On Wednesday 22nd Sharon Wright, inventor of the Magnamole, took the UK by storm as she appeared on our screens in Dragon’s Den and won the hearts and minds of not only the Dragons but also the British Public. Her polished pitch in the Den has earned her the name of Dragon Slayer and for onlookers it may appear that Sharon was an overnight success. Sharon’s personal story though is very different and she is now hoping to inspire youngsters all over the world with her down-to-earth wit and straight talking. Join Sarah and Sharon as we share our personal stories of growing up in a town that is less than inspiring, going to a school that gave up on us both and then, despite the odds and with commitment and downright determination, making it. It is an inspiring story for all youngsters, parents and business owners to hear.

Business Building for Parent/Teen Coaches.

OK, as most of you know, a few weeks ago I took to the hills and set out on a 79-mile long distance walk over 5 days. You can view the video to see what happened but basically, after 50 miles I was really, really ill and had to retire. In that absolute down moment of realising that I truly was not going to make it a strange thing happened. As we sat in a church ( it was cold and rainy that day) waiting for someone to come and get me I realised that how I approached this walk was how I approached everything in life, including my business, and that was a good thing. Let me explain why.

1. Just like preparing for this long distance walk, I did not know what to expect when I started my business. So I went in enthusiastically, maybe a little naively.

2. Over half way through I realised that I had pushed myself too hard and needed to regroup and focus. My mental energy was spent and I need to recharge. I do this often in my business.

3. Instead of beating myself up about what I had not done, I marvelled in the fact that I had walked 50 miles. Just as I do when something does not work quite as expected in my business.

4. After a recharge I asked myself a very important question. What have I learnt so that when I do this next time I can be more prepared and go further? I do this all in my business.

Running a business is, I believe, all about failure because if you never fail you are probably never moving forward and trying new things. The key is to fail better than you failed before, so the next walk I go on I may not get to the end but I will get further than I went before that. There will be some reading this, wincing and thinking how could I be so negative, what about the law of attraction here, how can you want to fail? Well you see, for me failure is a time to celebrate; it means I have taken a risk and it means I have learnt something and most of all, embracing failure means I will never beat myself up and that to me is key. I see so many business owners put so much pressure on themselves and then beat themselves up when things don’t go how they wanted. I never ever want to be that way. All I have to worry about is failing better then I failed before And it has stood me well.

So what can you take from my insights and apply to your business?

Are you a coach with a burning desire to help parents and teenagers?

Do you believe you have a message that the world needs to hear?

Great! Well, so do I and I want to help you…..no flannel, no bull, no sales pitch, just an invitation to join my gang. All you need is the dedication, commitment and patience that it takes to build a killer business.
