Podcast host Michael Crane is so proud to have on the show someone who is demonstrating the importance of starting young to achieve success his son, Finn!   Finn has been developing himself, learning from his mistakes, and becoming aware of his surroundings at a young age, and it has been inspiring to watch him grow and make progress each day.   As a successful young entrepreneur, Finn will be sharing share some of his thoughts about how he has stayed motivated and his plight to strive for success.  HOW IMPORTANT IS IT FOR YOU TO STAY MOTIVATED?  Keeping the momentum going is important, like in everything you do, no one wants the same thing over and over again. To keep your customers interested, you need to find new ways to switch up what you’re doing.   To make it more profitable, he has done research and looked at ways to make the processes more efficient, so he can get more profit and for customers to be able to purchase from him. For example, he will be speaking about print-on-demand services for custom clothing, as he looks to expand his portfolio to include t-shirts and other gear like boxing pads.   WHY HAVE YOU NOT GIVEN UP?  The strength within you lies in your resilience and determination to persevere.   Why have you not given up? Finn says, “The answer lies in the results you’ve seen and the progress you’ve made. it is like a staircase, with some steps larger than others. Every 10 steps, you get a glimpse of what you are working towards. Seeing people with similar goals as yours achieving success, or getting the money back after selling them, has kept you motivated. It is this motivation that will drive you to success”.  YOU NEED TO BE A MASTER OF SO MANY SPECIALITIES IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL.  Finn says he needs to be a master of many specialities, but out of the subjects he is studying at school, the one he most enjoys is marketing. It allows him to use the information he must create, something creative.   HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET THE CASH TO BUY THE PRODUCT DIRECTLY?  He says, If you’re looking to save and grow your money, you’re in luck.   He has started to save roughly 60% of what he earns and split the amount equally into two separate accounts – his personal bank account and a business account. The thought behind his thinking is to have money in his business account that will finance future products that will be added to his portfolio and build up his cash in hand to allow him to self-financing his venture while he is still young.  TO RECAP As Finn embarks on his journey to build his empire, he understands that success is not an overnight phenomenon.   To achieve his goals, Finn knows that he needs to remain focused on the things that matter and align his efforts towards them. It’s important to address the question of why he hasn’t given up, as many individuals tend to lose sight of their dreams too soon. By tackling this issue head-on, Finn can stay motivated and continue to strive for success.  We also discussed the significant role of skill development in achieving success. No one possesses all the answers, and it’s crucial to gather new information and learn from peers and people in his network. Finn can benefit from the wisdom and knowledge of his teachers at school, which can help him achieve his business goals and overall outlook on life.

The Benefits of Self-Care and Mindful Living Taking time out of your busy life is essential for your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It allows you to rest, recharge, and focus on the things that matter most to you. Taking time out of your day-to-day life can help reduce stress, increase productivity, and give you the energy to take on the challenges ahead. On today's podcast, we will be discussing why taking time out of your busy life is so important, as well as our upcoming trip to Gran Canaria and the perfect opportunity to step away from our laptops and recharge our mind, body and soul. Tune in to find out why taking time out of your busy life is so important. How do you know when the time is right to get away from stress? If you start to feel overwhelmed or experience a feeling of unease, it may be time to take a break and get away from it. Good stress can give us energy and focus, but when we cross the line into bad stress it can lead to a feeling of unease. This feeling can have a negative effect on our energy levels, sleep, and even our mood. It's important to recognize when you start to feel this way and find ways to cope with the negative emotions. Take a break, find a healthy outlet, and make sure to take care of yourself. Doing these things can help you to regain your energy and balance in life. The importance of listening to your body’s clues and taking action. It's incredible to think that our bodies can give us the clues to make smart decisions when it comes to our health and wellbeing. By paying attention to these signs, we can take appropriate action before it's too late. Take my own story – Simon started running the parkrun and felt niggles in his leg. He could have decided to ignore the signs, pushing myself too hard and risking injury, but instead he chose to listen to my body. he slowed down my pace and eventually the niggles faded, so he was able to continue his run. When you can get away from it, it’s amazing how much more creative we become. Our mind is the foundation of our physical health and state. When we escape our current environment and immerse ourselves in a new one, we become more creative and innovative. For example, when we go to Gran Canaria, Simon is able to think more positively and constructively without becoming overwhelmed by challenges or problems. You dream more and get great ideas that seem to come out of nowhere. When he’s away on holiday, his dreams become more vivid and is able to think of solutions and opportunities that he wouldn't have otherwise considered. How often do you think it’s important to get away from the office? Most companies and their employees tend to get four to five weeks of holiday each year. But in today's busy world, that is the bare minimum. We should be aiming to take all four weeks off and go away, if possible. We understand that with the increasing cost of living, this may not always be feasible. However, it is important to make a conscious effort to take all of our allotted time off and enjoy some well-deserved rest and relaxation. Recap: Take Time Out of Your Busy Life When life starts to feel overwhelming and you start to experience that feeling of unease, it may be time to take a step back and get away from it all. We understand the importance of self-care and mindful living, and taking time out of your busy life to focus on your mental wellbeing. Stress can be a double-edged sword; while it can give you focus and energy, when it crosses over into bad stress, it can lead to a lack of energy, difficulty sleeping, and even a negative mindset. Taking a break from your everyday routine and taking the time to focus on your own wellbeing can help you to feel more balanced and in control.

Welcome to the show! My father abandoned me when I was a baby What do you remember about your experience of being abandoned at birth? She doesn’t remember anything about being abandoned at birth but realized it when she turned 30 years old. Her father was living with her mother when she was born, and when she brought Railey home from the hospital, he told her to leave. He had already had another woman in the house, and her mother had nowhere to go. Her older brother and sister created a tent in the backyard to ensure her family were safe. She cannot imagine what her mother went through,  but she never told Railey about it until she was older.

It’s amazing how the innocence of a child’s mind can be so powerful. The freedom to have the choices to do what you want and live your ideal life Railey came into coaching later than most.

Freedom is incredibly important to her! As a child, she felt trapped in so many ways, but now she has the freedom to create the life she wants. With the support of her amazing and loving Italian husband, they have co-created this life together. It doesn’t mean that it’s problem-free, but by using self-awareness and self-management, they are able to manage their problems in ways that propel them closer to their dream. This journey has been an immense blessing for Railey, and she is grateful for it.

Achieve Visionary Success. We're discussing the power of visionary goal setting and how to line your vision with your goals. Whether it's a personal goal, a business goal, or achieving the body of your dreams, we want to focus on the feeling of accomplishment when those goals are achieved. We'll use the example of finding the perfect home – what would it look like, and how would you feel when you walk through the door for the first time? For business owners and entrepreneurs, the feeling of success when you reach your goals can be truly empowering. So, let's take a look today at what happens when you set a vision and reach for it. Join us as we explore the power of goal setting and how to make sure your vision translates into reality. What’s the definition of a clear vision? There’s an old saying, “without vision, people are lost.” It is a powerful reminder of why we should set goals and objectives for ourselves - by having a clear vision of what we want our lives to look like. We can set achievable and measurable goals to help us get there. Having a clear vision of where we want to be is the first step in the journey towards success. Having a clear idea of the end goal is essential, whether it’s our personal life, our businesses, or a particular project or expedition. Once we have a vision and a destination, we can set objectives and milestones to help us get there. What is the difference between goal setting and vision? The power of goal-setting and vision can be mighty, especially when achieving our goals and dreams. While it's essential to have specific goals, it's also important to have a bigger vision that can help us stay motivated and inspired as we work towards our goals. Don’t be afraid to fail with your vision Having a clear vision and taking action to reach that vision is an exhilarating experience. There are times when the journey may be bumpy, and it may not be easy to stay focused. But having a big dream and a clear vision can be incredibly motivating and inspiring. The French team were indeed gutted after their loss at the World Cup. But having a big vision and aiming for the stars is still a success, even if you only hit the moon. It's important to understand that, no matter what, you should never be afraid to fail or to aim high. The importance of bringing your vision to life regularly For the past five years, Simon has held tight to a vision of the future planted in his heart and mind. He remembers cutting out a picture of a cruise ship and sticking it on his vision board at the time and have forgotten about it until he discovered it again in the loft a couple of months ago. What's amazing is that most of the dreams and goals he'd set out to achieve in those five years were accomplished in that period without him even realizing it. This experience speaks highly of the power of our subconscious minds and the ability to manifest positive thinking into reality. Have you ever been to a place where you’ve achieved your vision? It's been many years since Michael was in school, but h can still remember my passion for learning to fly. He had a vision of himself soaring in the sky and was determined to make it a reality. At 18, he started taking flying lessons, and, despite not being the sharpest student in the class, he achieved his private pilot's license.

On today's M&S Podcast show, we are speaking about decisions. Decisions can be from a business perspective or a personal reflection. Every day, we make decisions, good or bad or damn right ugly. At first glance, it may seem like an easy topic for a podcast episode, but it's the driving force behind all that we do. You know it's true - the decisions you make and the paths you choose can profoundly impact your future. So take the time to explore this concept more deeply - you never know what you might discover. 8 Step decision-making process Lessons from before Reflection Does the outcome move me forward Seek wise Council before Make the decision Take action to implement Review Champion the success or learn from the lessons What did we learn from the mistake of a previous decision? It is all too easy to make a great decision, and the outcome is exactly what was wanted; however, it only sometimes works out in the way we intended, and sometimes the decision is disastrous. If you have made many terrible decisions in business, let me tell you, you are definitely not alone. One way we learn from our mistakes is by deciding after the event what worked, because more times than not, a poor decision was not all bad; there would be some of the events that were all right, but the end result was not the intended success. How do we learn for next time? One of the best ways to learn from a previous poor decision is to make notes and decide what didn't work before, so you can do less and, on the other, what did work and do more. We are often away in the moment of triumph or defeat and forget the good and the bad when a similar event comes our way next time. It's essential to take the time to reflect and think about your overall outcome. It's vital to be conscious and analyse yourself at the moment. Sitting on your hands and taking the time to consider the consequences of your decisions is invaluable. Taking this time to evaluate yourself and your choices is an essential step in ensuring you reach your desired outcome. Michael Crane Live - Episode 51 - Business Decisions
