In this episode, Sean continues his insightful conversation with Steve Fraser, a seasoned entrepreneur who transitioned from the restaurant industry to the world of online natural health. Steve shares his personal journey, including the challenges he faced when his wife was diagnosed with Lyme disease, which led to the creation of a gluten-free pasta brand. The duo also discuss Steve's new book, "Release the Coffee Cuffs," where he reveals the hidden dangers of caffeine addiction and its effects on sleep and overall health.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The journey from being a restaurateur to an online natural health entrepreneur involved significant personal challenges, including a family health crisis that led to the development of a gluten-free pasta business and later a focus on mitigating the effects of electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs).
Caffeine consumption can lead to various health issues, including disrupted sleep patterns and potential negative effects on reproductive health.
Self-sabotage is identified as a common issue that undermines personal goals. The four pillars of self-sabotage—spiritual, emotional, financial, and physical—are crucial for understanding how individuals can better manage their behaviours and improve their overall well-being.
Engaging with a knowledgeable coach or joining a mastermind group is essential for entrepreneurs. This support system can provide valuable insights and accountability, helping individuals navigate the complexities of starting and running a business.
To avoid turning a coaching business into a hobby, it's vital to identify multiple revenue streams and understand the target audience. Effective monetisation requires thorough research, a clear business plan, and the ability to adapt based on feedback and market needs.
BEST MOMENTS
"Caffeine has absolutely no nutritional or health value to anyone in the world. That's fact that's documented."
"What do you have for entrepreneurs that are like, geez, you know, I mean, I'm working until midnight. What guidance would you offer them?"
"If you're sitting next to a router and you don't mitigate this, your immune system is shut down."
"The caffeine molecule is so similar to the adenosine molecule that when you drink it, it plugs the adenosine receptor, which now means you don't get tired."
"It sounds like even if people may be sceptical, the most prudent thing would be to eliminate caffeine altogether during pregnancy."
