240: The Politics of Overcoming Business Failure - Jim Cocks

The Politics of Everything

Failure is part of life. It can hit harder – more publicly perhaps- when it comes to your business as well. Here with me is Jim Cocks, who is a respected Australian business coach with a passion for helping entrepreneurs grow and scale faster. Following a ‘quarter-life crisis’, he discovered his love for coaching and became an ICF-accredited coach and trainer. He has worked with thousands of entrepreneurs to help them build freedom-based businesses and offers a tailored coaching pathway to help coaches and other experts grow their businesses online. Entrepreneur Jim Cocks also experienced challenges and burnt out. After hitting rock bottom in his twenties Jim dropped out of the rat-race to find a better path - one with more freedom, wealth, and fulfillment. In his new book, Build Excite Ignite (Dean Publishing $27.90), Jim unpacks his knowledge to provide a practical and personalised coaching guide for those looking to break free

We hear from Jim on:

· The 9-5 is dead already isn’t it after Covid and the normalisation of flex work arrangements in many sectors. Will this remain the case in the years ahead or is that something only entrepreneurs can embrace for the longer term?

· Has hustle culture now become old news and will burnout become also a thing we reject to succeed in business? Explain your experience.

· How can you best bounce back from a business failure?

· Is the idea of using mindset techniques to tackle life with a “winner’s mentality” something new or have you seen it work for many years in different ways perhaps because certain people have that in their DNA? I am thinking of athletes or even business leaders like Steve Jobs who failed and came back. Surely they didn’t have coaches to do this every time.
