Description

Welcome to this episode of the Fail Forward podcast.   In this episode, I’m joined by Natalie Potts, an entrepreneur who spent 19 years climbing the corporate ladder before taking the jump to go out on her own.   Today she works as a coach, mentor and strategist for business owners.    “The people who are out there creating success are the ones who are taking action.”   Having spent her entire career in the corporate world, Natalie imagined she would stay there for rest of her life. Her mindset changed after going to university where she realised the need to adapt.    Shortly after this, Natalie was supporting members of her team through coaching qualifications when she noticed they weren’t learning what they needed to. She took the steps to begin educating herself to become a coach.    In this fast paced episode, Natalie explains that when it comes to business, everything starts with personal development. Knowing yourself well, how you operate and where you choose go to for support, helps you take the steps to get to where you need to be.    As a coach for businesses, Natalie helps people to see that there isn’t a linear path to success. And when it comes to failure, she teaches business owners to view it as an opportunity to improve.    Natalie explains that confidence is an end result, the prerequisite is having the courage to take the step in furthering your knowledge and experience to become confident.     This episode will open up a new way of thinking for you when it comes to how you approach business. You may be convinced to widen your circle of support or to take a new brave step with your business.    If you enjoyed listening to Natalie, click here to find out more about her business.   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.
