He is the Founder of <a href="https://www.thebusinessclubhouse.co.uk/">The Business Clubhouse</a>. He is also a <a href="https://www.ash-taylor.co.uk/speaking/">speaker</a> and a business coach supporting small business owners. Ash is also the author of the recently-released book titled <a href="https://amzn.to/2VLzhe2"><em>Hitting the Wall: Winning the game of business by breaking through your own barriers</em></a>. You can learn more at <a href="http://hittingthewallbook.co.uk/">hittingthewallbook.co.uk</a>.</p> <p>Today, we talk about Ash's “favorite mistake” of working with clients that he was not well suited for, in the context of a business that he owned that provided services and coaches for tennis clubs. How has Ash worked to avoid making the same mistake in new ventures? How successful has he been at that? How does he coach other entrepreneurs around this issue?</p> <p>We also talk about coaching business leaders and how we can make it safe, creating a culture of not being afraid to put your hand up and ask for help, as he aims to create a psychologically-safe environment of peers.</p> <p>Ash and I also chat about planning for what to do WHEN we make a mistake (since we WILL make mistakes).</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/favorite-mistake/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/favorite-mistake/support</a>
