		<description>As an entrepreneurial leader, you will deal with a leadership crisis or problem at multiple points on your entrepreneurial journey. This series is called “Small-Business Leadership” and not just “Leadership” because there is a stark difference between personal, small business and big business leadership. At the heart of the series is how entrepreneurs have to change the way they lead as they evolve from a startup to a corporation. 
This podcast series offers practical tools and insights on how to constantly evolve and adapt your leadership style as your business grows.</description>

		<description><![CDATA[Congratulations! Your business is doing well and you’re growing every day. You’ve decided to employ more people to fill in competency gaps, but . . . are you about to hit the ‘valley of death’? <br />
Every growing business hits three tripwires as it begins to scale – three points when a leader will realise he or she has bitten off more than they can chew. At each of these points, a leader has a very important decision to make: learn and grow with the organisation, or keep the status quo and crumble. These necessary shifts for growth can leave even the most confident leader feeling incompetent and overwhelmed.<br />
In episode five of his Small Business Leadership podcast series, Allon discusses the changing dynamics of leading others as an organisation scales. Listen in to hear if any of these scenarios are your current reality. <a href="https://www.raizcorp.com/raizors-edge-podcast/">Explore more -></a>]]></description>

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1143521</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1143521</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[As a small business leader do you know your why, your purpose for existence? Do you have a vision? Do you have a distinct strategy to reach that vision? <br />
Many entrepreneurs start out with grand visions for their business but as time goes on this vision gets lost as the focus shifts to short-term monthly survival. Without purpose in your business, your why is hard to answer. Without your why, your vision is not clear and your strategic path cannot be plotted. With no strategy in place to reach your vision, you cannot anticipate what could go wrong (and things will go wrong!) Have you thought out your plan B, C and D? Are you aware of the resources realistically available to you? Can you respond to your changing environment quickly and efficiently, or are your employee’s losing confidence in you as a leader? <br />
Smaller businesses feel the ripples of the environment more than bigger businesses and need to be more responsive to self-correct swiftly. Join Allon as he discusses why it is so important to have a clear strategy about the path we lead others along. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In episode 3, Allon discusses the importance of self-leadership as a successful entrepreneurial leader. He details four focus areas that one needs to understand before trying to lead others. One – Self-awareness: understand your own biases and what clouds your judgement. Understand your strengths and weaknesses and surround yourself with people you trust to fill the gaps. Two – Self-improvement: Great! Now you know where to improve, so do it! Create a plan of action and seek out critique and feedback. Three – Self-motivation: In seeking motivation, entrepreneurs need to look internally and not externally – Allon shares his unique way of motivating himself. Four- Self-discipline wraps up these four concepts and pulls together how with clear thinking, entrepreneurs can easily say no an opportunity that does not actually serve them. The success to every leader, is self-leadership. ]]></description>
