I’ve been making “sharppodcast” since 2017
If you can’t find help with something here, it possibly doesn’t exist!
We’re re-uploading some classics from the past 6 years. These episodes are hand-picked from subjects we think can help you get even better at what you do.
This month we’re listening again to our episode where we challenge the notion that ‘positive’ is automatically good. We hope you enjoy it!
Episode 25 – This week, we challenge the idea that being ‘positive’ is always the best approach. In fact, we discovered some research that suggests it could even hold you back.
Episode 81 – You’re gonna love this episode.
You may not enjoy managing finances or find it interesting. And yet, if we could get better at dealing with them, we’re highly likely to get better results.
So I decided to talk to an expert – Hayley Jones – the non-stereotypical accountant. If you’re employed, self-employed, or run a business – I’m confident you’ll discover something to help you.
