Business Conversations With Clive Enever

Studies indicate our sub-conscious runs the show 95 per cent of the time, but what if those inner belief patterns don't align with what you're looking to achieve? In this Business Conversation, kinesiologist Amanda Kate explains that often we limit ourselves by what we've been told about ourselves and what we believe as true. When we understand how much of the limitation we believe in is false and fear based, we can move beyond it, step into our authentic self, create and enforce boundaries and live the life we truly deserve. Key areas covered in this podcast include: •Limiting beliefs - what they are and how they impact us •The importance of boundaries •Embracing the abundance mindset As a highly-skilled and trained kinesiologist, Amanda Kate has a passion for healthy living and seeks to empower her clients and balance the body on every level - physical, chemical and emotional. Amanda works to facilitate the recognition of self-sabotaging behaviours, limiting beliefs and negative behaviour patterns

Business is like an elite performance, requiring focus, motivation and resilience, but often as business operators, we lack the training we need to be confident at such an elite level.

Cailin and I discuss: •The similarities between artistic or sports performance and business •Performance psychology and mental skills training •Building inner belief in our ability Cailin Howarth is a classical singer who trained at The Conservatorium of Music at The University of Melbourne before performing in Australia and Europe.

Through her business, she supports creatives and perform

The biggest trend in the business world at the moment is to produce a book of your own, but as Katrena Friel of Becoming the Expert explains, authoring a book is just one part of the journey to success, not the actual end-game. In this podcast, Katrena shares her insight into why coaches and authors starve and how they can avoid falling into this trap. Three key areas discussed in this podcast include: •Why it's important in business to have a variety of income streams. •Why 99 per cent of authors in Australia make no money. •Why the majority of coaches don't make any money either and how to flip that and add income streams to your book and coaching as a strategy.

Contrary to popular belief, the key to your success in sales is not in how well you know your product, or in how many cold calls you can make, or in having the right connections. Although these things do help, expert consultant Daniel Tolson explains the key to success actually lies in your level of social intelligence, and without it, you're simply living by the law of chance. In this Business Conversations podcast, Daniel explains social intelligence is the ability to build successful relationships and manage social environments. He notes society has conditioned us to believe that formal education is the only path to success. But the reality is, what you know will only get you so far.

Perfectionism is very different to doing a job to the best of your ability, and according to expert Heather Rider, it's highly problematic in business and life. In this Business Conversations Podcast, Heather shares her first-hand experience of how perfectionism stifles our creativity, leads to procrastination and limits our full potential.

Three key messages of this podcast include: •The difference between high standards and perfectionism •Why perfectionism is unrealistic and unattainable. Striving for perfectionism leads to burn out. •How fear of not doing something perfectly actually slows growth in business. It is better to be in action than to make sure everything is perfect, which just slows down momentum Known professionally as The Energy Synergist, Heather Rider is an anxiety specialist who personal
