"Business Lessons from the Wealth Dynamics Experience" (Una and Friends)
Sometimes life gets in the way of the best laid plans so I’ve had to change the plans for today’s radio show. My usual back-up suspects are not available today so I’ve had to put my thinking cap. As always, needs must and I have now come up with what I think will make a great show!
Regular listeners will have heard me mention Wealth Dynamics and I’ve had some Wealth Dynamics practitioners on the show in the past as guests.
In today’s show, myself and Steve Ireland will discuss some of our key learnings from a 3-day course we recently attended, the Wealth Dynamics Experience.
Do you wonder how the wealthiest people in the world got there when they have followed such opposing paths to success?
- Bill Gates leverages his products with other people's systems
- Jeff Bezos leverages his system with other people's products
- Jack Welch chose to run companies he did not start
- Richard Branson chose to start companies he does not run
- Warren Buffett invests in companies he neither started nor runs
Wealth Dynamics is an entrepreneurial profiling system that helps people to understand their strengths and value. This means they can then learn the appropriate business strategies for them to follow in order to leverage their particular value.

“Maximise Your Resources” with special guest Jonathon Yates (Una & Friends)
This weeks topic: “Maximise Your Resources” with special guest Jonathon Yates.
Sometimes the lack mentality in our environment helps us to forget what is actually right under our nose; a wealth of resources. A key element of achieving peak performance is recognizing and maximizing our resources.
Author Jonathan Yates started his first business with very little seed capital during a period of zero income from his spare room after inventing a product which helps people drink more water whilst being kind to the environment.
The poduct, Wahoo, is available in MoD ration packs all across the world and was launched in Asda and Waitrose during March 2009 and Morrisons for May 2009.
Jon has recently written “100 All-Time Essentials for Entrepreneurs” and his forthcoming book, “Fresources: How to start a business with no money” is due October ’09.

“Money, Empowerment & Thinking Big” with special guest Ekaterina Mitiaev (Una & Friends)
This week’s topic: “Money, Empowerment & Thinking Big” with special guest Ekaterina Mitiaev, UK Director of The Hunger Project.
When reading Lynne Twist’s “The Soul of Money” (a book I highly recommend by the way!) I came across The Hunger Project, which Lynne was a big part of for about 20 years. I was very impressed by the way this organization seeks to help by empowering people with resources, instead of doing things for them.
In fact, they may be going to apply some methodologies in the UK that have worked in Africa – how’s that for a change of perspective?
This is going to be one heck of a show and I suggest you put this in your diary to listen in live, call in and chat! (Or email me on [email protected]).
Ekaterina Mitiaev became UK Country Director of The Hunger Project in 2005. Previously, she had extensive project management experience from coordinating large telecom projects in the United Kingdom, Russia and Israel. She holds an MBA from London Business School and is particularly interested in the subject of knowledge management and how it can be applied to international development.
