Thanks for supporting Lewis and myself, Stuart over the last year and bit. We have had fun delivering and sharing our knowledge with you all. This is the last episode for a while. We both have a different focus this year, me with the excitement of the Olympics to get and keep them focused and the relaunch of my Online 8 Week Peak Performance Program. Lewis is also busy restructuring himself now his PHD is done and building his business and executive coaching business. We have left you with...

Following on from Lewis's Ep38. Money Mindset for Fast Growth Business Owners, I have taken a deeper dive into the fundamentals of the mind. I think that it may be an advantage to listen to that one first if you have time. Money is a very a real issue and blockage for so many, so I have dug down deep to help you understand the triggers and the fundamentals at play here. I have to admit, that I started on a pathway and with notes on this one and as I do in my client sessions, I took a few...

A huge shout out to Marc Eccles, who Lewis interviewed in the last episode. It a very raw and vulnerable look into what success really looks like. I would suggest go and listen to that one (Ep 39) first if you have not already. This episode is a follow on from that one. This episode expands on Marc's comments and somewhere along the journey, I went into 'change mode' and shared a very powerful process that I use with my Champions in sport and in business. If you can listen to this in a...

Business owners, entrepreneurs, CEOs... have you ever wondered what REALLY takes to have your business work without you? In this episode of the CEO's Secret Weapon, two business coaches (that own businesses too) collide as they discuss the real life challenges business owners face whilst building a business that can work without them. Today, your host coach Lewis Haydon interviews business coach Marc Eccles as he talks about his journey as a business owner and why he became a business...

Growth costs money... how much are you limiting your business growth because of your money mindset? In this episode of CEO's Secret Weapon, coach Lewis Haydon talks about how business owners hold the growth of their company and their people back because of thinking about money in the wrong way. What sort of constraints do you put on your business because of limiting beliefs? Is your money mindset where it needs to be to have the business you want to achieve? Let us know in the...

I hate selling... I hate being sold to... How do we then build a business, negotiate salary, deal with partners, employees and bring opportunities to the business if we dont sell? Again, lets understand the difference at an emotional level and avoid the pitfalls of the 'new age selling process', that we all hate, except marketing companies who love to tell you how useless you are if you don't follow their system. And then we have the self labelled 'experts', you know the ones that...

As we all know, everything always works out soo well in business and life! According to the law of averages, the pathway is going to be a balance of 50/50 great and not so (insert your own words here) A great day is not actually a great day, it is a great attitude to the experience, call or situation you find yourself in. Some people love chaos, they believe they thrive in it. So ask yourself the question here, do they create 'Chaos' in order to thrive and feel alive? probably yes! This...

Hi Listeners, This is Stuart Walter, on behalf of Lewis Haydon. We have been talking about the subscription based arm of this podcast 'The Board Room' for a few episodes now.

Remember to connect to us, go to the website, connect via LinkedIn and send us a request for an episode or a great person who we can interview about success in business and...

Show notes. Following on from Lewis' last episode, we decided to go a little deeper to understand why people don't take action. The mind has 17 Fundamentals that are like rules or laws as to why we do what we do and think the way we do. These fundamentals are always operating at the deep unconscious level and can not be altered. One of which is #3 Fundamental, 'Everything we do is for a beneficial reason'. Based on that, we have to understand the reason many of us don't take action when we...

Planning is essential for business growth, but is it ALWAYS a good thing? Humans are not generic. Running a business is all about understanding the dynamic of teams and individuals within those teams. We can't assume that one method of doing something to grow our business is going to work with all our team. Here is an example. If your business has employees then you can guarantee that not every employee will not think and act the same. When implementing a new strategy in a business,...

And here we go!... This is not next level thinking, this step is going 'Beyond the Next Level'. Since Lewis came to Australia, we have been planning and building to becoming The Peak Performance Podcast for CEO's and business owners. We are both world leaders in our fields and combined we approach success from a strategic and mindset perspective. to date neither of us has found another podcast with a similar approach. This Episode is the introduction to the Structure to build your Peak...

How often have you heard talk about how busy they are or that they don't have the time? In this episode of the CEO's Secret Weapon podcast, your host Lewis Haydon gets real about the reality of working hard in business and how business owners are busy doing the wrong stuff.

"How do you soar like an eagle, when you are surrounded by turkeys?" I know it is a common quote, I was not able to find credit anyone for this as the original owner. Thanks to a listener who connected with me (Stuart Walter) on LinkedIn for this episode. Their comment, "An interesting thing which I’m coming up against at the moment is dealing with negativity within the workforce, and how from one person it spreads.  Any insights into that would be welcome 😊" Well here you go, from a...

What fuel are you currently running your business on, standard or premium fuel? What impact is that having on your business results? Have you ever stopped and looked at what your business really needs to make it operate at its optimum performance? In this episode of the CEO's Secret Weapon, your podcast host Lewis Haydon talks about how your business is a vehicle for your success, and that vehicle needs the right fuel! The right input equals the right output. Bad fuel in, bad performance...

This journey around the Boardroom table started back in Episode 18 with Lewis, his clarity on who you need around your boardroom table really hit the mark for content. The knowledge from his years running his own business and as an elite business coach in the UK (Have we shared that Lewis Haydon was named The UK Coach of the year late last year?) really made me think about the benefits from a peak performance mindset perspective. We then had a great chat here in Australia when Lewis came...

Hi and welcome back, Stuart here again with more mindset content. Communication a very broad term and a huge subject that we will continue to explore throughout this podcast series. Communication is not just talking as some people believe, it is greater than that, apparently it is only 7% words (I say apparently, because we do not know) the balance of 93% is tone, tempo, volume and the non verbal of body language. We are only focussing here on verbal communication today. The most...

Is your environment right for getting you where you want to be or is it time to change some people around? In episode 18, Lewis Haydon spoke about 'Who do you need around your board room table?' In this episode, we turn the concept upside down to explore it from a different angle. Are the people around your board room table stopping you from getting you where you want to be? In this episode you will get: 1) How to get clarity on who you will need in your environment to get where you...

Stuart here for this episode, Lewis is flat out with the final touches to his PHD for handing in and preparing to come to Australia to visit, so I am delivering another episode for you. Eating smarties does not make you smart. What makes you smart is what you consume emotionally and mentally. Some people may be the healthiest of eaters, yet be highly stressed and negative. Just because you eat well does not manifest into your actions and energy. This episode outlines the brain's ability...

Thanks to a listener for the content for this episode. Her message reads... 'I’m noticing a lot of limiting beliefs popping up and a huge fear of success which is a new one. Listening to your podcasts are helping me a lot so thank you guys for doing such an awesome job on those.'  Firstly, Thank you. I will not share your name for professional and confidential reasons. Anyone can ask such questions and request either Lewis or myself, Stuart, can answer your question and provide a solution...

When you model excellence you begin to become excellent. With all my elite athletes, I teach them how to use YouTube to transform them into the best athlete... by watching and becoming the best in the world, that is what starts happening, the neural pathways start to replicate the actions and techniques of the best. If you don't like public speaking, this same process will help you become comfortable with presenting. So why do it alone when you have the best in the world you can use as...

Hi and thank you for listening, this is Stuart Walter, delivering another episode on performance mindset. Now, back to the title, I know, "You are not a Leader" it is a harsh statement. It is also true, deny it all you want, if you attack the world with an ego, a message, make a stance and say I am a leader, if people don't want to listen or follow, they won't. The world is full of influencers, and understand the concept... 'Get more followers' generally at any cost, do they all succeed?...

"You are what you choose to believe you can be" Stuart Walter Now take a moment to break this down. 1 You are what you choose 2 Choose to believe 3 Believe you can 4 You can be! Yes, this one line quote of mine above, can be the basis of your success this year and every year following. You choose your emotions, actions, beliefs and behaviours. So therefore you choose success or failure, you choose happiness or anger. This Episode, I have gone interactive, this is an incredibly powerful...
