Description

Welcome to this episode of the Fail Forward podcast.   Regular listeners of the Fail Forward Podcast, plus members of my Tree Surgeons Mastermind will have heard me talk about the four critical pillars of building a successful business - one of which is systems.    In this episode I’m joined by someone who doesn’t just know about systemising business, but someone who can make the process interesting - Alexis Kingsbury   “Great people + great processes = great business outcomes.”   After spending years helping large corporates systemise their organisations, Alexis set out on his own business journey and, like many business owners before him, fell foul of a common mistake. He failed to systemise his own business in the best possible way.    In fact, Alexis estimates that failing to put effective systems in place cost him around £200k!!   The good news is, in this episode Alexis shares what went wrong and, more importantly, what he did next to recover from those mistakes in order to build back stronger than ever.    What’s more, Alexis also shares how this learning experience resulted in the creation of a whole new business product specifically designed to help busy entrepreneurs build live and interactive systems for their business that actually make it quicker than “freestyling”!   In just under an hour you’ll gain a better understanding of the many benefits of creating robust systems along with several absolute golden nuggets of useful information.    If you enjoyed listening to Alexis, click here to connect on LinkedIn.   If you’re enjoying the Fail Forward podcasts, follow me on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn for all the latest on my mission to help business owners Fail Forward.    Facebook https://www.facebook.com/failforwardhenri LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/henri-ghijben-539132101/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@failforward12 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/henrighijben/

Failure is only negative if you don’t learn from it Fail Forward is the weekly podcast hosted by entrepreneur and family man Henri Ghijben. In each episode you’ll hear from Henri and guests as they share real-life experiences of positives born from failure, reflections on the lessons learned from ‘losing it all, and what fuels Henri’s desire to help others overcome personal and business challenges in order to create the lives they want to live. Who is Henri Ghijben? Growing up in Bury St Edmunds, Henri’s first memorable experience of failure left him with the lasting ability to never get lost. It proved to be the first of many times Henri would fail forward. But it wasn’t until he faced losing his home, business and possibly even his family, that he realised the truth. Failure is only negative if you don’t learn from it. Against the odds, Henri has rebuilt from rock bottom. He’s now on a mission to help others avoid making the same mistakes he did, to help those facing failure see that there is a way back and that by failing forward they can enjoy success again. Ever thankful for the love and support of his family, the loyalty of his team and the help of business owners who helped him when the chips were down, Henri now lives in Southampton where he runs HRG Tree Surgeons, has growing property management and investment businesses and runs mentoring programmes for business owners, entrepreneurs and directors who are on their own growth journeys.
