For many people, the decision to make changes in their lives – especially professionally – can be daunting. Our perceived success is so deeply entwined with this idea of employment and moving up the corporate ladder that taking a step away and doing something you love or to improve your mental health is terrifying. An increasing number of people are reaching out to business coaches, like Gordon Burke at Explonential, to help them take the plunge – and feel confident in doing so.
“Your business is your emotional shadow,” Gordon says. “You need to learn to get out of your own way to successfully grow your business.”
After embarking on the life of an entrepreneur as a teenager, Gordon has gone on to build more than 20 businesses. He’ll be the first to tell you that he’s made and lost millions over this time, but he’s also come away with some truly valuable experience and insights that he’s now using to help other business owners and those looking to take the leap from employee to employer. He has worked with literally thousands of clients across 24 countries with a focus on seminars, group sessions and one-to-one coaching.
Entrepreneur; human behaviour expert; business performance coach; wealth coach; professional public speaker – these are all terms that can be used to describe Gordon today.
He founded Explonential back in 2021 in a bid to help business owners stand out from their competition by developing a winning mindset and subsequent business model. Gordon used his studies in psychology and human behaviour to fully understand the human condition and how it relates to business performance and personal relationships, as well as overcoming obstacles and perceived failures. The unique Explonential process that resulted from this covers Mindset, Business and Wealth.
Mindset matters. The team at Explonential help their clients to develop a winning mindset, which fosters explosive and exponential growth in both their professional and personal lives. Their proven business consulting model sees clients find their higher purpose, do what they love, delegate in order to grow and, finally, make themselves redundant. They fully believe that wealth is a mindset. Wealth creation is a long-term game, reached by controlling your emotions and raising your ‘deserve level’. Combined, these steps have grown countless businesses and helped people reach their ultimate goals.
“It certainly changed my perspective of where I was at the time to where I currently am, and that’s vastly different to what I thought I’d be doing,” says client Rob, who approached Gordon back in 2017 when he was looking to leave his job and start his own business. “I actually employ 4 people now and some other full-time subcontractors.”
If you’re looking for help on how to get started, grow or even expand your business, Gordon and the team at Explonential want to hear from you. Their services are tailored according to exactly where you’re at in your journey, with a focus on doing what you love and making your money work for you (rather than the other way around). Reach out to Gordon on his LinkedIn page or the Explonential website.
