330) SOLO - Going ALL In: The Truth, Lessons & The Future
Today, the guest is me and it’s time for a solo episode. In this solo special, I open up about the leap I’ve taken into going all in on sales coaching and podcasting. It didn’t happen the way I planned and that’s the point. When the security you thought you had disappears overnight, what matters most is how you respond.Expect to learn:Why I decided to make sales coaching my full-time focus.The emotional rollercoaster of redundancy and how this time was different to 2019Key business lessons from watching an industry collapse from the inside.Why “profit beats revenue” and the trap of vanity projects.How to prepare yourself mentally, physically, and financially for curveballs.What “identity capital” means and how to build it.Why I believe sales coaching is the most optimal entrepreneurial vehicle for me.How mentors, clients, and community helped me navigate the transition.How I selected who I chose to tell, when and howThe long-term vision for CamBro Conversations and my coaching business.This episode takes you from my start in the furniture sales industry in 2021, through the curve ball of redundancy in 2025, to the decision to go all in.I share candid reflections on fear, excitement, and freedom, as well as practical strategies that kept me grounded: protecting sleep, fuelling my body, journaling, and sticking with small daily habits that compound over time.You’ll hear the business lessons too from the dangers of chasing vanity revenue, to the importance of saying no, to why resilience and strategy matter more than ever when the unexpected happens.The closing message is simple: sometimes you don’t get to choose the timing, but you can always choose how you respond.
