How are YOU doing ? Checking In With Yourself!
10/22/20 • 8 min
If you don’t look after yourself you can’t grow. With all of the disruption around us it’s important to make sure you check in with yourself and take stock of how you’re doing retrospectively, personally and in business so that you can get clarity to plan your next steps forward. In today’s episode, Jay shares his tips on how you too can ‘check-in with yourself’ improve your mindset, optimise your energy and gain clarity.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
.
- It’s important to reward yourself and manage your energy levels because if you cannot look after yourself you cannot look after others.
- There’s clarity in unloading your problems and stresses onto a friend, colleague or mentor and seeing a clear vision of plan moving forward as a result.
- It is essential to diarise downtime in your week, exercise daily, learn to say no and find ways to nourish your body by making sleep a priority.
- You need to avoid burning out and crashing by listening to your body and your mind by checking in with yourself and allowing yourself to feel what you’re feeling.
- Always be looking for opportunities to boost your energy and optimise your lifestyle so that you’re looking at yourself and staying mentally strong.
- Often business books and inspirational stories are born off of a setback or a way that you can keep yourself going when everything seems like you want to stop.
- Checking in with yourself is not about education or reading more books, it’s about speaking to yourself, listening to yourself and using that calm and clarity to take your next steps forward.
BEST MOMENTS
“You need to look after yourself”
“Reach out because there will be people there to help you”
“Be honest with yourself when you need help”
“There’s a constant disruption of business in today’s economic climate”
“Entrepreneurs often take on too much and get tired and fatigued and with the current pandemic, the lack of communication and face-to-face meetings have taken a lot of energy away from business.”

ABOUT THE HOST
Jay Dhillon is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist based in the UK with a proven track record of growing businesses from start-up to success- and helping others do the same. From humble beginnings, Jay grew his first business from 0 to 500 employees and three locations, racking up sales of over £30 million – all with no investment other than a slight amount of savings. The business went on to acquire major clients such as Landrover, Jaguar, Toyota, and New Look, to name a few.
Its immense success inevitably brought about outside interest, and at the age of 33, Jay eventually sold the company to a London investment firm in Doyen Resources. Today, Jay owns several businesses in different sectors and helps entrepreneurs achieve success.
A calling to give back and help others led to Jay being chosen for the highly coveted role as a Prince’s Trust mentor, where his achievements were marked by a personal invitation to Buckingham Palace to meet Prince Charles.
After helping several young entrepreneurs to succeed as a mentor for the Trust, Jay’s burning desire to bring his wisdom and knowledge to a wider audience ultimately triggered the concept of The Business Mentor Podcast.
Jay feels that anyone can achieve success in business with the right advice and mentoring and is now sharing his knowledge with his growing audience via his podcast.
In the UK alone 95% of businesses fail within the first five years and Jay aims to reduce that number.
Backed with the hard-earned knowledge and experience from his time in business, The Business Mentor Podcast will share Jay’s personal business lessons as well those of other successful entrepreneur guests who share their wisdom and secrets on the show.

Previous Episode
Is It Time To Go ALL IN Or Do You Need To HOLD BACK?
Should you all in or should you hold back? This is a question that runs quite frequently in the entrepreneurs' mind, and in this episode, Jay shares some detailed tips and advice on how you can approach this question. If you’re at a crossroads with your business or new start up this episode is for you.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Before you decide whether to go all-in or you decide to hold back on an opportunity presented to you by life, you've got to look at two things, best case scenario and worst-case scenario. You got to base it on logic, not emotion because when emotion is high, intelligence is low.
- Emotions hinder so many people from achieving their goals or becoming successful maybe because they feared doing something and failed previously.
- Do is your own research. As an entrepreneur, it's good to hear what other people are saying or reading, but it is even wiser to do your own research and not be highly dependent on the thoughts of others. Research will make you go deeper and challenge your thought process rather than jumping in based on hearsay.
- Are you secure financially? When you invest all of your money in one opportunity, you need to know what your fall-back is when things don't go as planned.
- If you're going for an opportunity, you need to make sure that you look at your downside as well as the upside, but if you are confused when making that final decision, it would be wise to also involve a mentor.
BEST MOMENTS
“When emotion is high intelligence is low.”
“The more research you do into a topic, into an area, into an opportunity, the better you will get of taking hold of the opportunity.”
“When you go into something full in, and you've not researched it, it's a difficult loss.”
“If you are putting all that you got in an opportunity you didn’t research on, you are gambling.”
“Your position will be different from somebody else's position.”
“If you're testing it, then it may be a good idea to look at this on a contract role, rather than taking someone on full time.”
“Before you go into growth, or looking to make some mega spends, then have a look at getting the advice.”

Next Episode
World Boxing Champion - JOHNNY NELSON: Facing Your FEARS and Creating A CHAMPION MINSDET - With Jay Dhillon
“Failure is common to most people, but there are ways and things that you can do to avoid it.” In today’s episode of The Business Mentor podcast, Jay interviews Former undefeated WBO World Champion boxer and serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist, Johnny Nelson. Together they discuss what it takes to be successful and how to elevate your personal and business life in this enthralling episode.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Quitting should never be a habit when you face challenges. You have to keep on putting even more effort in and look at the challenge at a different angle and try to solve it because quitting does not mean that challenges are over.
- Lack of discipline makes a lot of people fail in their lives. Success is not easy to achieve, if your focus is to attain a particular goal in your life, you have to be very disciplined, such that nothing can derail you from achieving your purpose.
- Habit is everything. Make it a habit to do that thing that helps you achieve your goals. Once your thirst is quenched by achieving your goals, you need to find a new motivation to make your calendar stay there.
- Wisdom is something that is achieved over time. You have to go through good and bad experiences to know how to manoeuvre through challenges that come your way.
- The upbringing of someone is very crucial to what they become later on in their lives and if someone is brought up with a very good foundation, he or she will probably be a very significant or successful person in society.
- For you to succeed you have to have mentors who have the foresight and understanding and selflessness to help you. They help you find comfort in discomfort, by believing in you more than you even believe in yourself and once you are comfortable in those situations, you can do anything you can to achieve anything.
- Keep the negativity out of your mind and keep the negative people far away from you if you want to succeed in life. Never listen to what negative people say to you, but keep pushing on because if you do, you are the fool and not them.
BEST MOMENTS
“Some people are born knowing their path in life, others fall upon their path in life and some it's forced upon them.”
“If you create good habits, they will affect every aspect of your life.”
“If you knock about with idiots, you've got more chances of being an idiot.”
“Ego is our biggest downfall as human beings.”
“You can always remember the truth, you can't remember a lie.”
“Success breeds success.”
