Are you ready to learn, grow, and invest in your ongoing development? Don't miss out on our latest podcast featuring a special guest who shares invaluable insights for business success. Troy asks our special guest how they started, when was the moment they felt they had succeeded, would they go into this industry again, and he asks our special guest to share the most stressful point in their small business growth journey, where they have had to work the hardest for the most value, what do they love the most about growing a small business, the number one habit a small business owner needs to develop and maintain, and how they added people to the team, sharing their wins, mistakes and advice and much, much more. In this episode, Troy asked Shiloh Johnson, the founder of Complyant based in Melbourne, Australia, the final five questions: What do you think is the most challenging part of growing a small business? Shiloh underlines the significance of retaining the essentials. Losing your way is quite simple. It's simple to get sidetracked while seeking income by achieving other people's objectives. The attention can make it simple to lose focus. But if you could simply remember the most important thing—the reason you're doing this in the first place— things become a little bit simpler. Shilo’s favorite business book is "Discover Your True North" by Bill George. A remarkable exercise in self-discovery and leadership. The author of the manual guides you through the telling of your own life story, helping you to clarify it through a close-knit process of self-discovery. Shiloh finds listening to a tax podcast at Bloomberg to be of great benefit to her professional growth. A rapid download of the latest technological developments. She has lived her entire life in the startup industry, so it's wonderful that she has a little opportunity to stay current on tax developments. Shiloh suggests an effective tool for small business growth is just one good budget. She advises keeping things simple. Find a way to enter and remove really simple amounts of money from the spreadsheet so you can always keep an eye on things. This is especially important if you plan to invest because it is very easy to lose focus and end up spending much more than you intended. When you blink, your money is gone the next thing you know. Make a decent budget, then. Finally, if Shiloh could go back to day one of starting out, she would tell herself that there is absolutely nothing in her way except she keeps going. She added, “I spent too much time muddling around potential hurdles. There really weren't any. It was just me.” Book a 20-minute Growth Chat with Troy Trewin to see if you qualify for our upcoming course. Don't miss out on this opportunity to take your small business to new heights!
