A Spotlight on What Business Success Looks Like in 2022; with Michael Haynes - #57

This is a very special episode of the 6 Star Business podcast, as we welcome back to the microphone a previous guest, Michael Haynes!

We purposefully arranged to have this conversation with him so that we could hear from Michael his thoughts on where we are in business in 2022, what’s really going on with the ‘great resignation’, what are the biggest pressures businesses are facing, and much more.

It was a wonderful conversation, and I’m really grateful to have Michael’s insights and wisdom.


My co-host today is the fabulous Joanne Brooks.


Here’s a summary of what we discussed:


08:35 - Michael’s view of a 6 Star Business

10:30 - Identifying the decision makers

14:07 - when the marketing simply isn’t working

19:15 - the ‘dark funnel’ not many know about

29:00 - why automation is not the answer

31:45 - the challenges senior leaders face

35:56 - why collaboration matters

49:45 - the shift in focus from the Big 4


plus a lot more…

It’s a fabulous, high-energy show!


Enjoy!

About the Podcast

Mission Activated
Conversations and reflections on living your purpose and leading from alignment
Mission Activated is a podcast about living with purpose and leading from alignment.
Hosted by Aveline Clarke, founder of 6 Star Leaders, the show moves between two kinds of episodes: conversations with people doing meaningful work in their own way, and solo reflections drawn from her work coaching conscious leaders through what gets in the way and what's possible on the other side.
This isn't a podcast about hustle, performance, or scale at all costs. It's about the inner work that makes the outer work matter. Self-trust. Clean communication. Owning your part. Becoming someone others can safely navigate by.
If you're tired of leadership content that's loud and shallow, and you're looking for something quieter, more honest, and more useful, this is for you.
New episodes fortnightly. Stay aligned.
