and flexible working is great but it’s still a huge benefit when you can have that in person interaction regularly, our souls need it! ππ₯ππ

My relationship goal this year was to take 6 trips away with Abby and we’ve just competed the sixth oneππ€©π.
Spending quality time together is the best thing for our relationship, especially with a change of scenery which why I set it as a goal in January.♥οΈπ
.
It took effort and planning, but is so beneficial. We completed the goal with this trip to the wonderful spa town of Buxton, one of our go-to favourites.ππ

My relationship goal is one of seven goals I set each year and having a target for each element of life I feel is what keeps me grounded, focussed and happy.πππ

Your environment influences your mindset so consider your work environment and care about making it right for you.π
.
My space in my home office is just how I want it, from what’s in front of me when I’m working to what’s behind me when I’m on a video meeting (no virtual background for me!).ππ

When you’re environment is right, it helps your mindset and focus, and all entrepreneurs need to look after their mindset first and foremost. πͺππ

I love this brand πππ€©
.
I started my work life studying branding and trained as a graphic designer, way back when... Cutting my teeth at work, building brand identities for businesses was a passion I gained and has never left me.
.
Every entrepreneur becomes invested in their brand and if you love that brand it helps inspire you more and gives you pride in your business.♥οΈ
.
The thing I learnt early on is everyone has different taste and not everyone will love your brand. I always advise entrepreneurs to listen to their own gut when choosing their brand and not to worry too much about what other people think. Show ten different people a logo and you’ll get ten different opinions, it’s sooo subjective! So focus on making sure you love your logo and brand and you won’t go far wrong, after all it’s you that has to live with it!ππ€©ππ

It wasn’t until lockdown that I really started to see the benefit of walking. My wife and I did our daily routes locally to get some fresh air having been confined to our home through that weird period of time “lockdown”!π
.
Before that, I used to think it was inefficient and too slow to do any good for my health and too long winded that ate into my day!π³
.
What I now find (maybe I’m getting old, lol), is the benefits of a walk out in nature with my wife and or friends is a great way of working through your thoughts and enjoying the scenery too.π
.
Many a business problem has been worked through on my regular walks, many deals have been stuck and much pleasure has been had whilst walking through the wonderful English, Welsh and Scottish scenery.π
.
So although lockdown had a lot of negatives, I can say my love of walking is a result of that period, and I’m certain it’s an asset to my business as well as my relationship with close friends and family ππ.

A chance to review the day and debate the strategy. Socialising with colleagues can unearth new perspective and consolidate relationships.

Building that team that are happy to play and work as one not only is good for the business but also good for our souls.

Making an effort for our environment to be branded and aspirational is encouraging the team to spend more time here.

One of my goals this year was to take six trips away with @abbysound Got the last one in right at the last minute but achieved the goal.ππ

One of my daily affirmations is “I spend quality time with Abby every week”. This definitely constitutes quality time β
.

#lifegoals #entrepreneur #smallbusinesssupport #entrepreneurship
Not done enough of this lately. During lockdown Abby and I started walking most days, covering 3-7 miles each time. πΆβοΈπΆ
.
We found it hugely beneficial to plan, dream and discuss life and business in general. π
.
Now we are back to normal and both commuting to work it’s become less regular and we really miss it.π
.
However, it’s really made us appreciate how important it is to share our day to day lives with each other. It’s definitely helped my business, as prior to these lockdown walks, most of what I did at work was a mystery to Abby, lol!
.
She’s now an integral part of the business and an awesome council for me when making decisions.πͺ

It’s “personal” strategy Saturday time! In going through my book of goals I found this letter I wrote to myself.
.
Following the interview I did with @gustafwilhelm earlier this year he recommended writing a letter to yourself.
.
Not something I’d ever tried before but here’s the result. Interesting to see what I wrote, and it gave me food for though this morning when I re-read it.

Sometimes you need to take your own advice!

This quote resonates with me this morning. I’ve been building my business dreams for over 21 years and that journey has informed who I am today.π
.
They say life is about the journey not the destination. I’m my view focussing on that destination (big vision, dream) is what makes the journey so funππ€©!
.
If the dream isn’t big enough and the destination not clear, the journey will be meandering and aimless.π³

So what I take from this quote is, dream big and enjoy and learn from the journey to get thereπͺπ€©πππ.

Are you a dummy?
-
π« Contrary to popular belief, being a dummy when you are selling to prospects can actually be really useful!
π When we know our business inside out, sometimes we can end up getting too technical, which can actually kill a deal.
π¨πΌ Keep in mind, our prospects aren’t technically minded like us, so if you give them too much information, it can end up leaving them feeling like they have to make a decision, and thinking about it for too long.
π° Thinking about it is the thing we dont want our prospects to do at the end of a sale!
-
π Be a dummy
π₯ Keep the information to the basics
π» Don’t get too technical
π and you will see your sales improve exponentially!

When is the best time to start your first business? You will always find a reason to delay starting the scary journey of being your own boss!π€π¬πͺ

Life is full of reasons (excuses) as to why you should wait for th stars to align!

They usually always say they wish they had started soonerππ°π€©.

Taking advice from someone who's been there done it and got the t-shirt is is one of the most important things you can do for you and your business.π
.
Just look at any high performer in sport. Although they are already excellent at what they do, they still have a coach there to help them improve, achieve more and draw from their vast experience.πͺ
.
A coach can help you learn from their mistakes, keep you accountable to your actions and motivate you to achieve more faster.ππ
.
You could start with looking on LinkedIn or Instagram for coaches in your field, find someone who resinates and someone who has done what you are yet to achieve. In my experience, we don't value what we don't pay for so be prepared to spend money on a coach, you are much more likely to act on their advice that way!ππͺπ°π

In business, if you are the go-to person that people know they can rely on, it can only assist your success.π

Conversely, being known for your unreliability will make you bottom of the list when other successful people are looking to work with others.π¬π

So, turn up on time when you say you are going to. Care about the perception of your reliability, and value other peoples time as much as yours and see your business flourish.πππ

It’s scary talking to prospects.π£

It’s scary moving to your first office.π’
.
It’s scary taking on your first employees.π§βοΈπ§π§βοΈ

Do you need a nap?
To work at optimum efficiency we need to ensure we’re getting the right amount of sleep.
.
You may think you’re #workinglikeamaniac by burning the candle at both ends, but your performance is going to suffer if you keep it up.π΄π΅π«
.
There are some people who can survive on little sleep each night, but they are rare. Most of us need 7-8 hours a night to be functioning at our optimum level.πͺπ
.
To help ensure you are at full energy levels, diarise your sleep. Set a remainder for when you go to bed as well as your alarm for getting up.ππ
.
Taking a 15 min power nap, during the day, if you haven’t hit the hours at night can help get you back on track. Meditation can also work if falling asleep is not easy for you.ππ
.
Remember, prioritising sleep is just another tool in the entrepreneurial toolbox π§°

Self-doubt will kill all your dreams. π€
.
There are plenty of people who you need to doubt, but you are not one of them!π
.
Focus on your goals and visualise yourself there. Keep that image and never doubt what you are capable of, never, ever, ever give up.πππͺ

When you measure your actions daily, the actions that lead to your success, it much easier to get into the habit and be consistent.ππͺπ
.
When you are not measuring the repeatable tasks that need to be done, like calls, emails, appointments and sales, it’s so much easier to become demotivated and fall off the wagon.π¬
.
Measure all your actions, stay focussed and consistent and success will come.ππ¦π

Having an attitude of gratitude right from the moment you open your eyes will give you a head start on a positive day.π

Where do you do your best work, at home, in the city or in the countryside?π€
.
The truth is for me I live a mix, but for the Blam office, I prefer the buzz of the city and the contacts, energy and amenities it provides.π’π¦π¬
.
Wherever suits you best is a personal choice but making plans to achieve that ideal scenario is key another ingredient on the journey to success.πππ

This is sooo true, I’ve seen this sooo many times.π¬
.
When I was running my app development company as the core business nearly every week I would get someone approach me and say “I’ve got this great idea, it’s going to be the next big app. If you sign an NDA and I’ll tell you the idea, you build the app and we’ll split the profits”!!!!
π€¦π»βοΈπ€·βοΈπ¬
.
My response “I have 100 ideas, all are the next big thing, ideas are cheap”.
.
“The success comes from the idea combined with a relentless pursuit of success, hard work and perseverance. The idea is just the easy bit at the beginning.”πͺπͺπͺ
.
So if you have an idea, great, now work your ass off to make it reality and never, ever, ever give up.πππͺ

Are you branded?
.
Wearing your brand shows the world that you feel good about your business and “you mean business”.ππ
.
It’s easy to brand yourself and your staff with your logo and core messages, so wear them with pride and build that brand.π
.
My favourite is my new coat in this video, closely followed by my body warmer, what’s yours?ππ

They say it’s about the journey not the destination…
But when you’re journey has been the usual ups and downs of the entrepreneurial lifestyle, the view from the top is sooo much sweeterπ
.
So enjoy the journey, be grateful for the ups and downs, and know it is the thing that will make the view from the top so much more enjoyable.π

We’re told by some that multi-tasking isn’t a good thing, and in most cases I agree.π
.
However, in this instance I think it’s a must! Listening and learning whilst you are working out can help multiply your success and neither activity needs to loose out.πͺπ
.
The Audible app is my go to or a good podcast from someone like Tim Ferriss can be game changing.ππ
.
Let me know what you’ve been listening to, I’m always in the hunt for more good listening. π ππππ

I’m a HUGE advocate of a morning routine. The discipline of consistency every morning, doing the work that sets you up for the day, in my view is an absolute mustππͺπ.
.
So seek out what successful people do and replicate their habits.
- affirmations
- exercise
- education
- meditation
- visualisation
- writing down your goals
.
The best in the world do these things, so aim high and get to it.ππππ°π°π°πππ
