Andrew Savage - The Business Bloke
Growing your agribusiness or Ag tech company can be stressful I am The Business Bloke, and I help business's like yours grow, become fun, and increase income. Join me for insights, stories and motivation to take your business to another level.
You can break free from stress and burnout by spending just a short time each day, organising your time.
This means you will achieve your goals faster and easier, because getting that stuff out of your head, and on to paper, releases overwhelm from your unconscious mind, and lets you think about what you can do, not what you haven’t done.
In this episode I will run you through my weekly and daily routine, which helps me beat all of that stress.

The NLP model of communication is a powerful approach that helps us understand how we communicate and how we can be more effective in our communication.
It takes into account factors like sensory preferences, internal representation, emotional state, and behavior.
By understanding these factors and paying attention to them in our communication, we can build stronger relationships and convey our messages more effectively.
If you want to know more about the NLP model of communication, reach out and I would be happy to talk you through it.

I hate selling
I have a story about selling plastics as a kids – it was awful
Hating to sell means you don’t like to trick people
It means maybe you feel like you are using people
But asking for money can be very scary – and there a re fears associated with that.
To make it easy to ask for the money:
Start with the problem
Position your product as the solution
Build a bridge between the problem and the solution by giving them a plan Give your customer a plan
Paint the stakes if they don’t
Paint the stakes if they do
Call them to action – ask for the money
What happens when we position ourselves as the guide, and not the hero – we earn respect, admiration.
Be careful of strategies that discount . Be mindful if any promotion you do is feeling like trickery, or under valuing your product. Is a free set of steak knives truly going to positon you as the solution to the problem.
If we have a quality solution to a quality problem, the money is not usually the objection.
I have a story on here about running over my dog – you’ll need to listen t that one, but money isn’t the problem usually.
As a business made simple coach, I have a free trial to this framework, it is called the customer

Inviting your customers into your story, rather than talking about your product, will result in more sales and less stress.
We do this by using the principals of Hollywood movie writers to create a movie like story that your leads want to be a part of.
What is your favourite move, and how does this resonate?
· A character - your customer
· Has a problem
· And meets a guide
· Who gives them a plan
· And calls them to action.
· That ends in success.
· That helps them avoid failure
· That transforms them from where they are, to where they want to be

Growing a business can be hard and overwhelming.
One strategy I have used to beat the overwhelm is to break business into 6 strategic parts.
-
Leadership
-
Marketing
-
Sales
-
Products
-
Overheads
-
Cashflow
Niching into one or two of these areas at one time, rather than trying to take them all on at once, will help you simplify your business, and relieve the stress.
In the next six episodes, I will do a shallow dive into each of the six strategies to give you some ideas as to how this can help you with your business.

Stuart can show you, anyone with the right mindset and planning can take matters into their own hands and stop euthanizing males calves on farm.
With the processors announcing new requirements, this is a timely podcast, and well worth a listen:

- How to use cows that don't conceive as ’multiple lactation’ cows
- How this works for the bottom line
- The mindset of adjusting your system to move with social pressures
- Genetics and breeding the ultimate cow to milk through
- Feeding cows to maximise potential
I really enjoyed listening to this podcast, and getting a hands on farmers perspective of controlling the narrative and taking action for better actions.
